Chapter 16:


Steve has asked Jian not to tell anyone about this incident, even to his daughter. "May I inquire on why?" Jian asked politely, sitting next to him inside the limo. Mr. Gou was taking them home.

"Well, think about it. Everybody will think we're a nutcase, here." Steve answered, wiping the vampire blood off his hands. "Oh. But, you teach vampire mythology at your school in America"
"Yes, I do, but many already think I am."

When they arrived at home, Jian was surprised to see a young man with Ling in the library room. "Who's this? What is going on here?" Jian demanded, staring at this stranger. Ling approached him, telling him to calm down.

"Calm? I am calm! Young man, who are you?"

Ling told her father about everything. She told her father on how Jin saved her life from an on-coming car. "The driver must've been drunk," she insisted. Jian managed to relax now, after hearing Jin attends the same school with her. "I'm terribly sorry for my rudeness," Jian says, approaching Jin. Ling released a sigh of relief. I thought he was going to attack him! She says to herself.

The men shook hands. "I'm Jian Xiaoyu, Ling's father. Please, would you like some tea? How can I repay you for rescuing my daughter from this kind of danger?"

What a hospitality! Ling never seen her father act so kind and gentle like this before. Jin insisted that everything is fine and that he did not want anything else. "Where do you live?" Jian asked. "I live in a small apartment, few blocks away from our school," Jin replied.

Ling glanced at Steve. He had a confused expression on his American face. We were speaking in Cantonese. "I apologize for interrupting, but I'm going up to my guestroom," says Steve. Jian nodded. "Good night, Mr. Fox."

It was getting really late now. Darkness already consumed the sky, feeling it with endless diamond stars. "Jian, since it's late, why don't you sleep in our guestroom? We have plenty of guestroom," says Jian. Jin wanted too, but like a tradition, every guest usually become modest and rejects the idea. "I couldn't sir," he begins.

"No, don't be silly! Please, follow me. We also have spare pajamas. I'm sure we have a size that will fit you."

Ling watched her father force Jin upstairs. Jin looks back down at her. She looked away, smiling and blushing. He's gonna sleep here tonight!

Ling undressed and put on her nightgown and crawled onto her bed. She left the patio doors open once again. She enjoys having the cool breeze blowing in her room, and watching her silky curtains dancing. Jin' guestroom was few rooms down. She could hear her father talking to Steve in the next room. I wish it were Jin in that room, she said. Although she could hear their voices, it was too muffled to understand. Of course, I can't speak English very well.

Eventually, Ling turned out the lights. Thank goodness there's no school tomorrow. That means she could spend the next day with Jin! She would tour him. The girl smiled as she closes her eyes, pressing her head against the comfortable puffy pillows.

As the moon slowly crossed the night sky, the Xiaoyu family and their guests were slumbering peacefully in their own beds. Well, that's the Xiaoyu and Mr. Fox thought. Jin became thirsty for blood. His first intention was too drink Ling's blood, but resisted. I'm going too fast, I must slow down, he says to himself, sitting up. Oh, how badly he wanted her. To embrace her in his strong powerful, but dangerous arms, hold and kiss her, and never let go of her.

Instead of harming anybody, or even Steve (he knows Steve is vampire hunter. He read their minds), Jin went out the patio. It was still night, and very quiet. He could hear Ling's heart pumping in a fast speed. She's dreaming again. He smiled. How can that be possible? You may ask, remember that Jin is a vampire. He can hear lot better than an average dog!

In order to satisfy his thirst for blood, he went into the city.

He has transformed himself into a normal and boring young man. He didn't want to be noticed at all. He walked the night alone in the busy streets. Well, it's not as busy as it is during the day. Stupid daylights. If it weren't for that annoying sun, I would be dominating this world right now! Even though the sun doesn't harm him, it weakens his supernatural powers.

An on-coming young man was walking towards him, with his head down. His clothes were dirty. Jin knew he is a hobo. Yuck. They have dirty blood. I need fresher food. Jin rejected the hobo who passed without looking at him. Jin continued his hunt. Time is running out. Jin begins to feel his body shake a little. I need food!

