"What do you want now?" Queen Aria said as she began to stretch out her arms.
"The same thing I've always been coming down here for." King Fusis said as he looked around her cell from the other side of the bars.
"None of your news is new to me. So whatever you have to say, make it interesting." Queen Aria said as she switched her position to stretch her upper body.
"Well of course, you must know everything your bloodline does huh. Well, let me ask you a question." King Fusis said as he signaled for the guards to leave them alone.
They quickly left, without saying a word.
"Fire away, Fusis." Queen Aria said as she looked at him while continuing to stretch.
"You no longer have hope to be free… it seems to be more accurate to say that you have already decided that this prison is your final resting place." King Fusis paused to wait for an answer.
"Hmm." But she didn't answer, only listened.
"I see so allow to cut to the chase than do you still hope to have Blutheim return to its former glory?" King Fusis asked.
"…" She switched her position to stretch her legs before answering. "Blutheim never lost it glory, it's only dampened. You know just as much as I do that Blutheim is needed to continue the balance of life without it, birth will simply cease. The greatness of life will also fall behind it. It'll create a ripple that the land may never recover from. You know this so why do you ask such a trivial question?" Queen Aria spoke as she stared at him.
"Yes I am aware, just checking if you are as well. Since you still understand the importance of Kingdoms of Sancta Terra, how long will you hoard the crown now that your only heir is imprisoned?" King Fusis asked as he got closer to the cell.
"The lower realm is much more different than ours, don't you agree?" She switched to a standing position. "Yet there are plenty of similarities, our weakness is as abundant there as it is here, however the threat to our life is practically supernatural in that realm." Queen Aria said with a smirk. "You know my grandchild has been exposed to those weaknesses since birth." She finished.
"…" He stood quiet as he listened and thought about what she was saying.
"We vampires are able to adapt much quicker than most species. So what if that was mixed with humanity who has immunity to most of our weaknesses?" Queen Aria said as stopped.
"It's never been tested, the blood of your king runs deep. It will never work." King Fusis said completely denying her.
"We drank the life that from all creatures, there's no preventing even with the Crimson River. You think my grandchild is imprisoned and stagnant; however, he only advances effortlessly. That is what the blood of the king is." Queen Aria said.

*Thud* *SHUT*
"Well let you rest today. However, tomorrow will be much different." S201 said as he stared at Kyle, who was thrown into a cell.
"…." Kyle remained quiet as he glared at the agent before he walked away. "I don't know where I am…. I can't sense how far Drey or Melissa is from me but I can tell they are still alive….. Shit." Kyle said as he walked to the bars.
He felt like a regular human, he didn't feel the strength, and his senses were weakened to almost a regular teenager's senses. The same way he felt before his transformation began. He didn't know why but he only felt weaker when he got closer to the bars.
There were other cells but he could tell that he was the only one there, there seemed to be a few other floors that he could see, it went in a spiral however each floor was different. But they all shared the same feeling of a cold loneliness that began to make him shutter.
He quickly moved to the corner of the cell to hide from it. He couldn't, the silence quickly turned loud. His thoughts began to quickly block it all out, however memories quickly chased and the loneliness tagged along. The cell was empty besides the black futon on the floor, like an abyss. He couldn't get near it. "Or else I would sink." The feeling of loneliness trapped him in the corner.
Then it suddenly reappeared again after so long as he crawled away from the darkness.
{17,430 L/ 50,000 L- The great king will continue to look after you.}
[The next day.]
*Clank! Clank! Clank!*
"Wake up. Here is some food for you, hurry up and drink." S201 said as he tossed a blood bag through the bars.
It felt like days went by for him, as he fell asleep balled up in the corner however, it was only hours. He quickly pulled his head up and caught the bag.
"…" Kyle remained quiet as he saw the cuffs hanging from S201's belt.
"After you drink that, you'll be taken somewhere for questioning." S201 said.
"I'm not answering any questions." Kyle told him before he sunk his teeth into the bag.
"That is not for you to decide. You're a deadman no matter what so the D-agents will be dealing with a corpse. A body they've never seen, they'll find a way to make you tick." S201 said as he watched how quickly he drank the blood. "Anyway." He finished in disgust before he opened the cell.
Kyle stood up and held his hands out, knowing S201 was already going to put the cuffs on him. He wasn't going to try to charm him either because he was wearing a certain type of eyewear that blocked his eyes from reaching S201.
S201 didn't waste any time putting the cuffs on him, and Kyle didn't even try to exchange words with the agent as he felt the animosity that he seldomly tried to hide. Kyle was no different as he also felt hostile towards S201 since he was one of the agents who ambushed him and Jeremy.
Kyle was brought to a door that was nearly 25 feet from his cell, he swiped his card at a scanner before he walked through the door. It led to a series of stairs that were only lit with a lightbulb on each floor, it seemed to never end as they made it to what seemed to be the 5th floor in that series. S201 swiped his card again to enter the floor which almost looked like a different building.
