"What the fu** is taking her so long!!!" Rhian screamed as she was already fuming with anger and frustration. Her eyes were almost teary.

"Rhian! Calm down! You just called her like two minutes ago! You can't expect her to just fly here within a minute!" Yvel said as she too was getting frustrated with how Rhian was acting up.

"Nothing can kill Blue. So you really have nothing to worry about. By the time you go there to find him, he may have found Trevor by then." Jade said in a hushed manner.

"Where are those fu**ing idi**s when you need them!" Rhian scowled as she dropped herself on the couch. Palming her face with visible frustration.

Samuel just had to fall unconscious for days and Yalex will disappear with no trace. Just in time where everything went really bad.

Or maybe it was actually bound to happen and Samuel is just not there to prevent it from happening like usual.

"You said you also called your vampire friend. Can we trust him?" Coleen asked and Rhian turned to her with a glare.

"Yes. He knows a lot about this group so y'all have nothing to worry. I bet you'll like him better than Yalex." She said as she stood up to head to the dungeon and check the werewolf.

She found the butler there since it was time to feed the werewolf atleast.

"You can go." Rhian said to the butler who quickly left to return and guard Samuel's door.

"You and your friends seems to be in trouble..." said the wolf while glaring at her. His teeth barred and saliva dripping all over his mouth. His eyes glowing yellow and formed into a viper slit.

"And what do you know?" Rhian asked and pulled a chair to sit on.

"I bet my di**! One of your friends is a traitor!" The wolf giggled and cackled to himself.

Rhian simply furrowed her brow. Lifting her feet as she crossed her arms. Staring down at the wolf without batting an eyelash.

"And I bet my boobs. This will be your last meal!" Rhian spat back earning a derisive chuckle from the wolf.

"That's fine milady! Just don't forget to remember me if I'm right." The wolf said rather confidently.

Rhian sat there for a while in complete silence. Staring at the werewolf who kept babbling and badmouthing everyone in her house.

A few minutes later and another vampire had entered the dungeon. None other than Vladimir.

Vladimir spoke to her about his own recent hunt which took place outside the city.

Because while Rhian was busy, Vladimir was also busy tracking down werewolves from outside. Sensing that the werewolves that trespassed the city were each from different packs.

"I might be gone for a while this next few weeks. One of my people had found a lead of one of their hideouts. I think it's worth to check." Vladimir stated as he pulled another chair to sit beside Rhian. Both vampires glaring at the werewolf now eating his final meal as Rhian claimed.

"Do you want me to tag along?" Rhian asked and looked briefly at Vladimir who just shook his head in response.

"No. I know you already have so much in your plate here. Which is why I wanted to check it. I didn't wanna let them add up to your fiasco." Vladimir said as he chuckled.

"Thanks. Be sure to update me though. I'll try to help whenever the time favors it." Rhian said and forced out to smile at him.

"And also thanks for coming on my request. I really can't leave the girls unprotected and you're the only one I know I can trust." She added.

"Oh sheesh! You're making me flutter! This doesn't go for free of course! You're gonna have to let me date your butler in exchange!" Vladimir joked and voth vampires started laughing lightly while nudging each other.

Soon, the two had heard a car parking on her lot. Assuming that it must be Jessi. Rhian and Vladimir decided to leave and locked the dungeon. Making their way to the gates.

Indeed, Jessi finally arrived.

"Vladimir, this is Professor Jessi. She's a fire deity. Professor, this is my friend Vladimir!" Rhian introduced the two.

"Handsome! You go in first! I'll be right behind you!" Jessi said to Vladimir, gesturing the vampire to go in first.

Vladimir nudge at Rhian. Signalling that he'll be going inside and mouthing a good luck to her.

"You should leave now! I'll take it from here! If that boy dies out there, everything that happened will all be in vain. Protecting those girls inside will all be useless! Do you understand?!"

Jessi said in a very stern voice. She sounded very serious and Rhian was quite taken aback with how she spoke.

