KING GULF
Chapter 24's

Apo and Gulf sat facing each other. Gulf looked indifferent to him. He was upset that he had to stay in this place.

"Can I get out of here? It's very boring here" Gulf said, tapping the table.

"You can come out as long as you are aware of who you are" Gulf sighed, leaning back in his chair folding both his hands staring at Apo.

"That again, what do you want me to be like? I've come to my senses" Gulf said angrily. He really does not understand what people want from him, especially he can not remember anything since he realized.

"If you're conscious, you won't hurt him" Gulf furrowed his brows.

"Who? That fucking human? What does that have to do with me? After all, humans are just food for a vampire"

"Don't bother him. You yourself are also human" Gulf looked at him and immediately laughed at Apo's words.

"I? Hahaha are you being stupid now? I'm a vampire"

"You're only half a vampire. You don't believe it? Then what do you believe? Even you don't remember anything" Gulf Laughter instantly disappeared, she couldn't deny because she didn't remember anything right now. The door opened again, Mew went inside and immediately got a look of dislike from the Gulf.

"Whether I go, he will accompany you. So don't you hurt him or you'll I'll lock him up again" Apo said.

Silent, both are silent. Gulf propped up his chin while gazing out the window, he was annoyed that the room he occupied was given a barrier by Apo.

"What a difference it is to be locked up in that dark place" he murmured. Mew approached the Gulf and held his hand.

"What are you doing? Don't come any closer. I will not guarantee your safety" Gulf said a little indifferently.

"I remember something. Back then I had expressed my feelings for you, but I haven't gotten your answer" Gulf raised his eyebrows next door.

'What's wrong with this man?' His inner. Mew tightened his grip.

"Hurry back, everyone needs you. Your kingdom now needs you or everything will die" No answer, Gulf just stared at Mew cluelessly. Mew sighed, he knew it was useless to talk to the Gulf now.

"I'm human, so I need to sleep. Remember don't attack me or your uncle will lock you up" Mew laughed a little with his own jokes, while Gulf just glanced at him indifferently. Mew lay on the bed leaving the Gulf still sitting in a chair staring out the window.

Mew looked at Gulf's back, slowly touching it, slightly stroking it. Gulf fell silent, he did not understand why he did not even have the heart to get rid of him now. He also let Mew.

"I heard your curse is gone. I'm glad to hear that. I was so worried that something might happen to you that I forced p'Mile to come up with a solution"

"Put your hand away, or I'll break it right now" Gulf said with emphasis, Mew smiling. He really misses her now.

...****************...

Until midnight the Gulf was still in position, until something distracted him. The Gulf tried to catch the flying smoke.

"What'sthis? Really annoying" Upset Gulf. The smoke instantly turned into a woman staring at him up close, making Gulf flinch. Gulf sculpting he held his head with an irregular breath. Instantly his eyes continued to change color from red to black and returned to red. Now the consciousness of the Gulf people is trying to take over again.

The disturbed Mew wakes up and sees the Gulf worrying him.

"Gulf. Why you?!" Mew holds Gulf's hand. He screamed like pain that worried him even more, until the Gulf who intended to get rid of Mew's hand so as not to touch him, with considerable strength Mew was thrown to hit the wall.

As soon as he who had been restless was silent, his breathing regained order. His hand that was in his head slowly descended and looked at the person who was grimacing in pain. Gulf is surprised to see Mew and approaches him immediately.

"P'Mew are you okay?" Despite his illness, Mew smiles happily as the Gulf have returned. He immediately pulled Gulf into his arms. He immediately remembered, he was the one who threw Mew.

"I knew you'd be back" Gulf fell silent. He pushed Mew to release his embrace. Mew looked at Gulf who sighed heavily.

"I... I hurt you and I killed my people. I'm a monster. You shouldn't be close to me" Gulf said clenched his hands tightly, his tears flowing. Mew wiped his tears, cupped his cheeks.

"No. I'm fine, you must have just accidentally thrown me. You're not the one who killed them. You're only controlled by the vengeance of the sword you took"

"But my own hand killed them!"

"I knew. But it's not because of your wishes. You must have struggled to wake up at that time"

"You don't understand! They will hate me even more, what kind of king am I!" Irritated shouting.

"If you explain it to them"

"You think they'll believe it?! Know it? Why does everyone hate me?! Since I killed the king earlier, I killed my own father!!" Shouted the Gulf, Mew fell silent he was surprised and only found out about this.

"Why a monster like me should be born" Gulf said softly. Mew clasped his hand tightly. Now is not the time to ask. All he had to do was calm the Gulf now.

"If you don't want to be a monster, you better practice controlling your strength" Apo said, who suddenly entered after hearing the Gulf's voice. Gulf stared.

"Finally you're conscious. Rest, even if you're a vampire, but you're also a human who needs rest. Don't think about anything else first. Tomorrow we talk and don't make a fuss" Apo said. Gulf looked at Mew, asking for an explanation.

"What he said was true. Let's sleep. There are many things to do tomorrow" Gulf said, lying down with Mew. His mind now had nowhere to go, he just stared at the ceiling of the room. Mew glanced at Gulf who was still not asleep, he tilted his body and hugged the Gulf. Gulf looked at Mew who closed his eyes. His existence slightly calmed him down now.

"Sleep" Gulf closed his eyes.

...****************...

Mew Gulf and Apo are gathering now. Gulf still seemed speechless with his blank look made Mew a little worried.

