Arwyn's POV
The Princes have called me to a meeting about Steve. I'm leaving now with Darren. I've missed Steve so much.
"So you must be the sister Steve said he used to have," Darren points out.
"Yeah…you two were friends? Didn't you say that's how you became a vampire?"
He nodded.
"Arwyn, why didn't you tell us before?"
"It's not like I knew my brother would become a vampaneze. He's always loved vampires, even when he was young, but-"
We were at the Hall of Princes. Mika grimly met and led us in. He led me to a seat around a round table. Darren sat to my left, Vancha to my right, Arrow to the left of Darren, and Mika to the right of Vancha.
"For the sake of the clan, we need to know that you are not working for the Vampaneze," Arrow started.
"We're not saying you are," Vancha says, "but we just have to be sure."
"I understand."
Let's start from the beginning," Arrow instructs.
"When I was 14 I met Gavner Purl. Then when I was 15 I asked him if I could leave with him and become a vampire, he said yes. When he was murdered Larten Crepsly let me become his assistant to continue my training till I become full vampire."
"So you never knew your brother was a ½ vampaneze?"
"No, I haven't seen him in 18 years."
Darren spoke up:
"I agree, I met Steve right after Arwyn left. His old house was burnt down and he moved to my town when we were both 10 years old. Me and Steve were best friends. U would have known if Arwyn was there."
"STILL!" Mika yelled making me jump, "It's her brother that kidnapped Kuroi!"
Mika's eyes pierced through mine and his fist pounded on the table.
"It's not my fault," I said in defense, "I never said 'Hey Steve, be the Lord of the Vampaneze and kidnap Kuroi for me.' Kuroi was one of my best friends, Mika. You weren't the only one who lost someone."
My words seemed to shock Mika. His eyes softened and he didn't say anything else.
"What are we going to do to get her back?" Arrow asked.
"It's time Larten, Daren, and I set out on our mission again anyway, so if we find 'Steve', then we find Kuroi."
. Next Day . (Well night…)
Darren's POV
"Kirin, please let me in!" I cried.
She still hadn't come out. I waited a few seconds and as I was about to leave, I heard the door unlock. I slowly opened the door.
Kirin looked awful. Her eyes were red and puffy, and her hair looked like it hadn't been brushed for days. Kirin was looking down and the only thing I could thing of doing was hugging her.
I quickly pulled her into and embrace which surprised her. We sat on her bed and I told her that we were leaving later that day, after Arra's and the other fallen vampires cremation. After that I helped her pack.
Kirin still didn't talk a lot. I tried to comfort her as much as I could.
"Kirin, just think, would Arra want you to cry so much because of her? She would want you to move on with your life. I know what it's like to loose the only family you have. I lost my mom, dad, and my sister when I had to become a vampire. I know how you feel."
Kuroi's POV
They've blindfolded me and are traveling somewhere. I'm trying to listen to their conversations, to try and find out any important information, but they seem to be pretty careful about that.
