Summary Here is the plan.
chapter six
Here is the plan (Eeteuk explained this to us when the sun rose and we gathered in the living room):
1. Find out who is turning the vampires back.
2. Stop them.
I think he went into more detail than that, but those are the basics.
Thus, that night I find myself crouched behind the ledge of a roof of a low building with Shiwon and Eeteuk, waiting for some suspicious-looking person to appear as Kyuhyun sucks the blood slowly out of his victim. Kyuhyun is the bait. Everyone said that it's because he's the newest, and, hence, the most expendable; I didn't like their logic, but I couldn't argue with Eeteuk, so I decided to come along. The rest are waiting at home, trying to resist Hankyung's new human blood.
It's a pretty slow night, really. The moon is yellow and only half-full, and the stars are barely visible.
"What if no one shows up?" I ask.
Shiwon shushes me harshly, but isn't the idea to get caught? Eeteuk sighs.
"My knees are getting cramped."
"Shut up, Kibum."
Shiwon is so focused. I suppose he's still feeling guilty over what happened to Hankyung.
"Someone's coming," Eeteuk whispers, his eyes peeking over the brick ledge. "Wait."
Kyuhyun is down there, next to his victim, and I can smell sweet, fresh blood. A man is approaching from the other end of the alley, dressed in black, wearing sunglasses. There's no sun, so I rationalize that the sunglasses are to protect his identity, or something. Something catches the moonlight and glints in his hand.
"He's got a knife!" I say before I can stop myself, starting to rise before Shiwon pulls me back down. The man stops and looks up. He sees nothing.
"Shut up!"
"But, what about Kyuhyun? We have to get down there, now! He's got a knife!"
Eeteuk interrupts, "Knock it off, you two. When I say 'Jump,' okay?"
He doesn't say 'jump.' He says, "Go!" and we jump anyway, falling towards the center of the alley from the roof. My knees pop when I land behind the stranger.
The man stops and turns around. I notice something in his other hand--a vial--but I can't see its contents. Shiwon punches him on the bridge of his nose and his sunglasses crack against his face. The man doesn't even have time to yell before another punch sends him to the ground; he drops the objects in his hands.
The knife clatters as it hits the pavement, and the vial, surprisingly, doesn't break. Something silver and liquid is inside.
"Damn it, Shiwon. I said that I wanted to punch him, too," Eeteuk whines, shaking his head. "Let's take him back to the hotel before he wakes up."
"Sorry," Shiwon mutters sheepishly, slinging the unconscious stranger over his shoulder with ease. Kyuhyun is silent. I look at him and he's got the knife and vial in his hands.
"Kibum, give me your hand." I do. I think that I'm helping him up, after all. But he takes my hand with one of his own, and with his other, he cuts my finger with the knife.
I'm in shock. Again. "Did you just cut my finger with a knife?"
Blood pools onto the surface of my finger. Kyuhyun holds the vial up next to the spilled blood.
"Don't they look alike?" he asks.
"Yeah, ouch." It's all right though, because my finger is all ready healing. I shake my hand and the blood flicks to the ground.
"It's vampire blood," he says about the liquid in the vial. "And from its shade, it's old blood."
