Aaron fell into a deep coma ever since yesterday, when he had successfully turned Gui Gui. Gui Gui had not woke up from her death sleep but everyone was too concerned for Aaron to worry about Gui Gui.

Xiu looked at Aaron and reproached himself: We should have paid more attention to his wound and what Ella injected into him.

Wu Xiong: Wasn’t your fault. We all had a part to play.

Hebe: What should we do now?

Rainie: Selina, have you encountered this before?

Selina: *Shakes her head* No. Who poisoned him?

Rainie: Ella did. She always does that to her vampire assassins.

George: Is there a remedy for it? Any antidote?

Rainie: I’m not sure…I had never seen her used it before. Maybe I can….

George: No, don’t do it.

Rainie: *taken aback* How did you know what I was intending to…

George: *interrupts* You might not get the antidote even if you go to Ella’s. You could be killed easily.

Xiu: Not if we accompany her.

Hebe: You mean, some of us escort Rainie and protect her while she sneaks in to steal an antidote?

Rainie: It would be risking your life too!

Xiu: Don’t worry about it. We can protect you and ourselves well enough.

George: I’m going.

Xiu: Me too.

Wu Xiong: I’m also going!

Selina: Wu Xiong, you stay here. I shall go with them. Ella’s binding spell works only on Rainie and if I were to go, we could predict what happens.

Xiu: Selina’s right. Wu Xiong, you stay here with Hebe and Gui Gui. I will ask Han over to help too.

A strong sense of uneasiness stirred involuntarily in Wu Xiong. She couldn’t help but feel jealousy rising in her.

Wu Xiong: *dejected* All right then…

---2 hours later----

Xiu stood at the front of the house, waiting for Han.

Wu Xiong approached him slowly, withholding many thoughts in her mind. Xiu, sensing the presence of Wu Xiong, turned to face her with a smile.

Xiu: You have gotten ready?

Wu Xiong: Yea…

Xiu: You look distracted. Don’t worry, we will be back safe.

Wu Xiong: I’m worried about…

Xiu: I know what other concerns you have as well. Han is just my best friend. She had extended her help during the toughest times and I believe she had totally given up on wanting to be with me.

Wu Xiong: *taken aback* You…you knew what I was worried about?

Xiu: You know, it’s easier to guess your emotions than to fight evil vampires. *Smirks*

Wu Xiong: *beats him on his shoulder* Irritating Xiu!

Xiu: *hugs her suddenly* Wu Xiong, you must remember forever, that I, like how Aaron loves Gui Gui, will love you for eternity and will never give up the chance to love you more.

Wu Xiong: *tears welling up her eyes* I know…stop saying all these. You are making me tear.

Xiu: Well, my aim is to make you cry. *laughs*

Wu Xiong: *smiles* You are so evil. *fading smile* Xiu, you must get back safe…

Xiu: I will…

Han: Hi lovebirds!

Han walked towards the two of them, wearing a smile.

Han: What’s up?

Xiu: I need your help.

Han: I know.

Xiu: I’m sorry, Han. I didn’t mean to

Han: *interrupts* What are friends for? Hurry and do whatever you want. I will take care of them…

Xiu: Thanks!

With that, Xiu left Wu Xiong with Han. Han looked at Xiu as he left and smiled quietly to herself…

----Later---

The night was cold and the breeze blew ruthlessly against the icy cold face of Xiu, George, Rainie and Selina as they raced against time, rushing towards their destination.

Within an hour’s time, they had reached their destination- Ella’s mansion.

Selina: The coast is clear. Ella is having her feast in the deep woods…

Xiu: Let’s get in now.

Within another minute, the four of them got into the grand hall of the mansion.

George: Rainie, where would Ella put the antidote if she has one?

Rainie: In her chambers. She wouldn’t let any others in.

Xiu: Lead the way.

Rainie nodded and led the way to Ella’s chambers. Along the way, there were a couple of vampire guards patrolling the area but Xiu and George got rid of them within seconds without alerting others.

---In the chamber---

They had finally gain entry into Ella’s chamber. It was cold and dark as expected and Rainie strained her eyes as she proceeded with caution into the chamber.

Just then, the chamber’s lights were on and the chamber became brightly lit.

Down the hallway stood Ella and her presence surprised all of them.

Xiu: Ella?

Ella: If you wanted to come, just give me a call. There’s no need to BARGE in.
Xiu: How did you?

Ella: Don’t you know? You have a traitor amongst all of you.

George: Traitor?
