"Brother, its over. He found us and now he's going to come for me. You need to take the others and leave. Get as far away from here as you can. I'll be alright" Leeteuk mumbled as he fought the tears. He was still sat against the wall finding his body frozen in place, shock or fright he didn't know, maybe it was a little of both.

"Hyung don't be stupid! Im not leaving and neither are the others. I…" Sungmin was interrupted by the older boy, whose tears were now freefalling down his cheeks.

"Sungmin you need to go! You won't be able to stop him. We escaped him once but not again…never again." He mumbled. Sungmin stepped in front of his older brother and slapped him hard across the face, snapping him out of his daze.

"Leeteuk stop it! You're scaring the others. A letter can mean anything; he could be half way around the world right now for all we know. So get a grip."
Kangin ran over and took his boyfriend in a tight embrace as he sobbed. Sungmin paced back and forth, reading the letter over and over again.

"Minnie what's going on? What's wrong with Teukie Hyung?" Kyuhyun asked cautiously as the rest of the boys watched the oldest boy as he broke down in Kangin's arms.

"Um it's complicated. Hyukjae, Donghae, Henry can you please go play outside. I need to talk to Yesung." He smiled the best he could, trying to reassure them that everything was alright. Hyukjae sulked as the three of them headed for the door.

"Sungmin Hyung why do we have to go and Kyuhyun gets to stay and Kangin Hyung too." Sungmin's smile faded.

"Because Leeteuk needs Kangin right now. And seriously you're asking me that? Kyuhyun is recovering im hardly going to kick him out into the cold! Now go, before I lose my temper" He growled slightly, showing the blonde haired boy he was serious. Hyukjae sighed and headed outside, closing the door behind him.

"Why did you do that? Shouldn't they know what's going on? By the way… what the hell is going on?" Yesung asked as he knelt down next to Leeteuk and took his hand.

"I can't face telling them. You know what Henry is like. He will worry way too much. Hyukjae and Donghae will just make things more complicated than they need to be, and I can't deal with that right now. I'll tell them soon, just as soon as we know what's happening." He sank to his knees and sighed,

"Minnie are you going to tell me what's going on?" Kyuhyun stood up off the sofa and walked slowly to his boyfriend, who turned his head and smiled before nodding.
Kyuhyun sat down beside Sungmin and took his hand.  The five of them sat in a circle at the side of the room, Leeteuk still hadn't moved, so the others sat around him, trying to comfort him as much as they could. He removed his face from the fabric of Kangin's shirt and wiped his eyes, which were now bloodshot from crying.

"I will explain" He sniffed and brushed his hair back, away from his face. Sungmin smiled and nodded at the older boy.

I was born July 1st 1901. My father left and my mother was forced to raise me alone, she tried her best with what we were given. A week after my 24th birthday I met a man, he was a year older than me. He saved me from an icy lake I had fallen in on my way home. He was tall, taller than I was; his short brown hair framed his face perfectly, he wore a black shirt, black dress pants and black shoes, I thought he was an angel at first, I was wrong though. We started dating; keeping it secret, my mother as well as most of the people in our village, they didn't approve of same relationships. We would meet in secret everyday and spend as much time together as we could until my mother died a month later. That was the day I left and started my life with him. We moved to china, where he was from, and on that day I found out what he was. I had never been so scared before. I saw him as a monster, but he treated me so nicely. He left me for a few days for me to be on my own and get over the shock but in the three days he was gone I had never felt so alone and sad, all I wanted was to be in his arms. He returned and everything was perfect. On the 17th of April 1925 we got into an argument, he wanted to change me because he was terrified of losing me, but I refused. No matter how much I loved him I still saw him as a monster, and I didn't want to become one.

That night once the sun had set I saw the part of him I never wanted to see. I was sat on the floor of the house we shared when he helped me up off the floor and hugged me tightly, I felt uneasy about the way he was acting. He whispered Im Sorry, quietly in my ear. But before his words had a chance to register he had me pinned to the wall, his fangs buried deep in my neck I screamed and pleaded for him to stop and let me go, but he wouldn't listen it just made him bite down harder and secure his grip on my wrists. He drank from me until I was almost unconscious, and then the pain started. It was worse than I had ever known. It felt like I was being burned from the inside.

