Baekhyun sits in his bedroom as the sun begins to set. He watches the sky change from the beautiful robin's egg blue to the sunshine yellow to the bright ginger orange. His thirst burns in the back of his throat, making him painfully aware that he's waited too long before feeding so tonight he would quench that burning thirst. Someone was going to have a very unlucky night if they should be stupid enough to stay out past sundown.
    He picked up his black leather gloves sitting beside him and slid them over his pale hands. Taking a deep breath and walking towards the door, he adjusted his black leather jacket and left the room. His brother waited for him in the den, dressed in the same leather outfit. Their father sat on the blood-red sofa and looked up at them as they unlocked the door. He held a gold pocket watch on a chain, swigging it back in forth. "You have two hours. If you cause me any grief, I swear to god I'll kill you both."
    The brothers nodded and opened the door, disappearing in a cloud of thick black smoke for a night out on the town. Baekhyun looked at the sky and took a deep breath before nodding to his brother as they both broke into a run, running far faster than any human ever. Each one taking down a human, beginning to feed off of them. The feeling of the warm, copper tasting liquid sliding down their throats put them at ease as the burning they both experienced had slowly been put out. They looked at each other with blood on their lips as they dropped the humans to the ground.
    Without speaking to one another, they both went after their next victim. The same pattern continued as the night went on. Baekhyun looked up and locked eyes with a boy, about the same age as him. Something was off about this boy, he smelled like some kind of animal. Dog, maybe? His brother's head picked up and looked at the boy before telling Baekhyun to run through their mental connection.
    His brother broke off in a run, leaving what he had started. Baekhyun looked back at the boy who was walking straight towards him. He kept hearing his younger brother telling him to run away but he refused to run, he wanted to know more about this mysterious boy. The boy grabbed onto his neck, squeezing as hard as he could. His bones broke in the grip of the older but this didn't hurt him for he wasn't a human who it would've killed instantly. Baekhyun locked eyes with the other and blushed softly, noticing a warm feeling falling over him. 'No, it can't be. I'm not falling for him. He's a werewolf and I a vampire, I can't fall for him.' He thought to himself.
