The time at Ru Lake went by quickly. Feliciana found time to draw and earned a lot from her drawings. Her hunch was correct the local drawing got much more attention than the ones from the previous location. Most of the local drawings did seem to come from people who lived the similar to her. Vlad was also right about the market being indoors. It made it much easier to sell on the many days it rained. One thing that was weird was that Alfred seemed to disappear every day and not come back until late at night. Whenever he was asked where he was going off to he wouldn't answer or say some place that sounded made up. Still Feliciana enjoyed her time at Ru Lake and was sad to see when they were transitioning. Every new location she went to brought new adventures and before she knew she had been living on the surface world for a year and a half.

"Okay so I think I have pin pointed every difference between a tomato and apple." Feliciana announced to Gilbert and Alfred.

"Wow a rainstorm and start of transitioning does a lot to a person's sanity." Alfred responded.

"For your information Alfred I've been working on this for a while."

"Yeah Alfred." Gilbert agreed even though it was obvious he was only agreeing with Feliciana to get on her good side.

"You trying listening to the list she made then." Alfred challenged Gilbert getting in his face.

"I will." Gilbert accepted. "Feliciana please go on."

"I don't need to I wrote everything down here." Feliciana smiled handing Gilbert a piece of paper.

"You sure do have a lot of free time." Alfred said looking over the list with Gilbert.

"You apparently did at Ru Lake disappearing every day." Feliciana teased.

"Would you please give up on that? I told you it's nothing."

"I wish we could go back there already." Feliciana said going back to those days.

"Me too so we can finally get to fishing!" Gilbert said dropping the paper with the list on it.

"After what happened last time do you really want to go back there?" Alice asked making herself some tea.

"Not in the same location. Alfred and I are going to find an area where rusalki aren't densely located. He even thinks he has the perfect spot."

"Feliciana, you were able to get the cross did you see any fish?" Alice asked curiously.

"I saw a few." Feliciana admitted. "I mean rusalki have to eat something."

"See have a chance." Gilbert said over estimating his chances of catching a fish.

"But we have no idea when we'll be back there." Alice reminded Gilbert, bursting his bubble.

"Doesn't matter Alice because it's going to happen." Gilbert walked up to the vampire. "It doesn't matter what you say because you can't stop us."

"I'm not trying too." Alice said before continuing. "You know sometimes you and Alfred make me really close to just draining you of all your blood. Then I remember."

"That you care about us." Alfred added and teased Alice.

"No another reason." Alice appeared to be disturbed by the reason as she shivered. "And you know I'm not going to be either of your mates."

"You sure." Gilbert lowered his collar and sort of put his neck in her face. "I'm pretty sure my blood taste really good."

Alice annoyed greatly by the option walked away. Feliciana didn't feel the need to ask any questions. It was pretty obvious to her. Vampires chose their mates by drinking their blood. She figured it was probably a painful process but if that's how they did chose mates she wasn't going to argue or question it.

"I guess Alice hasn't drank in a while." Alfred said annoyed.

"I think she went out a few days ago." Feliciana pointed out before going upstairs. She wasn't in the mood to continue the conversation. Once upstairs he pulled out a fresh sheet of paper and pencil and decided to start drawing. Going into her drawing state time seemed to freeze and she was in a trance. When she was done she had to take a step back. Somehow she ended up drawing a sketch of Ludwig. She had no idea why she did it but it was clearly him. The drawing had his slicked back hair, sterns eyes, and muscular build.

"How do I explain this to him if he sees this?" Feliciana asked herself. This would definitely weird him out. "It's too good to throw away and if I try to sell it he might see it somewhere."

She looked around her room a bit. "I'll just have to hide it."

Feliciana tried a bunch of hiding spots for the drawing. She first tried under her pillow but it was too easy for someone to find and Feliciana was worried that the drawing would get ripped as she slept. A stack of paper wouldn't work for it was too obvious. Eventually she hid it under her bed. It was the safest place she could think of.

"I really hope he doesn't find it."


Soon after she hid the drawing Feliciana went downstairs. She brought some paper and pencil down with her so she could do some more drawing. It really helped pass the time. When she she walked into the kitchen she saw Ludwig standing by the oven.

"Hi Ludwig what are you doing?" Feliciana asked him as she sat down.

"Hi Feliciana." Ludwig said before looking at the oven. "I'm baking."

"I've known you for a year and a half and I never knew you could bake?" Feliciana sort of joked with a smile.

"You're normally not around when I bake something, it's a hobby of mine."

"What do you like to bake?" Feliciana asked really interested.

"Mostly cakes." Ludwig looked at the oven again. "It's always been sort of a hobby of mine."

Feliciana smiled again. Despite them knowing each other for a while now, she always found something that she didn't know about him. It was really intriguing. She honestly wondered what else she didn't know about him. There seemed to be an endless possibilities of what she didn't know.

"I see you're drawing again." Ludwig took notice of Feliciana's arm movement.

"I guess it's like you and baking. It's my hobby and my career."

"I don't mind my line of work. I don't think I could do baking as my career."

"That's alright." Feliciana told him as she kept drawing. "I'm pretty sure you don't have your hobby and job be the same the thing."

