"I am Ariel, ... August is someone important to me".

"..., Oh! he is, for all of us here", Noah gave a sad smirk turning his gaze towards Matt and Travis, both drowned in sorrow.

[Silence]

The cool breeze passed again bringing the sign of another hopeless find which made everyone quiet under the night of the cold moonlight. Maybe if August was there he would have had courage to break the pin drop silence, at least he would try. The August they knew was braver than anyone and would make happy memories over any thing small. He would look out for others without giving second thought for himself.

They had seen August vulnerable countless time and lost on his own sad world. Sometime he would have blank gaze inside a party full of people or in movie hall or in coffee shop or on a trip despite the company, but then shift back immediately to his happyself when someone payed attention as if he was faking it for his whole life. Everyone secretly knew it as they accepted his flaws.

"We have a company" Ariel growled angry.

"Wait..., what do you mean we have a com..."

[BANG!!!]

"GET DOWN" he shouted pulling Noah to the ground and ~swoosh~ safely landing on the other side of the car for cover. Both Matt and Travis panicked after dodging the bullets so close when Ariel shouted, like they felt sudden animal instinct to follow the order no matter what. They glanced in surprise at each other as they got goosebumps all over their bodies.

All four of them crouched behind the car. Noah with wide eyes speechless was under the strong grip of Ariel on both of his shoulder from behind, being protected as the rain of bullets were falling on them.

"What's happening ? Who are they ?", Travis swinged his head at Matt and everyone unaware.

"Maybe acquaintance of kidnappers ? That was unexpected. I should give a call to Diego, maybe to dig some information, identity uh.. or location and warn others to be carefu..."

"STAY HERE".

~swoosh~

Ariel interrupted flying straight opposite to firing into the woods on his super unhuman speed unlike any vampire they have encountered making rest of them amazed.

"Where's he going ? Wait...did the shooting stop ?..... NOAH!!! YOU OKEY ?" Matt asked worried, taking a quick peek towards the hills while Travis comforted his brother who was in a huge shock.

"Noah, what's wrong ? Are you scared or what ?", Travis tilted his head concerned.

"..."

"NOAH ???" he shaked him.

"WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP!!! CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR ?", Noah stood up panicked, both his arms around his head.

"Get Down" Matt in small whisper quickly pulled him down.

"Psh.....haha..haha..ha. Dude, and I thought he was terrified. .... Don't worry Noah, Matthew will buy you a new car", Travis was relieved.

"WHAT ? when did I say that ?"

"You know how hard it was to buy it with my own salary despite some help from my brother. What if you had brought your Ferrari today ? Or that jet black Bentley from your collection ? It was my idea to bring my car, no ? since Jackie and I left it in middle of nowhere to catch that old hag last time. Please boss ? Help me. You are hella rich and I swear, I'll do my job well...." Noah pleaded nonstop as Matt was speechless staring at his whining.

"FINE FINE", he rubbed his temples. Noah then sudden change on his expression started praising Matt who was full of himself and Travis couldn't help but shake his head at them. While ignoring their conversation, he saw something flashing, "....., What's that ?" said pointing his finger towards the hill.

All of them popped their head towards the small light signal.

"I think it's Ariel", Noah mumbled.

"Let's go". Everyone followed Matt.

~swoosh~

~swoosh~

~swoosh~

[On the other side]

~hoo-hooooooo~

In the stillness of the night, owl hooted somewhere inside the dense forest. The pitch black view but a clutch of vampires marking their target with the vision stronger than that of an owl itself. They watched a group of people getting off from the car on by one on the middle of highway.

"Who the hell is that last guy ? Did he just saw through us ?, A man in mask whispered to his partner laying beside him.

"Shh... Eleven, he didn't", The blue haired guy answered sticking his eyes on the scope. He took the handheld transceiver then in a small voice commanded,

3, 2 ,1>

~bang~ bang~bang~bang....

Every birds on the trees flew with sudden thunder strike. The gun shoots were quiet and clean but on the pin drop silence, the bullets hitting the car made quite an echo and disturbance for every non-humans present around there.

"What happened ? Did we get em?", Eleven tilted his head. There were about six of them in pair laying flat on the top of different hills waiting for a right moment to strike as a top snipers force under the command of Tony.
