"No, this can't be!" you yelled, looking around to see nothing but the light, your eyes focusing on your hands, noticing there were no cuts nor wounds decorated on your now soft and shining skin. You also noticed you were wearing a white patient gown and not your clothes before, you assumed you died- "No I can't die!" you whined and roam around, only to see white light around you and shining your eyes brightly.

"I can't die, I was in a middle of a fight, I can't leave Doyoung and the rest dying!"

"I can't leave my twins too, they're too young, please." you loud shouts turns into soft pleads when you remember your kids. Your knees weakened at the thought, quivering enough for you to kneel, gripping onto your chest and recalled Dopyo's teary eyes on seeing you injured. They were too young, you can't leave your adorable and precious kids just yet.

A second passed, you use both of your ears to cover it from the loud eerie ringing you're hearing. You scream, begging for the sound to stop but it got louder as it passes, tears escaping your eyes as the disturbing eerie is overwhelming you, sobs escape your lips and that's all you can do.

After a minute if extreme ringing, you noticed the disturbing sound coming to an end. Bit by bit, you remove your hands on your ear, your teary lidder eyes get clearer, roaming around to check if anything was causing the loud eerie. You stand from kneeling position and look back, your lips tremble on seeing a black shadow in front of you; enormous, tall and lifeless. Before you could make your way to escape or ask the intention of the black shadow, another ringing sound is heard and you flinch when the shadow jump into you.

"Life is for the living, death is for the dead. Let life be music and death a note unsaid."

"y/n!"

You shot your eyes wide open, body trembling in fear, catching another white light above you. You cried, rambling on incoherent words as you cover your eyes once more, a loud buzz banging and hurting your eyes. Your heart palpitated against your chest, sweat forming on your forehead and your palms, your sweaty palms started grabbing something to clutch on.

"y/n, y/n, calm down, I'm here, Doyoung's here baby." you flinched when an arm pulled you to sit up, your blubbering state stiffen when the vampire engulf you into a tight hug. You close your eyes and let your tears flow freely, releasing all the tension you're experiencing as you lose yourself on the comfort of your husband; the warm and assuring cuddle sending serotonin boost in your system. You sniffed and wipe your tears, letting out the fear you have in one long heavy breath. "Shh, y/n it's alright. You're safe now. You're safe here with me love." he guaranteed you in a soft alluring voice, drawing circles at your back to soothen the stress you're having.

You and Doyoung stayed like that for a while; cuddling and the vampire whispering sweet nothings, assuring you that you're safe from harm. Once yo calm down and your breathing become stable, Doyoung carefully explaining that you're confined at a hospital for three days; your special dhampir being lucky to survived the harsh stab on your chest to be alive at this point.

If you were still a human being; there's no chance for you to endure the horrible stab.

The vampire excused himself to call a doctor to check up on you; leaning forward to press a peck on your cheek before he leaves the room. You watch him go outside and leave you, shifting your attention to the room you're currently at. An empty desk at your right and a chair beside your bed is most likely where Doyoung was sitting. You then focus your attention to the left, clutching on your chest to see a quiet half sitting on the couch and honestly, it almost gave you a heart attack.

You were about to say something or greet Ten but the disturbing silence the male is giving makes you hesitate and shut your mouth instead, completely weirded out to see him silent as over when literally, he's ome of the wild and loud ones in the house.

Something about a quiet half made you stare at him more, lips puckered as you start to be concern on his being; his shiveled hair, puffy and tired eyes boring into yours with a blank glance, lips parted slightly and are chappy. You frowned on seeing the male, if everything around you has color, only Ten isn't; his aura is just like the sky on the other realm, monochromed and lifeless, a mixture of black and white. The lifeless form of the half is an epitome of death and sorrow; body and mind being exhausted for staying up for three days but he couldn't sleep. He may be alive right now but his hopes, life and everything positive trait from him is gone, he doesn't kmow if he'll ever life the same again.

He already know how you felt when you lose Doyoung, how devastating it is to lose someone you love and adore with.

You shot your open towards the door and saw Kun, the vampire uttering a weak smile and glad that you're finally awake. The male walk near the half, inviting himself to seat beside him and sigh. Ten faced him with a dull look, eyes watery and showing how much agony he's having right now but no tears popping out, already lose the chance to cry after weeping for the past days. You keenly observed the older vampire frown at the younger half, Kun's chest aching severely on seeing Ten this lifeless and depressed.

Before you could even have the courage to ask anything, the door banged open to reveal Doyoung and Doctor Joy, your attention span mainly focus on the Park as she check your vitals, interviewing you and asking if you're still experiencing pain or aches. You answer all the questions thrown at you, your eyes only looking at the side, glancing at how awful Ten looks like. It didn't take that much time for Joy to dismiss herself after getting the info she needed, bowing to the three olders and announcing that you can be discharged tomorrow.

