In my free time I would steal a sword or a gun or arrows that blew up when you shot them from the weapons vault in Krim. Even though the glass was indestructible, it wouldn't hurt to at least try, it was so much better than sitting around and watching so uselessly. As for the key of the vault, I stole it off of the sleeping guard next to me.

I could tell my father had delivered my message, since Taehyung looked a little more calm. The wizard came back in the morning, and so did Nova with some snacks for me, I hadn't managed to find anything to eat since yesterday. The days passed so so slowly, it was only the 29th now, he'd only been stuck in there for 2 days but it felt like so much longer.

"It's his birthday tomorrow..." Nova sighed, holding a little box covered with wrapping paper. I felt so bad, he was really going to spend his 17th birthday in a jail cell alongside a serial killer vampire who could wake up any second to just have his meal.

The wizard was almost done, maybe he'd even finish it by tomorrow, just in time for a little birthday dinner for Taehyung. I sat down on the chair, and tried to take a sip of water, but then I looked at Taehyung who looked oh so dehydrated. I put back down the water and tried to get comfortable in the chair, throwing over the blanket Nova had bought for me.

And then I looked inside, a shivering Taehyung, lips purple from the lack of layers. "Son of a bitch," I gritted my teeth, yanking off the blanket because of the immense amount of guilt I was feeling. I hugged myself and flickered my eyes shut, drifting to sleep.

A couple hours later

-thud- I rubbed my eyes, annoyed thinking the guard was sleeping like an animal as usual until I realised he was taking a day off today, and I was the only one here... My eyes quickly ran to the glass door, it had blue blood smeared all over it. A thing was speeding around the jail cell, the vampire had awoken. Taehyung would be able to protect himself if the only spells he knew weren't ones needed to snoop around. Iraculous is only a stun spell there's only so much he can do with it. Acceo! He should use acceo and get that vampire off the ground so he can't touch him.

"ACCEO!" I could hear him scream which made me jump in excitement, "yes! Good job-"

I cut myself off noticing his spell couldn't even touch the vampire, he was too fast for Taehyung to handle. Suddenly Zanira; the vampire, pushed him to the door, through the glass I could see Taehyung leaning up against the wall near the door before fainting. C'mon Tae, wake up, please please. Zanira bent down to his level, and looked over to his neck, licking his lips in hunger. "No no NO!" I banged my bare hands on the glass door, using all my strength to hit it again and again.

"Seems we hast a visitor towards the other side of the door," Zanira looked at the glass, it was almost as if he could actually see me but that's not possible. He purposely played around with Taehyung's unconscious body, threatening to break one of his bones in an instant.

"Just allow me out wouldst you? I think I'll let him go if you do." He chuckled, laughs ringing in my ear, it reminds me of the day they killed Seojun, it reminds me of how I let myself sit there uselessly and watch him die. I'm not losing someone again, I refuse. I took a deep breath, eyes full of tears that weren't only worried, they were fucking mad. "URGH!"

I screamed while fallen on my knees, one last time, banging my hands on the door with full force.

It broke.

I watched the pieces of glass shatter.

I looked down at my bruised hands, not understanding how on earth I had just done that. The vampires eyes lit up, they were on fire. "Thou smell like human," in an instant there were hands around my throat, smashing me against a wall. He took my hands and bit into them, sucking my blood, making me groan, suddenly he stopped. And ran to the other side of the cell.

"What, does my blood taste bitter darling? What's wrong with your face..." I looked over to the vampire, who looked terrified, "why is a vampire so squeamish of blood, that's ironic." I tilted my head, looking over at Taehyung who had regained consciousness.

-drip- although I had covered my bitten hand with my other one to prevent more bleeding, the blood still dropped on the floor, but I didn't care to look at it, it's just blood. "Oh you're so fucking done..." Taehyung snickered, looking over at Zanira with the last bit of energy he had. "Huh..." I followed Tae's eyes, and looked down at my hands.

Purple.

Purple blood. Purple blood was dripping down, the more red that came out of me the more it transformed into a purple colour. Suddenly my entire body was lifted up, a violet light surrounded me, holding me up in mid air.

An ethereal feeling rushed through my veins, it felt like it was recharging me. I felt like me. That feeling was interrupted as I dropped onto my knees, I looked down at my hands, oh so confused on what to do.

"Believe."

