"What the..." Noor started but went silent.

Rosy biting on Rahim's neck, drinking blood and pushing him against the wall while Rahim covering his mouth.

When they noticed Noor, they froze like statue.

"Ah... sorry." Noor shuts the door without thinking anything.

The situation was so awkward his brain froze.

"Wait a minute. Did I see that right." Noor muttered confused.

Wham. Opens door again.

Rahim sitting on the couch crossing his leg looking away.

Rosy standing formally afar, smiling, closing her eyes.

"Did something happen?" Noor squinted his eyes suspiciously.

"No, nothing happened." Both said in sync.

"Hmm." Noor steps forward close to Rahim.

The bite mark was visible on his neck. Rahim notices and hides it under collar.

"I saw that." Noor said.

"I got a lot of work to do." Rahim runs while covering his face, blushing.

Noor looked that direction with cringe-filled face.

( Today I am going through a lot of embarrassing situations. )

Rosy tried to slip away from behind but—

"Miss Rosy." Noor said in a sharp tone.

"What." Rosy still closing her eyes smiling.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing."

"I know you're lying. I know you behave like that when something awkward happens." He frowned.

...

.....

"Sigh. You got me."

"Hmm." Noor shook his head.

"Don't you hate me now knowing I am also a..." She looked down.

"Why would I?" Noor cringed.

Rosy looked at him surprised.

"Perhaps I am more concerned about you two. What if someone saw. Imagine Mr Kevin or Miss Jenne..." Sigh. Noor scratching head.

Rosy's eyes teared up while listening.

"You should be more caref...."

"Ack—"

Noor started but Rosy suddenly hugged him tightly.

"Miss Rosy..." Noor whispered surprised.

"No, it's nothing." Rosy looks away wiping tears.

Grrp. Noor's stomach growls.

"Oh no." Noor embarrassed covering his stomach.

"Oh, you must be hungry. Oh my god I forgot. Let me get you something to eat. Hm. Hm." Rosy walks away.

"I don't get it why she acted like..." Noor stood there confused.

Some days passed.

I didn't go to school saying I was sick.

The main reason was Ria and Jenne of course.

Mr Kevin came home for some days, and my intention was to confront him this time.

I really wants to know what kind of person he is.

Noor standing front of the door.

Creak.

"Whatever." He said opening the door.

"Ah Noor. Long time no see. Here, take a seat." Kevin welcoming.

"No thanks sir, I just wanted to have a small chat." Noor said looking down.

"Hmm. Go on." Kevin puts away cigar.

"Why did my father bring me here." He asked sharply.

( I already know everything but I want to hear from him )

"Oh ha ha. For your study of course."

"I already know that but there are other reasons." Noor frowned.

"Other reasons?" Kevin raised eyebrows.

"I know their true identity."

...

.....

Kevin stayed silent for some seconds.

"Noor, do you realize..." Kevin whispered.

"Pardon." Noor looked at Kevin confused by his question.

"Don't you realize how special you are?" Kevin's expression twisted into a psychotic mischievous smile.

Noor froze shocked.

"Your father was a stupid fool who just sold you to me. To save his flesh of course."

"Huh." Noor looked shocked.

( I already aware of that hah ) He thought.

"Let me tell you a story.

About half a year ago..."

I was traveling along my sweet little precious daughter.

Your father was also with us.

We were protected by 10 armed bodyguards.

What could go wrong.

But then—

Boom.

Screeech, hrrrrn. Clunk.

Car's tire exploded.

The car stopped finally.

"What's wrong?" Kevin asked.

"Sir, looks like the tire exploded. We need some time to fix." The driver said.

The armed bodyguards got out from the other two cars and started patrolling.

Kevin and others stayed inside the car.

The night was dark and they stuck on a road between forest.

Suddenly—

Fsssh.

Thunk.

"Aaaah."

An arrow came from nowhere, hit a bodyguard.

Blood sprayed on Kevin's car windshield.

Other guards alerted.

They raised their weapons confused.

One checked the guard that was hit.

"Sir, he's dead." He whispered terrified.

"Master Kevin, stay in the car no matter what happens. Don't get out..."

Brkk—thnk! "Arrgh!"

Arrow hit in the neck.

Body fell to the ground.

"Oh my god." Noor's father Arman covered his eyes in terror. Kevin froze.

Fwip—THWK—Thud!

One by one fell, hit by arrows from nowhere.

Jenne sitting beside Kevin silent, expressionless.

Kevin shaking.

One guard left.

RATATATATAT, RATATATATAT.

"Who are you?! Show yourself! Arrgh!"

RATATATATAT.

He screamed in terror firing his weapon at the bushes the arrows came from.

"I said show yourse—" fwip.

"Ack, arg..."

Arrow hit him right into the throat.

Body drops motionless.

"Sir, what should we do. We're going to die." Arman screamed panicked.

