Y/N's POV
At times like these I really wish my mum and dad were alive. What my clan head had told me a year ago is still ringing in my ears and I can't seem to digest his words completely yet. It's been 2 years since I started experiencing these changes. I start feeling burning sensation when I go out in the sunlight and I crave for blood when I am near a human, and it seems to get worse day by day. FYI, I'm not a vampire. I am a hybrid, my mum was a human and my dad despite being a vampire fell in love with my mum, and miraculously here I am surviving as a hybrid or I thought so. As versed by my clan head, being a hybrid, at the age of 18 my body started triggering the initiation of transformation into a vampire. In order to keep living as a hybrid I need to drink blood from a person who carries my family mark. All this time, I have been desperately searching for anyone related to my family who carries our family mark but in vain. Until now I have lived my life as a human because I don't wanna live my entire life as a ripper, feeding on human blood but looks like I have no choice but to be the cause of my own death because I'd rather die than live my life as a predator feeding on the fears of humans. I need to find someone who carries my family mark asap. I don't have much time. Three months. That's all I have before I completely turn into a vampire or I'd say, take my own life before I start feeding on human blood.
Clouded by various thoughts which were more of grave concerns at this point of my life, I ended up at my usual place, the park where I come everytime to clear my head. I sat there on the swing for I don't know how long but when I was back to my senses it was almost dark. The street lights were lit up and I decided to head back to home. Suddenly I was creeped out noticing a group of guys who were staring at me seemingly in an indecent manner. I tried to ignore them and make my way back to home when suddenly a strong grip on my arms pulling me from behind stopped me. I turned around to look when I noticed it was one of the guys I had seen previously with some other guys. "What do you want?", I asked shrugging his hand off but they remained silent, their gazes seeming full of lust and they started coming close to me. Terrible uncomfort running through my body, I started to take steps behind and I turned around to run away but the other guys had already surrounded me. This was the probably moment when I had to reveal my form to save myself from these five hungry beasts. While I was fighting with my own thoughts, I realised a guy snake his arms around my waist trying to pull me closer and a mixed feeling of anger and disgust ran through my skin. I suddenly pulled my hands out reaching out to his throat, my anger making the dark veins under my eyes almost pop out which was the result of another feature of my vampire transformation when I craved blood. I was about to show my fangs and dig them onto his neck when my attention caught one of those guys who surrounded me being lifted up and thrown backwards and he lay there on the ground defeated. I immediately let go of the guy I caught by his throat and by now everyone took heed at the guy who grounded their gang member with one blow.
The guy stood there huffing and glaring angrily at those guys surrounding me. His gaze looked so endearing and ablaze at the same time as if they'd pierce your soul. The filthy minded guys ran towards him to attack him but to their dismay he was just too fast to dodge them. All this time I stared at that angel looking man with elongated eyes who just saved me from getting myself exposed. He formed his long slender fingers into a fist and hit a terrible blow on the nose of a guy and by the crack sound a smirk formed on rosy lips, meaning he was satisfied with that punch. But soon enough someone tried to get a hold of him by surrounding his arms over his chest. I saw him grit his teeth out of anger and a boxy curve form on his lips as he flipped the man over on the ground and hovered over him showering him with blows on his face. What astonished me was not the flip I saw right in front of my eyes but the mark on his waist when his shirt lift up a bit when he flipped the man over him. At this point all I could think of was the tiniest possibility of having a way out for my survival as a normal being. Even though it was a bit dark, the street lights and my partial vampire like abilities of having heightened senses helped me clearly see the mark which I have been searching all this time for.
It was a lot of hardwork trying to convince Taehyung, or as the tall slender guy had introduced himself as, to stay over the night at my house since he was adamant of not going to the hospital to get his wounds dressed no matter how much I insisted. I could figure out him facing some discomfort the way he was panting hard and saw his fingers trembling but I shrugged it off. For all I had in mind was the mark I had seen earlier on his waist.
