"I'll meet you at our place later" San whispers against Wooyoung's wet lips and the prince just hums in agreement, a dazed look on his face.

After he'd speed walked away, throwing one last glance behind his shoulder at Wooyoung he smiles to himself and kept walking.

He walks past a few drows who smile weakly at him and San acts natural, smiling back even though it was clear he had no idea who any them were. 

"San! Hey wait up!" A voice calls out behind him and San scowls. He felt his eyes twitch at all the drawbacks. Nonetheless he takes in a deep breath and turns around with a fake sweet smile.

"Hey!" ..whoever you are, 'San' completes in his head.

"Where are you headed?" Leonidas smiles brightly at him, a large spear in his hand.

"Uhm- I'm meeting Wooyoung at the lake right now" San smiles.

"Ah I see. I was gonna spar with some of the guys" He lifts up the spear a little. The wind blow his short cropped platinum white hair a little. "We'll be out in the fields till dusk. Feel free to join us after your little date" He teases, wiggling his brows knowing San would get annoyed at him but was surprised when San simply laughs.

"Yeah sure thing. Later" He smiles and waves as he turns.

Leonidas arches his brow as he watches the male's retreating back but he doesn't think much of it and just turns to keep walking on his way.

When Leonidas doesn't follow him San sighs with relief. He sneakily made his way to the front gates, ducking behind a wall. The drow pacing back and forth up at the watch tower was absentmindedly whistling to himself and playing with a small knife in his hand.

San shifts his gaze to the main hut where he knew other soldiers were in. He knew he'd have to take them out first. So he walks out from his hiding spot and was spotted within seconds.

"Hey!" A female guard calls out to him from a few feet away. "What the hell do you think you're doing here? Civilians aren't allowed anywhere near the front gates. We're on lockdown"

San just keeps walking towards the hut. "Yah! I said stop!" Instead of stopping though he pulls a small knife from where it was strapped to his thigh and quickly turns around and throws it at her, cleanly jamming into her throat and causing her to stumble back before falling to the ground.

"Zena, everything ok out there?" One of the male soldiers from inside the hut calls out to the woman who was now dead in the dirt and gagging on her own blood.

Silence.

"She probably saw a squirrel and ran after it or something" A different man playfully says as he throws down a card on the pile. He takes a big drag from his cigarette and blows it out as smoke. "Go fish" He says to the first man, whom he was playing against.

"Zena?" The first soldier repeats, ignoring the game of cards he playing and standing up in high alert. He pulls out the machete strapped to his hips and slowly made his way towards the door.

"Will you relax?" The soldier that was smoking rolls his eyes at him.

One second she was yelling at something the next it was dead silent? Something's up. "Who's out there? Show yourself now" He calls out menacingly.

As soldier number one man his way towards the door that's when San walks into view. The soldier attempts to swing his weapon then stops when he sees who it was just as San throws his hands up in surrender. "Woah woah, I come in peace" He says with those fake wide eyed innocence.

The guard sighs in exasperation, hand on his chest. "Fucking hell, San? You scared me" He laughs at himself, lowering his weapon. "I'm sorry but we're on lockdown right now. No one goes in or out of town"

San pouts. "That's unfortunate.." His gaze was on the floor but then he slowly looks up, eyes flashing grey which took the guard back seeing as San's eyes are supposed to be hazel. "I guess I'll just have to kill you all and open it up myself" His voice was dark.

The man blinks at him. He wasn't sure he even heard him right. "Wha-" Before he could even get a word out San slashes his throat, creating a deep cut.

His eyes were blown wide and his hands flies up to his throat as blood spurted out. The other soldier who was smoking, jumps up to his feet. "What the fuck?!" He yells as he stared wide eyes in horror at his friend who collapses to the ground, blood from his neck dripping on the floor.

"You piece of shit! I always knew you couldn't be trusted" He immediately launches himself at San with his own machete and San dodges each swing. Each kick. Each spin maneuver and attack. And all so effortlessly.

"You bore me" San says monotonously as he dodges another swing resulting in the soldier slashing at a table in the room. "I've given you the chance to land a hit and now I'm bored. It's my turn" He smirks and spin kicks at him, swinging his fist and throws a punch backed with some vampire strength straight into his jaw. The man groans out in pain, he tries to swing his machete again and San easily catches his wrist and twists causing him to drop it.