Leeteuk blinked tears from his eyes before raising his hand to his neck. Kangin looked close to see two small scars on his lover's neck. He pulled him closely as he continued.

I woke up in our bed, like I had been asleep. My whole body ached and I had this hunger deep within me that I couldn't even describe. He walked in like nothing had happened, smiling at me. He greeted me as his 'angel' and sat on the bed next to me. My first instinct was to run. So I jumped off the bed and headed for the door, of course he was there before me, and I was so weak that I collapsed in to his arms. He fed me his blood and everything was over. My human life had been taken from me against my will, but because of the bond I couldn't help but love him. I was with him for seven years. One night whilst hunting I ran and I didn't stop until I felt safe. I ended up in Japan for a few months. He hadn't found me so I assumed he had given up looking, somehow the bond was broken and I no longer felt connected to him. I moved back home to Korea and finally started to move on. It was now 1932, the year I met Sungmin.

Sungmin reached out his arm and took Leeteuk's hand. He smiled at the older boy, who smiled back though his tears.

I found him one night when I was on my way home from the local bar. A group of men were attacking him. I was about to step in to rescue him when I saw what he was, and the power he had. It turns out he didn't need my help. His magic scared me at first, but then in getting to know him I realised I had nothing to fear. We became like brothers, protecting each other with our lives, we shared a small house just outside of Seoul, where we lived for five years before moving on. We travelled the world, getting to know ourselves, each other and what we were capable of. We bonded ourselves to each other, kind of like a safety net. If one was to go missing the other would always be able to find him.
Of course now Kyuhyun is bonded to Sungmin, it no longer works.
But within the bond we had something awakened the power I had hidden within me. My psychic power. Let's just say it came in handy when we were making friends.
He eventually tracked me and Sungmin down while we were travelling America. We managed to escape him before anything happened.
Ten years ago, while we were in Japan, he found us once again, but this time we weren't so lucky. It turned into a battle, and I was almost killed, if not for Sungmin's magic I wouldn't be here today. He swore revenge before he escaped.

Leeteuk snapped out of his daze and looked up with a look of fear in his eyes.

"My ex lover's name is…ZhouMi…And he knows where we are"  

"Don't worry. Just because he knows doesn't mean he's coming, not yet anyway." Sungmin squeezed Leeteuk's hand tightly to reassure him.

"Kangin Hyung take him upstairs and stay with him please. If he tries to get out just… tie him to the bed or something. I can't have him trying anything until we have this figured out." Sungmin smiled as Kangin let out a small laugh and picked the older boy up into his arms before heading upstairs.

******

A week passed and there was still no sign of ZhouMi, and no more letters. Still Leeteuk was on edge.
Hyukjae, Donghae and Henry had been told the situation, and Henry panicked, just like Sungmin knew he would but he calmed down after a few days and things seemed to be getting back to normal.
Kyuhyun was almost back at his full strength and had started his magic training once more, without Sungmin's help this time. He found it easier to concentrate when he was alone, and it gave Sungmin chance to spend time with Leeteuk and plan for the possibility that ZhouMi would return.

Three weeks after their world was seemingly falling apart Kyuhyun finally had control over his magic. He was stronger than he had ever been, feeding everyday in between his training and meditation, which he had taken up to help he relax and focus.
He was sat under the tree in the garden and was sat clicking his fingers creating sparks.
Everyone knew not to interrupt him whilst he was in magic mode. Hyukjae learned that the hard way just days ago, when he shouted for the younger boy  and got hit with a small bolt of lightning, sending him crashing through the glass doors, luckily his body wasn't hurt, just his pride.

Sungmin walked cautiously into the garden and found Kyuhyun sat with his eyes closed, he was meditating. He sat by the door and watched as the younger boy raised his hands, holding them just inches apart, and sent sparks from one hand to the other through his fingers. Sungmin was amazed at how strong Kyuhyun had gotten within the past few weeks. He sat and watched his boyfriend. Before long he opened his eyes and saw Sungmin smiling at him, snapping him out of his study mode.

