• Underground

@Godfrey Gao "It is really tedious. I mean kids around here seem to be getting injured more than I ever see in a school," she chuckled in response and looked around. "You are a teacher here right? Mind showing me around this place? I mean I just got here and I really need to know this place more. Just in case I come here alone and get lost, and there will be no one to save me."

She snorted and blinked in shock, leaning backwards as a basic instinct. "Vampire, you say? Now I see why being in here doesn't affect you. It's mad cold here. Cool ." Jinah let out a soft chuckled before nodding. "Now I know how to protect myself.. Mr Vampire." With that, she brushed the back of her hand down his cheek and then pulled it away. "Now, can I have that small tour I requested for?"

@Im Jinah (Nana) He chuckled as she stood back from him, although he of course understood why. He nodded as she spoke, "True, although it must get a little tedious to constantly be patching them up." It was sort of understandable why they fought or got hurt so much- especially the humans since they were quite often the prey of the other students, however he did wish that they could learn to control themselves. He did get bored of having to break up fights.

"You don't? I guess I'll tell you then.." he kept his distance from her, watching her carefully before he spoke next. "Vampire." he said as he folded his arms. It was always hard to tell how people would react when he revealed his species. Sometimes they would freak out, or other times they would just accept it. Humans could be unpredictable at times.

@Godfrey Gao Jinah gulped, trying not to make it so obvious as she looked up at the guy and took a step back, just to be sure and safe. "Yeah.. very busy. And I can understand that. I mean they are young. They bound to get into fights," she smiled, though not sure if it was really fights they were getting in. Something told her that it was not that. Sighing, she tried to make herself comfortable and really wanted to escape his clutch but unfortunately for her, her path to the exit was pretty much blocked.

"Well.. maybe you can tell me, please. I really hate guessing games." She said honestly while keeping a smile on her face slightly. She wanted to curse the lack of lights down here. She even felt like putting a lot of light bulbs here. Even if she did, she pretty much guessed that whoever came here for transformation and hated light, all the bulbs would be gone in a minute or even less.

@Im Jinah (Nana) He looked at her with a soft expression. He enjoyed luring people into a false sense of security, although it seemed like this girl was going to be harder to convince than others before her. She certainly seemed to be very aware of the dangers that she could face being a human in a school such as Orion. "Ah, a nurse. That must be busy." he gave a nod. There were always students fighting and messing around each other, so naturally there were a lot of injuries. Some students even fought over the humans, particularly the vampires who would fight over who could have the humans blood.

"I suppose that is true.." he nodded before giving her an amused smirk. "You're not sure, hmm? Would you like me to tell you, or do you think it would be more fun if I just let you keep on guessing?" he raised an eyebrow at her. With the lack of light down in the underground it would be hard to see his pale skin, and the way it would look in sunlight. Not to mention that his fangs were also hidden by the low light. He often wondered what it would be like to be a human here, although he was thankful that he didn't actually have to be like that. Even being a vampire could pose its threats here, so he certainly wouldn't like to experience life as a human.

@Godfrey Gao Obviously she would stutter since the man was the first one she had came across. Ever since she arrived, all she did was treating the students and never bothered to make small talk every now and then. Glancing at the tall man, she tried to figure out what he was. A human? That possibility was out. The way he came close to her and seemed to sniff her out was a giveaway. That narrowed down to either a vampire or a werewolf. And this place seemed to be a perfect place to turn into their true forms.

"Yeah, I am really new here. A nurse, at the Infirmary. I guess you should have heard about me by now and it seemed untrue by the way you asked me questions." She shrugged and then put her arms behind her back with one leg bent as to show how comfortable and at ease she was. "I have to. There are more creatures than humans and who know what will happen if I let my guard down. And I figured you must be a creature, but not sure exactly what." With that, she took a step back and smiled politely.

@Im Jinah (Nana) He could still see her clutching the thing in her bag. He was no mind reader but he assumed it was probably some kind of self defence. A lot of the humans around this place seemed to carry some kind of weapon- it kind of made sense, although typically it was useless since the creatures were often faster than humans anyway. He looked at her as she struggled to explain herself- it was a simple question that he had asked so he wondered if she was up to something suspicious by the way she was stuttering, although even if she was it wasn't like he was planning to stop her.