Silence occupied the room whilst the doctor left, the two vampires exchanging looks as they look at the half, frowning on the male's state. You took a chance to let your eyes to roam again and remember the twins, immediately asking where they are and Doyoung answering that they're at Jaehyun's perfectly safe and resting with your brother.

You nod in a slow pace, lips parted whilst you recall any memories before you passed out, you barely remember anything and yet, you don't want to force yourself. You can't afford a headache on trying too much. "So, what happened, did we won or something?" you started off speaking bit by bit and have difficulty to say things straight.

"We did, but.." Doyoung replied with hesitation on the end, avoiding your gaze for a split second as his adam's apple move up and down. You then asked again, curiousity sparking on his long pause and hesitation. He faced you again, eyes glossy and lips trembling. "D-do you really want to know y/n?" he asked this time, not sure on how to properly put into words he's about to tell you.

"Why, what happened?"

"y/n!"

Taeyong's eyes blink on hearing many neos shouting your name, the male hitting the enemy he's fighting with a stake that made his enemy instantly disappear and die. He tilt his head to check the commotion is about, eyes widen when he catch a glimpse of you on the ground, bleeding and struggling on your breath. He then saw Doyoung rushing towards you, red anger eyes tearing up as he hold you after beating the man who hurt you. Taeyong rushed over and calm the younger vampire down, hissing when Doyoung accidentally scratch his arm that cause some cuts to be visible.

Doyoung gritted his teeth, closing his eyes harshly as his insides aches on holding you bleeding, weeping on the mere thought of losing you. He held you close, looking at your face and tears were already running down to your forehead. His body stiffen hearing a sob from his kids, his eyes immediately open to look onto the direction of the cries and is confused on why the hell are the twins there, getting a slight answer when Jaemin is holding the two little ones.

He stand up, as much as he want to hold you all day, he didn't want the kids to get injury and lose them too. Doyoung's eyes catch over Johnny and Mark's figure rushing towards him, an idea then pops up on his mind. "Johnny, Mark, let Jaemin and the twins get out of here. Now, please." he commanded in a soft voice, carresing your hair as he wipe his tear with his free hand.

Johnny and Mark followed the other vampire's instruction, the younger vampire grabbing Daisy away from Jaemin for him to carry her. The older vampire leading the way and couldn't help but to look at this two little beans, the twins being so confused and crying, tiny minds replaying and saw you getting stab right in front of their eyes. Johnny suddenly making a little song that everything the twins see is only a dream.

An actual nightmare rather than a dream and the twins will wake up soon and will see you soon, Johnny assures on his sudden song, rambling into all the nursery rhymes he know and sticking pieces of it to make a new one, trying to entertain the kids and distract them on crying over you.

While the two vampires are getting the Na and the twins out of frame and the field, Taeil was rushing to you and crying, chest aching severely on seeing his daughter lifeless on his in law's lap. The superior kneel down and gritted his teeth to avoid loud sobs to escape. Doyoung raise his head and saw him crying, thoughts full of regrets, sorrow and anger; regretting that he abandoned you and didn't protect you. As much that Doyoung want to tell the ruler that it isn't his fault and he have no control on the happenings, he needs to get you unconscious state out of here.

Doyoung cocks his head and frown on seeing Yangyang's corpse decorated with blood and stabs, he also needs to get the boy's body away from this hell. "Taei- d-dad help me get y/n and yangyang get out of here." he softly requested, pleading eyes matching weeping ones and started carrying you, following by Taeil who have Yangyang to
bring towards safety.

Ten in the other hand, was busy focusing on the enemy he's fighting as he finally take a look and saw the corpse of his younger brother. Shock occupied his veins; lips parted and his world stop on seeing the lifeless body of Yangyang being carried by Taeil, blood decorating the bedraggled clothes that was once expensive, the boy's chest being exposed and have a enormous cut starting from his collar bone until his lower abdomen.

The boy is far from getting revived at that point, his human body didn't handle the aggressive attack he got.

Ten stiffen at his place, body following the direction of his head when his enemy jabbed his right face; the half didn't feel the great sting from the poweful punch, body becoming numb all of a sudden. The half layed on the ground, memories flashing back on his beloved brother; remembering the boy's gummy smile, Yangyang's crazy antics, and of course,the iconic world sandwich the male once dream of doing. Memories playing along the half's mind, chest aching in severe levels of pain and sorrow.

He knew that Ten would live longer than Yangyang since he's a dhampir but he never expected the boy to die at such a young age.

