Byungho stared out of his room's window absentmindedly. He was seated on the windowsill with his back leaning onto the wall. Outside were snowflakes who seemingly danced from the sky to the already in white covered ground of the Kim mansion's garden.

The male with the brown hair wasn't focusing on the snowflakes though, no his gaze was focused on one specific spot a little above the garden, where you could see a sort of light blue glimmer. This little glimmer was the only thing you could see from the barrier, which protected the mansion.

Only yesterday when Byungho was brought home safely by his mother along with Seungmin had he accidentally overheard a conversation between Athea and his father, which revealed to him that his so called home had not only barriers that kept intruders away but also one that could protect the mansion from being seen as something supernatural by humans. It basically meant that for the human eye the mansion now looked abandoned while in reality nothing had changed at all.

This barrier was probably one of the few benefits of having the devil as your father. After all he was a very powerful sorcerer and wanted his home to be well protected from everything, that was why he created this barrier and gave Athea the power to activate and deactivate it.

But the aftereffect of this barrier along with the current situation was that none of the Kim siblings were allowed to go outside if it wasn't absolutely necessary, not even Byungho and he probably had the most understanding mother.

Eve was very worried about her son and family because not even she, as an angle, had foreseen the sudden fall of the barrier, that kept the supernatural world hidden for centuries. Lucifer wasn't any better. He seemed to be on the edge as well as stressed beyond compare but nobody knew why and this resulted in a rather tense and uncomfortable atmosphere within the mansion. It was suffocating in Byungho's opinion.

He has never seen his parents this stressed and worried but some part of him was too afraid to ask them what was really wrong because he didn't believe it was only the fall of the barrier that caused their strange behavior.

His brothers weren't really relaxed either. Samuel was stuck to his mother, whose presence was the biggest comfort to him, Woosu had to be his mother's assistant most of the time, Wonpil and Seungmin seemed just overall nervous and anxious. There was just no one in this household Byungho could spend time with, without having to be reminded what was going on outside of the mansion.

Byungho also asked himself why none of the powerful creatures of his family like his father, mother or Lilith seemed to plan on doing something against the exposure of the supernatural world to the human one. They seemed to just accept it like a fact, that couldn't be changed no matter what you did.

A sudden 'bing' sound ripped Byungho out of his thoughts and made him flinch a little but it was only his phone which laid on his nightstand. The male shook his head lightly, pushing all the frightening thoughts in the back of his mind. He stood up from his current place on the windowsill and walked over to his nightstand, so he could look at the notification he got.

As soon as he saw that the notification was from the emergency news website of the supernatural world he felt uneasy and anxious once more. The title read "Important information for every creature. The barrier has fallen" and it made Byungho's chest tighten.

Good thing Byungho could lie like a demon because he surely had done that when he told his friends everything would be fine.

Felix sleepily walked down the stairs into the living room. He had only slept around three hours last night because he stayed awake until his mother had arrived at home around four in the morning and then he hadn't slept properly because there was this anxious feeling clawing in his chest.

It was strange to the teen because normally he slept very well cuddled up to his mother and older brother. The idea of just sleeping all together in one bed came from Mrs. Lee, maybe because she almost cried while hugging her two boys after she had came home.

She had been just so relived that her boys were fine, even though she had heard their voices over the phone she just couldn't hold back the few tears of relief that had escape her eyes when she gave them both a kiss on the head.

Minho and Felix had been sure that their mother would immediately bring them to the territory of the sky clan, which was pretty far away from Yellow Wood but she had said nothing about that, at least not until now. She had only thanked the gods that they were okay and then suggested a little bit of sleep. Since she had seemed pretty tired the boys had said nothing against this idea, even though they both didn't have the feeling they would be able to sleep.

They were proven wrong though because they both fell asleep cuddled up to their mother in the gigantic bed of their parents. Minho was still asleep in said bed buried under a fluffy blanket and Felix only woke up because he had notice that his mother had gone downstairs, which had made him do the same almost automatically.

Entering the living room the ginger saw his mother sitting on the couch with her laptop on her lap, seemingly reading something Felix couldn't properly see with his tired eyes. Like a toddler the young male waddled over to the couch, flopping down onto it and then curling into his mother's side like a scared little kitten while she continued to read.

The young cat hybrid now saw that his mother was reading an article released on the emergency news website of the supernatural world. The article covered the topic of the fallen barrier and how to deal with it.

The main focus of the text laid on giving advice for efficient hiding to the supernatural citizens. At some parts it was even advised to leave bigger towns to go to rather abandoned villages were no humans lived nearby like the ones in the deepest forests or mountains. Sea creatures were made the offer of leaving the land completely and move to Atlantis, the more abandoned than lost city of mermaids and mermen.

