Couple of days ago after the meeting, Nina was doing her homework while Erstin in the bathroom taking a bath. Nina felt two faint heartbeats next to their room, their classmates Arika and Mashiro. She is sensing their emotions from next door.

 

“Hey Nina you have any problems with your homework?” Erstin asks her. “Mr. Sergey asking me to check on you and make should you wasn't attacking the student body,” Nina is hearing her blood calling. “Father should know I can control my urges and my hunger I won't attack anybody blindly. I'm a pureblood and I have been around over four hundred years now,”

 

Erstin is watching Nina and figure it time for Nina to be feed. She held out her right wrist and Nina with her fangs growing start to penetrate the skin and drinking the blood. Erstin is experiencing an euphoric feeling when her blood was drank by Nina “I'm done, Erstin I hope I didn't drank too much from you,”

 

“I'm alright Nina, you didn't take too much of my blood I making should that you have fed as your donor and as your friend. Beside it a pleasure being around you,” Erstin is smiling at Nina.

 

“Erstin you do remember how we met?” Nina asked. “I'm rescued you from being murdered by them,” Nina's finger intertwine with hers.

 

“Yes you rescue me from being killed three years ago. Back there I was a homeless teen tried to survive on the streets,” Erstin smiled at the memory. “I am in your gratitude both of you providing me a home,” Nina felt her subtle emotions and felt a faint heartbeat within Erstin.

 

Erstin was running for her life after witnessing a gangland execution. There are five men with guns chasing her throughout the night. “Get her! Don't let her escape or she'll go to the cops,” Saying the leader of the gunmen.

 

She has kept checking behind her back if she ditching her pursuers but they still on trailing her. Erstin keep running until reaching an abandoning building where she tried to find a hiding spot. They were following Erstin to the building where they hope cornering her. She ran on the stairs to the top floor.

 

“I must hide from them or I'll be dead,” Erstin thought. She's searching somewhere to hide herself and found a bed she could use. She decided hiding under it.

 

“Spread out and find the bitch so we won't leave any witnesses behind,” Said the lead gunman. “I don't want the police to arresting us. Red Dragon won't go down that easily.” They are the most feared Triad group both in Canada and the United States.

 

Someone seeing what transpiring, stalking them like predator before pouncing for the kill. That being hearing five heartbeats and sensing various emotions in the room.

 

“Come out we won't hurt my name is Dave and I'm part of Social Welfare for Children,” He lied. “I want help find a homeless shelter for you. Society probably don't give a damn about runaways you just ending dead somewhere and the media doesn't get a shit about a young girls like you whoring yourself on the streets,” He taunted. “Be a good girl and surrender yourself then we going end your pain,”

 

Erstin held her breath hoping they would go away and leaving her alone. The predator is hearing another heartbeat among the others and making her move. Suddenly she snatching one of them takes him to nearby dark corner where she sucking his blood until he dried thus ending his life. “What the fuck! What the hell happen to Lee? He was with us one minute ago,” Reply the tall gunman. “I have bad feeling something terrible going to fall on us,” Fear smoldering the remaining four.

 

“Don't be paranoid it four of us against one person. We'll going make a hero of them,” Say Dave. “Tommy, Sam, and Len spread out and find them,” They look over the place knocking over chairs, tables, and checking corners except the bed where Erstin is hiding.

 

Then Len's head got separated from his body. “Son of a bitch! Did you saw that?” Sam asks in fear. “S-Shoot at everything until the bastard is dead,” He commend his remaining men. As they shooting at Erstin's savior in superhuman speed dodging the shots and same time taunting the gunmen. The second one decides to take cover and using the table as a shield blindly shooting away. Erstin was covering her ears from sounds of gunshots. The third to decide leave from the gun battle. “Dave, I don't want die. This is suicidal and they are just toying with us. We'd give up with our tails between our legs?”

