EP 7 Who Dunk was (a JD interlude)

News had gotten to Phi Boun's ears. At this point, they didn't even have to guess how news travel. Mondschein had to have planted someone within their clans. Boun had gotten rid of them before sending Prem over. Once again, it was P'Prem that walked through the Lertratkosum clan house door. P'Prem was too afraid of what Boun would do if he came and witnessed the damage on Dunk first hand. His temper is a lot harder to control whenever someone close to him gets hurt. Even Prem flinched when he saw Dunk in his condition. When P'Jimmy told him that Dunk had entered deep sleep, he clenched his fist. Prem was the water to Boun's fire but at this point, even he couldn't calm the fire within himself. Pond saw that fire in his eyes. He could see Prem taking deep breathes trying to calm himself down. 

"I know you didn't touch him, but you have to take precaution to avoid these circumstances. I've told you nong Dunk will take things to the extreme!" The usual calm and collected Prem shouted when they got to his office. 

"Do you remember the vampire by the code name Ludost?" Prem asked Pond out of a sudden. 

"Yeah, but he had disappeared centuries ago. Why are you bringing him up?" Pond's eyebrow furrowed in confusion.

"That was nong Dunk. Do you understand now, how extreme he can be?!" Pond's eyes widen. Pond fell into his seat. That crazed executioner that everyone feared was Dunk?  

Ludost was the vampire that the council seek when they wanted to clean up an unruly vampire within the community. Every vampire feared him, even the pure bloods because Ludost will go through all lengths to get the job done. Even if he was hanging by a thread, he will not let his prey go. He was nicknamed Ludost because of the crazed look in his eyes along with that eerie laughter that will haunt you into the night. But he had disappeared one day. Everyone thought he had finally gone too far and it had killed him. Apparently not... 

"But he disappeared. We all thought he died. What happened?" Pond couldn't help but be curious.

"Nong Joong happened. He managed to tame the Ludost within nong Dunk."

Flashback to when Dunk met Joong...
(A/N: This is in Joong and Dunk's perspective of how they met rather than Prem's)

Dunk had finally found his prey, they were toying with a vampire but that wasn't his concern. His mission was to kill them. Here he thought how hard would it be but all it took was two blows before he gorged their hearts out with his bare hands. He looked at the vampire that they had been toying with, he was weak from blood lost. He  would probably die a long and painful death since they were in a deserted place with no life form for him to feed. Dunk sighed before taking a blade out and slice his forearm.

"Drink." He commanded as he held his arm to his mouth, letting the scent of his blood guide him to feed since he was too weak. The vampire had sucked on his forearm greedily. 

"Stop." Dunk commands once again. He obeyed, licking the last drop of blood from his lips. Dunk can see the blood returning to his face and how his wounds were slowly beginning to heal. He was about to walk away before he stopped him,

"Wait! Thank you for saving me. I'm Joong by the way. What's your name?" Joong looked at him with those soulful eyes. 

"It's better if you don't know." Dunk said coldly before he left.

Dunk would always seek peace within the private garden of the Guntachai clan house once he's back from a mission. He needed time alone to quiet the bloodlust and he would spend time reminiscing his happy times with his brother. It was how he kept his memories alive and keeps himself sane. It was also a hope within him that he would be able to recognize him if he ever finds him.
