Author's Note: This is a really long chapter. And from the previous chapter, I know that this one shot is supposed to be just cut in to 2 parts, but it's really getting longer, I just had to cut it. lol Thus, this is the part 2 out of the 3 parts.   ==============================================================================================     Part II    He immediately jumped off you, and backed away. You can't be. You can't be her. You were dead. Suho was there when you were burned at stake. He shook his head. All his life he couldn't forget about you. The memory of you screaming in pain, while burning of fire! And even with his powers as a vampire, he couldn't do anything at all! But now, you were on his arms, on his bed, and you're human all over again! God forbid Suho, he repented so much when he turned you in, all because of his selfish greed to be with you for a lifetime. You both thought you'll be forever together. You both thought it'll be a never ending happiness. But no.   Even for vampire like him, that's too much to ask for.   "You can't be here. You can't be here." Suho mumbled, running his hands through his hair. It's not helping that he was so thirsty, and now he's restless. He had never thought of finding you after 6 centuries of his vampire life. He had heard of reincarnation, yes, but people said how your soul was cursed and that you'll never come back in this life no matter what; that you'll be in damnation forever, and no one, not even if Suho sacrifices his soul for you.   Suho sat on the arm chair next to you bed, with his hands pressed over his forehead. He didn't know how many hours he had been like that, but he flinched when he feel you stirred awake.   "W-where am I?" You tried sitting up, rubbing your eyes awake. When you had finally took in your surroundings, you immediately backed away, seeing and sensing the danger in Suho's presence.   "P-please! Don't hurt me!" You cried, cowering your head over your arms. By human instinct, you knew that the man in front of you is no where safe to be with. That you'll either just prolong death by fighting for your life, or he'll kill you in one swift move.   "I won't hurt you. I'll never hurt you." His voice croaked from too much dryness, too much longin. Suho exhaled, trying his best to keep his rational self. Sure, he's thirsty and hungry, and angry, but he wouldn't hurt you. He wouldn't dare!   "Please let me go. We're not rich, we don't have money to give you." You started blabbering, tears threatening to fall.  "I'm not after your money," Suho said simply. He too, was choking in fear, in longing, and in regret. So after all those centuries he had to endure, trying to forget your memory, trying to convince himself that the 'eternal' he had promised for the both of you no longer exists. And now, you're in front of him, begging him once again, to spare your life, for him not to hurt you.    FLASHBACK   Suho had moved in a new town for the nth time since he had been turned in. Although he was turned in 5 decades ago, he still cannot fully adapt to this new life. Although it has its perks, like he feels a lot stronger than when he was a human, he doesn't feel a lot of pain, or any petty needs of humans, like constant hunger for human food, or even those sickness that Suho used to curse as a kid for preventing him from getting up his bed. But then, of course it has its disadvantages. He may not be constantly hungry for human food, but when he thirsts for blood, it almost blinds him mad. That's why he had been moving around town so much. He would often try to hold as much as thirst he has, until he'd break loose, and attack innocent people, without even meaning to. And that made him despise himself for quite some time. But then, he moves on. Just like every one else.   Although for 5 decades, he had managed to adjust a little to control his thirst, but there are still times when he'd be blind by this forbidden thirst.   Suho had been living in an old couple's attic, without them knowing, at least what he is. The couple knew that someone lives in their house, and that the husband was smart enough to tell his wife not to disturb it, and even up to the extend of regularly giving Suho a small but hefty amount of human food as an offering. It was the time of the early eras in which all kinds of unworldly creatures roam freely around the earth. Humans know of this fact, and thus all of them are wary of their safety. And Suho, having grown attached to the couple who had been nothing but kind to let him live in their house, ensures their safety from the other creatures by giving them his scent, so no one can ever touch them.   It was that, one autumn day, Suho was lazing around his attic. He just had finished half the raw pig's torso that the husband had set for him as an offering. By this time, the couple must have knew that the creature who lives under their roof prefers raw meat and the more blood in it, the better. Suho can't wait until it falls night time. The less people outside, the more he can freely roam around. It's not that he's afraid of the sun, he just didn't want people to be familiar with his face. Vampires' beautiful and extraordinary facial features are easily remembered. Of course, compared to witches' and werewolves, no one would beat vampires' in terms of physical appearance.   