Changbin snapped out of the shock that took over him fairly quickly when the first Vampire jumped down from the second floor and headed towards the line that held females.

Changbin looked up at where Jisung had stood, only to see that he and Jaeha were nowhere to be seen.

His heartbeat thrumming loudly inside his chest, Changbin quickly pushed through the throng of male students, not that surprised when they barely showed him resistance. They were under Jisung's control, so they had no sense of reality.

He had to find a way to snap them out of the spell that Jisung and the other Vampires had them under, but he had to get to Felix first. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if something bad happened to Felix.

The Vampires were starting to feed on their first victims, but Changbin didn't let that distract him. They hadn't noticed Changbin yet, so the half demon had to be fast.

Since there were so many guys around him, it took him a while to find Felix, even mistaking some people as the Australian because of their hair colour.

When Changbin took notice of Felix behind a couple of males, he gripped the taller's wrist, staring right at him. Felix's eyes were unfocused and his expression appeared absentminded. He was looking at Changbin, but he wasn't looking at him.

"Felix," Changbin breathed out, his voice betraying how scared he was, "listen to me."

Felix was still unresponsive, which made Changbin even more anxious because the clock was ticking and if he didn't act fast, the Vampires would have more students to feed on.

"Felix, please snap out of it, okay?" Changbin tried to channel his own version of mind control, because Demons and demon hybrids had it to some degree, though it was nowhere as powerful as a Vampire's. "You're being controlled by Jisung, but I need you to come back to realityokay? We need to get out of here." Changbin softly cupped Felix's face with his hands. "Please."

Felix continued staring at Changbin, but then he blinked, confusion taking over his delicate features.

"What...what happened?" Felix questioned, and Changbin stared back at the crowd of unaware students in the midst of blood sucking Vampires.

"Shh," Changbin warned, holding Felix's hand. "...Just come with me."

Fortunately, Felix kept his questions at bay and followed Changbin as they slithered through the line of males, quickly heading towards one of the dark hallways.

"What's happening?" Felix asked as soon as Changbin let his hand go. The Australian was staring at the rest of the students, puzzled as to why they looked so emotionless.

"Jisung's a Vampire. He put everyone under mind control to be food for other Vampires, including you, but I snapped you out of it," Changbin quickly explained, watching as fear took over Felix's eyes at the mention of who Jisung really was. "He--he took Jaeha somewhere with him, probably because she's not a full human. I need to find where he went to and put an end to all this."

"I'm not letting you go anywhere alone," Felix said, entwining Changbin's hand in his.

Changbin's heart swelled with happiness due to Felix's words, but that feeling quickly vanished when he realized the situation they were in. "I-I can't let you go with me to find Jisung. You're human, so that means you can easily be controlled into doing whatever those Vampires want you to do. I just need you to stay here, because it's safe, and stay hidden from view. You can't go outside too, because the house is most likely locked in."

Felix looked extremely hesitant to listen to Changbin's instructions, but eventually, he curtly nodded, relunctant to let Changbin's hand go. "Just...just promise me you'll be safe, yeah?"

"I will," Changbin replied, before runing through the hallway and up the spiralling steps. He heard something collide with the floor, but he didn't have enough time to look back and see what it was.

The darkness that was prevalent throughout the house helped Changbin hide himself from the Vampires, and his ears picked up on light footsteps that rounded down a corner. He let his hearing direct him towards where he needed to go, and after climbing some stairs, he spotted Jisung gripping the arm of an unresponsive Jaeha who just let Jisung drag her wherever he liked.

With bated breath and quick but light footsteps, Changbin followed behind Jisung without the Vampire knowing. It was when they came across an elevator that Jisung swiftly turned around, meeting Changbin's eyes.

Slight surprise overtook Jisung's copper coloured irises, but that emotion quickly disappeared.

"Where are you going with Jaeha?" Changbin asked.

"None of your business," Jisung spat, before smirking a bit. "Where's your boyfriend? I thought you guys would be busy trying to escape."

"You think I don't know that other Vampires are probably outside?" Changbin narrowed his eyes. "And I can't leave without making you stop whatever it is that you're doing," he glanced at the half angel next to Jisung, "and to leave Jaeha alone."

