John's eyes traveled around as he looked at the interior of the small house. It was made of wood, filled with plants in small pots or even in vines, climbing up the walls. He could smell flowers and herbs while the whistling of a kettle echoed from a room away from them. The one they were in seemed like a working space of some sort. It had a tall square table which had yellowish papers thrown here and there, marked with black ink, peculiar drawings and a language John could not recognize. Two big stools stood on opposite sides of the table and the little space that hadn't been covered by plants in the walls had cupboards drilled in it with glass doors. Bottles of all shapes with colorful liquids and powders stood inside, little fade out labels, wrapped around the lids with string. The whole place reminded him of those little houses described in fairytales. It was truly what someone would think as a witch's house.

"Akai, you want to help us." Lun said with a confident smile and the young wolf focused on the woman. She sat elegantly on one of the stools, crossing her long legs and she pushed back her long and curly black hair only to give Lun a devilish smile, enhanced by her dark red lipstick. Her eyes were an icy blue color that did not resemble that of a human's, while her skin was dark with tattoos covering her arms. She was wearing a yellow dress that reached the floor, her shoulders exposed and the young man blushed, as if looking at her for too long was bad.

"Do I?" she asked as she pulled her tea cup towards her. Her nails were painted a deep green color. "It's not that I don't want to, to be honest. It's just that I don't know how it would benefit me in any way."

"Why wouldn't it? We are talking about the third son of the Avger Monarchy." Lun said and she laughed, filling the room with a melodic sound. Lun moved towards the other stool and sat down, meeting her eyes while he stood next to Mika even though he didn't want to. On the other side he was too scared to actually stand on his own somewhere in the room.

"Is that true? Your little vampire friend is a fugitive isn't he?" she asked him and Lun's eyes widened. Both Mika and John stared at the woman with a questioning look. John had never heard anything like that all he knew was that his boss had voluntarily chosen to leave his home. Was his family after him for some reason?

"I wouldn't call him a fugitive." Lun said with a bright smile. "But even if he was, what does it matter? A prince is a prince even if some people are after him."

"Things do change though if some of the most powerful vampires in the world are after him don't you think? I believe some of them would be pleased if I let him die. You came to me and I thank you for that, I will be able to ask them for whatever I wish much easier now." Akai said and John noticed that Lun had grabbed a piece of paper, crumbling it with his hand. "Oh, be careful with that. It's a cake recipe." She teased him and the vampire clicked his tongue.

"Name what you want. Give us the antidote for Kai and promise to not reveal what you know about him and I will give you everything you want." Lun suggested. Akai was ready to speak when another voice was heard. All heads turned following the unknown sound.

"You're talking about Kai?" A man asked. It was obvious he wasn't a watch, he was a vampire, pale skin with a tall and lean figure, he had long white hair and his eyes were black, like a starless night. He stood at the entrance of the small office, his shoulder touching the door frame as he buttoned the ends of his sleeves from his silk shirt. He too was handsome, John thought and frowned. He was too average for a supernatural creature, he told himself.

"Soran? Is that you?" Lun asked and a friendlier smile appeared on his hostile face. He got off the stool and approached him as if he wanted to make sure he was right. "I knew you were friends with Akai but I didn't think you would be here." he said and the vampire nodded, a faint smile on his face.

"After I left Bloodbound I came here to live with her. I do not seem to like the vampires that live in the human world, they are too brutal." he said and Lun scoffed.

"Tell me about that. It has been a cultural shock indeed." he agreed with him.

"You were talking about Kai right? Is he okay?" he asked Lun while his eyes traveled to the two wolves. "Are they…"

"Yes they are werewolves and no, Kai is not well. Actually he will be dying very soon." Lun announced and Soran's eyes widened, a sudden sorrow suddenly glazing the deep black.

"You're not serious." he mumbled and moved towards the table. He stood there, his hand on the rough wood seeming lost as he heard the news. John examined his expression. The shock and the sadness in his eyes. A friend? That was highly debatable.

"Sadly I am. This guy's friend over there bit Kai." He said and Saron's head snapped. In the blink of an eye he was standing right in front of Mika, his hand on his neck, pushing him on the wall and showing his fangs.

"Get the hell off me." Mika said while choking. "Lun!" Mika called out but the vampire took his time, a devilish smile on his face as he watched Saron choke him.

"Come on Saron, enough. For the kid to be here it means he is not evil." Akai said and placed her palm on the vampire's shoulder. Saron let go of him, making the weak wolf land on the floor and John tended his hand to help him get up. Mika did not accept his help and the younger man rolled his eyes, dissatisfied with his behavior.

"I came here because I need Akai's help. I know she has the antidote. If she gives it to us we can save Kai." Lun said.

The two friends looked at each other and the woman sighed. She knew what he was going to tell her and in all honesty she didn't like it. Helping Kai was not the most profitable option but Saron already had stated with his eyes that he wouldn't accept no for an answer. She rubbed her temples and her eyes gazed at the cupboards behind Lun. She was searching for something, probably the antidote and when she found it she turned her attention once more towards Lun.

"Fine then. I will give it to you. For the right price of course. Such a rare item is expensive and…"

"And I will be the one that will take it to Kai." Saron said, interrupting Akai.

"You want to meet Kai?" The vampire asked, sounding concerned.

"Yes. I want to see him again. I promise I won't talk about seeing him to anyone nor will I inform them of his location. I know they are after him." The vampire said.

"And how do you know that?"

"I am the one that took him out of Bloodbound." The white haired vampire announced and once more Lun seemed to be shocked by what he heard. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, probably disappointed that Kai had trusted Saron and not him but he didn't say anything.

"Okay then. Since Kai seemed to trust you I will too. But if you try anything I will kill you. With no second thought."

"I believed you hated fighting" Soran said with a grin and Lun mimicked his expression.

"It will happen so fast you won't be able to call it a fight." The vampire boasted and his white haired friend chuckled.

"Sure, don't worry. Akai give it to them, please." Saron requested and the witch stood up. She walked towards the cupboards, opening the one right in the middle and her long fingers fetched the one on the left of the top shelf. It was a round bottle, short filled to the brim with a pitch black liquid. She checked to see if it was sealed well and moved towards her friend, slapping the bottle into his open palm. "Thanks" he mouth and she shook her head, waving at him to just get away.

"Soran will let you know of my bank account. Nowadays money transferring is so easy." She told them.

Lun parted his lips, ready to say his thanks too but the thick mist once more returned, starting to appear at the ground and then rising higher and higher until they couldn't see anything. They were back at the car, Soran with them this time.

The vampire checked the bottle and put it deep into his pant's pocket making sure it wouldn't escape while he moved. He looked at the car, noticing a missing door and he laughed.

"That looks dangerous."

"Well guess who will be sitting there." He said and Mika sighed.

"I already know. It won't be weird at all driving on the highway like this and no of course the police won't stop us." he mumbled as he put his seatbelt on.

"It's fine. Soran is good at mind manipulation." Lun said.

"Great" the grumpy redhead exclaimed.

"Before we go…" Lun said, stopping Soran from entering the back of the car. "Why did you want to see Kai so much?" he asked.

"Because I love him. I've always had." He revealed, leaving everyone speechless.