Sungmin walked over and sat beside him. Kyuhyun shuffled and sat between his boyfriend's legs, leaning back onto his chest as Sungmin's arms s around his waist, holding him tightly.

"How's training without me? You miss me yet?" He grinned as Kyuhyun nuzzled his head under Sungmin's chin.

"I missed you the very first day, although im grateful I don't have you nagging me anymore." He giggled as he heard the older boy gasp.

"Well I am honoured that you miss me sweet prince."  He felt Kyuhyun elbow him in the stomach softly.  

"Stop that. You know I hate it when you call me that" he laced his fingers with Sungmin's and squeezed his hand.

"Im sorry, you could take advantage of it but you don't. Why?"
Kyuhyun shrugged.

"I didn't know my mother. The way I see it im not a prince. It just feels weird when people say it to me. I've been a nobody all of my life, nothing is changing now that im dead." He laughed and wriggled in Sungmin's arms.

"That's not true. You are somebody to the others, to our… rather strange family." He smiled as Kyuhyun turned his head, looking him in the eyes.

"And what about you? What am I to you?"

"To me… you will always be a prince. My prince. Who lights up my life every time you smile. Breaks my heart each time you are sad. And drives me crazy almost all of the time. You are my Sweet prince Kyuhyun, and I wouldn't give you up for anything in the world." He kissed Kyuhyun on his neck as tears filled the young boy's eyes.

"I love you Minnie, Forever and always!" Kyuhyun whispered as he wrapped his arms tightly around Sungmin, who was smiling from ear to ear.

"I love you too sweet prince, always and forever"

The two of them sat under the tree for hours in silence, wrapped tightly in each other's arms. Neither of them wanting to let go.

******

"Leeteuk why didn't you tell me about you're past?"
Kangin was sat with his arms wrapped around Leeteuk on the sofa, even though life had returned to normal the oldest boy still felt uneasy about the possibility of ZhouMi returning.

"Nobody but Sungmin knew about my past until weeks ago. I don't like thinking about it so I don't tell people. It wasn't exactly the life I chose, but I moved on. I might not be able to change the past but I at least have the opportunity to find my own future." He turned to look at Kangin and smiled.

"Starting with you" he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his lover's lips and snuggled up to his chest, before long both of them were asleep.

******

"Leeteuk help!"

The two boys were suddenly awoken by Hyukjae's cries for help. Leeteuk shot upstairs to their bedroom and found him knelt on the floor, next to an unconscious Donghae. He had a cut running from his eyebrow to his hairline.

"Donghae wake up, please wake up. Stop playing around! Leeteuk I think he's dead" Hyukjae sobbed as leeteuk entered the room.

"Hyukjae what the hell happened. Yesung come here please!" He pushed the blonde haired boy out of the way as Yesung walked through the door, rubbing his eyes.

"What's going on? I was sleeping. Oh Hyukjae what have you done to him now" He grabbed a towel from the bathroom and pressed it to Donghae's head.

"Nothing it wasn't my fault. We were dancing and I don't know he just fell and hit his head on the desk. I didn't know what to do. Is he dead? He's not dead is he?" the younger boy panicked as Yesung wrapped a bandage round Donghae's head.

"He isn't dead you idiot, do you not see is chest moving. He's unconscious that's all, be more careful next time." Leeteuk snapped, startling the blonde haired boy.

"Leeteuk Hyung go, I can handle this" Yesung smiled and pushed the older boy out of the room, closing the door behind him. Leeteuk sighed and headed back downstairs.

"What happened?" Kangin asked as Leeteuk snuggled back into his arms.

"Donghae hit his head and knocked himself out. Hyukjae thought he was dead. The usual drama with those two."

******

"Yesung Hyung he is alright isn't he?" Hyukjae was still in a panic.

"Yes he's fine don't worry. He just knocked himself out. Let him sleep it off and he will be fine"

"Do you guys have to be so loud?"  Donghae groaned and opened his eyes, raising a hand to his head; Yesung smiled and helped him up off the floor and onto the bed.

"See, I told you he would be fine." He smiled and left the room, leaving Hyukjae to care for his boyfriend.

