21. Let Go

🖤💜: 今 君の手を 離せるように
I gotta let you know 
That I need to let you go 
Hard to say goodbye でも逃げない
I'm ready to let go💜🖤

The rain wasn't stopping. Neither were her tears. 

Chugging down the suffocating whimpers, Sun jumped through the damp forest branches which was densely moistened because of the heavy rain pouring. The tear stains on her cheeks were undifferentiated from the cold water droplets falling on her face. Soothing, yet painful like a poisonous sting. 

Seconds were diverging into infinity. She went on and on; eyes on the front, not looking back for a single instance. She was incapable of facing what she left behind. 

The surroundings were pitch black and not a single source of light was there; even the fireflies that used to faintly illuminate the forest with life, seemed to have died with her hope. In every direction there was the same tenebrous canvas stretched - depthless, engulfing, profound - but that was nothing compared to what was imprinted in her mind.

Those greyscale orbs, soundless screams and the trembling fragile hands trying to reach her nonexistent warmth despite of the lethal betrayal trying to hold them back.....

She had to leave him behind.

Her roars of nerve splitting pain echoed through the lifeless forest as she sped up; tremendous anger fueling her heart that intended to finish off everything and everyone trying to come in the way of her happiness; his happiness.

But she made sure to promise him with her life.

The clan residence was nowhere near to what could be called a communal area anymore. Fire had engulfed most of the houses and the remainings were subsided by the rain; now decreased. People were fighting, tearing each others limbs off and went off to the lengths of showing the carnality of cannibalism.

Blood for blood it is. 

A body of a woman was laying on her right side, torn off from her torso area; who was still squirming around just for the sake of extreme willpower to live. Sun didn't even flinch when she took the whole picture in; and then snapping her head separate to liberate her from the misery. There will be so many encounters like these today and that's why she can't lose it. Not yet.

Besides, one thing was evident from what she found at the gooey substance leaking from the woman's torso. 

Wooden weapons were being used in this bloodbath. 

Hoseok had said he would be at the Northern border of the residence; fighting against the annoying smaller pests who are large in number but easier to eliminate. Yes, that's what she would like to call them. In a battle, where the two sides are determined to finish each other off; both think they are the righteous ones with a justifiable motive for all these ruckus. And this is what creates the vicious cycle of war, defeat, revenge and then again war - The whole point of warfare which has absolutely no point. 

Collateral damage has always been a part of the package so there is no need to mourn the loss of innocent or manipulated lives. 

Sun bent her body on the ground like a predator carnivore and her canines pierced out completely to its fullest length. She has always have longer that usual teeth, making it easier for her to feed and hunt with more precision than other vampires. Even in her fighting techniques she included its use; to attack, to defend, to protect.

But what is the point? She couldn't protect the one she loves....

The color of scorching magma effused her irises as she rushed towards the Northern border. To Hoseok.