Eventually, he found a perfect victim. A prostitute. She was inviting herself to be taken. But most of the men she has offered rejected her and continued on with their business. "Fine, go to hell!" she scorned at them. "Get a real job, lady!" one man scorned back. The poor girl scoffed and started walking anywhere. Jin smiled.

Jin followed her for awhile. She isn't as dirty as the hobo he encountered earlier. Even though she was quite dirty, he felt sorry for hera little. He could tell this girl had a miserable life since she was born, and that she wanted to die. I want to die, now! She was saying to herself. Jin was surprised to see her turning into a dirty alley. Where was she going? He followed her quietly into the dark alley. Few rats scrambled away behind few trash cans, squealing, as she was passing them unnoticing.

After walking for awhile, Jin lost patience and made a noise to tell the girl that she was being followed. The prostitute gasped and turned around. "Who the hell are you?" she demanded, feeling uneasy. The stranger she glanced, is handsome. Probably the most beautiful man she'd ever seen. "Are you lost, my dear?" Jin asked gently, still walking to her, but very slowly and smoothly, as if he were floating.
"No. Are you?" she asked, brushing away a strand of her raven hair away from her eyes. Jin stepped into the light. He certainly is beautiful, she says to herself. The girl saw him smiled.

"What are you smiling about?" she asked, feeling tense. Jin hesitated and spoke, "are you still looking for a man to satisfy your night?"
"What do you mean?" the girl sneered. "You know what I mean. Perhaps I may help you"

Chapter 17:


The next day, The Xiaoyu family was down at the breakfast table with their new guest, Jon Mujuro. During the conversation, Jin notices Steve glancing at him suspiciously every once and awhile. Jin knew very well what Mr. Fox was thinking. You look so familiar in my vampire book.

Even though Jin is a vampire, he enjoys what human eats. Jian has invited Jin to attend the Xiaoyu's Annual Party (XAP) tonight. "May I ask what is it for?" Jin asked politely. "Every year, we get together and celebrate many years of success and happiness," the father answered with a beam. "I would like you to be our honored guest." Jin glanced at Ling who smiled at him. She was saying, please come! Jin smiled back and finally spoke: "Thank you."

Jin protested that he doesn't have fancy clothes to wear for this elegant party tonight. Ling insisted that she'd take him into the city and buy him a nice tux. "Oh, I simply can't let you do that," he protested again, being humble again. "Don't be humble! It's my treat," she says.

When Jin heard the word, "city" last night hunt came flooding back into his mind.

I killed the girl. I had her against the wall, forcing her to keep quiet and she won't get hurtwell, she did, but not as painfully as I would do to my victims. The poor girl was sobbing softly as I was taunting her with words. "I read your mind. You wanted to die. Why are you suddenly changing your mind?" I asked her, still taunting her. "Who-who are you?" she cried softly. I could smell her fear just by standing next to her. It annoyed me. I hate smelling fear! I rather see my victims try and save their life.

"I am your worst nightmare," I answered. I brought my fingertips and rubbed it against her bare neck. The girl shut her eyes, begging to be free from her mind. "You're begging me to let you go," I said. "No, I mean, yes! Please let me go!" she cried. The tears, I looked, ran down the side of her face. I felt her body tremble. What's more, I could hear her heart pumping fast against her chest, and her muscles tightening. This girl is certainly terrified.

Whenever I kill my victims, I would get excited. But this girl made me wonder and think. Should I let her go? If I do, my life can be in danger. I wouldn't like it. I glared at her and said, "I'll help you. Would you like to die painfully or peacefully?"

The girl gave me a strange look, but also a terrified expression. "Answer me!" I demanded, gripping on her neck even tighter. "Peacefully!" she cried.

