Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 30: Mom? Dad?
“Your parents?” Silas asked for clarification. “Yes! I have a picture of my mom when she was younger. I kept it in my wallet,” Jet hurriedly said and took out a polaroid photo with her mom on it and handed it to Silas. They immediately placed it side by side with the picture in the album. Jet might be right. Those two pictures are really identical despite the difference in posture and clothes. Saint nudged his elbow on Raze’s, silently asking for a reference picture just like what Jet did. “I only saw my dad in pictures Mom has shown me,” Raze quietly responded, lowering his head down. The six of them exchanged glares, asking with their eyes what is the most appropriate word to reply. “Don’t worry about me, I’m used to it. Let’s solve this mystery right away. We still have to eat. Faster than a lightning, Raze’s weary voice shifted to an energetic, curious one. He also sneaked in between Hail and Silas. “Why are they with the vampires? Don’t tell me they are…”“Vampires? I don’t t

In a secret room located at the Chairman’s office, Sun was deliberately scanning the contents of the opened barrier the royal vampires handed. It is indeed, the lost Red Woods Royal Album dated before the worst war they encountered — The Human-Vampire War.The Royal Album consisted of pictures of the previous Kings and Queens from different regions of Red Woods. Images of the greatest warriors and hunters and life in the whole community are also included in the compilation. “The truth is slowly unveiling itself,” Sun whispered as he browsed through the pictures where Jet’s Mom and Raze’s Dad are completely shown up. Eliana Riziel. Chief Commander for Archery, Cerise, Red WoodsHarvard Deviosa. Master Hunter, Red WoodsThese are the parents of the new royals who happened to be prominent people of Red Woods. Before Sun could indulge himself with theories that lead up to where they are now, he flipped to the next page where he is welcomed by photographs with notes scribbled below them.
Red: Orphans and Royalties Prologue
"I announce you as the Red's new prince---" Jet shattered the crown presented in front of him. He is in a crowning ceremony, standing in front of a crowd as a new royalty. Everybody is watching, waiting for his coronation to finally complete the royal family. Jet can't remember how he got there and the reason he became a prince. "I'm not a damn prince and I will never be a prince! I won't be a part of a family of murderers!" he shouted. Gasps filled the place and murmurs started to get louder. "But you are already a part of it. You can't do anything but to accept and live with it," the king whispered. Jet sighed in disbelief, never in his life he thought of engaging to a merciless family. "Get me out of this hell!" he screamed. The guards held his both arm
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 1: The Invitation
"I'm too lazy to do this job. Never in my life I thought of going on an undiscovered, remote forest," Raze protested. He's now inside the van with Jet, his co-worker, whose eyes are fixed on the road. "Me too, Raze. I don't know what's gotten into them to have us do the inspection. There are too many vacant workers in the office. I'm still working on the goldmine issue," he agreed. Jet and Raze are one of ENVO's best workers. As environmentalists, protecting and preserving the nature and the world is their major goal. Today, they are tasked by their office president to inspect a forest, miles away from civilization. According to Mr. Light, their president, that forest is a mysterious one. No one knows what lies inside it. Rumors about missing researchers in the said a

"Those are only for kids, Jet. Don't tell me you're taking it seriously?" Raze is annoyed by his partner's actions. Jet is examining the paper thoroughly and placed it inside his backpack. They are not kids anymore to play with random strangers."I think it's true, Raze. A rare, clever bird won't just pick a random thing and give it to us. Look at the handwriting, it's neat as if it's written by an adult," Jet explained. He has a great feeling that they are not alone here in the vast area."That's ridiculous. You read so much fantasy novels. Pull yourself together. I really want to go back right now""I'm serious. We'll attend the party and see what's really going on in this place. You'll come back here with me."
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 3: Worry
"Where have you been?" Hail asked as soon as he opened the door. Magnus, Saint, and Silas greeted him with a smile. Hail is wearing an apron, he just finished cooking their lunch. "In the middle of the woods," Saint replied. He took a pitcher of water from the fridge and handed it to the other two. Tension built up which made Saint uncomfortable. Hail gave a questioning look to the three of them. He knows something isn't right. They might've seen something wrong. "We encountered strange humans there," Silas started. After drinking his water, he sat at the table's chair. He told Hail everything that happened earlier. From the letters to their frustrating conversation, everything is detailed. "How did they know this place? I

