My Gentle Vampire

  My Gentle Vampire

It was a dark stormy night, at the end of the year. It looked like a Halloween night. Dark atmosphere, silence and some thunder without rain. It seemed like you were walking in your own town. But, it isn’t really your town.

You saw an old antique castle, which seemed like a haunted castle. Then, you decided to enter it.

The door was locked. You used the handles to knock twice. The door opened slightly with a loud creak.

You looked inside but no one was there. You were a bit nervous. You still wanted to discover what’s inside, though.

“Hello? Is there someone here?” You were calling. Without a single voice to be heard except for yours.

BANG! You looked around but you couldn’t see anything. All that can be heard are those “Bang” noises. “W-Who’s there? Sh-Show yourself!” You were calling.

 

Still, no voice. You were walking around to discover the place and explore it. Suddenly, you saw a weird-looking coffin. It looked unnatural. You touched it, it had some sharp tips which kind of hurt you.

You opened it. There was a good-looking man inside. He looked pale. You thought he’s dead. So, you gently touched his face using the tip of your fingers.

Then, he suddenly got up. As if he just woke up from a coma. He caught your hand and squeezed it tightly, giving you a fierce look with his red eyes. You kept looking at those eyes of his with pain and fear. “A-Ah! Stop, it hurts!” You begged.

It was so doubtful for him to have red eyes. You liked watching vampire movies a lot. Even so, you never believed that vampires existed. It was really strange to see a real vampire in front of you, as if it’s a realistic dream. But by looking at his eyes you figured that he’s a vampire.

He didn’t stop. Instead, his facial expressions got sharper and he squeezed your hand even stronger than before. Also, he was super strong. Vampires are known for being strong.

You felt like dying at that moment from how painful it was. He then saw the bruise you got earlier. The blood was still fresh in it. He became savage and grabbed your chin to bite your neck. He opened his mouth so widely that you can even see his sharp teeth.

You trembled in fear. But you didn’t move because it happened so fast that you couldn’t do anything. He leaned closer to your neck, you closed your eyes with a grimace on your face.

His teeth ripped a little part of your neck. “Unhh”, you whimpered. Your neck was bleeding. He was sucking your blood like a thirsty person who hasn’t drank anything since days.

He let go of you a few seconds later. He looked at your face with a drunk face. You stared at him blushingly. You two made eye contact for a couple of seconds. Then, you turned.

“What are you?” He asked drunkenly.

“What do you mean?” You said hesitantly.

“Just drinking your blood made me drunk”, he responded. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to-”

Before you completed your sentence, he bit you once again. “Why are you doing this again? Unghh”, you groaned.

“I’m in love with your blood, I can’t resist”, he replied.

“Ughh”, you mewled.

He didn’t stop drinking your blood. After seconds, you fainted in his arms. He then let go of you.

He stared at you while you weren’t awake. He felt kind of upset because he hurt you.

He healed your bite wound. He then carried you to his bedroom. He gently set you in bed and covered you with a blanket.

The next morning you woke up in your own bedroom. Unfortunately, you couldn’t remember any of the things that happened to you yesterday.

You went to the toilet to wash up. Then, you noticed a little scar on your neck. You placed your finger on it. PSHOO! All the events that happened yesterday were flowing in your mind like a river.

You still didn’t know how’d you get back to your own home. It was a mystery.

You looked at your reflection in the mirror. It wasn’t natural, your reflection was you but a vampire version! It had glimmering red eyes and shiny sharp teeth.

You approached it slowly. The mirror absorbed your fingers, as if you’re dipping your hands in water. You used your second hand to check if the mirror would really absorb it. It absorbed your second hand, as well.

Little by little more of your body would be absorbed into the mirror. Until you felt like someone was pushing towards it on purpose.

You fell from a place that’s highly above the ground. “Ugh”, you groaned. Then, you got up and removed the dust from your clothes.

Once you finished, you raised your head up to see that this is the same place you’ve been to the other day. You turned a 360 turn to check if everything is still the same. Everything was as you knew. But, one thing wasn’t…

You didn’t happen to see him when you checked on the place. He just appeared out of nowhere, which gave you a jump scare.

“A-Ah-”, you weren’t able to talk.

“I’ve been waiting for you.” He said “C’mere.” “Mhm”, you nodded your head obediently.

He made you sit on his lap, then he started sucking your blood. You didn’t make a single noise this time but it was clearly stated that you were flinching and trembling. Your eyes were tightly shut while crying.

“It hurts but it feels good at the same time”, you whimpered.

He wiped his mouth. “Oh, really? Looks like you find this fun.” He said with an un-straight face.

“Mnhh, stop...I can’t take it anymore”, you cried.

