After the boundary wall was formed, I was forced to join the investigation team related to Mark. My job was to analyze Mark's traces. Whether those traces were real or just a fabrication. Meanwhile, Ethan entered the tracking team, where his job was to track the whereabouts of all Mark's subordinates and Mark himself.
Together with Niel, of course, the two of them are a deadly combination of partners. Unfortunately, until now, the two of them have not succeeded in tracking down any of the given list. Meanwhile, I'm already halfway through my assignment. Of course, I wouldn't be able to finish everything overnight, since I was alone in my team. To be honest, Elle helped me many times, but she was just a volunteer.
Today, the trail I checked was about the trail where he chased Rosalie. I wondered, how could they find traces like this in the human world? Then how many Vampires are roaming among humans? Unfortunately, this time the trail was a fake trail. Since I lost my memory, I've always been near Rosalie. Even if I'm hunting, I take the time to see her in person, making sure she's safe.
When I returned home, I wasn't the least bit surprised to see the hair ribbon Rosalie used to wear in the living room with a spot of blood attached. When I picked up the ribbon, I saw a pool of red blood. It even smelled like human blood, which was very tempting. However, I tried to control myself. I reaffirmed my vision, and saw how Cassandra and Elle were tied together with their entire bodies covered in human blood.
"S-s**t," I muttered.
I couldn't get any closer. It would be hypocritical of me not to be tempted by the smell of blood spread throughout the living room. I was just afraid that if I got closer, I'd lose control. I did my best not to get any closer and stayed where I was. With Rosalie's ribbon in my hand, I'm still trying to convince myself that this isn't Rosalie's blood because I can't smell her blood when I'm with her.
Soon someone came out from behind the curtains where Cassandra and Elle were. Who else if not Mark? I suspected it from the start, but why didn't anyone know he was there? Where did Niel's special powers go? Where is Ethan now?
"Too bad you don't seem to be panicking. Disappointing," she said as she removed something she was holding from behind the curtain. I froze again as I saw the corpse of a man fall through the curtains, revealing his wrinkled and pale face. However, that wasn't what surprised me. The face of that person, I recognized him very well. He, Rosalie's father. This madman before me had just killed Rosalie's father.
My mind drifted. What if Rosalie knew her father had been killed in such a cruel way? What if she looked for her father, and he left her too? I should be worried about myself right now, because I could be risking my life to protect Cassandra and Elle. However, I still had time to think about Rosalie.
"Looks like I brought the wrong person, huh? Maybe I should have just brought your ex-girlfriend," Mark said.
"What exactly makes you constantly think of me as your enemy, huh?" I wondered.
"Why? Why do you think that? You're just the implication of your father's favorite half-blood child. And supposedly, I can also implicate my dead wife. However, your father eliminated all those possibilities," she was upset.
What the hell? Shouldn't she have a grudge against Ethan? Why is he taking it out on me? Who knows nothing? Once again, I realized, because of my implications. It's because of that that everyone thinks that I can bear an inappropriate burden. I was about to take a step, when he finally said something that made my eyes open fully.
"I wonder if Dylan can take Rosalie's heart. It's bad luck that she likes your ex-girlfriend," he said.
What did he say? His son likes Rosalie? What a crazy family, they're really crazy. Regardless of his words, I went ahead and confronted him openly. Only then did his subordinates come out of their hiding places. I'm still wondering. Where are Ethan and Niel? Do I really have to lose my life before they come?
"You chose the wrong path, Jasper."
I saw him, the demons that followed him. Damian was one of them. Thank Brilly for telling me the power of his friends who followed Mark. I know how to deal with them. As far as the eye can see, I can handle it. At least, that was my thought before being stabbed by Mark with his dagger.
"I need your blood to bring my wife back to life," he said.
"S-s*it, what the hell, ugh."
Don't ask me how I was doing, now I know Mark's real plan. The madman wanted to make a clone of his wife. Just like Ethan made me, he meant to eliminate all possibilities. Because only my body could hold the DNA of another clone.
And Mark's intention in stabbing me, he wanted to make me bleed out, and in the end he replaced it with his wife's blood. Damn me, after successfully eliminating all of Mark's men that he brought with him with many additional wounds. Ethan and Niel haven't come yet. . Cassandra and Elle didn't wake up, I don't know what Mark did to them.
"Rosalie would have been so proud to have been a part of your empty life. Too bad you have to go now," Mark said as he pulled out a clear white bottle filled with blood.
I couldn't stand up anymore, I felt so dizzy. If this is the end of my life, then it would be better, wouldn't it? I won't be hurt anymore. Cameron's family lives happily without me. Rosalie with her college life, no one will miss me. Losing someone like me won't leave a big wound for all of them. In fact, I doubt if there will be any pain for them. Or would they be better off without me? I already know what Mark is going to do, until darkness comes to pick me up.

I didn't have time to ask anyone, can Vampires also go to heaven? Am I in heaven now? Why is it so dark and cold? I can also faintly hear the scream of someone I know-Ethan. This is Ethan's voice. Where is he? Where has he been? Gosh, it seems like I'm really gone.
"Jasper! Can you hear me?"
Oh my god, I heard it. Why does everyone have to shout? I can hear all your screams, it's just hard for me to answer, my eyes feel so heavy. My body is also aching all over, the pain won't go away, but I have to force myself to open my eyes. This means I'm not dead yet. It's too bad.
"Jasper! Jasper, you have to-"
"Hm." I growled deliberately, indicating that my life was still inside my body. Just then I could hear the sound of crying breaking out. It seemed to be Cassandra, but. Where did Mark go? Has he been conquered? Why is everything focused on me? I'm fine, you guys should have gone after that crazy guy. Damn, why do my eyes feel so heavy?
What, did I manage to get justice for myself? I thought to myself.
