The vampire and his serpent

Be Wise

Wei ying's POV
This room is completely dark . I can't see anything . My shoulder hurts. I must stop the blood . I already lost a lot of blood. I am wearing my night dress. So I tore the sleeve of uninjured arm and wrapped it tightly around my shoulder. My necks were having finger marks. I really can't blame that person. I was the one who caused trouble so I deserve punishment. But still I am innocent. I never intended to come to this place. Can't that king just leave me. I promise I will never come to this place again.
I don't know what will happen next. Will he come to kill me? Or as he said, is he going to torture me forever? It doesn't hurt much thinking that I will die at this place. But the thought that my parents will get hurt due to my sudden disappearance hurts me a lot. They have been protecting me from my childhood. I know they love me a lot. When they will know that I am missing , they will be broken. I am sorry mama and papa, I have been a disobedient child. If only I listened to you and not sneaked out of house it would have never happened.
'I know I made an unforgivable mistake, but mama , papa I still ask for forgiveness. Aying is sorry.
Thinking of my parents my tears couldn't stop.

'Wei ying, are you a fool! How can you give up so easily. Don't forget mama's teachings. She always said never give up. Be wise . ' I said to myself.
But what can I do in this situation. I can turn into snake form and escape from this room from the bottom of the door. But there are guards everywhere. They will definitely kill me as soon as they will spot me. Going outside means committing suicide. It is not a better idea. I can use poison but I will choose to die rather than hurt innocent.
Best thing for me right now is ,I should just stay in this room and try to rest and save my energy. If that person comes I will try to explain him what really happened. If he doesn't believes me then I will try to protect myself. I know I will never win against a king but I will rather die in a fight than to be at others mercy . I am creature. Every creature has right to live, so am I. I admit that I have made a mistake but that doesn't means that I will have to die for it. Everyone makes mistakes in their lives. I believe that
' being a criminal is wrong but being a victim is also wrong. '
I can't let myself be a victim . I will fight till my last breath.
With all these thoughts I tried to make myself strong.
I sat in lotus position and my back being supported by wall. I closed my eyes and tried to calm down.
After some time the door opened with a creaking sound. All my effort till now to calm myself vanished in a second. I immediately stood up in defence position will my both hands forming fists.
Then lights of the room lit up. My eyes hurt due to sudden light. I closed my eyes a few seconds and then opened it. I was expecting to see that person or guards but that was not what I saw. There stood a beautiful adorable girl with a bag in her hand which looked like a medical kit since it had red cross sign at front.

I felt that she will not hurt me but I can't be sure. So I stood in that position ready to attack any moment. Then she said ," don't be scared, no one will hurt you from now."
I  believed her. So I slowly stood in normal position. When I was completely relaxed she started to come towards me.
Then she smiled at me and said ," sit down ,let me treat your wounds".
I did as she said. But still I am scared. What if she hurts me. Mama was right," outside world is beautiful but dangerous ".
Then I felt sharp pain in my shoulder. I let out a soft scream.
I saw that she removed the cloth I tied. Then she  started cleaning my wound. I let her do whatever she wanted and sat obediently.
After 10minutes she was done dressing my wound.

Then she looked into my eyes gave an smile," don't be scared little brother ,I will protect you from now. You can call shijie. "
"Shijie" , I always wanted a sister. And today this unknown girl is caring for me and asking me call her sister. I can't describe what I am feeling but I am really happy. She is so pretty.

And she asked me," do you want to say something or ask anything ".
I nodded and said," do you really mean it?"

"What"

"I mean will you really be my sister".

"Of course! You are such a cute baby brother. Shijie will keep you safe, don't worry".
Then she hugged me lightly and after sometime I also hugged her back.
Tears fell from my eyes as my head was on her shoulder.
" Shijie please take me home . I don't want to be here . I want to go my parents."

"Okay. I will take you home okay don't cry anymore." She gently patted my head.

'Hmm.. 'I responded and tried my best to control tears.
Then she looked at me and asked me lay down and rest my head on her lap. I did as she said. I always love to sleep in my mother's lap. Close to her I feel protection and warmth.

I closed my eyes and drifted to deep sleep after sometime.
