"Baekhyun stay out of the garden today" Sky shouted rushing after the human who was more than excited to be out in the sun. Over the course of the second week he had been there the weather was horrible, raining with fierce winds, it had been a drastic change from Korea.

Baekhyun blinked staring at the youngest twin who was standing before him with tears streaming down her cheeks. "Sky what's wrong, why are you crying?"

Skylar reached for Baekhyun's hands holding them in hers while the tears continued to pour, her breath was unsteady and her cheeks were rosy red. "I seen something that I don't quite understand, but it happens when you go out to the garden so please.." she took a moment to gather herself and the words "just don't go out into the garden today"

"You've seen something? Is there something out in the garden that's frightening you?"

"No" Sky quickly declined tightening her hold on Baekhyun's wrists. "Not outside, in my head.. it was like this daydream, something that hasn't happened yet or maybe will happen soon.."

"Wait so like you seen a possible future?" Baekhyun questioned trying to understand what exactly Sky meant since he was concerned about her wellbeing.  

"I don't know what I saw okay but please just stay out of the garden today please no matter what happens"

"Okay I promise, I'll stay out of the garden today"

Taking a deep breath Sky nodded her head before pulling herself away from the human, her arms wrapping themselves around her abdomen to try and comfort herself. "Thank you Baekhyun"

However before the human was able to comment or ask any further questions Skylar disappeared before his very eyes. He was left alone in the corridor, his brain a lot more confused then when the situation started.

"Hey sunshine, what's wrong you look like you've seen a ghost?" Chanyeol pouted turning the corner, his eyebrows immediately meeting in the centre of his forehead in worry and curiosity.  

"More like I don't understand what I just heard" Baekhyun admitted, allowing himself to be pulled into his mate's chest, almost instantly feeling safe and comforted. "Your sister sort of just freaked me out"

"Sky? Why, what did she do?"

"She said something about seeing a daydream or something that hasn't happened yet, she never told me what happened but apparently it was enough to spook her into coming and telling me to avoid the garden today"

"The garden? What could be so terrible about the garden?"

"It bets me" Baekhyun shrugged, his arms lifting so that they lay upon Chanyeol's shoulders. "She seemed pretty freaked out about it so I promised to stay away from it today, just so she could calm down"

"Alright if that's the case I'll ask the gardener to tend to your flowers for today" Baekhyun smiled looking up at his mate with a fond glance.

"Thank you" he whispered, standing up on his tip-toes in order to apply a kiss to his mate's lips. Chanyeol hummed in delight, his arms tightening around the smaller's waist.

"It's nothing really" Chanyeol confessed, his cheeks taking a turn on the red side out of embarrassment.

"I know but it means a lot to me, at least now the flowers will get attended to even though I thought I would be able to do it from now on"

Chanyeol cooed at the pout that formed on Baekhyun's lips, clearly the human had a soft spot for the colourful plants and since Chanyeol had a soft spot for Baekhyun he couldn't turn down anything he wanted. "You will sweetheart just not today alright?"

Baekhyun nodded and cuddled himself further into the taller's chest, his scent sending a calming sensation down Baekhyun's body. "I know.. but now that means that I'll have to find another thing to dull my boredom"

"Well I was just about go to the library, would you like to join me?" Chanyeol asked his head tilted waiting for Baekhyun's answer.

He felt movement on his chest making him look down at the soft black mop of hair that often tickled his chin whenever they were close enough. "I would love to, I don't think that I've been there before have I?"

"Nope, after all there is many places here that you have never been to, although it's nothing to be ashamed of because I'm pretty sure that even I haven't been everywhere and I've lived here every summer since I was young enough to remember"

"That does make me feel better" Baekhyun giggled, pulling himself out of their embrace in order to link their fingers together instead. Chanyeol grinned down at the excited male next to him before leading him by the arm through the halls of the mansion. "Maybe one day we can go exploring?"

