(Author’s POV)
"She isn’t here. She had already left this place," Alaric answered. His voice came out a lot calmer than expected. Although his emotions were in turmoil.
"Huhhh~ .... she~ ... left~ ....?" Fabian was confused. "How do you know?" he questioned. "How do you know she had left?"
Alaric closed his eyes and replied, "Someone had already taken her away. She is in safe hands." He then opened his eyes and gazed at the red stringed half-moon bracelet. The one Nora had given to all her brothers. He had found it lying just a few centimeters away from Leroy’s body. Unlike every other thing inside and outside the cottage, the bracelet remained in pristine condition.
Of course, he had lost his protective charm somewhere, so it was not his. That’s for sure. And Brave had lost his as well at the banquet. So, the only person that came to his mind was Dion, as the youngest, Elio, was still in Kimberg.
He was trying to mind-link Dion, but it was blocked for some reason.
"Who? Who had taken her away?" Fabian asked, not getting Alaric’s words. "What are you trying to say, Alaric?"
Alaric sighed and started walking in the direction they had come from.
"ALARIC EVERESTS~ ...." Fabian shouted, but Alaric kept on walking. He followed him and finally noticed Alaric’s torn-up, bloodied back. There were several patches of burns on his shoulders, back, as well as his arms. After all, Alaric was in there for quite some time. How could he come out unscathed? But even after that, he was walking as if he wasn’t feeling any pain.
Fabian gulped hard and softened his tone. He then asked again, "Alaric, tell me who had taken her away?"
"Dion," Alaric finally gave him a one-word answer. Then, without looking at Fabian, he added, "Those three who were inside. They were the ones who kidnapped her." He had recognized Leroy’s voice. "This matter, it was definitely done intentionally. Investigate them."
Fabian glanced back and nodded, "Of course, I will. But where has he taken her? How is she? How do you know?" He kept throwing questions at Alaric, but the guy, he was in no mood to talk.

"What are you doing, Harry? I have been waiting for the news," Brian yelled on the phone. This temperament was skyrocketing.
His subordinate licked his lips, his head lowered, "Elder Tape~ .... Sir, as per your command, I was following the human girl and was planning to abduct her from in front of her house, but before our people could make any move, another group had stepped in and kidnapped her on the way. I followed them, and they had taken her into the abandoned forest." Harry told him everything he knew. His people had been tailing Myra’s since the time she walked out of her house.
"What?" Brian was left perplexed.
"Yes. It seems like the ones who kidnapped weren’t ordinary humans, but vampires from the Blood Fangs Clan," he added.
"Blood Fangs’? Are you sure? Why would they abduct a seemingly ordinary human? Did you find anything else? Where is that girl now?"
Harry hesitated, "Sir, she~ ... I~ .... I don’t know about her current whereabouts."
