(Recap)
"I don't understand... Why. Why would my mother just do this? She knew how much I loved her." His eyes were wide. As he was hit with sudden realization. "It makes sense... S-she saw that Viola fell for another man. My mother thought we were destined for each other. Which is why she grew obsessed with the thought of us together. She basically raised her, but she wouldn't go as far as to have her murderered..."
"Unless someone else bribed her to do it..." I finished off.

"Jin's friend. The one you mentioned in your story. How does it explain that he was alive before. But from what I've seen and heard, he was new to this world. Barely turned?"
"I don't know. But I know someone in that sanctuary had something to do with what happened centuries ago. Jin is my number one suspicion, and so is Jimin." Alaric nodded in agreement and sat down on one of the broken tree stumps.
"So why did you really call out for me? Must be serious business to out yourself that way. Not knowing if I'd try to kill you."
"It's Cecile." He sat up straighter at the mention of her name. "She's fallen ill. I fear she may be poisoned. Her body rejected any of the blood we've tried to give her. I need your help. He and I need your help." Alaric's eyes were now focused on Hoseok.
"You're her brother? I thought you were dead. But. What will I receive, if I help you?"
"Answers. To put your mind at peace on who really killed Viola. And to kill whoever did it, and I will be the one to help you do so." He grinned in satisfaction.
"That's all I've ever wanted. We have a deal. Now if you break it, I won't hesitate to kill Cecile myself." I laughed inside my head, knowing he was bluffing.
"Alright but wait. She's at the sanctuary. If Jin sees you there, all hell will let loose. And he won't let you near her."
"Trust me. He won't know I'm there, there was plenty times I watched him, and he didn't bat an eye. Lead me there, I'll find my way in." I nodded, while Hobi and I along with Alaric made our way back.

I hummed and slowly stepped down the dim hallways, and with each step lead to my destination. I placed my ear closely to the door and heard jungkook and taehyung were still in there. I felt a presence behind me and I turned my head to the side.
