Another, Enemy.

“Where should I bring you? To the Institution? Do they have a cure?”

I said in a panic because he didn't look good anymore. He shook his head as a response that got me confused.

“What do you mean?”

I looked at him for a moment and turned to face to the road again since I’m driving.

"I.... have cure...just find a place ... some...where"

He said weakly and then suddenly threw up..

With my right hand, I took the tissue and wiped his mouth and clothes, leaving my left hand on the wheel.

"Chase you stay with me okay??"

I grabbed his hand and squeezed it.

"I won't die", he assured.

I smiled and put my right hand back on the steering wheel. I sped up the car even though I'm not good at it because I don't have any more time to waste. I carefully looked at the road because I knew there was a nearby motel in Madforest and I was not wrong because in the distance I saw a Motel sign.

When we entered the room, I immediately laid Chase on the bed and then placed the box next to him that he said contained cures. I opened it and there were small bottles with liquid inside and there was also a syringe.

"Chase alin dito yung cure na sinasabi mo?"

He pointed to the bottle at the end. I took it and transferred it to the syringe. I couldn't see the whole wound because of the clothes so I had to remove it. I helped him take off his clothes and there I saw the infection spreading in his body.

I took a deep breath and carefully injected the syringe near his wound. I looked at him but he has no response and his eyes were closed.

I watched him for a few hours. When I noticed that the black wound surrounding the area where he had been bitten was slowly disappearing, I felt relieved. He's starting to look better, so I went to the bathroom to check myself. I was about to open the faucet but I stopped when I saw how wrecked I was. I have a lot of scratches and wounds and only now I could feel how painful it was because I was too focused on Chase.

Since I didn't have anything to treat myself so I just cleaned up and went back to watching over Chase.

“Celine”

“Celine”

I woke up because of a voice calling me and there I saw Chase trying to get up so I immediately helped him.

“Where are we? Wait… Are you okay?”

He looked worried upon seeing my wounds and scratches but I slowly removed his grip on me and smiled.

“I’m fine, you should be worried about yourself. I thought you’ll die!”

“Let’s get you treated”

He didn't even pay attention to what I said instead he tried to get up but he couldn't because he was still a little weak. When he was finally regaining his strength, he insisted that we go home. He treated me in the car before he took me home, luckily Clark wasn't there yet.

–

I talked to Aunt Anna today and I told her about the information I gathered, particularly the one about the Royal Realm. I asked her for help but the result of our conversation did not end well because she did not want me to have any connection with the Royal Realm. She kept saying that it wouldn't help my mom's case but I don’t believe her so I called Stefan and told him to meet me at Da D's.

On the way there, I ran into Stefan, so the two of us headed to Da D's together. However, there was nobody outside when we arrived, which was unusual. I entered first because Stefan was still using his phone.

"Bloody hell"

I was frozen to my feet upon seeing what is inside. I blinked twicemaking sure this isnt a dream. The restaurant was covered with blood and dead bodies. Everything is a mess here.

"Opps, the owner is back"

I looked at the blonde-haired woman who was sitting on the side while drinking from the cup she was holding then when a red liquid dripped from her lips she gently wiped it away. I also noticed the woman next to him who was unconscious and had a cut on her wrist.

"What do you mean he's back? We killed him already?"

Said the black-haired woman who was standing near the cashier and continued sucking the blood from the neck of the man she was holding.

Who the hell are these vampires?

"Then who is she?"

The blonde-haired woman raised an eyebrow at me. The woman at the cashier also stopped what she was doing. She removed her fangs from the unconscious man's neck and the traces of blood spread from his mouth. She looked at me and her stare gives me shivers down my spine.

"another meal"

I swallowed what she said and she quickly went in front of me. I immediately grabbed the gun hidden at the back of my pants.

"Stefan?"

We both stopped and the black haired woman's expression changed and she took a step back.

"JK sisters"

Stefan said calmly.
