did you choose me?” Yovis turned away from him. "It was fate," he said and let his gaze wander over the corpse-strewn beach. "I've seen you ... in my dreams." Apparently he didn't want to go into further detail.Kayan didn't understand. He didn't ask any more, instead he let his mind wander back to Leana. Both vampires stood motionless and silent for a few minutes. Then Yovis broke the silence. “Let's go home.” Without looking at Kayan, he strode along the beach towards the castle in which they lived. Kayan saw his master jump up the rocks. For the first time, Kayan felt anger at Yovis. He wished he wasn't a vampire. He wanted to see Leana. Home ... to the small apartment. At that moment he had made up his mind: tonight he would fly to the apartment and see Leana.

"Hello Sima.", He greeted the little bat that belonged to Yovis. She fluttered wildly around his head and then followed back to her pole, which she clung to upside down.
Kayan was back in the castle. He couldn't see Yovis anywhere. Presumably he went to have a drink. Kayan was right about it. At least that way he could escape unnoticed.Kayan followed over the rooftops of the city so familiar to him. It was still a mystery to him how he had got here. He hadn't been here in a long time. A full six months.
Flying was quite easy for him by now. That was the only thing he liked about being a vampire. Now he never had to pay for a bus ticket again.
He followed into the street where the apartment was that he missed so much. He glanced through the window, but saw no one. It was pitch dark in the room. His intuition told him Leana was home.
The window wasn't closed and he could easily open it. He climbed through the opening and landed softly on the carpet. He could smell Leana. But it wasn't the usual cigarette smell. It smelled nice ...
The moonlight fell on the table. There was no ashtray there, and there were no cigarettes, as usual, on him. Kayan smiled to himself. He went to the closet and his eyes fell on a photo.He picked up the picture. In the photo was him and Leana. Both lay in each other's arms and looked happy. Kayan's heart grew heavy. He missed her so much ...
Suddenly he hears a noise and dropped the picture. The ramen shattered on the impact.
He heard a door open and Leana came out of the bathroom into the living room. She was wearing a bathrobe and her hair was wet. "Dave? Is that you? I heard how-" At the sight of Kayan she fell silent. She stared at him and he stared back. It seemed as if Leana wanted to scream ... or say something, but she couldn't say a word. "Leana ...", Kayan whispered and looked at her longingly. "K-kayan? That is impossible ... you aredead!" The door to the apartment opened and a man came in. He was tall and had short, blonde hair. "I'm back, Leana darling," he said and came into the dark living room with a bag. When he saw Kayan, he dropped her. "Dave!" Leana said and gave him a big hug.Kayan couldn't believe what he was seeing. Leana had another ...?
He shook his head as if to shake off the action. He backed toward the open window. "Kayan wait!" Leana said, holding out her hand to him. He shook his head again and jumped out the window.
Fighting back tears, he flew back ... home.

Emeral couldn't get a word out. He had expected a lot, but not that ... He didn't want to say anything, because if Kayan had already started, he didn't want to interrupt him either.