******

The next day everyone was feeling better.
Leeteuk was finally back his usual self. Having pushed thoughts of ZhouMi from his mind he could focus on returning to his normal routine of keeping the house under control and making sure everyone helps out.

Kyuhyun was excused from housework to concentrate on his magic, as was Sungmin. They started training together once again now that Kyuhyun had control over his power. They had agreed to focus on separate aspects of their magic. With Sungmin focusing more on healing and defence and Kyuhyun focusing on attack techniques, they made sure nothing was left to chance. Even though everyone had almost forgotten about ZhouMi the two boys wanted to prepare for his possible return.
Donghae and Kangin were out at the store stocking up on food while the rest of the boys cleaned the house. They had been neglecting their housework for the past week or so due to everything that had been happening. With eight of them living in the same house it's safe to say it was a mess.

"Upstairs is done!" Henry and Hyukjae sighed in perfect unison as they collapsed onto the sofa.
They were soon joined by Yesung and Leeteuk, who had been focusing on downstairs.

"Finally the house is clean and tidy. It took long enough" Leeteuk laughed as he led on the floor.

"It would have got done quicker if Sungmin Hyung and Kyuhyun had helped" Hyukjae scoffed as a small cold ball hit him on the back of the head.

"We have more important things to do than clean Hyukjae you know that." Sungmin laughed as Kyuhyun threw another ball at the blonde haired boy's head.

"I'd come and kick your for that Kyuhyun, but im to tired so it can wait until later" he giggled as another ball hit his head.

"What the Kyu? Where are they coming from?" He snapped as Kyuhyun fell to his knees with laughter.

"He's throwing snowballs at you Hyukjae. " Sungmin laughed as he picked Kyuhyun up off the floor, who was laughing too much to stand on his own. Kyuhyun sat on the seat by the window and composed himself.

"Snowballs…Have you lost your mind Sungmin Hyung? The snow went weeks ago."
Sungmin simply smiled.

"Im sorry Hyukjae but you're too much of an easy target." Kyuhyun smiled, cupping his hands together for a few seconds, before parting them and revealing a small white ball of snow.

"Wow Kyuhyun that is amazing, I had no idea your magic was that great." Leeteuk stood up and sat beside Kyuhyun, who had the biggest grin on his face as he threw the newly formed ball of snow at the blonde haired boy, hitting him in the face.

"WAIT! Hyukjae wait! Before you kill me just let me do something to cheer us all up." He giggled as the blonde haired boy glared at him, about to get up off the sofa.
He placed both of his hands against the cold window glass and closed his eyes. Leeteuk turned to look of the window. His face instantly lit up.

"It's snowing!"

Kyuhyun smiled, still concentrating, as the rest of the boys ran outside. There was already half a foot of snow on the ground by the time Kyuhyun parted with the window. He smiled and nodded, feeling like it was an acceptable amount, before he grabbed his shoes and went to join the others.
Donghae and Kangin returned from the store within a few minutes of the boys playing in the snow. They seemed unhappy with something and entered the house without saying a word to anyone, not that they noticed, everyone was having too much fun outside.

"Kangin Hyung you need to tell Leeteuk!"  Donghae whispered as they put away the food.

"I can't, not yet. You saw how happy he is now."

"Tell him what?" Sungmin was stood at the door with his arms folded across his chest.  Kangin motioned for the younger boy to come into the kitchen and gave him an envelope.

"A man gave us this on the way home. Told us to give it to Leeteuk. But I can't, he's too happy" Sungmin nodded.

"Don't worry I'll take care of it." He smiled sweetly and left the house to find Leeteuk.

"Hyung can I talk to you a minute?" he asked as he approached the oldest boy.

"Sure what is it?" the two sat down on the bench outside the house and Sungmin handed him the envelope.

"Someone gave this to Kangin when they were on their way home, he couldn't face giving it to you. Whatever it contains just remember, none of us are leaving your side, and if or rather when ZhouMi returns, Kyuhyun and I are ready" he smiled as Leeteuk took his hand and squeezed it gently.