Reading this scared the hell out of Felix. He stiffened while he stared at the screen with wide eyes. His mother seemed to have noticed that even though she was one of the people that barely reacted to anything when they were concentrated.

"Hey there. No need to be scared. We will manage this situation", she reassured her son in a soft tone while also wrapping one arm around him. Her dark brown eyes, which were now focused on her son instead of the laptop screen held a motherly warmth. Felix looked up to his mother for a brief moment before he snuggled even closer into her in search of more reassurance, warmth and comfort. Her familiar scent began to surround him and it made the young cat hybrid relax a little bit. The thought of being safe as long as he was with his mother came almost naturally.

"Will we go to the territory of the sky clan?", Felix asked with a rough and sleepy voice, glancing up to his mother once more. She still looked down at him with a loving gaze. "Yes but before that you should get a little more sleep, hon", she answered still speaking in a soft tone while gently stroking her son's shoulder.

Slowly Felix's eyes began to drop close again when his mother began to run her finger through his ginger hair. "Don't worry, Felix. I will protect you and your brother even when it's the last thing I do", he could hear his mother whisper before he was off to dreamland.

Jisung stared at the clock from his upside-down position like he could melt it with only his gaze. It had been around half an hour since the warlock randomly decided it would be a good idea to put his legs over the back rest of the couch, then hang upside-down and stare at the clock for no reason. He could have used his phone to entertain himself but no he chose a staring contest with the clock, whose regular ticking noise was the only sound that filled the gigantic main living room of the Seo castle.

"Why are you having a staring contest with the clock while laying on the couch like that?", the warlock could hear someone ask. He pulled himself up to see the blond vampire with glasses, who was officially introduced to him as Jae, technically today, since it must have around two in the morning when he came to Felix's and Minho's house along with Changkyun to escort Changbin and Jisung to the castle of the vampire prince. But Jisung had already known him as one of Wonpil's friends since he was there when they visited his best friend's older brother by coming through the window. Not the best first meeting but at least special.

"Honestly I am just bored and I try to avoid thinking about what happened yesterday", the warlock answered in a not so happy tone but pretty honestly.

The real reason Jisung avoided using his phone and turning on the TV was simple. He didn't want to be confronted with "The fall of the barrier" like it was already called by the media of the supernatural world.

"You know that avoiding it won't work forever", Jae said, walking around the couch, so he could flop down onto it beside the young warlock. "I know", the younger answered, getting into a normal sitting position.

Jisung already knew that Jae had been Changbin's babysitter for a long time since the vampire prince told him almost everything about himself. That was properly the main reason why the young warlock felt like he could trust the blond vampire with the glasses even though he barely knew him.

"When will Changbin be finished with talking to his parents? I mean it's been almost over three quarters of an hour since he went upstairs to get the phone call", the warlock asked because he really wanted to change the topic and Changbin's phone call was perfect for that since Jisung did have some questions about why the vampire prince seemingly didn't want to be in the same room with him while talking to his parents.

Jae seemingly decided to let the topic change slide and sighed. Jisung hoped dearly that the older vampire didn't think he was annoying. Somehow he wanted to be liked by Jae because he knew the blond vampire was important to Changbin.

"I don't know when Changbin will be finished talking to his parents. I guess they are discussing further plans and stuff like that. Changbin needs to be super concentrated for that", the blond answered, pushing his glasses, which had slipped down his nose a bit, back into place.

"I guess that was the reason why he said he would go to his room to take the call", Jisung huffed, leaning back into the cushion of the couch's backrest because slowly his head began to feel heavy for no reason. Did he forget to drink enough or was he falling sick or something?

This question was answered pretty fast when the warlock noticed the little blue sparks on his fingertips. "I hate that", Jisung mumbled to himself and tried to stand up but he fell back onto the couch immediately, startling Jae, who seemingly wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?", the older asked rather worried, forgetting what he wanted to say beforehand. Jisung needed to concentrate really hard to hear the older because his head slowly began to feel like it was going to explode.

"Vision. Go away from me and call Seungmin" the warlock managed to say weakly while his surroundings began to spin and slowly became blurry. Jae did what the young warlock said without further question because slowly he was scared he would get burned by the blue sparkles that came out of the younger's finger tips and got stronger by minute.

The blond fished his phone out of the back pocket of his jeans and dialed Seungmin's number while his eyes didn't leave the warlock, who seemed to slowly drift away from consciousness.

