It has almost been an hour since Kahei started reading. She was about to finish the fourth chapter of the book she's reading, when she heard screaming coming from outside the window.

The library has enormous windows which made it easier for Kahei to see what is happening outside. Her eyes focused on a woman running as fast as she could. She could not decipher what was happening because it looked like the woman was being chased by her husband – who looked nothing like a normal person.

Kahei kept observing the couple from afar. After what seemed like a few minutes, the woman tripped on a rock and her husband was able to catch her. Brows furrowed, Kahei was shocked when she saw the man bit her wife's neck. Blood poured out relentlessly from the woman's neck. Kahei's body moved faster than she anticipated as she tore her eyes off the couple and focused on something much more important than watching them – her safety.

"Mrs. Yoon!! Come and help me barricade the doors!!" Kahei went to the library's entrance and locked it. She then started to push some of the tables towards the door.

The baffled librarian soon joined Kahei in barricading the door. With all their might, they were able to barricade the door with tables and bookshelves.

The two were leaning towards a bookshelf, panting. "What's going on, dear?" Mrs. Yoon asked Kahei.

"I don't know. I saw this..." Kahei couldn't find her words to explain what's happening. "there's this...horrible thing that happened outside. A man bit his wife. I don't know if it's an abuse, an assault, all I know is that something is not right here."

"Why did you lock us in here, then? Shouldn't we go outside and ask for help?"

"We're not sure if there's more people like that out there. If we go out without knowing anything, we might get in trouble." Kahei answered.

Deep inside, Kahei was already panicking. She didn't exactly know what to do at this point. For the next seconds, she kept on thinking and thinking what would be her next move. That was until she saw her phone on top of her desk.

"Stay here. I just need to do something." Kahei left Mrs. Yoon as she went to get her phone.

She grabbed her phone and dialed her parents' number. The first person that she called was her dad. Each ring that she hears from the line made her anxious. Kahei sighed in relief when her dad picked up.

"Hello? Dad? Are you and mom okay? Something's happening here and I don't know what to do. A man bit her wife and blood star–"

"Calm down, sweetie. Your mom and I are fine. We already know what's happening and we're both worried about you. Did those people get you? Are you hurt? Where are you now?" Kahei can sense her father's worried tone.

"I...I'm fine. That person...I mean, those monsters are outside." Kahei couldn't dare to call those monsters like that man outside as a person anymore. "I'm at the library right now. We barricaded the entrance so they won't be able to get in."

"That's my girl. I knew you could think of something." Kahei's father smiled. "Alright Kahei, listen to me carefully. We're going to send someone to your location to pick you up. I hope you understand that it's too dangerous for your mom or I to go outside and pick you up. I can assure you that I'm going to send one of our best bodyguards to pick you up. For the meantime, please, try your best to keep safe. Don't let those people get you. If anything happens, don't hesitate to hurt them."

Hurt them? Wouldn't I become a monster too if I do that?

"What do you mean hurt them? Won't talking to them work?" Kahei was perplexed. Never in her life did she dare to hurt or kill someone.
