Taemin POV

I flew and flew until I landed at Minho’s house.  I had to be sneaky about this.  I couldn’t let myself be known, for by now my mother, Key umma, and Onew hyung have figured out that I’m gone and are worried sick, pissed or both, and have most likely called Marina.  I knew she would turn me over and I would never find my precious Minho.  I landed at the back of the mansion and tried to figure out which was Changmins window.  I looked around till I noticed him go past his window opening it.  I then flew up and snuck in. I landed quietly and blushed when I noticed he was changing. I averted my eyes and called him quietly.

“C-changmin hyung?” He turned around shocked.

“Taemin?! What the hell...mph” I shut his mouth.

“Shhhh hyung please don’t tell on me….” I said desperately. He looked at me but sighed.

“Aiishh this kid….alright alright…but just so you know your mother has already called mine and asked if we have seen you…” I nodded.

“I-I know….but I have to find Minho…I need to get to the vampire realm and you’re the only one that will help me…” Changmin quirked a brow.

“And what makes you think I’m going to risk your safety by helping you?”

“Because I love him! I know that even though he’s adopted you love him too! And if I don’t find him, something could happen to him because he can’t drink other blood because he fed off me already.  I’m going to do everything in my power to save him!” I said determined and shaking. Changmin then smiled.

“Alright I’ll help you. I know you don’t know how to get to the Vampire realm but I do.  All vampires that leave the realm have a special portal so that they can return at will.  I don’t know how the those tricky divine line angel bastards got him there but hey…with that much power anything’s possible.  Once we teleport through a teleport to leave will appear at will if a vampire chants the right Latin linguistics.  It’s dangerous though…are you ready for that Minnie?” Changmin asked me. I nodded.

“Yes…I’m ready.” He smiled again and rubbed my hair.

“Good, let’s prepare…s boring and depressing around here anyways…Mom won’t stop crying and dad won’t stop cussing at any living thing that moves.” I giggled a little at that.  I smiled glad that I had Changmin hyung on my side.  Everything was going to be okay.  I’m glad Key umma, Jonghyun appa, and Kevin came to get me out of my rut, otherwise I would have forgotten Minho’s words. “Its going to be okay Minnie….believe in us…I love you”

“I love you too Minho….I’m coming…I’m coming for you” I said kissing the heart shaped pendant around my neck.

Keys POV

I was now past the stage of crying and now just pissed and worried as …  I swear when I get my hands on that boy, I’m going to hug him….then I’m going to beat the out of his .  How could he do this to us?!  His mother is worried sick, Onew is a nervous wreck and Joon hyung doesn’t know what to do, me and Kevin keep getting into little fights, and I’m constantly pissed at Jonghyun.  I don’t mean to be….but I’m worried about Minnie…. I can’t understand why he would run off like that.  I was passing around Taemins room and thinking when Jonghyun called out to me.
“Bummie…baby…its okay...” I glared at Jonghyun.

“How the is it okay?! Taemin is God knows where alone! He’s in a very vulnerable state of mind right now, and we don’t know what the he’s doing! Don’t you tell me to calm down or that its ing okay Kim Jonghyun!” I screeched at Jonghyun who shrunk back.

“He’s just asking a damn question Key, chill out! I’m worried about Minnie too, but you shouldn’t talk that way to him, he’s just trying to help!” Kevin yelled defending Jonghyun.

“Don’t tell me how to talk to my boyfriend Kevin! I don’t recall asking for your input or for you to be a ing counsiler.”

“I never said I was a ing counclier Key! I’m just trying to say that...”

“Well I don’t want to here it right now! I’m sorry…I just…I can’t….I know I know you’re worried too and I’m sorry for being snappy….I just want Minho and our Taeminnie back…” I then broke down again and cried. Kevin and Jonghyun then held onto me and comforted me.

“I’m sorry Jjongie….I’m sorry Kevin…”

“Shhhh its okay hun….it’s going to be okay Key.  We will figure this out.”

