Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge-Chapter 6 Hot And Cold

Uncertain of how long he was unconscious, Kira slowly opened his eyes only to be greeted by an empty plain room. The walls were painted white and there was no window.

He blinked several times to get rid of the blur as he tried to adjust his vision in that well-lighted room.

His curious gaze wandered around that room. "Where am I?" Kira asked himself.

Then a memory of what had transpired a while ago flashed in his mind. He remembered that he woke up in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar place.

He found a room wherein a beautiful alluring woman was lying on the bed. His hunger was awakened. He felt the need to consume her blood and so he did. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

While he was sucking her sweet delicious blood, the woman suddenly woke up and slapped him hard on his face. Aside from that, he fell off the bed after getting a great push from her.

Kira shook his head, trying to shove that unpleasant and humiliating memory of him to the back of his mind.

"Whoa, she is so strong for a mere human… I still can't believe it. Did I become so weak? This is so embarrassing," Kira kept talking to himself.

He was about to stand up only to find out that his hands and feet were tied down on a steel chair. His eyes grew wide seeing the metal cuffs that were binding his hands on the different sides of the chair's armrest.

He tugged his hand and murmured annoyingly, "Why am I bound in this thing? Where is the woman who slapped me?"

"Are you looking for me?" A feminine voice echoed in the room.

Kira frowned as he didn't expect that someone had been standing there, silently observing him or should we say, patiently waiting for him to wake up.

'Speaking of the devil. She's here. I swear I will teach her a lesson for treating me like this. How dare she treat me like a prisoner? Just you wait… I will show you how scary I am and you will regret this.' Kira thought to himself, smiling mischievously.

With his strength and power, he could easily escape from those binds. But he decided not to reveal his super ability yet.

Concealing the playful smirk on his face, Kira turned toward the direction of her voice and found Marceline leaning on the wall just beside the door. She was playing with a sharp dagger in her hand.

For a few seconds, they gazed intently into one another's eyes, no one between them said a single word.

His eyes studied her intently, pacing from her face to her body. Kira was dazzled by her overbearing aura.

She was no longer wearing her thin nightgown, but instead, she was wearing a black-fitting hoodie jacket and black tights. She looked like a female assassin who was ready for a kill.

At that certain moment, he realized that she was not a helpless sheep who was about to be eaten by a tiger like him but she was like a wolf who was ready to fight back.

Kira had become absent-minded and seemed to be occupied by this cold alluring woman before his eyes.

Then suddenly, Marceline broke the silence first as she spoke up once again.

"Are you on drugs?"

Kira: "???"

Not getting a response from him, Marceline threw him another question.

"Are you high?"

*Another moment of silence from Kira's end*

'What does she mean by that?' He thought to himself while giving her a confused look.

Marceline took a step, moving closer to Kira.

"Your eyes are so red. But I think it's not because of sore eyes. Therefore I conclude you are not only a hired killer but also a drug addict who happens to be a pervert." Marceline stated matter-of-factly.

'What did she say? Me, a hired killer, a drug addict, and a pervert? My eyes are red because I am a vampire!'

Kira was at a loss for words. He never had imagined that a mighty vampire king like him would be called by these human's aliases.

(*But the funniest thing was he thought of those words as human aliases. Little did he know that those terms also meant bad guys and criminals. LOL*)

He squeezed his eyes shut and drew a deep breath, trying to control his temper.

'This woman is trying to test my patience. I don't want to hear another insulting word from her,' Kira complained inwardly.

Before he realized it, Marceline was already standing in front of him, placing the dagger on his neck. She was looking straight into his eyes while arching her eyebrow. She was trying to intimidate him with her cold stare.

"Who sent you? Who hired you to kill me? Speak up or else, I will slit your throat right here right then." Marceline had become serious. She pressed the sharp dagger on his neck, slightly cutting the surface of his skin to prove that she was not bluffing.

Kira was caught off guard by her aggressiveness.

'What the hell? No one hired me to kill her. I didn't even know who sent me here to this house. I am wondering as to why I am here.'

He wanted to tell her those words but he knew that this woman wouldn't buy that explanation unless he would reveal his real identity to her.

But aside from that, Kira had another concern. He hated daggers.

"Get that weapon out of my sight!" Kira suddenly burst out. He didn't like to see a dagger as he was reminded of Selene's betrayal.

It seemed like fate was playing a game with him. Before he was put in a deep sleep, his beloved woman plunged a silver dagger into his chest.

And after he was awakened from that long sleep, another woman pressed a dagger on his neck.

His eyes set ablaze, flashing a warning. If he would not be able to control the raging fury inside of him then he was afraid that he might end up hurting this woman.

However, Marceline was not scared of him. She was clueless about the danger Kira might bring to her. Kira's existence and his race were not known to her world except for the chosen ones.

Only a selected few knew the existence of other creatures like vampires, werewolves, and witches. These chosen ones were called the gatekeepers.

The gatekeepers were the ones guarding the portals connecting the two worlds: Kingdom Phantasia and the Human World.