I bit on her neck, my teeth digging into her flesh, and start draining away her blood, taking her life, and ending her miserable vitality. The girl cried out, but did not struggle to escape my embrace. She curled her fingers around me, trying to get used to the pain. How precious her blood taste between my teeth. So sweet, sweeter than Chris. This time, she trembled even more as her blood escaped her body and into mine. Eventually, her heart slowed and finally stopped. Her clutches came loose. Her eyes were still opened as I let her body fall to the ground. Instead of getting rid of her body, I decided to play cat and mouse with the police.

I licked the blood around my mouth with my red tongue and sighed. I felt strong again. No more feeling weak, or having my body shake. The girl lay lifeless, staring up at the night sky, as if counting stars. I left her body in the alley to rot, and went back to the Xiaoyu's palace.

"Jin?"

Jin shook his head and glanced at her. "I'm sorry?"
"Let's go now. Mr. Gou will take us into the city." Ling says. "Are you all right?" she asked. Jin smiled and answered, "yes, I'm all right. Thank you. How can I repay you?"
Ling laughed. "You need to loosen up! It's okay! Really!"

Lei Wulong passed the guards and stares at the corpse. A moment later, after investigating, he says, "girl found dead. She expired sometime around midnight last night. Her body is colder than it should be. A Surgeon will do an autopsy on her," he says to himself. "There are two wounds at the side of her neckjust like Chris."

Back at the police station, Lei called Jian and had ordered him to come back here for another interrogation.
"Am I under arrest?" Jian demanded over the phone. "I have nothing to do with that murder!"
"I know you didn't, but the girl died nearly the same way as your colleague. Please come down here ASAP. If you don't show up, then I'll show up myself!"

When Mr. Gou came back, Jian demanded him to take him and Steve down at the police station. "Detective Lei Wulong thinks I'm involved with this murder!" Jian scorns, getting inside the limo with Steve. Mr. Fox has a strange feeling that the skeleton that murdered Chris might've attacked this girl.

"Who are you?" Lei demanded at Steve when they finally arrived. "I don't speak Chinese"
"Um, may we talk to you privately?" Jian asked politely, trying to calm Lei down. "Aright. Let's go."

Jian explained what happened last night, with Steve's permission in English. "I'll give you a damn proof if you don't believe us, detective," says Steve. "How the hell are you going to do that?" Lei sneered. "Leave the girl's body in the morgue for few days. Vampires can't last a day without blood. She's now a devil's demimondaine. "

"A what?" Lei cried. "A devil's concubine. She's a vampire. The girl has two bite marks on her neck. I'm sure she doesn't have any blood in her."
"Well, that girl was probably attacked by dogs"
"Dogs don't suck blood," Steve corrected him. "Not even hounds of hell dogs."
"Shut up! The results should be in pretty soon. You want me to believe that Chris rose from the dead and tried to attack you?"
Jian and Steve looked at each other for a moment, then back at him. "Where is his body?" Lei demanded, crossing his arms across his chest. "We, um, burned it." Says Steve quietly. "It's a ritual thing that we must do if we want to get rid of vampires."
"Oh, shut the hell up with the vampires! They don't exist! You don't have any evidence!"

"They do exist. Can you explain to us why the girl died exactly like Chris? I'm telling you! There was a skeleton in the tomb he found and now it's gone! I'm blaming that skeleton. It's alive. It's a vampire!" Jian shouted. Steve told him to calm down. "I bet that girl doesn't have blood in her!"
"Well, only one way to find out," says Lei. As if on cue, there came a knock on the door. "Come in." Lei called. A woman entered and gave him the results. Lei read it carefully, then glanced at the sitting men.
He sighs and said, "this girl died from blood loss."

The two men rolled their eyes

Chapter 18:


Detective Lei Wulong has demanded the girl's corpse to be left alone for tonight. "Both of you better be right. If you're pulling a prank on me and deputies, I'll have your heads."

Back at home, Steve went up to his room and pulled out his ancient book once again. He turned on a desk lamp and began to turn the pages. Sometimes slowly, sometimes just scanning until he found what he wanted to read. The Xiaoyu's new guest is very interesting. Jin, as he like to be called, looks exactly like Jin Kazama in this book.