 

“Get back you fool! We still have chance take down this fucker down,” Say the leader in desperation. Before he exit from the fight, a blur caught up to him and the screaming starts. “Oh shit! We`re some totally dead and we can't fight something we can't win against. It better we left with our lives intact,” The courage of fourth one falters. “God help us please don't let me die,”

 

Nina is smirking with confidence and air of superiority. “We've little chance in hell winning, this beyond crazy I'm done,” He starting to babble. “Hold together you fool. We only ones left and they should be tired dodging from the shoots,” Said Dave confidently.

 

“How the hell you still be confidence after what happened to us,” He trying to reason to him. “Look at me I'm panicking now I knowing we won't make it,”

 

Nina is listening song of blood, the hunger raised within her as she prepares to strike. “They're scare now here my grand finale I admitted to myself one of them is brave but foolish.” Her eyes turn into red and her mask is off with her metaphysical powers in one swoon separate the two and sinks her fangs into the second`s neck and drinking his blood through his veins until he died for excessive blood lost. Dave shot at her three times out of fear with last of his shots.

 

“I have done it! I won bitch, you're dead and I'm alive. I am the going to sleep tonight,” Said Dave while laughing from his triumph. “Finally the bitch is dead!” He kick Nina to make should isn't getting up. “Well you have killed four of my men but you are worm food now,”

 

Instantly she got up and surprising him and grabbing his neck. “B-But I kill you with three shots at point blink range,” He spoke as Nina is starting to choke the life out of him.

 

“You are the one trespass my hunting ground and chasing the poor girl,” Say Nina in anger. “P-Please I'm begging to you to spare my life,” As he grapping for air.

 

“Silence you spineless fool! I smell blood on you and you're not a vampire killer. My kind killing weaklings over centuries you not deserving a pleasant and painless death,” She snaps his neck. Her wound heals as she slips mask back on as a normal teenager than a stone cold killer. She is hears some breathing.

 

Erstin hold still from her hiding spot and praying that they won't find her or she be dead. She felt the bed move and feared this her last moments on earth. “You are okay?” Nina asked Erstin. “You safe from them because I killed all of them they won't hurt you anymore,” Nina is comforting her. “It true I hope isn't a dream that I can't wake from?” Erstin start to cry. Nina was wrapping her arms around Erstin in comfort.

 

A knock on the door broke through their reverie. “Nina I'll get the door,” Erstin open the door and seeing Arika. “Come in and tell us what happened,” Arika walk toward Erstin's bed and sat down.

 

“Mashiro-chan is mad at me because I fell asleep and was drooling on desk,” Arika was sighing. “She accusing me being lazy and neglecting my studies I'm working part-time at Linden Baum paying my tuition for school,” She's eating her pocky. “Mashiro is smarter than me and she being my tutor is a plus,” Nina observing Arika's behavior and came to conclusion that they have a fight. She and Erstin knew their not-so-secretive relationship adding their very amore display of affections causing few nosebleeds and blushes from everybody. Nina starts to grin.

 

“Arika you should apologize to her and explain the situation before you ending in the doghouse,” Nina studies Arika to gauge a reaction from her.

 

“Thinking isn't my strong suit and she is in the wrong,” She tries to defend herself. “Having a part-time job and practicing for the track team everyday, Mashiro busy being the secretary for the Student Council we doesn't time for each other,” Both Erstin and Nina have a silent agreement to talk with Mashiro tomorrow.

 

“Arika it time for us retire for night. We have get up for class in the morning,” Erstin is telling her. “Good night and see you in the morning,” She hugs Arika. “I tell Mashiro you going to talk to her,” Arika left their room.

 

Nina lay in her bed; she still thinking about Erstin whom is sleeping across from her peacefully. It is funny when a vampire falling for a mere human has captured her heart. Erstin is her forbidden fruit only she can taste it once. Life dealt a bad hand to her when she has survived the streets at very young age. On the other night Nao touched Erstin, Nina felt spark of jealousy within herself and start being protective to her donor. She could tell Sergey what happened, he probably would kill Nao but Erstin forgave her. Nina felt the rapport she shared with her father forming in her mind.