———————————

Changbin walked down the stairs and then towards the main living room. He had finished his phone call with his parents, which was about hiding the vampire community. The prince's parents wanted all vampires to move to Transylvania, the land of vampires to hide them there. This of course included Changbin and Jisung.

The vampire prince already tried to think of possibilities to tell this Jisung without having to say that they needed to basically leave everything they knew, along with their friends. It was hard to do that but Changbin knew that it was necessary to assure their safety, since no human lived in Transylvania. The humans only believed that.

But Changbin was hit with a bad surprise when he entered the main living and saw his blue-haired friend laying passed out on the couch.

"Jisung?", the vampire prince called worriedly for his friend almost automatically, who slowly got surrounded by a shimmering blue shield. He wanted to run to the warlock but Jae kept him from doing it because Seungmin had just screamed into his ear to stay away from Jisung, if he didn't have a death wish.

"We need to keep a distance between him and us", Jae told Changbin, who looked like a frightened child while looking at his friend. That wasn't far from the truth because the vampire prince was very scared for Jisung, since he had no clue what was going on with the warlock.

"Why?", the vampire prince almost whispered, his eyes never leaving Jisung's form who had now began to toss from one side to the other because he seemingly was in a lot of pain.

Jae wordlessly handed the younger his phone. Changbin looked confused at the device but then took it and held it to his ear.

"Listen up, hyung", the vampire prince heard Seungmin's voice say. "Jisung is having a vision, which sucks for everyone involved because he is in a lot of pain and watching that is probably even more painful but he will be fine. Trust me. There should be a blue shield around him right now and I swear don't touch it if you don't have a death wish. When the vision is finished this shield will disappear and Jisung will be knocked out cold for two to four hours. He will talk in his sleep and even answer you when you call him but he won't remember anything you or he said in that state. He probably won't even remember what his vision was about after waking up, so the only thing you can do for him is being patient and staying calm. Maybe also be quiet because his head hurts even more with every sound. Alright?", the redhead finished explaining.

Even though it may sound stupid but by simply explaining the situation Seungmin had managed to take some fear away from Changbin and made him calm again. He didn't really notice that himself but Jae sure did and it made him question some things.

"Alright. Thanks for explaining Seungmin", the vampire prince thanked the redhead. "Well, Jisung probably wanted me to do this since he made Jae call me. I would come over to the castle if I was allowed to go out", Seungmin lightly grumbled, which sounded kind of cute and made Changbin chuckle a bit.

Suddenly Jisung stopped tossing around in pain and became limp once more. The shield began to disappear just like Seungmin said but that also meant that he was knocked out cold now.

"The shield just went down, so I will take care of Jisung now. Thank you Seungmin", Changbin bid his goodbye rather quickly and returned the phone to Jae, so he could look how Jisung was.

The warlock laid limply on the couch like a deadman but he definitely was breathing. Changbin didn't dare to touch Jisung yet, since he really didn't have a death wish, so he kneeled down beside the couch and waited a few more minutes before he dared to bring the warlock into a more comfortable position, since the younger was sprawled on the couch rather uncomfortably.

In the meantime Jae had ended his call with Seungmin after the redhead had explained everything he needed to know about Jisung's current state in every detail.

"So now we just need to wait for him to wake up", Jae more or less stated after he had put his phone back into the pocket of his jeans. Changbin nodded and put a blanket over Jisung without really looking at his hyung. This worried the older a little bit, since Changbin was one of the persons, who were bad at hiding things that really troubled him from persons he treasured.

"What did your parents say about the fall of the barrier?", Jae asked after a little silence. "That all vampires will have to move to Transylvania", the vampire prince mumbled but loud enough for Jae to hear. You could see sadness flash in the blond's eyes and while Changbin couldn't see it since his gaze still laid on Jisung, he could feel his hyung's sadness. He also knew why Jae was sad because he also had two very close friends he would have to leave behind if he moved to Transylvania.

Jae wanted to ask when exactly all the vampires from Yellow Wood had to move to Transylvania but he kept his mouth shut when Jisung started to mumble names. "Seo Ahri, Seo Shiwon, Kim Eve, Kim Athea, Hwang Minji, Lee Minho ...", were the first names he mumbled and it was kind of scary for Changbin to hear his parents' names along with Minho's leave the warlock's lips in his current state.

The warlock mumbled some more names but it wasn't understandable anymore. Suddenly he repeated Minho's Name while frowning slightly.

"Why is he saying names?", Jae asked more himself than Changbin but the vampire prince shook his head as answer anyway. He just hoped that Jisung was saying those names without them having a bad connection to his vision.
