Vampire

Sitting down, on the cold floor for a while, ZouMi got up and head towards the mirror and started stripping. The nail scratch's, while struggling to get free from of those 'human less animals', were still fresh on her body. The smooth milky white skin of hers, which didn't have any marks before, now is tainted over her arms, neck, legs.

'Disgust.' The only feeling running in her veins.

ZouMi soaked herself in a bathtub filled with hot water. Rubbing harshly on marks using soap and scrubber, aiming to remove those touch, marks caused by their filthy hands. Nevertheless, that didn't give ZouMi relief, instead gave, pain. But, the pain in her heart couldn't be compared to any.

Covering her mouth with one hand tightly, she screamed. Acting all good, fine and okay, was tough for her when, every night their faces haunt her in her dreams. Lying on bed every night, she prayed not to be able to see the next morning. And when the morning comes, she prayed, not to survive till the night.

After what seems like ages, ZouMi got out of the tub cleaned herself and dressed, when the maid came to inform her that dinner is ready. Holding onto the doorknob, she took a deep breath and with a plastic smile walked out.

This plastic smile of hers, did fool her parent's, but not her brothers.

Sid Xau, Su Chen and Lui Bai, her best friends less, more than brothers. Though Xau was her twin brother, even Chen and Bai were not less to her. They're childhood friends, with sixteen complete years of their friendship. Each one of them know everyone in and out, one's fake face can't fool the other's in the group.

ZouMi has grown up with boys, and is a tomboy. She never acts like a decent delicate girl, but ruthless, intelligent, sharp and cunning for the one who are on her bad side, loving caring and innocent for the one in her, good books.

Nevertheless, the dinner went peacefully. The three boys occasionally glanced at ZouMi and continued eating. Once done with dinner, ZouMi excused herself and entered in her room, trying to catch some sleep as tomorrow will be a very tiring day.

The three boys gave a look to each other and got up heading towards ZouMi's room.

Inside the room,

The room was dark, a figure was rolling on the bed, the three boys walked to the bedside. To comfort their sister, they hugged her. Sensing the familiar surrounding, the disturbance in her mind and heart came to an ease.

At midnight ZouMi was drenched in sweat, struggling, probably having the same dream. Feeling the moment all the three woke up, one held her hand, while the other one saying soothing words in her ears, "Calm down, we're here, nothing is going to happen to you. You're safe around us."

Hearing the gentleness of the voice, and feeling the touch of her loved once around her, she felt ease and slept again in the arms of her brothers.

But, the three of them didn't even blink their eye's. The whole night, seeing their sister like this shocked them to the core. Acting all good and fine the whole day, their little princess was not even a bit of ease.

What those bas*ards did to her was one time, but the memories of it hasn't been erased.

Next morning, the day of hearing at the court;

When ZouMi woke up, she was alone in her room. She got up and dressed in a peach color long dress, with the plastic smile on her face.

In the dining room Mr. and Mrs. Sid, the three boys were already there waiting for ZouMi. Once they started with having their breakfast, Mrs. Sid said, "ZuZu, mum and dad are with you, you don't need to worry about anything."

ZouMi smiled and said, "Mum you think your daughter is that weak? I know, I have you all by my side and don't need to worry. But, that doesn't mean, I should hide at your back's. Taking what belongs to me, is always my motto. And that's never going to change. Justice is all what I want, nevertheless no one can stop me from getting, what I want."

Listening to this Daddy and Mommy Sid was in relief, but that wasn't the same on the other side of the table. The three boys had blank face, with darken eyes and gloomy aura around them, which was unnoticed by the elders.

But, ZouMi noticed. To avoid problems, she said, "Dad, just two of us will go, I don't need extra attention."

"NO!" Three of them simultaneously rejected her. What happened last night was enough for them, they already lost their little innocent sister for nine months, but no more. They would never leave her even for a second alone.

ZouMi had no idea about last night, so she was shocked, what just happened to them and why they're reacting like that?

"Guys come on, we aren't going for a picnic. I don't want to be the center of attraction."

"You're already, the center of attraction, the media would be probably awaiting outside the court to ask you, their nonsense questions and can go to any limit for TRP. We don't want you to get hurt, that's all. If you don't want us to accompany you, then, we will hide back, as shadow. Even if you don't want us to be there we'll, no matter what. End of discussion have your breakfast." After listening the out burst, from the most calm boy of their group, who never even raised his voice nor did ordered anyone in past actually said that.

Lui Bai, what the heck is wrong with you? Oh, wait what is wrong with all of them? Questioned ZouMi in her mind.

'Something is fishy, why are they suddenly behaving so weirdly? Ugh! Never mind, once they make their mind nothing can change. Do want ever you want to, I don't care. There is more important things to do.'

Uncle Lu, came to accompany ZouMi and the other's to the court, so to prevent from bumping in the reports.

At around half past ten, ZouMi and others reached the court. A wave of cameras is waiting for them, once reached, they started snapping pictures, asking questions to which answers were obvious. Seeing the wave of cameras, ZouMi's already clenched hand were more tightly held together making her skin red. The Sound of breaking knuckles were heard, but not from ZouMi.

The three boys beside her, were pissed off seeing and hearing the questions.

'Are they all crack head or don't have brain? Are those really questions asked by grownups? Well, they surely can do anything for TRP and doesn't give a sh*t about the person going through all this. They are nothing, but a bunch of idiots.' This was all going on in her brothers head.

Getting down from the car, the three boys shield by surrounding around their sister. One at right the other one at left, and one at back.

For outsiders, ZouMi held her chin up with confidence, but only her and the boy's knows the emotions were like volcanic eruption, within her.

A van halted at the gate 'POLICE' imprinted on it. The First came out was an officer, followed by two men in chains. The wall made up by human brother's, felt chilled wave from their sister. Like a dead hungry vampire, awaiting to eat its prey, alive. Even the chained men felt a chill down their spine, while passing by the wall of human.

Half-hour later in court,
