3. Red Eyes

I don't want anything bad to happen to him. I put the jacket I was wearing on Frey and covered her head with the hood of the jacket. I grabbed Frey's arm and ran out of this place. We went through the back lane. I kept running without looking back.

"Leo!"

Several times Frey tried to stop me. But I ignored her voice and kept running. When I wasn't paying attention, Frey fell. I turned around and rushed to help her.

“Leo, I'm sorry,” said Frey.

I suppressed the expression on my face. With a bit of coercion, I tried to smile at her. But moments later we saw some people chasing us. Seen one of them aiming at Frey. My body spontaneously moved to protect Frey.

Bang!

"Leo!"

My left hand was shot by them.Just a little bit, that shot would hit my heart.Even so, the blood flowing from my arm was very heavy.The affected area is very painful.

As I tried to endure the pain, Frey's eyes turned bright red. Her mouth opened as her fangs popped out. Frey quickly moved towards the people who attacked me. From Frey's hand, her hand looks like a very sharp knife. She slashed those people with ease.

I could only see the changes in Frey from a distance.Frey's figure, which I had always considered beautiful, had changed greatly.She looked terrible and seemed to have lost her mind.However, I am still mesmerized by her beauty.

"Frey?" While Frey was silent and motionless, I walked over to Frey. Frey's face looked pained. She stared at my injured arm with thirst and hunger. She repeatedly apologized to me while moving backward. My hands immediately grabbed Frey and hugged her. Frey was very surprised and tried to release my arms.

“Let go of me, Leo! I don't want to attack you!" cried Frey desperately.

Frey then attacked me. She gripped my neck very tightly. I lay there looking at the crying Frey. Her tears fell right down my cheeks.

"It's okay. I'm fine." My feelings for Frey were greater than the fear when I saw Frey. "I love you," I said in a soft voice.

Frey's head moved towards my right neck. Frey's fangs felt very cold. It pierced my skin bit by bit. My neck felt hot, but also cold from the tears. Frey sucked my blood with tears streaming down her eyes. My hand stroked Frey's long hair.

“Leo, thank you,” Frey said to me. Frey's face smiled back at me. Just seeing Frey's smile made me so happy.

All this time I never wanted to know anything about you. All the secrets that Frey kept from me. Despite never saying anything, I noticed something different from Frey. The clues about Frey are different from the others. I just looked away from it all. I Hope Frey doesn't get hurt when I try to express the fear in her bloodshot eyes. “Frey, let's get out of here right away!”

I took Frey away from that place. In my mind, only one safe place for now. I took Frey back to my house.

***

For the first time, Frey came to my house. She just kept silent. She didn't even seem willing to look at me. "Have a drink, Frey," I said as I placed a cup of hot coffee on the table. Frey shook her head. When I asked him if he didn't like coffee, he replied that he couldn't drink something like that. “Something that humans drink.”

"I'm sorry," I said picking up the coffee and bringing it back to the kitchen.

Silence returns. The sound of the wall clock ticking even sounded very clear because of the silence that occurred. I looked at Frey from the kitchen while touching my neck which was bitten by her.

Frey's bite wound was quite profound. Even so, the blood had stopped flowing ever since Frey removed her fans from my neck. Even as Frey sucked my blood, the pain mixed with the warmth. I thought a bite caused by a vampire would be painful. I covered the bite mark with a bandage for now. At least reduce the pain that is still left.

Next, my arm was injured from the gunshot. Even though it was only scratched, the blood that came out was enough that the clothes I was wearing absorbed the blood. I took off my shirt and tried to look directly at the wound.

Frey who saw me looked regretful. She clenched her fists tightly as she bit her lower lip. I quickly moved closer to Frey. I touched her cheek and moved closer to Frey's lips. "Don't bite your lip, you'll only get hurt."

“But I hurt you,” Frey replied in a trembling voice.

"You don't have to worry about small wounds like this," I told him. It suddenly occurred to me that something Edwin had said to me. “In fact, will I also become a vampire because you bit me, Frey?” I asked enthusiastically.

Hearing my question, Frey chuckled. "Don't worry, you won't become a vampire just because I bit you, Leo."

Seeing Frey laugh again made me very happy. She seemed quite calm and no longer worried about the wound she inflicted on me.

Frey volunteered to treat my wound. She carefully wrapped my injured arm with a bandage. Her eyes lit up when she saw the blood that was left on my arm. “Are you okay seeing my blood right now?” I asked Frey.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Frey replied slowly.

“Frey, are you comfortable in that dress?”I asked her when I was about to get a change of clothes.The dress Frey was wearing looked very messy.Some blood was also splashed on her dress. "I'll lend you mine," I said as I searched the wardrobe.

I also told Frey to take a bath so that the blood left on her body also disappeared. Frey covered her lips with the clothes I gave her and said, "Okay."

Seeing Frey blushing a little, I blushed too. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you," I told Frey.

While waiting for Frey to shower, I headed for the veranda. My house is on the third floor of one of the city's apartments. I looked at the street while drinking hot coffee. I didn't see people dressed in black before. Looks like we've managed to disappear from their current quest. At least for now we are still safe from the pursuit of those people.

Moments later, in just five minutes Frey came out wearing the sweater I lent her. The sweater looks a little big on her. "Did you enjoy the hot water?" I asked because Frey showered very quickly. “Yes…” Frey replied.

I immediately told Frey to rest tonight. I gave her a new blanket and allowed Frey to use my bed. “I will sleep on the sofa in the living room. If something happens, don't hesitate to wake me up, OK," I told him leaving the room.

“Thanks, Leo,” Frey replied.

There are many things I want to ask Frey. However, all of that can wait until tomorrow.
