.:Part 4:.
It's already past noon and the sun was starting to set down slowly behind the mountains.
The two brothers keep walking on, not thinking about resting even though their legs are all tired out. They've gone through many trees, bushes, rivers and lakes along with a lot of wild creatures and so on, but they only focus on the way ahead and following the map, leaving all the surroundings out of their minds...
As time passed on, the young blue-haired boy, who's physically the weakest out of the three brothers, was starting to feel like he can't continue to move on. Quill noticed his brother's weak and small panting breath as they were walking, he knows his younger brother has been exhausted by now, worrying that Will could have fainted out here in the middle of the forest, he let out a small sigh
"Alright, we should take a break for now. You seem very tired, Will."
"W-what?... N-No, I'm fine, just a l-little bit tired, I still c-can move..." Will stuttered, he is exhausted right now, but he knows nothing is more important than finding Liam, but of course, nothing is more important to Quill than taking care of his brothers, the green haired man smiles meekly, gently putting a hand on Will's shoulder
"C'mon, we had a long trip and we still haven't gone through half of it. It's getting late soon, let's camp here for tonight, we can stay inside the ruins over there."
Will knows he can't argue with his elder brother once he has made up his mind, so he just nods then following Quill to the ruins not far from where they're standing. Once they've arrived, the green haired man tries to find a good spot for him and his brother to settle down, the place was surrounded by many dried twigs with no leaves which were perfect for them to use for making camp-fires. By the time Quill has set the fire, the moon has replaced the sun, bringing the night down along with the shimmering stars above the sky.
Will taking 2 canned soup out from his bag and handed one to his brother with a brief smile
"I d-don't bring much, unfortunately... w-we're out of canned food at home a-as well... but I hope we s-still have enough for the f-following days though..."
Quill took the canned soup his brother gave him and put it back into Will's bag, he just smiles upon seeing his brother's confused face
"You keep it for the following days, I have brought some slices of bread along with me when we got packed." Quill opens his bag to take the sliced bread out.
"B-but aren't you g-gonna be hungry?" Will asked with a concerned look on his face.
"Nah, I'll be just fine. Bon appétit!" The green haired quickly takes a bite of the bread before Will can change his mind and force Quill to eat the soup, that is something he would do, Quill knows that.

Quill sat quietly on the small log he took from before, lifted up his head to look at the bright stars on the night sky. It's truly is a beautiful night outside in the forest, and cold too, but a certain bookworm doesn't even care to notice about the freezing wind that causes his body to shiver a little every time it blows through. The green haired man shifted his gaze down to his sleeping little brother beside him and let out a small sigh then look back at the fire in front of him.
"I hope Liam is still alright... from whatever that has happened to him and from what has taken him away."
He sighed again, it's hard to think of a reason why Liam has been taken away, the village has stayed in peace for as long as everyone knows, all the other people are starting to forget everything about what happened in the past of the village's history. Almost everyone doesn't believe that's there are such things as living vampires anymore. Quill letting his thoughts wandering in silence. He hasn't thought about going to rest through the night, the forest still keeps its mysterious danger around, hidden within their surroundings, and so Quill chose to stay up, guarding for his brother's deep slumber. He has lost a brother, he can't lose another one and vowed to himself that he'll have to protect Will for as long as he can...
***
In the evening of the 3rd night, a sudden rain started pouring down into the forest, bringing loud thunder and lightning along with it. It was indeed unfortunate for the 2 brothers, now soaking in wet, running through the woods trying to find a shelter even though it was quite hopeless.
They keep on running and running, both are tired and wet, wished that the rain will go down a bit, and still, it even got bigger and heavier with the thunder. They have to find somewhere in the dark forest to stay out from the rain, using the light from the lightning to find their way, they kept running on their feet. Until... under the lightning, for a second they saw a house, or at least that's what they think and also hope that it is. Apparently, they run to that place. And another lightning, the brothers are now in front of a big door, Quill knocked, only to find no answer, he wonders if there's anyone who actually lives in this place and so he slowly opens the door for them to come in, if there is anyone who lives here, whoever the owner of this place is, let's just hope that they're kind enough to let them stay through a night.
The green haired gently closes the door behind him, this place is so much darker inside than they thought it would, and also very cold too, Quill starts to think that this is some sort of an old abandoned house. He starts to look after his younger brother in the dark room
"Will? Are you alright?"
And then, in the raining and loud thunder noises, he heard a small muffed screaming sound, pretty much was his brother's, being pulled far away from where he was standing, as a response.
And before Quill can shout out his brother's name once more, a cold sense runs down to his spine, making him sweats in fear. Quill wants to run, but he can't, his body starts to refuse to obey him, and so do his eyes. The green haired boy fell to the ground without knowing, he's losing his consciousness and his whole body was paralyzed, soon enough, the darkness has started to swallow everything...
