one;

     It was cold, bitterly cold. Eunha had been walking in the cold and dark forest for hours, not even knowing if she's going in the right direction. Her face was chapped from the tears that kept pooling out of her eyes. She knew she deserved this punishment; it was all her doing. She befriended Soojin and kept him hidden in her family's barn. She trusted him, a vampire, and for that her family was slaughtered, and she was exiled.      Eunha should have just turned him in. "Aish, why are you so stupid...?" She silently pleaded that the cold would just take her, she didn't care about living anymore.      She stopped in her tracks, gazing upon the only other life in the forest she had seen: a man. Blonde hair--long enough for him to place in a small ponytail. He was crouched over something, she couldn't hear exactly what that noise was he was making, all that it sounded like gnawing, snarling.      It took everything in her not to bolt far away from this strange scene, nothing about it felt right, it was all wrong. She took a step back, hoping not to make a sound and announce her presence. She was making good progress, slowly and carefully taking one quiet step away, making sure to steady her breathing, until she hit something.      Too soft to be a tree. "You can try to be quiet all you want; we can all hear your heartbeat."     Her eyes bulged out of their sockets, completely freezing in her place. Now she was not only pressed against a strong and deep voiced presence, but her eyes were also locked with the man who was previously bent over, head now tilted and facing her direction.      Blood smeared on his face, his extra-bloody tongue swiping his lips to catch the excess. He had blood all over his face. Her whole body ran cold. Her eyes trailed down to the half-eaten and mutilated body of a doe.      Eunha gulped, looking around her to see not one, or two, but several men--all dressed in clothing that definitely wasn't from this era--surrounding her, she didn't get an exact head count, but it was enough to make her want to run. No matter how much she knew she couldn't outrun them.      She knew exactly what they were, vampires. The whole reason she is in this stupid forest to begin with. Her fear slowly turned to anger as her blood boiled, and her face got hot as it stained red.      The being behind her took a step back before looping around the front of her, making them face to face. This man was tall, very tall. Almost a whole foot taller than her. His hair was a pitch black.  "It's okay sweetheart... we aren't going to hurt you~"      With the last word leaving his mouth, she lurched to her right and ran right between two of the shorter ones, but she couldn't get by fast enough. One grabbed her arm and yanked her into his chest, earning a yelp from Eunha.      "No! Get away! I know what you are..." She didn't use much force, as she knew she couldn't beat any of them, but he still let her go which allowed her to gasp and fall down onto the snow-covered ground.      "And what exactly is that.. hm?" The man who had previously been chewing on deer flesh, had now turned his full attention to Eunha, standing before her.      "You're... monsters.." Her voice left her, seeing just how close he was to her. How close all of them were. There was no way of getting out of here alive. She was going to die; she was going to be reunited with her family. "Please... just kill me already..." She looked down as tears slowly filled her vision. She couldn't take it anymore, she was hurting, she just wanted to hug her family and tell them how much she was sorry for betraying them, for betraying the village.      Her sob was cut short as a cold hand cupped her chin, slowly tilting upwards to face them. Her eyes were met with a work of art: a man with a sharp jawline, shorter blonde hair, and cold eyes. Once hers met his, she couldn't look away; it was like she was in a trance. "Oh darling, we aren't going to kill you... that wouldn't be very fun."        His smirk made her stomach sick. He tilted his head, looking into her eyes as if he was trying to find something. When he found what he was looking for, he smirked and stood up. "You know running won't help you here... but I think we all could use a little game. Go on... if you can get away from us then you're free to leave... but if we catch you..." His voice stopped with a deep chuckle that sent chills running all over her body.     Were they really going let her go just like that? Absolutely not, they were surely messing with her because there was no way she was outrunning all of them. He took a step back and to the side, as if showing her the way. Now that he was out of view, she looked around and finally seen all of them, there were eight vampires surrounding her.      Eunha didn't give the situation much else thought before she stood up, not even minding the snow caked onto the bum of her dress. "Hurry now.. ten... nine..." She took off in the opposite direction the blonde had motioned her to go, she didn't trust it. With her sudden movement, a clap of howls and laughter erupted behind her. It almost made her trip.     Her heart immediately started pumping as the farther she got, the less she could hear him counting.      When she could no longer hear the counting, the voice had made it to four. At this point she was counting in her head and can only assume they are already hunting her.      She didn't look to either of her sides, focusing on each foot in front of her so she didn't misstep and completely ruin her chances, as if she had any to begin with.      Tears pricked at her eyes, while the cold air set them on fire.      Eunha could hear them now, they were to her right, her left, and behind her. All around her, but her eyes never left the trees in front of her. There was no way they were using their vampire speed, they would have already caught her. They are actually playing this game.      They are getting pleasure off just chasing her, knowing that she won't escape even if they give her many advantages.      The heavy footsteps grew louder, heavier, they were right behind her. She tried to dodge them by running around trees, anything she could do to put distance between them. She could do this; she could get out of here.      And that's when she saw it. The tree line. The brightness emitting from behind them, she was almost there. But the hand latching around her arm immediately stopped her, yanking her backwards into the tree beside him, causing her to hit the tree and all air leave her lungs.      The arm was no longer on her forearm, but she was on the ground gasping for air. She rolled onto her stomach, still trying to drag any air she can with her as she slowly crawled to the tree line.      No one stopped her as she pathetically crawled and gasped, they just watched her.     Eunha finally made it out of the forest into the open. She had done it, she made it. But once her eyes adjusted to the sunlight, it all came crashing down.      Then the sounds of laughter burst from behind her, her heart sank as she stifled a sob from lack of air. She should have just gone the way the blonde vampire told her. Instead, she went the opposite direction. "No... no no no!" This definitely wasn't the salvation she wanted. But her fate staring her in the face. It was obviously their home from the laughter.      "It's okay darling, we really aren't all that bad..."      Eunha had recovered from her previous empty lungs, she got up and looked at all of them. "No, stay away from me.." The ear length, raven-haired vampire--the cause of her fits of coughing--stepped towards her with a smirk on his face. She noticed his bushy eyebrows and a small mole under his right eye.      The human took a step back from her assailant, bumping into someone's chest. She screeched and whipped around to find another dark-haired man, tall and screaming intimidation.      Arms wrapped around her front and brought her against someone else's chest. Eunha screamed at being such close proximity with not one but two murderous demons.      The moment her eyes locked with the tall one, her body went limp. She couldn't move at all. She tried to wiggle out of his embrace, but she wasn't going anywhere.      He grabbed her chin, and got closer to her face, his sharp eyes ripping through her soul, tearing everything apart. With a sudden motion, her head was yanked to the side and his nose was against the main artery, taking in a deep inhale. "Doesn't she just smell delicious Hwa.."     A low growl emitted from the bottom of his throat, making her jump as he let go and took his eyes away from her. She was able to start struggling in his grip once she was free of 'Hwa's mind. "Let me go!!"     Her request was granted as she was thrown back onto the snow-covered ground. "You're wish is my command, princess.."     "Why? Why are you doing this?"      "Your village is the only food source around, but we aren't stupid enough to go there and get ourselves caught. Every once in a while, someone stumbles into the forest for us to eat but most of the time we feed off animals."      "So then why not just kill me..?" The blonde with the bloody face smirked at her.      "We've become too weak; we need a constant food source."
