A/N
Time to get into another chapter, peeples. Let's get it!!!



"Okay, let's get down to it shall we?" Wonwoo said with his usual dead smile. He ushered the two boys to sit down and proceeded to pour each of them a drink. A large one. He knew what he was about to say, may or may not, go down well.

"So, what's up?" Sehun asked, accepting the large whisky the elder had poured for him.

"We need to get start getting things moving," Wonwoo answered and handed Seungkwan his drink.

"Things?" Sehun asked, his heart filling with dread for what the elder was about to say.

"Culling the human population," he said bluntly and sat down in his chair to face them over his desk. "It's almost a new year, and I want a brand new start. For all of us."

"You were actually serious about that?" Seungkwan asked, his eyes huge in his face.

"You have a problem?" Wonwoo asked calmly, lifting his glass to his mouth and taking a painfully slow sip.

"No, of course not. They're just humans," he managed to say with a smile, his eyes darting from the elder to Sehun, trying and failing, to gauge his reaction. "It's just a massive project, that's all, and I wasn't sure you meant it."

"Oh, I meant it alright. I have witches working on finding a new location as we speak. I'm not so unintelligent as to believe these things can be done over night." He smiled over his glass as he swallowed. "But while they're doing that, I wanted to start with the cutting away the dead wood."

"Dead wood?" Seungkwan asked, leaning a little forward in his seat.

"He means killing what he doesn't need," Sehun clarified, his eyes flicked to the elder who nodded in answer. "The elderly, the sick. The dying."

"Uh-uhm," Seungkwan cleared his throat a little. "How do you plan on doing that?"

"It had been suggested that we just bleed them, take what we can from them and incinerate the carcasses." He told them, told them as if it was nothing more than swatting an irritating fly.

"We've already started that process with the extra blood drives, and I think we have enough in our hospital blood banks to move on a little. The less humans we have to move the easier the transition will be," he said and took a breath. "Now as these bled humans haven't actually been killed-"

"Why?" Seungkwan interrupted, drawing an impatient look from the elder.

"Because despite it being a good idea to store their blood, we couldn't exactly execute them en mass. The sudden disappearance of hundreds of people? That would cause panic and hysteria within the populace. People would ask questions, wouldn't they?" He informed the younger as if he was talking to a two year old child.

"No. Taking as much of their blood without arousing suspicion was the only way to go." He took another gulp of his drink. "Now, this is where you two come in."

Sehun and Seungkwan looked at each other with trepidation but they tried not to show it. Wonwoo wanted men with steel in their back bones and ice in their veins. Normally that would be the vampires in front of him, but this? This was massive. This was life changing. This was going to end badly.

"I was thinking of rigging the houses with lethal gas, setting up a timer and doing it that way-"

"That wouldn't work," Sehun interrupted, urgency in his voice. "You would more likely kill too many, if not everyone."

"Yes, I know," the elder smiled and lay his empty glass on the side table. "Instead, I'm going to call a mandatory meeting in the town hall. Every individual that wont be needed for relocation will be sent an order to attend, no refusals, no exceptions. And once there, then the poisoned gas will be released. It will be painless, don't worry. It's the least that can be done for them."