He hasn’t responded to you. The pain started to get overwhelming to you. So, you pushed him with all the last bit of energy left in you. Which made his teeth rip your neck.

You fell rolling on the ground. Your neck was bleeding so much and you were panting. Your vision was getting blurry.

He got on top of you faster than a dash. But you couldn’t see well. He set his hand on your neck to cure you with his magical power. You didn’t let him touch you, you turned. He looked at you madly. His red eyes looked fiercely at you. He didn’t do anything, though. He tried controlling his temper.

He transformed into a human so that you wouldn’t be scared of him anymore. He transformed into a handsome guy in a suit. It was his special ability to turn into a human.

He healed you quickly. You woke up and quickly ran to him. You slapped him in the face. His eyes sharpened and glared at you madly as a slap mark appeared on his face. “Are you willing to kill me?! Why do you keep sucking my blood until I faint and then you heal me?! Are you crazy?!” You exclaimed.

“Heh...Hahahaha! HAHAHAHAHA! I’M CRAZY, YOU SAY?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!” He covered his face and laughed. “I just crave for your blood, honey. Is it that hard for you to understand?” He continued sincerely.

“You crave for my blood?! That’s nonsense! So, you’re going to make me yours just for my blood?! Once I’m dead you’re gonna get rid of me?!” You confronted him.

He sighed and walked towards you. He held your face gently. “I’m sorry...I didn’t mean to scare you off. I just- Ugh”, he said guiltily.

“Aww, you’re sorry? Like I care! I can’t forgive you unless-”, he cut you with a hug. “A-Ah, W-What’s with you?” You were flustered.

 Both of you stayed in this position for seconds. Until you said, “H-Hey, listen. I’ll let you have some of my blood but please be gentle. You know how sensitive my neck is.”

“I’m sorry for hurting you. I promise from now on, I’d be gentle with you. Okay?” He said.

“O-Okay.” You said worriedly.

You leaned back to give him access to your neck. He was getting ready to bite you. You were nervous, squealing on the inside.

Suddenly, a time gate has opened and swallowed you up. You looked at him with a sad look on your face, you widened your hand towards him hoping that he’ll catch your hand but it happened as fast as lightning speed that he couldn’t even reach you.

You were gone. He got on his knees and curled up. He was so heartbroken. “Even though vampires are fierce, they can still be sensitive sometimes.” He thought to himself.

Ever since that day, he has been living differently. He’d ask his servants to get him a bottle of premium blood. He drinks a lot of blood everyday, which isn't good for his health. Blood is just like liquor for vampires.

His condition is getting worse and worse each day he doesn’t see you. He felt like a big part of him was missing. He was waiting for you everyday but you never showed up. Three months passed and he hasn’t seen you yet.

 You, on the other hand, were at your house. You tried using the mirror to travel to his world. But, each time you do, you fail. The mirror wouldn’t let you go in.

When night came, you saw yourself in his castle. You saw him sitting on his throne. He looked intoxicated. You walked towards him. But before you reached his throne, he grabbed you by your hand and hugged you.

You didn’t see that coming. You thought he’d bite you instead. Still, you were relieved that he didn’t.

He then slightly moved downwards to your neck. “W-Wait. Please don’t do that now. Can we just stay like this for a longer time?” You suggested.

He pulled you quickly and took you to his room. He threw you on his bed roughly. “Agh!” You expressed your pain. He flipped you to the back. He stroked the back of your neck using his cold hands. “A-Ah! Your hands are cold.” You flinched. “Mmh”, he liked his lips and opened his mouth widely. He leaned closer to your neck.

“Aaaaaaah!” You gasped. “What kind of dream is that? Hah.” You were panting.

You got up immediately to check if the mirror works. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. You were so irritated. You made a long sigh. Then, you went to your room and jumped on your bed aggressively. “Ugh! Seriously, what kind of luck do I have?! And what’s with that damn mirror?! I hate it!” You roared.

 You were pissed off. He was weak, without you. You then rushed to the mirror. You have seen something on it, I wasn’t your vampire form reflection though. But instead, it was his world. It was a dark, gloomy place as usual. Strong thunder was constantly crashing towards the castle. But it remained stable.

You looked carefully and noticed a small black creature flying towards the mirror. You were wondering what it is. You noticed it’s a bat when it came really close to the mirror. It then came out of the mirror. You gasped, because you thought it was only you who was able to teleport.

The bat vanished into dust as soon as it teleported. “Hmm...Is this a sign that the mirror works now?” You thought to yourself. “Let me try it out.” You stepped to the other world by one foot. “It worked!” The mirror’s magic worked and you are finally able to see him.

As soon as the door opened, you ran in quickly. You saw him sitting on his throne with his eyes closed. His lips were covered with red blood that had dried out. You slowly approached him by stroking his hair gently. “Umh.” He made a little noise and flinched a bit.

