Cian curiosity led him far away from the house, unknown to him Fergus' dad's went into the house to take Fergus home before the invasion. After walking for a while, Cian decided to head back home, on reaching there he saw the commotion and didn't go close, he saw Drustan coming out of the house with unconscious Sean in his arms. Cian watched all these in shock, the spot he stood gave him a clearer view of his house but they couldn't see him and everyone was all panicking to notice his scents.
Clint didn't see Clint nor his parents which only meant one thing, they were inside with whatever thing everyone was running from. The thought of his family being in grave danger made Cian panick, he felt his body temperature rise and suddenly the house was on fire, literal fire.
A piercing ringing sound hurt his ears, he cling to his ear in pain, soon the ringing stops. All sounds were replaced by muffled voices, it was like he became partially deaf. The witches tried to put off the fire but all their efforts were futile.
Cian tried to move closer but he couldn't move, he couldn't feel his body, he felt like his throat were tied when he tried to shout. No tear streamed down his eyes as he watched his house burn, suddenly he was grabbed by a man, the strange man ran far away from the house. Cian's body felt paralyzed like his own time stop while everything played out, he couldn't struggle in from the man's arm that wrapped around him or shout to alert anyone, he was just like a living corpse. A tear fell out of his eyes as the burning house disappeared to a distance, Clint sorrowful soul caused a storm which put off the fire, nothing was remained of the house only the that can't be burnt to ashes. The man carried Cian in his arms and opened a portal to the human world. During this period Cian had fallen asleep, the man made his way through the woods looking for a safe place to keep Cian. He stumbled on a car recycling center, the man couldn't leave Cian out in the open because it was raining heavily. Fortunately he saw a red car which doors where unlock and places Cian in the backseat then stuffs a paper into Cian's pants pocket, which read;
Don't come back. After that he left.

'Why isn't he waking up?' Clint asked
'He'll get back his memories but still, he's open to day danger, he has to be careful not to get lost in his memories unless...' Nadia voice trails off
'Unless what?' Asher asked, he was still outside the mansion
'He'll sleep forever' Sean replied instead. Sean needed Asher inside but Nadia refuse to invite him in ren at the risk of her comrade's life. Fortunately, Sean came across a spell for breaking barrier in one of his books but he needed a binding agent, the blood of a three major supernatural. Sean vamped towards Nadia snatching the knife she had previously used to cut her palm. Grabbing a bowl from the kitchen, he cut his palm and Clint's, giving him the binding agent he needed:
Sean's blood - Witch, Vampire
Clint's blood - Witch, werewolf.
Sean chanted a spell that breaks down all the spell in the house, even the one around Cian's body which surprised Sean, enabling Asher to enter the mansion. Nadia's confidence was trampled on by fear.
Suddenly Clint started shaking like an earthquake was happening under him, he soon lost his balance and fell on the ground.
'What is happening?!' Raymond panicked
'Cian' Clint was able to get out of his mouth before he became unconscious
'It's about time' Tyler snoffed
'What?' Raymond asked
'Their soul are linked together, Cian soul called on Clint soul, we just have to wait for them to wake up' Sean explained
'What's happening here?' a voice asked, they all turned to it's direction, Karin.
'What are you doing here?' Asher asked, he didn't want to put Cian's new "best friend" and his new friend in danger
'Shannon called me here, why are you here?' Karin asked back. She got her answer when she saw Clint and Cian lying unconsciously on the ground. Raymond filled her in on what happened, she rushed to her sister to inspect the bite which already turned purple and blue. Shannon had become feverish, she assisted her to her room and tucked her into two heavy blankets.
'You shouldn't have messed with Cian, you put your life in danger for what exactly?' Karin asked running her fingers through her hairs.
'You wouldn't understand' Shannon breath out trying not to shutter.
'Don't fall asleep, I will go ask for Asher's blood' Karin said and left the room.
'Asher, please' Karin begged for the nth time
'Karin, you are our friend but we're sorry, we can't, not until Cian wakes up' Sean said
'If Cian doesn't wake up in 24 hours, no 23 hours 31 minutes, your sister is gone' Raymond said with a sinister smile.
They all sat, waiting, the rising sun met them there. Tyler came back that morning, he wasn't fully surprised to see a full house, he had expected it. Asher easily dismissed Tyler's presence, he wasn't ready to have a glaring competition, not while Cian occupied his mind. Asher, Sean and Raymond didn't think of food, it was like their anxiety had filled them up.
'30 minutes more' Raymond said and Karin panicked
''My sister, no, no'' Karin thought and went to check on Shannon who was struggling to keep her eyes open as she became more pale.
Clint body became to stired awake, he coughed and his eyes peeled open, Raymond and Sean rushed to him while Asher went to check on Cian. 'What about Cian?' Raymond asked
'He's coming' Cian muttered tiredly. Cian gasped for air and began coughing, Asher wrapped his arms around him,
'You are safe now' Asher whispered into his ear.
Asher offered Karin his blood and she ran as fast as her legs could carry her without spilling the blood. She fed Shannon Asher's blood and slowly her color came back and the bite mark disappeared.
'I remember, Asher, Clint, Raymond, Sean' Cian said as tears ran down his eyes, 'It's okay' Asher said tightening his arms around him.
Sean opened the portal to their mansion for them to their mansion, while they passed through, Asher caught Tyler staring at Cian who he is carrying in a princess style. Tyler noticed he was caught in the act, he smiled at Asher before Asher disappeared through the portal.
Cian woke up the next the next morning, his room was bright, it hurt his eyelids making him want to find a dark spot to roll to. He remembered what happened the previous night and his eyes flunk open. Asher sat on the chair beside his bed sleeping. The creaking sound of the bed when Cian got out of bed woke Asher up.
'Good morning, did I wake you up?' Cian asked and Asher nodded.
Cian slipped into the bathroom spending hours in there crying, Asher had to threaten to break down the door before Cian came out of the bathroom. His eyes were red and swollen from bawling, 'I'm sorry' Cian muttered
'Aunt Valerie has arrived' Raymond announced.
