Heeey! I'm so sorry it's been so long but here is chapter two!
Without further ado, enjoy~
The walk home was a difficult journey, to say the least. It was pitch black all around him, with only the moonlight and his memory to guide him back to his apartment. Laying on the ground unconscious for five hours left his legs stiff and a heavy burden to carry with each step he took. The sigh he let out when he finally made it to his bedroom was thick with relief and exhaustion.
He allowed himself to drop face first onto the sheets of his mattress. The fabric was cold and soft which was a nice contrast to the stickiness of his skin. He could feel himself burning up. He thought he must be coming down with something, which would be a first for him as he never so much as caught a stomach bug before, nevermind a fever. But then again, it wasn't often that he would wake up to find himself lying in Paris' local park in the freezing cold of midnight.
Reluctantly, he pushed himself up from his cool sheets and made his way to the bathroom attached to his room, to wash his face. However when he turned on the light above his sink's mirror his attention immediately fell upon two large scabs on the side of his neck. They were parallel to each other and when he turned his head slightly to the left- he could see an identical pair, creating the perfect dent of a bite.
Kim didn't even take the time to wonder about what could have bitten him, he was too preoccupied from how horrific the it looked. Free flakes of skin remained around the wounds. The developing scars were black and stained around the edges was dry blood.
Without so much as thinking of tending to the wound, he went straight to his phone and -barely controlling the shake of his hands- he called Max
Max was beginning to wonder if staying up past midnight to play video games on a Monday was a good idea after all.
His laptop's screen had his eyes burning and he could feel himself growing more and more tired with every passing minute.
The lack of sleep would surely come back to bite him in the ass by morning and he always had the option of saving and continuing the game on a later date, when it wouldn't clash with his school work. But he couldn't help himself. 'The Raging Wolves' was his favourite game of all time and had only been updated that day.
His eyes didn't so much as waver for hours until he heard his phone vibrating against his work desk.
Reluctantly, he paused the game and answer it. When he checked the Collar ID he wasn't surprised to see Kim's name pop up. It wasn't unusual for Kim to have a sudden epiphany that he felt compared to share with Max late at night.
Stifling a yawn, he accepted the call and answered, "Hey Kim,"
The first thing he heard was Kim breathing heavily. "Max," his voice was hushed but still filled with panic, "I have a problem."
