emotions

“Your eyes… I got to go!” -R

“Wait Reneva! I’m not like that!”  -T

“What do you mean you’re not like that! Your eyes just went all black! How can you explain that to me!” -R

He grabbed my hand and brought me to a big tree and sat me down.

“You see, before this. We were just ordinary and harmless but now, it became more affective than we thought. We can never change back to who we were before, we’re stuck like this for eternity.” -T

“What do you mean by we? Is there more of you… how many…” -R

“Including me there’s a total of 7. But I don’t think there’s only 7, we think there could be thousands all over the world. But we chose to hide.” -T

“Excuse me? Hide? Well that guy Jimin isn’t quite fond of the idea I suppose.” -R

“I wasn’t finished. Right now, you just said you seen my eyes turn black. I’ll explain everything to you on one condition.” -T

“What is it, it better be simple…” -R

He leaned close towards my face and stared into my eyes as his hands held my shoulder

“Don’t ever tell anyone or you’ll be punished” -T

“On second thought I don’t want to know at all! Bye!” -R

He began laughing. This is the first time I seen him laughed… he looks lovely.

“You actually take my word serious HAHAHAHAHA! Don’t worry lovely, I won’t do anything to you.” -T

“Alright. Then continue explaining to me.” -R
His face got more serious than before

“You said you saw Jimin, let me guess. His eyes were black and red, he looked like a psycho. Well a guy name Loki, he’s the guy that changed us. We were ordinary but very popular. Loki was always lonely, but I guess loneliness can turn into jealously. Then jealously into hatred, he kidnapped us one night. That night was never the same, he turned us into this. When we woke up, we were all hungry. I guess Loki’s plan backfired on him, we drained his life. Namjoon our leader, is the brains from us being exposed since then. We trust one another and we discovered many things we could do. Like our eyes, we noticed it tells our emotions. Black and red is when we’re angry. Red is when we’re hungry, white is when we’re sleepy or sad. Brown is for happiness, Normal is just for normal. Black, it’s whenever we look at a person with just one glance, and we know we have a strong connection. Once our eyes turn black, we fall in love with that person.” -T

I’m still trying to process my thoughts and my ears. Did I hear that right? Is he in love with me? A vampire who is very lovely, I can’t.
“So, what you’re saying is all true? Not only 7 of you but maybe thousands? Wow. That sounds so sad to be honest. When you notice your eyes changes in public, what do you do? When you’re hungry, what do you eat? When you’re sad, how do you overcome it? When you’re mad, are you still going to be harmless? When you’re sleepy, do you have bad dreams? When you’re happy, do you feel it at all? When you’re just normal, you don’t feel normal. Am I right?” -R

His eyes are white, he doesn’t look sleepy. So, he’s sad. Aww

“Finally. A human being like you that can understand. I was never asked those questions before. People would just say “Wow that’s cool”. I never found this cool. I feel like my freedom had vanished into thin air. I can never feel or hear my beating heart. I need to be on the down low. When in public, I wear shades and a hoodie. When I’m hungry, I force myself to eat human food. When I’m sad, I always talk and try not to think about it. When I’m sleepy, I can never sleep. No. When I’m happy, I don’t think I know what happiness is like. I want to be normal but I’m not. I just know that whenever I see you, I feel all of it at once.” -T

Hold up, I’m trying my best not to cry. No. I’m insane, I need to go to Chops.

“Listen Taehyung, about the black eye. Forget about it, that can never happen with us. I appreciate you telling me this, I need to go now.” -R

I ran, as fast as I could back to the gym. I made it. I seen Chops. She is practicing hard. I looked to the bleachers, it’s him. I notice his eyes are looking at one spot only. He’s looking at Chops. I hurried and sat beside him.