"Now stay still" San says in a voice that wasn't even his, his hazel eyes now bright grey. Dark veins stretching around his eyes and fangs peeks past his smiling lips. And within a second he throws his head back and sinks his teeth into the man's neck. He drank until he was full then he snapped his neck, tossing the dead drow to the side.

Blood dripped from his fangs and lips. He grins to himself when he sees the two bodies on the floor around him and the room a complete mess. He turns and leaves the room, his boot clicking against the ground. Onto to the next soldier. Bodies were dropping and after he'd taken out the last one up in the watch tower he goes and opens the gates, rolling the lever by himself.

"Ok, I did it. Are you gonna keep me waiting or what?" He mutters in annoyance as he goes and stands in front of the open gate.

Then suddenly a woman appears in front of him. Her knee length boots a crisp black leather. Grey pants and black long coat draped over her shoulders. Her lips, blood red and eyes an ice grey. Her curly hair left down and blowing in the wind slightly. Chiyo smiles at San. "Well done"

"You sure do love a dramatic entrance" He chuckles at her, running his hand through his hair and turning to walk back in. He looked like San but his voice was someone else completely.

"You seem to have had a little too much fun" She laughs to herself as he walks behind him, glancing at the dead and even dismembered bodies littered about. One arm here. A head there. Looked like a scene out of a Saw movie.

San licks his bloodied lips. "What can I say, I enjoy playing with my food" He smirks. "When's Jaejoong's army getting here?" He asks as they made their way towards a cave, where he'd been hiding out for the last couple days.

"Few minutes. Which is enough time for me to set up the barrier. Where's the druid?" She walks beside him, side glancing at the male.

"Relax. I got him. He's in the cave. And so is everything you asked for" The San look-a-like waves it off before she started nagging as usual.

They arrive at the cave and chained to the wall was Yunho who immediately perks up at their entrance. Chiyo smiles triumphantly at the sight of the male. The candle lit space casted shadows on her face highlighting her cheek bones and making her look like something out of a nightmare.

"It's been a while Yunho" She grins as she made her way towards him and he scowls, his brows furrowed with anger.

"Stay the fuck away from me!" He yells out, his eyes flashing momentarily before dimming out like a dying light bulb. He wasn't the same scared little boy he was 4 years ago. Though he was still scared of his own powers he knew how to handle himself. But he was frustrated because while that San look-a-like was gone he'd been trying to break himself out of the chains but it felt like his powers were being capped by something. He would feel a burst and it was immediately dry out.

"I wouldn't" She warns. "I made those little bracelets specifically for you" She glances at the chains then begins setting up for her big spell, gathering the ingredients San had collected for her. "They're nature energy blockers. You draw your power from the earth. Those block you from taking the energy and using it"

Yunho bites his bottom lip till he drew blood, scowling at the two strangers. One of which was wearing his friend's face like some sort of costume. It made him sick.

San sits back on a chair propped up to the side, using some of the water in the bucket to clean the blood of his face.

"Yeonjun.." Chiyo says, glancing at the male. "How long are you going to keep wearing that ridiculous disguise?" She scoffs as she grinded up something with a mortar and pestle.

"Hmm.. I should probably change back, huh?" He giggles as he picks up a small asymmetrical shard of mirror and looks at himself. He runs his fingers over San eyebrows, his high cheeks bones and finally his lips. Memories of the lewd kiss he shared with Wooyoung comes back to memory. The way the prince held him delicately and kissed him back with so much want causes a smile to stretch on his lips.

"Y'know... I'm actually kind of getting attached to the new look. Plus, Wooyoung seems to like it" He says with a mischievous grin.

Chiyo glares at him. "What? I didn't do anything to jeopardize the mission I swear. A guy can't have a bit of fun anymore?" Yeonjun says playfully. Slowly he shifts back to his real face. The white streak in his hair, disappears. His lips becomes much fuller and his pale skin even paler. Hazel eyes becoming misty grey. His eyelashes long and wispy as he blinked.

"I mean I personally don't get what he sees in that San guy anyways-" He scoffs as he falls back in the chair after his shift.

"I don't care about your little crush. Be quiet, I'm trying to concentrate" Chiyo snaps at him.

"Ok ok sheesh" He mutters. "Grumpy hag"

The spell Chiyo was rushing to finish was the barrier spell she'd done several hundred years ago the night all druids were killed. Except not nearly as strong as that one since the strength of drows wasn't comparable to druids.

