00:09Chaka!
00:10Let him go. Or else...
00:13Or else what, pray tell?
00:19Chaka!
00:24Why, Chris? What are you doing?
00:28Isn't it obvious? I'm saving you, Suha. From the vampires you so detest.
00:34I believed in you without condition. The only one to ever have done so.
00:39So don't you think you should believe in me, too?
00:44Oh, Suha. Have you forgotten whose fault my murder was?
00:49You're not the real Chris.
00:53Who in the world are you?
00:58Just who do you think?
03:34I see a vampire too.
03:36Keep your guards up.
04:22Hey, Suha!
04:24Are you right?
04:25Talk to me!
04:27Heli...
04:27I don't understand.
04:29That thing...
04:31That's not the same sweet Chris I grew up with.
04:33He was a gentle-hearted human boy,
04:36not a sadistic vampire!
04:39I'm sorry, Suha.
04:42I'm sorry, Suha.
04:43Forgive me for all that I am.
04:48You can run away from me tomorrow.
04:51But please,
04:52can you just run away with me tonight?
04:55Only until I can get you somewhere that's safe.
04:59Heli!
05:05Heli!
05:05Heli, no!
05:09Let go of me!
05:10You weren't really going to run away with them, were you?
05:15Don't you understand?
05:16I'm doing this for you, Suha.
05:19I'm doing this for you, Suha.
05:38I'm doing this for you, Suha.
06:15I'm doing this for you, Suha.
06:16Grrrr!
06:50Are those wolves?
06:52Suha!
06:54Khan!
07:02Solon!
07:06How many pests do I have to put down?
07:09Don't hurt them!
07:10Come for me if you dare, and I'll strike you beasts down the same as them.
07:15Look alive, guys! This one's no ordinary vampire!
07:18Bare those teeth wide and go for the throat!
07:26Ellie!
07:26Jon, we have to go.
07:33Worthless wretches.
07:34You still don't understand a thing that's happening, do you?
07:59To be continued...
08:01You okay? Can you walk?
08:06I'm alright.
08:14I'm sorry for lying to you.
08:17We just couldn't tell you.
08:19We've had to keep our identities a secret since we left the orphanage.
08:23Secrecy is second nature to us.
08:24But with you, it wasn't about self-preservation.
08:28Discovery's painful, but it wasn't the fear that scared us to silence.
08:32It was the thought of you hating us that we couldn't bear.
08:36I'm sorry, Suha.
08:40More than anything, I'm just confused.
08:43I know what I saw, but I still can't believe it.
08:49You said you grew up at the orphanage together, right?
08:52So, how did you even come to be vampires in the first place?
08:55Were you all bitten as children or something?
08:58We don't know.
09:05We've no memories of a time before.
09:08We've been this way as long as we can remember.
09:11The orphanage was a shelter in name alone.
09:14In reality, it was a prison to us.
09:17We were kept there under close watch.
09:20For many painful years, the confines of those walls constituted our whole world.
09:27I would give you answers if I had them, but my questions are as numerous as yours.
09:32We don't know if we were bitten or born this way.
09:36All we know for a fact is that we're not like the others.
09:40Neither Son nor Cross harm us.
09:42But if you don't have their traits, how do you even know you're vampires at all?
09:47You're different, but different doesn't automatically mean inhuman.
09:50I have abnormal powers, too.
09:53Maybe you're like me.
09:57Still, we thirst for blood.
10:01It sings to us with a ceaseless resonance.
10:04This ruby gore is all our bodies hunger for.
10:08Nothing else truly sates us.
10:10Even so, we only allow ourselves to slake this sanguine lust once a year.
10:15A twisted birthday present.
10:18We only drink the blood of recently deceased animals.
10:23We've never harmed anyone in hunger, and we've never once partaken of human blood.
10:29We swore to each other we wouldn't.
10:32It's true.
10:33Please, believe me.
10:38Now, I've no right to beg your belief.
10:41But I'll do everything I possibly can to convince you.
10:48Why, Li?
10:50Why did you come to save me?
10:51I said such hideous things to you.
10:55Because something inside me demanded it.
10:57I just feel compelled to protect you.
11:02Since the moment I first laid eyes on you, the scales fell away, and my destiny finally came into focus.
11:10Until then, I'd lived my life lost.
11:13No notion of who I was.
11:15No idea where I was going.
11:18But when I gazed into your eyes, I felt like I had found the answer.
