"You live here?" I asked the "unidentified creature."
"Not for long" he answered as he guided me to the kitchen.
I wonder what's with him,but I don't feel like he's a bad guy.
"Curiosity satisfied?" From opening the fridge, he asked without turning his head back.
I was impressed by the modernization my eyes were seeing,especially his "fridge" that could keep liquid a liquid,blood a blood.
I crossed my arms and faced him.
"Honestly,no.You weren't answering any of my questions..." I watched him carefully.
"In time,Vnym.For now,let's have ourselves fed" he took one raw meat and chewed.
"Hey,that's not cook" I stressed the obvious.
"Hmmm.So?" his gaze met mine. There again,that feeling of him igniting something so unknown at the deepest corner of my immortality.
"I commend your foster parents for raising you well,Vnym.Why,you managed to live with the humans.You act like them,no one would think you're different.Aside from your kind,of course_"
"And you?" I was hoping I'd get an honest answer from him.
"You mean what I am?" his lips twitched.His smug reaction screamed my naivity.
I felt murderous.
What right does he have to appear out from nowhere and now,spreading virus to my system.
"This is not the world you should be..."he stood and wiped the blood oozed from his mouth.
I was speechless for few seconds.
"You talk as if you knew me too well.Like you have been watching me..."I said when I found my voice.
"You are my subject_"
That angered me more.
"Who are you,really?" I was at him again.Pressing him hard on the wall with my fingers on his neck.
"You're too agressive,my lady.I thought you're humans' protector? I_"
"And you're not human" I pushed him harder.
"And you?"
"Don't make me show you how dangerous I could become,creature" I hissed.Gone was my thought of him not being the bad guy.I squeezed.
"Tsk.Squeezed harder.That's my wound you are squeezing,remember?The moment my blood come out from there,I tell you,you might not able to stop yourself from turning into the kind of creature you have always been avoiding to become...Monster...But hey,aren't you that?" he smiled.
I knew he was trying my patience and I fell to his trap.I'm losing control of my temper.
"I am not a monster!I never was and I will never be!" I said,coldly and dangerously to his face.
His eyes became darker.
"Then stay away from them..."he hold my hand and remove my fingers from his flesh.
I hesitated.I strenghtened my grip yet my strength was no match to him.He succeeded pulling himself away from me. Determine to show him my anger, I clutched unto the zipper of his jacket before he could totally pulled out.
The zipper goes down leaving his chest naked to my eyes.
That took us both in a second of silence.Eyes both widely open.Mouth could not find the right words to say.
I just kept on staring on that particular thing that caught my attention.
That mark.
I saw that mark before.That mark I am seeing now on his chest.
"You" was the only word I could utter.
He smoldered at me.Reading me like water.
"You knew"after a minute of unnerving silence,he spoke.
That was not meant to question me.It's a statement confirming the depth of my innocence about the mark.
I did not answer.There was only one thing kept playing like a red tape on my mind.
I am with the mark.
The very person which was prophecied in the book of Ramata to kill me.
With that thought in mind,I looked at him.
