"Why are you home late?" the voice in the dark frightened Bi Yu as she put on the light.
"Oh Mother, Let's just say I finally met the famous Gang Zhi." Bi Yu answered taking a seat next to her mother.
"So you finally killed him?"
"No, he tried to compel me to forget about this dude I work with." Bi Yu said while laughing
"I think I just found a way to push his buttons, force him to attack me then I'll pierce this needle directly at his heart. I want to see him suffer before he dies. The same way he killed my father."
"Your father would be proud of you, you know. Seeing that you are revenging his death."
"I hope he is Mom."

Gang Zhi stood outside Hao Tieng's window until the lad fell asleep. He ran home with the events of the night flashing in his mind. He never craved his blood all he felt was desire passion, lust and the need to take care of Hao Tieng, to have him in his arms. 'She lied to me' he thought as he ran faster.
The moment he reached home, he budged into his aunt's study who was luckily still awake. His aunt furrowed her brows in confusion as she tried to read Gang Zhi's face.
"You lied to me." Gang Zhi growled his eyes now changing to purple. His eyes always changed color as he let out one of his five forms.
"What do you mean?" his aunt asked pretending she didn't know what he was talking about. Gang Zhi stepped closer and grabbed her by the neck lifting her off the ground.
"I saw him today. I never wanted his blood, I never craved it. If you don't have a good reason for lying to me, I'm going to insert you with my siren venom and I'll watch you die and don't even think I'll cure you."
"Fine. There are vampire hunters in town and I just wanted to protect you. I didn't want you out there when they're practically hunting you down." his aunt said struggling for air. Gang Zhi knew that was probably a good reason but she still had no right to lie to him.
"Who are they? Why are they after me?" he asked letting go of her.
"I did some digging , they're here for revenge. You killed one of them and they're here to kill you. Here's a photo of the one I found." she said handing the photo to Gang Zhi.
Gang Zhi stared at the pic for a good couple of minutes his eyes wide from the shock.
'So that's why your at my company.' he thought.
"I'm gonna kill her and don't think that am gonna stay away from Hao Tieng anymore." he said walking out of the study leaving his dazed aunt to her thoughts.
***********
Hao Tieng woke up with a big smile feeling like a Disney Princess. He had a feeling it was going to be a good day. He got out of bed, had a nice short shower, had breakfast and stormed off to work.
He wasn't cranky as he was the past week , walking into the building with a wide smile.
He sat at his desk and replayed the previous night's events in his over and over again. He then stood up, checked if anyone was seeing him and proceeded to Gang Zhi's office quickly locking the door behind him.
He then let out a loud sigh and turned to face Gang Zhi's desk , only to be shocked as his blue eyes met with Gang Zhi's dark hazel eyes.
"Don't you knock anymore." Gang Zhi asked stepping away from his desk, walking closer to Hao Tieng. Hao Tieng pinched himself just to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
"Your back." Hao Tieng said but it sounded like a question. Gang Zhi , who was now standing in front of Hao Tieng only inches apart placed his arms on Hao Tieng's waist pulling him closer.
"Let's just say the little stunt you pulled yesterday worked." Gang Zhi said bending down to place his lips on Hao Tieng's but was interrupted with a "Uhmmmm" from Yung Jen who had been sitting on the couch the entire time. They both turned to face her as they let go of themselves.
"You guys seem to always forget that I'm in the room." she said. Gang Zhi shot her a why-didnt-you-just-shutup look.
"So, both of you ain't avoiding me anymore?" Hao Tieng asked stepping further from Gang Zhi
"Yes, you should be happy." Yung Jen answered. "Now everything can go back to how it was." she added. Hao Tieng looked at both of the siblings , the anger evident in his eyes.
"Happy. I should be happy." Hao Tieng scoffed. " First, the only friend I had in this company avoids me then...." he paused to look at Gang Zhi " Then you make me go suicidal and let's not forget that your vampires or is there anything else that you haven't filled me up in. Cause I got a feeling that you didn't suddenly stop avoiding me because I was literally suffering."
"We're sorry Hao Tieng." Yung Jen said " But we only did it so that you wouldn't get hurt." she added.
"What's the real reason? Why aren't you avoiding me anymore?" Hao Tieng asked. Sincerely he was happy they had stopped avoiding him but he was still angry at them.
Gang Zhi let out a loud sigh, he knew it was all his fault. If only he suppressed his anger and jealousy that night, maybe things would've been different.
"Your new friend. Bi Yu. She's hunting me." Gang Zhi answered honestly.
"Bi Yu. What do you mean by she's hunting you?" Hao Tieng asked.
"Didn't she tell you? I thought you guys were very close." Gang Zhi said shooting Hao Tieng an I-saw-everything look.
"She's a vampire hunter."
