'There is a possibility that you might be able to find me but you'll never be able to catch me'


It was just another morning in Crystal City. The TV in lounge was displaying some pictures of a young boy and the reporter was ranting about the breaking news.


"Tomorrow evening around 9 a boy around the age of 19 was found in the Crystal Park, his condition was similar to the condition of the victims found in the past few months. His blood was drained out of him and he had strange marks on his neck. The police suspects it to be the doing of some 'Illegal Blood Market Mafia' but there are rumors going on that CRYSTAL CITY is under the threat of blood suckers. Back to you Ray."


"Thank You Nicole. Now we will be inviting Dr. Johnson and Dr. Martin who have been studying about the vampires or blood suckers for over a decade. So Mr. John.......... "


The screen went black.


" Stupid humans "


Said the young man who was sitting on the couch in front of the TV. His skin was fair or pale, paler than any normal human. His eyes black with specks of green shinning in them. His thin lips had a mocking smile, his face was devoid of any emotion. Dark brown hair that fell down to his ear. He tugged a stray strand behind his ear. Long slender fingers coming down as he held his own chin in amusement. A chuckle escaped his mouth.



"You can never catch me, you low race creatures!"


He had the sinister smirk on his face. He got up turned the TV off and went off to his job in the Coffee shop or you may say to find his new target.


....... The COFFEE SHOP.....


The bell at the door rang when that fine young man entered the shop, he greeted the owner Mr. Louis he truly respected him as he was kind and loving towards him. He changed into his uniform and started cleaning, it was nearly opening time. This coffee shop was a small cozy, old fashioned shop not much people knew about it. Mr and Mrs. Louis were the owners. There was only a 16 years old boy Xen Han who worked in the kitchen, a 5 years old girl Xen Ivy both of them were orphans and siblings Mr. and Mrs. Louis took them in as they didn't had any of thier own child. The COFFEE shop was warm and felt like family and Yibo truly loved, respected and cared about these people or in his language few low race humans.


Today was another normal day that's what Yibo thought, he didn't expected this day soon turning into a very abnormal day. The COFFEE shop opened and costumers came in and went away like usual. The bell rang once again, he walked upto the table which was now occupied but his eyes slightly widened on seeing the person who stepped inside the shop.


"What are you doing here, Zeal?"


"We just wanted to pay a visit?"


"We?"


He said not fazed at all.


"Yes! We"


As Zeal said this he stepped aside to give space to the person standing outside.


"Don't"


Said Yibo with hostility visible in his eyes.


The guy stopped.


"We need to talk, Yibo!"



"I'll come out when I feel like talking"


"OK as you wish, you know I never refuse you, I'll be waiting outside"


Yibo didn't even acknowledged whatever he said and went back inside.


Both the guys left the shop. Ivy came and tugged on Yibo's shirt. Yibo calmed himself down, turned around and squat down to Ivy's level.


"What is it small human."


"Bobo, who was that?"


"Just someone asking for directions. Small human will you do me a favour?"


" Hmm.. Anything for Bobo"


"Go and tell Uncle Louis that I will be back in a few minutes, so he shouldn't get his blood worked up?"


"Hmm!" Ivy nodded and ran inside.


Yibo stepped out of the shop.


"What do you want?"


He asked clearly not interested in whatever the matter was.


"Yibo we are friends, is this how you greet your old friends. I feel offended watching you treating us worse than those filthy humans" Zeal said while pointing towards the coffee shop.


"Get to the point, Don't tell me you came all the way here, just to greet me and teach me how to behave."


"You--"


Zeal wanted to to say more but the guy standing behind him cleared his throat, Zeal stopped and stepped aside lowering his head.


"Remember me? "


"Can't help the fact that my memory is nasty good, Lucifer"


"Wow! You remember my name, I feel honoured"


He said bowing dramatically.


"Get to the fucking point"


Lucifer's aura turned dark, his eyes were slowly turning blood red.


"Hunters"


"Hunters?.... What about them?"


"Vampire hunters.... They are bieng troublesome. They have killed many vampires in the past few days."