"So you're new.. I see. What are you working as here?" He asked, assuming she was a worker. She did look young, but not so much as to be a student. Besides he could usually tell a persons age by the smell of their blood- it was kind of like wine, how it got richer with age. He could see her lean away from him and he chucked. "You don't have to be so cautious with me, you know." He said it in a friendly tone, although the thought of taking her blood was still running through his mind. Vampires were often quite deceptive with heir lies, but it wasn't like he was going to hurt her much.

@Park Bom What a way to meet someone, he thought to himself. Certainly he had been fortunate enough until today to not be caught in the act of, well, murder. He heaved his chest in relief, glad that she was someone who easily and quickly responded to him. She really hadn’t done anything that irked him immensely, thus he had no reason to place up a cold front. She seemed willing to assist him in whatever he needed. He kept that in mind – it could become of use later. He glanced down at the girl, as she introduced and bowed to him. So her name was Park Bom and she was a shapshifter. Just as Luhan had suspected. He mentally praised himself for getting something right about her.

“Luhan’s the name,” He responded. “Demon”.

He felt like the name was a bound status to him. It annoyed him, but he was used to it. He tightened his grip around the limp girl in his shoulders and decided to walk out with the shapeshifter. He would have to be slightly discreet, however.

“Well it was a pleasure meeting you, Bom,” Luhan turned to her, his face in a smirk. “I doubt you’d like to see me again, so let’s hope that we don’t cross paths again”. And he was speaking truth. Once he met people like her, people who he didn’t have a first prime interest in, they never usually did cross paths again – as they usually avoided Luhan after first meetings.

(END)

@Godfrey Gao Her hand clutched onto the weapon behind her, reassuring that it was there to protect her whenever she needed it. Realizing that he too had come here for some quiet time, she was half reluctant to believe him. And then questions were thrown at her, causing her to keep her guard a bit down. "What? I am here to uh...", she trailed off, trying to remember what she was doing here before she steadied herself because having a handsome guy here could be a small disturbance to her thoughts. "-explore the place. I just arrived and I am like why not explore the school while I am free today." She explained in detail, not wanting to be judged as a lying person because she herself despised liars.

Jinah was surprised at how close he seemed to be but not that close enough to sniff her or bite her. Automatically, her body leaned backwards, away from him as if her whole body was on defensive mode. Was he a vampire? Was he a werewolf? She had read somewhere that these two species usually leaned in close to the victims and she was not going to let that happen while she was on high alert.

@Im Jinah (Nana) Godfrey looked over her features as he stood beside her. She really was very pretty- so how was it that he had never seen her around the school before. He wondered if perhaps she was new, but cast his thoughts aside as he heard her speak. He smiled at her, his face expressing a friendly aura, although he really couldn't help but long for her blood.

It was then that he noticed her hand move to something in a bag behind her but he remained where he was stood. "I always come here when I want some quiet." he explained. "What are you doing down here? I've never seen you here before.." he said as he leant forward very slightly, but still not enough to be too close to her. He could smell her blood so strongly, and it was taking quite a bit of his concentration not to just bite her right away, but as time went on he got more used to it.

@Xi Luhan Bom looked at him with questioning look "are you sure? You look as if you don't want me to come...it is okay I will just go back to my dorm" now she went back to her yellow eyes as she looked around to find her way back. She didn't know why but she felt sorry for him that he can't love and the fact that he won't feel such thing even when she herself didn't know anything about love. For her it was more like fairytails and movies but she couldn't ever imagine it in real life especially her life. Knowing that it was time for both of them to go on their ways she bowed her head politely and apologise once more for interrupting him but a realization hit her. She didn't know the demons name and didn't tell him hers. She quickly bowed her head and introduced herself with her usual wide smile "it has been nice to meet you...by the way I'm Park Bom the black wild cat and you?" once again she asked with curiousity.

@Park Bom "I'm fine. I do this all the time - I'm not careless, if that's what you're thinking," He responded, rolling his eyes. At her curt permission of aid, he shook his head. He was fine doing it the way he usually did - getting rid of the body somewhere discreet, somewhere where it would be able to wash away with nature, somewhere no one would ever know - And he wasn't exactly willing to tell her what he did. It was be a controversy for her. And so, he wasn't willing to go through that talk with her. He wasn't willing to talk about anything to anyone really. He was careful with what he said - he always had to be.

