CHAPTER 4: NEW BORN

Someone's POV

It's been an hour but I can't bear to see that child dying and managing his breath.

I can already hear the slow beating in his heart. But here I am still waiting for these creatures to move out. I am hoping for them to leave before he takes his last breath.

I can see them from the place where I've been trying to hide.

The boss tried to hold the boy, but he is not moving anymore.

"He's dying... let's go. I am not going to leave you breathless so you could still feel the pain and begged to die," The man said and laughed.

Everyone glides out the door like how they came in. Then they're all gone. In a split of a second, they're all gone.

I managed to get into the house without hesitation after I made sure that they're all gone.

I carried the boy to his bed and I can tell he's not going to live any longer.

I have to move quickly before it's too late.

If only I can bite him... that will be faster than this.

I took the 3 packs of blood inside my bag and prepared the boy for blood transfusion. I have to put three needles in his body. This is the fastest way for me to transfer my venom to his body, so he could live.

I waited three days in arrow before I was able to see the clue that his body responded to my blood.

His skin is turning to pale unblemished color, his bruises are fading. His limbs and muscles are now visible. I can hear cracks of his bones and ribs returning to their original places.

I smiled and waited.

Woo Bin's POV

Am I dead? I can't move my body.

The pain I've felt that day is slowly fading. I feel like a feather blown by the air... keeps on moving... it's so light... I feel so light.

Then I heard a voice calling my name. He was asking me to open my eyes.

I hesitated at first. I can still remember what happened that day, including the pain I've felt.

But then there is this force urging me to wake up and open my eyes. So I did.

I saw someone wearing a dark coat and a black hat, it was the man who came to my house at dusk. He was sitting on the chair next to me.

I immediately stood up and lift him with my right hand. I was a little flustered with what I did.

"Careful there, young man," he said.

"Who are you?" I asked him.

"As for now I am your creator," he answered without any hint of fear in his eyes.

"Put me down and we'll deal with your thirst first," he said casually.

As I heard the word "thirst" my throat aches, it's stinging.

Then the man went to the kitchen and hand me something in a mug.

"Drink it," he ordered.

I did what he says, the burning fades. But it's not enough... I want more.

I was able to finish 5 bags of blood on that same day.

We stayed 3 days inside the house until he decided to go out and get some more blood.

He asked me to stay inside my room and to avoid going out.

I waited. Three hours had passed since he went out. I can feel my thirst again. He left me with two bags but was able to finish it in one shot. I can feel the stinging sensation in my throat again.

Then there was a knock on the door...

"Woo Bin! Are you there?" he calls.

I can tell he's from the neighborhood.

I felt my thirst once more and it's stronger now. I could even hear his heartbeats.

Until I heard a creaking on the door, I guess he came in.

"Woo Bin, are you there? It's Myun Ju," he loudly says.

"M-Myun-Ju," I whispered as I covered my mouth with my hand.

"No, no, do not come in," I said in a low voice, not enough to be heard by him.

But I can hear his footsteps getting louder... getting nearer to where I was.

My hands are trembling as I felt something is growing inside my mouth. I had to touch it to know.

Fangs!

I can feel my fangs just came out. I am startled with what happened but I am now scared of what I might do with the person who came in, who is a friend of mine.

"No, no, please," I whispered.

My trembling hands that were on the wall made a noise, a creak on the wall.

Then he popped out his head in my bedroom door.

I jumped at him, grabbed him tightly, and bit him in the neck. I can still remember him but I can't focus. It's too late for me to back out. I can already taste his blood in my mouth.

I stopped when my thirst subsides as I look at his lifeless body in my arms.

What have I done?

That's when the door opened...

It was him, my creator. I can see his face shocked by what he sees.

"W- What have you done?" he asked.

"I- I don't know. I can't think of anything else except for my thirst," I answered crying

"I killed him. I killed my friend," I whispered sobbing.

I still can't believe what I did.

I saw him carried my friend's body and took it with him off the window.

He came back after a few minutes and cleaned up the blood streaks on the floor.

He went to my cabinet and took a bag, and throws it at me...

"Grab some clothes, we can't stay here," he commanded.

I can't think straight but to follow what he says. I am still confused about what I just did.

Once I'm done packing, he grabbed me and went fast to the forest.

We were running so fast that it would look like more of flying, I can't even see my feet touched the ground.
