Chapter 3 - A Mythical Creature

"... How?"

How can I help her? I must move her to the place I sit before for the time being. I pick up her with both hands and bring it to my place earlier. Then laying down her on the ground. I didn't know what I can do about this situation. Even first aid kit not included in the shopping list. It's my first time to encounter a situation like this.

There are so many wounds on her arm and leg which aren't covered by clothes. I'm not an expert in medical so I didn't know if she has broken bones or not. The worst part is there some wounds that make a hole on the skin. If I look at the state of wounds that still fresh then the incident wasn't long ago.

There is a cut wound here and there. I didn't know who can act so cruel with the child that's so young like this. If the world organization like a UNICEF which develop the Children's Rights found about this. They will make a statement and protect this child from any bad intentions in this world. Even before UNICEF make a move like that, I think some child protection organization in any nation will act before them.

So, how can the child like her being abused like this? Meanwhile, I begin questioning the fairness of the world itself. I remember a quote back then when I'm surfing on the internet.

'Death is the fairest thing in the world. No one's ever gotten out of it. The earth takes everyone - the kind, the cruel, the sinners. Aside from that, there's no fairness on earth.'

Indeed, if I look at her state, death itself can make an end from her suffering. But the word which she said before unconscious makes me think, only in the darkness can you see the stars.

So, even I want to help her at all costs. I can't do anything right now. I'm just a person who is lost in this forest. What I can do right now just caressed her head and hair in the hope it can lessen her suffering or just make a nightmare go away from her. My eyes became glazed with a glassy layer of tears. As it blinked, they dripped from my eyelids and slid down my cheeks. I bit my lip tightly in an attempt to hide any sound that wanted to escape from my mouth.

My lower lip quivered as words slowly made their way out of my mouth.

"I'm sorry... I... can't save you... I'm so sorry."

The tears flowed unchecked down my cheeks and dripped from the chin. The falling tear landed on her nose and it slowly makes a way to the edge of her lips. While I'm still lamented my helplessness, the tear slip away into the mouth of her. When that happens without any prior notice or a sign, she leaps to my body. While hugging my body, she opens her mouth and sharp canines tooth welcoming their dish like a hungry beast. They immediately landing on my neck and sucking out of my blood without hesitation.

I'm still shocked by everything but the reality doesn't care about that and pain from the left of my neck brings me back to reality.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

That's hurt. She sucks my blood like there's no tomorrow. I moved my hand reflexively to push her from my body. But to my surprise, the child who can barely move a while ago possesses a strength that's not possible if you can think rationally. Even with all my strength, I can't make budge even an inch.

I lamented my hopelessness again even though for different reasons. I began questioning the world for their fairness.

'The world may be just want to add my suffering. Fate, I didn't kill your family in my previous life, right?'

Hmm. Wait a bit. I put a serious expression on my face.

'Ah.'

The situation hit me like a truck. Suck on my neck? Pain? Tooth? A canine tooth? Unbelievable strength?

"Are you a vampire?"

I scream at her and try to push her away from me with another strength from my will but it's still meaningless. Her strength was just absurd for the size of her body.

But, are you serious, this is a vampire for god sake! In the world of 3D, a mythical creature shouldn't exist. In the world of 3D! This is the important word which I must say it two times.

What can I do about this? Nothing. Sigh, I lean to the trunk of the tree and let her drink as much as she can. Even though I protest to her right now, I know she won't respond to my word because she acts based on instinct.

"Is this still earth? Teleport, forest, and right now is a vampire. What's next? An angel? Nekomimi? or even goddess?"

While I escape from reality once again. The effect of sucking blood on him starts to appear. The wound slowly regenerating, blood sinking into the skin, and shortly after that skin of her return to a healthy state. Then her grips slowly weaken and she collapses it to my body like the strength she demonstrates it before just imagination on me.

I lay her on the ground and start to think about what should I do about her. I saw her and was surprised when I realized that I could no longer find the wound on her body.

"What's happen? It's that effect from sucking of my blood?"

My common sense slowly breaking apart with the rapid event that appears in a short time. Although that's all seems so small thing with the calm and the peace on her sleeping face.

(Another's Point of View)

On top building which height over 300 meters. There's someone who overlooking the sight under her from that building. Not a building but more specifically is a tower.

Her face whose beauty can be said extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. Plus her shining golden eyes. With straight-long silver hair and the dress which covers her legs. She opens her mouth to speak with apparent wisdom on her eyes.

"A person in the prophecy has appeared."

Not long after that, there's shadow landed behind her with kneeling form.

"Your order."

Still looking at the city below.

"Bring him to here with utmost respect don't force him. Make arrangements for his stay and he can meet me at least tomorrow. Let him rest first."

The shadow immediately leaves.

"I wonder what's will happen to this world with you this time, but I can sure it's will be positive for the growth of this world."

She lets her smile widen into a brilliant crescent shape. Her smile is a ray of sunshine who can make darkness so pale in comparison.
