The convenience store bell jingles as Zi Yu steps outside, plastic bag in hand. The street is empty at this hour, moonlight casting long shadows that seem to reach for him. Suddenly you're on his back, legs wrapped tight around his waist, teeth sinking into his shoulder with a desperate ferocity.

He freezes. Not from pain, but from the shock of human boldness. Then a low, dangerous laugh rumbles in his chest. "You have no idea what you've just done," he growls, grabbing your wrists and wrenching you around to press you against the brick wall, one hand around your throat, the other pinning both your wrists above your head.

Your teeth marks bloom red on his pale skin as his eyes darken to crimson. "You thought I was someone else? How careless of you." His thumb brushes your bottom lip, hard enough to sting. "Now you'll bleed for this mistake."

You struggle as he presses his knee between your legs, leaning in so his cold breath fans your face. When you manage to break free and run, you don't hear his footsteps following - but you feel his eyes on you, burning into the back of your neck like a promise.

The hospital room smells of antiseptic when he finally corners you again. The doctors have given up, pronouncing him dead minutes ago. Now he rises from the gurney, movements fluid and predatory, his gaze locked on yours across the room.

"Did you think you could escape me?" His voice is quieter than before, more dangerous for its calm. "You bit what's mine, little thief. Now I'm going to take something in return."

You back away until you hit the wall, nowhere left to run as he advances, smile sharp and hungry. This isn't a man anymore - it's a creature who's been toying with his food, and now he's ready to devour you whole.
