No One's POV:

After Aya's snarky comment, Sura's expression turns angered as she grunts irritably, showing off her teeth and clenching her fists tightly together to calm her boiling rage. Flinching a little when her injured hand is crushed, she releases her tight palm and takes a deep breath to calm herself.

"What I was going to say, is that the fact you shouted at the top of your lungs in a house full of sleeping vampires isn't our only problem. They're going to wake up hungry" Sura answers serenely.

"Well duh, full moon tonight" Aya snaps back, narrowing her eyes.

"And this" Sura holds up her hand stained with red blood, but no wound is present whatsoever.

Their eyes widen consecutively. Seeing their reaction, Sura looks at her wound again, shocked to see all the deep cuts have healed up fully, leaving behind her dried blood.

"Great, we're in a house with awake and thirsty vampires, on the day of a full moon, and you're bleeding" Aya states the obvious, sighing in frustration.

"Once they smell that, they're gonna go crazy" Laita says, shivers crawling up her spine.

"It's just a matter of time" Reika declares firmly.

"Just how exactly did you inflict that wound upon yourself?" Reika questions irritably, staring at Sura.

"Tch. I broke a vase with my bare hand" She turns her gaze away and crosses her arms.

"Really, you just don't know your own strength sometimes" Reika sighs, like she's scolding a small child.

"Let's not forget who yelled at the top of the stairs" Shae yawns quietly.

Everyone turns to see she's comfortably sat herself on one of the couches, lying down and drifting off to sleep again.

"Thanks for chiming in" Aya sarcastically growls.

A thick silence grows in the air, most of the sisters containing the pent up rage bubbling inside them.

"Deja vu anyone" Laita jokes, referring to a couple of days ago when they had all gathered here in the same room to escape their dire fates.

"This is no time for jokes" Reika hardens her gaze into a scolding glare.

"Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood" She puts her hands up in surrender.

"So, all joking aside, what are we going to do?" Sura quizzes, her gaze remaining stony.

A brief silence arises and gazes are exchanged, before someone decides to speak up.

"Cordeney knows of our weakness and our secret, he could expose both of them at any given time and use that to his advantage" Reika deduces.

"Just like he revealed our pasts, he'll reveal the biggest secret our family keeps" Aya adds.

"Then, what if we tell them?" Kana suggests innocently.

"No" Her sisters state firmly in unison, their opinions clear.

Another uncomfortable silence emerges, while everyone devises a plan silently to themselves.

"We can leave, run away where he can never find us again" Sura offers.

"We already tried that, and he found us. He will always find us until we're dead" Laita responds.

"And besides...what if, I don't want to leave?" Kana voices quietly, squirming uncomfortably on the spot.

"That's right, I'm sick and tired of hiding and running away. Why don't we just stay and fight!" Sura stands firmly by her sister.

"You know that's not an option, it's practically suicide" Laita speaks sternly.