 

“Father you are just checking up on me?” She asks. “She's sleeping now and I'm thinking my time with her. We were talking the time I saved her from being a murder victim.” Nina heard her heart beating.

 

“Nina dear I had know you love Miss Ho and even she your donor you shouldn't cross the line because she's human and she'll grow old die while you retain your youth,” He warns Nina. “Think about the consequences they will use her luring you into a trap I don't want to you like I lost your mother. You two have a strong bond that no one can break even me,”

 

“I'm that transparent father?” She is wondering. “I value my friendship with her but recently I am starting to think her as a possible lover in the near future,” Nina closes her eyes after finish talking her father telepathically.

 

The sun is shining at the downtown area there a black limousine pulling up next to the club. A middle-aged, blonde man got out of limo with couple of bodyguards next to him entering the place.

 

Nagi was busy with paperwork when he being interrupts by his visitor. “Ah Smith-san what pleasant visit we having,” Nagi is greeting him. “I don't need any formalities, Mr.Houmra,” John Smith is smiling like a snake.

 

“Well let's get down to business you have something very important in the briefcase,” John Smith opening the case. “This little vial contains some vampire DNA you extract from,” Nagi is looking at it.

 

“Yes we capture few vampires back in America and we still the initial stage of the project so the hypothesis won't be perfect yet,”

 

“I don't need any scientific crap, I want results,” Say Nagi in rage. “Be patient, Mr.Houmra Searrs need some purebloods to order studying effects of vampirism on humans to perfecting the drug,” Say John Smith.

 

“I don't care I have ambitions to fulfill and complete my revenge. I want the world feeling the terror of our kind unleashed upon the human race and claiming our rightful place in top of food chain,”

 

“I see you still have grudge against Mr. Kanzaki what happened in the past just happened in the past. You're using Searrs Foundation for your personal vendetta; I'm a scientist willing to sell out my own mother in name of science. I stabbed some backs on the way to top. We're both of the same using others to achieve our goals,” Reply John Smith with slime smug.

 

“You have a point Smith; we stepping on people to order reach our ambitions. Here your $10 million will be in your account in few days,”

 

“It a pleasure doing business with you, Mr.Houmra and good luck with your ambitions,” He left.

 

“Onii-sama how is your meeting with Smith-san?” Ask the woman. “Arashi my lovely twin sister I'm making the first move toward my ascendant and downfall of Kanzaki Reito,” Arashi is looking at her older twin brother lovely.

 

“I'll help crush anybody opposing you and claiming your birthright is rightfully yours,” She kisses him.

 

There a young brunette walking toward both Nagi and Arashi, bowing of them. “Nagi-sama you made any preparation for tonight's events for the club?” She asks him.

 

“Not yet my niece, Fuu tells your brother get over here I want talk to him,” Fuu left him and Arashi alone. “My daughter is very special she will taking over after both of us leave, onii-sama,” She is stoking his face gently.

 

Fuu was walking toward back of the club passing through the bodyguards and the workers as they bowing at her and showing respect she deserved. Techno music is playing loudly throughout the club before she enters the room.

 

“Shun, Nagi-sama want to speak you at this insist,” Fuu try to sound politely at her brother. “He has something important discuss you to hear,”

 

Shun is too busy indulging in pleasure with two other female vampires. “Yo, Fuu-chan I'm too busy getting some with two hottest vamp chicks,” He is showing his fangs. “Besides what uncle want me anyway? I have attended that meeting couple of nights ago,” He still remembers the painful memory of being humiliated by hands of Nao and Tomoe. “Telling him I'm busy now so he can ask me later on,”

 

Fuu took offend what her brother did and moment later she pinning him on the couch with her eyes flashing red. “Don't disrespect Nagi-sama I don't care you're my flesh and blood I'll kill instantly for offending him,” She regain her composure.

 

“Jeez Fuu-chan don't get piss-off at me. I'm going to him now, please getting me a break,” He is protesting.

 

They walk back to the office and seeing Nagi and Arashi. “Uncle you want to see me? Mom! What you're doing here with him?” Shun was surprise seeing his mother with Nagi.

