[-Vitre Hotel-]

In metropolis, a city where a large population of humans resides.

​​

One of its famous hotel is also owned by the Vitre Family.

Scheduled for her exclusive performance, Melody is on stage performing her own composed song.

Melody sang while moving along with the beat of the music.

People were captivated and grooving along to her song.

While Melody was putting her heart out in performing, Malia and the other hunters were busy checking on the security of the entire premises.

Ben was assigned to be on constant cognizant on the surrounding of Melody.

The concert hall of the hotel was jammed pack with fans of Melody.

Fans gushing over their admiration for Melody.

Indeed many were mesmerized at the enchanting voice of Melody.

A celebrity filled with talent and beauty.

Every move she makes and note of music that comes out from her makes her audience want for more.

Melody took a pose and breathed for a while before asking her audience.

"Do you want some more???" Melody asked her audience.

Setting the mood of her audience.

Together, her audience screamed for more.

"Yeeeesss!!"

Such response echoing around the concert hall.

At the same, while the audience in the concert hall was getting pumped up for more fun, Malia was accompanied by Booth.

"Can you stop insisting on something I really don't know? And to such thing that I am totally not interested in." Malia trying to dismiss the constant queries of Booth.

"I think if you give it a try or make a real effort, you might remember your past and regain your entire identity … as a whole part. Not just some fragments of yourself." Booth insisted on Malia to remember her past so she could really be happy.

Right after her sudden passing out.

Losing her own consciousness suddenly made Booth really worried for Malia.

But the kiss they both shared was something unexpected and he could not easily shake off the butterfly feeling in the pit of his stomach after experiencing it.

Feeling the lips of Malia against his made him giddy and uneasy about it because of the idea that it was not for him at all.

"Why are we talking about it right now? Can't you see that we are in the middle of something?" Malia told Booth about her own thoughts while checking the perimeter.

"Oh, come on! Vampires will be no match for us if they do appear right now." Booth was too confident in his words.

Deep inside, Malia was avoiding the topic because she cannot explain what happened with her.

A surreal feeling and something she thought may have meant something. But it was not the time for her to dwell on it.

Treating it as a hallucination would be better than complicate everything with something which she cannot explain.

No matter how much she thinks about it, there was no explanation to what it was and who it was.

Her intercom buzzed and her pager lit at the same time.

"Something's up by the roof deck!" Malia informed Booth.

"Stay here! I will go there." Booth volunteered as a reinforcement for the other hunters.

"No! I will go with you." Malia refused to let Booth stay.

"Wow! Concern much for me?" Booth teased Malia who was stepping a bit back trying to keep a safe distance from Booth.

He continued, "I will stay if you admit that you are worried for me."

"Shut up! You have time for this nonsense?" Pushing Booth back.

Booth gave up on teasing Malia and reminded her to stay around Melody.

"You are more needed here. We cannot afford Melody being taken. It will be a disaster once something bad happens to her or if she gets taken." Both reminded Malia about her primary task to keep Melody safe.

Malia also gave in to Booth's suggestion.

Immediately, they parted ways. She instructed Ben and other hunters to be more vigilant.

Making them flock around the concert hall.

Other members of the audience could sense the sudden heightened security around.

Even Melody was starting to get spooked about it.

As she dances and sings along with the music, she waited for the right time to discreetly go backstage.

When the backup dancers appeared and made a dance routine, Melody immediately asked Ben who was staying close around her.

"What's happening? Why the security around me became tensed? Is something wrong?" Melody asked curiously.

"There were vampires spotted in the building and in the roof deck. It is being taken care of right now, as we speak." Ben elaborated in detail to Melody.

"Update me whatever it is. I can't believe these blood suckers would have the guts to attack us again. I guess they are desperate to take me as their leverage to my father." Melody pointed out.

But Ben was thinking about something.

"Why are you looking so serious?" Melody wondered.

"Currently, most of the hunters are focused in this spot to protect you. I was thinking about … in public, it's not only you who was declared as Boss Tony's daughter. Even Malia was publicly announced as his daughter. What if … just what if she is the real target of these blood suckers and not you." Ben shared his own assessment of the situation.

Making Melody more worried regarding the current situation.

Meanwhile, at the lobby of the hotel …

Suddenly, a hunter in his executive suit was seen in the elevator … injured.

Some of the witnesses screamed at the sight of the bleeding hunter.

Malia was quick on her feet and instructed the guards of the hotel to make sure everything is contained.

So that there will be no panic or mayhem may take place.

And she instructed the other hunters to secure Melody.

Further instructing them to ask for reinforcement from the headquarters that there is an attempt on the president's daughter.

The injured hunter uttered.

"T-they are … in the basement … parking lot!"

He was assisted to the side and given first aid. As the other medical unit came to tend his wounds, Malia decided to go help the other hunters down in the basement parking lot.

Moments after …

Arriving at the basement parking lot.

She scanned the premises until she saw lifeless hunters on the ground.

"Damn it!" Malia expressed her disappointment upon realizing she was already too late to help and serve as back up.

Then a frightening presence revealed himself from behind.

"So this is the other daughter of the new president of the Hunters' Association. I badly wanted to see this other daughter. Because …" Lucas was interrupted in his greeting when Malia decided to blast him with fire balls.

Instantly, Lucas evaded right in time before getting hit by the consecutive attacks of Malia.

At the same time, Malia hid behind one of the cars.

Lucas gave signal to Fluffy for a decoy attack.

Fluffy will serve as the bait while Lucas will do the main attack.

Things went perfectly as he intended to.

Because right after Fluffy appeared from the shadows in front of Malia, it surprised her and struck the feral wolf.

Fluffy whimpered upon getting the hit but Lucas gave him enhancer pills to make him regenerate quicker than usual.

Enhancer pills were one of the drugs produced by the Legion of Vampires as their secret weapon during missions but not a guarantee for survival.

Due to being spooked and focusing only on Fluffy, her defenses were down.

"A werewolf? With a vampire?" Malia uttered in surprise upon looking at the limping feral wolf.

"Tribrid to be exact!" response from Lucas before releasing his surprise attack.

Unexpectedly, she got thrown off upon getting a blast at her side.

After getting knocked off to a few meters away.

Her ears went buzzing and she got disoriented for a bit.

But Lucas was more surprised.

"Where is your regenerating ability?" Lucas looking confused.

Lucas furthered, "What happened to you, Selene?"

He was expecting for Malia to defend herself better and regenerate from her wounds.

Unfortunately, she was bleeding from the explosive attack of Lucas.

"M-my name is Malia …" weak reply of Malia.

Before completely blacking out.