“But how….”

“I’m not sure I mean…if we all leave the house at once it’ll look suspicious and the guards will inform those divine line nitwits that Minnie’s gone…and then who knows what the they’ll do to him and Minho… right now I think…all we can do is trust Minnie that he’s okay and that he will come home.  He’s smart so we should try to believe in him.” Kevin said with a soft smile.  He was right…my baby was no dummy.  It’s just unsettling being left in the dark.  I whipped my tears and gave a soft smile back at Kevin and Jonghyun.

“Hey I’m going to go home quickly and get another book and some of my mom’s homemade cookies.  I’ll be back Key.” I looked at Kevin with worry.

“How are you going to go without rising suspicion?”

“I’m just going to teleport.  I’ll be back soon okay?” Kevin said giving my hand a squeeze.  I nodded and gave him a smile.  In the blink of an eye he was gone.  Once he left I snuggled into Jonghyuns arms and closed my eyes, trying to ease my worried conscience for the time being.

Kevin POV:

I teleported into my living room.  My mother must have sensed my presence and called for me.

“Kevin sweetie? Is that you?” I rushed into the kitchen to find her making a cake.  I swear I feel like we live off sweets more than normal food, but hey we aren’t human so we don’t worry about our weight.

“Yes mom it’s me.” I said with a small smile. Her eyes twinkled and she hugged me tightly.

“Oh I’ve missed you sweetie, I’ve been so worried.  How’s everything? Is Key alright? How is Taemin?” my mother asked bombarding me with questions.  I looked down.  Not sure how to break the news of Taemins disappearance, but I didn’t want to lie either.

“Well we are facing a problem at the moment….I can’t really reveal the details yet, but it’s going to be okay mom….” She nodded in understanding.

“If you say so….” I nodded and hugged her.

“Say could I take some of these cookies? Keys a little distressed and I thought he could use some.”

“Sure go ahead and help yourself honey….Oh and before I forget someone’s been coming to the house to see you Kevin.” I looked at my mother confused at that as I stuffed a cookie into my mouth and packaged some to take with me.

“Someone’s been coming to see me??” I said voiced laced with confusion and curiosity.  Who would be coming to see me? My mother smiled.

“Yes.  He’s been coming every day since the incident with Taemin.  He’s called a few times too to see if you’re okay.  You really should stop leaving your phone on silent dear.  He’s quite the handsome fellow too and he…” I interrupted my mother.

“Umm…What’s his name?” I asked uncertainly.

“Oh what was his name….how could I forget the name of such a handsome young man…lets see Eric….noo…Elliot…”

“Eli!?” I shouted surprised.

“Yes that’s it! Eli! Is he your boyfriend Kevin? I would be so jealous….he’s soo” I blocked out my mother’s words to process her information.  How did Eli find out where I live?  Ever since the incident in the locker room, I haven’t really had the guts to see him.  So I kind of avoided him….he still had my number so he has tried to call but because of the Taemin thing I haven’t had the chance to return them, plus making up school work….

“Uh mom I gotta go get some stuff from my room…” I said quickly cutting off her rant about how we would create cute babies and yadda yadda.  If she was that desperate for grandchildren she could ask Key….he was practically a second son to her anyhow.  I rushed up to my room and started packing more books and other essentials such as clothes and toiletries.  I had a feeling I'd be staying at Minnie’s till this whole mess was resolved.  I swear that kids got some balls taking off without tell me or Key…especially Key.  I pity him because Keys going to go to town on his when we find him.  I was too preoccupied with my thoughts that I didn’t hear my mother welcome someone in and my door open.  I paced and threw my hands up in frustration.

“Damnit Taemin where the are you?! We are worried sick about you!” I shouted in frustration.

“Taemins gone?” an all too familiar voiced called out. I whipped around to be met with Eli’s eyes looking at me with concern.  What was he doing here?