The vampire wasted no more time and she quickly dashed back to the forest.

+×+

"Blue?"

"Is that you?"

The said angel of death quickly whipped his head to his left hearing a very familiar voice.

It was quite dark because of the shade of the trees. So Blue couldn't really see very clearly.

Blue forced himself to sit up. Looking carefully to where he had heard the voice.

And that's when he noticed the strong shade of red that had stained the ground. Dragging towards a stromg and large tree.

And there he is. The boy they've been searching for hours.

Blue gasped taking in the boy's state. He stood up quickly, wincing at his own injury. But despite the pain, he ran towards Trevor and got a better look of what happened to him.

His breathing is very shallow. His entire body covered with blood. His left hand were clutched on his neck where it was still freshly bleeding continiously.

Blue would have been amused by seeing the sorcerer's purple eyes up close. But the way how it was flickering with a fading shade only add up to his worries.

"W-what happened to you? W-what can I do?" Blue asked in between his shaky breaths. Maintaining a safe distance from the boy.

Trevor weakly groaned. Tiredly and slowly lifting up his free arm towards Blue. Causing the angel a thousand of confusion.

"Y-you said... y-you're my o-only friend..." Trevor spoke in a very throaty and hoarse voice. Blood began pouring out of his mouth.

"Y-you heard us?" Blue asked as his voice cracked.

"Please... I'm tired... B-But I can't l-let this souls... w-wander around... T-take them..." the sorcerer pleaded and his eyes began shedding with whatever's left of his tears.

"No!!! H-how could you ask something like that from me!?" Blue yelled in a panic voice as he quickly crawled back far from Trevor.

Trevor dropped his arm weakly. Looking at Blue with tired and desperate eyes.

"What happened?! Who did this to you?!" Blue cried.

"It doesn't matter. I just want to rest now..." Trevor replied weakly.

"You keep saying you want to rest! Do you really want to die!!? Fu**! Trevor! You could have called for Yalex and for once make a useful of that mark." Blue exclaimed. Too frustrated of not knowing what to do exactly.

It's obvious that Trevor doesn't have much to continue on. He had lost lots of blood base from the tracks they've found. And it's really a miracle that Trevor lasted this long and remained alive. Given with the serious injury on his neck.

"You have to stay awake! Please! Didn't you promised to help me get through this!? You said you are true to your word!" Blue cried. He could only pray that someone arrives to help them.

"I-I'm sorry Blue... I-I don't think I-I can---"

"No! Stop talking! Save your strength! You need to stay alive! Just please call for Yalex!" Blue pleaded and knelt on the ground. Crying harder when Trevor shook his head no.

"Please! D-do it for me! I-I'm your friend right? Please! Don't die on me!" Blue begged as he cry his eyes out and yet Trevor had grown more weaker by second.

"Heeelp!!! Please help!!!" Blue screamed as he stood up only to hurt himself more with his injury.

But he couldn't endure it more and focused himself on screaming for help. Screaming and praying to every Gods. Begging to keep his friend alive in exchange of his loyalty.

After atleast half an hour more. Blue was beyond exhausted. He had stopped screaming for help and was quietly sat in front of Trevor.

He knows Trevor is still alive. He could still feel his life presence but it was very very weak and it's as if walking by a thin thread that are ready to snap anytime.

He was very quiet now and hardly breathing and moving.

While Blue sat there. Silently praying to the God that Trevor survives this day.

A loud thud was heard to their left. The same direction where Blue had fell down earlier.

The boy gasped in relief. He felt like his tears wanted to dam out of his eyes. Seeing his vampire crush arriving at the scene.

But his knees were too weak now to even stand quickly.

"Oh my God! Trevor!!!" Rhian screamed and quickly dashed to check on the sorcerer.

Trevor barely reacted at the sudden contact. Too weak and dying.

"No no! Stay awake okay! You're gonna be alright!" Rhian whimpered as she tried to suppress her tears.

