Chapter 75: Visitation-III
"Do you hear me?" asked Han Seoyeon when she received no answer from Wan Seulgi. Her best friend turned her face, her eyes looking away from her to the mirror beside her and saw how her eyes were in the color of red.
Her expression was stunned, she felt weird as if he body was not her own and Han Seoyeon frowned, "Seulgi?"
"Got it! Thanks for cleaning my mess but you don't have to. I will call the nurse to help me and you could go home now. Don't you have work tomorrow?" Wan Seulgi pestered her and brushed her hand aside all while avoiding their eyes to meet.
Han Seoyeon felt odd with the way Wan Seulgi was brushing her away but before she knew it, her friend had pushed her out of the room. She stood in front of the door and wrinkled her lips. Seulgi was acting throughly off and the entire time when she had walked out of the room by avoided her eyes as if she had done a terrible mistake. But Seulgi had gone through a bad experience and perhaps she just need to find a time for herself.
Han Seoyeon walked down the corridor of the hospital to exit the place, her mind was thinking what she should do now that she has saved her friend and she recalled Jung Hwa. The pureblood vampire had saved her a great time by saving her friend's life and though she recall he had claim to want to help her to raise her favor, she still felt a simple apology wasn't enough after he had risk his life. But there was also not many things she could do to return his favor.
While mulling over what she should do, Han Seoyeon went back home with her motorcycle and came back home in less then ten minutes journey. Once she arrived in front of her door, she stopped to see an envelope sticking out of the mail box which was placed bellow the door only a few centimeter off towards the bottom. Raising one of her brows, she pulled out the envelope, flipping one side, she saw a carefully written envelope secured with a blue stamp. Then she turned the other side of the envelope to see on the left corner of the envelope the name of the sender as 'Associates' for her.
This letter writings was once that use in Western Movies and to mention sending a letter was not the way she thought of as there were digitals messages they could use to contact her. Sending a proper letter invitation wasn't something she expected to see.
Perhaps vampires love to follow traditions? Seeing the letter was written perfectly it seemed that they were used to do this. Seoyeon opened the envelope, pulling the letter to read what was written and scanned the words each by each.
To dear Miss Han Seoyeon,
We are the Associates, the organization build to keep peace between humans and vampires. Due to the matter of Miss Gwon we have found out how you have known much about the vampires' society and ask for your cooperation to come and comply to answer the questions we have for the investigation and the peace between us.
Sincerely, The Associates.
Han Seoyeon read the one paragraph letter many times over the envelope, finding the letter was short and brief however, she found there was subtle threatens hidden in the letter. They may have said investigation but she knew that investigation includes to find out whether she was a witch or that she had lend a hand to help the witches. Far more than she thought, she had involved deeper to the world of the night creatures.
Her heart felt uneasy. The world of the night creatures were one that she doesn't know of. But she had no choice. Jung Hwa had warned her what was the consequence if she doesn't adhere to their request. Then she remember Jung Hwa's promise to protect her and her heart felt slowly settled down from the worries. Her smile appeared again despite the worries that she felt. She then entered her room, giving herself the sleep she deserve after what had happened.
"This is the witchess lair. I thought the place would be more grandiose." said a man with a brown hair entering the building which had been abandoned for years. Though it was bright in the afternoon, the place felt dark with the eerie atmosphere the building had.
Pushing the glasses resting on his nose, Deok Ji Hyeang rolled his eyes, "Could they afford a grandiose place as their base without being found out for kidnapping people?"
"That does make a point." said the brown haired man.
"It should." Deok Ji Hyeang clipped. He then saw someone standing in front of the door which lead inside and noticed it was the half vampire, Yu Sheen. The half vampire looked tired, his body was haggard and before he realized the two senior had come, he had been leaned his back lazily to the wall nearest to him.
"Sir Deok, Sir Gu." called Yu Sheen, bowing in respect.
"Jung Hwa is?" asked Deok Ji Hyeang not beating around the bush.
"I-inside sir, Mr. Jung is currently investigating the place." Yu Sheen reported though Deok Ji Hyeang may be a half vampire like him, the man was his senior and also one of the few vampires he respect in the Association. After he replied, he saw Sir Gu and Deok Ji Hyeang entering the place.
Jung Hwa bent his knees, flipping all the pages in the book carefully with a relaxed expression. The potions had been carried right in the morning with the people of the associates under Gwon Jeoknim's order and he stayed in the place to reads the boom whilst waiting for the clean up to end before he could explore every inch and corner in the room.
Reading some books, he found that witches was more than he thoughts. There were types of witches, specialities, and hereditary. There were also some books that he couldn't understand speaking of normal words at sight but in truth there was nothing understandable to read for.
