Episode 2

Levi’s POV

“Where’s Shara?” I asked when I entered the house.

Everyone shake their heads.

“Maybe she went somewhere else to play with anyone.” James’ boringly commented.

“Aissh! By the way what are you all doing?” I look around and they seemed to lax.

Again, no one answered me. These guys just shrugged.

“What’s the matter though?” Kil asked me.

Finally, there’s someone in this house who’s sensible enough to asked what’s going on.

“There has been a lot of victims these past few days. How many times I should tell you to avoid preying on humans?” I could not keep my calm. I know I should not be mad but its for our own safety.

“I have nothing to do about it,” said James. He turn his head back to the book he’s reading.

“Me either,” Cedric confirmed and even raise his both hands and shake them.

I look at Kil who’s now raising a brow.

“It must be your little sister. She knows nothing except causing such ruckus.” I look at James and thought he must be right.

But where I could find that brat?

“James--” I’m about to asked him somethings when he looked away.

“I told you, I don’t know anything. I just thought it must be her since she’s always playing around.” He coldly said.

James and Shara are on the same age. They used to be together most of the time but I’ve noticed that recently Shara is not home most of the time and James seemed irritated when talking about her.

As for Cedric, he’s younger than the rest of us or maybe not since we don’t know how old is Kil. Noone knows about Kil’s history. When we met, he’s already alone. Aside from the fact that he is also a vampire, we could not tell anything more about him.

We’re all born vampires. Our parents are vampires. They raised us to live just like ordinary humans. Though we’re used on feeding blood in a more decent way, sometimes we can’t deny the urges of sucking off blood from a living human.

Even as a vampires, there are still risks that we have to bear. Compared to other vampire races, we’re much weaker since we don’t fed on human blood. At least, not all the time.

Kil’s POV

Its been a few hours since Levi told us about the trouble caused by some stubborn vampires who can’t behave themselves and suck on human’s blood. He went oust to look for his sister, Shara.

Well I’m not the one to to tell though. I admit that I actually fed on human blood too but I don’t end up killing my victims.

I’m playing chess with Cedric when I felt a pang of pain in my ears. I could hear a very disgusting noise. Its so painful!

“Hey Kil! What’s wrong with you?” I tried to held my face up when Cedric asked me but I could not. I helplessly put my hands on my ears as the sound keeps on breaking my ear drums

“Ahhhhhhh!!!” I yelled in pain. Blood started to ooze out my ear and the noise is just getting louder.

“KIl? Kil!”

I could not hear anything they say. I could only see Cedric’s lips moving as if he’s telling me something.

I see James coming up as Cedric tried to pull me up.

A series of images shows up in my mind and it remind me of someone.

“S-save he-r.” I mumbled before I finally lose consciousness.

----few hours later

I woke up when I heard Cedric and Levi talking.

“We need to be certain first before doing anything else.” Cedric seriously said. They have not notice that I’m awake.

“You’re right. We should not be careless. I feel sorry about him.” Levi agreed. He realized I’m awake when he turn his head to my direction.

“I told you, you don’t have to feel sorry for me.” I feel annoyed by the idea that my friends think I’m pitiful because of my condition.

I’m an orphan with no family background. I hate thinking about it but that’s me. I’m no one.

I pursed my lips.

“I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant to say.” Levi tried to explain. I shake my head, there’s no sense talking about this now.

“It’s fine. Forget it.” I replied.

I lift my hand to touch my ear when Cedric speak.

“Kil, who is she?” I was confused for bit when I remember something important. I immediately pull myself up.

I need to check on her.

“Kil, wait! Where are you going?” I heard Levi asked but I don’t have much time to talk about it.

I didn’t waste my time.

Be safe until I get there…

Katherine’s POV

Ever since I woke up this morning, I could not move my body. I started to cry when I remembered what happened.

Did we do it? I move my head to my left side and my face turn pale on what I’m seeing. The used to be white sheets turned red.

I felt that there’s something missing but I could not point a finger on it. I waited for few more hours before I could finally move my whole body.

Though I’m still feeling weak, I tried to wash myself up and get changed. I’m not sure on how my clothes are still on me after what happened last night but I’m hoping that what happened were all just nightmare.

Fortunately, its Saturday and I don’t have to go to University. Besides, there’s no longer on going classes for graduating students. I’d have more time for myself after graduation.

I’m combing my hair when I felt a terrible pain drilling on my head. NO way! Will it be the same thing that happened to my nightmare I have last night?

I pursed my lips. This could not be real.

But as expected, everything went black.

- few hours later

I woke up for the second time today and I’m greeted by a familiar face. He smiled.

“How’s you sleep?” He asked.

Sleep? Tsk! How many times I fainted? I didn’t even sleep properly because of those nightmares.

“Did you have a sweet dream?” He added.