"Demons don't fall in love. I won't fall in love. And I've never fallen in love before. So it's not a problem, for most of us," He retorted, "It really only works if I bite down though. Not a problem, I'm careful."

And he really doubted he was when it came to things like that. He pursed his lips together before. She was really a bundle of...something. She stayed. Which was a miracle on her part. He decided it was time to dispose of the body - so he stood up.

"I'm going to get rid of her." He bluntly told the girl. Strangely, he found her amusing. She was so naïve, it was slightly funny. "I'm not inviting you to come but I'm guessing you would like to?". He hauled the unmoving body onto his shoulders, heaving her up and readying himself.

@Xi Luhan Bom leaned back a little at his last words, she wasn't really scared that time knowing that he won't hurt her. She just looked up at him , glanced at the dead girl and then back at him. "What are you going to do?" she asked referring to the girl. "I think I can help you burry her if you want" She offered yet she wasn't sure what exactly she was doing. She just couldn't stand the image that she might be left here and anyone could find her like this. She slowly tried to standup using the wall behind her as a support and started to dust her clothes "I'm a shape shifter, a wild cat so I think I can help you". She looked at the dead girl then back at him "Like you were kissing her? What will happen if you kiss the girl you love? Will she die?" Bom never stops being her curious self still asking many questions even in a situation like that. She was supposed to be running away for her life after he said he won't hurt her but no curiosity was her lust and she couldn't stop herself.

@ Park Bom

His eyes returned to their natural brown orbs – making the ordeal much less frightening for the girl. Perhaps it was a little too less scary because she still didn’t move. Anyone else would have run by now; run far away. She glanced into her own eyes – and immediately knew she was a shape shifter. He wondered what animal and estimated that perhaps she was a cat because of her behaviour. A cat at a place like this – what a confounding discovery he had made. He plastered a thin line across his mouth and glanced at her once more – his eyes forever staring. He kind of wished she would stop crying – it made him feel a little uncomfortable. He always squirmed when other people cried. However whenever he cried, which was a rare event, he was fairly glad for the feelings to flow from his body.

“Good,” He blatantly responded. “Keeping quiet is the best action – you don’t want to know what will come your way if you do say something”.

He almost laughed at the girl’s question. She possessed some kind of childlike innocence, the kind of innocence that shouldn’t be around people like him. He would break her. Believe it or not, he had tried making friends a long time ago and that ended up with a dead person. The other part – obviously. He deeply sighed and pointed towards the now still girl. She was not moving. Oh well – time to move her body away.

“We do what we want. When you’re me, there are no rules,” He retorted. He rolled his eyes at her next question, “You can take people’s lives in numerous ways…if you’d really like to know. Stabbing, torture, whatever we feel like. I’m guessing you’d like to know the true demon way, if there is any, it’s kissing our victims”. He leant in closer to her, attempting to scare her off a little.

@Xi Luhan Bom was crying hard not wanting anyone to go closer to her. She was in a mess a misery of her past life she still fighting hard to forget but everything happened now brought this memory to life as if it just happened. She was aware that he was crouching down in front of her but didn't want to look at him she was too scared. Listening to his words she slowly looked up at him tears flowing down. She wiped them quickly with the back of her hand still sobbing.
"so you are not to do anything to me? ... Thank you ... Of course I will never say a word" Bom looked down still sobbing a little trying to take her breath as she started to calm down as she thought for a while before she looked at him again with her curious yellow eyes
"what do demons usually do? How you take someone's life? " she asked like a child would ask a teacher.

@Park Bom

In all honestly – he wouldn’t physically touch a hair on her head. Tempting. But no. He wouldn’t risk permanent damage. He wasn’t that stupid. And while he watched her crumble, he wasn’t exactly sure what his sequential action was in plan. She was meant to be gone, back into the sunlight where she belonged – poof – her incorrigible attitude out of his sight. Yet her presence was still noticed by him. Her curled position on the ground irked him a little – but that was all. It didn’t really affect him at all in that sense. But then, he realised something else. She was crying – hard. Luhan likened her tears to neverending waterfalls. Was she really that scared? He wouldn’t do anything with her – unless she was willing to an extent – willed by intimidation or desire didn’t matter. However, he was kind of used to the sob and tears. It didn’t happen as often as the giving in – but he did receive cases where people refused to do what he wanted and cowered away in fear. It usually took a little bit more convincing, but today he wasn’t too eager.

