~Yumi~

--------------------------

I peeked behind the corner, seeing uncle and aunt lost into the movie that was on the tv at the moment. I took a deep breath and wondered if I was going to be able to leave them for England for a week.

Of course I would be able to but was I going to be able to leave and enjoy London at peace, without worrying about them getting hurt? A silent tear fell down my cheek as I tried to understand what struggle I had put my beloved family through. Having all these secrets without being able to tell them, what was worse? Me lying or me trying to protect them without giving them the choice to choose what they wanted?

"I know it´s hard" JaeJoong whispered behind me as he hugged me from the back

"Is it really the right thing to do?" I whispered

"Just until Donghae is gone. If he killed you, who knows what he will be able to do next? He might just kill the rest of your family just to have you al by himself. You know.. alone.."

"But you´r ehere.. and the other guys"

"I know.. but hurting the people you hold closes to your heart is a way just to get under your skin. And trust me it works" He whispered

I sighed

"I can´t do it" I sobbed quietly

"You want me to do it?" He asked

I shook my head

"Just believe what you´re telling them. It´s easy. Compulsion will let them be safe until we´re back" JaeJoong encouraged

I nodded

"Darling? Is it you?"

"Aunt"

"Darling, how long have you been standing over there? Oh JaeJoong you´re here as well" Uncle said and stood up

JaeJoong greeted formally and with a smile. Aunti and Uncle faced us with a big smile

"Aunt.. I´m going to London.. for a week"

"Oh my.. when was this decided?" She asked

"You´re leaving too. You´re going to our cousins far away on the other side of the coast to see Gramps and our cousins"

A silent tear fell and uncle and aunt looked at me with a smile

"Oh darling I forgot to tell you that. I´m so sorry. You know we´re leaving early tomorrow morning. Now.. we need to start packing at once" Aunt said

A kiss was planted on my cheek before my aunt and uncle went upstairs to pack. JaeJoong took me into his arms and I hugged him tightly

"It´ll be good. I promise" JaeJoong comforted

"I feel like a villain, messing with their heads. It´s not okay" I whispered

"Of course it isn´t but you have to consider their safety"

I nodded

"I need to hunt"

----

As soon as we came back to the mansion, after hunting and packing I entered the livingroom to see Yoochun sitting by the couch. JaeJoong had gone upstairs to finish the last packing

"Hey" He said and stood up

"Hi"

"You´re okay?" He asked

I nodded slowly

"I think so" I mumbled

"Why think and not know?"

"I think... being around my family.. makes me calm.. I guess. Nothing paticularly heightened" I mumbled

"really?" He asked

I nodded

"And I ... feel like sorting my thoughts out is getting somewhat easier but there is something I´m missing I think"

"Like what?"

"Like... I´ve lost something" I whispered and looked at Yoochun

He nodded slowly

"I know what you mean" He mumbled

"You do?"

He nodded. He handed me a glass of whisky as he took a sip himself

"You have all of us helping you.. controlling, keeping you in shack. As for me it took me a few years but Jae is skilled. But even though you have us, helping and guiding you, once you´ll able to let yourself feel, hurt, pain, happiness, love... everything. It´ll be better. This might be the first step. I think that is what we´re gonna try to help you out with once we get to the castle"

"Really? Do I have to face everything?" I mumbled

"Everything. Every single memory. In order to heal yourself, you have to start by opening yourself up and try to confront the things that you have suppressing. Some feelings are heighetened, the worse part of those feelings are the ones that you suppressed and try to hide. But once letting them out, confroning, finding a solution and accepting them. . it´ll be better"

I nodded in reply

"Thanks Yoochun"

"You´ll be okay" Yoochun smiled

A brief hug was exchanged and soon all the guys came downstairs

"Ready?" JaeJoong smiled

After an hour of insane driving, well with Jae´s and Kibum´s driving, we finally arrived at the airport. To my surprise I was more than shocked to find out that we were flying to London in a private jet

"You gotta be kidding"

"I like airplanes" JaeJoong smiled shyly

We boarded and once we were comfortable and everything was set we finally took off

----------------------------------------------

"Yumi?"

"Yumi?"