She looked at Blue and noticed his broken arm and swollen ankle. He was obviously injured.

"I-I'm fine... Help him please! I promise I'll do anything just save him!" Blue cried as he looked at Trevor worriedly.

Rhian used all her strength to carry Trevor. He is very lightweight like a feather now so carrying him in a bridal style isn't much of exhausting.

"Follow me! We need to get him back to the house!" Rhian said and waited for Blue to stand up.

The vampire had to lead them to another route. Much further since they are down from the cliff.

Blue couldn't be more worried of his sprained ankled and kept running with Rhian. While the vampire had to maintain a slow pace just to help Blue run along.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry Trevor..." Rhian was silently whispering at Trevor. Feeling the boy shuffle on her arms.

"It's okay..." she heard the boy whispered back. His eyes were now shut closed.

"Just leave me and hurry! He's more important!" Blue said and stopped running, causing Rhian to halt as well.

"Are you insane!? I'm not leaving you here!" She yelled at him.

"Please! You're fast if you don't need to wait for me! I'll be fine! I promise I'll come back to the house in one piece so just go!" Blue yelled and forced Rhian to go forward. Careful enough not to touch Trevor.

As much as Rhian wanted to refuse. Blue had a point. She might make it in time to the house if she doesn't need to wait for Blue.

"I-I'll come back for you! So you better stay alive!" She said before finally sprinting away with a heavy heart.

It only took her a few minutes and she finally made it to the mansion. Quickly dashing to where the others were gathered.

Everyone looked at them with surprise. Especially to the half-alive sorcerer on her arms.

Rhian carefully placed him on the floor. Her tears had now brimmed her cheeks. Feeling gravely at fault for the sorcerer's situation.

"Help him please!" Rhian cried as Jessi crouched beside the boy to check him.

"You two! You both can heal! Come and help him!" Jessi said to Jade and Coleen. Urging them to come.

Coleen just looked away. Biting her lips as she avoided their piercing gaze.

"You fu**ing idiot!!! What the hell is wrong with you!!?" Jessi snapped at the girl at her sudden action. Quickly turning to the mermaid.

"And you! Don't you dare disregard him! You're a fu**ing royalty so serve your fu**ing purpose!" Jessi yelled at Jade causing her to flinch a bit.

Jade looked at everyone. Seeing them with mixed emotions and it made her feel very burdened.

Jade walked closer to Trevor's body. Kneeling in front of her as she clear her throat and her hand began to grow shaky.

"Hurry! Please! He doesn't have much time!" Rhian cried while Vladimir helped her up to give Jade a space.

Jade gathered her thoughts. Lifting her trembling hands above Trevor's body. But before she could start...

Don't... You all think I deserve this... So why bother?

Jade froze when she heard Trevor's voice in her mind.

"What the fu**!!? Are you waiting for fu**ing christmas! Help him!!!" Jessi screamed at her with sheer terror. And the girls would definitely admit now that they should never give Jessi a reason to be angry again.

Jade took a deep breath and tried to disregard Trevor's voice in her mind. Looking at his now unmoving body.

And few seconds later...

Jade started humming. A song that nobody in that house heard before.

There aren't any words needed to be heard. It was all a very calming and soothing sound. Very relaxing that they all feel like dozing off. Especially with the mermaid's soft and gentle voice.

It took Jade a while to finally heal the boy's wounds. But he was still far from being safe given that he had lost many blood.

And now that is their new problem. Because Trevor would still die without any blood to transfer in him.

Given that Blue is still in the forest. Jessi had to force Rhian to leave with Vladimir and go get the angel of death.

While she, stayed with the others figuring out that Trevor is a Type A blood. They just needed someone else with the same bloodtype since the bloodbags in Rhian's storage are all from animals.

Jessi tested everyone, including the butler and checked their bloodtypes. Finding only one comparison.

And what are the odds for it to be Coleen.
