10 KIM TAN

I was being lectured by Ryunjin since the past one hour to not get involved with the Devil Team. Its not like I wanted to but they get into my nerves quickly. After completing the first day of college successfully, I walked out to go home. Ryunjin left earlier while I was in library to collect some books. I could easily run out but not in the presence of these people making me frown on my own.

I kept my hands inside the shirt pocket and walked slowly looking around to gain more knowledge of the place. Seoul is too crowded for a lost vampire like me but thats what exactly I wanted. I wanted to control my thirst and prove to all that even a vampire can live a life like human. But definitely not without any training because I know my struggles just within a day.

I quickly reached my rented apartment and plopped on the bed. The whole scenerio in college flashed before my eyes once again like a movie. The worst way to start and all thanks to the Great Kim Devil Tan.

"Whatever it is, his blood is different from other humans. What is it that makes him different? I regret not listening to my dad while he tried to teach me about human blood."

Wasting a lot of my precious time overthinking on the things which was absolutely of no use to me, I decided to take a long lavish bath. Dragging my lazy ass out of bed, I ran to the attached bathroom in the flash of a lightening. I opened the shower and stayed under it for some good minutes overthinking again but this time, it was about my parents. I miss him a lot more than I thought.

It was around 8pm and my body needed to get some blood to calm down. I just have one option and that is hunting in the forest. I dressed up in all black making my body completely covered up just like a wasted man all tipsy. Perfect disguise. I locked the apartment and walked into the cold night. The place was too crowded and I wanted to enjoy the night like a normal human. Thats what I am exactly gonna do after killing my thirst.

It didnt take me much time to reach the forest without being caught by the police. I didnt know the forest road is sealed and under surveillence of police but Shea is the best snipper vampire XD. I kept talking to myself to kill the time that I hunt down something worth my power. Being the royal vampire, I wouldnt be satisfied with blood of small animals.

I spotted a tiger which was about a kilometer away with my so called sharp eyes. I held my breathe in deeply ready to bolt up to it before it realise my presence. The bushes and roots will definitely make it difficult for me to bolt without making any noise but then why is the tree there for? I climbed up a pine tree and started jumping to another in a zig zag pattern.

It was not full moon and thats a relief because the stupid wolves come out to haunt us down during full moon. The war that started thousands of years ago between Vampires and Werewolves is still going strong as ever. I stopped on the tree which was not much meters away from the tiger. I focused to see where it is going and I noticed the deer it was aiming at. I definitely dont want to see the deer getting hurt for nothing because anyways I am gonna feed on the tiger.

I didnt think much before jumping on the fierce animal. It was hard to gain a grip on it as it was drastically huge. It moved vigorously in my grip to shake me down but I bit on its neck hard causing the animal to jump a little. The blood finally reached my tastebuds and I bit deeper into the flesh while the animal scrached my legs with its sharp claws. As a vampire, I heal quick enough but the pain was a little more than usual.

"Stop fighting little cub." I growled punching the neck bite making the tiger leave a painful roar.

I strangled its forelegs and bit the lower neck once again making sure the fangs go deep in. I sucked the blood out in huge lumps, swallowing it into my system. The amount of relief and strength it gave was immesurable. I pulled the tiger to the big tree which was next to me and sat down slowly sipping in the hot red blood.

The deer that ran away earlier came back to peek from a far away tree and I smiled internally for saving its life. I threw away the heavy ass animal after I was full. I got up and walked north to wash myself up as I heard the sound of river. My whole self was a bloody mess and I needed a great bath once again to feel human.

I walked slowly trying to concentrate on the sound to figure the exact location of the water. There were some disturbances from behind as I could hear the sound of dry leaves being crushed. I assumed it was some animal as it is almost about midnight but the noise became a mess slowly.

"Help me....some one help me..." I could hear scream of a man not so far away.

"Fucking stop there or I will shoot you." I heard another loud growl of a man which was getting cut of by the cries of the earlier man.

"What the hell?" I told myself while running to the direction from where screams continued to echo.

"I am sorry, please forgive me."

"I gave you many chances but not anymore."

I heard the sounds getting closer and closer untill I noticed the black shadow near the river bank. I hid behind the bush and peeked out to see a tall man all dressed in black exactly like me holding out a gun. I looked around and saw a trembling figure who was crawling back and back.

"I have a family, please spare me from this." The man cried and I hate people feeling powerless but as I am not aware of the situation, I decided to stay in place.

"Everyone have family and you dont deserve to be with them, bastard." A deep voice echoed and a loud bang followed it.

I closed my eyes and mouth as a reflex but the deep voice I heard just before definitely belong to him. I can recognize his voice at any time of the day and night.

KIM TAN.