Steve found an image of a young man drawn with a lot of cross hatches. After an examination, he became to read the texts out loud.

"A nosforatu of Japan in 1800s.

Living on a farm, one night, his family was attacked by nosforatus. All died but one, their son, Jin, him. He was 23 years old when he became a vampire. Years after years, the young vampire fed on the living, haunting the villagers night and day.

One day, he met a young girl few years younger than him, interested him. The girl was beautiful and elegant. Her name was Yuki Osma. He took her into his arms and gave her a choice to live in eternity with him, or perish. The girl could not refused, for she has fallen in love with him.

The lack of education to be hunter ended her life, though. The vampire hunters have captured the girl, cut off her head, and drove a stake through her heart. They hoped to kill the master as well, but failed. In rage, when Jin found out about this, he became berserk and annihilated the hunters and the villagers. Hoping to save Yuki, the vampire seeks a witch. The amulet has powers to put vampires in deep slumber without having them to starve for blood.

As the legend continues, the curse can only be broken when Yuki returns to the earth and remove the amulet. It's not only her that can undo the curse. Anyone that carries the same blood from her family has the ability to break the curse as well. For those who are not chosen, will feel sudden pain if they touch the amulet.

The witch has placed Jin inside a coffin, and had it buried. No one knows if this legend is true or not. Mostly, we hope this is just a mythology. Some has reported that the vampire has never been in a coffin, nor does this amulet exist."

Steve leaned back and strengthens his arms out, yawning loudly. Could this mystery boy be Jin Kazama? Has Mr. Xiaoyu undone the curse? Steve believes he has edvience that Jon is the ancient vampire. Horrible shit began after Chris discovered the tomb in Japan. Two victims died the same way. The massive blood loss and bite marks on their necks. Something strange is going on, he thought. I must protect the family from this crazed vampireJin.
He's here

Many guests arrived, dressing all elegantly. Jian has hired a music group to entertain his guests. Plenty of exotic food and drinks were available for the guests' enjoyment. Steve was surprised that Jian had Japanese dishes laid out for his guests to eat. Steve loves oriental food. The dishes were delicious. As the party went on, he kept a close watch on Jon, making sure he doesn't harm the daughter. He realizes that this boy hardly left Ling's side. They seemed to like each other more every day. Steve scoffed to himself when he heard the boy's hero story. So what if he saved her from being hit by a car!

"May I have this dance?"
Ling smiled and took Jin's hand and both of them went on a dance floor. As they danced together, they looked into each other eyes. "You look very lovely," he says. "Thank you, and you look very handsome."
Both of them smiled and continued to dance.

As she danced, she begins to think about him. He looks so familiar. It's like I've seen him beforein my dreams.
In her dreams, a man, like Jin, haunts. Not haunting like ghosts, but a haunt that is quite harmless. Ling would be embraced by a monster that looks likeJin. She would get bitten, and she would be consuming blood, taking away souls like him. A vampire he was.

"What are you thinking?" Jin asked, pretending to be clueless, even though he knew exactly what she was thinking.
"I'm just looking at your face."
"My face?" Jin asked, chuckling. Ling blushed. She can't believe she just blurted that out! What a fool! "I mean, it's just that you're soooointeresting."

Jin smiled and touched her cheek with his hand gently, looking deeper into her eyes. As they stared, Ling felt herself being more drawn to him. Who is this young man before me?
When the music stopped, Ling and Jin went to a lonely patio where they can be alone. Outside, the air felt nice. Both of them glanced at the sky, staring at the stars. "If I could grab these stars, I would give them to you," he says. Ling smiled again. "Do you miss your family?"
"No, not really," he answered, pretending to be Jon.

Someone patted Steve on his shoulder all of a sudden. It was Jian. "Yeah, what's up?" he asked. Jian whispers in his ear, "Something is happening down at the morgue."
Steve knew what this meant. That girlthe new vampire is waking up

Jian has requested for an apology from his guests. "Something very important came up. I am terribly sorry about this, but please, continue whatever you were doing. The servants will attend you. I shall be back in an hour or so. XieXie."

