|Chapter Nine|

"Please,Save him like you did to me."

Seungcheol begged Jonathan in desperation as his best friend's body kept getting colder.

Jonathan nodded as he bite his own wrist and kept dripping his blood on Joshua's lips.

Slowely,his body temperature started turning back to normal and his pulse steaded,it took almost an hour.

An enourmous power kept seeping from Jonathan's body as he started getting weaker but he carried on with the process.

*Time skip*

Joshua was chained in one of the many dangeons underground as he struggled to free himself,while his best friend watched him with bitterness in his eyes.

After Emeralda was finally done with her potion that would lessen the duration of the monster stage for Joshua.

She handed the potion to Joseph who in turn fed it to Joshua.

The three of them just waited in front of the Dungeon door for over five hours in anticepation.

Emeralda fell asleep on her chair while Seungcheol kept pacing back and front in tension.

While the butler went upstairs to check on Jonathan ,who was asleep since they arrived home, after using his powers to turn Joshua without hurting him.

*Two more hours*

Joshua opened his eyes but he was spacing out staring into the nothingness in front of him.

Seungcheol strode towards the dungeon's door and begged Joseph to let him in since he can't teleport inside just yet, but Joseph shoke his head,

"He is still dangerous,Even to a vampire. Plus,He still needs to feed off human blood then he would be free to go."

He adviced then teleported upstairs.

When he came back he had brought a young girl which he chose to be Joshua's source of human blood.

He unlocked the dungeon's door then beckoned the girl to enter who was frightened as she followed Joseph's order and stepped inside the dungeon cauciously.

And as she knew exactly what to do ,she kneeled in front of the now calm vampire,then took out a small knife by which she made a very small cut on the nape of her neck so she would force the vampire to bite her.

Indeed,he bite her.

The girl let out a small cry when Joshua's sharp fangs pierced through her skin.

Inspite of Emeralda's potion,Joshua couldn't control the quantity of blood he drank from the girl leading her to collapse in his arms.

Emeralda and Seungcheol panicked and hurried to the dungeon's door begging Joshua to stop or he will kill the poor human but he didn't hear their begging.

"Joshua,enough!"

Jonathan ordered the vampire who froze letting go of the poor human.

Joshua came to his senses and realised what he just did to the pure human so he backed away to the wall in panic as his bloody lips trembeled visibely.

"Am sorry,forgive me,please. What did I do??!!"

He mumbeled as his tears streamed over his cheeks.

Jonathan aproached him then patted his shoulder softly that made Joshua Shudder from the sudden contact.

"You're okay now,Josh,I promise that you will never hurt a human again."

Jonathan calmly said then teleported to his room with a face full of guilt.

_____________________________________________

A few days have passed since Joshua had became a vampire,during which he learnt the rules of the vampire world and that he should stay close to his master ,obey him and respect him.

Joshua was a young man in his mid twenteenth. He had soft features,His skin was neither tanned nor pale

He had gentle Doe-eyes,curved lips with two tiny dimples above it, he had a soft smile which is always plistered on his face. His body was slightly muscular inspite of his soft appearance.

And he had chestnut colored short hair.

He used to live alone in an apartment near his bar where he slept almost the whole day and stayed up the whole night tending his bar.

His parents abandoned him when he was a child travelling aboard as he lived with his grandparents who owned this bar. After his grandparents passed away they left the bar in his care.

He and Seungcheol were best friends since middle school.

Jonathan's POV

I have been feeling guilty since the day I had to turn another innocent human into a vampire so I almost never left my room for a whole week, until Emeralda and Seungcheol decided they will force me out.

"Jonathan!! Come with us to Joshua's bar since he hadn't opened it for more than a week and because of your stupid rule you got to accompany us,Master."

Yelled Seungcheol from the other side of the room.

I heavily walked to the door unlocking it,then stepped backwards to let them in.

Seungcheol and Emeralda stepped inside energtically followed by Joshua who didn't even dare looking me in the eye.

"Okay,so..."

Seungcheol muttered then pauced to glance at Joshua who aproached me.

"Master,I have to go to work or I might lose my customers,plus today is Friday."

He mumbeled politly.