"My schedule is free tomorrow and the day after and the day after that and-"

"That's good to know" Baekhyun teased sending the taller a sly wink paired perfectly with a smirk. Chanyeol shook his head at his mates terrible attempt to try and tease him but he had to admit it was sort of working.

"Don't try to tease me Baek it doesn't look good for my future Queen" Chanyeol stated, his eyes watching the shorter secretly.

"Oh so you're going to be one of those kings huh Princey?" Baekhyun gasped halting in his steps completely.

Chanyeol seemed taken aback by the new nickname but when the look of confusion went by without Baekhyun even sparing him a glance he couldn't help but want to know about what he meant. "What do you mean by that Baek?"

"You know those type of Royal's that don't touch each other in the street or when their followers are before them, sort of like Prince William and Kate from England"

"I am very aware of the British Royal family Baek" Chanyeol chuckled pressing his lips against his mate's forehead. "And I can promise you that will not happen between us, as you probably know I'm very affectionate towards you and I want the world to notice that" 

"So you're basically going to be claiming me in front of the world aren't you?" 

"Yep pretty much although you can't blame me for wanting to, I mean Baek you're beautiful and I need everyone to know that they don't stand a chance of being with you" 

"Of course not" Baekhyun huffed crossing his arms over his chest, staring up at his mate like he had just solved the world's problems. "Why would I ever want to them to have a chance with me while I already have my prince Charming" 

Chanyeol felt his cheeks flare up in excitement, he loved the idea of Baekhyun shouting out their relationship to the world, he loved the idea of the male casually turning down other people simply because of the fact he simply wasn't interested in anyone else apart from Chanyeol. He had expected Baekhyun would need to take more time about wrapping his head around the whole vampire human thing, but it was obvious that it didn't matter anymore. 

Baekhyun had come to peace with the way their situation was and it would be a mistake for people to think that he didn't hate it, of course he did everyone would. But there wasn't anything he needed to worry about because Chanyeol would be by his side throughout his human life, and if there came a time where the vampire would find another Baekhyun would understand that situation since it was bound to happen, he just wished that it would be his soul after having been reborn in a new body. Because at least then he could be with Chanyeol for eternity.

Death was never a conversation that they had talked about before, of course they had touched on the subject but only lightly. There was still a massive part of unspoken word between them, words that they were too heartbroken to say, words that would end in tears and ghost like kisses. Knowing all that he did Chanyeol was often fighting against his own heart on a daily basis. 

"Then let me lead my princess to the library hmm?" He whispered, stretching out his hand and offering it to Baekhyun. The smaller stared at his mate's outstretched hand for a moment before complying. Looping his arm through Chanyeol's Baekhyun held on tight as the giant steered them down the halls taking twists and turns that would often leave some people dizzy. The human was used to feeling dizzy by now, having been 'whooshed' around the house continuously by nearly all the vampires in the mansion. 

"Chanyeol I know you don't practically like to spend your time studying so why exactly are we here?" Baekhyun whispered, just in time to see the latter push open the grand oak double doors. The library stood tall with a high ceiling and an upper floor, bookcases covering every square inch of the walls. Books covered in leather or the hard material that Baekhyun could have sworn was used as a murder weapon before. Tables lined the floor, four chairs pressed up against the dark wood furniture. "This place really is beautiful" 

"Just some Royal business stuff Baby nothing too interesting, why don't you go find something to take your mind off my sister's warning, we have books in all languages Korean, English, Latin, French, German, Italian, Spanish, even some Greek but there are some lost languages in there too." 

Baekhyun looked around in awe, Korean was obviously going to his main focus but he wanted to broaden his English vocabulary, maybe then he would be able to communicate as well as learn from Katherine since he had heard her muttering English phrases to the staff constantly.  While Baekhyun was pursuing an interesting book among the selves along the back wall, Chanyeol ascended upstairs being sure to keep an eye on his mate from above. 

He had a reason for his secrecy though he didn't know what to expect about the knowledge he was hoping to achieve. When he was a child Chanyeol remembered being told stories of Vampire and Human folklore. Plot holes made him suspicious yet he never had the chance to develop further on his suspicions. 

