Present 

*Ever Night Club*

"Look into my eyes..... " Gayo whispers, catching Wangji's gaze, and Wangji stares at the red orbs. They are beautiful. They are mesmerizing. 

"You are mine now," Gayo adds, after a second; Wangji stops struggling and nods. 

Gayo pats his head, "Tell me, Lan, what is it that you are working on in your research department?"

"A drug to keep me safe forever."

"Safe? How so?"

"Unchanging, no need to feed, stay the same for eternity. Next to my love. Always toge.."

Gayo cuts him off, "And when will it be ready?"

"I have it," Wangji answers, pointing at his pant's pocket; Gayo takes it out and holds it in front of Wangji, and he nods again. 

"How come you are carrying it with you?" Gayo asks, getting curious. 

"I was going to take it. To be next to Xian."

Gayo nods. "Your lover?"

Wangji nods. 

Gayo turns Wangji's face and makes him look at Shin, "You see that beautiful girl."

Wangji nods.

Gayo continues in a silky smooth voice, "She is your master from today. You and your body belong to her." 

Wangji nods again. 

"Be good, and do whatever she tells you to do. Now, tell me, who do you belong to?"

Wangji lifts his eyes and looks at Shin; Gayo smiles, his eyes fall on something shiny under Wangji's shirt. He looks at Wangji, who is still looking at Shin, and puts his hand inside Wangji's shirt to get to the thing that had caught his eyes, but before he can touch it, Wangji growls and starts struggling once again. 

*Lan mansion*

"Xian... Xian... For the love of everything good, please wake up." Xian hears Zhau's voice in the darkness. He is floating once again. 

"Xian, you can't fucking do this to me! You said that you felt that this was going to happen. Did it mean that I was going to freaking lose you like this!!!!" Zhau yells, shaking Xian's shoulder. 

Xian winces, "Ah.. Gege?" he opens his eyes to see Zhau looming over him with a concerned, almost panicked look on his face. 

He sits up a little too fast, and his head spins, "He needs me. We need to go to him now, or it will be too late." 

Zhau supports him and helps him stand up. He knows that Xian will never agree to stay here while they go to save Wangji. Moreover, both Zhau and Shen had felt that even if they wanted to, they would not be able to stop Xian from doing what he wants. 

Zhau passes Xian his hanky, "Just tell us where."

Xian accepts it and wipes his face, "The Ever Night Club. But before that, I need to do something."

*Ever Night Club*

Gayo's eyes widen, and his face darkens. He grabs Wangji's collar, "Did you just try to stop me!?"

Wangji growls again, "Don't belong to you. Belong to her."

Gayo blinks, and a second later, lets out a humorless laugh, "I am not touching you, I just want what's around your neck."

Wangji calms down, and Gayo pulls out the shell locket from around Wangji's neck. 

"What is this?" He asks, turning it between his fingers. 

"A gift."

"Who gave it to you?" Gayo asks, lifting it to his eye level and checking it. 

"Xian."

"Your lover?" Gayo asks, walking closer to Shin. 

"Not my lover," Wangji answers expressionlessly. 

"Ah, yes, you belong to Shin now. He is not your lover anymore." Gayo says, observing the locket, "By the way," Gayo steps closer to Wangji once more, "You are mine too. Never forget that. It's my blood that runs through you now."

Wangji nods. 

Gayo turns Shin to face him. "Sister, isn't this locket beautiful?" Gayo asks Shin, who is once again smiling innocently. The woman nods, looking excited. 

"It's yours then, darling," Gayo whispers, putting the locket around her neck. 

Shin takes the locket between her palms, "Pretty... Pretty... Pretty." she repeats, running in circles around Gayo. 

"Master, she still doesn't seem like herself," XiChen says hesitantly. 

Gayo nods, "Maybe she will feel like herself once he fucks her nice and proper. It has always calmed her down and improved her mood."

XiChen nods, "Yes, master."

The two turn to leave Shin with Wangji, when Shin starts screaming once more; Gayo immediately goes to her. He tries to hold her in her arms, but she pushes him away. "I hate you!" 

"Shin!" Gayo exclaims and slaps her. 