He sighed deeply, before crouching down so that he could become eye level with the sobbing girl. He had to admit – it tugged at his heart a little. Just a little. Remorse wasn’t really his thing, so any sympathy was completely out of the question.

“Not that you’re special or anything – but I’m not really in the mood for playing with girls like you today,” He bluntly stated, catching a tear from eye. “Not today.”

“This place isn’t for people like you. There’s nothing to see down here. And there’s nothing to see here either,” He pointed at him, smiling. “You will not tell a soul about what has happened”.

He hoped he’d scared her enough for her to leave him be. To finish off his deed.

@Godfrey Gao Someone breathing down her neck made her stop in her tracks and stayed still, wondering who this person was or rather what it was. "Yeah this was cold...", she muttered, not wanting to ge hurt as she walked up a bit and turned around to see who was standing behind her. To her surprise, a really good looking man was standing there, tall and all.. Godly because he seemed to sparkle a bit to her.

She then noticed the paleness of his skin before she knew what he was. A Vampire. Of all places to run into a vampire, it had to be the underground. There was a fact how vampires are cold-blooded and they were really not affected by the coldness of this place which meant, they were perfectly fine moving around, . "What are you doing down here..?", she asked as her right hand moved to the back of her pouch, grasping on the handle of the weapon meant to aim at vampires, lightly.

@Im Jinah (Nana) Godfrey had been teaching all day, and it had been tiring. It was always difficult teaching bloodthirst control to a bunch of newborn vampires. All they wanted to do was bite anything that came into their sight, and Godfrey had to make sure that they could at least control it to be able to get through the school day okay. It didn't help with the humans that were always walking right by the classroom door. Ugh, if only they could just listen to him and actually try to control their thirst.

After the day was over, he had a couple of hours of time to spare, and so headed down the underground part of the academy. Not many people came down here- it was quite cold and lonely after all, but that was what Godfrey had wanted at that moment, just somewhere to relax without students bothering him. He walked down the stairs, however a particular scent crossed his nose and he smiled. A human. He didn't usually just feed on anyone, but this girl smelled especially good, and he was tired and hungry. He crept up behind her. "Its cold, right?" he smiled, seeing that she had crossed her arms over her chest.

@Godfrey Gao Jinah finally had free time off her busy schedule, no thanks to the students who seemed to have the knack of getting themselves injured every minute, and decided to explore the school. Being of a Human species, there were certain off-limits places that didn't put her off. She just wanted to go in and see what it was like. And though, she always equipped herself with weapons meant for different kinds of creatures in her small pouch that was slung around her waist with many compartments. Not only the weapons, but the antidotes to the creatures' wounds, provided that they would not hurt her, and also for herself & the Human species.

She paused at the sign that pointed downwards to the basement and it got her so curious. There were many areas listed underneath the name and to be honest, it sounded like something only werewolves would be likely found. Shrugging the bad feeling off, she descended down to the basement and she chose the underground. The cold air brushed against her bare skin and goosebumps appeared where the air touched. It was dim down there as well but it was visible enough to move around. "Woah.. It is really.. quiet..", she muttered to herself, crossing her arms across her chest to keep herself warm.

@Xi Luhan His final words were more like knives slapping Bom's heart making it stop beating. What fun was he talking about and what fun would be that much painful it was something Bom didn't understand and didn't want to understand. She was frightened even by the thought of what the other girl has suffered so far. 'run' she was screaming in her mind hoping her legs would move but once she tried to make a step she fell to the ground which made her think she would be the next prey or even worse that he might torture her endlessly like what happened to her the past two years. Her tears started to fall down like rain as if she never cried before. She curled up in a ball hugging her knees not wanting to look up at him. She wanted to leave but couldn't and the only way was to pretend she never seen anything and hide in a corner. "please ....no......don't hurt me....I'm sorry....I intrrubted you.....I....I was just curious about the place here" she said her tears still falling hoping he would leave her alone and go back to his own business.