There’s something about this guy. Anyway why do guys keep on coming inside my room? I shake my head ‘no’. I have a hunch that these guys are not ordinary human.

I stare at the guy in front of me. He looked away after few seconds.

“Don’t look at me like that.” He said, coldly.

“I just wanted to check you.” He added and smiled again.

Check on me? I don’t even know him.

“W-what are you d-doing h-here?” I managed to asked. I can’t just stay silent forever. After what happened last night, I should be more careful.

“I’m checking on my property.” His voice became serious.

I was left dumbfounded.

He went closer and kiss me on my forehead.

“Be careful always, Katherine.” I heard him say before he vanish into thin air.

“I don’t know what’s going on now.”

Kil’s POV

She’s fine! I sigh in relief. I’m glad that she’s fine.

I didn’t go to her yet. I’ll take some time to look at her from afar, for now.

I need to go back and talk to Levi. I also have a lot of things to asked.

I’m about to leave when someone grabbed my arm.

“Was it you?” a guy with a tan skin asked. He’s obviously upset about something.

Is he a vampire too? I shake his hand off me.

I look at him blankly, trying to get into his mind.

“Leave her alone. She’smy property.” He sternly said.

“She?” I asked him. Is he referring to the same person? That woman?

“If you’re referring to her, then NO.FREAKING.WAY.”

He did not say anything. He glared at me and I glared back.

I saw him clenched his fist before his iris started to turn into a shade green.

A vampire with a pair of green eyes?

Since he’s about to pounce on me, I let my guard up as well. My eyes turn red as I gnash my fangs.

“This is not the right time. I’ll take her back when that time comes.” The guy said before disappearing in front of me.

“Teleportation?” I mumbled.

SHIT!

He pissed me good.

I need to go back now. I’ll go visit her again tonight. For now, I have to inquire about something to Levi and the others.

He should be home now after looking for Shara.

Levi’s POV

I went out to look for my sister but to no avail, I can’t find her. I’ve checked all the possible places where she could be at but she’s nowhere to find.

I went back to the house where we’re staying at and found a panicking Cedric and James.

“What’s the matter?” I asked as I walk towards them.

“Levi! Kil just fainted and his ear are bleeding!” He cried. Although he’s a vampire, he’s actually sensitive most of the time.

“Calm down Ced, where is he?” I asked as I pat his shoulder.

“He’s inside his room.” He answered and wipe off his tears.

He must be scared and thought that Kil might die.

I walk to Kil’s room and found him lying on his bed. His ears were bandage. It made me confused.

“How did he hurt his ears?” I asked again.

“He was playing Chess with Cedric when that happened.” James explained.

“I was in the kitchen, drinking wine,” he added.

I nod my head. If he’s playing Chess, there’s no way that he could hurt his ears.

“Well, if it helps you analyzed the situation, we wrap his ears since the bleeding won’t stop. It must be from the inside.” I look at Cedric who slumped himself on the couch.

“...and he said something before he got knocked out.” Cedric look at me seriously. I nod my head signaling him to continue.

“He said something like saving someone. A woman to be specific.”

I suddenly feel uneasy. Save someone? And its a woman? What exactly happened Kil?

As a vampire, we have different talents. The common fact about us is that we all need blood to live. As for talents and strength, it depends. Whether it was pass down from family generation aka genetically transmitted, it could also be acquired by one’s self.

“I’m going somewhere.” I went back to my senses when James spoke. He headed toward the door.

“Where are you going?” Cedric asked him.

He did not look back but answered, “I’ll look for Shara.”

I heave a sigh. He might be able to succeed on finding that bratty sister I got. He knows her well after all.

I look at Kil’s face. He looks bothered in his sleep. I took a seat on the other couch next to Cedric’s.

“I seriously don’t have any idea what happened either. When he mentioned about saving her, he did not say any names. Did he?” I started, trying to sort out the situation.

Cedric shake his head.

Would it be his memories? Kil do not remember much of his past. It must be someone related to him.

“It must be someone important to him. It will be a good thing if he recall his past.” I concluded. “We would be able to help him out if he remember something.”

“We need to be certain first before doing anything else.” Cedric suggested.

“You’re right. We should not be careless. I feel sorry about him.” I look back at Kil’s bed. He’s awake. Did he heard what we just talk about?

“I told you, you don’t have to feel sorry for me.” He said. Cedric look at me and then bowed his head.

“I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant to say.” I tried to explain but he shrug.

“It’s fine. Forget it,” he murmured

He touches his bandaged ears with a confuse look.

“Kil, who is she?” Cedric suddenly asked. He must be curious about it.

Kil’s facial expression changed from confused to worried. He immediately get up and run outside.

“Kil, wait! Where are you going?” I called him but he did not look back.

I look at Cedric who’s looking at me too.

“Maybe we should give him some time.” I said.
