The rain is tipping down throughout the city. A pit patter of thunder breakthrough a dark and ragged cloud—Its tumultuous covered march with the raindrops and keep the little girl awake. Tiara cowered up under her blanket. She closed her ears tight. A cold sweat was streaming down her head. Her little lips drifted, calling for someone.
“M-mom ... Mommy ....”
The five-year-old caught the sound of someone walking up the stairs. She did not move on her bed. She is too scared even to open her eyes. Suddenly, someone pulls her thick blanket, Tiara shocked.
“Honey, are you okay--“
“Mom!”
Hyo-jin hugged her daughter’s tiny body immediately. Her mother smiled while rubbing Tiara’s head slowly.
“I am scared, Mom.”
“I'm here, Honey. Don’t be afraid.”
“Please, don’t leave me.”
“Of course not. It’s okay. The rain is going to over soon. Mom, will take care of you,” said Hyojin gently.
The girl looked up. Her blue eyes noticed hers mom face full of anxiety. It’s something unusual. She had a bad feeling about this. Her chest tightened. She shakes her head slowly. Tiara holding her mother tight.
“I love you, Mom. “
“I love you more than any word can say, Ara.”
Thirty minutes passed, it was still raining outside. The dark cloud of unsatisfied spilled their insides all over the earth. Hyojin shifted her gaze out the window. She bit her own lip. She can’t get rid of her panic. A bad feeling kept bothering her.
“Mom.”
She looked down. Tiara’s small hand wiped her cheeks softly. Hyojin smiles at the sapphire blue eyes in front of her. Brighter than blue sky. Her little angels look so adorable.
“Yes, My Princess?”
“Still not asleep?”
“Mom have to protect you till you sleep.”
Her emerald green iris grew wide when the window next to them suddenly opened. A cool gust of wind burst in, at the same time with raindrops that ended up soaking the carpet in their room. The clatter sound of the windows with flashes of lightning brought Tiara back from her dream.
“Ara, are you waking up?”
“Yes, Mom.”
“We’re going to So-eun’s place right now.”
“Um? But it’s still raining outside.”
“I have some business with your aunty. Grab your jacket, Honey. Mom will get the car keys.”
“All right.”
Hyo-jin rubbing her daughter’s head, “good girl.”
Then she walks out of the room. Tiara uncovered a warm blanket that she was unwilling to leave behind.
The little girl tiptoes a bit. The floor felt frozen like ice. Her small hand reached for the jacket with the picture ‘Minnie mouse’ hanging near the closet. Her favorite jacket. Then she put on it. Done. She walked out of the room.
“Let’s go, Mom!”
There was no answer. Tiara just heard a loud thunder along with the sound of rain out there filling her sense. She is walking towards her mother’s room. Then she opened the wooden door in front of her and went inside. Tiara is calling her mother’s again. She still didn’t find that woman with black hair.
“Mommy?!” she shouted.
Her ears caught the sound coming from the kitchen. She smiled happily. Her mother must have packed some snacks for her. Tiara slightly ran toward the kitchen.
“I am ready, Mom—“
Tiara’s knees suddenly went slack. She fell off to her feet, gazing at the terrifying sight in front of her. Tiara shakes her head slowly, she won’t believe it. That child found the man in the black suit was biting her mother’s neck.
Her tiny body suddenly stiffened. The man gulped down a thick red fluid that flowed out of the wound in her mother’s neck. Hyojin tried to encourage the man to stay away from her. It is useless. She doesn’t have enough power over against that guy.
“M-mom?”
His mother looked weak. She could vaguely see her daughter sitting on the floor with a look of terror on her face.
“Ara? G-get out of here!”
The man paused. His red eyes turned to look at the small child behind him. His smile showed the fangs at the corner of his lips. Tiara is shivering. An overwhelming fear suddenly filled into her mind. Her body stiffened as the man come over her.
The two red eyes looked hungry. The blood on the man’s mouth trickled down, leaving red stains on the floor. Her heart was pounding. Was this the end of her life?
“Run, Ara! Hurry!”
Her mother’s screams brought Tiara to her sense. It's slapped tiara back into the real life. Her eyes welled up as her mother stood in the man's way’s step. The woman smiled warmly at her little daughter.
“You must survive, Ara.”
A second later, that vampire ripped her mother’s guts out from behind brutally. The woman’s entrails were all over the floor. The child look that lifeless body climbed down.
“MOM!”
She opened her eyes. She woke up gasping for breath underneath a blanket drenched with cold sweat. Three days. She has been dreaming of that incident again. A moment which she’ll never forget in her life.
Those hands scrambled her hair that already mess. The girl’s lower jaw hardened, holding back the escalating emotions. It hurts. Her chest felt tight. Her tears came several times when she remembered her mother’s warm smile for the last time. She sobbed.
That bastard took her mother’s life. A person whose mean world to her. The tears turned into a smirk as her eyes caught the blades hanging on the room wall.
