Nightcall [WenZhou]

15. Elite

"Why isn't he waking up?!" Wen Kexing panicked, "you told me I must wait until his body goes cold! It's been more than 12 hours! Why isn't he waking up?!" Wen Kexing shouted and cried and sobbed as he carried Zhou Zishu's cold body in his arms, walking around the house without knowing where to go.

"Master!" Gu Xiang cried along with him, "you must put him down!" She shook him, "we already contacted Da Wu and Jing Beiyuan! They will arrive soon..."

"I killed him!" Wen Kexing sobbed, "I killed him, A-Xiang! I killed him!" He adjusted Zhou Zishu in his arms and hugged him tighter as he sat back on the bed, "A-Xu," His shaky hands caressed his face, "you can't scare me like that..." Wen Kexing's tears dropped onto A-Xu's cheek, "you must wake up... I can't live without you!" He wept and embraced him tighter, rocking him back and forth, "you can't die... you can't die... you can't die..." He repeated the same sentence non-stop.

"Master...!" A-Xiang shouted in frustration, "you must calm down!"

"On my hands..." He whispered, "his blood..." He placed his forehead on A-Xu's as he continued to shake and cry and stutter, "on my hands..."

His blood is on your hands

His blood is on your hands

His blood is on your hands

"Wen Kexing!" Luo Yi finally spoke, "you must calm down until Da Wu and Jing Beiyuan arrive! And then we can know what to do!"

"I killed him!" He screamed at her, "It's all my fault... It's all my fault..." He swayed him back and forth, "A-Xu... My A-Xu... please wake up, please wake up." He closed his eyes and leaned against A-Xu's neck, "you must wake up... please wake up... I can't live without you..." He babbled, "A-Xu....!!" The cry of his name was so heart-wrenching that even Luo Yi winced.

"They're here!" Qianqiao called from downstairs but Wen Kexing didn't hear her.

"I shouldn't have agreed to this..." Wen Kexing spoke a coherent sentence, "it's all my fault... I should die instead of him... He doesn't deserve this... I'm so selfish... I don't deserve him..."

"Master!" A-Xiang helplessly tried to talk some sense into him, "Zhou ge wouldn't be happy if he heard you saying these things!"

"What's going on here?" Da Wu suddenly emerged in the room, followed by Jing Beiyuan. "Did you turn him?!"

"Please! I beg you!" Wen Kexing sobbed, "Please! Save him! I'll do anything!"

"I specifically told you not to turn him! He is a vampire slayer!" Da Wu reminded, "Why did you do it?!"

"Blaming him won't solve the problem," Luo Yi reasoned, "Do you know how to save him?"

"She's right." Jing Beiyuan said to Da Wu, "How long has it been?"

"Almost 14 hours." Luo Yi said. "It is not good..." she admitted.

"Put him down and step back." Da Wu instructed.

"NO!" Wen Kexing was going mad, "No..." He hugged him tighter.

"Do you want him to live or not?!" Da Wu was annoyed, "lay him down and step back!"

"Master..." A-Xiang grabbed his arm, "Master, listen to Da Wu..."

Wen Kexing glanced at everyone present and hesitantly laid A-Xu down on the bed, he brushed the hair away from his face and slowly stepped back, his gaze locked on him with every step he took. "Please..." He pleaded to Da Wu, "please save him... I'll do anything..."

Da Wu and Jing Beiyuan held hands and recited some spells that none of the other vampires recognized; they recited and paused to look at each other, then recited the same spell again. They glanced at Wen Kexing, both with a worried expression on their faces.
