Jeremy wiped the blood from his mouth while walking home. At the same time, Angela woke up in the middle of the night since she couldn't sleep for many hours straight.

Angela As she got up, she told herself. So strange. Why can't I sleep?

She headed downstairs for a bit and saw what looked like to be Jeremy coming home from outside the window.

Angela: She wondered. Was that Jeremy?

Once Jeremy was about to see Angela checking him out inside the house, Angela immediately hid against a wall away from Jeremy where she thought he couldn't see her. However, he teleported behind her while she slowly moved for a bit.

Jeremy: Hey Angela, can I help you with something?

Angela: Turned around and said. Ahhh! You startled me.

Jeremy: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Aren't you supposed to be asleep?

Angela: I can't sleep for some reason. I thought you would be asleep too.

Jeremy: Well, I can't sleep at night. I usually have many things on my mind.

Jeremy: I'm going to get something to drink. What about you?

Angela: I'm going to head upstairs to sleep.

When Angela went upstairs to sleep, Jeremy took out a small bag of blood from the fridge inside the kitchen and started drinking from it.

Jeremy: As he drank from the blood bag. Ahh I love this so much. I want more.

Angela was sleeping peacefully when she went back to her bedroom. During the next morning, she woke up to brush her teeth and get dressed for another boring day of tutoring. She headed downstairs to see Lisa preparing breakfast but Jeremy wasn't awake yet.

Angela: Where's Jeremy?

Lisa: He's still asleep I'm afraid. But he'll be up later on.

Angela sat down and ate with the housekeeper. While they were enjoying breakfast, Lisa wanted to announce something.

Lisa: I want to inform you that today is Jeremy's birthday.

Lisa: It's a chance to do something special for him so he will cheer up a bit.

Angela: Really? I didn't expect that. But anyways please let him know that I'll be going out.

Angela: I don't want him to scold me like last time.

Lisa: I'm sure he won't. I won't let him. I'm still very sorry for what happened yesterday.

Angela: Not your fault. Honestly, I'm still a stranger in this house.

Lisa: Don't blame yourself, Miss Spears.

Lisa: Jeremy should learn how to be polite with people around him.

Angela: She got up from the table and said. I will be leaving now. See you later.

Angela walked out of the door and headed towards a supermall that was blocks away from the mansion. But as soon as she got close, a tall man with reddish brown hair, light brown eyes, and pale skin dressed in some formal clothing appeared before her. He was Lord Raiden. She stopped.

Angela: Hello sir, are you looking for someone?

Lord Raiden: He smiled coquettishly. No, I'm just taking a walk around this area. Where are you heading, my lady?

Lord Raiden: Is there something I can do to help you?

Angela: Oh no sir I was about to head inside the supermall over here. But what's your name?

Lord Raiden: It's Raiden. I moved here recently...

Angela: Really? That's nice. I'm Angela.

Lord Raiden: What are you going inside the supermall for?

Angela: I'm just getting a gift for someone. She tried to walk away.

Lord Raiden: Wait... It'll be nice if we go together, don't you think?

Lord Raiden: Maybe I can help you pick up a gift for that person.

Angela: She turned around. Are you sure? I guess you might be buying something too.

They both entered the mall together and they spent a while choosing the perfect gift together. Finally, they came out.

Angela: Thank you so much for your help. It was quite hard choosing the perfect gift.

Lord Raiden: He smiled. I don't mind helping a beautiful woman like you.

In the distance someone was watching and looking "kind of" pissed. It was Jeremy but he won't confront Angela about talking to another man until she gets home.

Jeremy: On the inside. Why does she always talk to other men?

At last, Angela was home holding a present in her hand for Jeremy. He was home before she could notice he went out to check on her.

Angela: Walked towards Jeremy. Happy birthday, Jeremy. I've got a present for you. She held out her present to him.

Jeremy: He faked a smile. Thank you, Angela. I like it so much.

Angela: I'm really glad. I wish you all the best.

Jeremy: So did anything interesting happen while you were out?

Angela: She lied. No nothing. I was just busy picking out the best gift for you at the mall.

Jeremy: His expression changed. Don't lie to me. I saw you flirting with another guy again.

Jeremy: Have you already forgotten what I told you yesterday?

Angela: I wasn't flirting with him. He was only helping me find a present for you.

Jeremy: He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her closer to him. Why don't you listen to me?

Jeremy: When I say don't talk to other people, I'm doing this for your own good. What if that guy did something bad to you?

Angela: Why do you care so much? You can't control my life.

Angela: Do you want me to be antisocial like you?

Jeremy: Many men around here can do a lot of harm to girls like you. Why are you so persistent?

Angela: Let go of me! It's none of your business if I talk to someone else.

Jeremy still stared at Angela intensely and stayed silent for a while.

Jeremy: He finally let go of Angela's arm. You're so stubborn. If anything bad happens to you, it'll be your fault.

Angela went upstairs to her room and she was really sad at what Jeremy said to her.

Angela: She thought to herself. Why do I feel like there's something weird about him?

Angela: On the inside. He seems to know where I am all the time.

Jeremy: As he sat in his room, he wondered. What the hell did that bastard want with her?