"Who cares anyway?" Jisung gave a noncommital shrug, "my brothers won't hurt those students. Maybe. They just want their blood. No one'll remember anything tomorrow anyway, at least the ones who survive."

"Why are you doing this?" Changbin asked, hoping to try and stall Jisung from whatever he was planning to do with Jaeha, and maybe try and convince him to stop the mind control he had the students under. "I...I thought you liked everyone."

"I don't like anyone here. The only person I slightly tolerate is you, because we are similar, but that's it."

Changbin didn't expect Jisung's answer at all. "Then...why did you treat me like you did?"

"Because that was what everyone was doing," Jisung replied, chuckling lowly, even if it held no trace of humour in it. "Everyone was hating on you, so I did it too. My hate only grew for those humans, because I realized that they'd do the same to me too if they knew who I really was. You should be glad that all this is happening. All the people that treated you like shit are now getting hurt."

Changbin stared down at those students below him, all of who were under the mercy of Vampires that he'd never seen before. True, a majority of them participated in treating Changbin badly and judged him because he wasn't like them, but that didn't mean that he could watch them die like this.

Jisung glanced at his watch, before tugging on Jaeha's wrist. "It's been great chatting with you, Changbin, but I have to leave now."

Changbin quickly spun around, seeing that Jisung and Jaeha were getting closer to that elevator. He promptly took a few steps towards them and pulled Jaeha away, seperating her and Jisung.

Jisung frowned, the red in his eyes glowing with more intensity. "What the fuck are you doing?"

"Yes, Jaeha and the others might've treated me badly over the years, but I can't let you do anything bad to them, or her. Please, stop this," Changbin said.

For a moment, Jisung's shoulder sagged a bit, and he tightly shut his eyes. "...No, you must do this, Jisung. You must..."

Chnagbin steadily pulled Jaeha backwards with him, confused with Jisung's sudden strange behaviour. The Vampire clutched his head with his hands, running his hands through his dark hair over and over again.

Then, all that stopped. Jisung stood up straight, his calm expression causing a chill to run down Changbin's spine.

With two abrupt steps, Jisung was suddenly in front of Changbin and grabbed his neck, lifting him and harshly tossing him to one side. Pain seeped through every bone in Changbin's body, and he tried to stand up, minor black dots clouding his vision.

Jisung grabbed Jaeha's hand and pulled her with him towards the elevator, his movements unsually sharp and hurried. He had no time to waste. He pressed on the botton that was responsible for opening the elevator, and loudly cursed when it couldn't open.

He casted one look Changbin's way, and ran up the stairs that were going to lead him to his destination, with Jaeha by his side.

Changbin gritted his teeth, and forced himself to get back on his feet. His neck ached, but he ignored it for now, following after Jisung and Jaeha.

He spotted a pair of wings and long black hair at the right, and knew it was Jaeha. Quickening his steps, he continued moving until he was just a few feet behind them. Changbin realized that Jisung was heading to the roof, and that brought a feeling of apprehension over the demon hybrid, because who knew the reason why Jisung was going there?

"You're still here?" Jisung asked, glaring at Changbin. "Go away. You're not needed."

"Let Jaeha go."

"She's needed. So obviously, I can't let her go," Jisung shrugged, once again.

Changbin wondered why on earth Jisung would need Jaeha like this, since she wasn't even fully human. Then it dawned on him that Jaeha was half angel, so that meant her blood was more valueable than a mere human's own. There must've been another Vampire on the roof that was waiting for Jaeha, or Jisung was going to have her for himself.

Changbin got distracted from his thoughts when searing pain flowed through his face, and his back collided with the floor. Jisung had punched him, and now he was flinging his hands back and forth, his eyebrows knitted with obvious annoyance.

"You don't give up, do you?" Jisung questioned with a bitter tone. "Stop trying to be a hero and leave Jaeha and I alone. Jiwon's waiting."

Changbin stood up and without warning ran towards Jisung and roughly hit him, causing the Vampire to fall and skid over the linoleum floor. Changbin hadn't tested his strength like this on anyone before, but now he fully knew what he was capable of.

