Unknown world

Arriving at the front of the Phoenix mansion, Marcus and Thomas saw the three Countesses standing in front of three men in white, priests' clothes.

'Are you kidding me? They are back?' thought Marcus when he saw Zanderiel and his crew.

"Marcus, Thomas, go and help our daughters with packing. We are leaving" ordered Elizabeth without looking back.

The two nodded and left in a cloud of black smoke.

"You are leaving? Oh, that's a shame. Azmel, be a good boy and go and help them!" said Zanderiel with some cold amusement but when Azmel took a step towards the mansion, Celeste appeared in front of him.

With her eyes glowing blood-red, she said "Try it and you're dead, Dickhead."

Celeste cracked her neck and was ready to fight, but Elizabeth raised her hand in a stopping sign, "Zanderiel tells me, what a corpse like you want here?"

Zanderiel started laughing "Corpse? Said a vampire whore who is already two thousand years dead~"

Elizabeth's eyes started glowing blood-red and when she wanted to say something, she was cut off by Zanderiel.

"But, we didn't come here for you yet so I apologize for my behavior. We just want that new male vampire you three are protecting. Our boss found him interesting."

"What was his name again? Chrisdick I think? Ugh, whatever... I don't have a memory for names.~"

Before Zanderiel could say more, Elizabeth punched him in the face and sent him flying.

Seeing this, Azmel wanted to kick her but before his foot could touch her face, his leg stopped in the air.

"What is this shit?" he said with anger visible in his voice as he looked to the right and saw Celeste with a bloodthirsty smile.

"What? Surprised?" she smiled like a psycho.

But, he couldn't even answer before he was sent flying like Zanderiel.

Suddenly feeling extremely hot temperature, Etalon looked to his left and saw Isobel, enveloped in orange flames.

She tried to punch him, but he managed to dodge with his speed and disappear in a bolt of purple lighting that fell from the sky.

*Tsk, Isobel clicked her tongue and flew towards him like a rocket when he reappeared near Zanderiel's and Azmel's bodies.

"Oh Fuck," was all he could say, before the right part of his face started burning from Isobel's punch.

He kneeled on the ground and disappeared in another bolt of purple lightning as Isobel flew back to her friends.

[... Meanwhile in Isobel's bedroom ...]

Anna, Henrietta, Rose, Vicki, and Claudia were running through Phoenix's residence's corridors and rooms, collecting everything useful they wanted to bring with them back to their true home.

When they collected a few things, they packed them into their suitcases and brought them back to Isobel's bedroom, placing them on the ground.

Suddenly, in the middle of the room appeared a cloud of black smoke.

Amanda, who was protecting a slowly dying Lorie, prepared herself to fight but sighed in relief when the cloud revealed Thomas.

"Oh, it's you," she said, slowly wanting to sit down on a nearby chair, but seeing someone behind him, she screamed, "Behind you!"

Amanda quickly put her left foot on the chair and bounced off it towards Thomas, who just crouched down with a wide smile on his face.

"Ugh, what happened?" was heard and Amanda looked up at the person she landed on.

Seeing Marcus' smiling face, she started punching him weakly in his chest while shouting the words "Idiot, Idiot, IDIOT!"

Marcus hugged her and placed his left hand on her head "Calm down Amanda."

She took a few deep breaths and when she calmed down, Marcus placed his left hand behind her back and his right under her legs, picking her up like a princess.

Amanda blushed a little and hid her face in Marcus' chest, who had a big smile plastered on his face.

Seeing this, Thomas just smiled and winked at him as if everything went according to his plan.

Suddenly, Rose's voice was heard from the doorway, "What is happening here?"

Amanda opened her eyes wide and jumped from Marcus' arms, saying "Nothing Lady Rose!"

"Where have you two been?" was heard and this time, Anna appeared in the doorway.

Marcus wanted to say something, but Thomas was faster "We took a break from this Madness!"

Anna looked at Marcus who nodded so she let it be. It was not the first time since this happened numerous times already.

"Anyways, we are coming back, so Marcus and Thomas, bring these suitcases to my family mansion."

