Proloog:
Ten years ago…
Pull his teeth out! … hold him!... don’t let him bite you!... Goddamn it, it’s just a child, hit him!...
We have to lock him up!... get a cage and throw him in!
JaeJoong ran and ran as fast as he could. He could hear the footsteps behind him move closer. He looked over his shoulder with a frightful look and saw in his horror that the man with his blood red eyes was not a few steps away from him. The man stuck his arm out and grabbed his shoulder.
JaeJoong fell on the ground and he let out a screech when his body made contact on the ground. Hands grabbed him tightly and pulled him up in to a sitting position. Lips went to his ear and a soft voice was whispered in his ear.
JaeJoong felt how two sharp teeth bit in his neck. His body shocked and his mouth opened in a silent scream. Overcome with pain he lost track of time and conscious and his body went limp. He felt how every energy, every life force was drained out of him and he fell in a deep , col darkness…
The vampire made a face and threw the body of the boy away from him. Disgusted he spew the blood in his mouth on the ground and looked at the limp body next to him. The vampire grabbed the body again and studied the face of the boy. “You are a…” The vampire began but fell silent.
And just, just when JaeJoong’s eyes closed, a third shadow come from out of nowhere. The man had snow white skin, deep grey eyes and was dressed in black. Noiseless he walked to the cruel vampire who was studying his unwilling victim and grabbed his opponent. With a smooth move a soft crack was heard and the neck from the other was broken. The man rammed a stake through his body where once his heart had been and then turned to the still weak breathing boy who lay in a bigger growing pool of blood before he lifted him up.
Chapter 1;
Jaejong sighed and opened his eyes carefully. To his amazement he lay in a strange room in a strange bed. The lamp burned softly on the bedside table. He tried to sit up uneasily but stopped moving when he felt a pain ran through his neck.. Confused and disorientated, he tried a second time to get up and stumbled towards a big mirror in the corner. Breathing heavily, he looked at his own reflection but… didn’t recognize himself… Carefully he felt the bandage around his neck and looked confused. From the mirror a unfamiliar scared looking face was looking at him. “Who am i?” he asked softly at his own reflection and tried to remember.
Who was he? where did he come from? JaeJoong couldn’t remember anything but darkness. “Your name is Kim JaeJoong en you’re a vampire” JaeJoong turned around abruptly and lost his balance. With a yell he fell on the ground and looked with a pair of frighten eyes up at the man above him. “W.. where am i?” JaeJoong stuttered and crawled to stand up and shrank backwards. With his back against the mirror he looked as the man walked slowly towards him and he shrank back even more when he felt a finger caressing his cheek. “I’ve been looking for a long time for you , JaeJoong… you’re home now” the man did a step back. “My name is Shim ChangMin…” JaeJoong tossed him a nervous look and studied him carefully. A pale skin, grey eyes and very handsome… JaeJoong gulped for a moment and felt with his hands on his neck again. “What happened?” he asked, his voice was tiny. JaeJoong saw how a dark look flashed in ChangMin’s eyes and how his lips became thinner.
ChangMin looked down at the scared teener in front of him and felt his anger bubble up. Anger for what they had done with JaeJoong, those people…. Without answering his question, ChangMin opened the door and left the small room. “Come” he said extending his hand for him to take“You must be thirsty” ChangMin looked carefully at JaeJoong and saw what he was looking for. There was a hungry glance in the confused eyes of the boy. JaeJoong did a hesitant step forward and when he realized that he was still too weak to walk himself he took ChangMin’s hand for support.
ChangMin took JaeJoong to a big kitchen and helped the boy in a comfortable chair at the dining table. From the the refrigerator he grabbed two cups with deep red liquid.
JaeJoong sniffed the delicious smell and even before he really looked to see what was in it he took the cup. The smell of the liquid was too good that JaeJoong couldn’t help himself. His stomach began to rumble with hunger and he felt an uncomfortable feeling in his mouth, with his teeth. Absentmindedly, he ran his tongue over his teeth to notice that two teeth at both side of his mouth were missing. JaeJoong heard a strange sound and realized that it was himself.
ChangMin placed the glass down in front of JaeJoong and watched the boy. JaeJoong reacted as if he had been starving and that was concerning ChangMin. ChangMin saw how JaeJoong took the glass from the table and drank it with shaking hands. When the glass was empty and JaeJoong looked like he still hadn’t had enough he shoved his own glass towards him.
Again, ChangMin watched how JaeJoong drank his glass and how his eyes coloured red. “How are you feeling?” he asked friendly and took a seat in front of JaeJoong. ChangMin saw how JaeJoong was looking for words but couldn’t find them. Again there was a dazed look in his and he knew that there would be a lot of questions this night…
JaeJoong sat in the living room and stared at his own reflection in the small hand mirror he had found in one of the cabinets earlier. A boy with a snow white skin, bloodshot eyes looked back at him. Slowly, JaeJoong opened his mouth to look at his teeth. Small white dots were seen where normally his normal teeth must be, as if he was growing new ones. “You a vampire…” JaeJoong thought about those words for the hundred time that night. Was it true? Was he really a vampire?