+ Flashback +

Yovis stood on the cliff, impatiently waiting for his student; he paced up and down. He kept glancing up at the sky to see if Kayan came back.
This was now far from the city. He followed across wide meadows and felt the fresh air on his face.That name ...He just couldn't forget it. Her words burned into his ear."Dave ..." Subconsciously he had pronounced the name with full hatred. That thought ... a startled Leana running into a man's arms ... haunted him. Kayan shook her head. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he carelessly wiped them away. He didn't know whether they came from the flying wind or whether they were triggered by his feelings. Yovis had said that Vamire had no feelings ... But it was different with him. He felt ... he felt what he had never felt before: emotional pain, sadness, despair, longing, jealousy and anger. How could that be?
But before he could find an answer to that question, he was almost at the castle. When he saw Yovis standing on the cliff, he jerked to a stop (in the air). With a horrified expression on his face, he saw his master look up at him. He didn't seem happy. Kayan swallowed and slowly flew to his master. It landed right in front of him and his cloak rustled as it landed.Kayan looked at the other vampire expectantly and thought that he was about to receive a star sermon, but ... nothing. Yovis just stared at him. His eyes were waiting as usual and there were still light traces of blood from his last meal around his mouth. "Master ..." Kayan started without looking into his eyes. "Where have you been?" Interrupted Yovis. "Master, I-" "Where have you been?", Yovis repeated this time louder. It seemed best for Kayan to tell the truth; there was no point in denying it. "By ...you..." he said quietly, still avoiding eye contact with his master.
"Did she see you?" Yovi asked sharply. Kayan took a deep breath and had to be careful not to cry again. "Yes ...", he breathed and wished he could finally get away from here ... away from his master, away from pain ...
Yovis seemed frozen. He took two steps backwards, as if preparing to attack. Holding his breath, Kayan glanced at him."SHE HAS WHAT?" He asked energetically, as if he didn't want it to be true. Kayan's eyes narrowed.
"S-she saw me ... u-and ..." Yovis shook his head as if he knew what was coming next. "No ..." he whispered. "U-and ... we talked to each other ..." Now it was out. Now he could only hope that the punishment wasn't too bad. "Look at me.", Yovis said unusually calmly. Kayan was amazed at the reaction and opened her eyes. Carefully he looked in the direction of his master, whose expression did not match the tone of his voice at all. "YOU WILL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN !!!" he shouted angrily and appeared even more powerful than he already was. Kayan winced and again the tears made their way out of his eyes. He had enough; that was too much for him. Without giving Yovis another look, he ran off. "NEVER AGAIN !! DID YOU UNDERSTAND? I'll keep an eye on you!" Yelled Yovis after him, but he made no move to follow him.Without paying attention to his words, Kayan ran into the lock. It was pitch black, but he saw every little detail and knew the way to his room. He threw the door open and heard Sima fluttering around the room. He threw himself on the bed and let his tears run free.
He didn't even notice that there was someone else in the room besides himself and Sima ...

Kayan fell silent again. The thought of Leana hurt him very much, but when he saw his friend grin, he couldn't suppress a grin either. Amused, he asked Emeral: "Well? Who was sitting in a dark corner ..."
Still smiling, Emeral shrugged and looked innocent.

+ Flashback +

Kayan buried his face in his pillow. He wanted to fall asleep and never wake up when it occurred to him that this is not possible ...
Suddenly he heard someone clear their throat. As if stung by a tarantula, he straightened up. “Who's there?” He looked around the dark room and his gaze fell on a chair in a corner.There he saw a pair of eyes flashing. He instinctively wiped the tears from his face, believing that there was his master. But it wasn't Yovis.
A dark figure sat in the corner and watched Kayan. Of course it hadn't escaped her that he had been crying.
"Who are you?" Kayan asked, sliding to the end of the bed. He got up and looked suspiciously into the stranger's eyes. They were as black as his.
"I'm Emeral.", Said the addressed and also got up. He had short brown hair and wore a similar black coat. like Kayan.
"Emeral?" Kayan asked in disbelief. "Yes, I am.", Emeral answered and pulled the brown ones up. "Do we know each other?"
Kayan shook her head. "No, ... only Yovis mentioned your name once ...", he explained.
"I see, so he hasn't forgotten me ..." grinned the brown-haired man. He took a step towards Kayan and held out his hand.
"I am pleased to meet you."Kayan stared puzzled at Emeral's hand for a moment, but finally he took it and introduced himself.
"My name is Kayan."
Emeral smiled, but Kayan was still skeptical.
"What are you looking for in my room?"
Emeral laughed. "That used to be mine!"

+ Flashback end +

Emeral was still grinning. "I can still remember the day very well ... And now I understand why you didn't notice me back then. You were way too upset ..." Kayan glanced at him and continued.

+ Flashback +

"So Yovis mentioned me once, didn't you?" Emeral asked curiously.
"Yeah, but he didn't tell me much. Just that you were his student ... are ... whatever. He wasn't exactly keen to tell me more," Kayan explained.
Emeral cocked his head and asked, "Do you want to know?"
Kayan didn't know what to answer because he didn't want to sound rude.
Emeral interpreted his silence as a "yes".
"Well ... the first thing you should know is that I didn't leave willingly.Yovis sent me away. I knew I wasn't properly trained to cope on my own, but still ... An argument was the trigger at the time; he sent me away. Since I was still a young vampire, I had to obey my master's orders. "Emeral paused for breath and Kayan made a noise that sounded suspiciously like a scornful" Tss ... ".
"Is what?" He asked uncertainly. Kayan noticed that the other person was looking at him questioningly and he said quickly: "No, it's just that I ... don't really think that you have to obey the orders of your master ..."
Emeral saw through it quickly. “In
