He didn't know how many days had passed. Mornings, evening those were all the same to him in that disgusting basement. There was no light from the red sun, no midnight breeze, just the smell of mold and the constant reminder that he was in here while Philip was out there probably dying of worry. 

A little routine had been created, Kai knew by now what the Nightshades were planning, or what it seemed like they were planning. They would come to his suite room, where he would be tied in that uncomfortable chair with that little tray of theirs, look him in the eyes and start torturing them. He had never thought so many ways of actually hurting another person existed without killing them.

He was hungry, his face even paler, if that was even possible and his blue eyes looked constantly dazed after a few days. He did not have the energy to do much. Just blatantly deny to let Philip go. They would ask him once a day, when the torturing was over. What else could they do? Keep him there forever? He doubted that. 

The scarred man, their leader, seemed ecstatic every time Kai told them he loved Philip. Obviously not because he was an avid supporter of their love but because that way he would get to keep torturing him. The young prince had found out that he was in the list of the so-called improper vampires that the Nightshades hated. They couldn't do much about it though because he was the prince. All of them, dressed in their robes probably felt pretty good getting to see him hiss and groan, trying to hide the pain he felt. 

So as the days went by, without the prince knowing, the blond vampire reached a state where he simply was barely able to exist. When they would enter his prison he would close his eyes and remain silent as his torture went on and on. The only time he would hear his raspy voice would be when he mouthed that no to their question, every time his tone a little bit more silent because his strength kept failing him.

One day, he heard multiple footsteps behind the door. It was unusual, one man visited them and then he felt but for the first time someone else was with him.

His head felt heavy, it was hard to keep it up but for the first time his interest peaked. So he tried hard to focus, his blue eyes only giving him blurry visions as the door opened. 

"As you can see he has made no progress." The leader's familiar voice said and he watched his mother, the queen click her tongue. Her eyes were judgemental as she scanned the condition of her son. His ripped clothes, the blood staining them and the cuts that were denying to heal because he was too weak.

"What do you plan on doing now?" She asked. "Maybe this is not working."

"We do have another method to help you get rid of your problems my queen but we would need your assistance."

"What kind of method?" She asked and Kai couldn't help but interrupt them.

"Whatever you do, mommy dearest, the answer will always be the same." The prince told her.

"After everything you've been through are you still unwilling to let this madness go?"

"Madness? Me? Look at yourself. Hiring BloodBound's thugs to lock your son in a basement and torture him every day just so he could leave his lover and you have the audacity to call me mad? You're ridiculous." He commented and the woman's eyes widened. He couldn't see very well but still he liked to imagine her reaction, shocked and annoyed, the prince's two favorite states when it came to his mother.

"What do you want me to do?" The queen asked, ignoring her beaten up son. "You can do whatever you want. Just make sure he will not be with that dog." She continued.

"Well my queen. We want your son to take a blood oath. He can never speak of what happened here, he can never reveal to anyone the events or our names and faces. You're the only one that can do that, right?" He asked her 

The queen was taken aback by his request. A blood oath, it was serious and life threatening. She wasn't sure if she should agree to it or not. 

"Come on, don't be a coward now. You've already stepped on every little piece of ethics that you had" Kai told her. 

She didn't need to hear anything else. Her son had this ability to piss her off with no effort at all. She looked at him, the doubt being erased from her green eyes and she stepped forward. She opened her mouth, her fangs appearing and she bit her fingertip, drawing just the tiniest bit of blood. She grabbed her son, her hands cold on his tired body and she positioned him so she could see his arm. 

With the crimson ink of her body she drew something, Kai had no idea what it was but after she was done it started to burn, as if someone had drawn on him with fire. He hissed, his eyes opening wide and his mother spoke.

"Do you swear to never talk about the events that took place or will take place in the future considering the Nightshades?" She asked him, her voice cold and distant, not how a mother should sound.

Kai didn't answer.

"If you remain silent the burn won't go away. Just say you will not speak!" She shouted at him. It stinged and it kept going nonstop. He felt his whole body go numb and his amr melt off as if someone had set it on fire.

"I swear!" Kai shouted defeat and once he had uttered those words the sensation on his arm was gone. His head fell back, a relieved sigh escaping from his chapped lips as he heard their conversation.

"It's done."

"I imagined it a lot grander I have to admit." The leader said.

"Well it isn't." The queen answered him back. How much must she have been displeased with her son to agree to work with one of the people she hated. It was so ironic.

"Trust us our queen, you won't have a problem with this son any longer. Soon things will be fixed." 

"Kai. Don't push things." His mother told him and walked away, her footsteps echoing in the empty room. The prince was left alone with the psycho. He felt him getting closer, his breath landing on the side of his face.

"Now it's time to deal with that little lover of yours." He whispered and Kai's eyes widened.

"No!" The prince screamed.
