Lun raised his hands in the air, wanting to surrender before there was even a fight. He smiled beautifully at the witch before him and she laughed, the vibrant sound traveling through the forest, dark birds flying above their heads, scared of her malice. 

"You think you can surrender? You don't even want to ask me what's going on?" Aira asked him and he shrugged his shoulders. 

"I know very well you requested me here in exchange for your help. I didn't think you would bring me here to have tea, I have to be honest but you my dear are rushing things. Telling me you want to kill me right off the start. Where's the fun in that?" he asked her. 

"How can you be so carefree?" Aria asked him. It seemed that she was in no mood to joke with the playful vampire. She took a few steps closer, approaching Lun and standing so close to him that her breathing landed on his lips. He smiled, putting his hands down and shrugged his shoulders again. 

"I am not bitter if someone dumps me. What can I do? I guess sometimes I can be the better person." he said and watched how Aira's body tensed, her hands clenched in fists on her sides before she raised her arms and slapped him. Tears were gathered in her deer like eyes, being freed as she talked. 

"You're a monster, you know that? Not because you're a vampire. But just because you're you. Rotten from the inside out. You think I am just being bitter because we broke up? Have you chosen to forget what you did?" She asked him, her eyes shooting deadly glares at him. Lun took a step back, his expression changing. There was no cheeky smile on his face anymore and as the moonlight invaded the forest through the spaces of the leaves and branches he turned into someone else. Shadows appeared on his face and his eyes turned cloudy. He wasn't happily playing the fool, he was not the trickster anymore. 

"What I did was the best outcome for everyone." He stated, Aira's eyes widening in shock before she slapped him again. This time she left a very clear red mark on his face, slowly fading away. Lun rubbed his cheek, turning his head to look at her, anger slowly appearing in his eyes. "Will you stop doing that? It fucking hurts!" he shouted and the witch smiled. 

It wasn't a smile caused by happiness though, it was deranged, distant, as if it was touching the border of madness, matching so perfectly twisted with the tears that trailed paths on her beautiful face. 

"Is that what you tell yourself so you can sleep at night? That what you did was the best for everyone? Was it the best for that poor child? Our child?" She screamed. 

"I didn't know I could have children! Only purebloods are able to. How did you expect me to know that something like this could happen? That you and I could bring such an atrocity to this world?" Lun asked her and she pushed him, making him take a step back. 

"Don't call my son an atrocity." She threatened him, pointing a finger at him. 

"Aira, look at me." Lun said strictly ang grabbed her arms. "I had Kai's blood, that's why I was able to have children but…witches and vampires are not supposed to have children! You know that! They turn out to be soulless, without emotions. You know that so well, you are a witch, the child of a demon with a human and I…I was cursed by your kind. Did you think that our species could be free to bring children into this world?" he asked her. "Me killing that child, it was the best for everyone." 

"No…we didn't know. He was too young, how could we know he would turn into a killer?" she mumbled. "You murdered him and now you're making it seem like you did a good thing!" She shouted again, trying to escape from Lun's grip. "Let go!" she exclaimed, her voice loud and the earth began to shudder, as if an earthquake was happening. Lun lost his balance, falling on the soil and releasing her. He tried to get up but he found himself restrained, rooted to the ground, vines coming out front he earth and wrapping on his wrists and ankles. "I have been looking for you, in BloodBound, in the human world, everywhere and the moment I was about to give up the gods helped me. I wanted to avenge my son's death." 

"That thing would have killed us all!" Lun told her. "You think I wanted to kill my own child? Do  you think I am this heartless? Do you think I don't find myself hurting because of it? But what could I do? Let him grow up? Become a real monster, even worse than us?" He kept spitting questions at her, the woman losing her composure and the vines slowly began to turn tighter, cutting into his skin. "Aira, you don't want to do this."

"You said that no one had to know. You made me seem like the crazy lady who couldn't get over you. No one knew about the poor child. No one mourned him. He…"

"We mourned him. We did Aira, please." Lun said. 

He didn't seem like himself. He was being ironic, he wasn't trying to fight his way out or outsmart his opponent. As Aira stood before him, a mess he couldn't find the strength to fight. He had known her, he had loved her and he had hurt her in the worst possible way. That didn't mean he hadn't hurt himself too. Lun closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, trying to ignore the pain from his restraints. 

"My baby…" she cried. 

"He was my baby too. I didn't want him dead!" Lun screamed at her. "But I didn't want him to turn into a monster. You know very well how the children with parents of our kind end up, no matter how hard you deny it. So you preferred that we raised him, see him for the monster he was going to become, see him kill everyone around him and after everything be forced to kill him?" he told her. 

"He wasn't going to turn like that!" Aira screamed again, the ground shaking before it split in two.

Right underneath Lun, the earth broke into two, creating a huge ditch that led to absolute darkness. The man was being kept to life by the roots that restrained him, swinging above his death. "You send my son to the grave…I will do the same for you." she said, her eyes flaming with hate. 

Everyone had secrets they wanted to hide. Kai had secrets he couldn't expose, Xan had memories he had chosen to conceal from everyone and Lun, well he had things he wished to forget. Many events in his past that proved he wasn't as kind as he seemed. The death of his son was one of those events, not even Kai knew about it. He pretended not to know about it, he pretended it didn't happen just so he could numb the guilt.. Days like today, days when he would reach the brim of death he believed they were meant to be his punishment.
