BLACKFOREST REIGN

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Pat and his family hadn't always been vampires. They were humans who found themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time and got hurt in the process.

They had been passing by the town of BlackForest going west of the state when they came across the town in war. Wolves had found them and attacked them.

It had been vampires who healed them and turned them into vampires, siering them and his entire family. 

They were brought to the town and thereafter their past lives were erased. They had been told to begin anew and learn the ways of the vampires.

Korn had been the very first friend for Pat to have in the new world he had been introduced to.

He didn't know what was becoming of him but Korn, as little as he was, had promised to help him through it since he was well adapted to the vampire life.

From the moment they met up until now, Korn had remained a loyal friend to him no matter the situation.

He's been with him through his birthdays, through elementary, middle school and high school.

Korn was a big part of his life. He had been there when Pat needed someone and when his mind traces back and thinks about how that night Korn needed him, Pat is fuelled with anger all over again.

He allowed Pran to play him for a fool. To make a mockery out of him.

Just when he was beginning to accept him, to let him in his world.

Just when he was beginning to be fond of him, when he was beginning to trust him, he goes and does this.

He wanted to understand him, to allow himself to think from Pran's perspective but no matter how many times he tried, he just couldn't bring himself to accept it.

Accepting it would mean betraying Korn who suffered at their hands.

"Hey" he heard Andrew's voice. Another traitor to add to the list. Honestly, his life is surrounded by liars.

He didn't answer back to him,

"Hey don't you dare give me the silent treatment. I'm not Pran"

"Yes you are not. Perhaps it should have been you whom I sent to the hospital instead of him"

He saw Andrew nodding at him

"You are angry right now and it's understandable" 

"What's not understandable is how you allowed them to attack Korn" 

"You know, perhaps if you were less worried about Korn and more on Pran you would be able to understand where he's coming from. He's your soulmate for god's sake, he would never hurt you deliberately"

Silence,

"Right now he's in a bad space. He has been for the last few weeks prior to what's happened to Korn. And now after what you did to him -"

Andrew let out a sigh. This was too tiring even for him,

"Try to understand him. Put your anger and hatred aside for a second and try to understand him. Please!!"

He asked rather beggingly. 

"_" 

Staring himself in the mirror, he could see that the scars were healing rather nicely.

Perhaps it was because of the care his mum and everyone else was giving him.

He glanced down at his soulmate mark and leader mark. Gracing his fingers on top of them made him shiver a little.