"So what? It's not something new"


"There's more to it. They have gotten help from inside."


"You mean traitors"


Yibo growled at the end.


"Quiet smart, but you know what...."


Lucifer stepped closer to Yibo, who took a few steps back. Lucifer leaned towards him and continued whispering in his ear.


"They killed my brother"


Yibo's eyes slightly widened. He was taken aback but composed himself immediately.


"Fucking Weakling! You came all the way here just to invite me to a damn funeral"


"Oh No sweetie, I just came to find something"


Yibo raised his eyebrow completely unfazed.


"Found that something of yours?"


Lucifer smiled but his smile was soon replaced with a killing aura.


"Nothing.....Nothing YET, but if I find out you are betraying us..... I'll personally kill you. That'll be your last day on this planet"


Yibo chuckled.


"Must I remind you who you are talking to Lucifer"


Yibo said walking around Lucifer in a circle.


"You are no match to even the flick of my finger. Who are you threatening?"


Lucifer grabbed his arm and pulled him closer. Their faces were inches away from each other.


"Don't make me come here again Heed my warning, Yibo..... Because the moment I get my hands on your weakness, you are done for real"


"Give it all your best and hands off or they will be gone."


They disappeared just like they had appeared. Yibo was worried for the humans around him, whom he consider as something the humans called family. He went back to the shop. Mrs. Louis was waiting worried for him at the entrance.


"Yibo! Dear Are you OK?"


"I'm totally fine. Don't worry just met a friend outside."


"That's good. Yibo if there's anything disturbing you, you can talk to me, anytime you know."


"I know old woman"


"OK, get changed we are nearly closing"


"Alright"


All of the people had went home, Yibo was alone in the shop. He was about to close the shop when he heard a knock on the door.


"We are closed"


"Sir please allow me inside."


"I'm truly sorry but we are already closed Mister"


He said getting annoyed at the persistent human.


"I won't take much long. Please let me in"


'I will also not take much long to snap your neck, talk about prey inviting itself to dinner' thought Yibo and smirked.


"Alright"


"OK ok"


He opened the door but as soon as his eyes fell on the boy standing outside, his heart almost stopped beating. He forgot to blink his eyes. And most importantly he couldn't take his eyes off of the boy's eyes. Those alluring eyes had the coldness of night and calmness of sea and the warmth of love. Those blue eyes had......had.....CONFUSION?


OH he was standing in his way.


"Come.... Come in."


"Thanks I guess"


Something was strange about the boy, Yibo couldn't take his eyes off of him. Only when he spoke he came out of his daze.


"Can I have a cup of coffee."


"Huh!?"


"This is a coffee shop, right?"


"Oh! Sure"


Yibo went inside the kitchen. He made coffee for him and came out of the kitchen, he saw the boy hanging his head low sitting on one of the chair. He was trembling slightly, at first he thought he was just over thinking but he saw glistening tears. And as a vampire he could smell the boy's tears. Perks of having heightened senses.


He walked closer to the boy. The boy flinched and turned around abruptly he was terrified and was... Scared but from what?


"Are you ok?"


Yibo asked monotonously, no worry or concern in his voice.


"Ah nothing just remembered something.....um nevermind"


"Your coffee"


"Thanks"


Yibo turned to walk away but halted his steps, turned around and asked the boy


"Ah I forgot to ask your name"


The boy looked puzzled.


"If you don't mind, that is..."


He turned to go to the kitchen not to disturb the already disturbed boy.


"Zhan"



Yibo felt his feet going cold. His eyes wide open. If someone had seen him, they would've surely mistaken him for a statue.


He slowly turned around.


"What did you say?"


"Zh-Zhan.... Xi--"


"Sean Xiao Zhan"


Zhan frowned as his hands slowly moved towards the inside of his overcoat. But before he could draw out whatever he was going to, he was pinned to the table. The coffee cup crashed on the ground shattering into pieces. A hand choking his neck.


He looked up holding the arm of the attacker with both his hands but to no avail. His eyes met with the golden eyes of the blood sucker. He was glaring at him while holding him down forcefully.


"Impossible"