“E-Eli? What are you doing here?” I asked shocked beyond belief. He chuckled.

“Umm I’ve been coming here at this time for the past couple days….the only difference about today than the others is that your actually home this time around….” I smacked my face in exasperation.  Of course my mother would leave out the little detail of when Eli actually comes to visit me.

“That still doesn’t answer my question…what are you doing here Eli…” I said again.  He frowned slightly.

“I came to check on you…..You’ve been avoiding me…and you haven’t answered my calls….I’m worried Kev…” He said looking at me with sad eyes.  I felt a pang in my heart.  He was worried….however I really didn’t have time for my own devices.

“Well sorry but I’ve been occupied and I’m not avoiding you…I’m busy…Now I have to go.” I said curtly heading for the door not looking at Eli.  He then grabbed my wrist and pinned me to the door.  He gave me a stern look and I tried to wriggle away avoiding his gaze.

“H-hey…let go of me….Seriously Eli I don’t have time…”

“Why are you pushing me away Kevin? I’m worried about you!” I blushed and looked down.  My resolve was crumbling.

“E-Eli…please…s-stop….I’m f-fine...” I said in a soft voice.

“No!....No….now please look me in the eyes and tell me everything is okay?” Eli said in a soft yet stern voice. I looked into his eyes and the tears fell.  I didn’t even realize I had been holding them for so long.  I guess the stress from Minnie being gone, Key and I’s fight and now Eli showing up at my door trying to take care of me was all it took for me to finally crumble and let my emotions show.  My true emotions.  I was just as scarred as Key was of loosing Taeminnie….but I tried to be strong on the outside…putting up a front….but it was eating me up just as much if not worse than Key.  I finally couldn’t take it anymore.  I broke down and cried in Elis chest, clutching onto his shirt for dear life.  He rubbed my back and held me close.  I could feel his warmth, and smell his cologne.  It was so comforting…  I guess this was what I needed.  Key had Jonghyun, and Minnie had Minho….who did I have for comfort to run to and cry my eyes out on a more deeper level then Key and Taemin….

“Shhhh….it’s okay….that’s right….let it out...” Eli whispered to me, and peppering my forehead with butterflies kisses.  I squeezed tighter.

“I-I’m…I’m so scarred….What if something happens to Taemin and Minho….and then Key and I fought….a-and…I just don’t know what to do…I-I feel so useless…” I blurted out.  Letting my emotions run like a broken faucet.  Without me knowledge we ended up sitting on my bed, while I was in Eli’s lap.  I nuzzled my face into his neck and refused to let go.

“You’re not useless….it’s going to be okay…Taemin is going to be okay….we have to have faith…. We will get through this….” I looked up at him through glassy eyes.

“W-we?....” Eli smiled at me and brushed my hair out of my face.

“Yes we….I’m going to be here for you every step of the way… I know that I don’t exactly have Keys blessing, but I love you Kevin.  I made some mistakes, and I’m owning up for them….but I refuse to let you go through this alone.  Don’t hide your emotions from me, or your friends.  I want you to lean on me…I want to be that person you run to and cry when there’s no one else. I want to dry your tears, kiss your lips to stop your sobs, and hold you so very tightly. My Kevin…my precious beautiful Kevin…” I broke down crying more at his confession.  I felt comfort, and I let myself be swallowed by his love.

“Eli…I-I love you…..please…please tell me this is real….” I said as I touched his face.

“Of course it is….I was a fool to let you go once…but now…I’m here to stay, I’m going to stand by you, along with Key.  I don’t care if he kills me, it’s a small sacrifice to be willing to gain your trust back….I love you too Kevin...” our lips then connected and I melted into his kiss.  Our kiss started to get more passionate as it went on.  I missed him so much….I missed us so terribly.  We disconnected our lips and looked straight into each other’s eyes.  We rubbed our foreheads together as he kissed my nose, giving me a dazzling smile.  I smiled back and snuggled back into his chest.  Maybe this…..this was a sign….perhaps things are going to start looking up for all of us.  I then released myself from his hold and caressed his cheek.

