CHAPTER 7

BLOOD DEMON

And like what In-sung said… Questions will lead to more questions….

“How did we…end up here?” asked Sulli “on top of a mountain while we were….hundreds of miles from where we stood just a few minutes ago!” asked Sulli fear starting to crawl up her chest.

This man…he’s….not human.

What kind of super powers was that?

“What… are you?” asked Sulli

Hmm… Minho tried to think of a way to divert Sulli from reality.

“You are not going to say you’re superman, right? And you were pushing me away from the shop because you didn’t want to expose your identity… because that will be a total lie.” Said Sulli, the fear in her chest makes her babble incomprehensible things.

“You are afraid…I can hear your heartbeat.” Said Minho

“Now That’s what’s freaky here!” Sulli shouted. “You can feel my skin even without actually touching me. And now you can hear…heartbeat?!”

“I was kidding about the heartbeat.” Said Minho

“Stop kidding around! At this very moment, I will believe anything you say because I don’t know what to believe in anymore.” Said Sulli

“I am…an alien.” Minho said “Asked to go here by our supreme leader to learn the ways of humans.” Said Minho

“Wh…what?” asked Sulli

“The gravity on earth is too light compared to our planet that’s why I am almost the speed of …sound…right…I almost as fast as sound here.” Said Minho

“And the shop?” asked Sulli “Why is it dangerous for me? And why do I have a feeling that it’s just against me…why is it ok for the other girls to visit you guys every day? While me…you push me away!”

Oh…Right…there’s the thing about the shop.

It took Minho a minute to think.

“Well? Are you fabricating another lie to tell me?” asked Sulli

She’s smart.

And then Minho smelt it…that foul smell of a rotten Demon’s blood.

It’s pretty close by…and coming closer…

This is not a good predicament. The Demon seems to be strong by the smell of it…and hungry by the speed it’s getting close.

But Sulli is here…and it’s not good to expose her to Demons…

“Your name is Sulli… Sulli Choi…isn’t it?” asked Minho

“You know my name?” asked Sulli

“From the wedding invitation.” Said Minho

“Umm...right…” Sulli felt her heart racing at the sound of her name...

“I need you to stay here in this cave hidden. Any sound from outside, you should not go out. You should stay here until I come back for you, all right?” asked Minho

“You are leaving me? In an odd cave…ALONE?!” asked Sulli.

“What I’m going to do, no human eyes should see.” Said Minho

“Please stop the riddles.” Said Sulli

But Minho was gone…like he just disappeared before her.

---------------------------

Minho felt the Demon just a few steps from him.

“Show yourself Demon…you know you can’t hide forever.” Said Minho

“Shhhh….A Demon Hunter.” Said a voice that seemed to come from the underworld. “What a rare opportunity…I’m in luck today…I can finally have a taste of a Demon hunter…and I will become stronger…”

“That is…if you can kill me.” Said Minho “But I have no intention of getting killed today.”

A beautiful woman appeared 5 feet form Minho. Her long black hair is falling to her waist….her skin is white as snow…she’s beautiful…perfect…if only she doesn’t smell so foul.

“How many men had fallen prey to your beauty?” asked Minho

The Demon laughed.

“Do I really look beautiful?” asked the Demon “A compliment from a Demon Hunter…is most odd.”

“A hundred men?” asked Minho

“Don’t underestimate me…I am an old Demon…I have been here for centuries…how can I just live feeding on just…hundred men?” asked the Demon

“And my beauty… it can make men drop to their feet for me…” said the Demon

“That’s because humans do not smell how foul Demons smell.” Said Minho

“Ah…but huma
