You're a Monster | Chenji

XXVII

'Shut up, will you?'

'B-but father...'

'Will you ever stop complaining?!'

Yukhei clutched his stomach as he felt it grumble. He hadn't eaten for days now. His knees were starting to fail due to the starvation his father had forced him into.

'You deserved it. You lost against that mushroom last day.'

'I-i'm sorry father...'

'Sorry doesn't bring the money back.'

'I'll do better this time, I promise...'

Yukhei's father got up from the chair. He made Yukhei stand in front of him and threw a punch against his son. Yukhei landed on the floor, his body didn't react fast enough to avoid being hit.

'Yukhei. Get up.'

'I-I can't...'

'Get the fuck up!'

Just before his father could kick him in the stomach, Yukhei's forearm collided against his leg, stopping his foot from impacting on him. The younger grasped his father's ankle with one hand and kicked his knee, making him fall forward. He then used his other hand to grip the man's collar and spun them around, positioning himself on top. He was about to punch him in the face, but a harsh tug on his leash stopped him from doing so. When he wasn't 'working' he wore a leash for safety.

'Took you a while to react, Lucas. Now, go over there and this time make sure to win and make us proud.'

His mom opened the door for him and Lucas saw once again that familiar old looking and dirty place. The door of the other side opened and his opponent showed up.

Lucas smirked confidently. He spat on the floor a bit of blood from the previous impact and wiped his lip. He walked to the center of the local with a cocky smile.

He was completely sure he would win. Unlike Yukhei, he was invencible. There was no one who could stop his punches and no one who could match his speed when fighting. He was undeniably a skilled fighter. The problem was Yukhei. Yukhei wasn't as good as him. He lacked the craziness and braveness that made Lucas have this wild fighting style. He hated that Yukhei took control every time Lucas was about to go completely crazy, Yukhei was like a restraint, a restraint that made him lose numerous fights due to his compassion and empathy.

Weak.

His opponent was shorter than him. Kind of expectable, since he was really tall for his age. The referee introduced both of them: today's fight would be Lucas against Lino.

Lino was the first one to attack. He threw a punch straight to his face to distract him and raised his leg to kick him. However, his fast movements couldn't outsmart Lucas' reflexes.

Lucas took this opportunity to take a hold of Lino's leg as he avoided his fist. He raised it was high as he could and used it to push him backwards, making him fall on the floor.

In a millisecond he had placed his foot on top of Lino's stomach and was holding him down not to let him get up. Lino grasped his ankle as he breathed heavily, Lucas was way too fast for him.

Lino sighed in relief as he felt the foot being raised only to, seconds later, be kicked on the side.

Lucas laughed maniacally as he used his foot to turn the other around, making him lay on his stomach. He then sat on the other's lower back, with his knees trapping Lino's sides.

The taller's arm sneaked in front of Lino's neck. He held his hands together next to his opponent's ear and pressed his forearm against Lino's  throat, choking him while smirking like the devil he was.

Lino tried desperately to free himself, but it was no use. Lucas was in complete control.

The taller kept on depriving Lino of oxygen to breathe until he was sure his opponent was dizzy. Once the referee announced Lucas' victory he let Lino breathe.

Yukhei was aware of what Lucas wanted to do, they were in the same head after all. He tried taking control to prevent Lucas from doing that crazy thing.

Lucas felt Yukhei trying to stop him, but this time he was strong enough not to let him restrain him.

He fisted Lino's hair strands and pulled up, only to push his head down with all his strength, crushing Lino's skull in the process.

Everyone in the public gasped, as they saw blood starting to pool on the floor. The collision of Lino's face against the hard floor startled everyone, as they thought the fight was already over.

Lucas finally gave up and let Yukhei take over. Yukhei's hands trembled as he got up and exited the local running.

Fuck. Lucas, why'd you do that?

'Markie~ I'm thirsty~'

'Fine. I'll go get you some blood.'

Mark got up, leaving his boyfriend laying on his bed.

He opened the cabinet only to find out they were empty.

'Fuck... we ran out of blood.' He went back to his room. 'Baby, we'll have to go get some...'

'But my ass is still soree' Donghyuck whined childishly. It wasn't actually true and Mark knew it. The vampire was completely healed, he was just feeling lazy. 'Pweasee...'

Mark sighed at Donghyuck's puppy eyes.

He exited his house to go buy some blood. It didn't take long for him to reach the hospital. He knocked on the back door as always and waited until a human opened. He then exchanged the money for a couple of white recipients that contained the blood and headed home.

Yangyang was hiding not so far from the vampire. In fact, he could perfectly see his target.

Got you, Mark.
