" Yes, it was very fortunate that I found them, after all, I saw my parents die," Shuriki said. Seeing Shuriki sad made Isabel nudge her. She snuggled around Shuriki's waist. Isabel was terrified, but she knew Shuriki wasn't lying to her. The memories of her parents torturing her was all the proof she needed.

" So what do you need my help with?" Isabel asked after she let Shuriki play with her hair for a few minutes.

" I can revive your parents, but I don't have all the ingredients, I need to go on a quest to find them," Shuriki answered. Isabel's eyes lit up.

" You want me to go on a quest with you?" she asked. Shuriki rubbed Isabel's hair.

" Yes, you'll understand why eventually," Shurki said. Isabel let Shuriki kiss her on the forehead.

" I'm coming too," Esteban stated.

" You don't have to do that. I don't want you to get hurt," Shuriki replied.

" I want to come. You know, to help you on the quest and keeping Isabel safe," Esteban told her. Shuriki was reluctant at first, but eventually agreed. Isabel cheered and panted excitedly like a dog. Shuriki and Esteban chuckled. " Alright, let's pack some stuff up and go," Shuriki commanded. Esteban nodded.

A few minutes later, they finished packing everything they would need for the quest. Isabel kept pushing them to go faster. She had never been on an actual adventure before. The trio got in a carriage and took off.

" So where are we going?" Isabel asked. " To a mystery mountain, it has most of the ingredients we need, the rest I already have," Shuriki answered. Isabel nodded with excitement. Esteban hadn't seen that side of her in a long time. Isabel fell asleep after a few minutes of being on the road.

" This is going better than I thought it would," Esteban remarked. Shuriki nodded with agreement.

" Yeah, I didn't think she would believe me so easily," she replied.

Shuriki and Esteban locked eyes and blushed. " It was very sweet of you to come with me," Shuriki commented.

" Yeah, well, I love you and Isabel," Esteban replied. They both blushed even harder. They pecked each other on the lips before Isabel slightly woke up. " How long does it take to get there?" she asked.

" About a day," Shuriki answered. Isabel groaned before falling back asleep. Shuriki and Esteban chuckled. Shuriki stared at Isabel for a while.

" She's such a beautiful child," she remarked.

" Yeah, she really is," Esteban agreed.

" I'm so glad I have her back," Shuriki admitted. She went back to watching her niece sleep.

" When are you going to tell her?" Esteban questioned. Shuriki looked up.

" Tell her what?" she inquired.

" You know, she's a vampire," Esteban answered.

" Oh, in all due time, my boy," Shuriki told him. They both shared a look. Shuriki wanted Esteban to be hers, but she also didn't want to make him a vampire. Esteban told her it would be fine. Shuriki had yet to believe that. The two of them would share a kiss every now and then. Isabel would wake up and ask if they were there yet or for some food. Shuriki couldn't help but laugh at how much the girl loved to eat.

" She loves food," Shuriki stated. Esteban couldn't help but laugh.

" This is true," he agreed. The both of them shared a laugh and another kiss. " When will you want to do something more with me?" Esteban inquired. Shurki looked up at him.

" I want to, my boy, but what if I accidently bite you then become addicted to your blood," Shurki said.

" You won't, plus, I wouldn't mind being a vampire if it meant having you know what with you," Esteban admitted. Shuriki chuckled. " Maybe someday, boy," Shuriki promised. " Can I have some more food?" Shuriki and Esteban looked to see Isabel half awake.

" No, you already six times on our way here, calm down, piglet," Shuriki told her. Isabel pouted, but fell back to sleep ten seconds later. Shuriki looked up at Esteban, who smiled.

Esteban and Shuriki played games while Isabel slept. They played would you rather, twenty questions, rock, paper, scissors, and eye spy. Isabel didn't wake up at all, but Shuriki and Esteban comforted her when she began shaking due to a nightmare.

" Isabel, Isabel, child, Isa," Isabel woke up to see Shuriki looking down at her. " Que, que?" Isabel asked." We're here," Shuriki answered. Isabel sat up and looked around. " Woah," she gasped.

The mountain wasn't beautiful but very interesting. It was mysterious, dark, rocky, cold, and slippery. Shuriki helped Isabel out of the carriage. " Careful, child," she commanded. Isabel nodded. They trio began walking, starting their quest. They had no idea what they had coming to them.