He looked at his teeth and thought deeply. He had reacted really strange when he drank that strange liquid… As if he couldn’t think of anything but the drink. What had been in the glass? Was it… blood? JaeJoong gulped and shook his head before standing up. He ran up the stairs and towards the room he had woken up in. With a thud he fell on the big two persons bed and closed his eyes as he buried his face in the cushion. who am i? where his last thoughts as he fell in a restless sleep.
a face… a woman was smiling at him… JaeJoong noted that he was smiling back and stuck his arms out towards the woman “…Mom...” Mumbled the little JaeJoong and licked his small sharp vampire teeth. The woman smiled back and lifted him up. “Shall we see if there is something for dinner for my little prince?” the little JaeJoong widened his eyes and licked at his sharp teeth again. “Mummy? Where is Minne?” he asked and searched around him
JaeJoong sat up in his bed and stared in front of him. Was… was that woman in his dream his mother? JaeJoong shivered and let himself fall on the bed. Fighting against the sleep he looked around and it was now that he noticed there were no windows in the room… Too tired to think he gave up the battle and fell back to sleep.
”Mummy? Where are you going?” JaeJoong looked at his smiling mother and had to smile too, as innocent as he was. “You’re going to meet your fiancée, his name is Shim ChangMin and he is like you a vampire prince” the little JaeJoong didn’t understand his mother’s words but nodded none the less.
A door in the room opened and a young vampire sat next to his parents. The boy was only a couple of years older than the little JaeJoong and looked curiously. The boy smiled towards JaeJoong and introduced himself. “I am prince shim ChangMin” the boy took the other boys small hands and shook it. JaeJoong didn’t didn’t react and hide his face in the shoulder of his mother.
“How old is prince JaeJoong?” asked the father from ChangMin and looked appraising at the boy. “He has turned six this year” answered JaeJoong’s father. “An age difference from five years…” ChangMin’s father looked pleased.
The little JaeJoong dared a shy look over the shoulder of his mother and looked at the friendly looking boy.
For the second time JaeJoong sat up abruptly and was schocked. Where did those dreams come from? JaeJoong crawled under the sheets again and hid his head under, not knowing that ChangMin sat quietly in a corner, watching him.
”Run,NOW!” JaeJoong heard how his mother was shouting at hi mand pushed him forward. “Mommy! What happened?” shouted the scared JaeJoong, not knowing the danger and ran back. JaeJoong saw a man in a dark coat pressing his mother against the ground and held a steak above her heart. The steak decreased down with a rushing sound and sank in the mothers body. In front of his eyes, JaeJoong saw how his mother became a pile of dust….
Further down, he saw how his father was hit too and died… the little JaeJoong stood frozen in his spot and saw as the man walked towards him, the steak dangerously pointing at his chest. A second form came towards them both and exchanged looks.
“Is that the child?” yes” it was a short answer and both drove him backwards until his back hit the wall. Hands grabbed him and a cloth was wrapped around his head, obscuring his vision. He felt how something hard and cold was forced in to this mouth. His teeth hurt and when he failed to bite he gace up. “We have the prince of the kim family! Soon we will have those blood suckers where we want them”
The little JaeJoong tried to shout and wanted to cry. He didn’t get what was happening, who these people were. The innocent JaeJoong didn’t even know he was the prince from the entire kingdom and that he was engaged to a man from another kingdom. He didn’t even knew vampire hunters excisted.
The little JaeJoong was locked up, undressed and tied. People above him forced his mouth open. They pulled with sharp pincers and everytime he tried to bite them he was hit. The people pulled out his vampire teeth and left him there, alone in the dark. Without clothes and without a blanket to crawl under. He was an experiment, nothing more , nothing less. The people gave him too little blood and pulled his teeth out, every month again. They drugged him and did test on his weakened body
JaeJoong lost track of time and sank in a deep darkness. He didn’t speak, didn’t cry, didn’t even move anymore. He stared as the days passed by in front of him without realizing what was happening or why he was here…
An unexpected noise woke JaeJoong from his slumber and a door opened. His hands tuck violently and he was dragged along. An alarm bellowed and there was a lot of shouting and screaming “We are getting attacked! A vampire! Kill him!” JaeJoong felt how the unexpected grip on his arm was gone and he was alone… his instinct told him to run…
“NO!” JaeJoong screamed and fell off the bed. “It was just a dream, just a dream….” He whispered to himself and pulled his knees up to his chest. Rocking his body back and forth. JaeJoong knew that what he had dreamed had been real…. Vague memories came back… his mother… the steak, killing her… “No, no no no…” he mumbled and pressed his face against his knees and felt a soft hand landing on his shoulder. “Is it true?” he asked as he looked up with tears in his eyes at ChangMin. “Are my parents killed? Am I really a vampire?”
ChangMin pitied the sixteen year old boy. His fiancée and stroked the tears from his cheeks. “I’m sorry…” was the only thing he could say. JaeJoong sank back and hid his face in between his legs again. “Why?” he asked softly. “Because…” ChangMin began “ the human race is scared of us and wants to exterminate our race, so that they can rule the world…” ChangMin looked at JaeJoong. “Do you know who you are?” he asked slowly. At the questioned look JaeJoong gave him ChangMin knew he didn’t. “You are a prince, JaeJoong. The last one of an ancient bloodline.”
JaeJoong swallowed and remembered his dream in which everyone called him prince. Unexpectedly, something other from his dream came forward. “Are we engaged?” JaeJoong held his breath as ChangMin answered his question. “Yes” “I shall take care of you from now on, if you want to of course”
JaeJoong looked up surprised “My parents wanted me to marry you” he said and looked at the older vampire. JaeJoong thought about his mother, the face who he remembered clearly now. Her smile…. Black curly hair.. his mother only wanted the best for him…JaeJoong looked back at ChangMin and took a deep breath. “Yes, I still want to marry you” JaeJoong heard his own face shake as he answered and looked nervously. JaeJoong then lowered his eyes , too shy to look at ChangMin.
And felt how ChangMin’s soft lips pressed against his own… JaeJoong looked with a jerk of his head up before he relaxed and answered the kiss to make it official.