@Park Bom Luhan pursed his lips together; his eyes glinting with excitement. Oh, fear was better than anything. Fear was better than any old blood or pleasure. And the fear that radiated from her pleased him - he felt fairly content. The wide, mocking, grin on his face never faltered. Really, she had no reason to be afraid - She was a student in the school and she couldn't cause her too much harm or he would have to face the consequences. He doubted anyone would mind if he played some mind games though. He generally liked mind games - he liked seeing the perplexed looks on people's faces. It was amusing - no matter how wrong it was. He knew he was absolutely callous, twisted to think in such a way. But no one could really blame him after all. He was a demon. And that's just what they seemed to do. He liked to think of hurting people a way of maintaining contact with the outside world, as well as isolate himself further. He didn't need any of what they had. It was all so petty - loyalty, friendship and love.

"I dragged her?" Luhan raised a brow, "That's where you're wrong. I didn't drag her. She wanted to come with me for a bit of fun". He shrugged, smiling. "You know, you and I could do exactly the same. If you're not scared, we could take this somewhere else, preferably in the bedroom".

He doubted she'd agree - but why not try his luck.

@Xi Luhan 'a very bad demon' that was what Bom thinking while watching the other's anger appearing and becoming more clear. Still she didn't know whether to run for her life or stay for curiousity Bom was completely lost in her thoughts not realising that he was really close to her and he was like a giant tree for her that she couldn't look up at him. She nodded then quickly shoke her head mintally cursing for showing her fear to him. "W-Why wouldI be S-Scared?" She stepped back and looked at his darkened eyes "You were taking her life...she didn't run because you dragged her" Tears started to build up in Bom's eyes loking at the poor girl and then back to him. She really wanted to run but her legs had a mind on their own and didn't move but started to give up on her that she would fall any moment.

@Park Bom “No ,” He abruptly growled.

What left Luhan dazzled just a little bit was that she kept her stance. He partially wished to pick the girl up by the waist and dump her outside so he could finish his business – yet that would be too immature and hasty for Luhan. His eyes flared with frustration and anger; a swirling darkness in his eyes. It could be said that he got irritated slightly too easily. If one wanted to be murdered, all they needed to do was provoke Luhan, even if were just for a tad of a second. Luhan always returned his annoyers with a lesson to never go within five meters of him again. And they always paid heed to his lesson. He was in such a volatile state that perhaps even teaching this girl that lesson was in consideration. Yet that would take too much of his effort and time, especially when his dying prey still could abscond and break away from the special area he had reserved for her at the corner of his eye. He turned to face the girl once more. He could tell she was frightened. All he really needed to do was scare her until she broke. Maybe she could become useful to him.

“Aw, the little girl is scared,” He teased, a wicked grin breaking onto his face. “I wonder how many more seconds it’ll take for her to run…” He condescendingly spoke, his taller body looming over hers. He was in the mood of the intimidation now – this would be fun.

“Do you want to see what happens to girls who don’t run?” He asked, tilting his head with a malicious smile hammered across his pale face. Without awaiting her response, he lifted his index finger towards the withering woman leaning against the rocky wall.

@Xi Luhan Bom watched the creature moving towards her still having the sane scary look in his eyes . She glanced at the girl at the corner then the realization hit her, it sure was a demon . Mentally Bom cursed herself for itrrubting a demon's meal and since she is a cat an idea crossed her mind that he might go crazy and decides to make her his next prey. She stepped back once again but his face was inches away from hers that she felt her heart racing of fear. "you're a demon, right?" Bom said as she took few steps back making her hands into fists as she tried not to sound scared for him. "I'm not looking for warewolves and you don't own the place to have the right to tell me whither I can come here or not" few cold sweat drops started to fall down her forehead even wild cats like her would be scared of wolves around. Bom was more than scared at this moment but still her curiousity didn't give her the chance to think about leaving or letting the other notice her fear and she just stood there.