"Make yourself at home", I say to Taehyung before I go to my bedroom to reach out for the first aid kit. I started cleaning his wounds when I started to feel his gaze upon me, the thought of which made my cheeks go all blushing as I have never been this close to a guy before. I looked up at him and realized our faces were just a few inches apart and my heart skipped a beat. I couldn't seem to move away as if my body had frozen at that moment. For the first time I noticed his beautiful angelic face from up close and noticed that his partial double eyelid which made his elongated eyes look more attractive. However I was suddenly brought back to reality when his phone rang. He gulped after he realised the situation we were in just now but soon attended his call while I went back to cleaning his wounds. He leaned back on the couch after he was done with the call and felt a sharp pain on his shoulder back and a painful moan left his lips. I realized he got deep scratch marks while fighting earlier. I asked him to undo his shirt for me to clean up his wounds. As he did, I couldn't help but admire his built body and his abs and his V line but stopped my sinful thoughts right there as I noticed my family mark on his waist and was reminded of the ray of hope I had gotten for my survival. While my thoughts debated, I continued to clean his wounds but a sudden intense feeling ran through my body and I started feeling my stomach growl out of hunger. I started to lose control over myself gradually and didn't take me long to figure out what was causing this. Blood. The strong smell of fresh blood. It was his wounds causing me to lose control over myself. I tightened my grip around his arms as I felt my veins pop out from under my eyes. At this point the vampire self in me started taking control over completely and my fangs popped out. I could feel the fear instilled in Taehyung's eyes which made me loosen my grip from his arms."Get away, fast!", I screamed at him. Getting a grasp of the opportunity, Taehyung ran away from me in his ***** torso form and the smell of blood faded away. I was brought back to my senses when I heard a sound of Taehyung fumbling on his steps and landing up on the floor. Fear was all I could see in his eyes. A feeling of guilt ran through my veins when I saw him panting and hyperventilating, his lips quivering and his hands shaking, giving him a tough time to stabilise and get up on his feet. I could not blame him, he had seen something so scary so up close, a monster. "Use the first aid kit to treat the wounds on your back. Stay over the night, have some rest. There are two rooms on your right if you walk straight through the hallway. You can use any one as you please." And with that I left without uttering a word further or turning my head back to him.
The rays of sunshine sat upon my face causing me to flinch and whine. I peeked slowly with one eye open to see streaks of sunlight fall on my face and light up the room, from the cracks of the curtains. I stretched out and sat up on the bed feeling lazy today but suddenly a flashback of yesterday's events made me jolt back on my feet. I freshened up quickly and made my way to the living room only to find Taehyung preparing toasts for breakfast. I was weirded out by change in his behaviour after what happened last night. I didn't expect him to stay all calm about it like nothing happened but a sense of relief ran down my body thinking he probably had managed to deal with it without getting too horrified. "How are you feeling? Did you dress your wounds today?" I ask as I felt him turn his sharp gaze to me.
TAEHYUNG'S POV
I could not stop panting hard after fumbling on my own steps. I was scared of getting hurt but what scared me more was the fact how y/n's face changed into a scary one in seconds. The scary veins popping up from under her eyes and the long fangs caused a sense of terrible fear in me. She looked like a monster. But soon enough she tells me to run away. As much as surprised I was, I didn't hesitate to grab the opportunity to run away from the beastly figure I had just encountered but much to my dismay I fumbled on my steps and fell. I couldn't grab a hold of myself as I was terribly shaking with fear from both falling and seeing what I had seen just now. But y/n was back to normal after I spared some distance between us. She told me to stay over the night. Despite being scared to death, My mind assured me that she wouldn't hurt me. After she left I made my way to one of the rooms she had directed me to earlier. I couldn't sleep. All I kept thinking of was what had happened today. For some reason I had this feeling there is something about Y/N that draws me towards her even if I am scared. When I was finally able to roughly collect my thoughts, the sun had risen up high. I freshened up myself and mad e some breakfast for both of us seeing Y/N hasn't woken up yet.
