Blood

Pt 7: Enlightenment

My legs are hurting me from running aimlessly and my breath is getting out of me, It was already 3 midnight and I can only hear the sounds of dogs barking or crickets humping. I am scared of what I saw more than scared of being here alone. How can I trust that I will be safe living with this people? are they even normal people? What with the transformation.... I tried to deceive myself by saying that it was all just a prank and maybe when I go back I will see them laughing on the floor.

True that many people will react differently towards my situation and many are brave, I may have fought with gangs or chased like several time but this time it's different I am dealing with people who are beyond my imagination beyond my power. It was very cold and I had my ripped shirt and jeans on me only with no money. I cried myself of what a miserable life I am living in.... I am tired and my eyes feel heavy and with no power to walk or ask for help.

''Suhwa, Are you alright? Just look at me!!'' a Familiar concerned voice I hear as I opened my eyes.

''Ken!! Is that you or ....?'' I remembered Ken's face when he was scary and I got scared more '' Please stay away from me'' I covered myself around my arms and knees as I tried to stay away.

''I know you're scared Suhwa but look at me.. look into my eyes and see! I am still the same Ken and I will never hurt you'' Ken look at me very deep into my eyes and I saw the old Ken that I used to know and love.

I jumped on him hugging him out of relief ''Thank you for coming back, Thank you Thank you'' I was holding to him tight finally feeling safe, ''Let's go back home they are all waiting for you Suhwa'' Ken helped me walk till the club where we reached and entered.

''Suhwa your so cold!! Are you okay'' Hyuk run towards me hugging me but I was still no confident about facing them.

'' I will prepare a hot soup for you.. The rest of you go back to sleep and we will arrange the place Tomorrow'' Hongbin ordered the rest while I stood quite just observing everyone but my eyes can't seem to spot N anywhere as well as Leo.

''We are very sorry, you should have not watched us with that form'' Hongbin apologized while heating the soup on the stove but my reaction was still blond as I don't know which questions should I ask first.

''Hmm we are semi mythical creatures like demons, but it's not like those stories that you see or read.. We are way different than all. Our job is protect the earth from Dark spirits that used to hunt people long time back but are gone now as what we think'' Hongbin went on explaining their existence that they were human long time ago but due to some unfortunate events that happened before that led them to be saved by demons and transformed as well.

'' many people throughout the ages had called us many names Like Devil, Demons or even Vampires but we just call our self's Blood for the reason that the demon in us only get triggered once it gets in contact with blood''

I was speechless with no words to convey, is this really happening!! Never in my life that I thought of me living with other people nerveless mythical creatures. My temperature was getting low and low and my brain is trying to process my over fear emotion.

Hongbin noticed my terrified look that I had and approached me very slowly.. '' Please don't come closer I don't know how will I react if you do'' I begged trying to push him away from me, I am not ready to accept what I am hearing.

''Don't be scared, we will never dare to lay fingers on you.. we are not evil creatures after all. And since you saw everything then it our job to keep you safe here'' Hongbin pat my head and I saw the Sincerity look on his eyes as he hugged me just to make me ease up on my fear '' Just drink this soup for now and get some rest and we will talk more tomorrow'' he placed a soft kiss on my forehead and left me in the kitchen alone.