From the shock he have now replaced by anger; body tensing and heat flushing all through his veins and blood. His vision obscured and the only thing that in his sight is vengeance. He stand up and wipe the dirt on his damaged shirt, feet stomping rapidly towards an enemy and punching the jaw, Ten going all berserk and carry the enemy with his two hands, throwing him on mid air and hit another enemy. He gritted his teeth and walk to the nearest neo in sight and that was Lee Taeyong.

"Hyung can you still dance?"

Taeyong tilt his head and throwed a rock to the enemy, watching the old man lose his balance on the side before he gave the younger half a look. "Are you seriously asking that in a middle of a war?" the vampire deadpanned, but seeing the half being serious and irritated made him scoff at the male. "Of course I still dance─"

The vampire didn't get the chance to finish his word and cuss the male when Ten pulled Taeyong by his waist, facing the younger, chest to chest causing him to flush on the smaller male. The older glanced over the dark glistering of the younger, a few butterflies swimming onto his stomach, which was weird to feel at situation they have.

At one moment the vampire's flustering mess and now, he's spinning, Ten holding on the male's soft hand and spin him, hitting an enemy nearby and made the poor enemy fly with shame, head got smahed on having contact on a hard rock. Ten holding Taeyong's waist to calm the vampire off, the vampire's insides going wild on the spin and how attractive the younger is when he's close to him.

Ten took the moment to breathe, chest moving up and down and look at the older, who's staring over at him before he notice it. He didn't pay attention to it keenly, shrugging whatever he's thinking and let the silence filled the comforting void. The younger saw the vampire smiled wickedly, raising a brow at Taeyong but gasp when the older grip onto Ten's waist. The soft and embarrased eyes of Taeyong is now replaced with fiery and bold eyes.

"C'mmon baby, let's dance." Taeyong whisper onto the half's ear as his eyes pierce on enemies crowding up.

The vampire moved his hand to the male's waist, other hand holding onto Ten's soft hands and intertwine it, the two friends exchanging wicked smiled as they glance over their rivals, Taeyong happily sway the half onto the left, watching the male spin beautifully, the vampire using his peripheral view to steal a stake from a enemy vampire, stabbing it onto the rival instead and passing it to Ten with one catch. The half catching it swiftly and pulled Taeyong closer and smiled, shooting the stake on another enemy and the aim is pretty accurate, Taeyong hugging the male's waist as he lifts Ten up, the vampire grinning at the sight behold him, if Ten wasn't a half he's pretty sure he's the most finest masterpiece to be brought on this realm.

The two males keep dancing on the battlefield, acting as if the two are the only ones existing right now; swaying their bodies on the rhythm they made for each other, dancing gracefully as they assasinate every enemy that is left there.

And Jaehyun saw the brilliant idea with his bare eyes, the special half standing in silence and watching the two own the imaginary stage they're making; his eyes specifically on the vampire lifting Ten up, the Jung's cheeks dusting pink on seeing the beautiful face that he once loved, smiling brightly on the memories. His smile soon faded when a Qian scoff.

"You're seriously in the mood to glance at hyung like that?"

The Jung remained quiet and ignored Kun, slowly the two got joined by Ten and Taeyong. The younger half then questioned why the Qian had a sour expression being displayed, Jaehyun happily answering that the vampire himself is bitter that no one can dance him like how the two did.

And suddenly Ten elbowed the bitter vampire and taunted. "That's what you get for being single since birth dumbass, couldn't even get a date tsk tsk."

The Qian rolled his eyes in annoyance and walk out, finding himself an enemy to battle and be useful, rather than getting teased by them. If they only know who he actually like then everyone even the half would understand the male.

Following Kun is no other than the special half, being weird as always especially that Taeyong is beside him, sure the vampire lives in his place after all but, seeing him dance like he always do makes Jaehyun's ears flushing, making him excuse himself and be useful on the battle field too. "Uhm gotta go, bye." he utters quitely and proceed to sprint his way towards Doyoung, who's now mad bunny on the loose after you passed out.

Both lees shrugged the weirdness of the younger and decided to rest for a while, stretching and relaxing the tensed muscles they're currently feeling. Ten kneel down and fix the ties of his shoes, adjusting the grip of his shoelace and redoing it again. While the male is doing his sholace, he felt his senses tingling, sensing danger in his surroundings. The younger look onto the older with a concern look but the vampire is too relaxed to sense that a foreign being is there with them.

With doubt on his veins, Ten chose to believe that he's safe with Taeyong, rushing to finish tying the shoelace and sweat forming his forehead, he look onto the field ahead of him, seeing no neos nearby and it made him gulp loudly, his heart pounding off his chest. When he finally look at the male once again, his eyes watered at the sight in front of him.

The half's lips quivered when Taeyong was stab by a large stake, the vampire's eyes widen and look down, seeing the stake inside of him. He slowly look at Ten, smiling so timidly and in an instant, the vampire died and his body turn into dust, disappearing on the half and didn't bid
