Kai's eyes fluttered open slowly, the prince facing a blue morning sky through the holes and the spaces between the branches. It was a pretty sky, clear with no puffy white clouds and he smiled. He felt relaxed and calm when something caused an itch on his cheek. He placed his hand on his face, feeling something walk on it and he jumped up, catching a centipede with his fingers. He looked at it, his blue eyes wide as he threw it away disgusted.

"Why is there a fucking centipede on my face?" He mumbled and rubbed his eyes.

"Because we're in the forest Boss." John's familiar voice was heard and for the first time Kai observed his surroundings. Indeed they were in the forest but why? Why was he laid on the dirty ground with a freaking bug taking a walk on his face. He looked at the young werewolf with a questioning look, a gap in his memory until everything slowly came back. "Lun!" He exclaimed and stood up, frantically looking around. "He snapped my neck. He snapped my neck!" Kai shouted in anger.

"Calm down Kai. I am sure they will be fine. Xan will bring Lun here sooner or later." Soran's voice reached his ears and Kai found him sitting underneath a tree, an apple in his hand. The prince frowned, his eyes traveling between the two.

"Are you on the same wavelength here? Xan will never go save Lun! Are you people insane? Even if he did go they probably have them now. We need to go!" He shouted, his loud voice scaring away the birds that rested in the trees. Soran stood up, throwing on the ground his half eaten apple and approached his friend.

"We can't."

"Why?"

"Because they are after you. They don't know that Xan is a prince too and if they have them they won't hurt them. They need a reason to lure you out. If we go now we will lead ourselves straight into a trap. Is that what you want?" Soran asked him. Was that the reason Philip had asked Kai to stay in? Was he aware that their Alpha had people out? He was confused, he didn't know anything and honestly nothing made sense. They appeared right at Lun's doorstep, a freaking army out of the blue while they thought they were safe there. Where was Philip? He had no way of contacting him, he had no idea what was going on.

"I...we can't leave them there though." Kai said, confused and hurt. John nodded and walked closer, crushing branches with his feet as he approached Kai. He patted his shoulder, making him look at him.

"We won't. We just have to think about it a bit. It's stupid to go in there blindly and believe me for me to say that I think it's pretty obvious. That Alpha, he is scary, he liked to make people hurt. That's what he wants to do to you. But we won't let him" John said, trying to comfort the prince. Kai nodded, agreeing with him. No matter how much he wished to rip that man to shreds he had to be patient. He had been out of action for too long, he got disoriented and anxious with every little thing. A while back this would be just a game to him, he would plot and succeed but now, now after so long in hiding he had simply turned into a coward..

"So what do you think we should do? I have no way of contacting Philip or Reina. All of my things, my phone, are in my apartment. They are our best option." Kai said.

"It's alright. I contacted my friend." Soran informed him. "Before I came to you I lived with a witch. She was being hunted by hunters and I saved her so we became friends. She also owes me and is the one who provided us with your antidote. She will be coming here. We will have her cast a spell on the hotel. I have been thinking about it for a while and I have an idea." Soran said

Kai's eyes were filled with hope. He approached Soran and hugged him, the man tenderly wrapping his arms around him, letting the prince rest on his chest. John felt a pinch on his chest, as if someone was piercing him with a needle. He turned around, not pleased with a sight and took a few steps away.

"Thank you. Thank you Soran. I don't know what I would do if you weren't here." He heard Kai thank him and the white haired man laughed.

"Come on. We all know you're smarter than me. I just think you need to get into shape again. So long away from the palace has turned you a bit soft." He commented. 

John blinked, curious. What the hell did they do in that palace that they could easily face situations like these. He wasn't affected by it and still he was shitting his pants. 

"I know. It's embarrassing really. Since I got into this mess I should at least be prepared for it." He mumbled and scratched the back of his head. "Philip, he…" he whispered, getting worried about him now. What if he tried to do something, thinking Kai could be there. He had no news from him for a while. His heart began to race, small seeds of worry were sprouting in his heart. About Lun, about Philip, even about his brother even though he didn't want to admit it. He had gotten everyone involved in his mess again and he couldn't help but think that History was repeating itself in a way he didn't like. The burden of being at fault, the burden of holding others' life in your hands was torturing. Some liked it but Kai was always scared of it. He knew Lun would fight for him, Philip too and that made him feel responsible for everything.

"They will be fine." John said, smiling at him. "Like I was fine because you made sure of it. Don't worry Boss, we will save them." He said and Kai tried to smile back. He was too scared though to manage to hide it. John again placed his palm on his shoulder. "Boss, you're a lot better than you think. At everything, have a little faith in yourself. There is really no need for being humble." He teased him with a giggle and Kai rolled his eyes when suddenly he thought of something.

"Sleeping beauty!" He shouted startling his two friends. "When is your friend coming? Will she be able to find us?" He asked and Soran nodded.

"Any minute now she will be there." Soran said.

"Good. Because I have a plan. We will do it the sleeping beauty way." He mumbled a spark IG iting in his eyes and he smiled. Yes, that way he would save Lun and his brother with no trouble. He would make it, he wouldn't have to see anyone get hurt again. "Can you tell her to hurry?" Kai asked Soran.

"No need for that. I am already here.." A sweet female voice echoed through the forest.
