- Readers POV -

After awakening from her deep slumber.The only thing she could hear in the darkness of the underground base were the faint sounds of water droplets landing on the ground and distant cars driving, as well as her own footsteps echoing throughout the space.

She recalled the last time she drank herself full. That was three months ago, before she was caught by the hunters, and it was the last time she was looking for blood.

And today her hunger for blood is on another level. It's extreme. But she knows she has to wait. Wait until it's midnight. Eunchae absolutely despises going out in broad daylight, the brightness outside, the headaches she gets and worse of all.. humans everywhere.

The only thing keeping her from literally killing or biting people is the pills she takes. One that stops her from craving blood, unless she really really needs blood and if she likes the smell of someone. And the other one that protects her from the sun. But Eunchae mostly stays inside. The other times she's out, she only goes out to buy stuff or just wander around the streets.

Blending in with the mortals was a piece of cake. She only stood out because of her eye color and fangs. Her crimson eye color and sharp fangs which could bite through almost anything. Eunchae wasn't like the other vampires. She was different. She did not suck her victims dry like other vampires would, nor did she kill them or really harm them.

But really, it depended on who the victim was, how they smelled, how they acted and how they looked. She went for young women. Usually in their 20s or teenagers by the age of 18. Cause she couldn't drink blood from older people or men. It was disgusting and their blood was bitter.. at least from her experience. Eunchae couldn't lie. She liked seeing people in pain, suffering and helplessly scream, but, even so she didn't hurt them real bad.

As a vampire, you couldn't hunt every single day. There were too many hunters. They'd either kill you, torture you or take you to labs and do experiments on you. Even so, there were only few vampires in the human world at daytime. Many hid in dark spaces or went back to their homes in the vampire kingdom. It's been a long time since she went back home. How long ago was it? 4 months ago? Or even a year?

Well she doesn't remember and she doesn't need to. The only person she wants to meet is her sister. But what Eunchae hates about not drinking blood for months, is that her eyes turn darker and I mean really dark, like this black color. They were darkening from the lack of blood. Most vampires could last without blood for only 6.4 minutes. Those weak vampires always needed blood, but Eunchae she could last without blood for a year.

She continued walking. And when she had reached far enough, one of the vampire bats came flying to her. Holding her arm out, it landed on it and told her something. Eunchae smirked. "It's time." She whispered lowly before the vampire bat flew off. Leaving her there.

"It's already midnight!?" Yunjin exclaimed. "Just noticed that?" Chaewon asked. "That means.. We have school in 8 hours..!" Garam pouts sulking. "I just wanna sit back and relax for once!" The American frowned. 4 best friends having a regular sleepover which usually lasted till 10pm, but today.. Yeah..

"I'm craving some ice cream.. Do you have ice cream Kkura unnie?" Chaewon wondered. "I'll check..!" Garam stood up and went to the kitchen, opening the refrigerator. "There's no ice cream unnie!" She yelled. "I'm kinda craving ice cream too.." Kkura mumbled. "Garam-ah. Why don't you go out and buy some ice cream?" Sakura suggested.

"Me?" Garam points to herself blinking a few times. "No the one behind you.. Yes you obviously!" Yunjin rolls her eyes. "Okay, I'll go." The youngest shrugs, off to the door and putting her shoes on and a jacket.

She shivers slightly as the cold night breeze hits her. The moon is visible, but it is obscured by a few white clouds of smoke. The moon is full. Garam raises her head, still walking. Hands in her pockets. It's quiet, and it calms her down a little aside from the thoughts raising in her mind. Bad thoughts. One thing she hates about walking alone in the middle of the night is that you keep feeling like someone's walking after you and holding you captive.

She's not strong either and can barely even stand her own little brother who's 4 years old. But she's going out only to buy ice cream. That's it. She's not supposed to feel anxious or scared. None of those feelings should be felt if you're just going to buy ice cream.

But who could blame her? It's 12:13, she's a 18 year old girl who's pretty, attractive and has a captivating and beautiful look which could attract literally anyone and anything. One thing kidnappers looked for were women. Women who appear weak and frightened, just like Garam was.

But the feeling of being held captive didn't leave her mind like at all. And she felt something or rather.. someone so strong and fast pin her. And then a excruciating pain which soon turned into a pleasant feeling of pain.

She screamed.


















































- Eunchae's POV -

12 am. The full moon has appeared. It's late at night, and the streets are deserted. There was no sound. There was not a single soul. No, not even a mortal. I've been having difficulty. It should be simple to spot humans wandering around in the dark by themselves. Today, however, is quite difficult. Even when I sniff around, the only scent I pick up is the fresh air.

I hope someone comes by. My eyes are darkening way too much lately. It's not a good sign. I really need blood. Fresh, delicate, sweet blood. I can't just have any kind of blood. It needs to be delicate. And today I might even drink myself full. Only if I find something interesting.

I haven't had good blood in a long while.

I smelt something.. It's sweet. My eyes widened a little and I rushed to find out what it was. A girl. Her blood smells so sweet. I ran towards her, pinned her to the wall and sunk my teeth into the skin of her neck. I started drinking her blood, drinking it like it depended on my life.

When I was done. I stopped drinking and panted before looking at her. I noticed her unconscious, blood hurriedly dripping out from her neck with a red mark at the other side of her neck caused by the power of my grip.

I stopped and gulped, I've never killed a person before after sucking their blood. I panicked and started tapping her flushed red cheeks, I hesitated for a bit but I carried her in my arms looking around making sure nobody or no hunters saw me.

As I'm dragging this poor things body towards my underground base I still feel this hesitation. I feel like I've done something extremely wrong.