“Eyes for eyes. The debt of life must repay with life, too. They must die ... Vampires. ”

Something that you think unimportant is not meaningless.They only hides their sparkles from the others...☘☘☘“WELCOME, Sir!”I said to the man who just entered the café with a smile. There are those who reply me back. Some are just silent, but that’s how humans are. Each individual has its own uniqueness in expression. Don’t judge a book by its cover. No one knows. I work as a server at this café. Keep the cashier, deliver food to the costumer, also a cleaner. I love this job.The tail of my eye caught the figure of a man with a golden hair who was sitting close to where I was. I sighed. He comes. Again. I don’t know what he really wants. He will sit in the same chair. He ordered coffee. No talk. The man just quietly enjoyed his coffee while occasionally paying attention to one server. Freaks
“Do you want a drink, Sir Louis~?”“No,” I replied.The seduction of those women makes me uncomfortable. I’m not interested. Even though they danced striptease in front of me, my face remained cold and flat like an iceberg hard to conquer. The reason I’m not interested is that they sell their body just for the sake of a piece of paper which called money. Humans are dumb.“Do you want a drink, Evan?” asked the long hair woman next to Evan.“Of course, Babe.” my brother replied.The same is the case with Evan, who is so fond of women who have a pretty face with a sexy body that instantly makes his hormones rise. He hugged the women next to him several times. I frowned. Didn’t he realize that they were all used by men who visiting this club?“Want more?”“Yes. If it is an order from a beautiful woman
I was still there when that vampire left us. William walked up to me. He grabbed my shoulders, checked for wounds on my neck.“Are you okay?”“I’m fine.”“Your hand?”“Don’t think about it. It’ll heal later.”That’s a lie. I can’t even move my own right hand. My wrist feels crushed. I don’t want to look weak in front of him. I honestly hate the pitiful gaze of others.“Why did you give up? William who I know won’t give up like that.”“I can’t let you die. Don’t you understand?”“My life doesn’t matter. Our mission must be a top priority.”He just kept quiet, not responding to what I said. He walked up to get his gun, which he threw before. Then, he come back to me. His hands caressed my face gently. I like
‘The mysterious man who’s always appeared on her dreams.’..My little legs ran through the torrent of rain without stopping. My body’s soaking wet. I looked back a few times, making sure the vampire wasn’t after me.“Help me! Anyone! Please!”No one’s listening. My voice swallow by the sound of thunder mixed with lightning flashes in the sky. It blocked my breath when I suddenly saw a black shadow moving farther there.“Help me—”My little body fell to the body of the road. I try to endure the pain. My knees are bleeding from hitting the asphalt pretty hard. It stings. However, I immediately got up and ignored the wound on my knee as the dark shadow approached. I’m shivering in the cold. The cold raindrops feel like they’re piercing my bones.“Mom... I
(Claire's POV)I put my hand in the coat's pocket which I was wearing. The snow falling. My head looked up, enjoying the snowflakes that touched my face. My hand was outstretched, touching the pieces of ice that fell from the sky.‘It’s beautiful....’Don’t want to linger outside with the cold, bone-piercing air. I went back to walking while yawning a few times, withstanding the whacking drowsiness. My face must look terrible. My eye circumference looks blacker than usual.We both didn’t sleep to look after Tiara. She was lying unconscious worries us. William has even asked the master for permission to prevent Tiara from being included in the assault mission -without the girl’s knowledge- because her condition is not improving.I also agree with our leader. The doctor said that
William and I were on our way back to base camp. The man’s silver sports car drove off the highway. My hand has recovered enough, too. Finally, Dr Peter allowed me to go home. Being in the hospital is boring. I don’t like it.“When we’re going to meet Master, Will?”“This afternoon.”“Really? Then let’s go home. Why we’re stopping?” I asked, realizing that our car was pulling over to the side of the road, turning into the parking lot of a convenience store.“Wait. I want to buy something,” William said, pointing at the convenience store next to their car with his chin.“I’ll wait here.”“Don’t go anywhere. I won’t be longer.”“Yes, Sir.”William smiled and got out of the car. I can
'When you're alone in the dark, he'll come.'..☘☘☘THE sound of lashes echoed throughout the underground prison. This vampire kingdom's prison is only lit by a few torches in the corridor. It's so dark. Cold. The stench of the prisoners' corpses stifle the air. Loud screams were heard from one of the rooms. A man of small stature was being tortured by several guards."ARGHHH!""Tell me, who is your master?" asked one of the guards to the man sitting on his knees with an iron chain shackled to his hands and feet.The man remained silent even though his entire body was covered in wounds from guards who whipped him relentlessly. Fresh blood was pouring all over her body. He has sworn allegiance to his master."Answer my question. Are you deaf, huh?!" snapped the bodyguard as he kicked the man in the stomach, his body hit the iron wall behind him.
‘No one noticed, after he’s eating your soul slowly.’..☘☘☘"DID you bring the box?"William pulled out a black box from inside his backpack. Later, he gave the box to the man whom he called as ‘master’ in front of the three of them. The man opens it slowly. A medium-sized roll of paper inside. He unrolled it on the table. Empty. There’s nothing written there.“What does that mean?”The man just smiled, responding to Tiara’s question. He then took a small folding knife from his suit pocket.“Why don’t we find out?”Tiara’s eyes rounded to see the handsome man hurt his own hand. Fresh blood flowed out of the wound on his hand. Then, he directed the droplets of blood on the paper. Within seconds, it formed an image of a droplet of blood.