 

“Fool! Read the atmosphere before making any accusations,” Nagi was scorning at him. “Excuse me Nagi-sama I'm not going bother you and my brother,” She was excusing herself from the room.

 

“Shun please explain me in details how the last meeting went? And don't playing around with my patients,” Nagi was sounding angry

 

“Why is everyone being piss with me this morning?” Shun is pondering the situation. “Uncle there some stuffy vampires won't adapt in today's society and couple of old fools using the meeting for bringing their stupid-ass feud on forefront over who owning what and some dude look terrific and monstrous threaten the old farts making shitting themselves in fear,” Nagi was absorbing what Shun is saying ignoring his offense toward the Vampire Nation. “I was scare too with the piercing eyes could tearing a new one into both of them,”

 

“Now answer the question who was that person putting fear in couple of elders?” Nagi is starting get wary of Shun.

 

“I think his name is Sergey Wang,” Shun is lazily shrugged his shoulders after answer the question.

 

“Oh is rather interesting that Wang-san is here in Japan visiting Reito-san with the others.” Nagi is stoking his chin. “I may pay visit to him in couple of days,” Arashi admires her brother with lust.

 

Kishimoto Rie wants story of a lifetime but she doing special interest stories for the local newspaper. She has ambitions to work at NHK in Tokyo. Almost at age thirty, her mother wanting her to get marry, Rie didn't like to be tie down with a husband and kids. Now she is typing her laptop for story of oldest living Fuukan, Tanka Sanji surround by his family. With pen in her mouth, Rie was furiously tapping away on the keyboards hoping the today is over so she can surf the net for some information on the missing people in Fuuka.

 

“Excuse you have seen Mina? We haven't seen her over a few days now and she's missing some classes at Fuuka Academy,” Say one of the girls. Rie overheard the conversation and hope a lead. She tried convincing her boss on the leads of disappearance of people happen in this town but she just a little reporter from Yokohama whom going against the grain of Japanese harmony. In simple frustration, Rie starts slamming her hands on the table causing everyone in the room to focus on her. “Pardon my behavior everybody,” They turn around and resume the joyous celebration.

 

As she head toward her car, she trip over and fell. Rie swore and find couple of feet sticking out. She slowly looking up at the owner of the feet, she has found a dead body hidden by the garbage. She literally stumbles upon her big scoop.

 

On warm summer night both Nao and Shiho were in Nao's BMV riding back toward the mansion after went hunting. “Nao you have some poor taste in music why you listening to this?” Shiho was voicing her opinion with some disinterest.

 

“Oh the mighty anal octopus vamp talking down on my choice of music,” Nao was mocking her. “What about you, flute girl? You like bubblegum pop it so sicken and annoying how I didn't killed myself after listen to that crap,” Nao voice her displeasure.

 

Shiho was embarrassed and enrage at the same time. “The singers are good and tunes sound better on radio and the HiMEs are my favorite group,” Shiho is very defensive on her musical taste.

 

While they're arguing whom music taste is worst, an unmarked black van following them.

 

“Tell me why we're following them? Searrs are setting us on a dangerous mission to trail couple of high power vampires I hope worth the shit I have endure today,” Complain the older one.

 

“Anderson stops your bitching and be glad it just class two mission and they only want a surveillance on Nao Yuuki and Shiho Munakata.” He shows their pictures. “Besides we have back-up in case there trouble and hi-tech anti-vampires weapons with us,”

 

While driving, Nao is noticing a van trailing them. “Jeez we got some dumbasses behind us, Shiho maybe some wannabe hunters begging becoming a hero,” Says Nao with her eyes glowing red.

 

Shiho looks at the review mirror and her mask drop. “Even I hate your guts Nao; I agree they need to be disposing of. I have a plan so listening up…”

 

“We have been driving over forty-five minutes now and I'm afraid something not right,” The man doubt his fears. “They are leading us into a secluded area what if they going to kill us?”