Chapter 76: Visitation-IV
The types of the witches varied with their hereditary. White witchess whose power was to heal and dark witchess who borrowed the power of black magic. He then flipped the other page of the particular book but the five pages after the book seemed as if it was burnt with crisp black line of ashes still perceivable in the last page of the book.
"Hwa." called Deok Ji Hyeang from behind, breaking his concentration from the book he had on his hands.
"Ji Hyeang." greeted back Jung Hwa, he then look aside beside him to take a note of the brown haired man beside him.
"There's a lot more book than I thought, less bodies and simple room." stated the man beside him, his eyes travelled all around the place having fun on his own way by seeing the new room.
"Gu Man Yeong." named Deok Ji Hyeang notifying Jung Hwa of the new presence of the man.
Gu Man Yeong turned his face, giving a hand out as a handshake. "We have met once, didn't we Mister Jung? In the party of your grandfather's birthday." the man added information for Jung Hwa to try to remember.
"That's quite hard to remember. My grandfather had his birthday for more than a hundred times."
Gu Man Yeong laughed at his words, not taking his words as an offense. "That's right. How if I say that you have met my brother once?"
Deok Ji Hyeang had a little change of expression when he mentioned his brother and Jung Hwa had also noticed it but feigned a confused look, "Brother?"
"Chu Sunji." named Gu Man Yeong having Jung Hwa to remember of the vampire whose hand he had broken off.
"You are his elder brother, I take it?"
"Yes. But not to worry I find him as an eyesore so I don't mind you breaking his hand instead, I should thank you for doing that. He is too cheeky for his own good." Gu Man Yeong laughed filled the hollow room.
"Is that so," Jung Hwa kept his words short. He had seen many of vampires hating their bloods related family but taking from Gu Man Yeong's features and how their family name was different from each other, he could see that they were brought up different. Though that doesn't mean he would look at him with a bright light just because he hated Chu Sunji. Some times apple doesn't fall far from the tree and perhaps the two had some same personality they shared and he didn't sees it as good.
"I heard there were only one witches found. But this place is too big for only one witches to live at." Assumed Deok Ji Hyeang.
"You haven't heard the full story yet then. There were two witchess and the other one died and turn to ashes. Of course by my hands." replied Jung Hwa. "Where will this case be moved on?"
"Of course that would be to your new team, however, we will still need instruction if everything will be placed in your team. As you know every evidence are placed in a same place except for the cases assigned to." replied Deok Ji Hyeang, pushing his glasses when he ended his words.
Jung Hwa had been walking toward the end of the corridor as he received Deok Ji Hyeang's words and followed by the man before Go Man Yeong. "The witches cases are still new and it would be safe to say that the evidence will all be throughly examine by every associates members."
And there it was, the problem he found. Truthfully Jung Hwa didn't feel the Associates to be spy-proof and there could be no telling that between the people inside the Associates had worked together with witches. Because from what he could see it would be hard for dark witches to hide themselves without being found out for centuries. There must be a reason and someone who had protected them from behind.
It was still a speculation and to say it was correct were too quick and too impulsive but it was better to be aware then not.
Surveying the place take less than half an hour, the place had mostly been emptied and there were only few things they could find. They had gathered back to the bookshelves, Deok Ji Hyeang was in the opposite room examining each cells while Gu Man Yeong and Jung Hwa was in the same place where Wan Seulgi was captured at.
"Hm, that's odd, isn't it?" asked Gu Man Yeong and Jung Hwa only gave him a faint glance. "There is a stain here, a stain of something like liquid. But there shouldn't be anyone alive when you had come to the room didn't you?"
"There was." Jung Hwa responded lazily. "You must haven't read the documents before coming here. You should read it now Associates Gu when you still have the time to."
"Perhaps I have missed it." said Gu Man Yeong. "So where is the person now? If they had been captured that would mean they have seen the witches or perhaps heard something about their conversation to help us-"
"I have said to read the documents first and you will find that the human was saved because she was about to be kidnapped only an hour before I came." Though Jung Hwa hasn't said a complete lie, he also didn't planned to say the entire truth.
First reason being that the person and the Associates were not able to be fully trusted on and the second being that he didn't want to involve Wan Seulgi who was Han Seoyeon's friend. Knowing the Associates, Wan Seulgi who was kept by the witchesses for a day would be deemed as she had known too much and the possibility that she and her entire family would be kill wasn't too far fetched.
The night creature always think the worst of the worst, twisting everything to their way and he had seen it with his own eyes thus why he had chose his own way to solve the problem.