Before the vampire hunters left, Steve gathered his supplies first from his room. He shoved the stakes, some garlic, crosses, and a big knife and off they went to kill. Mr. Gou quickly drove them down to the morgue at once. Lei Wulong greeted them. "Somebody start telling me what the hell is going on!"
The morgue was in the basement. As usual, the place became vacant again. Steve told him the same story again.
"These vampire mythology shit is annoying me!" he sneers. "Well, agree or disagree, Jin Kazama is alive!" Steve protested. "Who?" Jian and Wulong asked. "He's a vampire in the 1800 century from Japan. Mr. Xiaoyu, I believe you have waken him up, and now, he seeks your daughter."

"What?" Jian demanded. "What are you telling me, boy?"
Steve explained everything.
"No, Jon is not a vampire!"
"Oh, yeah? Well, look at this picture!" Steve took out his ancient book and showed a image of this vampire that was stalking his daughter. Jian and Wulong stared at the picture. After a moment, Jian implied: "Well, just because Jon looks like Jin Kazama doesn't mean he's Jin Kazama!"
"He is Jin Kazama! It's coincidence. Ever since Chris transferred the tomb to your lab, shit began to happen! Tell me, it's not a coincidence."

"Hey! You guys can take this contention outside! But right now, we have some investigation to do!" Lei shouted over them. Their shoes echoed as they walked down the creepy and quiet hallway. "I should've brought a sweater," says Steve. "It's chilly down here."
'Well, of course. It's the morgue." Replies Lei.

Lei pushed the double door and led the two men in. "Just recently, someone reported that there were some noise coming from here. He said it sounded like a girl laughing. Eventually though, the laughing stopped and never been heard again," begins Lei.
"That's probably her," says Steve, drawing out his knife. Lei chuckled. "What?" Steve demanded. "A knife? You might as well use a gun!"
"Bullets do not kill vampires, Wulong. A trusty stake and a knife will do."
"Yeah, sure, whatever."

Lei Wulong found her corpse box. He quickly pulled the gurney out and all gasped. The bag was empty!
"Um, it'sempty," says Steve, looking confused. "Son of a"
Just then, the double door shut with a loud bang. The men cried out, startled. There she was. A naked female vampire, laughing. She looksnasty and very pale.

She began taunting them, playing with her raven hair, and dancing around. Finally, she stopped and glared at them. Steve drew out his knife, threatening her if she dares to approach them. "What did we say earlier? Vampires do exist!"

"Well, kill her, damnmitt!" Wulong cried.

The girl screamed at them. Her scream is not like a human scream. It was very loud and had a high-pitch tone. Lei drew out his gun and shot it three times. The girl collapsed and never moved. Everything became quiet. "They're not so hard," Lei said, laughing. "Don't be so cocky. Vampires aren't that easy to kill," says Steve. "We must cut off her head, and take out her heart."

"Whoa, whoa, say what?"
"It's true," says Jian. "We must cut off her head. Vampires are undead."
Steve carefully approached her, tightening the handle, preparing for anything. The she-vampire still did not move. "Be careful, Steve," says Jian. "I know, I know."

Mr. Fox kneeled down next to her, quivering with fear. "Do it, Steve," says Jian.

He raised the weapon above his head before taking actions. Just when he was about to force it down, the girl's yellow eyes opened wide with fury. She opens her mouth, hissing.

Chapter 19:


Still the same night, Jin and Ling took off, without telling anyone, especially Mr. Gou. He would contact Jian right away if she did something like this. In the city once again, the couple went to the beach, holding hands. Ling has never felt like this in her entire life. Having to hold hands, feeling anxious, and in love, it is a wonderful experience she's feeling.

They listened to the silent waves hitting against the wet sands as they walked together. Jin liked to watch her hair blowing through the soft breeze. "What are you thinking?" he asked.
Ling smiled and said, "nothing, really. It's great to talk to a guy who isn't my father."
Jin wanted to laugh, but didn't understand her meaning. "What, do you - mean?"
"Well, my father is basically the only man whom I speak all the time. I mean, most of the guys at my school, are still immature, and I dislike immature guys."
"I understand now," he says maturely and smiles. The girl blushes. "You are so different."
Ling wanted to tell him that he looks like the man who haunts her dreams, but held back. She's too shy to talk about her repeative dreams to anyone but Kara.

