The door to Suho's bedroom burst open, and Kris marched in, followed by Tao and Sehun. "Suho, get up." Wu Fan commanded. "Minseok and Kyungsoo have been taken." His startled eyes blinking open, Jongdae clung tighter to Suho, wrapping his weak arms around him like a baby koala. Suho gently stoked his hair, restoring his peace. He reluctantly let go of Suho, allowing the older male to elegantly climb out of the bed.

Slipping on a red shirt and black jeans, Suho asked Kris, "What's the situation?"

"We don't know why, or where to, but I predict that sooner or later, whoever's doing this will (try to) take us all."

"What about Chen and Sehun... Do you think they'll be safe on their own?"

The look in Kris' eyes told him that he didn't; neverless Kris assured him that they would both be fine, as long as they didn't leave the house and as long as they couldn't be traced back there.

"Wu Fan... What about Luhan? Did you find him? Is he ok?" Sehun choked, confused by why he was worried. 

Kris only shook his head in response, a saddened look on his face.

Xiumin and Kyungsoo had both been drugged, and when they came to - like Lay and Luhan - they were seperated by a impenetrable glass wall. This time, however, neither of them were touching the hardened concrete floor. Suspended in the air, Xiumin was hovering in a metal cage above a burning fire. He carefully considered his options: he knew he could freeze the flames below him, but when he inevitably fell, he would be impaled on the icey spikes. Which would be worse?

D.O. was also suspended in the air in a metal cage (that was identical the one Minseok was enclosed in) but instead of hovering above a pack of hungry flames, he hung over a huge crater (that was God knows how deep) in the otherwise smooth surface.

"Kyungsoo-yah!" Xiumin shouted through the sheet of glass that divided the room in half, seperating them. "Can you hear me?"

D.O. looked up, his watery eyes focusing on his hyung. "We'll be fine, right?" He sniffed.

A hearbroken expression fell upon Xiumin's face. "I don't know, D.O. I don't know."

In the black night sky, the darkly blazing moon danced ominously above the clan of distressed vampires as they hunted mercilessly for their friends. Upon Kris' command, they had divided themselves into 2 seperate groups - Wu Fan and Tao in one group, and Kai, Chanyeol, and Suho in the other. Kris - despite his ability to fly - had to stay on the ground for most of the time, in order to make sure Zitao was safe.

Kris' eyes grazed a shadow; he stopped dead, sensing danger. Tao sensed it too, and gripped Wu Fan's hand firmly, frightened. Hushed footsteps silently followed behind the two, before their owner viciously grabbed them both, knocking them unconscious and dragging them off into the darkness.

Chanyeol's spun his body round 180 degrees suddenly, his eyes hunting in the dark like searching lights. Realising his hyung was no longer by his side, Jongin stopped in his tracks. "Where's Suho?" Chanyeol asked, panicking.

"Maybe... He got lost?" It sounded more like a question than a statement.

"No, Kai. Vampires... We don't just get lost. That only happens when..." He paused, afraid of what he was about to say. "When we're taken."

"Tao and Kris. We have to tell them."

"We have to find them, first." Chanyeol muttered.

After searching for the two other vampires for an hour, Chanyeol proposed that they went back to their house, to check on 'the pets' as he called them. Jongin agreed, thinking that maybe Tao and Kris had gone back without them (though he knew that was highly unlikely.)

When they arrived back at the house they lived in with ten other vampires and two humans, Chen had gone back to sleep in the bed that he had shared with Suho for one agonizingly short night, and Sehun was pacing around the living room, unable to sleep with Luhan beside him (though he couldn't understand why.)

"Sehun - you're awake." Kai stated, surprised that the human was up so early.

"Where's Chen?" Chanyeol asked, desperation evident in his voice.

"He's sleeping." Sehun (the bubble tea maniac) answered. "Anyway, forget about Jongdae for a second. Where's Suho? And Tao and Wu Fan? AND WHERE THE HELL IS FLAMING LUHAN?!" He was shocked at himself for worrying so much about the vampire, but he couldn't hide the anxiety in his jittering voice.

Ignoring Sehun, Chanyeol continued. "He's sleeping? Where?"

Angry at being ignored, he answered him with a frustrated growl. "In Suho's room, obviously." As his hyung pushed past him to check on Chen, Sehun muttered in fury, "You peasant."

Understanding his confusion, Jongin took pity on him. "He's just worried, that's all." When he saw Sehun glance up at him, Kai proceeded to speak. "Tao, Kris, and Suho have all gone missing - they were taken. We were worried about you two."

At that moment, Chanyeol tore into the room. "He's not there! He's been taken, too!"