There was broken glass on the floor. You took a sharp piece and made a cut on your hand. When it started bleeding, you placed your hand into his mouth.

You were able to feel him gulp the blood. His eyes were dropping tears even though they were still closed, and he was sniffing softly. Then you sat beside him on his throne and he clinged into you real hard. 

“Uhm?” Sweat was dripping from the corner of your head and you were looking around nervously.

“Why did he suddenly get so soft? That’s bizarre.” You were thinking all along. He flicked once. You saw yourself in bed with him. He still hasn’t let go of you. This time he clinged on you even stronger than before. He was sleeping on top of you like a baby. You haven’t said anything but your facial expressions proved that you were out of words.

Time passed and passed. You fell asleep. Suddenly. There was a knocking noise on the door, which caused you to wake up. “Mmmh, how long have I been sleeping?” You stretched and yawned.

“Young Master, are you in there? Can I come in?” An outsider's voice was heard. You looked around you in fear. “Ahh, what should I do? Who is that guy?” You nervously thought. Knocking continues. “Young Master? I’m coming in.” He said. “Ahh! Oh no!” You screamed internally. The door creaked slowly. A tall pale guy with white hair appeared.

His red eyes got sharper as he saw you. “Who are you? What are you doing in my Young Master’s room? And how did you force him to sleep in bed?! Young Master sleeps upside down, like other vampires! What did you do to him?!” He roared at you.

“I-I...” You weren’t able to say anything.

He grabbed you by your arm. “You are coming with me! No one escapes with this!”

He took you to the main castle room and he called the other servants. They hanged you on a long wooden pole. They all attacked you and shot you.

You were bleeding a lot. Your head was lowered towards the ground. You started getting pale.

A few minutes later, he showed up. He just woke up from his nap. He rubbed his eyes and came. What he saw shocked him. It made his heart ache and he got weaker and weaker.

Then, his older brother showed up and killed all the evil servants that were there. With a magical spell he healed him. He ran quickly towards you. He lifted your head and looked at you with a sad look on his face. He looked at his brother with despair. “Tsk!” The older brother scoffed and left.

He quickly carried you and gave you a healing liquid. Your color was returning back to normal as soon as he fed you the liquid. You still didn’t wake up yet though. Still, he was so relieved that you got healed. He hugged you tightly and let you rest in bed properly.

He promised himself from now on not to leave you no matter what. He waited until you woke up. When you woke up, he stared at you uncontrollably.

“Why do you keep staring at me?” You asked.

“Huh? Oh I just spaced out. What were you saying?” He gave an excuse.

“What? I know you didn’t space out! So, stop lying!” You opposed him. 

He lifted his hair and sighed. “Look, I don’t know how to bring this up.” 

“Oh come on! You can tell me anything.” You insisted.

“Haah. Fine.” He replied.

“You’ve gotten into a lot of trouble because of these servants of mine. So, I was thinking of giving you a special charm. But you have to marry me. I honestly love you, that’s why I want to protect you from them. What do you think? Do you accept me?” He asked.

You covered your mouth and pleaded. “Did a vampire just confess to me that they love me? Since when are vampires so warm-hearted? The ones I saw in movies were evil and they used humans just for blood, they never really believed in love. Also, I’ve noticed this about you. When I hug you, you are warm. Like, how is that? Aren’t vampires dead? I still love you so dearly that words can't even express.” You claimed.

“Alright then. It’s settled. We are getting married.” He confirmed. He called the female servants to prepare for the wedding and dress you. He prepared the charm he chose for you. The dress they prepared for you was a long black dress. It’s what is worn on vampire weddings, not like usual dresses. He wore a black suit.

At the wedding night, the old religious vampire stood and gave him the wedding contract. “I, The Young Master of the vampire family, Zhong Chenle, swear to take care of my dear wife to the fullest and make her the happiest among all women.” He swore.

“I, the woman who opened a vampire’s coffin, Kim Soyoung, swear to love my husband to the fullest and make him the happiest among all men.” You swore.

“The charm that I choose to give my wife is...To be immortal and no other vampire can touch her or hurt her. I’m the only one who can apply an action on her.” He chose. The old vampire gave him a small box. He opened it to your direction. 

“Sh-Should I eat it?” You confusingly asked. 

He nodded. You slowly took it from its place. “A-Ah.” You put it in your mouth.

Luckily your charm isn’t the type to make a person savage. Yours was just too faint. Other vampires used charms to make their partner savage and they ended up betraying them. He was wise to choose this kind of charm.

Everyone was clapping for you and congratulating you. You two were so happy with this ending. You two lived happily ever after forever.

The end
