John saw Caden standing by the door in his white vest, he has well defined muscles with black eyes, long black hair tied together with a crimson band into a ponytail. "Caden, I heard from grandma that you are the son of aunt Reina, I first wanted to come to aunt Reina, to thank her for training me then I wanted to personally thank you for saving me and Elena".
John walked over to where Caden stood and held out his hand, Caden was a little stunned and he looked over to his mother where she only smiled and nodded her head at him. Caden then looked at John and he couldn't help to smile and reach out his hand to shake John's hand "you know, you don't need to thank me John, grandmother woke me up from my slumber to come and save you and that is what I did"
"I know, but I feel like I have to do thank you for saving me and Elena even though grandma send you, also, I'm always happy to see a new family member"
Caden smiled "You know, I'm impressed that you managed to survive long enough for me to come and find you, that wolf I fought was very strong…well not that strong but I mean for you he was leagues above hehehe"
John then had a confused look on his face "what you mean by not that strong, pardon my french but if I remember correctly, that werewolf beat the living shit out of you when he slammed you in that tree"
"Yes, but I wasn't at my peak condition, also, I punched him through the huge tree".
John then touched his chin "well, he did loosen the tree when he kneed you in the stomach, I did not like how he almost beat you but that brief moment of the fight I saw was fire, I ain't gon lie"
Caden then protested "he did not beat me and I was rusty… You know what I am not going to argue with you" he then folded his arms.
Looking at the two arguing, Reina could not help herself from giggling "Hey, stop arguing over trivial things, John tomorrow we are going to start your training again, so be ready"
"Yes Ma'am" John then turned to Caden "Caden, again thank you for rescuing me and Elena, I hope you can give me some pointers in the future"
Caden then patted John on the head "sure kid"

After John left Caden went to the table to pour himself some blood in a glass "Mother, does the kid have any potential?". Reina then walked to look out of the window "John has not shown any of late, but I am certain he will surprise us in the future, he is a hybrid after all"
Caden was confused "what do you mean mother? You did not tell me he was a hybrid, is the father a human being?"
Reina smiled "His father is Jiren Fang, a werewolf". Caden could not believe what his mother is saying "how is this possible mother? Does father know about this"
"Your father was the one that told me son, he said we must keep it a secret for the time being, not many in the castle know about this"
After Caden drank the blood and he poured himself some whiskey in another glass and drank it in one gulp "His father is one of the strongest I've seen in battle"
"His grandfather hates him for being part wolf "Reina said.
"It is understandable knowing grandfather's history with the wolves, but I hope he can look at John as his grandson and not the wolf that is in his blood" Caden said.

After John left the room, he went to the backyard of the castle where Thomas and Carmilla were riding horses. The horse that Thomas were riding were a caramel color, while the horse Carmilla was riding was snow white. When Carmilla saw John coming towards them, she waved and shouted "John! Come ride with me!". When John got near them, he shook his head at her "I don't know how to ride a horse".
Carmilla was astonished when she heard that John had never rode a horse, she then moved the horse to where John was standing and she held out her hand "Grab my hand John". John looked up at Carmilla's small hand, she had a lovely smile on her face.
John giggled a little and also reached out his hand, when John was on top of the horse, he felt very nervous but Thomas talked to John and ensured him that everything will be alright. For hours they both helped John and gave him tips on how to ride a horse.
After practicing horse riding John, Carmilla and Thomas took the horses back to the stables. Further, they also thought of feeding the horses and so Carmilla asked one of the stable boys to bring a basket full of fruits. Carmilla took one of the apple fruits and gave it to the horse "John, so tell me and Thomas what you do for fun on earth". Thomas also took one apple fruit and fed it to a horse "Yes John, tell us something interesting".
John giggled "Alright calm down you two". John then pondered for a moment on what to tell Thomas and Carmilla "Well me and my two friends usually go to the cinema to watch movies, do you probably know what a cinema is?". Both Thomas and Carmilla shook their heads
"Figured as much, well a cinema is where people go to watch a movie to entertain themselves, it's like a room with a huge or big screen where a visual story is told, it's almost the same as a story book that you are reading where you see everything in your mind, but except you see everything on a big screen with moving pictures and sound"
Carmilla was fascinated "One day I also want to go to earth and go to this cinema, even though we don't have a cinema with a huge screen, we do have devices that can records events like photographic jades or we have devices that show a close up how people fight in the colosseum"
"Wow that's so cool, also, one day I will take you to the cinema don't worry bout it Carmilla, so we watched this movie where the people fight with glowing swords in space where they have powers to push people with this invisible power"
Carmilla then chimed in "well, there are people who can also do that in this world", John then got excited "Really, can they also teach me". Thomas then giggled "Hold on John, you must first get stronger, not even I'm on that level yet"
"Ok I'll chill, so in this movie, most of the people cheer for the hero of the story, but I am different I like this one old man who is like a dark lord who shoots lighting powers from his hands, I think that was pretty cool".
Thomas then said "in this world there are people who can do that, they are very powerful individuals". John was then thinking for a moment if he could also become like the character in the movies "we would mostly hangout at my friend Freddy's house and play video games all day, that is what we mostly during the day to pass time".
"It must be nice to enjoy life like that John, we are always expected to do excel in school, we don't have a lot of time to enjoy life like that, we always train or study, but times like these were I get the chance to relax I try to enjoy it at its fullest" Carmilla said while giving the horse another apple
"So, what do you guys do" John asked
"Well, we do study languages, math, history and science. We also sometimes go out with our mentors where we hunt humans that are sometimes part of the assignment."
John was shocked "Do you kill them?"
Thomas then gave a light sigh "Yes John, that is how it is unfortunately, however, sometimes our mentors will not let us kill and just simply let us feed and then he will compel the human to forget the whole event"
"Do you like to hunt humans?" John asked
Both Thomas and Carmilla looked at each other and then looked at John "we love to hunt John; it is unfortunately how we were trained and it's also in our nature"
John looked a little down when he heard their answers "Then I don't want to go to that school, I don't want to kill people". Both Thomas and Carmilla knew that it is going to be hard for John to accept that hunting humans is the vampire's nature. Thomas then went up to John and placed his hand on his shoulders "It's okay John we understand".
