Title: A Night to Remember

Setting: The path she always took on the way home seems eerily silence as if it could sense a danger lurking around.

Characters: Okuda Manami and Karma Akabane


It was pretty much dark even though they were already installed street lamp but if they didn't do consistent check-up, some of the light was dim and some even didn't light at all. Due to similar problem occurred despite calling the maintenance, only a few people chosen this path to head home and that include Okuda Manami, a student who is in the last year of high school.

She usually shuffled her way through the same path ever since she enrolled this school. Her friend has told her to choose another road to cross where she won't feel insecure and have people around to ask for help if anything happen but she insisted to use this path although she knew the dangerous lurking around.

Her grip on the book was firmer than usual as she held it against her chest. She already turned off her phone because of low battery thus, making it even harder to make a call. However, most importantly in here, she had a feeling that someone is watching her.

She glanced behind her, left, right and in front of her but no sign of other people aside her. The road felt empty like always. She paid attention to her surrounding but all she heard was sound of wind rustling and the leaves flew from the tree before hit the ground. She swallowed her fear and anxiety altogether and keeps walking but in much faster pace.

Why must at a time like this, there was no one around? Exactly, how late was she? Her class had finished around 9 so it's not midnight yet for the street to be this silence. This atmosphere is starting to suffocate her.

On her left are bushes, trees and sort of things. There were lamp streets lightening the street but one of the lamp streets seems not functional because it keeps blinking. For a second thought there, she saw a tall man wearing black attire from head to toe is watching her intently. Yet, when she blinked her eyes, there was no one standing there.

"It must be my imagination. Come on! Why does the path seems longer tonight?" Okuda mumbles coherently.

On her right were stranded buildings like an abandoned factory. Two or three of it have been left stranded and became a place for gang or teenagers vandalized or do some stuff. Around this time, she could hear sound of chuckling or swearing or even, smoke puffed on air due to whatever they smoke. However, she didn't hear any sound of that and she missed that at a time like these.

She swallowed her saliva again. Her hand is already shaking in fear. "Shit! What's with tonight?" She cursed.

It's been a usual path for her so why did she felt terrified all over the place? Her skin is trembling and she felt cold as like the breeze was blown on her way. There was no bad news she ever heard about this path so she thought it was safe. After all, she's been using this road for almost a year now. Thus, what's with the wavering feeling tingled around her heart?

A footsteps sound was heard behind her. A smile crept on her face almost immediately. 'Finally', she thought. She turned around; hoping the person could be her quick friend.

However, there was no one there except the sound of wind rustling.

A horror expression appeared on her face. "I'm pretty sure it was sound of footsteps. I'm not deaf yet." Okuda mumbles.

After making a quick decision, she continues walking without caring much of what happened behind her back. This must be her imagination, playing her innocence mind by the sound of footsteps or branch break. Yeah, everything happened because of her imagination. Isn't that what her friends always scold her about?

Her breathing changed rapidly as she seems can't breathe all of sudden. No, this is not happening; her thought said because she did heard sound of footsteps behind her. Almost matching her footsteps.

Okuda took a deep breath before started to run as fast as she can. She gripped her bag tightly; worried the contents inside would be spilled out. She didn't dare to look behind. Who knows a man with a mask and an axe is chasing her for fun?

Her lung is getting tired and she couldn't even breathe properly but she was afraid if she stops running, the man would catch her and slaughtered her on the spot. She would go missing for days until her parents decided to search for her. By the time they found her, she must already become a smelly corpse.

The sound of footsteps was matching hers, running in the same pace as her with sound of laugh along but eerily. She gulped and continues running. This is not happening to her!

When she reached the diverged road, she turned to her right and quickly hid behind the tall tree. She closed her mouth with her free hand and breathing through nose in case her spot would be exposed. She shouldn't be caught.

She is safe, right?

"Hiding already, little girl?" A husky voice came next to her right and was whispered right through her ear.

Her body turned solid and frozen. She couldn't make any sound or moving. It seems like both of her feet glued to the ground she was standing now.

"Can't talk? Has the cat got your tongue?" He purred.

Nothing came into her mind but hell, his voice was sexy and she already imagined how his face would look like. No, she shouldn't think about it. She must think a way to escape from this.

Before she could act, he pulled her arm and she fall right into his embrace. The only barrier between them was her hand. Surprisingly, she didn't hear any heartbeat despite her ear placed right on his chest. He dismissed her thought by pulling her chin to make her looked at him properly.

She felt awed. There is no word could described her feeling at the moment. There is no way this kind of man exists. He got a pair of mercury eyes which look very sharp while his lips are so small that seems suit for his face feature. Plus, his red hair shone by the moonlight caught her attention the most.

However, those pair of eyes seems even sharper every time she took a deep breath. They didn't even break any eye-contact despite how close their face right now.

When the realization hit her, her face grew red due to embarrassment. Why did she let her guard down? She shouldn't do this. She should run away or kick his shin while his attention was so focused on her. But why can't she do any of that? It's like he was cast a spell on her that lock her movement and ability to talk.

Then, she saw his lips curved upward. Either he was smiling or smirking, she couldn't identify which one because he doesn't look like he was going to kill her either way. Wait, was it her imagination or her eyes getting blurry because she saw a faint glimpse of fang when he smiles.

She finds a bit of strength to talk but it came out almost as a whisper. "Who are you?"

His grip on her chin didn't loosen. "Why do you want to know?" His voice sound sexy.

She replied in a firm voice. "You are a stranger. Why are you chasing me? Do you know me or do I know you before?"

He scoffed. "Innocent like a little lamb. I always watching you but you never took notice on me. Sorry but I can't wait any longer. I'm really thirsty right now. Would you mind if I took a bite? I promise it won't hurt." His tone changed into soft and she almost fell for it.

He pleads in such cute way but thirsty? What does he mean by that?

She was surprised of herself when she gave him a firm nod. "S – Sure." She stuttered. She is somehow acting like a shy girl who just received a confession from a boy she likes.

He leaned forward to her neck while she closed her eyes; trying to grasp the reality that very happened to her. When he bites her neck, she subconsciously lets out a soft moan while clutching her fingers around his arm; trying to stand properly.

This is too much to endure.

Okuda could felt his hot breathe fanned on her neck. Plus, his tongue is licking whatever trickling on her neck and it just turned her on. She felt hot everywhere and even down there but she bit her lower lips to stop from whimpering. He lied; it does hurt but after that, she thought it was good to handle. She really wanted to faint right now but was it appropriate to do so while he is doing his business on her?

After sucking her blood, he looked up to see how her condition is. He wasn't surprise to see her eyes turned hazy and foggy. He furrowed his eyebrows and pressed his forehead on hers.

"You're okay, little girl? I'm sorry for doing so."

She nod; too tired to reply. Her eyelids were threatened to close.

"I'll send you home." He finalized and she faint right away.