 

“Stop being a damn pessimist, Anderson I have a wife and couple of kids to think of. I need the paid to feed my family you know and there another van couple of miles behind us to assist us. We have the firepower, the numbers, and communication between the two teams,” He's showing him a Bluetooth-like device on his ear.

 

When they enter a dark forest, they found the BMV in the park around the area. “This is Alpha we lost the target and found the vehicle abandon here,”

 

“This is Beta investigate the area and repeat don't engage the targets Searrs wanting them alive for extract some samples of Operation Darkness please don't use lethal force even they do attack you. Use non-lethal methods to incapacitate them and place the power dampers,”

 

“Thanks this is Alpha out,” He touch his communicate device and shut it off. “Okay Anderson you the hear headquarter wanted them alive and I want try these babies once,”

 

They took couple of high power guns with rubble bullets with anti-vampire effects and flashlights. They start searching in the forest for both Nao and Shiho as they got deeper, several crows start to appear.

 

The older man begin to sweat, breathing hard, and experience some anxiety as the crows watching the two men. “I have a confession to make, I'm an Ornithophobe and these crows are scaring the shit out of me,”

 

“You're shitting me? They're just birds, not murders they harmless as a feather,” The man tries calming his older partner.

 

“I-I swear they looking us as a meal something to feast on. Their eyes telling a different story and please I need go back for my anxiety pills before I'm freaking out,” Say the older one with his voice tumbling with fear. “Since I was eleven, my old man and I watched the Birds at the movie theater and they were terrifying causing me having nightmares from weeks,” Then more crows gathering on the trees with sinister glances at the hired guns. “Look at their unsettling eyes waiting for us to panic at moment notice,”

 

The younger, calmer one witnessing his partner's unraveling and sensing end of their unfortunate fates. “L-Let me get the hell out of here! Fuck this shit! The job isn't worth it.”

 

“Anderson don't leave you spineless bastard! Get over your fears, you coward!” Suddenly in a flock, crows flew from the tree branches and surrounding them. “Oh god I'm sorry committing horrible deeds in my life,” He's hugging himself and start crying.

 

The other one tried to shoot but he got pecked by one of crows. Then strong gust of wind knocking he down and they encircle the duo. Shiho appears in white with craze look and blood-red eyes.

 

“You miserable humans shouldn't cross us. My pets are very hungry and they haven't eaten anything since a few months ago. You have any last request before you become dinner?” Shiho snarled at the doomed Searrs agents.

 

“Die you crazy bitch! I don't care violated orders from Searrs.” As he tried to shooting at her, one of them bit off his trigger finger, he screams. The crows went for the kill and their screams were drowning out by sounds of biting; Shiho was enjoying the scene and her personal handiwork.

 

“Your screams bring me to ecstasy to my ears, your pitiful lives ends right now,” Shiho laughs manically and a giant crow appearing in front and turn into a humanoid form.

 

“Ah I see you were in your Lady in White persona, mistress. The humans were dealt with,”

 

“Yatagutasu I believe they're fools to dealing with us,” Commit Shiho as she slip back to her demure mask.

 

Half a mile away: “Alpha what the status of your mission? Alpha answer me do you read?” The leader of this group is worry. “Thompson, Williams go check out what happened to Anderson and Jones and getting me a full report,” They salute to the their leader of this little convent mission. They are dress in dark armor and took couple of shotguns with garlic shells.

 

Mikoto lay in her bed thinking about Mai and watching her almost every night. She was sighing and how it frustration not able to seeing and touching her. She closed her eyes and heard other voices in the mansion. Mikoto felt the song of the blood within of the others.

 

She got up from her bed and headed toward the main area of the mansion. Three cats came to her, walking around her ankles. Mikoto was smiling at the cats, rubbing their ears. “Guess you guys are hungry sorry I haven't fed you in two days.” Mikoto went to the kitchen and found some milk in refrigerator. “Here your dinner enjoys it,” She pours some milk for them.

 

“It a pleasant surprise to see you, Mikoto-sama. You're feeding your pets I see I won't bother for now,” Spoke the one of the maids.