Suho whistled to himself as he stepped out of the shadows. There aren't a lot of people left on the town. People are closing their shops, Mostly men are left outside, hurrying to get to the safety of their homes.    Suho was just wondering around, when suddenly he sensed a wasted drunkard man on the alleyway. No one seemed to be paying attention to him. And the monster instinct inside Suho tells him to quickly finish him off and no one would knew he was gone. But before he could even jump on the man, he heard a familiar cry.   "Please! Help me! My wife is giving birth! Please!" The man begged random people he met on the streets. It was the husband who had been kindly serving Suho for the past months. They needed a midwife to assist the wife in giving birth. But whose sane man would let his wife or daughter be out of their house in this time of the day?   "Please! My wife will die with my child! Please help us!" The husband begged.   Suho carefully approached the man. The husband flickered his eyes on him, of course he didn't recognize him. Not once did Suho made his existence known to other human beings, only to his preys. The husband begged Suho, just like what he did to other people. After all, Suho is the only one who paid attention to his cries and begging.   "Where is she?" He only asked, despite knowing well where their home was located.   ~   Suho's extreme control and patience was tested when he assisted on giving birth to the wife. It has so much blood, and it took all his strength not to devour both the couple and the new born baby right then and there. When he was a very young boy, still human, his mother was a midwife, and they'd go from house to house and assist women in labor. He just needed to remember how his mother used to do it, just to save the wife and her yet to be born child.    The husband and wife was grateful for a lifetime to Suho. Although he was still amazingly awed at how much trust the couple had given him, despite not knowing what he is and what he is capable of doing, the couple even offered him everything, even up to the extent of serving him for a lifetime. Suho then knew that it was time to move on to another town. But not without leaving his scent around this family as a protection, and not without the promise of going back to see their daughter grow up in to fine young lady.   END OF FLASHBACK   Suho had been silent all the while while he watched you meekly poked on your untouched human food. His place was sleek and modern, just like the usual grande bachelor's home in the magazine or in the TV you've often seen. For a moment, you're afraid of what he'll do to you. So you can't express how much relieved you are when he didn't do any advances on you. Heck, you'll give him all your things, just not yourself to him.    You didn't have any idea where your food came from. He didn't have a personal cook, or at least you didn't see anyone in his house, and you looked at his plate, he has nothing but a raw meat and thick red wine on his glass. You shuddered when your subconsciousness asked you if you're sure it's really a red wine.   "Did you not like the food?" Suho asked, bringing his arms down from being propped on the table. He put on a show of carefully slicing the meat, and putting a forkful of it to his mouth. You blinked at him, and forced a little of the mashed potato to your mouth. You almost gawked at how exquisite it was!   You heard a light chuckle from his direction, immediately feeling embarrassed. Were you that obvious? You realized you've been starving all along.   "It's delicious. Thank you." you said, suddenly feeling so shy. "There's more of that, if you want. It's not poisoned, so eat a lot.' Suho said kindly. You nodded and you tried pushing those strange knots away from your stomach while you savor the food. You didn't want to meet Suho's eyes, so your eyes wandered around the place. You nearly choked when you saw that it's 5:30 in the morning already! You needed to get home by 6 if you wanted to make it to your class at 7am.   "I need to get home." You suddenly stood, making the black chair screeched along the marble floor.  "Stop." Suho said, in that calm and most charming voice he has. But the way he commanded you made your heart drop and the hair on the back of your neck stood up. You turned back to him, and looked at him, pleading. "Look.. mister.. uh---" Suho didn't even bother helping himself tell you of his name. "..um Mister. Thank you for the food and all, but I need to get home. My parents must be worried about me, and I have to be in school in a couple of hours." You explained. You waited for him to say something again. Heck, you didn't even know why you're still waiting for a reply, whether he'll let you go or not, but for a few seconds, you return