He tore open the envelope, revealing a small square photo. He couldn't help but smile when he studied the picture. It was a photo of Leeteuk and ZhouMi, taken when Leeteuk was human, on the day the two moved in together.
Leeteuk had medium blonde hair and was dressed fully in white; he truly did look like an angel, while ZhouMi had short dark brown hair and wore all black. The two were total opposites. But they looked happy.
ZhouMi had his arms wrapped around Leeteuk's waist with his chin on the blondes shoulder. Leeteuk's hands were laced with ZhouMi's on his stomach, the both of them smiling happily with their house in the background.

"You look so different with blonde hair Hyung, it suits you" Sungmin smiled as he cuddled up to his brother's arm.

"Mhm, I did look different, and happy. I still remember that day. We had just moved into our new house, this was taken just hours before I knew what he was." He smiled and a single tear fell from his cheek. He wiped it away quickly and placed the photo back in the envelope.

"Im not dwelling on the past. My life changed after that and it was because of him. Let's just keep this to ourselves brother. I don't want to worry the others." He hugged Sungmin before getting up and walking down the garden path.

Donghae and Kangin ran over and sat on the bench.

"Sungmin Hyung is everything alright?" Donghae asked quietly.

"Ne. Everything is fine Donghae there's nothing to worry about" he smiled and walked over to join Henry building a snowman.

Everyone was happy again, the snow seemed to bring them close together as a family, but also bring out their childish side. Hyukjae was chasing Kyuhyun around the garden, with failed attempts of hitting the younger boy with snowballs. Yesung sat playing guitar before getting hit by a snowball that was intended for Kyuhyun.

"Uncle protect me!" He yelled as he hid behind Yesung giggling as his uncle took another snowball to the head.

"Yah Hyukjae hit me with another snowball and you are dead!"

Leeteuk was stood at the bottom of their large garden near the road, smiling at his crazy and dysfunctional family. He pulled out the photo and ran his eyes over it once more.
Memories of ZhouMi filled his head and tears started to gather at the corners of his eyes once more. He loved Kangin more than he had loved anyone, but there was a part of him, the smallest part of him, deep down in his heart that still loved ZhouMi, but at the same time there was a bigger part of him that was terrified of the man he once loved.

He felt two arms snake around his waist and a chin rest on his shoulder. A small smile crept onto his face before he looked up the garden to seeing Kangin sat on the bench, his smile faded when he saw that no one was missing from the garden.

Instantly he froze, remembering the only person to ever hold him like this. The grip around his waist tightened and a hand slipped over his mouth before he had the chance to shout to his family. He found himself frozen to the spot as a familiar voice whispered in his ear.

"Hello my love, my angel. Im glad I have finally found you. I've missed you oh so much." Tears fell down Leeteuk's face as he felt ZhouMi's breath on his ear.

"Please don't cry my love im not here to hurt you. Im going to take my hand away so you can speak, if you treasure your family… And that boyfriend of yours. You will not attempt to shout to them."
Leeteuk nodded and seconds later was free to speak.

"Why are you here? Why now?" he squeaked, Flinching at ZhouMi's touch as he wiped the tears falling from Leeteuk's eyes.

"Because I missed you, it has taken me this long to find you. Do you really think I would leave without seeing you? Don't be silly my angel." He kissed Leeteuk on the neck and sank his fangs into the same stop where he had originally bitten him.
Leeteuk cried as his head was filled with memories of the past, and the night he was changed against his will. ZhouMi raised his head, kissing Leeteuk's neck once again.

"ZhouMi im sorry…" he whispered as he tried to stop himself crying.

"For what my angel?" the older vampire asked, still kissing Leeteuk's neck around the new bite mark he had left.

"For what's about to happen"

Before the older vampire had chance to react, Leeteuk opened his mouth and screamed, his mouth was immediately clamped shut tightly by ZhouMi's hand. But the damage had been done.
As Sungmin turned his head and was alarmed to see ZhouMi had returned, the older vampire smirked back at the younger boy.

"You will regret that my love" He sank his fangs into Leeteuk's neck once again, deeper now than ever before forcing out a cry of pain from behind his hand, before the both of them vanished out of the sight and safety of the rest of the family.