"Because he already knew I'd bring him back. I'll train him" Mew said.

"How does a human train a vampire?" Apo asked looking at Mew. Mew himself is still confused, he plans to enlist Mile's help as he brings Gulf back.

"I have to train him, let him be here. You can pick her up after a few months"

"But-"

"If you don't want to happen before, then you have to trust him to me" Apo said.

"Gulf" Call Mew grabbing Gulf's hand.

"He's right. Nobody wants me in the palace anyway" Gulf said.

"Whatchu mean? Bright is still waiting for you and your people too. Although now they don't know what's really going on, but they need your help" the Gulf fell silent and did not answer.

"Nick's? He's Mick's foster son"

"You're right. Gulf he's now in control of your kingdom, Weir's been working with him all along. Even the palace was used as a place to gather the people who would be killed and their blood would be squeezed for the vampires" Gulf clenched his hands. How could Weir relate to a vampire?

"Isn't it your job to kill vampire hunters?" Given what his people were thinking, the Gulf didn't want to care about them, but hearing Mew's explanation, his heart burned with annoyance.

"I knew. But for several days the hunters were not allowed to enter the kingdom. Now me, my partner and Bright are the ones to look for. I think Nick's starting to realize that some of his men are disappearing because me and Boat are killing some of them every day" Gulf fell silent.

"Phi, can you help me?" Ask Gulf.

"I can only help train you, but if I have to interfere in the affairs of the kingdom, I can't. I don't want to deal with the kingdom anymore" Apo said. All three silent.

"Gulf is your kingdom. You have to solve your own problems" Gulf stared at Apo. He soon began to rise, although he was still upset with himself. But he still loves his people.

"Train me phi" Apo nodded.

"You sure?" Ask Mew. Gulf picked up a paper and wrote two letters.

"Phi gave this to Bright. He'll know what to do" Mew exhaled.

"alright. Take care of yourself here I promise to visit often" Mew said, staring at the Gulf. He grabbed his cheek fusing his forehead with the Gulf. Apo was a little awkward looking at the two.

"Ekhem. We'd better not waste time" Apo said to his feet and left immediately. Mew looked at Gulf, a little unwilling for him to part back.

"I'm gone" Gulf looked at Mew's back who was getting further away.

"P'Mew wait!" Mew stopped and turned his body. Gulf seemed to be releasing something on his neck. He approached Mew and put a necklace around Mew's neck.

"Never take this necklace off. I think this necklace can protect you" Mew smiled happily.

"Forku?" Gulf looked nervous.

"No! Wherever possible, it was my mother's gift. I'm just lending it to you, you'll have to give it back later. So don't get rid of it" Mew tried to hold back his happy smile, he knew the Gulf were worrying about him now. He could not see the Gulf that looked so sweet at the moment.

"Go away" Gulf said, leaving Mew still at home to see him.

...****************...

Bright and Boat are still in hiding. Bright couldn't sleep at all.

"Sir, you'd better rest and treat your wounds" said Boat, seeing Bright who had been pacing back and forth.

"There's no time. I'm worried, why did Mr Mew take so long? Did something happen? Shouldn't we check it out?"

"Calm down. P'Mew is a strong hunter, nothing will happen"

The open door made the two of them immediately stand by with their swords, but when they saw the person who entered they immediately approached him.

"Which lord is your highness?" Ask Bright. Mew looked at Bright and invited him to sit down.

"In the meantime I can't bring her here. He'll train to control his powers"

"Where is he now?"

"He's safe with the vampire clan"

"What's? Vampire clan? What if they kill him?" Bright asked in panic.

"You forgot he's a vampire too? Take it easy with his uncle" Bright fell silent, almost forgetting the fact that the king was a vampire.

"He asked me to give this to you" Mew said. Bright immediately opened the letter given.

...****************...

Bright seemed to be getting ready by wearing his robe. There was not much for him to take with him, for he now had nothing. Only the medicine bag and sword he would bring along for the trip.

"I have to go now" Bright said after reading the letter from the Gulf.

"Where?" Ask Boat.

"I must go to Poompat kingdom. His Majesty asked me for help"

"But how? You know for yourself all the border gates are strictly guarded" Boat said. Bright almost forgot about it. Some plans immediately appeared in his head but also he had a risk if he had to ask for the help of his fellow soldiers.

"Why should I go there?" Ask Mew.

"Because the king there is a noble cousin. I have to ask them for help" Mew nodded.

"Oh yes I have to ask Mr. Pan for help. Maybe he can help me out"

"You sure?" Ask Mew.

"Yes. They were the ones who helped me get out of prison. I'll be there now" Bright rushed straight away.

"She doesn't even care about her injuries" Boat said seeing Bright's departure.

"Then what's next?" Ask Boat.

"If Bright gets out, we have to smuggle the hunters here" Mew said. Boat was a little surprised and worried. How could that thought directly cross his mind?

...****************...

Bright walked along the streets of the city to the residence of Mr. Pan. He saw people who still looked glum, like never before. His heart was turbulent looking at the scene before him at this moment. Arrive in front of Mr. Pan's residence. There were several guards, but he also headed for the secret path that had been pointed out.

...****************...

Bright entered the courtyard which was quite spacious, unlucky for him since there were now many warriors in the house, he could only wait. But before long, someone flashed in front of him and he swiftly pulled him and immediately smothered his mouth making him shocked.