Claudia said as her head appeared between Rose and Anna and Rose pointed to the big pile of suitcases placed right next to Isobel's bed.

On the bed was Lorie with her eyes closed.

Thomas turned as his gaze fell on her, turning a little lifeless.

Seeing her like this hurt him a lot as he asked "What happened?"

"An ambush. One soldier fired six bullets into her body. The bullets were containing a werewolf poison." replayed Rose as a blood tear fell from Thomas' right eye. It was obvious that when Marcus chose Amanda, Thomas chose Lorie but was too scared of rejection that he rather stay quiet. Only Marcus knew about his feelings and promised to never tell anyone like a good buddy.

Marcus, who was behind him, placed his right hand on Thomas' shoulder while Amanda spoke "Don't worry, we gave her an antidote and she's going to be fine."

"Yeah, I know, but still... it hurts to see her like this" replayed Thomas and picked up a few suitcases from the ground.

"Where is the soldier?" asked Thomas with glowing blood-red eyes.

Anna took a step forward, "He was turned to ashes by Lord Christopher."

Thomas' eyes turned normal again as he nodded and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.

Marcus sighed as he picked up a few suitcases too and disappeared like his friend.

Everything went quiet, until "Haah men, they might be sometimes stupid but we still love them" said Amanda as the irises in her eyes shaped into two pink glowing hearts.

Rose suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"By the way, did anyone see my Darling?"

[... The attic ...]

Christopher who was lying on the ground opened his eyes and slowly looked around.

"Gosh, what is this place?" he mumbled as he got up from the ground.

Suddenly, a black silhouette appeared in front of him, saying "I'm disappointed AGAIN! Didn't I teach you how to fight and defend yourself Christopher?"

"Ardelean? What is happening?" said Christopher as the silhouette in front of him turned and revealed its purple-glowing eyes.

Ardelean took a step towards Christopher and disappeared.

Christopher, who narrowed his eyes suddenly felt an incredible pain on the left side of his face as his body was sent flying towards a nearby wall.

Crashing against the wall, Christopher turned at Ardelean, and with blood dripping from his mouth, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Without answering, Ardelean disappeared again and reappeared in front of Christopher.

Before he could do anything, Ardelean grabbed his neck and smashed him against the ground.

Christopher, a little shocked teleported himself to the door but Ardelean appeared behind him and kicked him to his back, sending him flying through the door.

Christopher fell from the spiral stairs that led to the attic and landed on the ground of the second-floor corridor.

Before Christopher got time to stand up, Ardelean appeared, grabbed his head, and smashed it against the near wall.

Christopher's face was painted with his blood as he turned, wanting to punch Ardelean, but Christopher's hand just passed through his head.

Feeling his hand got stuck in Ardelean's head, he wanted to pull it out, but Ardelean opened his mouth wide and bit Christopher's hand, biting it off.

Without his right hand, Christopher fell to the ground, where Ardelean kicked him in the face and sent him flying through the wall.

After a few seconds, Christopher's body landed in the garden where he was previously dancing with Vicki.

Using his left hand, he wanted to get up, but Ardelean appeared again and grabbed him by his neck, lifting him into the air.

Ardelean formed a blade in his left hand and pierced Christopher's right shoulder with it.

Suddenly, a feeling of rage-filled Christopher's entire body as his voice came out like a demon's shout.

"ENOUGH!" heard Ardelean as a wave of red, unknown energy exploded from Christopher's body and sent Ardelean a few meters behind.

Christopher landed on his left knee and right foot, while his fists were buried in the ground. His left hand healed.

His handsome face, right hand, and shoulder were completely healed too and his eyes were fully black with red glowing irises.

"Finally~," said Ardelean and appeared in front of Christopher.

Christopher got up too, but looking at the sky that had now two suns and was clear but with green tones, he paused.

One sun was glowing yellow while the other was red.

"What was that all about?" asked Christopher.

"I just wanted to know how long it takes for you to snap" replayed Ardelean.

"What is this place?" he asked but was a little shocked by Ardelean's response.

"This is my home, and yours too from now on, until you master your powers properly."