 

“Mei-chan you have seen aniue anywhere? I want speak to him,” Mikoto asks her.

 

“Oh he's in the dining room reading the paper, I am telling Reito-sama that you want talk to him,” Mei spoke politely toward Mikoto.

 

“Thank you Mei, I am grateful for your kindness,” Mikoto left Mei from the kitchen and continue her way to talk with her older brother, Reito. Group of maids were bowing Mikoto as she passes them until she reach the dining room.

 

There one maid hand him a glass of blood and excusing herself after seeing Mikoto arriving in the room. “Thanks Lena-san for the drink. Mikoto you wanting talk to me?” Reito is asking his sister.

 

“I need explain this to you, Reito-sama regarding Mai. Lately I having some vibes something bad going happen to her, I want to protect her at any cost even my life. Giving me permission to guarding Mai I will stop anybody from harming her,” Said Mikoto passionately. Reito understands his sister's concern for Mai but he felt the need to explain the implicit situations between the vampires to her.

 

“I believe you that have needed protect Mai-san and I understand your devotion toward her but you can't do anything about it and stop tormenting yourself that you couldn't prevent the tragedy befell on her. I'm sorry I sound cold but think about the survival of our race. Mikoto I tried stop impending war on each other and the treaties already fragile if is. I do care you deeply and I don't want lose you to the hunters I had raise you since you join my clan over several centuries ago,” Reito talk about his concerns.

 

“But you choose protecting our existence over Mai,” Mikoto voice her frustration. “Sooner or later they going know about us anyway, Reito and we can't do a thing about it,” Reito is closing his eyes absorbing the information and meditate his options.

 

“Mikoto please understand the situation why we having this meeting held in Fuuka. Isn't easy being the head of the clan and the pressure making decision is very critical. Listen Mikoto the greater good outweigh the bad, I want the best insure we shouldn't worry driven into extinction,” He trying reasoning her.

 

“You only care about protecting our existence from the world and willfully let Mai to get hurt in the process,” She got up and knock the chair in anger. Reito was calmly watching her leave from the table knowing Mikoto need a cooler head in the near future. He knows she have a temper sometime hoping Mikoto cool down and think straight how important is to negotiate several vampire clans without tearing each other throats out.

 

Mikoto is heading for the gym to excise needing a clear head and devising a plan to be vigilant for Mai's sake.

 

“Mistress you seem being pissed at Reito-sama for your obsessive over that woman. That foolish thinking will get you kill down the road,” Her familiar Miroku try being the voice of reason for once.

 

“Well Miroku you have any good ideas to watching her?” Mikoto vents her anger at him.

 

“Oh I'm a simple cat demon terrorizing the citizens of this great city of the whole wide world,” Miroku was sounding sarcastic. “Mikoto-sama stops being an ass, thinking about the reasons why you do need guarding her that badly? Do you really love her? Or tried correct a past sin of not saving the Tokiha from their gruesome fate and leaving her a terrible and oppressive knowledge that she can't escape the nightmare continues to plague her,” Miroku sound serious from his usual pervy self. Mikoto stares at him can't think anything to counter his argument. Her resolve weaken and she slide on the floor ponder why she won't let go of the past.

 

The head of the operation checking on the clock on the van he is in. Thirty minutes past without a response from both team and he was worry. He uses a walkie-talkie look like a cell phone. “Beta you have found the Alpha team? Please response to the call I want a report on situation. Williams, Thompson do you find Anderson and Jones?” He grumbles and mutters some curses before preparing himself looking for his own men.

 

He took a few weapons, body armor with Searrs logo on it, a combat knife, and ammo full of silver bullets and flashlight with solar panels using against the vampires.

 

He drove the van at the entrance of the forest and spots the first van. He starts to investigate the van finding any clues of the disappearance of his men. The crows above him seeing the leader of task force searching through the van relay telepathic message to Shiho.

 

After few minutes of searching he couldn't find anything and left from the van. He was walking on foot deep into the forest and felt a chill on his spine as the crows gathering on trees and viewing the man as prey.

