Mikayla wakes up from his sleep. The sky is dark, he is panting. He has a nightmare but unable to remember about it. He pretty sure that it is something horrible but what is it? He is hearing a screaming. He gets out of the bed and opens the window. Night breezes brush past his cheek. It has been a few months since he can sleep at night. It is refreshing. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He can smell the rose and surprisingly he loves the smell even though he really hates to take rose bath.
"I will be the sacrifice," said Jaxon.
"No! Let me be the sacrifice. As your father, I will bear this responsibility," said Lincoln.
"Father! I will...," said Jaxon.
"Enough!" said Bertoldo. "None of you will be the sacrifice."
Bertoldo leaves the room and gathers all the pure vampire in the house and ask them to give a bowl of their blood to fill the large water basin. They have to gag Lefu mouth with a cloth to prevent him from biting his tongue and move him to the hall where the magicians already waiting for him.
At night when the moon shows herself all the magician of the Hoyt family chant a blood separation spell. The blood in the basin forms humanoid blood. It waves its hands towards Lefu. Lefu's body trembles and his blood starts to moves out from his body. Lefu manages to spit the cloth that gags his mouth and screaming in pain.
"Blood! MY BLOOD!" shouted Lefu.
Lefu desire for blood is strong that it halted the blood movement. The humanoid blood starts to tremble.
"The blood is not enough to call young master blood," said the leader of the magician.
Each of the magicians presents cut their wrist and contribute some blood to the humanoid blood but it is not enough. Jaxon sees this and runs into the spell circle. He cut both of his wrists and let his blood pours into the basin. The humanoid blood notices him and grabs both of wrist and start absorbing his blood. Jaxon is surprised and tries to pull his wrist back but the humanoid blood holds tight his hand. Jaxon pale face turns paler.
His father saw this and want to stop the humanoid blood but the magician stops him. Lincoln is very anxious but there is nothing he could do. Lefu screaming gets louder as his blood slowly moves out from his body. Bertoldo is standing behind Lefu and hold him, he is preparing to supply new blood to Lefu.
Jaxon body starts to shrivel. He looks towards his father and shakes his head. He smiles at him telling him that he is okay. Lincoln eyes are on tears.
Shaking in red, in red, in red
To the edge of the dream, the dream
We met; destiny begins to turn
A secret that no-one, no-one knows
I fall, I fall, I fall
I certainly can't return anymore, even if I carve out my sins
While I was walking in the abyss of loneliness, I was saved
By realistic eyes that never change
But a shadow born as the light is bright
Deeply and pronouncedly creeps up to me
The two heartbeats are exactly like two mirrors facing each other
The (pains) are similar (but) different and continue infinitely
A song can be heard in the hall. All the magician stops the chanting as if they are all making a way for the song to appear. The humanoid blood turns into ordinary blood and the shrivelled Jaxon falls to the ground. Lincoln run towards Jaxon. Lefu's blood stops moving and spills all over the hall.
There is blood that slowly seeping out from Lefu's body and it forms a ping pong size of blood lump. The blood suddenly forms in Mikayla's shape.
"Based on the insignia it is the Hoyt family. How are you Duke Bertoldo and Sir Drar?" said Mikayla.
"You came! What did you want, you already curse my grandchild using your blood," said Drar.
"It is not me that curse your grandchild. I just come here to take my blood back," said Mikayla, his voice sound like an ancient voice, solemn and full of dignity.
Drar is taken aback, he is trembling and believe what Mikayla said. Is this the reason why those old fogies protect him? That aura is impossible for ordinary Wing Tribe to have. He probably has some secret and the old fogies are helping him. He has underestimated the old fogies. With this kind of pressure, it is actually on par with their king.
"I'm very sorry for what my grandson has done to you. He is just a kid, please forgive him," said Drar while kneeling to Mikayla. The rest of the vampire in the hall shocked seeing this scene, the mighty Drar actually kneeling to someone. KNEELING not bowing but kneeling. Who is it that he kneel to? The others did not know Mikayla is confused with Drar attitude.
"As I said, I'm not the one that cursed Lefu. I'm going to meet the real culprit for the curse after this," said Mikayla.
Mikayla floats in front of Lefu and put his right hand onto Lefu's head.
Burning in red, in red, in red
Erasing everything, everything
An unfulfilled illusion begins to move
{Black red runes slithering like a snake comes out from Lefu's body and circling Mikayla. Then, the runes are shaped into a ball as big as a baby palm. All of them can sense the piercing pressure from the runes. They can hear the runes calling for blood. All of the vampires feels their throat dry and thirst for blood.}
Strongly, strongly
Overcoming, overcoming, overcoming the fleeting night
I certainly can't escape, even if I drown in my sins
Mikayla holds the ball of runes and slowly evaporate from their sight. All the vampire feels like they are dreaming. Drar approaches Lefu and do a rough scan and found out all the curse is gone. He then remembers his conversation with Mikayla's earlier.
In the castle on the Land of Ancestor.
Hecate suddenly feels like he is being stabbed in at the heart. He vomits some blood and this makes all his friends shocked. A spell backlash, Hecate actually having a spell backlash.
"Hecate! Are you alright?" asked Elena.
"What happens? Who is strong enough to dispel your spell?" asked Lamia.
All of them have a grim expression. Unknowing to them a song can be heard and the blood in the blood vials that contain Mikayla's blood slowly seep out from the vial and grouped. It then slowly forms into Mikayla's shape.
"It's me!" said Mikayla. "Never in my mind that there are so many of you."
The six of them is startled, how on earth did Mikayla come here?
"One!" Mikayla points his hand towards Mara. Mara directly kneels on the floor.
"Two!" Mikayla hand points towards Daniela then "Three!" as he points towards Spike "Four!" towards Elena "Five!" towards Lamia and finally "Six!" towards Hecate. All of them kneeling on the floor. Luckily all of their guardians and servants are not here, if not they all will be shocked seeing this scene. The ancestors of the vampire actually kneel towards someone from other races.
Mikayla makes a chair from the wind and sits in front of them. "You, the woman that always sit at my room window and you Mara my teacher actually one of them it is quite shocking. Care to tell me who are all of you."
"Mikayla, let me explain," said Mara. "All of us means you no harm and we just want you to be safe and grow happily."
"By giving a curse using my blood?" said Mikayla.
"It is a lesson for them so that they never provoke you," said Lamia
"You kill an innocent person for that?" said Mikayla.
"Mikayla, you are too soft. If we did not do something then they are the one that will do something to you," said Hecate. He manages to cope with the backlash and slowly healing himself.
"That is correct. Vampire is a proud creature," said Daniela.
"Why? I did not do anything to them," said Mikayla. He stares each of them one by one he can feel a familiar aura on them but he did not know where or when he encounters the familiar aura.
"Did not do anything does not mean others will not do the same. We just use the Hoyt family as a warning for the others to not do anything bad to you," said Hecate.
"Why are all of you trying to protect me? Who are all of you?" asked Mikayla. He stands up and approaches them, he wants to get close to them and feels the familiar aura. When he wants to touch Hecate but he slowly evaporates and vanishes. Before completely disappear he told them to meet him at the mansion tomorrow.
Mikayla is panting in his room. His face is pale. He is laying on the ground beside the window. The cold air of the night enters the room and makes Mikayla shiver. He slowly gets up and lay on his bed. Jason enters the room and found out Mikayla already sleeping.
Jason took out a small crystal ball.
"Master, young master is asleep. I can sense the residue of magic power. It is no doubt it was him that visit all of you in the castle," said Jason.
