Chap 5: To Protect
Her whole body vibrated, in response to the warm liquid filling her mouth. The taste of his blood made her mind ecstatic, her body feeling the extreme power it brought as the liquid poured into her very existence. She was in heaven. She hissed. She gasped. Heaving heavy breaths as she swallowed it; she had never once felt this strong aura of wanting someone. Of wanting something more. In her hundred years of being alive, Seo Jin always thought of humans as a necessity to survive; nothing more, nothing less. But with the taste of this man's blood, she was addicted. She opens her eyes, she could feel her immense power radiating through her, and she hisses loudly, the loud frantic beating of her heart, made her alive again. Her deep wounds, cuts and broken bones were instantly healed as her power channels within her. She jolted up with a growl and darted towards her savior. She wanted more. She wanted him.
Ji Hoo's eyes widen in shocked as he stared at her open chest, her wounds closing up immediately, replacing it with the porcelain perfected skin that he was enticed to touch. Her body is so perfect that JiHoo felt the desire of wanting her. He couldn't believe what he was thinking and shook the thought away when he heard her growls deeper. He looked up to her and he was shocked when she jumped at him causing him to fall, his back glued to the floor as she was hovering on top of him, hissing. He stared at her eyes, even with the bloodlust red color; he could see the warmness behind it. Her fangs are so sharp and pointed that even merely touching it would cut fingers deeply but he wasn't afraid. He wasn't scared of her. In fact, he wanted it.
Seo Jin accidentally stared into his face, an act that she never dared to pursue when engaging into her preys. But this time is different; she was enticed by his features. His face is perfect just like an angel; his eyes so warm shining brightly upon her. Just by looking at it, she felt like they connected and suddenly she was calm, her fangs draw back and her eyes turn back to golden brown. "I'm sorry." She apologizes and help him stands up. "It was rude of me to attack the man who saved me, my apologies." She didn't look at him, ashamed at her gestures. That isn't how a princess should react, it was out of line. "It's okay, apology accepted. I'm sorry I reacted so harshly when I should have known the consequences of my actions." JI Hoo softly answered, trying to calm the wild beating of his heart. He saw her tense up and realizes how stupid he is for mentioning it. "But I was certain of my actions, I knew it's the only way you can survive and as a doctor which happens to be the person who puts you in that ordeal, it was my duty and obligation to help you."
"Thank you" She said.
He nodded.

"Can you please cover up?" Woo bin threw the blanket at her, blushing, while Jae kyung giggled. "Here, wear this!" He tossed her his clothes. "Oh! Thank you. Uhmm, Woo bin? Can I …?" Jae kyung mumbles. "Sure you can use the bathroom, I reckon you wanted to take a shower, and there are extra towels and toothbrush in the drawer."
"Thank you!" Jae kyung brightly said to him and flash step towards him, planting a soft kiss on his lips. "What was .. that?" He stammers. "Nothing" Jae kyung said closing the doors behind her and when he heard the shower turn on, he sighs and touches his lips. That was his first kiss; stolen by a stupid vampire.
While the princess was taking her time, Woo bin was preparing food, for crying out loud after the heck of ordeal he went through, he was so damn hungry. He made sandwiches, fried some hotdogs, bacon and made pancakes. He wasn't sure if she would eat it but it's the only thing he can come up with. After forever, she finally came up, and when he stared at her, he was taken aback. The clothes that he gave her were styled. His t-shirt was cut straight into half, hanging only in her midriff, exposing her flat toned stomach. He swallowed hard at this sight and continues to looks down when.
