(Author's note: I am extremely sorry for the delay guys.... I had to write this one again and again because nothing seemed good enough)

(Inside the Bangkok Institute)

Forth was on his way to the training room when he felt a burning sensation in the right side of his abdomen. That was where his Parabatai rune was located so that could mean only one thing- Phana's life is in Danger!

He rushed over to Lydia's room. Their mother had gone to a Clave meeting and Lydia was the best tracker they now had at the Institute.

"..Pha....Tr...Track him....fast...He...He's....in...Dan....Danger....", Forth panted out as he doubled over from having sprinted halfway through the Institute.

"WHAT!...Ai'Pha..Danger", Lydia couldn't believe it.... but when she saw the faint glow coming from under Forth's white shirt, she knew they had to hurry up.

"Okay.. Ai'Forth.. Lift up your shirt..Let me see your Parabatai rune", she said, as she took out her own stele and activated the tracking rune on her arm. Then she ran the stele over Forth's Parabatai rune to get Phana's location.

************************************

As soon as Beam opened the door, he was met with the sight of his best friend, looking worried out of his wits. He was carrying a guy whose skin looked dangerously pale. When he saw the face of the guy, he was shocked.

"That's N'Phana! What happened to him?"

"He was hit by black magic..Demon attack..Can you help him?"

"Of course I can..I am not the High Warlock of Bangkok for nothing....But let's call Ai'Kit just to be safe.."

He quickly sent a fire message to his other best friend. Then he casted a spell on the unconscious Shadowhunter so that the open wounds on his body would be sealed and would start healing.

"Bring him to my bed.. I'll check him up while Ai'Kit comes.."

Ming immediately complied and carried Phana to Beam's room. Just as Beam turned around to follow him, a confused looking Kit entered  through a portal in Beam's living room.

"Ai'Beam, what's the emergency?"

Kit had just started dozing off after a long shift at the hospital when he was disturbed by his best friend's fire message.

"A Shadowhunter's been hit by demon magic..I need your help to recuperate him."

Hearing the word Shadowhunter confused the tired and sleepy Kit even more.

"Shadowhunter..but....how....I mean how did he come here?"

"Ai'Ming brought him"

Kit's eyes widened at this statement.

"Wait....wait.... wait...Let me get this straight- Ai'Ming brought an injured Shadowhunter here?"

Kit queried stressing on the words 'Ai'Ming' and 'Shadowhunter'. The two words did sound weird together.

"I'm pretty sure it's a long story.. Even I don't know the details yet..We need to hurry up so just tell me if you'll help me or not?"

"Of course I will..I am a doctor for God's sake, idiot!"

Having reached an agreement, both best friends moved to Beam's bedroom to check on the injured Shadowhunter.

When they entered the room, they witnessed something they would never have expected in the last couple of centuries.

Their 'Shadowhunter-loathing' vampire friend was fervently rubbing the unconscious Shadowhunter's palms together to warm him up, looking absolutely worried.

A loud crashing sound pulled them out of their thoughts. Before they could go check it out, a tall tanned figure entered the room, weapon raised and a ready-to-fight expression on his face.

Beam recognized Forth the moment he saw him and he felt something flutter inside.But said tanned man had other intentions. Before the two friends knew, Forth was already hauling Ming up by his collar.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM??"

Forth looked extremely angry at the moment. He could feel his Parabatai's body weakening through their bond and misread the situation before his eyes.

"Wait Nong!..... You are misunderstanding the situation..

Before Beam could finish, Forth's body was already flying across the room and Ming was running towards him.

"STOP!"

Kit quickly pulled up two shields, separating the two angry young men.

"KIT! LOOK OUT!"

Thanks to Beam, Kit managed to dodge the dagger coming towards him. Meanwhile Beam created a shield around himself and a trapping spell around the furious-looking beautiful woman who had just attacked his best friend.

"AI'KIT, RELEASE ME NOW!"
"LET ME GO!"
"I AM GONNA GET YOU WARLOCK!"

Everyone started shouting at the same time.

"SHUT UP!"

That sudden outburst from the shorter Warlock had managed to cause a moment of calm in the room.

"Ai'Beam, WHAT is all this?"

"I will explain everything, I promise but let's just focus on N'Phana for now. Please.."

Beam looked everyone in the eye, almost pleading for them to cooperate.

"N'Forth, let me help your Parabatai..I promise we were not trying to harm him. We are just trying to help."

Beam really wanted the younger to trust him. As for Forth, one look into those pretty brown eyes and he couldn't really refuse anything they asked for.

"But Ai'Forth--"

"It's okay, Lydia. I trust them..Do what you want P'Beam..Just save him.... Please.."

"Okay, so I am going to release you guys..Be civilized while I treat my patient"

Kit looked at both his captives intently with an expression that said 'You better do as I say' before dropping the shields. Beam released the trap around Lydia as well.

After eveyone had somewhat calmed down, the two Warlocks set to work on the injured Shadowhunter. They sent pulses of magic through the pale body till the colour started to return to his skin.

Only after about half an hour, when they were satisfied that all was done, did they relax.

"He will be unconscious for some time since his body is in the self healing stage.. I think we should just let him rest for a while"

Kit gave his final diagnosis and all of them moved out of the room, tired after that long period of fear and agitation.

"So how about we introduce ourselves.." Lydia chirped after they had all settled down in Beam's living room.
