George sat on the couch as various thoughts crosses his mind incoherently. He overheard the conversation that Rainie had with Wu Xiong and he wondered if Rainie was speaking the truth. Somehow, he couldn’t bring himself to trust her completely but if he were to doubt her and she happened to be truthful to her, he would be bearing all the guilt alone.

George: *sighs* What should I do?

Just then, Rainie knocked on his door even though it’s not closed.

Rainie: Can I come in?

George: *taken aback* Yea…

Rainie: I need to tell you something

George: *interrupts* If it’s about us, I think it can wait. I am not ready to trust you completely yet but I guess you aren’t totally lying…

Rainie: Well, actually, I was intending to tell you something else.

Silence hung in the air and it was so awkward that George and Rainie finds it hard to bear.

George was the first to break this unwanted and awkward silence.

George: What did you wanted to tell me?

Rainie: It’s about Xiu.

George: You know where he is?

Rainie: *nodded* Yea. Do you intend to find him?

George: Of course. We need to find him or it would be tougher to fight Ella tomorrow.

Rainie: All right. I guess that’s all.

With that, Rainie walked towards the door and paused for a while, saying: I’m glad you are starting to trust me a little more.

George looked at her as she walked out of the room. He tried his very best to forgo the thoughts of Rainie and start to concentrate on the thought of saving Xiu from Wu Zun and Han. To encourage the latter thought, George decided to head out to find Aaron.

----At the same time---

In another town

Han: What are you thinking about?

Xiu: Nothing

Han: Her?

Xiu: *sighs* It’s none of your business

Han: I never thought you would say something like this to me.

Xiu: Han….I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.

Han: It’s all right, Xiu. Anyway, where do you intend to go?

Xiu: *puzzled* What do you mean?

Han: I don’t intend to stay in this town. Let’s go somewhere else, just the two of us. Like before.

Xiu: Han….

Han: *forced smile* I knew it. I knew you would give me that. Well, I don’t mind, of course. *Smiles* I knew it wasn’t like before.

Xiu: I’m sorry.

Han turned her back on Xiu, withholding tears in her eyes: Just go.

With that, Xiu headed towards the door and with just one last look at Han, Xiu walked out of the room quietly.

----Moments later---

Wu Zun: Why did you do that?

Han: That’s something you don’t know about- Love.

Wu Zun gave a sarcastic laugh: I had never known about this in my entire vampire life.

Han: That’s because you never used your heart to feel for things.

With that, Han walked away, leaving Wu Zun with the statement that he could never seem to understand.

---The cottage house---

An Hour later

Aaron: You want to head out tonight?

George had told Aaron about Xiu’s whereabouts and his plan on saving Xiu tonight.

George: It would definitely be better if we had Xiu’s help tomorrow.

Aaron: You are right. I had promised to save Xiu and I think its best we act fast.

George: But the both of us can’t just go together. What if Ella had decided to act early?

Just then, someone entered into the room, calling out to the two of them: Hey, looking for me?

Aaron and George looked closely at the figure standing at the door, taken aback by the sight.

Aaron: Xiu?!

Xiu: Yea, the authentic one *smirks*

George: How…how did you?

Aaron: Does Wu Xiong know about it?

Xiu: Well, I was actually able to see you guys slightly earlier but Wu Xiong hugged me for a whole 10minutes so I was slightly late…. *laughs*

Aaron: But…how did you get out? *amazed*

Xiu: Han let me out. She was, afterall, *solemn* a good vampire.

Just then, Wu Xiong came rushing into the room: *panting* She’s awake!!

No needing another hint, Xiu, Aaron and George knew who Wu Xiong were talking about and they rushed out of the room almost immediately.

----Another Room---

Aaron: *Nervous* Gui Gui! Gui Gui!

Gui Gui was right there, lying in her bed, with Hebe and Rainie standing beside her.
Aaron rushed to her side and held onto Gui Gui’s hands: Gui Gui!

Gui Gui gave a little smile at Aaron but she did not say anything.

Aaron: *tears welled up his eyes* Gui Gui…

Just when Gui Gui was about to speak, she suddenly lost control of herself and her body shook strong as she screamed in pain.

Aaron: Gui Gui! Gui Gui!! *panics* What’s happening to her?!

Rainie: Hold her tightly!!! She’s experiencing the same thing as you had experienced before!

Aaron and George grabbed hold of Gui Gui with all their might and eventually, for what seemed like eternity, Gui Gui had ran out of energy and had fainted abruptly.

----An hour later---

Gui Gui’s Room

Rainie: Gui Gui’s condition had gotten serious and it had occurred early than I had expected. I’m sorry.

Wu Xiong: It’s not your fault. But…Gui Gui seemed to be stronger than Aaron was before….

Aaron: What will happen tomorrow?

Rainie: If I’m not wrong….she would get stronger…….It would be more strenuous to protect Gui Gui while resisting her retaliation.

Aaron: We need more help.

Xiu: I know where to get them…

---The next night----

The moon hung in the sky in a lonely fashion as no one in the house was in the mood to admire it. Aaron stood right beside Gui Gui and looked at her face which showed a peaceful expression, as if she was having her nap. How he wished that she was really having a peaceful siesta.

Aaron: *touches her face* Gui Gui… I would do anything to get you back….

Just then, Hebe rushed into the room with a solemn expression.

Hebe: They have come…

Aaron held on tightly to his sword as he looked at Hebe.

Aaron: Then we shall fight with all our might…
