"You lied to your own people!" The High Priest yelled at the couple. Wizards and witches gasped and glared at the two. They were surrounded, they had nowhere to run. "He was never your son, yet he resembles you."

The witch didn't reply. Her hands were trembling and her husband held it tight.

The High Priest suddenly realized something really important and he stepped forward. He stopped one meter away from them and with his pale hand, he fixed his hair a bit.

"He's your sister's. The child, he's your sister's right?"

Donghyuck's mom met the priest's eyes and she couldn't help but nod. There was no point in hiding after all those days they were locked inside his mansion.

"Yes..." She whispered and tears started falling down her cheeks.

"But her sister was a traitor!" A wizard from the crowd shouted and many others agreed. "That bitch married an angel!"

"Silence!"

The High Priest turned around and pointed at the crowd with his wand.

"If I hear one more voice from you, that person will die."

He faced the couple again and he knelt before the witch. He knew her family history and he also knew that her sister was pregnant before she mysteriously died. His pale hand touched her head.

"We all knew what will happen before her marriage with that angel. She knew it too but she didn't listen." The priest said and looked at the witch. "The prophecy she received is now happening. Do you want to know what that prophecy said?"

The witch shook her head.

"P-Please..."

"It said: There will once be one angel among the wizards. One angel that will make Satan fear. One angel that will take his place once and forever." He looked down at her shaking shoulders. "That angel is your nephew whom you saved that day. He should have been dead."

Donghyuck opened his eyes and jumped from his bed. It was way past midnight and he had to look around to make sure he was still in Satan's palace. He was breathing fast and suddenly he felt like suffocating.

His feet led him to the balcony and he leaned over the railing. Drops of sweat were falling down his back and neck and he found his hands tremble.

What did that dream mean? Was it even real? Was this the reason why everyone was after him?

"But that doesn't make any sense." He mumbled and ruffled his hair. "Then why is Mark involved too? He did nothing wrong."

"Is little angel sad?" A smooth and annoying voice asked and Donghyuck forgot about his weird dream.

"Do you always have to be everywhere?" He turned around and glared at Renjun who jumped from the balcony of his room on his, landing right next to the angel.

The vampire chuckled.

"I'm a night creature, I don't sleep at night."

"Then go annoy someone else please."

He wasn't in the mood to argue with him at all. He wasn't in the mood to see his annoying face actually. Why was he here anyway? And why did he bring Jaemin too? Donghyuck's suddenly felt his head hurt and just wanted to be alone. He wanted to think, but it was clear that Renjun wasn't going to leave him alone soon.

"I know everyone dislikes me."

Donghyuck looked at him and said nothing. He thought that Jeno started to get close to him after that detention, maybe he thought wrong.

"I wonder why." The angel replied and looked up at the ceiling of the cave.

Renjun let out a sad chuckle.

"I'm going to annoy someone else then." Renjun jumped on the railing and waited a bit. Donghyuck looked up and he saw him looking down.

"What?"

But Renjun didn't reply and just jumped from that height. The angel started thinking of how different Chenle was from the vampire. How did that prince even accept him as a friend?

"Maybe everyone needs a friend after all." He mumbled and looked back at those fake stars.

He was sure something was coming, something bad.

Ten was wandering around the school, complaining when he would see students running on the hallways or when he would just see them making out.

Snapping his fingers, the vampire broke one wizard and one werewolf hugging and when the two students protested, he gave them detention. He knew that now, they were all friendly with everybody, but for him it was a huge problem.

He took the right and was about to go to Taeyong's office when he bumped into The High Priest himself. The warlock bowed his head and Ten tried his best not to throw up before his eyes.

Asshole, he thought and gave the man a fake smile.

"If the High Priest is here then there are some important matters to discuss right?" Ten asked and couldn't help but glance at the four wizards behind him.

What was this wizard planning? The vampire wanted to bury himself alive for some decades just to think, but he had no time for that.

"There are indeed some important matters to discuss."

Ten led him up the stairs to his office and when the four wizards were about to enter too, he stopped them.

"I never agreed of them entering my personal space."

The High Priest gave him a fake chuckle and waved a hand.

"My apologies."

When the wooden door of his office closed behind, Ten poured himself some blood into a silver goblet. He sat down in his comfy chair and looked at The High Priest.

"So, what's the matter?"

The priest gave him a cold gaze. No more fake smiles huh? Ten smirked and acted as the vampire he was for ages already.

"Donghyuck's parents died last night in a tragic accident."

The vampire suddenly froze. He saw the bright light from The Forest after midnight and that clearly wasn't a tragic accident. That was a murder, but he kept quiet and frowned in disbelief.

"I came to tell him the news."

Ten placed the goblet on the desk and sighed dramatically, as if he was hurt by their deaths.

"Well, I'm sorry to tell you, but Donghyuck disappeared few days ago."

It was so hard to hide the smirk when he saw the priest's shocked face. He wanted to tell him these words: You want him so much? Then you should visit Satan first, but of course, Ten said nothing and took a sip from the black blood in his goblet.
