Awakening

Chapter 29: The secret behind those doors

Suho's pov:

The explosion is loud and clear. Soon, all we see smoke coming from the tower of the palace. Mira face is filled with fear. Soon, the guards collapsed as they coughed up blood. I need to get out of here.

What about Mira?

Unknowingly, I grabbed her hand and ran. I said to her," Everything is going to be okay. We need to get out of here."

Mira tighten her grip on my hand. I ran to where the mirror is. We usually use a mirror as a portal to the human world and here. Without it, we will be stuck here till the next Blood moon which is a really long time.

Just then, we bumped into the twins. Hibiki and Ren might have thought that we are the intruders as they pointed their swords at us. They lowered their weapons after they realise that it is us.

Mira asked," What happened?"

Hibiki looked down as Ren said," We have been attack by an unknown force."

Hibiki lifted up his head and said," More like a shadow. Vincent and Aurora are facing him off. We are tasked to go to the south tower and light the beacon to warn everyone to evacuate."

I asked," What about Alexander?"

They lowered their heads as tears flowed down their faces they both unisonly answered," He's dead."

Hibiki then continued," He died while."

Ren then finished his brother's sentence," Protecting us."

Soon, an army of, what it seems to be shadows behind us. I tched and said," Let's go."

The twins ran forward as I dragged Mira with me, not letting her hand go. Why are they attacking us? We had peace for a hundred years now. We have made peace with wolves, Spiritual phantasm and even witches. Maybe... I should have known. Demons...

We ran up to a tower and then hid in one of the rooms, which is actually Vincent's office . Hibiki and Ren looked down and smirked.

Hibiki said," Well I guess, Mira."

Ren then continued," Is enjoying herself."

They both pointed at our linked hands. I looked down and noticed that Mira is blushing like mad. I let go of her hand and said," Sorry."

I walked around as I looked around. I am so fascinated by the place. I am like a little child looking through a display glass of a toy shop. In all the years I have been walking through the halls of this place, this is my first time to actually step into this particular office.

I just then remembered what I asked a while ago. I looked over at the three council members. I looked particularly at Mira and said," You have not answered the question."

The twins are rather confused and rather curious of what I said. Mira sighed and said," He is asking about the lord."

By the way she said that, I guess it is true. I asked them," Who is it? The hidden ruler."

Mira looked down, averting any eye contact with me. However, the twins looked seriously at me. They said unisonly," Our apologies."

Ren then continued," We can't tell you."

Then, Hibiki continued," Even if we wanted to."

Mira then walked towards the shelves nearby Vincent's desk. She took out a book and said," We can't tell you. But this is all we can do to inform you about the lord."

Mira took a deep breath and said," All I can tell you is how I became a vampire."