One night when Chanyeol was old enough to remember, Suho had told him about a story that would have him continuously roll around in bed desperate to know if the words his Appa spoke were true. He never expected that his mate would be human so he figured he would never need to know the answer to his question yet as Chanyeol continued to think about this one memory in his head something within him cracked. 

Speeding his way down the stairs and over to the wall that held his family history Chanyeol tore the book from the shelf and settled it down on a table, his eyes wide as he looked over to Baekhyun who was engrossed in Greek myths and legends that had been translated into Korean. 

When he found the page he was searching hard for Chanyeol held his breath as he stared at his date of birth. 

November 27th 1901. 

"Baekhyun when is your birthday?" Chanyeol asked clearing his throat to hold his voice from cracking. Baekhyun who was too busy reading the book, didn't even glance up when he answered his mate's question. 

"May 6th 1992" 

"That's not right" He blurted looking at Baekhyun properly, before turning his gaze back to just below his birthday in the book. Baekhyun who was beyond confused looked up with raised eyebrows. 

"It has to be, the orphanage always celebrated my birthday on May 6th" 

"The date is probably right but the year isn't" Chanyeol blurted, his fingers running over the crinkled yellow paper of his family's history book. 

"Chanyeol you're starting to freak me out here" Baekhyun whispered standing up from the table and making his way over to his mate cautiously. When he was in armlength, he finally realised why his boyfriend was confused and slightly freaked out. 

New-born: Park Chanyeol

Parents: Wu Yifan and Kim Suho

Date of Birth: November 27th 1901 

First insight of mate: 1909 (age 8)

Further Details: Seen through the eyes of his mate for a split moment then felt the mate link harden 

"There was something that never made sense to me" Chanyeol admitted taking Baekhyun's hands in his own "I always felt a mate link with you Baekhyun which shouldn't have happened until the year you where born.." 

"You're trying to tell me that you had another mate before me?" Baekhyun questioned, already feeling his heart ache in the idea of Chanyeol possibility of Chanyeol falling for another. However, the tears in his eyes made Baekhyun halt his further accusations Chanyeol was seemed overjoyed. 

"No, you're my mate, our bond has never broke Baekhyun I don't know how or why but you were the boy I felt when I was young, you're my first and only mate" 

"How is that possible Chanyeol?!" Baekhyun shrieked trying to pry his arms away from the vampire's but he was reluctant to let him go. 

"Listen to me" He breathed pulling Baekhyun closer to him as best as he could, with the smaller fighting against him. "When a vampire's mate dies they feel that, they feel the connection they had melt away, they feel the pain that they felt, we become heartbroken and mourn the lose even if we have never met.. but Baekhyun I have never felt a lose, I have never felt our connection break, I've never felt pain I don't know how but you are the mate I felt all those years ago, you are the one for me ever since 1909" 

"What am I!?" Baekhyun yelled, his tears free falling down his cheeks. "How can I not remember living for that long Chanyeol?! If what you're saying is true then I am a lot older than I think I am" 

Chanyeol laughed and pulled the boy closer into his chest, feeling his own tears pool and cascade down his cheeks. The doors burst open and his family members stepped in looking both confused and curious. Chanyeol nodded towards the book he had left open on the table before focusing back on his crying mate, Baekhyun clumping his shirt material into his fists. 

Suho looked at the boy in surprise and awe. He never knew that this was the boy in which Chanyeol had felt before, he had figured his son's mate had passed and Chanyeol was rare enough to not have any side-effects yet now that he thought things through it was highly unlikely. 

"What are you?" Lay whispered looking between Chanyeol and Baekhyun before scratching his head in thought. Everyone shook their heads having not one thought on the matter yet when Baekhyun suddenly pushed Chanyeol away in favour of flipping through the pages of the history book, they had nothing to discuss. 

Baekhyun had questions about his past and being the mate of an old vampire family seemed like the key to unlocking those answers, and like hell he was going to stop until someone made up a story that made sense.
