     Licht awoke with an audible gasp. His body was in a cold sweat, his eyes burned at the dim light that shone through his window. A pounding pain banged against the inside of his head.
Something was wrong, was he sick?
He grumbled, peeling the thin hotel covers off of himself and stumbling out of bed. His legs felt weak beneath him, he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"I bet that damned demon-rat is to blame..." he scowled.
Licht huffed and pushed his door open, walking across the hall to his servamp's room. He didn't bother to knock, barging in immediately and raising his voice. "You shitty rat! What did you-!"
He stopped.
The room was empty, the sheets undisturbed.
Licht furrowed his brows. "God, damnit.." he growled, closing the door. He trudged down the hallway still feeling weak. He had to stop for a moment to regain his strength before continuing.
"When I find that rat I'm going to kill him.."

Licht angrily searched the streets for his eccentric servamp. He didn't really know where to look, but he didn't stop. He remembered the deamon saying something about having to stay close together; by that logic he couldn't have gone far.
And as far as he knew, he could tell there was an un-pure soul near by.

     "How far doth he run... wherever he tries to hide.." a dark, unfamiliar voice spoke behind him. He gasped turning around, but was immediately caught by the throat in a tight grasp.
"It makes no difference.."

     Licht's breath hitched at the force around his neck. He wore a deep scowl towards the man holding him. Who would dare attack an angel like this one?
     "Let's see.. are you the right one? Licht Todoroki..?" The red haired male asked, tilting his head to the side and examining the eve.
     Licht clicked his tongue in annoyance, his lead activating in the process. A strong kick sent the red haired man flying; Licht regained his balance as the man hit the wall of a building.
     The eve huffed, dusting himself off.
     "Hmm, impressive~" the man's voice echoed. With inhuman speed he was suddenly in front of the eve, slamming the boy into the ground with an evil grin.
He lifted Licht up by his collar, "now I'm sure I have the right guy." He chuckled.
The eve spat blood at the man, but he only laughed in response.
'I'll kill this demon...'

"Licht!"
Mahiru's voice suddenly rang through the air. He had been running, searching for him after receiving a call from the boy's manager. All he knew was something was wrong, and they he needed to find the eve.
However he stopped, noticing just how much danger the ravenette was in. A vampire had him in his grasp, one of tsubaki's subclass, most likely.
      He had to do something.
     His hands moved forwards, preparing to grab his lead. But suddenly, he felt a someone grab his wrist. He looked back, Kuro held a concerned expression despite his tired stance.
      "Wait..." the vampire muttered. "We should call the others.." he said.
      Part of him knew something wasn't going to end well. He could feel the strain in his chest, the unnatural struggle to keep his human form.
     He knew he couldn't keep doing this.
     But he didn't make the decisions, mahiru did.
     "We can't! By then it'll be to late" the boy exclaimed. He pulled out his lead, and brought his arm up to the servamp's fangs quickly.
     Kuro let out a low sigh, taking an amount of the boy's blood. His body felt heavy, his muscles tight. But he had to keep going.
     He had to.

     'But you're wrong...'
     '..you're a killer..'

     He froze.

     He couldn't do it. He couldn't do anything. He suddenly felt like the world was crushing him. Like a black, thick substance was drowning him, clogging his airways and sight.
Everything he had been holding in came flooding through him all at once.
     All he could do was struggle. He could hear the familiar demonic voice infiltrating his ears. He could hear screaming.
     The fear was engulfing him.

     As strong as he had been, he couldn't hold the weight of the world any longer.
     And so, he collapsed.

     A loud crash filled the air. The pride and lust pairs were the only ones present in the inn; they looked at each other in confusion.
     "What.. was that..?" Hugh asked in confusion.
     The others seemed concerned. (Y/n) was the only one there with them. But they haven't seen her for a while now. She was in her room, alone the whole time until she had finally walked out to the kitchen to get something to drink.
     Lily stood abruptly, his brows furrowed.
     He made his way towards the kitchen, the others soon growing concerned enough to follow.

     An eerie silence filled the air. Lily peeked into the kitchen; (y/n) was standing there, wide eyed. shattered glass was scattered across the floor.
     "(Y/n), dear.. are you alright..?" Lily called to her. "What happened..?"
     The girl looked up to him, her breathing was heavy, her motions panicked. "I don't know I-I just-" she tried to explain. Her body felt suddenly heavy, her hands trembled.
     What was happening to her?
     She couldn't make any coherent words. It felt as if every single one of her senses had been ripped away from her.

     "(Y/n)..?" The servamp asked. The girl now seemed completely out of it. He took a step forwards, worried.
     (Y/n) blinked a few times, it seemed like she was looking at nothing yet focused at the same time. Lily could see her breathing falter,
     And suddenly, her knees buckled beneath her.

     "-(Y/n)!"
