L.

I had left my beautiful Jennie yesterday after our love-making before she woke up. God knows I wouldn't be able to leave if I met her sleepy, pleased eyes knowing I had been the one responsible for it all, and suffer anymore. I had only ran my hands over her warm, delicate body in adoration and longing, and pressed a lingering kiss on her lovely mouth before separating myself from the perfect entanglement our bodies had made. I left, I didn't want to. I didn't. I didn't. Yet, breathing in her homely, mouth-watering scent was omnious, lurking heavily on my very being.

Now I was stood, gripping the concrete walls of the outside of her apartment. My body is trembling, I have yet to register what I'm about to do.

I knock on her locked window, standing up straighter to hide the shake of my body.

"You left yesterday." Jennie says softly the moment she slides the window open. The peeking morning sun's rays bounce off her radiant skin.

I jump into her room, immediately overtaken by her overwhelming sweet scent.

"I needed a drink." I say with a lopsided grin, not bothering to hide the heavy husk in my voice.

Her face flashes with realization. She makes an 'oh' with her mouth, but no sound comes out. It must be weird to a human, I figure.

"I meant now." I say as her face twists with confusion.

She tilts her head, waiting for me to elaborate. God, she trusts me, I think as my chest rips itself apart inside my mind.

I slowly approach her, my eyes staying on hers. Jennie's eyes are still hazy with confusion as I press up against her and trap her wrists in my hold.

"Would you die for me, Jennie?" I ask in a dark whisper as her eyes widen. Her mouth moves wordlessly for a few seconds.

"Yes." She replies weakly, her green orbs trained on me.

My grip on her wrists tightens as I press her up against the wall. Jennie's emerald globes darken immensely, adrenaline surging through her irises.

"Then die." I say harshly, puncturing my fangs into her neck as she shrieks. Her hands try to escape my hold but she's too weak for a vampire like me.

I draw out blood from the holes I've made on her skin, my mind rushing in an overload of flavour I've craved since my first day as a vampire. The pleasure is anything but wanted. I fight the urge to rip my dead heart out and not feel because it's screaming in agony. Every gasp, every weak scream makes my heart clench tightly but I keep sucking.

I only pull my fangs out when she's weak enough to not be able to protest.

"You really thought a predator would consider your feelings, huh?" I ask, pushing through the painful lump in my throat.

Her eyes are teary and she miserably whimpers, her neck still bleeding.

"Look at me, Jennie. I want to see the betrayed look in your eyes." I grit my teeth, yanking her face up for her eyes to fixate on mine. "Look at you..." I coo and laugh evilly.

"W-why?" Jennie forces out in a whisper, a fresh batch of tears flowing down her cheek.

"You know...I thought I'd finish you off that day in the woods. Reason why I was in the woods in the first place. But fuck, Taehyung was there. I couldn't just go do a bro-handshake with Namjoon and ask him to share his meal, you, could I?" She hiccups. I can't keep her like this for long. "I got my first taste of you that time, when you were unconscious. God, you taste amazing." She sobs. "I could not kill you when you were on sight of the Pinks. Besides, it looked like a good idea at the time to just let you live. The sex was great, I have to admit. But I can't stop anymore. I'm growing impatient everyday, every second. You must have forgotten I came to Delmonde in the first place for blood. I'm doing what I came here for. Be sure to call me a sadist and not evil up there in heaven." I finish as I go to attack her neck but there's a loud slam.

I look back, the door to Jennie's room still in the air as it falls to the ground with a loud thud. Rosé's face is twisted in anger and shock as I clench my jaw.

"You fucker!" Rosé roars, her eyes glowing in yellow and I wait just long enough for her to grab me and rip the arm of my coat. I smack her face as she growls but I charge towards the window, falling down to the outside of the apartment. "Jennie!" I hear Rosé say before I take off running.








"It's done." I say as I enter the lounge, everyone's eye darting nervously around before settling on me.

"How's Jennie?" Kai asks timidly as I glare at him.

"As good as anyone can be having gotten their heart broken and almost killed." I spit out as he nods with a tight expression.

"Namjoon managed to break our mind-control chain. We're out of the school now. We weren't supposed to be there in the first place and now the authorities know." Jisoo says, her serious demeanor on as I smirk.

"Well, isn't it all falling into place perfectly?" I mock as she shakes her head at me.

"Sometimes you deviate from the better route, I hate it." Jisoo says and I glare at her.

"Jennie's safety is all I give a fuck about. Yes, that fuckface Namjoon is about to put something through my heart and dust me but it's much, much better than living without my Jennie. I've done it before and I don't want to do it again. Not now, not when I know for sure that I'm madly in love with her. She can't die or turn into a vampire, I've been through that as well, it's not..." I struggle, "She deserves better...she deserves more. Just take her away. Away from Namjoon and the Blacks and just...let her live out her life. She'll get over it." I say dismissively.

Everyone looks at me anxiously and with shock of how I'm readily giving away my life, but I feel nothing. Not even the approaching darkness I'd felt before Somi had ended my human life. Maybe because my vampire life is death in itself. Nobody dies twice.

"You really won't tell me what to do, Jisoo?" I ask, clueless about anything I should do.

"You'll have to take them with you." She says, gesturing to everyone in the room. "I'll help Rosé take Jennie away but where you go is your call. But it's coming, either way. We won't be able to save you, Lisa-" I cut Jisoo off shortly.

"Don't dare say sorry again. You've said that too much the past few days and it changes nothing. And don't save me. Save Jennie. Or I'll come back from the clutches of vampire death."

"You will." Jisoo says almost immediately with an easy smile as I furrow my eyebrows. She only dwells on it for a short moment before announcing, "8.34am, it's time." All traces of a smile leaves her expression and I gulp, nodding.

"The woods." I say shortly.
