Dante POV

"What do you mean 'vampire'? They don't exist!" I growled. How could it be an vampire? I want to find what actually happened, not this!

I help Lok to my chest, to keep him safe. He's shivering, it mean he either cold or scared. I bet he scared.

"I know they shouldn't! The last time they were spotted was 50 year ago. My... someone close to me said they must of die out, I guess not"

"I'm... a vampire?" Lok said scared.

"wait, we don't know that. My friend told me some trick to find a vampire. the easiest and most affect one I can get done in five minutes. Cherit, come and help me." Zahail said as she walks out of the room, Cherit following after her.

"what in the world make her so shore Lok a vampire? Or that they even exist." I said with a growl. I don't really get angry with Zahail, manly because she a adult how know what there going, but this? This was stupid!

"well, I don't want to say she right but the wound is similar. But we don't know until we know what happened!" Sofie said speeding up at the end. I hate that it has reason to it.

I pull Lok head under my chin and lent back. This made Lok lay on chest and look up at me confused for a second then lay his head down. I hope this isn't to wired. It been carming him down, he pretty much back to normal, just a dit scared.

" Well, what happened was I look out the window and saw the boy. You know, the one with purple hair. I saw him in one of my vision and I want to talk to him." Lok start to explain. At least he's talking. It was still soft.

"you mean the one the ring gave us? why would you go looking for that? unless it was a good vision you shouldn't of gone after it."

"let me finish, Sofie. Anyway I left the house, while you were showting something, Dante, and followed the boy. We came to a street and some men were being mean to him. One punched him and then got a knife out. He was going to kill him! I intervened and called freelancer to help me get them to leave. and the did! they were running scared! I when to check one the boy and he changed at my neck. I felt everything drain. then Dante found me and well you know the reat" Lok explain. He shyly smile at the end of it.

I felt bad I was thinking of hunting the man down and kill him! when he was just seem scared. Still he's not welcome. He hurt one of my friends, and I won't forgive that.

Lok POV

It feels off saying this out loud. Everything was off. I been bit by a boy, and that maid my feel so tired. I been called a vampire. And my head hurt. Why was this happening to me? What did I do?

At least I'm safe. Although it is wired, I feel safe in Dante grasp. He not going to let anything hurt me, nor his he going to hurt me. It also comfortable being near someone, no alone in the cold.

Dante started stroking my hair, once I finished. Was it to make me feel better? I hope it was, because if it wasn't then that would be very wired. We sat in silence for a coupe of minutes.

suddenly, there was a horrible smell coming from somewhere. It burned my noise and made my head sting. I cover my nose and planted my face in Dante's chest. This stop the smell from reaching me.

"That proves it, vampire attack" Someone said. I think it was Zahail.

"who does that prove it?" Sofie said

"the smell from this food is harmful to vampires and a few Titans like antedeluvian." Zahail said.

"If it hurting Lok, then get it away!" Dante said. I didn't pay attention to the rest. If it hurt vampire and me, that means I'm a vampire? I.. are they going to frough me out?

"why is it hurting Lok? Did...did he... has he..." Sofie ask stumbling. I feel tears starting to form.

"does that matter? He's part of our team. No matter what." Dante said. He being really kind to me for some reason. "If Lok a vampire, we will just have to find a way to take care of him."

"your right Dante. Should we tell the huntik counsel? Maybe they know what to do."

"No. If Lok not one, we don't want to get them into this mess. If he is they might want to kill or experiment on Lok. I will never let that happen. We can protect him our selves."

"It may take so time to know for sure. Still we need to figure out how we can get the thinks Lok will need" Zahail said as she sat down on the couch next to the on we were on. "I can ask my friend for a book on the matter."

"I can help pay for something. I have the money, just as long as they don't draw attention to us" Sofie said.

It been a long day and I'm just so hungry. I think we all are. We've had no food since we came back, and it could help carm are mines.

"I'm hungry" I say quietly. Dante was the only one that heard me.

"I think food a great idea, Lok. Let me make some." Dante said as he sat up right, holding me close so I didn't fall off.

"No Dante, let my and Sofie do it. You need to stay with your vampire." Zahail said, as they left.

His vampire? HIS VAMPIRE?! since when was I DANTE'S VAMPIRE!? Just course he saved me doesn't mean I belong to him. He's my teacher, and friend!

I knew I was blushing, I didn't care. I try a get out of Dante's lap, but he kept me close.

"At least I have one!" Dante yelled back as he laughs. I give him a angry look. He see it and settle down.

"It was a joke" he said. I turning my head away.

"Lok, I didn't mean it." he says. I grow quietly.

"I want to go to bed" I said coldly. " I just need to rest for a bit."

I walk to my room. I couldn't talk. How could he just say I'm his like that? Still I it wasn't a lie, I'm so tried. I probably would of feel asleep in Dante lap.

my room is small, but I like it. It has a large window. The bed had a blue cover on it. I sat down on the bed. It was a so quite.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" Someone said. It was soft and gentle. I didn't know how it is or where they were.

Someone entered my room. it was the boy. he still had his red bow in.

I sat up. He came close and sat next to me. He could help me. He could explain and teach me. I want to know what happening to me. He will help me. what am I say?

He look so sad, so scared. Is he worrying about something? he places a hand on my head and stroke my check.

"you-"

"don't talk please. I sorry I didn't mean to dite you. I was scard" He said as he held my head close. "you don't have to worry I can look after you, my cub."

I close my eyes and smile.

Dante POV

Great! Mine and Zahail little joke insulated Lok! Now, he hate me! Probably Zahail to. Could of just keep my mouth shut, could I?. I'm so mad at Zahail for this. It her fault! When I get a moment with her, she will have to come up with a good apologize for Lok.

I'm slowly walk to Lok room. I doing it slowly so I could think of something to say. why is this so confusing?

I open the door to see the boy who started this hole mess cradling Lok head in his chest.

I'm going to kill him.
