Girl Who Cried Wolf

The Benefactor

"That was Eunha screaming." Eunbi widened her eyes. She let go of Sowon and sprinted to the field.

"Stay here." Umji glanced at Sowon before she took off after Eunbi.

"No, don't leave me here alone! I can't defend myself!" Sowon tried to get her to stay but it was too late, Umji had already disappeared.

"Eunha?" Eunbi pushed the door open to get to the field.

"Eunbi, someone is hurt on the field!" Yerin ran to her side, she was evidently worried.

"Where? What happened?"

"It was so fast. I saw this guy then all the lights went out. I could hear Eunha screaming on the field, but I don't think she's the one that got hurt." Yerin explained as she lead Umji and Eunbi to the field.

Sowon hesitantly walked down the hall. This was the first time in a long time that she was scared to be left alone. She was too weak to fight off anyone right now. She turned around the corner. She could see liquid on the floor but she couldn't tell what it was.

She fished for her phone in her pocket and turned the flashlight on. She covered her mouth when she found blood slowly spreading out from underneath the classroom door. She opened the door only to reveal something more shocking, her sister laying on the floor with an axe sticking out of her chest.

"You're worth a lot of money, Kim Sojung." She turned around when she heard a voice. It didn't sound like a human voice. It sounded like a machine talking.

"Who are you?" Sowon flashed the light at him. She was surprised to see a man dressed in all black with a little machine attached to his arm and a hatchet in his other hand. She was confused when she saw that he had no mouth.

"I'm the benefactor." He raised his eyebrows.

"What the hell does that mean?"

"You see, you and all your friends are on a list and you each have a price. Do you know how much you're worth? 75 million, and your little alpha is 100 million. That's a lot of money." He said, tracing her body with the hatchet as she stood completely still.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's basically a dead pool. There are multiple people out hunting you guys to get money, but I decided I'd be the one to kill the two that are worth the most. You and Hwang Eunbi."

"You think you can beat me?"

"I think I can beat a human." He whispered into her ear, followed by a laugh.

"I'm not a full human yet." Sowon kicked his knee in and quickly turned around.

"You really thought you could beat me?" He tilted his head as he held Sowon's arm in the air. She wasn't strong enough to fight a skilled assassin.

"I have money, you can take as much as you want, just leave my friends alone." She hated having to beg, it hurt her pride, but she would do anything for her friends.

"It's a bit too late for that. You already lost two people tonight." He looked down at her sister.

"Who else did you kill?" Sowon felt her heart begin to race.

"Don't worry, your little Eunha is fine. She isn't worth my time. She's the cheapest one on the list, only 5 million. No one wants your weak little beta."

"She's not weak."

"I know about your little beta. I know she didn't get those blue eyes by herself. I know your secret."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"I know what you did...I know what you did to help Eunha get those blue eyes."