Jisung flew towards Changbin in record time, and grabbed on his clothes, kicking him in the abdomen. "Fuck off, Demon."

He kept on kicking at Changbin, and each hit hurt more than the last. Changbin was sure Jisung was going to break some ribs if he continued like this.

Changbin clenched his fist and slammed it against Jisung's jaw, making the taller male stagger backwards. He used that time to grab Jisung's shoulders, and kneed him across the floors like Jisung had previously done.

Changbin's heart was beating at a quicker pace than before, plus he felt more weary than ever, but he ignored that feeling. He couldn't afford to be distracted, because he knew he could die at the hands of Jisung if he wasn't paying attention.

Jisung had already come back for him, and when the Vampire twisted Changbin's arm so much that it hurt a lot, Changbin looked right at Jisung, trying to ignore how blurry his vision was getting.

"Don't...don't do this," Changbin muttered, and for a slight second, Jisung looked vulnerable.

"Leave me alone! I...I can't disappoint Jiwon!" Jisung exclaimed, forcefully pushing Changbin down to his knees. Changbin chewed on his lip to try and conceal the amount of pain that he felt. "I don't want to hurt or kill you, but you leave me no choice."

A couple of floors down, the sound of a door breaking apart was heard, followed by a couple of screams. Jisung looked ahead of him, before suddenly letting Changbin go.

The Vampire quickly made his way over to where Jaeha stood, flinging her over his shoulder like it was no big deal, and headed up the final flight of stairs.

The commotion below Changbin got louder and louder, and Changbin started walking once again. His left leg stung so bad, and every breath he took felt like he was swallowing shards of glass. He was sure there was some blood here and there on his face, but he didn't have time to check up on it now.

Getting to the top of the stairs took some time, but Changbin eventually made it. There was a black door at the end of it all, and Changbin used all of his strength to push it open and step out.

He almost fell backwards due to the intensity of the wind that surrounded the rooftop, but that wasn't what caught his attention.

Right at the end of the roof was this kind of bright blue portal that swirled around in an anticlockwise motion. In front of it were Jisung and Jaeha, standing as if they were waiting for something.

Changbin'd heard of portals that could only open on the night of Halloween, and he guessed that this was one of them.

Something dark and unknown started forging before them, and Jisung took a few steps backwards, clasping his hands behind his back. The dark figure started becoming more opaque and human-like, and that was when Jisung turned around and saw Changbin there.

"Get out of here!" Jisung shouted, but it sounded more like a desperate plea. The shadow in front of the porch continued to form. "Now."

A sinister smile made its way on the shadow's face, and Changbin stepped forward, only for Jisung to grab his wrist to prevent him from moving any further.

"Get out of here. You will die if you don't move," Jisung commanded.

"Destroy the portal."

"I can't, and I won't." Jisung moved closer to Changbin and pushed him backwards. "Leave."

In the next second, the door was slammed open, and Changbin watched with disbelief when Woojin pulled Jaeha behind him and Minho walked over to the portal and started closing it up with a few chants.

Jisung's expression became one of apparent fury, and headed straight for Minho when Seungmin ran up behind him and covered his eyes. Jisung immediately fell into the Elf's arms, unconscious.

"What...what is happening?" Changbin asked. Two arms snaked around him, and Changbin winced, turning around to see Felix there. The Australian had a few cuts and scratches here and there, and he smiled when he and Changbin stared at each other.

"You're safe, okay? Everyone is. Minho closed up that portal, so everything's going to be fine."

"...Where are Chan and Jeongin?" Changbin asked, his voice a bit jumbled up. It wasn't his fault, as he was tired and in pain.

"Fighting off the rest of the Vampires. But...they're no threat to us now," Felix reassured, slowly stroking Changbin's hair, "Thank you for stalling Jisung until Chan and his friends came, baby."

Changbin nodded. He felt happy that everything was getting fixed now, and that Felix was safe and holding him in his arms. So when he closed his eyes, he didn't really mind it when darkness coated his vision.
