Chaos

Yibo's Pov.

It happened so quickly, all I heard was the sound of bones breaking and screaming. When I looked into the ring, the old geezer was writhing in pain while bleeding out on the ground.

Although witches are not permitted in the ring, they do their best to maintain the rules and order within the dungeon. They would have been able to tell if he had been using magic, so the question is: how is he managing to do that?

Chaos knelt down next to him and whispered something in his ear. Then he yanked off his head.

I told you I liked his confidence; you've got yourself a monster. Lan mumbled in my ear. I will collect my $20 grand from you when we get home. I know you want to bet your money on him but don't know how. You are welcome.

If shameless were a person, Lan was his name.

Chaos, claim your prize at the cash register. Sean used the megaphone he was carrying to speak. Lan, do you want to drink outside? He gave me a look that I am all too familiar with. In other words, he wanted to speak with Lan alone.

Yibo, I'll be back; put a wager for me if you think anyone can win. Lan squeezed my shoulder before standing up to join Sean.

Chaos walked out of the ring and headed to the back door. While they clean the ring before other fighters come in.

I wonder what Sean and Lan are talking about, but I know Lan will tell me.

Lan's Pov.

Lan, I've known you for many years and we're like family. I'm not going to mince words. I noticed Chaos's eyes lit up when he saw Yibo. I am aware that Yibo can fuck anything as long as it brings him pleasure. However, chaos is a bad market you don't want to price and if you know what's good for you, keep Yibo away from him. Sean seemed solemn, and I knew he'd never lie to me.

What's with the name though? I asked as Sean took a gulp from the bottle of Bourbon he was holding.

A little over two years ago, I was in town with the boys, buying drinks and chasing women as usual. I saw him sitting in a truck across from the liquor store with a human girl. At first, I didn't pay attention to him; he looked odd. He kept biting his lips and nodding his head. I decided to overhear their conversation. She was calming him down.

"I can't hear anything," she said.

You can't since you're human and they're a bit far away. Vampires irritate me. He clenched his teeth.

Relax, we'll be out of here in a few minutes. She assured him.

It's becoming louder and louder. He screamed and motioned for her to remain in the truck.

I'm going to slay them filthy bloodsuckers. He growled. His face became pale before she could say anything. Stay in the car, I mean it. His tone was icy. He then exited the truck. He can't be talking about vampires around town. They're somewhat distant from the market, and I'm not sure how he overheard them talking. Out of curiosity, I and the boys followed him.

He kept muttering under his breath, but I couldn't understand a word he said. He didn't seem to mind that we were following, and my witch was with us, so I wasn't too concerned.

When he walked into their compound and saw them it got very loud. They were actually betting and fights.

Can you fucking lower your filthy voices? I have a headache, and you aren't the only vampires in town. You are too fucking loud. He roared.

Everyone halted what they were doing and turned their attention to him; some of them chuckled, while others growled before everyone became quiet.

Isn't it better? He spoke in an impatient manner and then turned to leave.

Who the hell do you think you are to come into our territory and tell us what to do? One of the older vampires asked. Their bodies itching to attack.

Your most terrifying nightmare. He said it casually. And I got the impression that he was sick of living and actively seeking death.

Someone is having dad issues, or is it mommy issues? A girl spoke out.

He turned to face her and laughed. Tell me that to my face, you little whore. "This guy is a psychopath" as he laughed in the face of death. I thought.

"Are you having dad issues or are they mommy issues?". She took a step forward, and before we could react, her heart was on the ground. It was as if he lost his mind, ripping out their hearts and slicing off their heads. He was stronger and quicker than anything I've ever encountered.

My witch cast a protective spell around us, and when he was done, he cleaned himself. He snarled as he turned to face us. Is this a protection spell? I'm not sure how he got into the circle.

Sorry about your friends; they were a bit of a nuisance. He said and walked out of the compound.

My witch was excited about him, so she invited him to the dungeon. She said she could learn a few spells from him. He comes every now and again. And we've reached an agreement. Don't mess with my people, and don't start killing vampires outside the ring.

"That was how the guys started calling him chaos and everyone now calls him that." He is a tool to make money; Yibo should stay away from him.

Sean, you are needed inside. One of his cashiers came to call him. Gotta work. I'll stop by the house tomorrow. Sean gave me that warning look again before he entered inside.

I was lost for words. He seemed very powerful to be able to kill a vampire that was over 500 years old.

Lan, where's Sean? Yibo asked as he walked to stand beside me.

Inside...

"Are you okay?" he asks, sounding worried.

You know Sean and his outlandish ideas? He said he could bring a few people to dad's birthday party as a blood bank, and they would be compensated. I warned him that he wouldn't like it, but he said he'd come by the house tomorrow to visit Dad.

Yibo's Pov.

Sean's always been crazy. Let's go back inside. I told Lan, but he seemed reluctant.

Why don't we take a walk by the river?

Lan always walked by the river when he was troubled. Something he picked up from mom. I don't know what's bothering him, but we could talk about it later.

"Sure," I said, smiling at him. We were about to leave when Chaos walked up to us.

Hey pretty.

Don't call me pretty. I hissed at him.

But you are pretty. He smiled again. Lan was just staring at him.

We should leave. Lan said dryly and started walking away.

The river is dry at this time of year. Chaos told my brother.

That's not possible; the driver never dried up before. Lan growled.

Began two years ago. Chaos shrugged.

Then let's go home. There is definitely something wrong with Lan. Could it be that he lied to me about what he and Sean talked about? Lan would never tell me a lie, though.

Could you please give me a few minutes to talk to your brother? Chaos asked Lan.

Please stay away from my brother. Lan turned to face him.

Sorry, I can't do that. He grinned at Lan.

And why is that?

Because I like him. Chaos grinned shamelessly.

A hypocrite, I see. I heard you hate vampires, and now you like one of them. Lan chuckled.

Well, you can't blame me for hating blood-sucking demons, but I will make an exception because of him.