Kevin froze in fear.

Some people holding burning torches, arrows, and sharp weapons like machetes came out from the bushes on both sides of the road.

They surrounded Kevin's car.

Kevin looked at them through the windshield.

Their faces were covered in black ink.

Mouths covered.

The sharp weapons reflecting the torchlight.

One of them stood in the middle — looked like their leader — looked at another big one among them.

The big strong-looking person steps forward.

Smash.

KRRAAANNNGK.

He punched the door and ripped it open.

Others dragged Arman and Kevin in front of the leader.

"I was paid to kill you." The leader said.

He put a machete at Kevin's neck and was about to swing it.

"No no... please let me go." He begged.

"Oh my god we are going to die..."

The big one grabs Jenne by the hand, drags her to the scene.

But she's still expressionless.

Kevin closed his eyes.

...

...

"I thought I was going to die without knowing who was that bastard trying to kill me. But I had a trump card."

"Trump card?" Noor frowned confused.

Kevin smiles mischievously.

...

...

GRRRRRIP!! → SKRRRRT

"AAAAAAAAAH! ARRRGH!"

A loud noise along with a scream came from behind.

Their gaze shifts that direction.

The big one screaming in pain, his whole right arm torn apart, blood sprayed everywhere.

Jenne holding the arm.

They froze in shock.

Jenne drops the torn arm and then—

Snap.

She snaps that person's neck backwards in a split second.

"Kill her!" The leader yelled.

All of them rushed at her but—

Woosh.

Jenne moved faster than a gust of wind.

FWIP—SKRAAANK!

Fsssh. "ARRRGH! Ack!"

All of them fell to the ground dead, blood spraying.

Kevin looked at the leader with a creepy smile mocking him.

"Ha. Haaa. Ha. Ha." He laughed like a psycho.

The leader panicked while Jenne was butchering every man brutally.

The men who were grabbing Arman tried to run away.

But—

Fsssh. "Aah. Ack!"

Jenne kills them instantly.

Their blood flew to Arman's cheek.

"Eeek." Arman fell backwards hitting the car.

The leader tried to escape—

Woosh.

Jenne was already standing in front of him.

Shunk.

"Ack."

Before he could realize, Jenne already impaled him, ripping his heart out.

"Arrgh." He coughed up blood, still standing.

Jenne walks away silently crushing the heart in her hand.

Kevin got up, grabbing the machete the leader dropped.

He gave him a smile, then—

Swing.

Fsssh.

Drops.

"Aaaaaaahhh!" Arman screamed in terror witnessing the pure carnage.

Jenne covered in blood gave him a glance.

Arman froze.

"Father, can I kill him?" Jenne asked pointing at Arman.

"No dear. He's my valuable employee." Kevin looked at Arman.

"Sir please. Please sir don't k...kill me." Arman stuttered.

"But father, his heart has something a little special. Although his blood would be disgusting because he's a bad person after all." She said softly.

"But if I can devour his heart, there is a slight chance I can get stronger." She added.

"Haaah..." Arman started shaking.

"What? Are you sure dear?" Kevin's eyes sparkled.

"I am completely not, because that guy has done something wrong that contaminated his soul and blood. He's not pure."

Jenne said softly.

"Then I got no choice." Kevin said acting sad sarcastically.

"No... no sir wait!" Arman yelled in despair.

"Hmmm." Kevin looked at him bored.

"I have someone pure. M... my son." Arman stuttered.

"Huh? Are you sure?" Kevin ran to Arman excited.

"Gasp... hah... yes, my son Noor is thirteen maybe a little more, but he is a good and innocent boy. I will bring him to you."

"Hmm. I see. But what kind of father would sacrifice his own son to save himself, I wonder." Kevin frowned.

"Tha... that's my personal reason. I don't care about him." Arman tried to act tough.

Jenne was standing behind silent.

"Sigh. Okay, okay, I get it. But Arman..." Kevin puts his hand on Arman's shoulder.

"Don't try to betray me." He said quietly yet intimidating.

"N... no sir. I would never."

"Then we have a deal." Kevin raised his hand smiling.

"D... deal." Arman replied, shaking hands in front of Jenne.

...

...

"Aaaand the rest of the story you know, Noor. Your father bringing you here forcefully.

You have family issues.

Your parents hate each other.

Also your father is in a relationship with another wo—"

"Please stop." Noor said looking down.

"I understand everything." He whispered.

"Bye Mr Kevin." Noor turns away.

"As you can see, Noor, your father sold you to me, and I gifted you to my daughter. So whatever she's going to do with you is her decision. Don't hate me, son." Kevin said from behind.

"Don't worry sir."

Noor turns back.

"I won't." Noor gave him a creepy smile.

"Aw, I love people who matches my energy." Kevin said excited.

Wham.

Noor shuts the door.

"He is a monster." He muttered.