“I um….I need to finish packing, then I have to go back to Taemins house.”  I told him with a small sad smile.  I didn’t want to leave him. I want to spend more time with him, but Taemin, Key, Minho and Jonghyun needed me right now.  They were what I had when I didn't have Eli.  He pouted slightly.

“So soon?...but I just got here…” he said feeling a bit sad. I chuckled.

“I know Eli….but my friends need me….” I said seriously.  He nodded his head.

“I know that….I’m sorry…I got selfish….I  just wanted to keep you, my precious love in my arms for a little while longer.” He told me matter of factly.

“I know….me too….when I get back, we can talk some more about us…alright?”

“I look forward to it.  I’ll be here waiting for you.  Don’t do anything dangerous.  I expect your return and you better keep me updated and text me often.”  Eli said matter of factly with a soft yet serious expression. I giggled and kissed his nose.

“I promise….I love you.”

“I love you too…so much…hurry back already....”

“I haven’t even left yet silly.” I said with a laugh.  He pouted at that.  I gave him another bright smile, kissed his lips again, then teleported out. I popped back into Taemins room to find a sleeping Key resting on Jonghyun.

“Hey your back….what kept you? Key was starting to worry something happened.” Jonghyun asked me. 

“I went home remember? Was I really gone that long?” Jonghyun shrugged.

“I didn’t think you where but, you know Key….he’s really jumpy right now….Are you okay?”

“Yea I’m fine…” I said handing him a cookie that was meant for Key mostly.  Key then stirred abit.

“Mmmm…Jjongie?...” Jonghyun smiled at him.

“I’m here baby…its okay…Kevin’s back” Key then shot up.

“Kevin! Your back! I was so worried!” Key said pushing himself into my arms. I smiled and hugged him back just as tight.

“I’m sorry Key….” he shook his head.

“No…its okay….it’s just….I couldn’t bare if something happened to you too….” I nodded understanding.  We then held on to each other and ate the cookies my mom made.  After that we started planning.  We had to find Minnie, and Minho.  We had to get this mess sorted out.  Minnie and Minho didn’t deserve this.  The tip of or whoever the hell told the council about them needed to be figured out.  I guess that would be step one in figuring this out.  Now who would want to break up Minho and Taemin……?

Then it hit me hard.  I told Key and Jonghyun about my theory and well….let’s just say you would never think that heaven could look so dark….

That was going down.

Minho POV

After I was brought through a portal to the Vampire realm…which confused the out me…how the hell could they have done that without the proper Latin linguistics…..I guess these council bastards have more tricks up their sleeves then they let on.  I have never seen the vampire realm before, but it felt somewhat familiar….however I couldn’t put my finger on it.  I was put in a cell and it was pretty damn disgusting in there.  It smelled of old blood and the mildoo forming on the walls.  The bed in there was pretty worn and tired as well, but sittable still.  I saw the guards of the divine council leave, giving me a disgusted look as they did so.  I just sighed and sat on the bed in my cell.  It was really cold and uncomfortable.  I missed Minnie so much….I couldn’t stand it.  I just wanted to hold him in my arms again and kiss his warm lips.  I missed Jonghyun as well….We’ve been friends since I got to university, and he’s always been at my side.  I even missed Key and Kevin’s rowdiness.  I wondered how long they were going to keep me in this prison….I can’t believe I’m even here…just for loving Minnie.  Do I regret anything? Hell no.  When this trial happens, or if it happens.  No matter what, I’ll never take back loving Minnie.  I’d love him till my last breath (yea I’m immortal but you know what I mean).

3 days later…..