Dawn is about to come to an end when Jet woke up. He immediately stood up, finding himself above the hay which was used as a bed. How did he fell asleep? As he can remember, he's finding someone last night. His memory stopped when he's at the doorstep. He took a glance at the table where Raze slept yesternight; he's not there. Like a flash, he immediately stood up to find his missing partner. "Raze? Raze!" Jet screamed. His head turns left and right, hoping to see Raze. Unfortunately, after some calls, only silence answered him. "Shit, how did I fell asleep?" he asked himself. Jet searched for his partner around the hut but he saw none. He's getting nervous and scared. This place is so spacious and they're not secured from any harm in the environment. He's on the verge of breaking down when he heard a snore
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 5: Concerns
"Should we go with the same way?" Raze asked. They already stared their journey in finding the exit. If they need to try all the ways and walk all the paths to leave this forest, they'll definitely do it."Let's try every way possible. We need to come back alive, Raze. We stayed here for two days and one night but I'm tired of this place already," Jet replied. He won't let to have the same fate other researchers met in this place. They should come out alive and breathing."Me too. I'd rather stay in the office for the whole time than to examine places like this." Raze responded, almost giving a pout. The whole presence of the place is weird enough to scare them. It doesn't feel as free as normal forests. They feel like their life is on line. Working in the office is a lot safer since they have a lot of people to

“I won’t be staying here for long. ENVO needs me, especially since these guys left the Boracay mission,” Light said after eating the last slice of his steak. “I missed it already,” Saint whispered. He wished they had more time to fully enjoy the beach. His eyes were sparkling at the jetski! “You can come back when everything’s fine here at Red Woods,” Light assured them. Saint’s fading hope was recharged. They don’t know that exact date but he looks forward to seeing a beach again. “I guess we will also go home, Sun. Thank you for the dinner.” Light carefully stood up and had fist bump with his twin. If it is not with their different clothes, they are like a living mirror. “See you tomorrow, kiddos!” The seven of them waved goodbyes on their chairs as Sun walked Light out of the ministry. After the door closes, the Reds are surrounded with quietness. No one dared to start a conversation. Or no one knows how to do it. “I think I heard you talking earlier, Hail,” Jet spoke. “Your

In no time, the Reds are on the helicopter sent by ENVO. Panic consumes the empty space between them. It’s been five minutes since they got on the vehicle yet for them, it feels like an hour has already passed. “We’ll travel faster in our form,” Magnus muttered. He badly wants to go to Red Woods. Unfortunately, he can’t right now. “Go on, transform and freak everyone out.”“Our home is in danger, Jet,” Silas whispered, his breath almost burning Jet’s ear. He can feel the collision of concern, impatience, and madness from that. “I know, I heard it myself. But please calm down, Silas. You cannot jump off from this helicopter. We’ll get there within this day,” Jet assured and pushed Silas’ head gently away from him. He looked for Hail and Claude who were suspiciously quiet since they got in the vehicle. Both of them have their eyes closed, but not sleeping. Maybe it’s their way of dealing with stress, Jet thought. Magnus and Saint are both looking at the clouds, counting how many sec