"Don't call me master..."

I requested quietly.

"Sure,let's go."

Then I added with fake enthusiasm.

"Wait!"

Seungcheol abrubtly said.

"Can't we do something about your long hair first?Humans keep getting decieved thinking you were a woman."

He requested cauciously while pointed at my long straight hair which flowed swiftly down my back reaching my waist.

"No."

I gave a sharp reply.

"Oh! We can braid it in a way that makes it look manly and cool!"

Suggested Emeralda enthusiatically.

I liked the idea so I gave Emeralda a small satisfied smile while nodding.

"Having a long hair in general never had anything to do with gender but if you style it in a cool way that would be amazing."

She added while gently touching my burgundy long hair,then softly and efficently made two braided raws by the side of my head then gathered the rest of the strands along with the braids in a high sleek ponytail.

"And Done."

Announced Emerandla proudly as she finished styling my hair.

I liked how she did my hair that way, to be honest.

"Umm,You still look feminie.."

Complained Seungcheol before I scowled at him which made him retreat in fear and horror.

On the way to Joshua's bar,Joshua explained,

"So today is the weekend thus many people come to party with their buddies and/or lovers so it'd be very crowded and choatic but You do not have to worry."

I shrugged nonchalantly

"Well,Jonathan I guess you shouldn't drink at all tonight...I wish."

Pleaded Seungcheol then shifted his gaze to the window beside him before I shoot him an angry glare.

When we arrived ,it was still early for customers to swarm to the bar.

We took seats at the counter,while Joshua and the other bar workers cleaned up then arranged the tables and seats while keeping a spacious spot in the center.

*Few hours later*

The bar was packed with groups of people ,while loud music, chatters and clanking of cups filled the air.

The scent of humans also saturated the air which made me feel slightly dizzy.

I glanced at Seungcheol who was sitting beside me and chattering with his friend who seemed cheerful and bright at this instant.

I got up calmley and headed to an non-occupied sofa by the corner ,took a seat and rested my head in my palm watching the crowds of people while fighting the urge to fall asleep.

"Hello,Can I join you?"

A guy with a huskey voice asked then took a seat beside me without waiting for my permission.

I glanced at him in boredom then my eyes shifted back to the couple of youth dancing in the center of the room.

"Would you like to join me for a drink?"

He politely requested while placing a glass of colorfull juice in front of me.

The drink smelled and looked interesting so did the stares of that guy sitting beside me.

I wonder if he thought I was a woman too, as he kept sweet talking to me and flirting with me while I drank the juice nonchalantly not paying him any attention.

Soon, the dizziness was replaced by a light headed pleasent senstaion, I figured out why humans liked having fun at bars.

I started feeling excited and euphoric, and begun enjoying the music while sipping more of that magical juice.

"My name is Mingyu,What about you ,beautiful?"

He said as he reached his hand to touch the free strands of my hair twirling it around his fingers in a flirty way.

I side eyed him not interested in his actions and decided to play along while hidding the sour fact that I am not the beautiful woman he thought I was.

I imagined the moment he finds out and chucked to myself in excitment.

The music got louder. So, I got up and strode to the center of the room followed by the flirtly guy as I expected.

It wasn't a good idea since I never learnt to dance like humans do to this type of music so I just stood there lightly moving and trying to match the music,I guess I looked funny so Mingyu aproached me while his eyes looming all over my body from head to toe, yet he didn't notice anything missing or wrong calling me beautiful lady,I guess he was drunk to that extent.

After that moment I begun losing focus as he encirceled me while softly touching my back and holding my waist seductively.

At some point my focus was hazy that I didn't remember some moments but I only remembered him gently grabing my hand and walking out of the room.

Then a blackout,then his lips brushing mine with lust while his hand untighed my hair to get dishieveled all over my back.

That was his second grave mistake.I was distracted with his scent which filled my lungs that I had the urge to drink his blood.

Lastly,I rememeber the taste of human blood and a heavy body collapsing in my arms which made me lose my balance and fall to the ground to my knees.

Seungcheol's and Joshua's voices sobbered me up as Joshua tried pressing on the bite mark on Mingyu's neck while Seungcheol tried calling an ambulance.
