The Devil’s Bite

Chapter 13

He heard Sofia’s voice calling for a help. 

“What is she doing on that place?” he asked, “Dammit!” He stood there still, thinking if he has to save her. He’s not a super hero but he knew what these two guys might do to her. He’d been reading and watching news about how cruel humans were. About money, s*x, drugs and many other things had been reason why human do such of cruel things. Should he waste his time saving that silly girl?

“Ah!” Sofia screamed.

Yes, he should!

He moved in a very swift way towards where she was. He found Sofia on the floor unconscious holding her own stomach. Someone punched her hard on that part, and thinking about it made him furious.

“Who is that!?” A man full of tattoo on his both arms and up to its neck. This man faced him eye to eye. “Are you going to save this girl from us? You’re alone, man!”

The other one smirked at him.

He kneeled down to check her. “Freak! f**k it!” he murmured seeing her lower lips wounded. It made him upset, and he didn’t know why. He shouldn’t be affected being Sofia’s wounded but then he got. He faced the two in front of him. “You two.”

The guy on tattoo grinned at him. “What a knight in invisible armor—Ah!” He was cut off and thrown up in the air when Demire moved his right palm. It seems like he parting things on the air. The guy bumped on the wall, and the other one is about to attack him. He’s faster than them, but he decided to remain standing on the same position. He shielded his palm and caught this man’s fist about to hit him.

“Humans are humans. Cruel!” He squeezed its fist and glared at the guy. His black contact lenses melted because of the heat his body releasing, the burning red eyes of him appeared that sent the man trembled in front of him.

“D-demons!!” the guy screamed at him, “Ahh!!”

He didn’t let the man’s arm. he twisted it instead until it broke.

“Ahhh!”

The bad man’s scream is music to his ears. He hardly threw him away, and kneeled back to carry Sofia. He lifted her up and rapidly went back to where his car was parked. He had to avoid everyone to see his eyes so he has to move in a very fast way. He leaned her on the backrest of the car seat. Still unconscious and lower lip was bleeding. “Darn!” he cussed, washed his face with his palms. Seeing and smelling her sweet blood was evoking him. It’s waking the devil inside him. Her blood is one of the reasons why he accepted Sofia inside his company, and the rest of the reasons were remained unclear to him. He doesn’t know why he had to accept her and yet he did. She has no idea or any experience in the field of being a secretary, and there are a lot of applicants that day who’s more than qualified to be his secretary and yet he chosen her. That is insane! He always reminding himself it’s only because of the blood flowing in her entire body that captures his attention.

He tried hard to stop himself and started to drive home. There is no safest place he knew to bring her, but only his home. No one should see his eyes or it will ruin his fake identity as the CEO on Goddard company he managing for so many years. He brought her to his room and laid on his bed. She was the first woman on earth that he ever brought to his room and his own bed. Though, there are many rooms inside his house but his feet directed him to his room. This where his feet brought him first. He knew there is nothing bad happened to her. She’s just fainted because of the hard punch she received from the two men. He doesn’t have any idea how the heck she’d been to that place with bastards. He saved her today, and helped her yesterday. Why the hell she always in trouble?

He shook his head. Now, he didn’t know how he will cure her wound and prevent himself be attracted to her blood. He has no first aid kit on his house because he never been wounded and he has supernatural ability, where his body can heal any wounds in minutes. But a vampire who is drinking human blood can heal even faster than he can. A vampire like him who haven’t drink blood since a long time, gets lower ability and less powerful than a vampire that often drinks human blood. He promised himself he will never drink blood again.

He faced the mirror and find his new contact lenses. He has to hide the true color of his eyes from her. He has no power to heal human, so he decided to go out and buy the medicine she needed to heal her wound faster. He went back to his room and started to clean the wound on her lips and apply some ointment on it. “I bet this is enough.” He sighed and stood up. He walked to the bathroom and placed his nakedness under the shower head.

The cold weather woke Sofia up. She slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she noticed was the unfamiliar chandelier on the ceiling. Her eyes widened and sat on the bed. She toured her eyes inside the room where she was. Everything inside was new to her. Where I am!? There’s no word scaped her mouth. She hugged herself, the room was so cold, and the rain was pouring heavily outside. The mist entering the room because of the open glass window, she walked towards and closed it. There were lighting appearing on the dark sky. Sofia pulled the curtain and sat back on the edge of the bed. “Where I am?”

“On my room.”
