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
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 21: Roam and Run
An individual possesses a lot of personalities and behavior that they choose to have depending on the situation. There are sides of them that cannot be seen in the first meeting. There are still masks covering their true selves. But over time, those masks gradually vanish, revealing the truth that is never expected or seen before. “I bet you can now run, Jet.” Magnus commented on Jet’s situation while brewing his coffee on the counter. Jet is having his tea paired with toasted bread on the table. Hail and Claude made their way to the ministry just after the sun made its first appearance today. ‘Yes. I can also kick. Can I try it on your face?” Jet answered sarcastically, Another typical scene inside the castle. Magnus turned his back from Jet and focused on making his coffee. “What a lovely breakfast scene to be seen. Is Raze still sleeping?” Saint asked while coming down the stairs. His slow, unstable steps made him look like he was drunk. Jet, with a piece of bread in this mouth,
Red: Orphans and Royalties Chapter 22: Escapade
“I don’t know what I should feel about this,” Raze uttered hours after his sudden transformation. “Happy, I guess…?” Saint replied, trying to make the atmosphere somehow lighter. After a couple of minutes, Chairman Sun came and confirmed Raze’s vampire activation. Unlike other people who finally got their transformation, the Reds seemed to have an expressionless and blurry feeling. There’s not even a hint of celebration except for Saint, who kept his joy inside. “What are you feeling right now, Raze?” Claude asked. “My body feels hot from the inside. I feel like I’m not inside my body. It’s from someone else’s. Weird. That’s how I can describe myself right now,” the latter replied with a trembling hand. “When did you start noticing the weirdness of your body?” the nurse’s turn to ask. “There aren’t symptoms or hints that I am transforming into a vampire. I don’t know the symptoms but I act and talk like normal a while ago. I think it activated when I saw Saint in danger. Like an

“Get out of my room will you?!” Jet’s face is as red as a tomato. The four of them are in the living room while Jet’s mother went to the grocery store. Jet’s 72-inch television was on but instead of watching a movie, Magnus and Claude are playing Jet’s Xbox while Saint is quietly scanning the magazines on the small, round table. “Hey! I never yelled at you like that when you at Red Woods!” Magnus screamed back. Claude is having a good time because he is three punches away to defeat Magnus. “I don’t care! You know I hate it when someone touches my belongings without my permission!”“We’re already brothers so it’s normal. Don’t act like a kid, Jet. We’re having fun with this…Xbox?” Claude read the big letters printed on the box. When they said they were brothers, that means them being comfortable in using each other’s belongings as long as they don’t ruin it. A thing that Jet hates so much.“Don’t touch that!” No response. Jet turned his back from the playing brothers and grabbed some
