Make me fly again

Chapter 7: The Light in the Dark

Wait what? That can't be.
My face is full of shock.
Jimin chuckles. "Quit acting surprised. You're an Alpha, there's no way in hell you didn't know you're a vampire."
"I'm a what?"

He rolls his eyes. "Now you're just acting plain stupid. You're an Alpha. I wonder if Namjoon knew when he bought you."
I'm still sitting on Jimins bed not knowing what to think or do.
"Did you turn me into a vampire, Master?"

A chuckle. "Oh hell nah. If I had you would be a Gamma. You, my friend, have already been an Vampire. Since your birth to be precise."

I'm puzzled. "But...that's not possible. I've lived a normal live before I came here. I lived like a human. I am a human!"

A sigh leaves Jimins mouth as he sits down next to his desk looking at me.
"Are you sure about that? You struggle with a huge loss of memories and the memories that remained are blurry. How can you know that you lived a normal life?"

I wanted to reply. I wanted to tell him about my Life. About Hoseok and the great times we've had together. About everything. But he was right. I barely have any memories left and the ones that are left leave me in pain if I try to recall them.

How can I be sure that any of my memories are real?

"Does...does this mean I have to drink blood to survive? " Does this mean I've already drunken blood?
A nod from Jimin.
"And...I die if I go outside?"

Jimin stands up and walks towards the big curtain next to his bed to reveal the big window. The sun was just about to rise, a few streams of light already break through the clouds.

I squint my eyes because of the brightness.
"Not immediately. Vampires can handle a certain amount of sunlight. Depending on the rank, some can take more than others." He looks at me and smiles. I'm unsure what this smile means.

"You mean...ranks like Alpha or Gamma? You mentioned that earlier. What exactly does that mean?"
Jimin starts laughing and closes the curtain again. He walks to my room door and opens it.
"Enough talking for today. Get off my bed and out of my sight."

I hesitate for a moment. I think about asking again as I still want answers but I'm not sure what would happen if I ignore his command and I don't want to find out. I get up and rush into my room. Jimin slams the door shut behind me and I'm left alone with my thoughts. Again.

Did I only imagine my life as a human, my relationship with Hoseok?
All I know is that I've known him for a long time. He was also there before I sat in that cage. That was the moment I was sold wasn't it? "Sold to the man with the red eyes." that must've been Namjoon.
How did I even end up being sold?

I let out a sigh. It doesn't seem like I'll find the answers to my questions anytime soon.
I lay down on the bed and close my eyes, trying to sleep. But of course not without another painful flash of memories.

|| "Let's go watch the stars together, Hobi! We'll have a picnic at night. Maybe we'll see a shooting star!" I run around him like a child and he just gives me a loving smile.
"That sounds like a great idea, TaeTae. I'll grab a blanket and we're good to go."
I give him my infamous gummy smile and take his hand as we go outside.
We walk up the small hill near our apartment. We sit down under the blooming cherry tree and cuddle up in the blanket looking up at the stars.
It's a cold night in spring so our breath is visible in the air. I'm still holding Hoseoks hand. Now I'm resting my head on his shoulder and look up at the sky.
"The stars are so beautiful." I smile.
"Not as beautiful as you." I feel myself slightly blushing and look at him to see his smile that I love so much. Without saying anything I lean towards him and let my lips lightly brush over his. The kiss doesn't last long but it's full of emotions.
I rest my head back on his shoulder and look up at his side profile. He looks so pretty in the light of the full moon and the stars.
"Look, a shooting star! " He almost jumps in excitement and point to the sky. I look up and see a few more shooting stars rushing over. "Quick, make a wish, TaeTae! "
I chuckle happily "I wish this night would never end."||

And so it ended.
I'm still laying on my bed. I'm covered in sweat and tears. The pain in my head slowly disappears and I'm left with deep sorrow.

Was that a dream or am I just living the nightmare?
