Chapter 264 - Stopped Heart-I

Seojun felt his movement gradually getting faster as Ava spent more energy to her tail of snakes. By far, Seojun counted he had served seventy-seven tail snakes into half, and he noticed that the dark witchess could only use a limited amount of tail snakes. Using this chance, he sectioned the seventy-eight snake tail when he noticed the dark witchess's lips moving as she casted a spell. Being cautious with what about to come toward him, he moved slightly back when he heard a faint sound of crack from above him.

Less than a second, the crack spread from the place he spotted like stem all over the ceiling. Ava seemed to notice it too as they both vacate from the corridor through the window.

Large rubble fell from the second floor, filling the floor below them with the heavy debris. Smokes filled the entire scene and Seojun wondered if this was Ava's spell. Sensing something, he dangerously turn his body to meet Ava's palm that had appeared right across his face. A black smoke materialize from her palm and Seojun quickly avoided it by jumping few steps behind. 

The next moment when he saw the smoke had disappeared, Ava had left the scene in thin air. "Shit!" cursed Seojun, slamming his fist to the nearest tree to let go of the steaming anger as he had let his parent's killer to disappear. 

Seojun can't exactly chase for the witchess knowing that his elder sister was somewhere in the mansion full of midnight creatures. He was about to enter the mansion through the same corridor that was now filled with rubbles when he heard a faint whimper from the broken floor. His eyes fall at Seoyeon's figure who was looking at the pureblood. 

"Hwa!" Seoyeon called his name, but Jung Hwa whose eyes were close didn't respond to her words.

On the opposite ground, Min Beomgyu pulled his satchel where the potions he created was stored in. He looked at Yu Sheen, the half vampire's condition. With a light press on Yu Sheen's neck, he realized that the half-vampire's heartbeat was slow and faint. The wound on Yu Sheen's stomach was larger than he thought.

At first, the white witch wondered why the wound took very long time to heal. While most half vampire heal slower than other vampires, they still had a potent healing ability, but Yu Sheen's sounds seemed as if it healed only a percent. 

It took the white witch a second later to understand how Yu Sheen's body hadn't completely manifested to a half vampire yet which was strange. Most humans who transmuted into half vampires took only one week with a heavy fever starting in the first half of the week and a sudden body temperature drop in the second half of the week. After they convert to a full fledge half-vampire, all abilities including the healing ability should be as powerful as normal vampires, falling by only by a little.

Not wanting to wait for the wound to get worse, Min Beomgyu pulled blood packs for Yu Sheen to drink in case he woke up and took out a healing potion. He wasn't confident the potion could be use to a half vampire but still used it as it was better to do try than not. 

Pulling the cap with a 'pop' Min Beomgyu tilted the bottle to drop the potion when abruptly his patient raise his body. A scream almost erupt from his mouth upon seeing the hole that became much more striking as the half vampire's upper body was raised. 

"It hurts," was the first two words said by Yu Sheen and he turned his face to raise his brows seeing Min Beomgyu looking at him with a complex expression. As if remembering something, Yu Sheen drew his eyebrows together, "Being scared is one thing, but how can you leave me alone?! I was also scared! The witch was so large he kept chasing me- what's with your pale expression?"

"I didn't leave you alone, there's a story for that but...that!" Min Beomgyu pointed the hole in his stomach that was still gaping for Yu Sheen to look down.

Over seeing the hole, scream blew from Yu Sheen's mouth. "A-A hole in my body!!!" Now that the half vampire had been slapped awake after seeing the grave wound, his mind drifted to remember what happened to him before he was now on the ground outside of the house. It was during his fight where his stomach was wounded when the axe witch threw him out from the window!

It took the half vampire's three minutes to get his mind across, "Why am I still alive?"

"That's what I want to know!" Min Beomgyu responded but shake his head, "Is it painful? Do you feel like your conscious is fading?"

Yu Sheen replied with a 'no' by moving his head left and right, "Actually I feel very fine now after a little sleep. Am I dying?"

After checking Yu Sheen's pulse, Min Beomgyu nodded his head much to the half vampire's fortune. While giving the healing potion, the white witch stared at the wound and Yu Sheen's expression. A moment ago he was on the last thread of his life and now he was suddenly alright as if he had pulled his last straw of luck. What's happening? 

"Your genetic of turning into a half vampire is strange, which pureblood turns you into half vampire?" asked Min Beomgyu because humans could only turn into half vampire with a pureblood's toxin. 

Pulling the flask from his nose after checking how it would test, Yu Sheen wondered why the white witch asked about his master and replied after a while, "It is Mr. Lee Young."

Back in the broken corridors, Seoyeon had just woke up from the crash. Her head felt dizzy after the fall and she could feel stars circling around her head. It took her a moment to realize that she had just fell from the second floor and possibly buried under a large rubble because she felt something heavy was atop her. It took her fraction of second to realize she wasn't buried under the rubble but rather Jung Hwa's warm body.

"Hwa?" Seoyeon called his name and she felt something warm trickle around the side of her shoulders.. It took her seconds to see that a concrete steel had went through his chest, and she felt her heart fell from her stomach as if it was about to stop.
