A Saving Grace

Tainted Scent Of Rose

il mondo delle tenebre non fa paura

 

The red stains the man’s face. The little boy looked oddly surprised at what he just witnessed. The corpse behind the tall dark man was drowning in a thick red river.

 

The mysterious man the blood off of his fingers. The boy on the other hand couldn’t mutter a single word. The boy backed up and the sound of crunching snow alarmed the man of his existence once more.

 

“No need to be afraid little one” the man said holding out his hand. The boy didn’t mutter a word to him, he was afraid of what he might do to him.

 

The man chuckled and bent down on one knee in front of the boy. The man’s eyes where piercing red as if he could look right into the little boy’s soul.  “Do you know what that man is?” he asked the boy.

 

The boy quickly shook his head.

 

“He was a Vampire, and he was after you”

 

The little boy stared painlessly at the man whom just saved his life, and felt a bit more at ease.

 

“I see fear in you, but then again I wouldn’t blame you after what just happened to you and your family”

 

The boy chocked up again and backed up a bit more.

How did he know about what had happened? And how could he tell if there was fear in me? Thought the little boy.

 

The man held out his hand “Come with me, it is cold out here and if we stay any longer more might appear”

 

Scared the little boy took the man’s hand on impulse, he didn’t want to see another one of those things. they walked through the woods the snow was falling and it was dark outside. Every little creek or snap of a branch scared the little boy.

“Don’t worry; I will protect you nothing else will happen to you”

 

The little boy grasped on to the man’s hand squeezing it.

 “What is your name boy?”

The little boy didn’t answer.

“My name is Choi Seung-hyun, but although I have a Korean name I was born here in Italy; just like you”

They walked along with woods further and further, until they came to what looked like a tiny little cottage.

“From here on out you will live here” the man said.

 

The boy grabbed on to Seung-hyun’s leg as if he was begging not to leave him. “Don’t worry little one, I know the man who lives here; he is very nice and will treat you well”

They walked up to the front door and Seung-hyun rang the door bell. They waited there together before the door opened exposing a middle aged man who was half Korean and half Italian.

“Choi Seung-hyun!” the man boasted. “How are you doing, it’s been so long”

“everything as been fine…”

“Who is this little one?” the man said looking directly at the little boy.

The boy hid behind Choi Seung-hyun scared to make contact. Choi Seung-hyun looked at the afraid little boy and then looked at the man. He stepped up to his ear and whispered something for awhile and when he stepped back; the man looked sad and worried.

 

“Dear god, this cant be!” the man said.

“I am afraid it is true, they are gone”

“Come in! come in!”

Choi Seung-hyun held the little boys hand and brought him inside. The man brought tea and cookies out and sat down across from the little boy.

“I will take care of him, because it is my will to do so”

“Thank you” Choi Seung-hyun bowed.

The man looked back at the little boy, “do you remember your name son?”

The little boy didn’t say anything instead he grabbed the sleeve of Choi Seung-hyun’s shirt and whispered in his ear.

After the little boy sat down and Choi Seung-hyun smiled. “His name he said was Ji-yong”

The man started to chuckle “it seems this boy as grown a liking to you”

“This is Valrence, he is going to take care of you now” Seung-hyun said. “Thank you again Valrence, but I shall be taking my leave now”

Choi Seung-hyun stood up and started to the door. Ji-yong jolted up and ran to his leg and grabbed on to it like his was going to die.

“Don’t leave please!” he begged “Don’t leave me alone!”

Tears started down Ji-yong’s small face. Choi Seung-hyun kneeled down and held the boys face, but this time his eyes weren’t red but instead a normal brown color.

“Do not cry Ji-yong, I promise that I will come see you every month” he said wiping the tears away.

  Ji-yong sniffled and held Choi Seung- hyun’s hands. Seung-hyun ped his jacket then took off a necklace and placed around Ji-yong’s neck.

Ji-yong held the necklace in his hands. It was a iron rose, He held on to it tightly.

“This is my promise to you, that I will come every month to see you”

Seung-hyun stood up again and opened the door. “Please take good care of him for me”

Then he left without another word. The Valrence shut to door behind him “no need to worry, that boy always keeps his promises”

 

And he was right every month Choi Seung-hyun came and visited Ji- yong. Always bringing him presents and such.

Then one day Ji-yong noticed something he hadn’t before. Seung hyun’s teeth. It looked exactly like the man’s teeth of who tried to kill him that cold dark day.

Ji-yong went up to Seung-hyun and placed his finger on one of his fangs then quickly scooted back in terror.

“Whats wrong?” Seung-hyun asked.

“The…your teeth!” he said covering his mouth.

Seung-hyun looked at the little frail Ji-yong “Are you afraid of me now?” he simply asked.

“You mean the boy hadn’t noticed yet?” Valrence asked.

“No he hadn’t, I’ve tried to hide it for this purpose, his traumatic experience is still with him” Seung-hyun sighed. “I am going to leave now, again Valrence please take care of him”

After that Choi Seung-hyun didn’t come months went by, and even years went by. The little boy was no longer a little boy. He was now an 18 year old and had forgotten all about Choi Seung-hyun.

He lived his life peacefully in Italy with his father; he didn’t ever attend school for he was homeschooled with a private tutor.

It has been ten years since the last time he saw his savior Choi Seung-hyun.

 But what lies on his chest was the Rose necklace.