It’s been three days since I’ve been in this cell.  No one really comes down here except the guards.  This prison is very close to the palace so I guess that makes sense.  The food they have given me hasn’t been the best but I guess that’s to be expected.  I didn’t feel as lonely as I was the first day.  The advisor of Dracula has been coming down here to oversee the prisoners.  I have spoken to him a few times and he seems very friendly…unlike the guards.  He has been the best company since I got here. James was his European name….but for all intense purposes he prefers to go by Ryeowook. It was better for me since he understood I had a Korean name as well.  I found out that he has been working for Dracula since his innogeration.  Yea the guy was super accident but didn’t look a day over 25.  He’s been through so much with the poor guy.  Watching him grieve over the loss of his 1st kid….to his wife committing suicide…..to his brother disappearing without a trace… Ryeowook looked pained talking about this stuff and I couldn’t help but sympathize with him, despite my situation.   He had been nothing but good to me since he started visiting me and chatting with me.  I told him how I was adopted by my family, and the reason I was here.  He looked utterly appalled at the reason, and he apologized to me, telling me that there was little he could do, but watch over me till I was delt with. I was grateful to him.  I even showed him a picture of Minnie that I had.  He smiled fondly at it.  Having him visit me was giving me hope that his superior was just as kind as he was and I would be seeing Minnie soon.

Day 4……

It was day four now and I was starting to feel drained.  I was growing pretty weak and I knew damned well why. Even though Ryewook started bringing me better food than the guards (secretly of course), I knew what I needed….Minnie.  I was deprived of his sweet blood.  The blood they tried to offer me here gave me poisoning and I ended up throwing it up.  Ryeowook asked me what was wrong but I didn’t want to worry my new friend but that didn’t stop him from keeping a closer eye on me.  I was sitting on my bed shutting my eyes, waiting for Ryeowook to visit me, when I started coughing like crazy.  The guards looked at me alarmed and noticed Ryeowook coming.

“Sir something’s wrong with him…” Ryeowook looked at me and ran over to my cell.

“Open his cell you fools and be quick about it!” he shouted.  My vision was blurring slightly but I could still make him out as he rushed to me.

“Minho what’s wrong?!” he asked concerned. I shook my head.

“Its *cough* nothing….” I said giving him a weak smile.  He shook his head and took me from the cell. The guards panicked.

“S-sir he can’t leave...”

“I know that! I’ll deal with the consequences of my actions later, but right now this boy is more important! You both still answer to me, now move aside!” Ryeowook shouted.  They didn’t have a choice and moved aside.  Ryeowook then took me to a small room and laid me on soft comfy bed.  The room looked like a guest room at a 5 star hotel.  Ryeowook put me on the bed, took off my shirt, and put a cold rag on my forehead.

“Your burning up Minho….you have a high fever….but how can that be possible…this only happens with lack of blood…have you not been drinking the blood I’ve been giving you?” he asked with a worried tone.

“I-I can’t stomach it…..M-Minnie….I need….” I couldn’t finish as I coughed some more.  It then dawned on Ryeowook.

“You’ve bitten your mate….Oh dear Minho…if that is the case….there’s not much I can do at this point… Here let me take a blood test, so I can know what medicine to use to slow down your fever….I’m so sorry my boy…” I smiled at him kindly.

“Its okay Wookie….you’ve been the best…I won’t go without seeing Minnie one more time…” he shook his head as his eyes glassed over slightly.  He then went to get his equipment to take my blood.  He took the test, and the blood flowed out of me.  I have never seen my own blood before in all honesty.  I closed my eyes as I felt it leave my arm.  I then heard a gasp. I turned my head and opened my eyes slightly.

“Is something wrong Ryeowook hyung?” I asked.

“U-um no it’s…its nothing…Minho you said you were adopted right?” I nodded my head.

“And you have no idea who your real parents are?”I shook my head again.

