The next morning Shiro woke-up and began to freak out when he saw that he was on a bed in a strange room, until he remembered the day before. Getting out of the bed Shiro saw that there was a different set of clothes next to the bed on a chair and quickly put them on and ran out the door. He was at the door next to the room he was in and was about to open it when he heard a voice. “I see your up and wearing the clothes Saemon got for you!” Turning around Shiro saw Asuna standing with a smile on her face. Shiro went to her and took her arm to look at the wound that was not there. “Are you alright?” “Yes…as you can see the wound that the silver arrow made is gone.” Then he looked up into her eyes, “Wait a second...I thought silver can’t kill a vampire?” Asuna’s eyes widened, “So now you believe I’m a vampire! As for silver didn’t I tell you already it’s one of the harmful elements. Sure it can’t kill us like it does a werewolf, but it can prevent the wound from closing!” “Wait…werewolves exist too? How are they different when it comes to silver?” Asuna then sighed, “When a werewolf is hit by silver a kind of toxin is released into their blood…when a vampire is hit by it the wound caused by it will not close unless it is treated. If not a vampire will go into something like a coma from blood lost and die.” Shiro then just stared at Asuna in horror knowing now how close she had come to being dead. Asuna seeing the look Shiro had on his face and grabbed his hand, “Come on…let’s get something to eat! Shiro nothing will ever happen to me. I promise you,” she then laughed, “You’re not getting rid of me that easy!” Sometime later, after eating they walked into the living room when Shiro barely stopped himself from falling down. Asuna was by his side looking at him with concern, “What is it, what’s wrong?” “I don’t know! Normally I would have taken my medicine that my uncle makes me drink already.” With more growing concern for Shiro, she placed him on the couch and ran to the room where Saemon slept. Going inside the room to the man sleeping on the bed, Asuna began to shake him a wake. “SAEMON, SAEMON WAKE-UP SOMETHINGS IS WRONG WITH SHIRO!” At that he opened his eyes, “What do you mean wrong?” “Shiro said he normally takes a medicine that he drinks…” All of a sudden they both turned to the door when they felt a release of power that was like having a dam just brake and the water rushing out. Both then started running to where Shiro was, only to find he had his head thrown up screaming and what was like a whirl wind surround him. His eyes had suddenly changed and had gone a blood red just as his fangs started growing out long. Saemon then ran and tackled Shiro to the ground holding him. Asuna had come to help, but was thrown across the room and hit her head on the wall and slump to the floor. Turning his head but still holding Shiro down, “ASUNA… ASUNA ANSWER ME!” That’s when Shiro struck, sinking his fangs into Saemon and as the taste of blood flowed into his mouth he began to drink. Saemon then placed his hand on Shiro’s head and began stroking his hair as the prince drank and started to calm down. Asuna had just lifted her head when Shiro had lifted his and looked at Saemon. Walking over to the both of them Asuna saw that Shiro’s eyes were back to their normal color and were no longer blood red. Shiro then closed his eyes and fell asleep while still in Saemon’s arms. Getting up then carrying Shiro to the bed in the room he was given, then placing him in bed and covering him up. “Is he alright? I mean what just happened?” “You said he took a medicine that he drank?” Asuna blinked at that, “Yes…why?” How does that have anything to do with what happened?” “I say it may have been his medicine that kept his vampire instincts in check! By the looks of things they were already waking up. Probably when he first saw us…they were slowly coming along and eventually they would have fully a wakened, but when he failed to take that medicine they came fully awake now! We may have gotten our prince back, but we may also have a new rogue on our hands! All now we can do is wait!” “Very well…you go back to sleep. I’ll take the first watch.” Nodding Saemon left and went to the room that for now called his and went to sleep. Far away in a cave near the city miles away from the small town a vampire lifted his head off the person he had been drinking from. Smiling he licked the blood from his mouth, “So…they’ve finally found the prince. I guess it would be rude not to pay my respects!” Then he returned to drinking off the neck of the woman he had caught earlier, only later to give his blood to the woman making her a vampire and his slave.