"I will always be different from any guys you've and you'll met. Ling, may I say something to you?"
"Um, sure," she answers hesitantly. "I find you the most beautiful young lady I'd ever seen."

When they returned, they saw Jian and Steve Fox getting out of the limo. Ling gasped quietly as she saw Steve soaked in blood. Or at least that's what it looks like. "What's going on?" she asked. Jin only had a menace expression. He knew that right away they killed one of his concubines.
Vampire killers! A burning desire to suddenly raid them, strucked him, but not wanting to scare and lose Ling, he had no choice but to hold back his aggression. I'll kill Steve someday

Ling ran into her father and Steve Fox, demanding an explanation in English. "What has happened here? Why are you soaked inblood?" Steve didn't sneered back, but reply, "it's hard to explain, dear. Your father and I"
"Ling!" Jian, who shouted in Cantonese, firmly, "don't talk to us like that again! Go inside." He then stares at Jin. "I'm sorry, but you must go home now. Mr. Gou will take you home, himself. You may keep the clothes."
"What's going on?" Steve asked, feeling stupid.
"That's all right, sir, I can walk myself home. Thank you for the clothes."
"Jin, no! Stay"
"Ling! Inside, now!"

The girl went inside, sighing. "Good bye, Jin. I'll see you in school."
"Good bye, Ling. Thank you all for a wonderful evening."

After Jin disappeared around the corner, Jian sighed, and resumed communicating in English. "I thought he was going to attack me. What can I do to protect my daughter?"

Back at the morgue, they eventually disposed the vampire body by ripping out its heart, decapitating its head, and burning it. Steve finally convinced that Jon is the head vampire. After analyzing the picture, incidents, and the story by Ling about Hwoarang being thrown across the café room, he finally agreed that Jon (Jin) is responsible.

"Well, the good news is, your daughter isn't wanted for an assassin. The bad news is, he wants to turn her into a night creature. Vampires are allergic to garlic. They despise garlic. It may not destroy them, but it can keep them at stall, unless he possesses her to remove them."

"Vampires are capable of controlling minds?"
"I'm afraid so."
"Okay, so what can I protect my daughter?" Jian demanded, losing patience.
"The amulet. All we need to do is have it on its neck." Steve replies with a grin.
"The amulet?"
"Yes. It can put a vampire to sleep. We would have great advantage if Jon fell asleep, because we wouldn't have to fight him to make him defenseless!"
"Great! Now, we need to capture himbut how?"
"We could acquire information about his home from school, and attack him there."
"Yes, but I don't believe Jon is stupid. Capturing him won't be easy"
"Yes, I guess you're right. Do you have a place where Ling could stay for awhile during the termination progress?"
Jian had to think about that for a moment.
"Yes, one of my nephew lives in North America. Do you suppose that's far away?"
"That's actually great! When can you send her there?"
"Possibly the next day, but of course, requesting is required."
Both of them smiled.

In her room, Jian expected to be yelled at, and well, he did big time. "Why did you chase him away! I like him!"
"Honey, my reasons are logical, but really complicated to tell. Please understand me for now, as you'll thank me later on."
"What? Thank you? Are you crazy? And 'really complicated?' What does that mean? You don't like him because he's not rich! You only like rich people. No wonder why you want me to date Hwoarang! I hate that bastard!"
And she throws a stuffed animal at him. He caught it, dropped it, and stormed up at her, grabbing her narrow shoulders and forced her to sit down. "Now, you listen to me! Like I said, I can't explain why I told him to leave. You're going to America tomorrow. I just got off the phone with your cousin, Choi."
"What?!"
"You're going to America tomorrow. I'm going to call Hong Kong airport after our discussion. I don't know when you're coming back."
"Why are you tormenting me? What have I done to deserve this?"
"You did not do anything corruptive. You're just going away for awhile. A vacation. And besides, Cousin Choi is your most favorite cousin."

