Third Person's POV

-A warning again~
cw // blood , death

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jake woke up. Feeling his arms and feet tied and his mouth covered, he opened his eyes. He froze.

The vampire stared at him. The vampire who killed his parents.

"Finally you're awake! Your mate is about to go insane at this moment now."

He glared at him. His eyes saw a body on the corner. His heart skipped a beat.

"Oh. Where did you got that attitude?"

He looked at him, following his eyes, he laughed.

"That body? That's just some normal piece for my plan. She's also a nectarean. Like you. So you know what's going to happen next."

Jake gulped. He felt scared at that moment.

'Sunghoon. Help me.'

"Oh right. Let me remove that tape."

He stood up as he harshly pulled the tape on Jake's mouth. He hissed in pain.

"There. You're lovely aren't you?"

"Fuck you."

The vampire became serious. He pulled his chair closer to him. Pulling his hair, he spoke.

"What did you said?"

"I said fuck you."

"Oh really? What's gotten into you and you're suddenly brave huh?"

"You don't remember me?"

The vampire furrowed his eyebrows, he sat back on his seat.

"Why? Have we met before?"

Jake smirked.

"I was the kid that you spared. Seven years ago."

The vampire thinks. He snapped his fingers.

"Oh! So that's why you're lovely! You're THE lovely kid seven years ago!"

The vampire smiled while remembering, then he faced him, he became serious.

"I see you survived. What a pity."

Jake glared at him.

"Anyway. What's taking them so long? Your mate can't find you with such distance I remembered."

The vampire thinks.

"Ah right. I saw your cuts a while ago. Since your mate can't see you, why don't we deepen those?"

He spoke as he approached Jake.

"Don't come near me."

"I'm already doing it lovely."

Grabbing both of his hands that is tied, he exposed his wrists. Carefully grabbing the knife that he had on his pocket, he deepened Jake's cut.

The blood dripped on the floor.

"Sad I can't taste yours. I'm also a nectarean."

Jake trembled. He watched as the blood continued to flow.

"What's taking them so long—"

"JAKE!!!!"

The vampire looked behind, surprised when he saw a hand flying straight to his face. He dropped the knife.

"Don't touch him!"

"Sunghoon calm down!"

Sapphire shouted at him. Her eyes darting to the vampire on the floor, she stopped.

"E-Ethan?"

Ethan froze, hearing the familiar voice, he looked up. Smirking.

"O-oh? Sapphire. What a surprise!"

Sunghoon looked at the two.

"HE'S YOUR MATE?!"

'What's happening?'

Sunghoon didn't mind the two as he rushed to Jake.

"Hey baby."

Grabbing Jake's jacket on his side, he covered the cuts.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

He untied him. Assisting him, they stood up. He searched for Heeseung, figuring out that they're still not finished fighting with the other vampires in the entrance, he grabbed Jake.

"Let's go now."

"Where do you think you're going?"

The two stopped when they heard someone spoke from behind. Looking, they saw Ethan. Sapphire stood beside the two.

"Just let them go Ethan. Please. They deserve to be happy"

Ethan laughed at Sapphire.

"THEY DESERVE TO BE HAPPY AND WE DON'T?! YOU LEFT ME SAPPHIRE. YOU WATCHED ME DIE THAT TIME. AND NOW, YOU WANT THESE TWO TO BE HAPPY?! NO!"

"Ethan. Love. I'm still here. We can still be together. Don't be like this please. Enough already."

Sapphire pleaded. Ethan smirked. Tears forming in his eyes.

"No nectarean deserves to be happy."

"Don't act like Jake is the same with you. He's different."

Sunghoon spoke as he held Jake with him.

"Blah blah blah. He's going to die anyway."

He said as he raised a gun on his pocket. Before anybody could react, he pulled the trigger to Jake. Exactly on Jake's heart. He dropped in the floor.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

"I did what I had to—"

Before Ethan could even finish his statement, Sapphire stabbed him. Using the silver knife he had used a while ago.

"W-what."

"I already told you. Stop it. B-but you didn't listen to me."

"Sapphi—"

Ethan dropped on the floor as Sapphire's tears fell. She closed his eyes as she gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"You're already dead the moment you were gone to me. If this is the only way for them to be safe from you, then I'll let it be. I love you still."