Last time she'd channeled the power in one of the 5 blood stones to create the barrier, nullifying all the powers of druids as long as they were inside. This one would be to keep all drows from leaving. It didn't require as much power which is why she needed Yunho. To use him and draw mana and nature energy from the earth in order to complete the spell. Something she knew she couldn't do alone.

It would be like an invisible barricade. While all the vampires feasted and killed them all, one.. by.. one. Until they were all dead.

Screams. People running for their lives as vampires catch civilians and ripped at their necks like butter. It was complete mayhem.

"We can't leave!" Someone cries out pushing at the air once they reached the emergency exit out of the village.

"There's a barrier. Fuck! We're fucked" A man cries out in panic. People scream, cry and topple over each other to get out but there was no leaving.

A few drows as well as soldiers tried fighting back with weapons and their drowic mana and they managed to take a couple of vampires down but it wasn't enough. They were outmatched.

Finally, Jaejoong arrives on a horse, two other witches riding in beside him. At the entrance of the town was Yeonjun and Chiyo. Jaejoong grins at the sight of her, making her insides flutter.

He climbs down his horse, a black coated stallion. "You look absolutely stunning, as usual" He comments, pulling her to his chest. She smiles up at him.

"You're fashionable late, as usual" She whispers out as she watches his grey eyes.

"Is the barrier up?" He asks, stroking her hair.

"Yeah"

"And the druid?"

"Protected somewhere safe. As long as he's alive the barrier isn't going anywhere" She inches up to his height up, silently pleading for him to kiss her as a reward.

"And what about you? Do you need to be alive for the barrier to stay up?" He doesn't give her what she wants though. Just simply caressing her cheek.

"No" She whispers against his lips.

Before she could so much as blink Jaejoong shoves his hand into her chest, clutching her heart. Chiyo gasps, eyes wide with horror as she held unto Jaejoong tightly.

"Shh sh" He whispers at her as she chokes out a cry, her eyes wet with tears as he stared at him.

"J-jae-" She gasps, the tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Shh" He purrs under his breath then kisses the side of her head, pressing his lips into her curls. "You've done so much for me, Chiyo. And I'll forever be grateful to you for that" He whispers in her ear.

"But I'm just so bored of you now. I hope you can understand" He says and pulls back to look her in her eyes as she watched him with so much pain and betrayal in her gaze. More silent tears streamed down her cheeks.

She pulls in whatever last reserves of strength she had left and inches on her toes, her lips to his ear. "Y-you won't win" Was all she rasps out before he pulls his hand back, pulling out her heart.

She gasps, taking her last breath. Her skin slowly turned grey and mummified as she fell limp in his arms. He couldn't help but grin at her last words. He kisses her head once more before gently dropping her body and bloodied heart to the ground. "My dear, I fear I've already won" He mutters.

Yeonjun stares blankly at the scene. Chiyo's dead body laying on the floor. Of course he knew Jaejoong was going to kill her. He'd been wanting her gone for a long time now but just couldn't find a capable heretic to take her place. Until him.

"Yeonjun," Jaejoong turns to him and the vampire-witch looks up at the older man. "Make sure nothing happens to the druid and the barrier stays up. I'm gonna go find my prized possession"

"Yeah whatever" He waves dismissively at him and turns to leave.

"Where the hell are you going?" Jaejoong demands.

"To have some fun? If we're gonna kill off an entire race tonight let me at least enjoy myself" Yeonjun snaps back.

Jaejoong immediately vampire sped in front of him, stopping him in his tracks. "You are to go back to the druid and guard it" He orders. Yeonjun couldn't help the laugh and escapes his lips.

"You've gotta be kidding me" He laughs hard, doubling over and clutching his sides. "Yah- do I look like that hag, Chiyo, to you? So you think because she ran around and sucked your dick like a needy slut that I'm gonna do the same? You must've lost your mind" All signs of amusement leaves his face and he glares at Jaejoong straight in the eyes.

Jaejoong grabs his throat, his eyes flashing but Yeonjun simply grunts and grabs his wrist away from his neck, overpowering the man's strength. "I'm older, stronger and more powerful than you, Jaejoong" Yeonjun growls as he continued to twist Jaejoong's wrist till a crack was heard. The man didn't even flinch. Yeonjun stared deadly daggers at him though and eventually he released his grip on Jaejoong's now broken wrist.

"Don't ever forget that. K?" Yeonjun slowly grins at him playfully before patting his cheek twice and brushing past him.
