Athena, Rose, Leon, and Acheron sat around the dining room table eating breakfast, at least 3 of them were, one of them was just pretending to eat, for the food in front of her didn't exist.
Athena and Leon looked a little nervous, as once in a while the would glance at each other before taking a glance at Acheron.
It was already the second week living in London, and Acheron had yet to find a single clue on the Vamps' hideout. It seems the True Bloods have also disappeared from the streets.
The reason for their worry was that they couldn't tell how Acheron was feeling, his always smiling face was difficult to read. Acheron could be ready to massacre the entire city and they wouldn't be able to tell before it's too late.
"Umm… Lord Acheron?" Asked Rose with a slight tint of nervousness in her voice,
"Hm?... Yes Rose, what is it?" Acheron answered,
"It has been a week and we still have no leads… what are your…um.. plans?" Rose asked,
Acheron's smile grew wide,
"We still have no leads…. Isn't it exciting?!?"
Both Rose and Leon sighed in relief, it appeared the lack of leads made Acheron's mood better.
"As for my plans?... I'll continue with my patrols as I have been doing, I'm sure they will be getting hungry by now, and I will be there to capitalize on their mistake"
Athena quickly chimed in,
"Darling, it seems the reports of a giant white blur jumping from rooftop to rooftop and mysterious howls just before daybreak has caught the attention of MI0"

Acheron waved his hand in dismissal,
"They are harmless. I just hope they don't get in my way…. they tend to do that" Acheron said with a chuckle,
"Pardon me Dad, but your werewolf form…. How come you can use it when it's not even a full moon?" Asked Leon,
"Oh, about that!... Once a werewolf has evolved into their final phase they can transform anytime they want, but as far as I know only the Prime of their race has ever achieved it…. Not that it matters now, that guy is dead and so is the rest of his race"
"So, does that mean I could evolve my eyesight?" Leon asked excitedly,
"Yes and no Leon, some powers do not evolve and some just gain another ability instead of the same ability getting stronger," Acheron said,
"Take the werewolf, for example, an average werewolf would be no taller than 200 cm and can compete with the average vampire in terms of strength and heightened senses but my werewolf form is twice that, my muscles are stronger and so are my senses if you compare between the two"
"So, who would win between a final form werewolf and a final form vampire?" Asked Rose,
Acheron looked at Rose and gave a mysterious smile,
"Who knows!"
"Does a vampire even have a final form? Even if they did, will it be as strong as a werewolf? with its monstrous size and a bite that is extremely deadly to the pseudo-immortal vampires?" Asked Leon,
"Maybe~" Answered Acheron,
"What do you know?!" exclaimed Rose,
"It's obvious that vampires will be stronger!"
It appeared that Rose was on team Vampire and Leon on team Werewolf.
Just then, Athena interrupted before they could start quarreling like they usually did when they disagreed on something.
"In the end, it is only Darling that will come out victorious"
"…"
Rose and Leon looked at each other and nodded, they both agreed that in front of Acheron, everything is meaningless.
"Thank you for the compliment, Athena," Acheron said,
Athena gave a resplendent smile at Acheron,
"A wife should have 100% confidence in her husband"
*BAM*
Rose slammed her spoon on the table,
"Lord Acheron is not married to you, you ghost!" Rose exclaimed,
Leon just continued to eat his breakfast as he looked upon both Rose and Athena trading insults back and forth.
Suddenly, Acheron made a shocking declaration.
"Hey, Rose! Let's go on a date!"
*clink*
Leon's jaw and spoon both hit the table at Acheron's statement.
Rose's body slightly quivered, but her neutral expression didn't change.
"Is this going to be a stakeout to look for vampires, that kind of date, Lord Acheron?" Rose said, her voice a little more monotone than what she would like.
"No no, this is a date-date," Acheron said with a smile,
This time, Athena looked at Rose with a glare so intense that one would expect lasers to come out.
"O-oh… is that so?" Answered Rose,
Leon started to notice a slight twitch in the corner of her mouth,
'She can barely hold in her excitement! Her calm behavior is all just an illusion… Good for you little sis, I know you have been waiting for a chance, don't mess it up' Leon thought,
"Yeah, you have been a good girl all week and haven't left the base, I can't have my Rose stuck inside all day like a beautiful canary in a cage," Acheron said,
Rose stood up at lightning speed, her body was slightly shaking,
"M-M-May I be excused, Lord Acheron?... I-i-it seems I need to use the ladies' room"
"Sure, go ahead Rose," Acheron said,
Both Leon's and Athena's gaze never left Rose's back as she headed for her room down the hall.
The door slowly and calmly closed behind her before a muffled scream was heard.
"FUCK YESSSSS!!"
Leon chuckled at that, while Athena smiled but her smile never reached her eyes.
