Things happened too fast for the shocked Art. Lyle helped him get back in the car while he was calling someone on his phone. They waited for only a few minutes until the twins and the authorities arrived to deal with the crime scene. Art watched them talk outside with serious expressions.A while later, Lyle walked to his car and opened the door to the driver's seat where he was. Art looked up to him as the vampire studied his pale face."You okay? Can you drive home?" he asked.Art nodded but when he raised his hands to hold the steering wheel, Lyle noticed his fingers still trembling. Gritting his teeth, he pushed him slightly, pointing at the passenger's seat."Move. I'll drive you home." Art did not budge and only stared at him. "Hurry up.""I can drive. I just need a moment," Art said, still stubbornly holding onto his seat.Lyle clicked his tongue, feeling impatient. "You don't have a moment. This place is not safe until we catch whoever did that t

"Eyes on the road."Face heating up in embarrassment, Art focused his eyes on the road and clumsily changed the topic."Where are we going?" His tone was unnatural, and he scolded himself inside upon hearing it.Lyle did not seem to mind much, though, as he indifferently answered his question, "No specific destination. Just follow the main road. It will lead us back to the city.""Are you lowkey sabotaging my assignment?" Art asked suspiciously. Having no specific destination means leaving it to fate whether he could stumble upon an interesting story that is useful enough, or something insignificant that no one was going to waste time reading. Afterwards, another matter came to mind. "How did you know I was going out at this time and day, anyway?"It was Lyle's turn to feel a rush of embarrassment, but the guy beside him did not seem to feel any of it. So he quickly got over it and extinguished his internal turmoil, matching it with the p

Art decided to "stroll around the city" during his free day like what Kelly had said. He hasn't gone back to the club yet for the past few days, and he hasn't seen any of his soon-to-be co-members as well. They did not give him a deadline, so he assumed maybe that meant finishing the task as soon as he could.It was also kind of beneficial to him since he was yet to explore the city ever since they arrived. He sent a message to his father about him going out that day, and even though he might not read it till much later, he wanted him to feel relieved that he wasn't holing himself up in his room again.He got in his father's car which he left for him to use. But once he was comfortably seated, he looked out when he realized he had not thought of anywhere to go yet.A breath got hitched in his throat in surprise when he saw someone standing beside the car door. The person's white polo was blocking the window. The first thing Art thought of after his initial shock

Completely weirded out and perplexed at the new side of Lyle that Rey was seeing for the first time, he decided to just shrug it off and get to business. He was climbing up the stairs and heard the group still talking.The engrossed people upstairs were not aware that the little club's leader had already left through the balcony, especially Art who didn't even know there was someone else with them. Maria was first to get over how fast this new member they were recruiting at picking up things. She felt that it would not be long till one of the dusty lockers was used again. She said, with a rare grin on her face, "That's also why even though our club only does records and— like how others would call it—menial tasks, we are still one of the most strict when it comes to welcoming new members.""Do I have a tryout?" Art asked plainly, not intrigued at all."Yes. It's actually really easy," Kelly replied. "Got to be a piece of cake for you. We'll only have trouble wi

From very early on, when events were still not recorded in any way and only stories were passed on, it was said that humans and vampires have already coexisted for a long time. It was due to greed that the war started, almost wiping out both species. When the alliance and the vampire aristocrats signed the treaty, it was only then that peace began to reign over the world again. However, because of the hostility and grievances that grew over the course of the war, it was inevitable that there will still be those who harbor ill intentions and desire revenge. The government alliance and the aristocrats needed a way to assure their people. This was when a clause was added to the treaty. Double plus vampires are the aristocrats. They just wanted to idly enjoy their lives in the dark. They play a game to know which vampire will be on duty for a hundred years to ensure that the vampires are doing their part and not doing what isn't their part. Single plus vampires are t

Art's first day at his new university went smoother than expected, considering his chaotic experience the other night. He could successfully navigate his way in the university, knowing where to turn and when not to show up in specific places, unlike one of the few humans who was with him during the orientation. That guy just moved into the dorms. Art already heard some gossip about him being specifically targeted by the athletic vampires in the field that morning while he was doing his morning jog. He apparently foolishly agreed to race and obviously lost. The price was nothing harmful, and it was just like any consequence with your group of friends. He only had to do an embarrassing dance for the vampires' entertainment. Art initially thought it was childish, but maybe the ages of those vampires could still be considered young for their species. When he ventured into this train of thought, he was suddenly filled with questions and curiosity. His father worked fo

