Hendery had reached the coordinates Taemin sent him, and he knew he was going to die. He knew it, because he was already too drained. That search for Lucas had already drained almost all of his energy for the teleportation to that toilet stall which he hasn't seen before, and the emotional drop was also deadly to his energy.



Plus that brute attack still left scars, and no matter how quickly he healed they still hurt. Hendery directly walked into the empty and abandoned manor, and he didn't care about his life. He knew he wasn't going to walk out. All he cared about was whether Dejun would get out alive.


"Taemin!" He yelled, and a low chuckle seemed to come from all around him. "My my, little prince. I didn't know you were actually bold enough to come alone." Hendery shrugged, keeping his facade up. "Why wouldn't I come alone? Not like an old vampire like you could do any damage." "Now now, we both know that isn't true. I've gotten you a little cage, so do be a nice little vampire prince and get into it like a good doggie.."


Hendery hissed, his pride at risk. "Now, if you want to see Dejun safe and unharmed, you will get into the cage, won't you." Hendery had no choice but to obey, and crawl into the cage, the door slamming shut once he was in it.


"Doesn't feel good, does it, being humiliated." a light shone over, a camera pointing over at Hendery. The prince didn't even care about the fact that he was being recorded, if it was the old him, he would've been furious and tried to defend his pride, but he just sat inside, squashed, because he needed to see Dejun.



"You're being broadcasted live in the royal's meeting. Say hello to the camera, prince Hendery." Hendery raised his head, glancing into the camera. He knew who was watching, his parents, his grandfather and all the other members on the council, werewolves, vampires, and even humans.


Taeyong stared in horror as the silver caged burned Hendery's skin, but the prince didn't even flinch. "HENDERY!" Jaehyun screamed, glaring at the projector. "WHERE IS THIS BROADCASTING FROM?" Lucas burst into the room, panting, until he froze as he saw the screen. "I came to tell you to trace Hendery, NOW!" Lucas yelled, screaming at Baekhyun.



The King immediately turned on his computer. "They're at the side of the country, it'll take 2 hours to get from here to there at top speed and-" Taeyong was shaking, and Jaehyun was gripping his hand tightly. 



"Now now, no need to rush." Taemin's voice came in from the mic, and everyone stiffened. "Hendery just wants to save his boyfriend, so I present to you, Xiao Dejun."


The room lit up, and Dejun was sitting there, blood trailing down his neck, but otherwise he was fine. "Now, Hendery, I want you to sit down properly, so let's get you out of that cage." 



Taemin dragged out a wooden chair, and Baekhyun stiffened, while Taeyong gasped in relief. "He can't hurt him with more silver if it's a wooden chair-" Jaehyun had also frozen, as he knew the way that royals tortured other vampires. Hendery was pulled out of the cage, and although he knew what was coming to him, he made no move to resist. 



Taemin made him sit on the chair, and then took out long, rusted silver nails, and started hammering them into Hendery's hands, nailing him to the chair. Hendery's eyes grew bloodshot, and they started flickering between red and brown, clenching his jaw as he did his best to not scream.


"WE HAVE TO GO GET HIM-" Baekhyun seemed to spring back to life, and grabbed the computer which was playing the livestream of Hendery being tortured, and ran towards the vans in the garage, going to save his grandson. Lucas forced himself to move, gritting his teeth as he blamed himself. If he didn't try to leave, none of this would've happened. Hendery wouldn't be tortured right in front of him, and he'd be able to do something.


Xiaojun was watching this, and crying, begging for Hendery to resist, but the fierce warrior inside him was gone, it was like the monster never existed.


Taemin sat down, pulling out his laptop. "Meet my little friend, you see. Baekhyun invented a machine with me last month, SMJYPYG. Its used for torture, and it's quite protective of it's master, you know." Baekhyun stiffened even more, knowing exactly what the machine was capable of.


Needles appeared from the machine, each of them positioned at the weakest spots in the human body, and at Taemin's command, they began to drill into Hendery skin, making him start screaming. "STOP!" Dejun yelled, his tears spilling out. 


"PLEASE, TAEMIN, ANYTHING, JUST STOP-" The vampire didn't even glance at him. "He promised me his life in order to save yours, you know that?" Taemin smiled, and it wasn't a nice smile.


"And actually, change of plan. I will let you live, but I'll turn you into a vampire and force you to live with the pain of knowing he died for you." Taemin's fangs snapped out, and Hendery's eyes turned red, and he threw himself up, smashing the needles near him with his wooden chair, then pulled his hands straight out, the nails still embedded in them, and charged at Taemin.
