Skull ring

[PRESENT TIME]

"Damn it…" Klaus cursed under his breath after recalling what happened last night.

Once Samael left him, Klaus' felt weak, as if he was withdrawing toxins from his fangs. The only thing he could remember was Fabian dragging him by the foot.

His memories were vague. But he could clearly remember Fabian's wicked smile while burying him.

'I know my fangs are not as strong as before. Also, there's always a tang of bitterness in my tongue.' Klaus muttered inwardly.

He touched his side tooth, pressing his thumb against it. It wasn't as sensitive as before, too.

"You should thank her ladyship for saving you from your impending doom." Suddenly, Klaus snapped to his senses upon hearing Rufus's voice from behind him.

He slowly dropped his hand. Slowly, Klaus turned to Rufus. His expression instantly sported a look of disdain.

"Non sense! Why would I be grateful to that insignificant human?!"
