A/N: I THINK THERE ARE THINGS THAT MAY BE CONFUSING TO SOME READERS. I WILL TRY TO PUT SOME FOOTNOTES. I WILL ALSO UPDATE THE PREVIOUS CHAPTERS ONCE MY SCHED PERMITS IT. THANK YOU!

They found Kota slumped on the basement of the old mansion. He was lying unconscious on the floor. And true enough, the prisoner was nowhere to be found.

“Gomenasai!” Yuki sniffed. Tears were forming in her eyes.

Yuri shook his head.

Keito found himself staring at the chains that had been tying the prisoner before she was taken away. First, Shizuka, then, Ryosuke and then his best friend, Yuto.

He held his silver sword tightly in his hands and with tears in his eyes, he slashed the chains bending his anger at the stationary object.

Kei held the oldest of seven. “Stop that, Keito!” he exclaimed.

But Keito just staggered away.

Yuya and Daiki, who just came saw what was happening and held Keito’s hand and pinned him on the floor.

“It will not help if you trash around like that, Keito!” Yuya exclaimed at the crying boy.

“Calm down…” Daiki soothed him.

When Keito already calmed down, he buried his face on Daiki’s shoulder. Daiki blinked as tears also poured down from his face.

Yuya stared at the broken ceiling. He had been trying to suppress his tears but couldn’t.

“We are not safe here anymore.” Jhenie declared.

“Where are we going, then?” Aya asked.

Then, there was a flicker outside the window. Both the hunters and the vampires grabbed their weapons.

They heard a knock on the door. Jhenie silently asked them to hide. When she was sure that they were hidden safely, she opened the door.

An old man was outside the door. He was smiling at her. He was holding an old lamp in his hand, which seemed weird since it is already the 21stcentury.

“Yes?” Jhenie asked.

“I am Rosendo de Yretti. Eldest of the Primeras.”

Jhenie stared at the old man in confusion.

“I am here to offer you a home under the mountains.” The old man stated.

“You are helping us?” she asked.

“Yes, I am.”