"You're right about that." Ludwig agreed opening the oven door. "Well, this looks about done."

Ludwig put on protective gloves and took the cake out of the oven. It appeared to be a vanilla cake and smoke was coming out of it.

"We both can have some when it cools off. Better to wait it could burn your mouth when it's fresh out of the oven."

Feliciana had to agree with him. Once they made fish and Feliciana took a little too soon. It burned her mouth and little and it still hurt days later.

"It also be good to get first pieces because I know a few supernatural here who love to eat this up quickly."

Feliciana didn't need to hear any names she had a couple of guesses on who they could be. Being here over a year she caught wing of everyone's habits. After some time Ludwig put a slice of cake in front her. Looking up she saw eating a slice as well. She looked at it for a moment before taking a bite herself.

"This is really good." Feliciana complimented after taking a bite. "I mean it its really good."

"Thank you." Ludwig said. Feliciana smiled at him warmly as it appeared the two had grown closer.


The next day they were in the new location. It was a heavily wooded area and it looked like they were the only house for a while. Surprisingly it appeared they never been here before or as least it's been a while. It was a cozy place and Feliciana was looking forward to exploring. Even though she's been living on the surface world for a year and half every location was a new adventure to her.

"Ready to go?" Vlad asked Feliciana as he packed up his supplies.

Feliciana did a last check of her supplies before saying. "Yup, everything's here."

"Have fun guys!" Gilbert said with a smile on his face. Both of them knew why. It was a full moon tonight. No doubt the thrill of a new location excited the two lycan.

"He really does love the full moon." Feliciana noted as she and Vlad kept walking.

"It reminds them of when they were younger." Vlad started to explain. "Running freely all the time in woods, hunting, just everything about it."

"They never really told me about their time there."

"It's not my place to tell." Vlad said looking behind them. "Okay I think we're good."

"Good with what?" Feliciana looked behind them and saw nothing.

"Well it's just the two of us. Meaning I can use teleportation." Vlad had a gleeful smile on his face.

"And you haven't used this before because?" Feliciana asked.

"I'm not very good at it. At best I can teleport two people at a time including myself and I need full concentration."

Feliciana thought that was a good reason. Vlad started speaking in a different language as red smoke started surrounding them. Feliciana was freaking out in her mind but remained calm on the outside to not freak Vlad out. When the smoke cleared she found them in a different location. They were in the town square. The two went to the market place and set up shop for the day. The day got a few sales which was good for the town neither had been in before. As they were leaving Vlad stopped in his tracks. Feliciana looked and saw some tough looking supernatural sitting together. Feliciana immediately started walking the other way.

"Who were they?" Feliciana asked Vlad as they neared the edge of town.

"Probably just some punk vampires." Vlad explained as they kept walking. "I'd avoid them if I were you. I'd just hope."

Once they were out of town Vlad teleported them home again. They walked inside and found it empty. The day went by quickly and soon Ludwig and Gilbert left for their full moon transformation. After they left the remaining housemates remained in the living room doing mundane activities.

"Has anyone seen Alice?" Lovise asked taking note of the vampire's absence.

"No but I like it. It's quiet." Alfred answered relaxing more.

"She's normally back by now and she didn't seem to need to drink." Lovise walked over to the window.

"Maybe she met some vampire dude and they're totally hitting it off."

"Yes Alfred, and I have a secret boyfriend." Lovise said sarcastically.

At that moment the door slammed open and Alice ran in with her pale extremely pale. When she spoke she sounded out of breath. "Have Ludwig and Gilbert left yet?"

"You missed them Alice." Alfred explained not caring of the vampire's state. "They left right before nightfall."

"Oh no this is bad. This is bad." Alice started pacing around as Vlad approached her.

"Alice what's wrong?" He asked her as he tried to calm her down.

"There's Rouges in the area!" At that moment everyone but Feliciana gasped.

"What are rouges?" Feliciana asked nervous as well.

"They're something you want to avoid to put it lightly." Vlad explained. "We have to find Ludwig and Gilbert before they do. Or else."


Ludwig ran in woods. He felt free in the woods as the wind blew in his fur. Something about this place was so peaceful, even as his brother was chasing him. Gilbert did this almost every time and he never got bored from it. Gilbert soon ran ahead of his brother before halting.

"Gilbert what is it?" Ludwig asked confused by his brother's sudden stop.

"West let's go." Gilbert said as a low growl surrounded the two. At that moment a pack of lycan appear out of the woods.

"What are you doing here?" One of lycan asked.

"We're here temporally." Gilbert explained. "We didn't know this was your territory."

"Oh everyone knows our territory and we don't like intruders." A female lycan said as they approached closer.

"Rouges." Ludwig thought backing close to his brother.

Before anything could happen one of the lycan attacked Ludwig biting his front leg. It broke the skin and Ludwig started bleeding. The others started attacking as the brothers. The two tried to hold their ground but found it troublesome as with Ludwig's injury. The same lycan bit Ludwig again causing him to leave his transformation. At that moment the lycan whimpered in pain. There was Feliciana holding a large stick in his head and ready to attack.

AN: I'm going to leave it here. I actually was always planning on leaving this chapter off here. I know this chapter jumped around a lot but I thought it was needed for this chapter. See you next chapter.