There were multiple agents in white coats and they all appeared to be doctors but Kyle knew better than to think these were doctors deep down, like an animal's instinct he knew they had intentions far from helping and healing. They were more like mad scientists and they all stared at him as S201 brought to a room which passed multiple corridors and halls.
"You look much less than you did before, did you lose weight in that cell Kyle?" D124 asked as he saw Kyle walk through the door.
"…Probably." Kyle said as he saw the tools that sat on the table next to the agent.
"Don't worry about these…" He rolled the table away since it was on wheels. "As long as you answer my questions truthfully, we won't use them. I'm doctor " D124 tried to reassure. As he laid his hand out signaling for Kyle to sit.
Kyle felt deceit in his very breath but he took a seat in front of him before analyzing all of the tools on the table. "You are no doctor."
"What makes you say that ." D124 said as his tone quickly dropped.
"It's what I know." Kyle said.
"Ok well, I'll just cut straight to the questions then." D124 said. "Where did you come from?" He asked as grabbed the pen and notepad from the table behind him.
"I'm from Manhattan, New York." Kyle answered.
"When were you born?" D124 asked.
"April 4, 2004." Kyle answered in a apathetic tone.
"Were you born in New York?" D124 asked.
"Yes." He answered.
He only asked personal questions for what felt like a few minutes before he started moving towards other questions.
"Now these question you may not want to answer but I assure you, these are the most important." D124 said as he swayed his body a bit to show the tools.
Of course he was only just seeing how truthful Kyle would be as he could get those questions from the local hospital in Manhattan.
"So, why did you join ANM?" D124 asked.
"…." Kyle didn't answer.
"That's 1." D124 said. "How long have you been working with the ANM." He asked.
"…." Kyle didn't answer again.
"2… So where are your other two servants?" D124 asked knowing he wouldn't get an answer.
"They're safe." Kyle said.
"Hmm… You know the ANM and your servants won't be able to get you out of here. This isn't a regular prison." D124 said as he moved the table to the side.
"I wasn't expecting them to. I gave explicit orders for them to keep away from me." Kyle said as he looked at the table.
"I see…." D124 stood up and pressed a small button that was on the table.
S201 quickly walked into the room, made sure the door was shut and locked, then walked towards D124.
"2 questions were avoided. So if he doesn't decide to answer this one, you know what to do." D124 said before S201 nodded his head in agreement.
S201 pulled a plastic bag out his pocket, it was tied up and Kyle didn't wanna think much of it. Until he opened the bag, it was covered in the same smell as the bullet that his Drey. It was unmistakable.
So Kyle had no choice but to watch him take whatever it was out of the bag.
"Those are only here to make sure that the syringes work." D124 said as S201 pulled out silver-spiked knuckles out of the bag.
"…." Kyle stood quiet as he waited for the next question.
"….So, what is the goal of the ANM?" D124 asked.
"…" Kyle remained quiet again.
"That's 3. It's your turn." D124 said as he turned to the table.
Kyle was now looking up at S201 as he stood directly in front of him, adjusting the silver-spiked knuckles for his fists.
"You know, unlike the D-agents. I'm a soldier for humanity and you are no human so even if you are a kid. I'll have no problem breaking your soul." S201 said as he put his hands down.
"You're not doing a very good job protecting us-" Just before he could finish, it was almost like a boulder hit him perfectly on his face.
It pushed him off the chair and onto the ground, leaving a pain that he's never felt before. With blood leaking from his mouth and the agent standing above him. He never would've imagined that he'd be on this side of an attack.
"You. Are. No. Human." S201 said in an aggravated tone.
That's when it hit Kyle. "I'm no longer the hunter. I'm being punished for all the lives I've taken…." S201 picked him up. "I'm being punished for the sins I've committed as a human and it won't change until I change." He thought as he stood on his two feet.
"So where is the ANM located?" S201 asked as he put his hand on Kyle's shoulder and lowered his head to look him directly in his eyes.
"But it's all up to them to complete my transformation." He thought, ignoring whatever the agent told him.
*Sigh* S201 let out in disbelief before he punched Kyle in his gut.
"You are a monster set upon this world to kill humans, I will get as much information from you as I can. For all of the lives you and your servants have taken." S201 said as he watched Kyle fall to the ground in pain. "I'm not here to hear you scream, it's my duty as a soldier of humanity."
"This pain is nothing…. As long as my servants and the ANM are alive and safe, then this pain…. Means nothing." He barely uttered in between each cough.
"No matter how long you decide to keep this information from us, we'll get it out." D124 said as he tried to stick a syringe into Kyle's arm. However, it couldn't pierce his skin. "Keep going." He said before he sat down to switch the syringe's needle
