Chapter 8: Alive

~5 years ago

Beomgyu woke up after a few hours, still inside the coffin. There was no oxygen in it but he didn't need that anyway.

He had no knowledge of how much time he had spent in this coffin. It was cold and he was missing his home.

Knowing he can't stay like this forever, he again started to hit the metal walls and screamed for help. His voice was week which made the villagers hear only mumbles.

This continued for a week and the villagers nearby were thinking that the demon, Beomgyu, was trying to get out in order to find his next victim.

As these rumors spread, 5 guards were assigned to check the coffin. They went in the middle of the night, without anyone noticing.

Beomgyu could hear people digging near him. He wasn't sure about what should he do.

He could act as if he was dead but than he will never get out of here and that wouldn't work because they already suspect him to be alive. He could try to run away but he haven't drunk or eaten aynthing for the past week. Even if he could run away as the coffin opens they would eventually catch him. He was too week to move properly. The best choise was to letting them take him, maybe there he could escape.

An unlocking sound came and they harshly opened the coffin. Getting contact with air again after being away from it for a long time Beomgyu immediately started to gasp for air as he looked at them, he was worn out.

The guards were scared as they saw the view in front of them. "What should we do?" one of them asked.

"We do what they told us to do. We will send him to the island." another one said as he tied Beomgyu's hands and feet.

The guard who tied him threw Beomgyu over his shoulder. He took two guys alongside to bring Beomgyu to the island, leaving the other two to fix the grave.

The tiger was half awake. He didn't clearly remember where did they go in order to bring Beomgyu to the island or how long it took. He was hungry and thirsty, he was about to pass out again.

He remembered the island thought. It was small, just big enough for the jail.
It didn't had any seaport for the ships. They had to get onto a wooden boat after they got closer.

He was getting dragged by his collar, he wasn't in a condition to walk. They made him sit on a chair, tied, in a room where everything was covered in blood.

The guys who brought him here were now waiting behind the door, guarding it and waiting for someone else.

Not after a while that someone else entered the room, locking the door as the got in. "Nice to see you, demon."

Beomgyu was glaring at the guy. He didn't want to interact with him, but he had no other choice.

"I'm not going to talk to you forever. Now just tell me. How did you survied? When did you guys get this strong!?" The guy was screaming at Beomgyu's face.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know how I survied either." He was lying but he had to for his parents.

The guy just smirked at him. "Oh really? Then how many other are out there like you? I'm sure you will know this."

"Only me." He gave out in a breath. He was know trying to kill that guy with his gaze.

"Only you? We both know your mom was a demon. And who was that other friend of you who would follow him everywhere and cling to him more than his own mother. I heard that he was asexual. Maybe his little evil spirit wanted to spend time with someone close to his kind." The guy said as he went to the wall with weapons attached on them, trying to find what he wants.

"He is just 15! He is still a kid! How can you be so sure! Don't you dare touch him!" Beomgyu was trying get of  from the chair as he shouted but the ropes were holding him. This was the first time he wanted Kai to be wrong about his sexuality.

The guy came back to him with a knife in his hand. He smirked smirked and stabbed Beomgyu on his stomach. What they were seeing schocked them both.

Beomgyu's blood was purple. Beomgyu was sure that it was red a few weeks ago. He remembered what his mother's friend used to say, that he should not have existed.

The guy pulled the knife, leaving nothing but a scar behind. He now, gave Beomgyu an evil smirk. "I hope you were lying about being the only one because if you were not then I can't say your 15 year old friend is going to have a pleasent future."

He opened the door and got out. Beomgyu could hear him talking to some of the guards that he wanted to keep him alive and he should be locked in this prison.

But what he had said before sent shivers down his spine. He hoped that his mother's speculations were wrong. Because only then he could be sure about him being able to protect Kai for a while, for a short amount of time.