11:24I was put here on this earth to protect you.
11:27To keep you safe.
11:28And so that is what I'm going to do.
11:40Heli.
11:43Do you want to bite my neck?
11:48No, I couldn't possibly...
11:59I trust you.
12:06I trust you.
12:33Are you okay, Sura?
12:36Yeah. Your lips gray so light I could barely feel them.
12:40Are you okay? You look flustered.
12:42Flustered is a word for it.
12:46Did you want to drink my blood?
12:50I won't lie to you and tell you that resisting just now was easy, because it wasn't.
12:55But I held back, because I desire your trust far more deeply.
12:59Even knowing my nature, you've chosen me.
13:02Traitor I am. I don't want to betray the precious faith you've given me ever again.
13:08I don't see you as a traitor, Peli.
13:13You had secrets, yes, but you've never betrayed me.
13:18Until this night, I've hated vampires with a grudge so poisonous it hurt.
13:23I thought the monsters who existed only to harm.
13:27But you, you've done nothing but keep me safe, rushing to my rescue whenever I was in trouble,
13:33filling my heart with such joy.
13:36How could I ever bring myself to hate you, vampire or not?
13:40Please forgive me for saying those awful things.
13:44You've been constant and true since the moment we first crossed paths.
13:48I'm glad we met, glad we got to know each other,
13:51and forevermore, I'll be glad to be your friend.
14:07Peli!
14:08Jacka? Is that you?
14:11Yeah.
14:12Mad chap just vanished.
14:14Are you and Suha all right?
14:15We're fine.
14:16And you guys?
14:17There's a few scrapes and bruises, but we're all in one piece.
14:20Thank goodness.
14:22We can start making our way over to you if you want.
14:24Though, I suppose Suha wouldn't much appreciate that, would she?
14:29Heli, tell him we'll meet up with them instead, okay?
14:34Suha!
14:34Khan!
14:36Hey, are you doing okay?
14:38I am, thanks to you.
14:40Your gallant intervention came in the nick of time.
14:43Are you guys all right?
14:44Hell yeah, no need to worry.
14:46We're a pretty durable bunch.
14:50Oh, good.
14:51Thank you for the help, sincerely.
14:54You don't need to thank us for anything.
14:57Sitting out's not our style.
14:59We don't turn tail and run when there's trouble.
15:01Yeah.
15:02Suha, you probably saw.
15:06But the four of us are werewolves.
15:12Wait, really?
15:14Really.
15:15You saw us in the fur back there, right?
15:17Sorry if we scared you.
15:23People fear what they don't understand and can hate those that are different.
15:27I guess we just thought you might not get why we were keeping the truth from you.
15:32But that doubt, it flew right out the window when we knew you were in danger.
15:36Saving your life is all that mattered.
15:41Khan.
15:49When I saw Suha get knocked down, I felt something I'd never felt before.
15:53A white heart burning rage.
15:56Before I knew it, I'd turned into a wolf and was charging towards him.
16:03I should have told you all this a long time ago, but I could just never find the words.
16:07I don't know who I am, nor even what.
16:10Your soul on you, Mug.
16:12A shock, aye.
16:13But it doesn't change a thing.
16:14You're one of us, and you always will be.
16:18My thoughts exactly.
16:20Well said.
16:22Since when did you become so eloquent?
16:24Wait a second, guys.
16:26Haven't we been slagging off werewolves for years?
16:28Like, to an egregious degree?
16:32Well, yeah.
16:33But I was trash-talking them all, too.
16:35Wait, don't you get, like, a massive surge of strength when you turn into a wolf?
16:39Oh, uh...
16:40What else can you do in that form?
16:42That coat's got to keep you well, Toasty.
16:44Can you run faster than Jaka?
16:45Oh, man, I've always wanted to ride on the back of a giant wolf.
16:48Yeah, same!
16:49So have I!
16:50Who hasn't?
16:51Me, Poker's like...
16:52You could finally ride him for a change.
16:54I mean, you have to try a way to find out.
17:00Suha!
17:01Heli!
17:12Jaka!
17:14Yan!
17:15Shion!
17:16Noah!
17:17Gino!
17:18And you too, Solon!
17:20All of you!
17:21Thank you so much!
17:25Solon!
17:30You exposed your secret to help me.
17:33You shouldn't have had to do that.
17:35I'm so sorry.
17:37Don't go reading too much into it, all right?
