Vampire King [Sequal]

[Chapter 7]

(Lord the reason why it took so long was because of the damn drawing lmao. I tried.)

"You're..." I said out loud as Lia clung to my arm with concern and fear. 

"E-Emi? Shouldn't we, you know, r-run?" She whispered harshly to me while I stared at the large black wolf as it sat down, not breaking our gaze. 

I shook my head. "Oh- Uhm, I don't think it'll hurt us, come on let's just start walking home..." I sighed and turned to Lia, giving her a reassuring smile as I clutched the package close to me. I turned around and began walking away from the creature that sat not too far from us. 

"A-Ah! Don't leave me!" Lia panicked and ran up to me, sticking close to my side. I glanced back, watching it transform into bats and disappear.

'He must've sent them to Yuki...'

As the two vampires made their way down the dark empty street, Aido noticed Kaname's familiar take form behind them once again. He tensed up knowing he was under Kaname's surveillance as he continued to let the young Pureblood lead the way to their destination. Just a moment ago, Yuki was explaining to him about a person in her past. An old woman named Momoyama.

"We're here," Yuki spoke up as she came to a stop. Aido looked up expecting a house, but instead, a gate that leads to gravestones. 

"A cemetery?" He asked out loud with confusion showing in his blue orbs.

"You see... Momoyama's funeral was the only one I've attended. We bid her farewell here..."

Aido remained silent and waited for Yuki to go in, but she didn't move a muscle.

"Aren't you going in?"

"I'm fine here... I don't know when I'll visit again so I wanted to stop by and say hello."

"Saying hello... The dead can't answer back, you know." He sighed and glanced back into the cemetery where many lay in rest. Yuki then turned her soft gaze over to Kaname's familiar, who was watching the trees intensely. She followed his sharp gaze to see a group of bats waiting in the leafless trees. It was as if they were watching them.

"That's odd. These bats are... similar to Kaname's, but..."

Then, a sudden army of bats swarmed them causing the two vampires to be alert.

"Aido," Yuki spoke up as she came back to back with Aido.

"Be on your guard." He urged. The wolf growled at the bats but was sliced up immediatly, causing the familiar to disappear.

 Yuki stared at the puddle of blood in shock and disbelief. "Lord...Kaname...?" Before she could react, a figure began to form in front of them, causing Aido to immediately jump in front of her to guard her against any attacks this stranger might do. Soon a playful voiced called out to the both of them.  

"Good evening~"

Lia tugs slightly on the sleeve of my blue coat as she keeps glancing back. "Emi! It's back!" She whispered. I didn't reply and stopped walking, turning around to wolf that appeared not too far from us. I bent down and held my hand out, urging it to come closer in which it did.

"Emi! What are you doing?!" 

"What are you doing here...? Shouldn't you be with Yuki and Aido?" I asked with a frown. But my expression changed to worry as I noticed wounds healing and bat wings forming. I quickly placed my hand over the visible spot to hide them from Lia.
