Brian found Shea curled herself to a ball at the very end of the room which was the farthest point from the corpse. She hadn't consumed blood from the man which confused Brian. She was supposed to lose her control and feed on him because for Brian, Shea have not got blood into her system since she came.
"Shea?" He called out making her move a little.
"Are you fine?" He asked walking to her.
"Let me out of this room." She spoke without moving an inch further.
Brian picked her up bridal style and walked out of the room passing the corpse. Shea immediately clenched her fist and grabbed his shirt collar with closed eyes. He could feel her uneven breath hitting on him. It is sure that Qihe has scared her to the point that she forgot her true self.
"Mrs.Sung gave me something that she wanted you to have." Brian softly hummed trying to cool her.
"Y-you saw her? Whe-ere is it?" Shea knew that it would be blood potion for her.
Brian placed her on a bed and closed the door behind as he didn't want anyone to watch them. Shea looked around trying to figure out where she was as she have never been allowed to a proper room ever since she came.
"Don't worry, it is my room." Brain said pulling a chair and sitting next to her.
"Why am I here? He will not spare me if he finds this out."
"He wouldn't come here to my room. This room is restricted for him and the other guards."
Shea looked confused as she never thought there would be something that is prohibited for Qihe in his own mansion. The place looked dark and quiet, definitely giving her one of the creepy vibes.
"I am not going to hurt you." He said as if he read her mind.
"Give me what she asked you to." Shea acted brave while putting her hands forward.
"Don't consume too much as I cant always refill it for you. I guess, she made it herself so must be good enough to hold for some days." Brian said giving her the packet.
"What do you mean?" Shea asked as her eyebrows furrowed.
"Open it and have it. It has been a week already." Brian smirked at her.
"Excuse me? What are you saying?" Shea asked pulling the packet from him and hiding it behind her.
"It is not a big deal." Brian said leaning over her while she moved back as reflex.
His blood hit her senses right away making her choke. She felt like her head was spinning and the urge to feed on him grew in her. Shea considered Brian as someone who could understand her in the hell hole but his lusty eyes told her another story. Was he being nice to her for all this? Was this his real intention?
"What are you going to do to me?" She asked as she broke the eye contact.
"What are you thinking? You want me to do something to you?" He asked just like Qihe asked her earlier.
Shea tried to push him away but he wouldn't even budge. His hands were on either side of her clutching on to the black mattress. Shea felt like her eyes were starting to change colour but how much ever she tried, reading his mind seemed impossible for her.
"Want to read my mind?" He asked in his low husky voice which was unfamiliar to her.
"Who are y-you?" She started panicking.
"Brian? Am I not?" He chuckled while pulling away.
"No, you are not Brian." She protested.
"Are you not in senses? Mrs. Sung told me who you are. I already knew she is a vampire so things are good. I won't expose you to him." He patted her shoulder and walked away locking the door behind.
Shea left out a heavy breath as she thought she was about to be exposed or killed by him. She didn't understand why Brian was acting so cool to her, he even leaned so close to her not considering the fact that she could drink his blood any moment.
"Where do I hide it? I can go on for two days with the blood in my system. I can't waste even a small potion." She muttered looking around.
No way she could carry it with her as everyone in the mansion picks on her for no reason. She knew it would be easy to hide it in the same room as Brian already knows her truth. Until, she gets a room on her own she have to keep it with Brian as no one else enters there.

"Where were you?" Qihe asked keeping his riffle back in the glass box.
"I had to deal the federation regarding your resignation." Brian answered while checking the number of bottles which were shattered on the floor.
"I need to talk to my team. They would be upset."
"They trusted you more than anyone else and your supporters are sad too. You need to talk to them." Brian suggested.
"I will go live on my instagram account tomorrow."
"I won't be here tonight, is there anything important?"
"Where are you going?" Qihe asked looking straight into Brian's eyes.
"I have to meet someone, its personal."
"I don't understand what you are trying to do behind me." Qihe huffed.
"Nothing which concerns you. I am not going to stab you from behind like the side character in movies." Brian chuckled making the other automatically burst into laughter.
"I am glad that are you are here for me even after all the things we have been through." Qihe hugged Brian out of the blue.
"Woahh, are you okay?" Brian asked at the unexpected action.
Qihe was actually suffering from a lot more than anyone could understand. His nightmares were trying to communicate something important to him which he couldn't figure out. He felt stinging pain in his neck very often but he was never once hurt there as far as he knows.