“Okay…well um I’m going to get you the medicine.  Hold on more….please…”  I heard footsteps leave the room.  As I closed my eyes, I let my mind wonder to Minnie.  His beautiful long brown hair, those lovely chocolate orbs, his smooth milky white skin, his angelic voice, and those slim comforting fingers.  Minnie…. I whispered

Taemin POV

I made it to the Vampire realm with Changmin hyung and we started looking around for the prison Minho would be at.  I wore the black vail as we walked through the streets, and I could tell that the other vampires could sense I wasn’t from around here.  Some saw my face and gave me looks of confusion or curiosity.....alittle too much curiosity for my taste.  I was scared but I had to be brave.  Changmin hyung could sense my fear and gave me an assuring look.  As we walked we caught sight of the prison we believe Minho to be in.

“Hyung…?” I said looking at Changmin.

“I think so too….are you ready?” I nodded.  He then grabbed onto me and we sped to the prison. I caught my breath and looked up.  I can’t believe they kept my precious Minho here….We have been separated for 4 days…and I was anxious.

“Okay hyung…I’m going…..”

“Are you sure your going to be okay Taemin-ah….if they find you they’ll kill you and Minho will never forgive me for letting you go alone…” I smiled and held my hyungs hand.

“I know but I have to do this….please just keep guard and if something goes wrong ill text you…my phone is fully charged and it's working great here so please don’t worry…” Changmin just gave me one last pat before I extended my wings and flew to a window as fast as I could.  I retracted my wings, and put my cloak on.  I decided to try if I could use the invisibility that angels use when they watch over their humans.  I tried and it worked, but I was still inexperienced with it so I had to move fast.  I started looking around the prison…it was so damn big…  I ran around frantically and looked around for anything that looked like a human frog.  I continued looking but couldn’t find him.

“Minho where are you….” I whispered out.  As I kept walking I heard voices from a room.

“Your burning up Minho….you have a high fever….but how can that be possible…this only happens with lack of blood…have you not been drinking the blood I’ve been fiving you?”

Minho! Did he just say Minho? High fever?  I ran to the door and listened.

“I-I can’t stomach it…..M-Minnie….I need….

I put my hands over my mouth and the tears fell.  It was Minho….I found him…my Minho…

“You’ve bitten your mate….Oh dear Minho…if that is the case….there’s not much I can do at this point… Here let me take a blood test, so I can know what medicine to use to slow down your fever….I’m so sorry my boy…”

I panicked at that.  I had to get in there but the door was locked.  I then hear steps coming to the door and I backed up.  The man who was helping my Minho ran out holding a vile.  I took this as my chance and walked in.  I kept my invisibility on a bit more in case someone else was there. I looked around and my eyes fell on the figure lying weakly in the bed.  It was my love….my heart….my Minho.  I rushed over and look at his face.  It feels like eternity since I’ve seen it.  I smiled as my tears fell.  He shifted in his sleep and whispered my name.  I then took my invisibility off and shed my black vail.  I had to help my baby before it was too late.  I found a dagger on a table in the room.  I slashed my wrist wincing at the pain, and brought it to Minho’s precious lips and let the blood trickle down his throat as I straddled his waist.  Please….let this help I prayed.  After a while I felt a tongue dart out at my wrist and a firm grip grasped my wrist. I looked down to see Minho’s eyes opening.  When they fully opened he looked at me with surprise.

“M-Minnie….?!” I smiled and caressed his face.

“Yes…it’s me….I’m here”

Minho POV

After I drifted off into sleep, minutes after Ryeowook left, I felt a faint presence in the room.  I was too weak however to investigate, but the presence felt familiar and warm.  Then I felt soft, fingers caress my cheek and something warm and sweet trickles down my throat.  It was delicious, and I could feel my body aching less.  I moved my tongue out and lapped at the delicious liquid, and grasped whatever was giving me the liquid.  I opened my eyes and to my surprise….there was Minnie….my Minnie…no it couldn’t be true….how could he have gotten here….I must be going crazy…but his face looked so real, and his blood tasted so good and I could feel it… with a shaky breath I asked

“Minnie…..is it is it true…?” I asked confused. He gave me his angelic smile.