Taehyung muttered, making me ball my hands into fists before letting go, I exerted the brightest lavender light I had ever seen, right from the palm of my hands. My pupils slowly jogged up from the floor, looking the frozen vampire straight in the eye. From the glass behind him I could see my reflection, my eyes were glowing violet. I glared into Zanira's eyes before lifting myself off of my knees, and off the ground. I didn't cast any spell, I just believed, just thought of what I wanted to do and it was happening.

"A malefic. I bethought thee a myth."

"A vampire, bethought you a... vampire. Drop the olden time English talk would you, I get it's been 200 years you've been imprisoned, but instead of sleeping all the time like a bum you could've used it wisely and stayed up to date." I looked down at him, "you talk an awful lot for someone who should be killing me, not so scary are you malefic?" He raised his eyebrow, "you can't hurt me if I'm too fast for your petty spells to even touch." He chuckled.

"Is it? What you're not realising is that I'm good at stalling, and the longer I keep my light out, the more powerful my spells will be, so Mr Zanira, it's time you get back into your sleep hole, forever this time." I smiled before relaxing my face, glaring at him. In a split second I was back onto the floor, hitting the floor with my magic. He was flown to the back of the cell with a large impact, he should've been weak considering blood is what strengthens him, but looking at Taehyung's current condition and the bite on his arm, Zanira had taken quite a lot of blood from him.

He didn't let the pain from the bone that I had cracked affect him. He sped around me to purposely confuse me on where to shoot my spell. I trusted my instinct, reaching out my left hand in the way of his little circle run, managing to grab his throat as I slowly swivelled my head to look at him. "I'm sorry, did I interrupt your fun?" I raised an eyebrow intimidatingly, I used my other hand to power my light as I had my own entertainment watching him struggle for air while I choked him.

"You know, I definitely understand the hype of choking," I snickered.

"Goodbye," I winked, releasing my power, as my light went straight into him, causing him pain. It wasn't even a spell, I just wanted to hurt him, I just thought of hurting him and there he was probably taking his last breaths. "Y-you won't kill me," he groaned in pain, "glad you said won't and not can't, because I most definitely can, I wanna hear why you think I can't." I tilted my head. "Because you'll be too busy saving your little boyfriend from the brink of death," his eyes were full of tears of agony, but they stared behind me, straight at Taehyung.

I lost concentration on my powers, quickly turning my head to look at Tae who was vomiting, and colour had completely left his skin. I turned back around to get back to my magic since I had to at least make sure the person who caused Tae so much pain was in much more. A powerful fist met my face, kneeing me in the stomach, right on the wound that was almost healed. "C'mon not the face," I glared, kicking him in the chest before building up momentum for a roundhouse kick straight to the face.

The impact made him lose balance, falling to his side, as soon as I expected him to lose a little strength, he swiftly spun his leg to kick my foot, making me fall on my back. He immediately got on top of me, pinning down my hands so I wouldn't be able to to use any magic. He flashed his fangs, and eyes that had transformed into bullets of thirst for blood, "see this would be such a sexy moment if you weren't a 200 year old serial killer." I looked him in the eyes, watching them transform back to normal for a second due to confusion at my words.

I took my opportunity and curled my legs, bringing my knees over my stomach as I threw them over his shoulder, doing a little flip to sit straight up on him. "You've gotta stop letting my stalling distract you," I chuckled before shoving my elbow into his head, "eurgh!" He groaned at the pressure being put into his skull. He gripped onto my waist, flipping me down onto the ground, I hit my head so hard on a pointy rock everything started spinning.

"Stay down princess," he whispered, completely tired, he looked down at me, then at the door, "I enjoyed this duel, however I must bid you farewell." He smiled, before speeding out the cell, probably managing to escape the prison since it was so late at night all the guards must be half asleep on duty.

"Yeah you better run," I spoke out of breath, using a whole lot of energy to get up. Things had stopped spinning so much but I still felt light headed. I stumbled my way over to Tae, who was almost completely drained of blood. My shaking hands caressed over his bitten arm and other wounds, before travelling up to his face, grabbing his cheeks.

"You did it," he muttered, making me faintly smile, there was a silence as both of us were way too exhausted to talk. That silence filled up a weird atmosphere between us, that space that separated us decreased, my palms that were still sitting on his cheeks bought his face closer to mine. He had closed his eyes, waiting for our lips to meet, I knew he could feel my hot breath against his mouth.

"Your breath stinks."

I whispered, weakly chuckling as I dropped my hands down from his face, resting my head onto his lap. Taehyung rolled his eyes, releasing a breath, "what you didn't think I'd actually want to kiss you?" I mimicked his words from the other day. "God I hate you," he smiled, "oh shut up, you know you love me."

"Happy birthday."
