Edward is?

The door closed with a small sound as Edward entered his flat. Inside his side of the door, Orion with trembling hands clicked the lock of his door and sat on the floor.

His eyes were wide in horror while his hands were shaking in fear. His heart was beating so fast that he had to take a deep breath to calm himself.

What had he just witnessed!

When he entered his flat he was a little off by the attitude of Ed. But all in all, he didn't pay any mind to it.

He went to his room for a shower. When suddenly while removing his shirt he remembered that he forgot to plug his Mobile into charging.

His mobile died during the evening. Therefore it was still switched off. He walked back to the couch where he had thrown his phone earlier when he heard the muffled sound of something falling on the floor.

It was a very low thump sound like a body falling on the floor. He was first going to ignore it but curiosity got a better hold of him. As he thought someone must have slipped in the hallway thus, maybe requiring some help. He went to his door to see from where the sound came.

He opened the door a little to take a peek when he saw something he shouldn't have.

There were two intertwined bodies on the floor of the corridor. A man was holding down a person and biting down his neck. In dim lighting, he could make out that his eyes were red like blood, and two sharp canines drinking blood from the neck of the victim.

His first reaction was to retreat back in fear but at the same moment, the sound of a gunshot ranged. He saw the monster slackened visibly. He hurriedly closed his door to make as little noise as possible.

He was frozen earlier, but now his mind began to work. The first thing was the guilt of not saving the person but he satisfied his conscience saying that he would only increase the victim count. Whatever it was, it looked like a Vampire but he always believed them to be a myth. And he was not in shape to face a vampire in any way.

He wanted to call the police but his phone was dead in his hand.

Then a barely audible sound came from outside.

"....Mr.Perfect?"

He looked out through the peephole of the door just in time to see the man licking the blood of the other person from his fingers. He recognized the face to be of his landlord cum friend Edward.

He saw with his eyes as his fangs emerged out of his mouth and eyes turned red which were apparent even in the dark surroundings. Orion placed his hand over his mouth to prevent any voice from escaping. This was SHOCK he had never anticipated.

He sat down by his back blocking the door. He had just seen Ed dragging the body of a poor person into his apartment while smirking.

'Ed…..Edward is a vampire. ' Because he hadn't seen the face of a plummeted person and low lighting conditions in the hallway, his impression was that Edward was the one who was drinking blood earlier.

He felt himself breaking down in cold sweat. When he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his mind.

He had to think. He had to steady himself first, then had to escape from this apartment.

After reaching outside he will call the police at first instance. But will the Police believe him? A vampire in this age and me?

They will surely dismiss it as some prank call. Alright, he will just call that his neighbor has killed someone, and the body in his flat will serve as enough proof right?

As he was wildly making plans in his mind, a sudden knocking on his door brought him back to reality.

He was again gripped by the fear. Who could be now?

"Hey, Orion. It's me, Ed. Open the door. We have to talk. "

He felt like cold hands grabbed his heart tight. His heart began to pump adrenaline violently all over his body. His spine was tingling with fear.

His initial idea was to pretend he cannot hear him inside. Maybe he will go away if he realizes I am fast asleep in my room. But the next words across the door extinguished his little hope.

"Hey, Relax we can talk. Open the door. You know I can hear the sound of your heart beating from outside. You are sitting just on another side of the door, right? "

Listening to these words, Orion dashed to his kitchen. He dropped any idea of stealth. He knew he had no chance of beating a monster. So his best chance was to find some way to escape from this flat. Maybe he can find some passerby outside.

He rummaged through his knife set and grabbed his cleaver knife for self-defense. He had to make it out as he thought in his head.

"Oi, oi we don't need to do it like this", he heard a loud crash from outside. And words of Edward floated in his ears. All adrenaline running in his blood was fueling his emergency fight or flight response. He walked outside with the Butcherknife gripped tightly in his hand.

The lock of the main door was broken by the powerful kick of Edward. The door was now swinging freely from its hinges. Ed walked inside and stood there watching Nervous Orion looking at him with cold sweat on his face.

He lifted his hands in front of him,

" Hey, it's...."

Before he could finish, Orion threw his knife aiming at him. Edward was surprised by his immediate attack. He dodged it effortlessly, looked at the cleaver as it collided with the wall, and stuck itself in the wall.

He turned back to Orion to comment something quirky when suddenly he felt a knife incredibly close to his face going for stabbing him in his eye.

With superhuman speed, he grabbed the blade of the knife with two fingers of his hand. First Cleaver's throw was a distraction by Orion as he was holding another knife in his hand that was the main attack.

Orion tried to force that knife into his eye but he could not even budge the grip of Edward. The sharp knife was stuck a few inches before his eye by only his two fingers.

"You are looking for it," said Edward annoyed.

With This, he slammed his other hand into the back of Orion's head. He lost his consciousness while lamenting over the fact that Vampires were real and in fact, he was dying at the hands of one.
