CHAPTER 31

~REN'S POV~

One way to keep myself entertained now was to have a stroll the castle grounds and attend to the castle.

Taking turns everyday of the week. Today's Friday so its my day to attend, it's something to do and it reminds of how much Lily loved the flowers.

Now that our basement is chained up and we don't use it anymore, we find ourselves doing a lot more activities. But my thoughts all ways ends up with her, Lily.

She may have rejected me, all of us but I still can't help but love her. I'll never be able to let her go so all i can feel is numbness to almost everything that hasn't got anything to do with her.

I decided to attend to the front garden flowers since I'm also waiting for Dahyun to come back after he checks on Lily.

He told me she's been ill lately and it worries me but i've not told the guys that yet. Dahyun wasn't going to tell me but i used the guilt out of him when he knocked me out with that rock last week.

It worked and he told me. He didn't tell me too much just that she's not well, so I don't actually know what's wrong with her. That's why i attend to the flowers at the front.

They are as red pretty roses that bloomed beautifully on either side of the path directed to the front door, I don't know why i use to like about doing this before now when I do this each flower reminds me of Lily's beauty.

In my own mind humming a song i once heard Lily sing, enjoying my time but then an ache in my chest appeared.

I mean I've been feeling that all week but this, this is different. Something's wrong. I feel it. I know it. Just what could it be?

The front doors to the castle stormed open and all six of my brothers came rushing out, running towards me, totally confused as I am.

"do you guys feel that too?"

They nod with their eyes searching the area around us.

"Yeah, but what is it?" Ruel

I shrugged and wiped my hands down my sides.

"NNOOO!!"

Wait.

Was that?

"Hey was that Dahyun?" Jin

I slowly nod i think it is, but maybe I could be wrong. All of us looking down the road that leads in between the trees and out of our property was the direction it came from.

"That didn't sound too good." Han

He mumbled but i heard it.

"AAHHHHH!!"

That's Lily!!

Without even a second thought I ran as fast as I could with my brothers all doing the same. She's in trouble and i wasn't going to waste a second in going to her, even with the rejection.

It actually didn't take long to get to Lily's house. The house was still and the front door was left open and the living room window was broken.

The place smelled of blood. Which was obvious since my very mouth hang open to see two bodies laying on the floor looking in blood with their heads not too far away.

I'd be a fool if i didn't know who they were.

Luke, Jin and Newt all ran upstairs but i couldn't help but watch Ruel as he crouched down to Dahyun as head.

He just stared at it. Out of all of us he was the closet to Dahyun and i don't think it help that just yesterday Ruel had a big argument with him and they hadn't spoken all day today. This must be eating him up more than the rest of us.

"Dahyun." Ruel

I heard him whispered , but i couldn't bare to watch anymore. Han walked over Volyl's body that was right next to a masked vampire. You could tell by the blood on her hands that she clearly killed him before she died.

Han unmasked the dead guy and hummed.

"What?"

He shook his head to stand back up again.

"Its just who i thought." Han

"It's one of the Marcus men, isn't it?"

I knew exactly what he was going to say. I mean who else could this be the doing of?

Damon was unusually quiet and just walked through the house like a zombie, eyes fully on the kitchen door as he headed in that direction. I don't blame him really, its taking me all my strength to keep from falling apart about what happen and where Lily is.

There was a smash and a thud from upstairs but a second later Jin and Luke came running down the staires only to throw Newt on the floor.

"Calm the fuck down!!" Luke

Newt jumped back up and in defence mode, hissing at Luke with his red glowing eyes.

"Fuck no!! She's not upstairs, so where the fuck is she?!" Newt

"Nobody knows Newt." Han

Ruel finally stood up from Dahyun's body by the front door and came to join us.

"It was Marcus. He has to have her." Ruel

I nodded in agreement.

"Oh I swear to Gog I'm gonna kill him!!" Newt

He tried to leave and storm past Ruel but he grabbed him by the arm and shook his head.

"No. I think he had help." Ruel

I frowned. Who would help Marcus except his men.

"Yes obviously it would be his slaves." Newt

He hissed again to try and leave a second but this time Jin stepped down the steps to grab a hold of Newt by the free arm.

"No, I think Ruel's right. Someone new was involved. You could smell it at the front door." Jin

I didn't notice anything, just the blood.

"Guys!!! Out here!!" Damon

He sounded panicked. Maybe its Lily?!

We all ran outside to find Damon sitting in the grass with his back leaned against the wooden fence with a girls head laying on the top of his lap.

"Is that Joy?!" Jin

He nodded sadly. She's still alive, i can hear her faint heart beat but clearly stabbed since she smelled so strongly of her own blood. She was unconscious.
