|Chapter Twelve|

    The sea breeze, and the salty droplets of the angry waves hit his face.

As he sat over the bridge fence, his feet dangling above the sea body,where waves ferociously crashed.

Souless,lost,desperate and lonely he felt, as he lost his whole family at once.

His mind was a wreck. He took a deep inhale from the cigarette between his fingers, then exhaled the smook while watching it disperse in front of his face,  wishing all his agony would just turn to smook and disperse too.

He let the cigarette butt fall to the sea, watching it burning out before it reaches the water surface.

He thought,shall he let his life burn out as well?

The idea was apealing to him..

Jonathan's POV.

The day has come when the necklaces were finally done,but it cost me few hair strands,alot of vampire power and a fair amound of my precious blood.

Emeralda exclaimed in excitement ;

"It's done finally!!I'm really happy!!"

I ran my fingers in my now shorter hair in grief while muttering ;

"I hope your magical pendants work, because I do not think I will keep you alive if it didn't, after cutting that much of my precious hair..."

"Aw,poor you! It will work! I am sure! "

Said Emeralda as she stared at the necklaces with love like it was her own precious baby.

Suddenly the door swung open revealing pale faced Joshua. He gasped while barely catching his breathe;

" Jonathan,I need your help!There is an emergency!"

_____________________________________________

Joshua's POV.

    That night, I woke up to the ringtone of my phone going off. I got up in panic searching for my phone when I found an unknown number on the screen. I picked up to hear a familiar voice on the other side of the line ;

"Joshua! This is Enreque! Have you seen Wonwoo lately!?The police found his Parents and baby brother all murdered in their appartment, and they think he did it!"

"They found a suicide note as well...am worried,Josh."

Added Enrique in a concerned tone.

I couldn't beleive what I just heard. Wonwoo was one of my close friend,he was a quiet high school kid whome I got to know when I was a senior high school student,Two years ago.

He used to spend alot of time in the school library where I worked in summer.

He obviously loved reading, that I would catch him smiling to himself while reading his favourite novels or just get very immersed in reading.

He would rarely talk about himself and his family. Yet I got to know that his family was always in dept, his mother was a housewife, his dad was an employee in some low rate company, and he was an only child at that time.

He almost had no friends at school, and because of his sharp features and hot temper, the other kids created so many rumors about him. Some claimed he was a member of a dangerous gang, some claimed he was a psycopath.

Yet he didn't seem abnormal to me, he was a calm guy who loved reading and books.

I got to know him more a month before graduating. He turned to be a really good person with great traits unlike what he was rumored to be.

There was noway he would murder his family. This can not be possible..

I thought.

I hung up with my friend,my mind was jammed with thoughts, Enrique said the police contacted him asking about his whereabouts and they suspected that he was hidding at one of his friends'.

Wonwoo didn't have friends except for me, Seungcheol and Enrique, that was what the police ignorant about.

He didn't go to Enrique's, also I do not think he went to my house, since we lost contact after I graduated.

I hurried outside, stumbling on my way to Jonathan's room. Something inside me was telling me he could be of help.

We took his car and drove around visiting the places he used to go. The city library, the park and the beach,that was where he always stayed when he would misteriously disappear but I'd usually find him, but that was two years ago. I am sure alot has changed.

Then the thought came to me;

"He might have gone to the abandoned bridge!"

I gasped.

"What's making you certain??"

Asked Seungcheol.

"That was one of his favourite places....Dangerous favourite places.."

I murmured as I bite my lips while praying we could arrive in time.

We arrived at the bridge, it was an old abandoned bridge, it used to connect this city with an island on the other side of the shore

We arrived at the entrance of the bridge then got off the car and sprinted inside searching for Wonwoo.

Like I expected he was sitting on the dented fence at the edge of the bridge. Swinging his legs while spacing out into the dark sky.

He didn't change at all, as if time didn't pass on his side, his slant sharp eyes and jet black hair, his cold features and pale skin, he looked paler than ever at that moment.

His sharp eyes were sunken with dark circles below it.

Our arrival alerted him. So, he turned his head to our direction facing us with a dazeled expression.

"Wonwoo! Would you get down please?"

I asked him softly.

He peered into my eyes then turned his face around again to go back to his star gazing, like he didn't hear me.

"Wonwoo, I know you would never kill your own family. "

I said as I aproached him slowly.

"What's making you so sure? I might have killed them,you would never know."

He said in an emotionless tone while getting up to stand upright over the fence.

"I'm very certain!"

"Please,get down,let's talk."

I begged.

"I'm sure you do not know me well,even if we have became friends for a short time, you would never know me that well."

He said in a heavy tone.

Did he take some drug??he lookes dazed.

"I just know you would never kill your family. And I also know that you should live so you can help the police find the murderer. "

I said in a bitter tune.

He fixed his eyes on the sea below his feet, his legs stumbled then he start falling off the fence into the sea.

I sprinted forward as I reached my hand trying to hold his arm.

A shadow suddenly passed by me which was Jonathan.

Everything happened so fast, I saw Jonathan reach far enough catching his arm but he fell too.

Why didn't he teleport??

Me and Seungcheol gasped when they fell head first inside the water and were drifted with the furious waves where we lost sight of them.