His jeans were turn into shorts, revealing her long skinny legs. It was too short that Woo bin could see her inner legs. "You …" He stutters, blushing madly. "Yes I did! Do you like it?" She turns for him to see her whole frame. He blushed at the sight of her and Jae kyung smirks. "Wow, you cooked this?" She walks towards him and sat next to him on the table. "Yes. It's the only food I have, Uhm, does vampires …" He was nervous, really nervous just being this close to her. She was really gorgeous, really perfect. "Eat? Yeah, we do as a matter of fact" She snuggled closer to him, positioning her face on his neck. "I need to feed right now". She whispers darkly and hissed. She licks his neck, teasing him further more. Woo bin immediately pulled away from her and Jae kyung eyes turns red. She licked her lips, opening it slightly to expose her fangs. Woo bin gulped hard and tense up, he is going to be killed. She will feed on him. When she saw the panic in his eyes, she laughs and snakes an arm behind him. Reaching for her black hoodie that was hung loose on Woo bin's chair, she grabs a small wallet and pulls away from him. Woo bin didn't realize what happen until he notice her uncocking a small bottle. "What is that?" he queried. "This? This is my food" She answers and took a swig of the bottle. She closes her eyes, ravishing the warm liquid and opens her eyes. She threw the bottle away and stares at Woo bin.
He couldn't help but gawked at her. "Your eyes, they're golden brown." He closes his mouth which was hanging open and she smiled. "They're lovely aren't they? The color of vampire's eyes means a lot of things, like for instance, my eyes turn black when I'm weak and that I haven't drink for days, and it means I'm in desperate need to feed. It turns bloodlust red when I wanted to feed on someone or when I'm dangerous or when I used my ultimate powers. And it turns golden brown when I'm stuff. Understand?" She queried. He nods. "Good, Bon Appetit!

"Okay, can you think of someone who might want you purebloods dead?" Ga eul thoughtfully queried while eyeing the dark prince intently. He shook his head. "Think! Anyone who's suspicious? Who's against your family? Anyone?" She sighs when he didn't answer. "I can't think of anyone because I haven't been around for a decade. I left." He deeply sighed. "Oh yeah I remember. If you don't mind me asking why did you run away?" She doubly asked. He scoffs. "I don't want to be force into something I don't want to do. This immense power, the responsibility, of me being a pureblood isn't entirely what I want to be. I've lived for a hundred years and yet there something missing. And I just decided to follow what I want, so I run away." He exhales.
"I see, so you came back because you finally found what was missing?" Ga eul continued to ask.
"Not even close, although I realize that maybe what was missing in me was right only in front of me."
Ga eul was astonished from his words, she studied his face. He is really handsome, so perfect. He is strong and yet so fragile. She held his hand. His hands were so cold, lifeless and yet comforting. She smiles at him. "YI Jung." The sound of his name from her lips was so right. Her voice flowing through his ears like a music that he had never heard before.
"huh?" He answers.
"Here" She handed him a phone. "Call your sisters."
He thanked her and YI Jung dialed Seo Jin's number "No luck! I still couldn't contact them"
"Is there a way you can communicate with them? I mean you are a vampire after all."
"Unfortunately, I don't have the power to track down my siblings, that's Seo Jin's." Yi Jung sadly explained. "That sucks! What do we do now?" She sighs.
"Ga eul, why don't you call your brother? Or anyone in your family, maybe they've been worried about you."
"My parents are dead. It's only me and my brother." Ga eul sadly smiles at him while Yi Jung felt sorry. "Don't be sorry. I'm not."
"What happened to them?" Yi jung wasn't sure whether it was such a good idea to ask but he did anyways. "They were killed." She hurtfully spoke. "Killed by your kind." YI Jung was shocked to have heard the truth. Vampires; his kind killed Ga eul's parents and yet here she is saving him, protecting him, taking good care of him. He suddenly felt guilty. He felt ashamed. Ga eul notices the atmosphere suddenly changed, she couldn't grasp it but somehow she notice him fidgeting. "Don't worry!" She assures him. "I don't judge you just because you are a vampire. I've learned that from my brother. He told me that they were different kinds of vampires, just as they were different kinds of people, good and evil." He looks up to her worriedly. "How would you know?"
"Because I know so. Anyways, you're right! I should call Ji Hoo." She stood up and dials the phone.

"Seo Jin? Can I call you Seo Jin or do you prefer the formalities -?" JI Hoo hesitated.
She smiles. "Seo Jin is fine! Can I call you JiHoo or do you prefer the formalities as well?" She teases him. He chuckles. "Ji Hoo is perfect."