“Raze!” Saint shouted when he spotted Raze’s back. He ran faster than he knew to reach his brother as quickly as possible. Saint gasped for air when he saw Raze holding up a person in the air, choking him with his tensed hands. “Put me down, you monster!” The old man screamed. He keeps on fighting Raze’s tight grip on his neck. The man is in his 60’s, wearing a dark green long sleeve and a parachute pants. His slippers are on the leaves as his bare feet are hung up in the air. Saint saw how Raze’s eyes glowed brighter. “You must pay the consequences of your action. And no, I won’t let you go until you are captured and put to jail,” Raze emphasized. Is he the one who put the trees on fire? The man’s angry yet desperate cry brought back Saint in reality. He grabbed Raze’s wrist, “You’re choking him to death, Raze. Let him go!” he shouted. “No! He’s the one who burned the trees. He should be accountable for his crime!” Raze insisted. Saint has no other choice but to use his stren
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 26: Burnt
The Reds can't really say, "expect the unexpected". This is their main reason for coming here at Boracay: to check up on the abuses this place gets and find the culprit. But they didn't expect that they would do it as early as now on this unsuspected night."There it is. I'm pretty sure there is a fire going on," Hail pointed out the glowing mountain top. The fire seems to be a bit bigger than the first time they saw it.All of them ran quickly inside after realizing what's happening. "Bring your flashlights and any weapons you can use. This is our first mission together. The culprit must be held accountable tonight," Jet instructed them. The seven of them shoved their items in their backpacks. In addition, they brought a few liters of water, in hopes that they could cease the fire before it spreads."Let's go," Magnus said.--They all walked as briskly as they could under the bright moonlight. With flashlights on their hands, the Reds stopped after reaching the foot of the mountain.
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 25: Boracay Night
Beach and summer are one of the best pairs in the world. There is nothing more exciting than to surround yourself in the saltwater while searching for authentic sea shells or riding on the waves. That will be the perfect time to let the waves take away your stress, fears, and worries. After managing all their things, the Reds, led by Jet and Raze, walked along Boracay’s seashore. There are a lot of people with different nationalities having fun in the crystal clear water. They finished setting up during the sunset when people are already coming out of the water and tidying up in the cottages, preparing to leave. Although given the chance, the Reds refused to submerge themselves in the water, putting the ENVO mission as their priority. A wave in the toes was just fine and enough.“Can’t sleep, too?” Jet asked, his hands buried in the pocket of his pants. He is wearing a jacket and thick pants to protect himself in the cold. Magnus looked up to him and then back to the fine sand. Mag

“So that’s your condition? To not use any of our vampire skills while in your house? That should be fine,” Hail shrugged and focused on the crème brûlée he is eating. He already ate two of them but he can’t just get enough of them. These custards are out of the world, so he thought of learning how to cook them. “That’s great then. As much as possible, do not attract people with your weird actions that only vampires can understand,” Jet said. Humans in the vampire world are weird but vampires in the human world are even weirder and more dangerous. Jet and Raze could not have full control over their brothers’ brain; that's why warning them is the best way they can do for now. Little did they know, a lot of vampires have already been living in the human world for a couple of years, adapted to the environment, and are now living like normal people. “We’ll try our best,” Claude assured them. That night, Magnus, Saint, and Claude slept in the Eleazar’s guest room while Hail and Silas sl

“Get out of my room will you?!” Jet’s face is as red as a tomato. The four of them are in the living room while Jet’s mother went to the grocery store. Jet’s 72-inch television was on but instead of watching a movie, Magnus and Claude are playing Jet’s Xbox while Saint is quietly scanning the magazines on the small, round table. “Hey! I never yelled at you like that when you at Red Woods!” Magnus screamed back. Claude is having a good time because he is three punches away to defeat Magnus. “I don’t care! You know I hate it when someone touches my belongings without my permission!”“We’re already brothers so it’s normal. Don’t act like a kid, Jet. We’re having fun with this…Xbox?” Claude read the big letters printed on the box. When they said they were brothers, that means them being comfortable in using each other’s belongings as long as they don’t ruin it. A thing that Jet hates so much.“Don’t touch that!” No response. Jet turned his back from the playing brothers and grabbed some