Someone was trying to wake me and I don´t understand how I was able to fall asleep. I looked around and all seats were empty except JaeJoong sitting right next to me

"I fell asleep?" I asked

"Yup"

"I didn´t know vampires could" I mumbled and took a deep breath before getting a gum

"We can. If we want to. lots of possibilites. Advantages with being a vampire" He smiled

"We here?" I asked, remembering why I was on an airplane

"Yup. Ready?"

He took my hand and we slowly walked to the exit. New scents hit me immediately and there was a wonderful scent of lavender, roses, lilies, forrest... And a lake.. I could hear water streaming from afar

As soon as we stepped outside JaeJoong dragged me and we ran. For a few minutes we ran and soon enough we arrived. Mansion.. castle.. whatever it was it was huge and extreme. It looked like it has been here for a few hundred years. from the time when Shakespeare was alive and I don´t even know how it looked like then. Either way, it smelled different and it was ancient, definitely

A huge porche was in front of us, a wide and massive staircase with 5 steps up til´the big double doors that was about to greet us. Giant doors that could fit at least 10 people at the same time stretched out.

A fountain was found in the middle, two huge statues, lions were staring creepily at me. And they were made out of stones. I was a vampire. I started to laugh at myself

To the far right was a parking lot and expensive sport cars as well as old school cars, newly washed and waxed was parked.

Just above us was a huge balcony, stretching out to let you see the forrest. I looked behind me  to see a fence, approximately 2 feet high and video cameras and guards everywhere. I saw the road that took you down probably to Londo downtown, otherwise it looked like it was isolated from London. Privacy screamed about the place

"Awesome isn´t it?" Junsu smiled

"Someone seems to be overwhelmed to be here" I chuckled

"You have no idea. Wait until you get to hunt" Junsu blinked

JaeJoong laughed

A sudden noise from the huge doors was heard and they were both opened by someone who looked like a butler. We walked towards the doors and as soon as we came indoors, a line of servants were standing there waiting. They were dressed differently though

"Jae.. they look like.."

"Like they are from the ancient England.. around 1500? Yup definitely"

"My Lord, Milady" The butler said in a very old british way I ... think

"Milady?" I whispered

"Josef. It´s been a very long time"

"My lord, I´m honored to still be here. I´ve been awaiting the arrival of yours. I see you are accompanied by these familiar faces as well. Lord Kim Junsu. Lord Jung Yunho. Lord Park Yoochun. Lord Choikang Changmin"

Kibum started to cough

The butler Josef looked at Kibum and laughed slightly

"My sincere apologies My lord. I had not forgotten about you although, I do recall that last time you paid us a visit your hair was slightly different. Lord Kim Kibum I presume" Josef said

Kibum let out a sigh as a reply but chuckled a bit

"This is Yumi by the way"

Josef turned to me and smiled. He suddenly bowed

"Milady, I think I´ve already started to fancy you"

"Fancy... me?" I stuttered, blushing because of all the brittish accents and the flatter he was giving me

"Correct me if I might be wrong but My lord seems to be slightly different and something tells me that you played a part in that. It has been a very long time since our Lord paid us a visit and now with him gladly giving us the pleasure to have his presence around here, I do notice the slight change. It has been a very long time, if you do understand the meaning MIlady" Josef bowed

I stared a thim for awhile and then back at JaeJoong who just chuckled, enjoying this

"Is he?.. Are they all?"

"TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH!!!" Yunho said from the back

"No way!!!!" I stared at JaeJoong

"Yup.. I told you it´ll be easier for you around here.. Vampires.. A bunch of us"

"Under your...?"

"Not under me.. but definitely an awesome inheritance... isn´t it?"

"Inheritance?" I asked

"You know I used to be a very spoiled brat when I was younger.. or.. I mean.. before I was a vampire. Either way.. I´ll explain later" JaeJoong chuckled as he nodded at the servants

"JAE!!!" I said

"Josef... please prepare the chambers. Everyone will be having their own rooms. As for the lady here, will be sharing with me" Jae said

"Certainly My Lord"

Everyone left in a second and I gasped

"You have lots to tell Jae"

"I certainly do"