The sun had just risen in Selaphiel and the scene out the shores of Ho is bustling as usual.In contrast to the peaceful sound of lapping waves, the crowd is loud like always. Bargains and complaints are heard everywhere especially by the boats of the fishermen who had just arrived.However, the noise suddenly turned into silent murmurs when the neighs of a horse were heard from a distance.Approaching are blue-robed gentlemen in horseback which, in appearance, are unmistakably from a prominent clan.The young man leading is dressed formally, and one would immediately be able to tell he is of the Ho Clan, because of the crescent moon mark on his forehead.And he is not just any member at that, but is actually the young master of the main Ho family.The busy people continued their businesses in hushed tones, only pausing for a moment to bow and give respect whenever the wandering group would pass by their stalls.They are afraid not only because he is a direct descendant of the head of

"What?" Lucian uttered in shock before he could stop himself. He turned his head to watch Amaryah who didn't look surprised in the slightest."Isn't this a rib?" Lucian then brought back his gaze to Martin.Martin nodded his head and glanced at Apple who had pursed his lips, eyes reddening a little. He was looking down, a bit dazed from a memory he would rather forget."It was a monster. It attacked us, and if it wasn't for the horses that had panicked before it could lunge at us, it could have probably hit my heart." Martin sighed shakily.Lucian looked at him with unbelieving eyes.Martin smiled at him and continued, "I know it must be difficult to believe because I am alive and in good health in front of you right now, but this is true. Apple and I had escaped while it was devouring our horses, but it still tailed us."He inhaled deeply before looking away as he recalled the terrifying events, then he tightly shut his eyes for a few seconds before looking straight at Amaryah."This

"This… that... this is… lady…"Martin was too shocked to speak properly, uttering only a bunch of "this, that" and "lady" for half a day. Lucian was grateful for his lack of poise and he was able to prevent him from accidentally slipping Amaryah's name.Although these kids may not recognize Amaryah's face, they still know her name and grew up hearing stories about her. Because of the big scandal, Amaryah's name spread far and wide in Selaphiel. Her reputation could be said to give mixed feelings to the people.As a young girl raised in the Sachiel Shores, she was known as the prim and proper young lady of the Sachiels who was admired by their people and especially of the merchants. She was an elegant fighter and practitioner and got along well with her peers and elders due to her bright personality. Very unlike the other young ladies her age who were either too timid or too proud. Of course, it also was not a secret that there was one person

After having a closer look, everyone finally saw the stranger's face properly. He looked no more than twenty, probably about their little kids' ages. His features were plain, something common that was easily forgettable, and his complexion, which was shades darker than theirs, turned pale and wan. Being surrounded by a number of elites and nobles was certainly not a great experience — at least, presently, it was not."My name is Apple! I'm an apprentice merchant traveling with my master! We are currently trading some goods at the village near here!" he explained in one breath, making him pant a little after he finished speaking.The nobles looked at each other while the Yarons, who were tensed only seconds ago, gradually sensed that he was not someone dangerous and were naturally relieved. Lucian and Amaryah also met each other's eyes.Apple seemed to feel that most of them were still suspicious of him, so he continued to speak his thoughts."I have

Amaryah had already admitted her true identity to Lucian, but the latter was not very surprised. He was more than sure in his heart from the first time they met again. However, Amaryah's revelations left him feeling complicated. What's worse, they were not able to continue discussing because a little noble interrupted them.With a trembling voice, he reported that a fight might break out between the group of nobles and the Yarons if they were late at preventing it. The noble was wearing a purple robe, as they left the Mist Mountains and it was not necessary for them to wear the Yaron uniform. Amaryah immediately recognized his purple outfit and the lilies embroidered at the hems of his clothes.Both Amaryah and Lucian followed calmly, but because of their previous topic, they wore serious expressions which rooted the nobles and the Yarons in place upon seeing their arriving figures. The two groups glanced at the Lord's and Lady's backs where a shivering shadow hid.

"Are you implying that one of them might be led to the same tragic fate as me because of this?"Lucian repeated her words in his mind over and over. He thought that he had heard wrong, but when he saw Amaryah's unwavering gaze at him, he figured that he must have not."No, Amaryah," he replied with a hoarse voice. "In any case, the Yarons are timid and would quarrel with the nobles verbally at most. It would make the little nobles feel high and mighty, but you challenged everyone back then into a duel and pummeled them to the ground."Behind Amaryah, the very still and quiet Gana flinched upon hearing his Lord Lucian's words, making him notice her figure. Afterwards, Lucian nodded at her."Go clean the lady's room so she can rest," he ordered.Amaryah followed Gana's back with her gaze. Lucian thought that Amaryah was suspicious of the maidservant possibly telling someone about what she heard. He said again, "That young servant is loyal and tight-l