"You are despicable!" She yells, touching her face and lips. She chuckles; it sounds more like she is judging him, "Yes, this is what you were always capable of."

Gayo tries to approach her once more, "How dare you? After all I have done for you!"

Shin steps back, shaking her head. Her eyes land on XiChen, "Chen!" 

*Lan mansion*

Xian and Zhau go to the lower floor, where Xian picks up the Jade knife and puts it into his pocket. 

Zhau tilts his head and looks at the ornamental knife, "Brother, in situations where pain needs to be inflicted, a gun is better." He shows off his gun to Xian. 

Xian takes the gun and whispers something, before handing it back to Zhau. "Now, it's better," Xian smirks. 

"What did you do?" Zhau asks, checking his weapon; Xian doesn't answer. "Where is Mr. Zhu?"

Even before he can finish asking, Shen arrives with a set of keys. "Let us go." He says, throwing the bunch to Zhau. 

Xian shakes his head, "We don't have time for that."

*Ever Night club*

Shin runs to XiChen and hugs him. There is affection in her eyes. 

"Don't touch him!" Gayo screams and flings her away from XiChen. XiChen's eyes widen, and he gasps, but Gayo misses it. His eyes glued to were Shin had fallen. 

"What is wrong with you, sister!?" Gayo questions Shin, once again trying to ask her in a calm tone. 

Red tears make their way down Shin's cheeks. She closes her eyes and ears, "No. No. No. I didn't. It's a lie... No. No. Why? Why?" she mutters, putting her head between her hands. 

Gayo doesn't understand what is happening to his sister. 'She was doing ok a few minutes ago. What triggered her?' he wonders, looking at Shin, who keeps muttering senseless things. A few moments later, she looks between XiChen and Gayo and throws up. 

'Blood!' She looks at the blood that she has puked out. She wipes her tears, 'Blood.' her mind supplies. She looks at Gayo with pure hate in her eyes, "So it's true then. What I am seeing is true. You made me into the thing I hated most."

Gayo gasps, "What did you say?"

Shin keeps looking at Gayo with contempt in her eyes, "What did I say? Ha!." She looks around, "What is this place?"

Wangji looks at the door, before continuing to look at Shin. 

"Aaaa!" She winces again and holds her chest. "Chen, I am sorry. I am so sorry," she apologizes between sobs. 

XiChen keeps his eyes glued to the floor. No one sees his tears. 

"Why are you apologizing to him!?" Gayo yells, holding Shin by her collar and lifting her. "He is mine!" he snaps, but before he can say more, he hears two gunshots, and the door to the cellar opens. 

*A few minutes ago*

*At the Ever night club entrance*

A hole appears near the entrance of Ever Night club out of thin air, and Xian, along with Zhau and Shen, step through it. The opening closes and disappears. The three men walk to the entrance of the club. The bouncer stops them, "The club is not open for business yet." 

Zhau takes out his badge and shows it to the man with a cocky expression on his face. "They are with me," Zhau informs, walking inside the club. The trio enters, and Shen closes the door behind them. 

Xian closes his eyes and sends a few blue sparks towards the door. "No one can enter, and no one can leave. No sound shall leave this room." He states. Almost immediately, a few ordinary looking people stand up from the bar table and growl, before shifting into werewolves. 

Some employees, who are busy cleaning the chairs and tables, scream. They try to leave the room, but before they can, the doors close on their own. 

Zhau is taken aback, for the creatures look nothing like how Shen and Wangji look when they shift. These creatures look unnatural. 

"I guess we know now what Jin pharmaceutical was working on," Zhau says, pulling out his gun and pointing it at the creatures. 

Once again, Xian chants a spell and throws a handful of blue sparks around them. It creates a blue circle around the brothers.

"Gege, use your gun. It won't kill them, but it will slow them down. It will be easier for Shen to finish them off." Xian suggests as the creatures nod at each other and attack all of a sudden. 

Shen shifts and attacks. Zhau shakes his head, "Xian, they are human. This is against the law."