"Seo Jin, earlier you said you've been ambush and that you're being slaughtered one by one. Why is that?" JI Hoo solemnly inquired.
"Unfortunately, we are targeted, my brother has been attacked and my sister as well. I'm not sure but I have hints on who's behind this assassination. If my conclusions were right, I'm sure this is about overthrowing us pureblood vampires from the society. Pureblood vampires govern the rules; we made the laws for vampires not to harm humanity. Pureblood vampires have a high ranking seat provided by the royal court; we imposed the law and those who don't abide by them are bound to be punished and killed by us. That's how we kept the peace between humans and vampires in this world." Seo jin momentarily explains while JI Hoo listens. "But there are some vampire clans that opposed to this law, one of them where the Kang Pei clans. They were our enemies over hundreds of years already and yet they still live on. Just like us purebloods, their bloodlines where transcend beyond siblings and heirs but with Kang Pei clans they grew their armies by biting humans."
"And they become one of them" Ji Hoo continues.
"Yes." Seo Jin answers. "That is why they wanted us purebloods dead, because only we have the power to destroy their clans. That's why they hunted is one by one; using decoys, striving behind our weaknesses because if we were united we are indestructible."
Ji Hoo eyes widen in disbelief with this information when his cellphone rang. "It's my sister." He informs Seo Jin and excuses himself while she nods.
"Ga eul are you okay? You sound troubled." What? Are you alright? Where are you now?" Ji Hoo worriedly inquired while Seo Jin focuses hard. She suddenly stood up; her face was alert and frightening. Ji Hoo raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to explain things to him when she suddenly grabs him, causing Ji hoo to drop the phone. "Seo Jin, what's going on …." Before he could finish his sentence, she instantly placed herself in front of him, as if shielding him from something. JI hoo was dumbfounded; he doesn't know what was going on when three murderous vampires blasted his windows. "They found us!" Seo Jin words brought panic and fear through his entire being.

Jandi fluttered her eyes open as she felt the heaviness in her body. She felt so exhausted and weak. She tries to get up when she felt strong hands held her shoulders. "You shouldn't get up! Your body is too weak." She saw JUnpyo and instantly embraces him, clinging so hard onto him, not letting go. "Are you okay? How's your wounds?" He slowly pulls inches from her and stares at her eyes. She is pale. Her eyes so tired, lips so white. "Yes, I'm fine, thanks to you." He informs her while caressing her hair. "I'm sorry." Junpyo seriously apologizes, eyeing the marks he engraved in her neck. The marks where his fangs penetrated through her skin. He shook his head.
"Don't be sorry. I made my decision, I don't want to lose you, even if .. even if we …" She couldn't continue. The words trailed off, she's still too weak to open up her feelings for him, too weak for another heartaches.
He knew what she was about to say, he knew, that after all this years he's still the only one she loves. He saw it in her eyes. The eyes that tell everything, the eyes that displayed the warmness that he's searching for all this years. His feelings for her still remains. She's still the only girl he loves. "I .. I want you to understand, Jandi."
"I do understand JunPyo."
"No you don't! I love you Jandi. All this time, you were the only girl I've loved. I never knew that a monster like me can fall in love with a human like you but I did. I fell in love with you. Only you Jandi. I tried so hard to fight it but the more I do, the more my heart yearns for you. I stayed away from you. I left you. I pretended to not care about you. I pretended not to love you but I do. I do. I still do." JUnpyo openly told her his feelings. Somehow he felt it was right. He owes it to her. He owes it to the girl who saves his life not once but twice.
She cries. She had long to hear those words. The words she wished and dreams off. She loves him so much, so much that she couldn't live without him. "I love you too. All this time, all the heartaches, all the sufferings were all because of one reason, it was because I love you, JunPyo. I don't care what you are, who you are or whatever you are. I love you. And I will always do."
