Chapter 12: Orphans
"Come in," Silas answered to the knock on the door. A sweaty Magnus entered the room and was about to throw himself at the couch when his eyes met Jet's.
"I thought your class is done?" Magnus asked, pointing the environmentalists while catching his breath.
"We just started, Magnus," Saint answered. He lifted the books they're studying to show that they're busy at the moment.
"Go back to the palace to get some rest." Silas said.
"It's tiring. I'll just sleep here. I won't interrupt you, continue what you're doing," Magnus insisted. He's about to lay down the couch when Raze stopped him.
"But you're snore so loud," the younger annoyingly said.
"I don't!"
"You do! Our room is just next to yours! We can't sleep properly!" Jet added. Watching the three have a yelling contest might be Saint and Silas' new favorite show. What makes it more exciting is they get to see it everyday!
"Stop it! Ma

Every person has a side that is a secret to most people. Many can keep that side by themselves until they reach the grave. Some hide it for they think it might affect their projected image or perception as a person. Some hide it for safety. But not everyone can possess the art of hiding."Rise the stick gently, make an eight figure, and strike it forward." For the first time, Jet and Raze heard a calm Magnus. They are used to him shouting, whining, and nagging. But this moment right in front of their face is a major turntable.Watching Magnus teach children in an open area while hiding behind the tall bushes is a thing Jet won't expect to do. A loud cry caught their attention and moved forward to see who it was. It's a little girl in braids, sitting on the ground while kicking the air and

The wooden door made a noise as Jet and Raze entered. The house is quiet, there are no screams or giggles around. The ample area feels very empty without the Reds, they thought. "You're early." Raze almost ran when he heard a deep voice coming from the kitchen. The two entered, only to see Saint, who's busy placing the chocolate chip cookie dough onto the parchment paper on the tray. After placing the tray inside the oven, he faced Raze and Jet. He greeted them with his usual warm smile and removed the mittens to get water from the fridge. "What do you mean? Do you expect us to go home late?" Raze asked Saint. The latter shook his head before drinking his cold water. "I thought the five of you will come home together," he replied. He gave Jet and Raze glasses, motioning them to also drink some water. "Oh. They are busy at the moment. Hail dropped us here with your family car," Raze said. He immediately pat Saint's back who choked on his drink. "From the theater," Jet added. Th
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 15: Decision
Ever since Jet and Raze entered the surprising world of the vampires, silence became as frequent as the blue moon. It's like there is no night and day for their never-ending verbal wars. A typical scene Silas is getting used to. "Do you want us dead?!" Jet pushed a glass of animal blood. Magnus, Jet, and Saint are on the counter while Claude and Hail, together with Raze, are playing video games. As days go by, Raze is slowly getting closer to the oldest Reds. "You'll get used to it!" Saint tried to convince the human with his cheerful voice. He even chugged a glass of blood in front of him. "I don't want to!" Jet resisted, flashing his disgusted reaction from what Saint just did. He couldn't even eat cooked pork blood in Dinuguan, how the hell can he drink fresh blood? There's no way he will do that. "Then starve and die!" Magnus shouted angrily. "Can the two of you please shut the hell up?!" Hail exclaimed from the living room. He is the first one to finish the race that's
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 16: Calling
"Jet." A trembling voice echoed through the dark chamber. Even if Jet widens his eyes, he can see nothing but darkness as if he was blind. "Mom?" No one answered his call. Left with no other choice, he started walking, feeling his surroundings with the use of his hands and feet. "Come home. Jet, come back to us," Jet's mother cried. Tears rushed down Jet's face, frustrated for he hadn't reached her Mom. "Mom, why are you here? How did you come here?" he asked. Seconds later, Jet finally saw a glimpse of light coming from the outside. A silhouette of a lady sitting on the floor is the first thing he noticed. It breaks his heart hearing his mom’s sob. He called his mom once more and ran immediately when she tilted her head towards her direction. "I’ll answer everything when we get home, Jet. I'm begging you, please come home. Your dad needs you-" Before Jet could even touch her mother, everything spun into a hypnotizing circle. He keeps on screaming while crying his heart out.
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 17: Meteor Woods
"Your fangs are so cool, Magnus! Can I touch them?" the young Vlad asked.They are playing on the border between the vampires and werewolves' territories. Magnus and Vlad just finished making a sand castle, with their dreamy hands thinking that someday, they'll share a joint territory. A joint kingdom to protect and preserve their home, the forests."Not with your soiled hands, Vlad," Magnus strictly restricted his playmate. Both of their hands are covered in soil from the work they did.Wearing their own school uniforms, the young werewolves and vampires always meet at the border of Red Woods and Meteor Woods secretly. They don’t have any idea why the elders told them to stay away from each other. Both of them are unaware of the bloody past their clans had."Wait for me here." Vlad rushed to the washing area and washed his little hands as thoroughly as he could. "They're now clean, so can I?" He asked, panting from the run he did. Before giving him permission, Magnus also cleaned his
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 18: Rocks and Chains
"My feet hurt. How long do we still have to climb?" Raze complained.They are now at the tower where Jet might be in. Together with Saint and Magnus, they successfully escaped the lurking werewolves. They passed on every rocky and thorny way before getting here. It is such a boomer that Raze isn't developed as a vampire yet, they could just transform into bats."A long, long way, Raze. Now keep your complaints and save your energy," Saint calmly replied.The three of them are trying their best not to create any sound, even suppressing heavy breaths caused by climbing on the never-ending stairs of the tower. They sometimes stop to rest but it doesn't last long. Jet needs to be saved, that's why every second matters. Who knows what will happen any minute?"This is the first time in years that they let a vampire stay here," Magnus said after Jet's familiar scent occupied his nose. After passing a narrow hallway, they finally reached the jail. But he can't be complacent about Jet's situat

"Tighten the security, please. Can they handle it? Sure, I'll make Claude pass the printed books in an hour." Hail carefully drops his word through the family telephone.Even with bruises and scratches, they managed to escape Meteor Woods. Due to the adrenaline rush, they managed to escape the tower before it turned into dust. They transformed themselves into vampires except for Raze. Hail led them down to a forest while the werewolves were distracted with the falling tower.The Reds are now in the palace, treating their wounds. All of them want to find Jet as soon as possible but it is dangerous to come back without a plan. They need to save Jet and it will be a burden if they will be added to the list of persons who need to be saved."Heard my name. What is it about, Hail?" Claude rushed from the sofa while wrapping his arm with a bandage. He got hit with flying steels earlier and it penetrated deep into his skin."I'm asking the Ministry if they can help us in strengthening the bar
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 20: Family is Us
“You must have missed your mom very much,” Saint commented after hearing Jet’s narration on how he ended up at Meteor Woods. Every event is detailed. From his mother’s appearance in Red Woods, meeting the werewolves, how he ended up in the tower, and being locked there.“I do,” Jet replied with a faint smile. After two days, Jet regained his consciousness. With the help of his brothers, he is recovering faster than expected. For most of the month, the palace is quiet. There are no fights and complaints coming from the young vampires, especially from Silas and Magnus who are Jet’s greatest rivals. “They didn’t change. Those werewolves can’t really live peacefully without spying on us, no?” Silas shifted the topic when he felt the atmosphere getting heavier. Jet mentioned earlier how the werewolves knew about the royal orphans and these two humans that live with them. “I wonder if their ears aren’t tired. They’ve been eavesdropping for years!”Everyone looked at Jet’s direction when