"Gege, they are not human. Their souls are unclean, almost absent. I can feel it." Xian explains, and Zhau reluctantly aims his gun at them. He doesn't shoot. But when he sees that one of them is about to attack Shen, he pulls the trigger. 

The werewolf falls to the floor and winces. Zhau shoots till only humans are left standing. With Zhau's bullets weakening the creatures, Shen promptly ends them.

Xian looks at the humans in the room. They are cowering in fear. Xian throws blue sparks at them, and they fall unconscious. A blue circle forms around them.

The three men walk further inside the club. It's like a labyrinth, but Zhau guides them through it without difficulty. 

Then they arrive at what looks like a humongous morgue, where more than twenty coffins are lying around. 

"Vampires?" Zhau asks. 

"Night creatures, they sleep during the day. Mr. Zhu, please open the covers and Gege, shoot them in the heart. I am going ahead. After you are done, come to the basement." Xian instructs and looks at Shen, "Mr. Zhu, stay here and make sure we don't get unnecessary visitors."

The two men nod, and Xian leaves. 

He takes the stairs to go to the basement level. But just as he is about to take the next flight of stairs, some men block his way. They growl.

'Zhu bloodline.' Xian's mind supplies. 

"Shuuuuuu!" Xian whispers, putting a finger in his lips; the men immediately fall to their keens.

"Stay there. Don't move till I don't tell you." He whispers once more. The men nod and let Xian pass. 

When he approaches the lowermost floor, he feels Wangji's presence. 'My Jun, I am here.'

He waits for a few seconds, and Zhau joins him. Xian gestures his brother to shoot at the door's latch. 

Zhau shoots twice, and the door falls open. 

"Who dares to enter my home!?" Gayo bites out and flings Shin to the corner of the room. 

The chain holding the shell locket breaks and falls away from Shin's neck; Xian and Zhau enter. 

As soon as Gayo sees them, his anger subsides. He smiles, "Look who we have here; it's the pesky, persistent officer Zhau."

Zhau aims his gun at Gayo, "You are under arrest for kidnapping and torturing Mr. Lan. You have a right to remain silent. Anything you say or do, can be held against you in the court of law."

Shin stands. "This human smells great." She says, advancing towards Zhau.

Gayo chuckles and looks at Shin lovingly, "Awwwww, she is back to being herself again."

Shin looks at Gayo and purrs, "Brotherrrrr." and keeps walking closer to Zhau. 

"Madam, I am taken. Please refrain from coming any closer, or I will shoot you." Zhau says confidently. 

Shin is not used to being refused. Anger flashed across her face. She fangs out and attacks; Zhau shoots. 

Things happen in quick successions. 

"Nooooooooooo!" XiChen yells, pushing Zhau in the chest with full force. Zhau's back hits the wall.

Xian runs to Zhau. "No.....gege!"

'Gege!?...So Zhau is Xian's brother!' Gayo realizes. 

Xian picks up Zhau in his lap, and his hands touch warm blood flowing from the back of Zhau's head. Zhau falls unconscious. 

XiChen runs to Shin. He holds her before she falls to the floor. "Shin! Princess!" He shakes her shoulder. 

Gayo runs to Shin and pushes XiChen away from her, "She will be fine. XiChen, have you forgotten, bullets don't harm us!"

XiChen sits next to Shin. Silent tears make their way down his face. Gayo lays Shin down and looks at Xian, before walking to Wangji. He starts unshackling Wangji. 

Xian looks at Gayo, "Why did you take him!?"

"Do you love him, boy?" Gayo asks, menacingly. Xian nods. 

"But he doesn't love you, boy. He loves the girl your brother just shot. What do you think he will do if I let him go?"

Xian remains silent 

"He will kill you. Because he belongs to me now."

Xian puts Zhau down and stands up. He looks at Gayo without fear in his eyes, "He can never hurt me."

"I will be the judge of that," Gayo says, before removing the last pair of shackles binding Wangji's legs. 

Wangji growls and fangs out. In two quick strides, he closes the distance between them. He pulls Xian close and sinks his fangs into the nape of Xian's neck. 

"Ahhhhhh! Jun... " Xian moans and winces before closing his eyes. He stops moving, and his body goes limp in Wangji's arms.