“Yes…its me…I’m here my love…I’m here…” he said caressing my cheek. I used the strength I was receiving and started getting up but was pushed back down gently.

“No…shhh my love…your weak…just rest and feed….” I didn’t head his words though.  I just his wound and it stopped bleeding. I then grabbed him and turned us over so that he was under me and I was on top.

“Minnie….what are you doing here babe? How did you get here?!” I asked as I caressed his cheek. He smiled at me as his tears continued to roll.

“Changmin hyung brought me….” I cursed under my breath.

“Damnit! I'll get him later.” I said upset. Minnie looked at me horrified.

“B-but Minho….aren’t you happy to see me?” I sighed frustrated and buried my face in his neck, kissing him all over.

“Minnie….I am happy to see you…but you shouldn’t have come…something could have happened to you! You should have stayed safely at home....” he got up and looked me square in the face glaring.

“Stayed at home and did what?! Wait for you to die here? For you to be locked up forever?! No I wasn’t going to do that! I knew you were growing weak…but I couldn’t I couldn’t let you die….I-I’m sorry…I just…” I grew alarmed as he started to cry more. I kissed his lip trying to comfort him.

“I know I know…I’m sorry baby….I just couldn’t bare it if something happened to you….I love you so much…I’m sorry I’m not angry…I’m just concerned…” I said reassuring him.  He then sniffled at gave me a smile.

“I’ve missed you…” he whispered.

“So have I baby…”  We then got into a heated make out session and I devoured his lips.  He moaned into my kiss.

“Minho….Minho….” he breath out.

“Minnie… baby…..”  He then brought my head to his neck.

“Drink my love….you need your strength back…” I growled and his neck.  I placed pepper kisses on the spot I was going to bite and let my teeth sink in...  It was so good…so so good…. I heard him moan as he listened to my slurps and gulps.  After I was done, I went back to his lips and started to undress him.

“M-Minho?”

“I’m sorry baby….I need to love you…to feel you…” I said in desperate breaths.  He nodded and smiled.

“Yes Minho….please make love to me!” he gasped.

“Okay I think that’s far enough….”  I heard a voice say with amusement.  We jumped apart, and there in the door was Ryeowook.  Minnie got scarred and hid in my chest.

“H-hyung…h-how long have you been here?!” I said nervous. Ryeowook chuckled.

“Long enough….so this is Minnie I see?  You don’t have to hide young one, I won’t hurt you...” Minnie slowly looked at Ryeowook hyung and then at me. I nodded and assured him that it was fine.

“H-hi….I’m Taemin…thank you for taking care of my boyfriend...p-please don’t tell that I'm here…please….” Minnie whispered.  Ryeowook gave him a sympathetic smile.

“Don’t worry Taemin, I won’t tell.  I admire your courage for coming all the way here.  Love truly is a wonderful thing and can even make miracles…truly….” He said sighing happily.

“Miracles?” I asked confused.

“Oh its nothing Minho…never mind this long winded old coot….by the way I believe we will have this whole situation handled very soon.  So stay strong you both.  I believe everything is going to be okay.” Ryeowook said giving us a kind smile.

“Now I have to go consult with his majesty.  You two stay hidden. I’ll be back as soon as I can.” And with that Ryeowook turned to leave, but before he could I gave him a big smile.

“Thank you hyung! You’re the best!” I said with a huge grin.” Ryeowook nodded and left.  I was so busy cuddling with Minnie that I didn’t hear his last words.

“It’s my pleasure….your highness.”

Ryeowook POV

After leaving the children I felt a tear escape my eye.  I whipped it and headed to my lab to gather the blood test results.  As I gathered them my mind wondered to the boy.  When he first came I wasn’t sure why…but I felt I must protect him.  His strength….it reminded me so much of his highness….and the fire in those eyes….I was just compelled to know him.  After the blood test, it confirmed my suspicions and now here I was in front of his majesties common room.  I knocked on the door and I heard a faint come in.  I made my way inside to find his majesty his wife, and their son Stephen who prefers Joonmyun.   His highnesses second wife was truly beautiful, not as much as fair Aliina but still.  Their son was also a joy.  Such a sweet young man, and raised right and not a spoiled brat just because he was the next heir.  Joonmyun was 16 now…just a few years younger than Minho.  How time flies.