"This is bullshit! I don't want to go to America, you fool!"
"You can say whatever you want, but your protest and obnoxious behavior will not change my plans."
Ling wanted to hit him. She felt sudden emotional pain. It felt more like a betrayal, sending her away without her request, her permission!

"Honey, I have a good reason. You'll thank me later. Just please, do this for me."
Ling violently brushed away his hands off her shoulders, and looked away. "Like you said, father. My protests and obnoxious behavior will not change your plans. I guess I have no choice but to obey."

Jian sighed and sat next to her on her bed. "I'm sorry. But please understand me. This is not an intention to harm you emotionally. And besides, you're going to America! Please smile for me."
Ling did not.
"I would need your necklace I bought for you."

Ling scoffed, went to her jewelry box, grabbed the ruby necklace, and threw it at him.
"Thank you"
"Shut up!" she cried and stormed out of the room.

Chapter 20:

Jin has heard everything. This is a great plan! He'll have more advantage to get Ling and take her away from her bad father once and for all! His stomach growled. He's hungry. Blood became a necessity. He decided to return to the city again.

A couple was walking down the Hong Kong beach alone. This was a great time. No one else was around to see his menace. He could hear them giggling and talking dirty to each other. They were unaware of what was about to happen. Their last fate is about to meet them.

He pretended to be confused and lost as he called out to them. "Excuse me, but I was wondering if you can help me," he begins. The boyfriend turns around and replies, "sure, buddy. What's up?"
"I am lost. Can you please tell where I can get to Beijing?"
"Sure, you can" before the boyfriend finish his sentence, Jin launched at him. He launched so fast that the guy didn't have a time to scream. Jin made a fist and shoved it inside the guy's chest, ripping his heart out! The girl screamed loudly and began to run away, crying for help.

The victim had a confused expression on his face as he feel down to his knees, dying. Jin looks up, dropping the heart, and went after the girl. The sand kept her stalling, so she wasn't able to get far. When he grabbed her, she tried to fight back, but was helpless. Jin sank his sharp teeth on her flesh, draining out her blood. She continues to struggle, crying desperately to escape his grasp. He could hear her heart pumping fast.

Thump-thump thump-thump thump-thump thump-thump goes the sound of her heart.

The blood that was escaping her life made her grew weaker and colder. She felt tingling feelings all around her body. So much around, that it felt like needles stabbing her at once. Her heart finally gave up hope to survive and began to slow down by every few seconds, until it could no longer work.

Jin has left the body to rot as usual. His fun ways of taunting police officers, FBIs, detectives, and investigators. As he fled the scene, he licked the remaining of the blood around his mouth, enjoying the sensual taste.

When he returned to the Xiaoyu family as in invisible man, he saw Ling packing sadly in her bedroom. He wanted to go in there and embrace her, but couldn't. Not until she arrives in America.

Jin entered her room, watching her closely, observing her body as she moved around. Ling suddenly collapsed on the bed and covered her face with the pillows. How badly he wanted her in his arms.

Downstairs, Jian got a call from Lei Wulong once more. "Turn on the news," he orders.
He does and gasps. "This is a breaking news. Two corpses are found at the beach"
"You must find Jon." Lei demanded.

The next day, Mr. Gou, Jian, and Steve escorted Ling to the airport. "Don't worry, you'll be back soon. America is a great place." Says Steve. Ling did not smile or said anything. Her only reply was looking out the window. Jin followed them by flying nearby. He was so glad to have them rid of her. What a great advantage! "There's a professional archeologist, a former student of mine, can give you a tour around Chicago," Steve says. Again, she ignores him. "Ling! Don't be rude to Mr. Fox!" Jian scolds. "It's all right, Mr. Xiaoyu."

After dropping her off, Mr. Gou took them to the police station once more.

I wonder who's this archeologist Mr. Fox mentioned.says Ling, to herself.
