ADRIEN
The fear in his eyes, he felt as if he was staring into the grim reaper's gaze when the vampire sentenced him to death. "No! I don't want to di-"

His plead was cut off when the vampire clutched his neck and Adrien couldn't speak, he couldn't do anything. He felt paralyzed and he felt his heart beat faster when he felt something sharp touch his neck.

"WAIT!!!"

And just like that, Adrien was spared. 

His entire body was shivering and he could barely register what was happening. He stared at his savior- with his blond hair, he looked like an angel, his wonderful angel- and tried to listen to every word he spoke. Adrien could barely keep up with what his savior was crying about, but he had managed to make the killer vampire go away, so he was obviously a good person! 

And after the man regained his composure and greeted him, Adrien titled his head and then gave him a smile. "...Adrien."he murmured, grasping his hand.

"Thank you, Valente."he said sincerely. 

At that moment, the frightening woman appeared. Adrien froze and was about to say something, but the woman just kissed Valente's forehead and left as quickly as she appeared. "Um...Uh...well at least she didn't try to kill me this time...she must...like you."

JU-ON
"UUUGGHH ❤"

The sudden appearance of a beautiful man speaking to her host caused her to come out of hiding. She kissed the gorgeous wizard on his forehead before fading away. 

JECHT
"My personality?"he repeated, but Jecht's anger only increased. "Ah, I understand even more now! That sneaky bastard with his hidden meanings! The wizard intended to insult my personality, did he? Rainbow hair? Is he trying to say something is wrong about us, Trixxtal, by turning my hair this color? HOW DARE HE INSULT YOU. He will PAY."he shouted. Jecht, despite his enraged shouting, managed to hear Trixxtal's suggestion.

The vampire paused his rant and cracked a gleeful grin. "YES,"he agreed eagerly, "Yes, he shall die. The damned wizard will finally die. In his sleep sounds too painless though, don't you think Trixxtal? We shall have to think of better ways for him to die on our way there. Oooh, I love it when we play murder."

Jecht, finally calmed down, whipped out his own phone. He bought only the best and up to date technology, so his was a similar model to Trixxtal's. 

"Hello Ryuu-oh? I interrupted another fight with your brother, didn't I? Hello, Ryo, I didn't know you were back from your mountain training already. Anyways, tell your father that Trixxtal and I are coming to visit. Yes, I will bring you both presents. Well, see you soon."

After the call ended, Jecht smiled at Trixxtal. "Well, we should get ready for our trip. Come on, Trixxtal, let's go pack our clothes!"he exclaimed excitedly, grabbing the blond's wrist and pulling him towards their bedroom.

RYUUNOSUKE
"You son of a bitch, I am going to slit your throat."he growled, dodging a punch from his brother. He wished he had brought a dagger with him so he could have actually slit Ryo's throat like he wanted. Ryuu got hit with another kick that sent him onto the ground, consequently sending his cell phone flying out of his pocket. "Bastard, if my phone breaks because of you I'll-"

He heard his ringtone all of a sudden and paused, but that moment of distraction let him get hit in the face by Ryo again. "Fuck."he muttered, scrambling on the ground to grab his ringing phone. He recognized the theme and knew Jecht was calling. "Quit your shit, Grandpa is calling."he explained as he answered the phone, placing it on speaker to rub it in his brother's face that Jecht was calling him first this time.

"Hey grandpa! I was just in the middle of kicking Ryo's ass. You don't have to greet that asshole! And alright, I'll tell him. Are you giving me a gift again? Fine, but you don't have to get Ryo a gift. See you soon, bye."

He shut his phone and glared at his brother. "I'm outta here, I don't have time to put up with you!"he shouted, quickly retreating from Ryo and running down the hall. 

VENCENTIO
Thankfully, he met Marcellina on his way to his room.

"I appreciate you taking me to my room."he thanked, a weary smile on his face as he stood in his doorway. 

"No problem boss!"she reassured cheerfully, waving as Vencentio shut his door. 

He sighed and when he finally made it to his bed, the vampire fell into a deep sleep.

MARCELLINA
After escorting Vencentio to his room, the vampiress walked down the hallway attempting to figure out the situation. She noticed a few people waking up from losing a fight and heard rumors of Vencentio being brought to the fortress by a human, some sort of spirit causing destruction, and another fight breaking out between Protettore's sons. So far she only confirmed Vencentio's return and she frowned, wondering what kind of spirit could be causing havoc.

She hoped that it did not destroy any of her clothes. That would be devastating.

Marcellina heard footsteps approaching and barely had time to react as one of Protettore's children, Ryuunosuke she thought, ran past her. She blinked and looked behind her, wondering where he was running off to. She shrugged her shoulders and continued her walk in order to find Valente. Her best friend was a wizard, so perhaps he knew about spirits.

KRO
Kro narrowed his eyes at the human before him and resisted a sneer. "You expect me to work with children?"he spat, pushing the documents away from him. The papers slid from the folder and nearly fell off of the table.

An elderly man stared down the demon coolly, pressing his fingers together. "Mr. Gyll, I-"

"That is Lord Gyll,"the demon interrupted immediately, "to you, human."

The man did not respond for a moment and merely kept his face expressionless in front of the demon. "Lord Gyll, then, I assure you that their youth will not be a hindrance. Mr. Evans and Ms. Harper are-"

"Inexperienced in real combat, no doubt, only in little fights with vampires they can barely hold their own against. What did that file say about that Eric Evans human? Something about petty mind tricks and kissing as his power, that sounds pathetic, at least the female seems to show decent potential."hissed Kro, clearly unhappy.

"You should not underestimate them..."the man remarked and Kro growled.

"Is that a threat, human? I do not need you to find my master,"the demon scowled, "This alliance is merely for convenience sake - I can take on a cowardly wizard and a handful of vampires on my own. You have no unique abilities like the young humans you command, so do not speak to me about battle when you have not experienced the dangers of war yourself."

The man frowned at the demon's arrogance but he did not want to anger him further. He needed to proceed with cautious with such a dangerous ally. "Yes, you have made that quite clear these past few days...well, the operation will not commence until more data has been gathered. I do not know where you are currently staying, but if you keep your end of the deal, then feel free to take stay here if you'd like. Everything you need to know is in the file. It might be beneficial to meet your comrades, too."he advised.

The demon just waved his hand absently. "Very well,"he acquiesced suspiciously easily, "I shall remain in this building and not harm anyone. That is what you desire, right? To keep tabs on the vile demon. Lucky for you, this arrangement is favorable for both of us." Kro stood up from his seat and grabbed the files in front of him before stepping out of the door.
