Only a Little Undead

Chapter 1

"Hey Leeknow I'm heading out, I'll be back in an hour." Jisung creaks on the boy's door, noticing him getting ready for bed.

"Why do you always go to the library so late? I don't want you getting hurt." The boy brushes his hair back, sighing.

"It's fine, Leeknow! I like the walks at night anyway. It's super refreshing, you should go with me sometime." Jisung smiles as he adjusts his beanie. Leeknow rolls his eyes, slapping his bunny sleeping mask over his eyes.

"I would if I didn't have an 8 AM class tomorrow," He adjusts his figure into his bed, ready to fall asleep.

"By the way, I'm taking care of a bunny from the science building. Poor little guy has a broken foot so I'm nursing him back to health. He'll be in my room cuz I don't know if you were ok with a pet in the dorms." He shuffles. Jisung gasps at the adorable caged rodent, as it squeaks back at the boy. He smiles back as he kneels back up.

"Goodnight Leeknow!" Jisung adjusts his backpack as he switches the light off, with Leeknow humming him goodnight.

The crisp cool air brushes against Jisung's face as he briskly walks over to the campus library that's usually open until 3 AM. Being an entertainment major seemed very easy, but all the random knowledge you'd need to learn really caught him off guard. Who needs to know what camera angles intrigue an audience the most??? Jisung exhales as he prepares for another studious night. The night walk is truly calm, with the only noises being the crisp trees swaying in the wind, and Jisung's footsteps along the pavement. As Jisung walks though, he can hear his footsteps echo as the streetlight under him flickers. He unknowingly stops in his tracks, trying to listen for the second pair of footsteps, ultimately hearing nothing. Shivers track up his body as he tries to brush off the event.

"It's late, you're just overthinking. You've been down this walkway countless times." Jisung mumbles to himself, trying to gain back his composure. As he began pacing again to the library, he could hear clicking onto the pavement from behind him.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!

Jisung's chest fills with dread as he doesn't even try to look behind him. He immediately starts mad dogging it to the library. Hell- anywhere where he can find someone else to stay with. His hot breath fills the freezing air as he desperately tries to get away from whatever the hell is trying to chase him down. The footsteps behind him inhumanely get faster as the poor boy tries to get away. Jisung notices the bright lights from the library building as he realizes he's so close to safety. Only a few more yards until he can finally calm down.

Snap!

Jisung stupidly trips over a large branch, spraining his ankle in the process. His cheek and hands throb from the scrapes on the dirty concrete. He slowly inches his head around, anticipating the worst.

But there was nothing.

Jisung winces at his injuries, as he attempts to pick himself up.

"What the hell was that???" Jisung pants. He tries to retrieve his backpack that flew off of him, until a cold, slender hand yank Jisung's locks. He feels hot breath blow onto his neck, and he winces from getting pulled by his hair.

"I'm sorry...but I'm so hungry..." A desperate voice mumbles into his ear behind him.

"P-Please stop! Don't hurt me!" Jisung cries, trying to claw the entity off of him, to no use. A pair of glistening fangs pierce into his neck, causing him to gasp from the pain. Jisung screams for help, calling out for someone, anyone. The figure covers the pleading cries of the boy by slapping his hand over his mouth, as he sucks the life out of him. Jisung's vision begins to fade. Is this what it feels like to die? Well, at least he won't have to worry about student loans. He really wanted to truly say goodbye to Leeknow, though. His parents too. Jisung can't help but hopelessly succumb to his unconsciousness, as the streetlight, alongside his vision, dim into abyssal darkness.
