Tang Yi strolled into the lunch room. Carefully he selected an apple and a sandwich and started to walk to the end of the room, out to the back. Student weren't allowed to leave the lunch room with food, but noone had ever dared to stop Tang Yi before.

He confidently strode down to the doors and was about to push it open when a young girl flew herself in front of him.

"Tang Yi, date me?" She squeaked, blushing and lowering her head as she stuck out a box of chocolates. Tang Yi didn't even blink as he carefully walked around her and opened the door to freedom. He could hear tons of girls screaming to each other, obviously disappointed. He snorted to himself. Yes the girl was pretty, but she didn't even smell half as appetizing or as desirable as the cute and  meddlesome Shao Fei.

Tang Yi sighed, trying to relieve the stress from the class before. Sitting next to Shao Fei had weakened his convictions to stay dry, and made him more vunerable and hypersensitive to other smells around him. He could smell the margarine in the chocolates and the raspberry scent in the girl's hair from the shampoo she has used two nights ago. All this sensory input overwhelmed him and he need to run. As quick as sound, he flashed away from the building, running.

Tang Yi wasn't always like this. He wasn't always a vampire. When he was born he was like everyone else, crying, kicking and breathing. He grew up as a human and knew human life very well. He had a warm bed and a loving mother who would cook his favorite foods and who would warm milk for him before bed. But at the tender young age of 6 his mother died. Tang Yi still missed his mother, he still remembers her sweet breath as she would rock him to sleep and the feel of her silky hair when she would lay him over her shoulder. Tang Yi was too small to understand how sick his mother was, how disease was crawling through her body, trying to take her life. He couldn't yet understand how his mother would never return to him and kiss him goodnight.

However he learn't this very fast. In the first icy winters alone he went around, door to door, begging for help. Kind neighbors gave him warm blankets and pillows and cold leftovers from the nights dinners. He learn't  not to trust anyone, not the kind man who would intice him into a dark room with a lollipop, not the women who wanted him to run her errands for free. He learn't to protect himself against the animals that would try bite him and steal his food and blankets. He had closed his young heart off to the world, only surviving for the now.

He remembers watching the other children going to and fro from school, pockets stuffed with candy and backpacks filled with fresh food, and he would sit on the corner, taunted and bullied, filled with hate and jealousy.

His body became tired from surviving. His body, weakened from years of harsh winters and suffocating summers; scraps of food shared with the mice, and bruises from rocks thrown at him whilst asleep, slowly began to fail him. At 14, he dropped lifeless in the corner of the road, his heart slowly beating to a stop.

That's how Tang GouDong found him. Tang GouDong was the leader of a pack of vampires travelling through the city. Upon finding the body they were delighted in with warm freshly flowing blood. Gnashing their fangs they nearly tore Tang Yi apart, stopping only when GouDong felt a faint heartbeat and commanded them to stop. It was too late to try save poor Tang Yi's bruised body but GouDong felt a connection to the child. Carrying him to his house he bit him, injecting him with venomous vampire poison. If Tang Yi could survive the next six months of transitioning he would be safe and healthy, newborn as a vampire. GouDong told his pack to go ahead, choosing instead to remain with Tang Yi and to father him.

When Tang Yi awoke six months later he was surprised with his new body. Slowly Tang GouDong taught him how to use his abilities, his sharp smell and sight, his speed and more. They trained together every day, bonding like father and son. He taught him how to cook, how to create delicious dishes and most importantly he became someone Tang Yi could let inside his frozen heart.

Tang GouDong insisted in Tang Yi mixing in with public life. At 16 he signed him up to school, tutoring him to help him catch up for lost time. Thankfully Tang Yi had a quick grasp of the topics. He encouraged Tang Yi to make friends, teaching him how to control and monitor his blood thirsty needs. They would practice desensitizing the smell of blood until Tang Yi no longer felt any attraction to it. When living in a city life amongst humans, it was important to master this urge.

Tang Yi was an eager learner and grateful to his vampire step-father he tried his best to listen and excell in everything he taught him. The only area Tang Yi struggled in was friends. He couldn't stand being around humans, and one in particular, Shao Fei.

Ever since the first day he joined highschool he knew Shao Fei would be trouble. Walking up towards to building he had smelt a strong scent that seemed to pull him in from around the neck and embrace him. He felt like he needed to track this human down and hunt him. On his first day he had blindly followed the smell leading to Shao Fei and if not for years of training he would of not have had the strength to run away quick enough.

Two years later and the smell didn't die down. Every day he could smell Shao Fei from miles away, as he drew near to school, he could hear him panting up the stairs, every day late, disrupting his concentration. He could hear his innocent and deadly giggles as he made his friends laugh by pulling a face. He could hear his heartbeat when he went past a cute girl in the hallway and Tang Yi would burn with jealousy.

After school he would run as fast as he could, drained mentally, physically and emotionally. He couldn't tell GouDong for fear of him changing his school and from fear of embarrassment.

No, even though Shao Fei was trouble, he needed him next to him, the one human he desired, the human that tormented him the most.

Tang Yi stopped running. He was in the outskirts of city, running through the forest. Filled with frustration he punched the tree, knocking it down to the ground.