"Jandi…, I love you very much." JunPyo embrace her with all of his heart. Finally being honest with her, gave him the sense of freedom, contentment, the courage. He was free; free of the heavy burden, the pain, and the sufferings in his heart. He held her face within the palm of his hand; he brushes her tears and slowly descends his face towards her. The touch of his lips sends electrical impulses to her body and without hesitation; she kisses him back, passionately, lovingly. Not a care in a world if what happens to her, she never feared him; she tastes his sweet lips as her tongue collided with his. She didn't care if he drinks blood; his mouth was the sweetest thing she tasted. It was warm, sweet, and comforting. He nuzzled her closer to him, deepening their kiss. He swiftly lifted her up, settling her on his lap. They were now setting on the bed, with JUnPyo bearing her full weight. She wraps her legs around him, encircling her arms to his neck at the same time. Their kiss was getting intense until JUnPyo felt an evil aura aiming towards them. He immediately broke the kiss; blasted the roof and hovers in the air, already carrying Jandi bridal style.
"Who are you?" Came Junpyo's fiery voice. Jandi broke from her daze and stared at JunPyo. She couldn't believe her eyes; they were hovering above the ground. She didn't realize that they flew towards the roof.
"Prince Gu JunPyo, we're here to kill you." The voice of murderous vampires fills the air as Jandi look down and saw the ugly beast crouched down. Their eyes fiery red and their fangs elongated and protruding. She slightly panic and was comforted by JUnPyo. "It's okay; I will protect you no matter what. Jandi?"
"hmmm?" She answers him
"Do you trust me?" he asks.
"Yes."
"Okay, then close your eyes."

"Ga eul?' YI Jung's voice woke her trance as she held the phone.
"My brother! My brother is in danger. I can feel it. Yi Jung, something is happening. I have to go and find him." Ga eul abruptly stood up and was stopped by Yi jung. "We can't leave, not right now! We can't go back to the city. It's too dangerous!" He holds on to her shoulders. "I can't stay here. YI Jung please. I can sense he is in danger. Please!" She begs him. He surrenders and sighs.
"Okay, we'll go but on one condition. We fly and you stay close to me." She agrees. The thought of flying didn't bother her as GA eul fears for his brother's life. She couldn't describe this intense feeling but ever since their parents died, she had always this connection with her brother. She can always feel his anxiety, his fears and whenever he is in danger.
They were almost ready to hover up the air when Yi Jung felt a familiar strong aura farther in the woods. He senses this aura as his sister, Seo Jin, and he immediately disappears; appearing towards the depths of the forest. He notices Ga eul shivering in fear while closing her eyes and Yi Jung flies towards the tree branch and looked for his sister when he saw her carrying someone. He abruptly landed on the ground and waited for Ga eul to climb down before running towards his sister.
"Seo Jin? What happened? " Yi Jung rushes towards them.
"Yi Jung?" She inquired, panic all over her voice. " …. HeLP! YOU GOTTA HELP ME!" Came Seo Jin's desperate voice. Yi Jung had never once heard his sister scared like that. He had never once heard her cries, complains or even whines, ever since she took on the role of being a parent to him and Jae kyung, ever since they're parents died. It somehow surprised him and so he immediately came towards her aid.
The next thing he saw was a man on his twenties, his hair was blonde brown, his face so pale and when the scent of human blood filled the air, YI Jung looked down and saw the man's body was almost torn into half. The left side of his body was torn, revealing his vital organs, and losing lots of blood. Yi Jung tried so hard to control his fangs, as the alluring scent of blood engulfs him.
"What are you waiting for? Help me!" His sister desperate voice awoken YI Jung from his daze. "Please don't die on me, please?." Seo jin keep on saying when suddenly the man spoke. "Seo Jin, I'm alright." The man mumbles between breathes. He is still alive. YI Jung thought.
"Oh No! JI Hoo!" Yi Jung was taken aback from the shrieking scream above him. It was Ga eul. "JI Hoo, what happened to you dear brother? What happened? …." Ga eul screamed and cried at the same time, staring down at his brother's mangled body.
JI Hoo was chasing his breath; it was getting heavier and heavier as he felt the massive pain engulfing his body. He suddenly heard his sister crying and painfully utters. "Ga eul, don't cry."
