Chapter 8: Light and Sun
It's finally their last day at the hospital. Raze is at Jet's room, trying to recover the photos he captured 7 days ago. Until now, they can't find any evidence that we entered Red Woods aside from the unmoved van and their disappearance. Their memories from that place aren't still clear. Whenever they try to recall scenes, their heads only hurt. The doctor advised the two of them to relax their minds for a while but their curiosity haunts them every night.
"Can I see your notebook? This is damn frustrating," Raze complained. Without a word, Jet gave his notebook, the one he used for listing down details. "It's cleanly torn as if we've been asleep for so long," Raze murmured.
"Do you really remember everything?" Jet asked. His partner nodded and proceeded in rearranging his camera. "Why can

Jet is quietly pinching his arms, trying to convince himself that everything is only a dream. Well, he doesn't even consider it one, it's a nightmare. On the back of his mind, he's wishing that someone will help them get away from this place, from this people."Welcome to the Reds' residence," Chairman Sun introduced as they go down the old-fashioned vehicle.Surprisingly, it still works pretty stable. After a long discussion with the said chairman and the five mysterious siblings, Raze and Jet waited for another hour outside the office."Welcome home?" Saint whispered, receiving death glares from his siblings. "What?" he mouthed at them. Jet took a step back. They will never stay here for long. Their home lies in the city, not in the wild.

"It's freaking 5 in the morning!" Raze yelled while having a tug-of-war with his blanket against Claude. The sun is not yet up but the Reds are already dressed up, waiting for Jet and Raze downstairs."I know! We need to shop early for your clothes and accessories. Now get up and take a bath. Saint will bring your clothes here," Claude fought back, who is now shaking up the sleepyhead Jet.The older environmentalist sat up straight and threw hateful stares at the busy Claude. "I hate you," he said before stomping his feet to the bathroom."Same goes with you," the vampire replied with a tune.It only took them 20 minutes to prepare since they refused to use bathroom from other rooms. You know, keeping their pride. Just what Claude said, their clothes were brought by Saint in no time. They rode the van and quickly arrived at the mall. Unexpectedly, the stores are all open but there was no single customer aside from them.Conf

"We don't belong here! Do you know where we live, huh? It's far-" Jet protested."At the capital of this country. Manila to be exact. Environmentalists at ENVO, son of-" Raze's grip on the table tightened. People in Red Woods are really mysterious. Funny how they know nothing about them but the other group knows almost everything, including their personal lives."Are you a stalker or what?! Let us go! We're not here to play your shitty game! Know that we're here to work. Wake up from your sleep!" Jet fueled his shouting engine again."Tie them. They won't listen to me," Amanda instructed her guards. She then walked to the the elder Reds' direction. "Hail, Claude, I told you about this right? How come they're still rebel like this?" she hissed. Claude

"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.
