"What the hell happened Andy?" Noa just came and was surprised to my state.

"A lot of things. How are you Noa? Having fun in the mansion?"

"Not really, there are a lot of paperwork and I always get lost walking alone"

"Lord Noa, please stay here while I'm out" and Jun dashed outside.

"Lord?"

"It but everybody calls me that. That boyfriend of yours is just being polite. So tell me what happened." he sat on the chair beside my bed.

I told him everything. The arrow, the knife, the same guy. His expression was so easy to read - confusion strikes.

"I don't believe this!"

"Yeah, me too."

"It's not that Andy, that guy is the second rose we're after!"

"What? That guy is? How did you--"

Thud!

Noa just fell to the floor.

"What's wrong Noa?" But he didn't move.

Crash!

I turned my face and the window shattered to pieces and someone appeared!

It was that guy! His eyes were staring at me! The fierce look ready to kill someone... "As expected of the root.. You are still alive." then he got me and carried me on his shoulder. "What's the big idea? Put me down!!" but I suddenly felt dizzy and I could only see a blurred vision of Noa on the floor...

Jun... I...

help me!

I gained consciousness after a while and I was tied up on a pole. The man was holding his knife and I saw a set of arrows and bow beside him. This must be his place.

He stood up and walked towards me.

"You'll die with me... Third rose..." his voice was scary.. Me? The third rose? What is he playing now?

"What are you saying?!"

"Both of us are roses like your old man from the council. We're all linked to your Lady Saneel and I want you dead!"

"Who are you? Please tell me sir!" My voice was obviously scared...

He walked towards me holding the knife and his eyes turned red...

He was also a vampire...

I'm so scared...