 

“This is crazy I'm feeling being some cheesy, B-rated horror flick,” The leader thought with the crows circling overhead. The further he went, the more oppressive fear getting to him. He was listening to some crowing from the birds and almost swear it sound of Death itself. His hands start to shake and trying regaining some lost courage, he put the flashlight over his left direction and wants to puke after saw couple of skeletons literally nothing left on them and repulse of the sight.

 

He ran back the opposite direction head toward his van, the crows start give chase as he dodge a few before zip-zapping away from them. Suddenly he felt lost, rapidly losing his valor and fear gripping his being, the crows getting more vicious at each passing moment; wildly

He's using his combat knife defending himself killing about ten crows.

 

They were diving at different angles to injury him and success to knock his combat knife from him. He pull his gun and try to shot but they won't letting him have the chance to pull the trigger, the overwhelming odds were stack against him, he decides his life is more important than a suicide mission guarantee end in failure.

 

More of them gaining in numbers continue to pursue and torment the man, he ran for his life over an hour now before ditching them finally. He about to rest and tending his wounds, he felt some warm on his face, and found blood on his forehead. He was screaming and screaming. He was backing up until he made sicken discover: Couple of arms and legs found on the ground and he was vomiting until he dry heave. “Oh my god, oh my god I found the Beta team and they are all gone, they are all gone,” He now at the breaking point, his mind slowly deteriorating. He starts laughing in madness; a couple of legs pulling him up among the trees. He find himself caught in giant spider web, Nao like a spider crawling toward the doom man in twisted parody of the children's song Itty Bitty Spider with her claws extend in sadistic and cruel matter of intend humiliate the man.

 

“Tell me whom send you before I personally escort them to hell,” Nao's voice have dangerous combination of sultry and venom. “Please tell your name pretty boy,” She is using her claws tearing though his body armor.

 

He is mesmerized by her voice, his mind try to warn him about the danger. “Let's play little game of tell the truth. It you're telling the truth I'll giving you the most mind-blowing pleasure you ever receive,” Her clothes disappears and replace with bat wings on her back as the Spider Tattoo shivers from her right shoulder blade.

 

“First tell me anything from your name to who hire you to following us,” Nao was stoking his head.

 

“My name is Carl Johnson and we're hired by Searrs Foundation to observe and capture your kind to collect some samples for them,” His mind was clouded by lust. Nao absorb the information and continue to interrogate the man.

 

“Tell me why Searrs are hunting us to order taking some our blood?” Her claws dug into his chest and he start to yell in pain. “Be a good boy for me and spill the beans on your operation.”

 

Even Nao having his mind under her control, he still shows some resistance mentally.

 

“Go to hell, you vampire bitch! Searrs will have your DNA for their project and the world going to know your existence,” He regains some control of his mind.

 

She was amuse of his defiance against her and getting him some credit for spit on face of fate. “Human you either very brave or very fucking idiot signing off your life,” Nao smiles coldly, he knows he is doom.

 

“My familiar Julia haven't been fed for a while and oh by the way she likes playing her food before she devour them,”

 

A giant spider appears above the soldier and silently praying for God as Julia crawl toward him, knowing he was a goner resigning to the fates and Julia slowly is eating him alive.

 

Nao materialize her clothes back on and land to ground after jumping from the web above the trees.

 

“I see you dispose the last one, Nao I thought you went try seduce him before killing him yourself,” Say Shiho dispassionately.

 

“Cut the crap Crow Queen I'm only interrogating the bastard for information and we got some corporation wanting out DNA for some sick experiment on us. We want talk to Reito about this and figure out our next move,” Nao is musing about her options, her familiar Julia came down in her human form.

 

“Mistress the human didn't satisfy my huger and he taste terrible like the others. Their struggles is worth it for me,”

 

“Now, now my pet isn't time to complain we need concentrate on task to found out about Searrs and how to defeat them,” While both Nao and Shiho thinking the recent turn of events. As the moon darken reflecting their moods.