@Park Bom Luhan had several plans of action; he could snap at the girl bitterly in hope that she would exit the vicinity and step away from him, he could scare her off by giving her an in depth description of what actually he was (he was quite surprised to see she hadn't already guessed what he was and sprinted), or he could gently coo her away from him (like he had cooed his latest girl here). He mentally considered his options for detached moments and decided on scaring her away as it would end the quickest. Or so he hoped. His eyes were still a bloody red as he glared at the stiff girl. His vision was slightly impaired, the redness overwhelming his eyesight, but he was still able to see she was a decent looking girl, quite attractive actually. Too bad he had an unfinished meal and possibly a dead corpse to eradicate. He glanced over at the girl he had deposited in the corner of the room, her erratic breaths ragged and uneven. Looking at her from this perspective was distasteful. However, as usual, he showed no sign of distaste and turned to challenge the ‘real’ problem.

She honestly looked like she had never set off in the underground before. Ever. He wondered if she was human – perhaps he could con her to become one of the pawns in his oh-so amusing, but futile games. The underground wasn’t meant for people like her – it was a haven for people like him. For monsters like him. He wiped his sleeve once more, getting rid of the final droplets on his face and advanced towards the girl in two small steps.

“It’s none of your business,” He growled, his face only inches from hers.

“What are /you/ doing down here? If you’re looking for some werewolves, you should come back during full moon. They’ll be plenty that are willing to devour you then. I’d be willing to, but I’m happy to feed you to the wolves”.

@Xi Luhan Bom tried to find the source of the noises and she walked towards the sound careful not to make any sound . At three corner at the end of the passage that was to her left there was a girl trying to escape someone's grip it seemed like an unknown creature to Bom. Watching the beast as she referred to him he was holding the girl as if killing her by taking the life out of her. Bom was scared by the surprise of seeing such scene that she just froze there . Her curiousity took over her again and kept watching each move that beast did until the girl went to the ground and the beast was moving towards her with a blood drop on the corner of his lips. It was scary with the red and angry eyes he had. Bom took few steps back "what are you?" she asked in fear yet curiousity.

@Park Bom "Be quiet," Luhan murmured under his breath, securing the withering human underneath him with the of his hips and the flick of a wrist. Who dared to interrupt him – Who dared to come to the underground? The area was typically isolated and abnormally desolate; his ideal environment. They preferred the silent aloneness to do whatever he wishes and whatever he wished; as well as not be seen by the temperamental people from above. He had done numerous depraving things in the area, his current actions only evidence for that. His eyes were an eerie crimson red, and so was the human he strangled in his arms. She was stupid for agreeing to come with him to such a suspicious place like this. However, he hadn't put up the whole 'I'm a broken man' act to break down his cold reputation for nothing – and so he successfully managed to lure her away from the public eye. It wasn't that he was not a broken man – he liked to think of himself so. Inevitably, he was a man of many faces. He was usually seen around the school, silent. When he needed something, he'd pull out one of his deceiving acts like he usually did. And when what he wanted was readily available, his eyes would turn blood red.

And right now, he didn't want an intruder.

He clasped his hand tightly over the girl's mouth, to prevent any noise escaping from . His arms strangled her body, keeping her firmly in her place against the rugged edges of the wall. As he waited for the intruder to pass, the girl let out a high pitched yelp. Oh, how he wished he could tighten his grip around her neck. And he did – just enough to silence her. Oh, he wasn't that sadistic. He slightly peered out from the corner, and caught glimpse of a young girl. He raised a brow. What on earth was she doing in a place like this? He loosened his grip on the girl and let her sink to the floor, unconscious. He would worry about her later. He quickly wiped the blood away from his sleeve, forgetting a droplet on the edge of his lips, before appearing before the stranger.

@ Xi Luhan Curiosity to Bom was something like blood for a vampire, once she wants to know about something she won't be able to do anything else until she figures out about it. She heard roumers about weird thing happen in the underground area of the academy and she wanted to know what this place looked like and decided to explore the area herself. Making sure that she didn't have any classes or there were any rules that might be broken if she goes there she started to make her first step to the undergrounds. For her it was a little dark but being a wild cat helped her much so she was able to see the rocky walls and the passages that crossed each other almost every where. Bom felt her whole body shivers at the view remembering the places where humans used to keep her to punish her torturing her without any brake for the past two years before she came to this academy. Shrugging the bad ideas away Bom continued to explore the place, for her surprise it was really amusing to imagine how the large buildings of the academy were based on this place. Suddenly her ears caught some strange sounds, she didn't know what they were or where they were coming from because it sounded lich echoing.