“Ah Ryeowook. What brings you here?” his highness asked with neutral eyes.

“I have something I would like to discuss with you your highness….if I may be permitted.”

“Oh? On what grounds?”

“It involves the prisoner your highness…” he nodded.

“Ah another status report.  Alright, let us retire to my study.” His highness said getting up.

“Don’t be too long dear…” said his lovely wife.

“Of course not Katharine.” His highness said.  We then exited and headed to his study.  Once the door was closed, his highness dropped his composer slightly.  He poor a glass of wine, and offer some to me.

“Ah no thank you your majesty…” he chuckled lightly.

“Oh don’t be so uptight old friend…unwind with me.” I rolled my eyes and took the glass.  Now if anyone else was seeing this I could lose my position for being so causal with his highness, but over the years we have found a close friendship within each other.

“So what of the young man in the prison? Is he doing better?” I nodded my head and smiled. His majesty was truely kind.

“Yes he is….um about him though your highness…” his highness looked at me skeptically.

“Yes Ryeowook, and how many times do I have to inform you that when we are alone you may call me by my more modern name.  The Korean one preferably…Dracula is so strung out….” I chuckled.

“Yes…well back to the boy….I did a blood test on him and well….” I held out the results to him.  He read over them and his eyes grew.

“N-no…It can’t be….the last known child born with purple blood was….” He put his hands over his mouth as he realized.  His eyes filled with tears.  I put my hand on his shoulder.

“Siwon…”

“Ryeowook….where is the boy….”

“W-well he was sick so I took him from his cell and put him in a guest room…” he nodded, not at all furious that I took some matters into my own hands.

“Show me to his room….”  I nodded and led him there.  When we neared the room I lightly knocked on it.  I heard a come in.

“Minho?” Minho looked my way and smiled. Taemin was sleeping soundly.

“Yes hyung?”

“Um there’s someone who would like to see you…” he looked at me weirdly but nodded. I motioned for his majesty to come in.  As soon as he stepped in Minho tensed up, and dropped to his knees.

“Y-your highness….I’m sorry….please don’t punish Ryeowook hyung he was just trying to take care of me….”  I stepped aside as his highness walked in towards Minho.

“Rise young man.” He said in a deep voice.  Minho hesitantly rose and their eyes met.  His majesty hesitantly brought his hand to Minho’s face and looked it over.  He then turned to look at the sleeping figure in the bed.

“And who might this be?”

“Taemin…my boyfriend.” Minho said with a strong voice moving towards him in a protective stance. His highness nodded.

“And w-what is your name…”

“Minho sir….Choi Minho.” He gave a small smile and his eyes glistened slightly.

“That’s a… that’s a great name…excuse me...” he said with a shaky voice. I followed his majesty out the door and placed an assuring hand on his shoulder.

“Your maj….Siwon….are you alright?” I asked with concern. I heard a low sniff and him straighten himself out.

“Yes I’m fine….I want a letter sent to the divine council.  Tell them I want to see them tomorrow.  I want this mess cleaned up immediately.” I looked at him surprised.

“But sir…isn’t that quite short notice?”

“I don’t care. Tell them no exceptions.  I want their angelic asses here tomorrow.  That is all.”  Siwon then disappeared into his study.  I guess he wasn’t going back to Lady Katherine or Joonmyun for awhile. I sighed and looked through the crack into the room where Minho was. I smiled softly.  I wonder how the boy will take it when he finds out.  I could only hope, as I made my way to my study to prepare the letter, that he would be just as excited as Siwon.
