"The king awaits, he's waiting for you."

Eunbi turned around, eyes squinted as soon as it landed on a certain masked woman. There were other vampires behind her, Eunbi estimated that they were 10 - 15 vampire males. It was obvious that they were all vampires, considering how their outfit looked. The masks also gave it all.

She didn't know where she got the courage to speak, but she did. "The king? There's no such king in this world. Who are you?" One question done. She still had so many questions to ask. Like what are they? Who's the king? What are they planning to do? Were they going to kidnap her?

Kidnap? Possibly not. Eunbi was sure they know her, from the reputation to her past. And that made her even more curious and angry.

"No, who are you?"

What the fuck did that mean? The question was like a bomb thrown at her that she stumbled back and froze. Now she know the reason why they were here. For her, all for her. Another main question is, what are they planning to do with her? Eunbi's furrowed brows became more evident.

"Hwang Eunbi," She answered as confident as she could. Of course, she didn't want to look like a coward. She's a Hwang, the surname carries everything. "I'm pretty sure you know me already, considering that your so-called King is waiting for me." She stopped. "Now who is he and what do you want?"

"Oh Hwang, you know him, and yes, we know you." Why was her voice sounds so annoyingly familiar? Eunbi was sure she heard it somewhere. Perhaps in the school? Impossible! Someone like her wouldn't get in! She's obviously an enemy and the guard won't let her in that easily. So who is she? Who the fuck are they? "And the reason we're here is for you,"

"For me?"

"Yes, you. We're here to let you know your past. Your true self." The woman stepped closer that made Eunbi's eyes widen and flames circle her. It was an instinct she learned to have whenever she could sense danger. Yes, she's in danger. She knew that all too well. The flames grew brighter which alarmed the other men, they all moved and brought their weapons out.

"I know who I am. I'm Hwang Eun-"

"No, you don't. You're not just Hwang Eunbi."

"I haven't even finished yet. I'm Hwang Eunbi, the Goddess of Fire and Underground World, one who can crush you to pieces," The bravery was showing, but deep inside, Eunbi couldn't deny that she was scared of what was coming next. "Now tell me everything. Who are you and what's your purpose here."

"Would you really like to know?"

Eunbi's red eyes glowed. "Do I have to repeat myself a hundred times?" She growled.

The men behind the woman stepped back and looked around. The ground started to shake and the forest grew hotter and hotter. Everyone was panicking and Eunbi was getting more focused but the woman's laugh broke it all.

What the fuck?

"You didn't have to get so worked up!" The masked woman laughed more and breathed on the hot air. "Now now, I know you're hungry," She brought out a transparent box with blue smokes inside. "Bon Appetite."
