TAO'S POV

I smiled happily. "Then you know it is futile to refuse me. Besides, we would be happy if we mated."

Venus nodded. "Okay. I want to wait to actually mate until we graduate from high school."

I hug her. "Of course. In fact, we will all wait."

I lean in to kiss her. Just as our lips are about to touch, Luhan runs into the kitchen and says, "Venus, come quick. Cherish has fainted."

Venus runs out of the room with Luhan following her. I take a steading breath and follow them out. I see everyone around Cherish. I go up to her and kneel beside Venus. "What's wrong with her?"

China looks at me and says, "She hasn't eaten much since Luhan told her not to speak to him. We couldn't do much for her. We were all starting to feel like this."

All the girls nod. I was surprised. "Why did you still plan to leave?"

The girls looked away. Venus sighed. "We didn't want to remind you guys that we were the ones who kidnapped you. We figured as long as you didn't know about our ... um ... condition, you wouldn't care."

Luhan asked, "Is there any way to save her?"

Venus nodded. "You have to do a blood exchange, and she has to start eating again."

Luhan nodded and used one of his nails to cut a line into one of his fingers. He dripped his blood into Cherish's mouth. I said, "Good. Now, bite her on the neck and take some of her blood too."

Luhan nodded and bent forward. He bit her neck and could feel her blood come rushing into his mouth. He only took a little bit and licked the wound close. Venus smiled and said, "Congradulations. You guys are now mates."

I look at all the guys. "We have to wait to mate until we all graduate from high school."

Everyone nods.