17:39That prat was just getting on my last nerve, it's all.
17:42Of course.
17:42I didn't mean to be presumptuous, but I still want to say it nonetheless.
17:47Sorry, Solon.
17:48And thank you.
17:54There's something very important I need you all to hear.
17:57I don't hate you.
17:59Vampires or not, you're the boys who chose to welcome me.
18:02Same with you guys.
18:03Werewolves or not, you also dared to look out for me.
18:10My whole life, I've had to hide who I was, concealing my own power.
18:15But you all accepted me for what I am without care or question.
18:19And it's meant the world to me.
18:22So if you'll let me, I'd love to consider you all my friends.
18:25Of course you can.
18:27For sure.
18:28We'd love to be friends.
18:30You're never getting rid of us, fair warning.
18:32Yeah.
18:36Enzi told me that you had some of our blood in you.
18:39If you ever have any questions, you know where to find us.
18:44With how stubborn Solon is, he's probably just as much mule as he is Wolves.
18:48Shut up.
18:53I just can't quite wrap my head around it.
18:56Who was that person?
18:57What did he want?
18:58And why'd he look so much like my childhood friend Chris?
19:02You mean he wasn't actually this old friend he claimed to be?
19:05Do we really have no idea who this vampire was?
19:07We don't, I'm afraid.
19:09Still though, he's on an entirely different level from any vampire we've faced before.
19:13You know, thinking back, he said something odd before he vanished into thin air.
19:18Something odd?
19:19Indeed.
19:21Worthless wretches.
19:22You still don't understand a thing that's happening, do you?
19:27Strange.
19:27Just what could that mean?
19:29That's not all.
19:30He also said something about us meeting the same fate once again.
19:35The way he was talking, you'd think this wasn't the first time he'd gone toe-to-toe with us.
19:39Maybe you guys do have history with him.
19:50We didn't want to say anything, but it's probably best you guys know.
19:53A lot of our friends have been going missing lately.
19:57Werewolves have always been targeted by vampires, that's nothing new.
20:01But lately it's gotten a hell of a lot worse.
20:04Our brothers have been off looking into it, but they seem to be turning up more questions than answers.
20:09And then, yesterday we lost all contact with them.
20:13You remember the girl from our school whose murder we were investigating that night in Desilis?
20:18She was actually one of our kindred, too.
20:21And I assume the culprit still hasn't been caught.
20:25We assumed, naturally, that the victim was attacked by a vampire because she was a werewolf.
20:30But now, I'm beginning to think that we were wrong.
20:34Because she looked just like Suha.
20:37So this killing was collateral damage in someone's attempt to track down Suha?
20:41Do you think the guy that attacked us is the one that killed your friend?
20:44It's a strong possibility.
20:47Given all that's happened today, you should be very careful, Suha.
20:52Look, I don't know for sure if the vampire that's targeting Suha has anything to do with the recent disappearances
20:57of our friends.
20:58But we'd better be on guard.
21:01We should have been.
21:07Sola.
21:08Hm?
21:11The sacrifice you made today kept Suha safe.
21:14Hm? Nonsense.
21:15It was our combined efforts that did it.
21:17That said, I do appreciate hearing you say that.
21:23I'm sorry.
21:24Huh?
21:25You had to bear that secret alone.
21:27I can't imagine how hard that was.
21:30Oh.
21:33It turned out in the end that telling everyone was no real bother.
21:36They just laughed it off like it was nothing.
21:38They did?
21:39The absolute goal?
21:41Right.
21:42Sounds like them, though.
21:43Yeah, I guess.
21:55Criminal love.
21:57Love.
21:59Love.
22:00Hours like minutes.
22:03Criminal love.
22:05Love.
22:07Hours like minutes.
22:10Time like a menace.
22:12Ain't the way to stop.
22:14Criminal love.
22:15God, this night takes just like woo.
22:19I'm fine.
22:22Oh.
22:23I'm sorry.
22:24I can't stop it I can't stop it I can't let you in
22:44I can't believe my voice
22:44I can't find a light like me
22:49You'll never forget me again
22:54You say goodnight, meet me next life
22:57But I'm lost tonight
23:01Got me like
23:02I've been out of time
23:04I'll be in a moment
23:06I'll never wait for you
23:10Come hands close
23:11Come in the love
23:13God this night tastes just like
23:16Ooh
23:33Next time, episode 8
