Weakness - Irene + Wonshik
@pxirene
For a long time, Wonshik has known he was a weak vampire. He’d been warned by Yongsu while he was still learning how to live his knew life that he wouldn’t be winning many battles. He was stronger than humans, but everyone else could trump him with a flick of their finger - especially the Nobles. Yongsu had told him time and time again he should take a self defense class so he could at least protect himself, but he’d stupidly put it off.
He was paying for it now, cornered in an alley, sweat coating his brow as his vision swam from exhaustion. The hunter had been pursuing him for nearly an hour, tireless as anything. How he was able to keep up, Wonshik didn’t know - he didn’t understand. He was supposed to have higher endurance than humans, wasn’t he? How did they manage to follow him so easily?
“Please...” Wonshik panted heavily, his knees shaking as he leaned heavily against the wall. He wanted to jump up onto the fire escape and try to get away, but he had so little strength left. He tried to rush out of the way as the weapon swung towards him, managing to dodge just in time only to get tripped up by the hunter’s extended foot. He slammed down onto his face, trying to scramble to his feet in a panic. He moved just fast enough to avoid a lethal strike, but the weapon still struck its mark, piercing his side and making him cry out in pain.
Throwing his foot out, he kicked the hunter off him, the weapon pulling out of his body. He clamped a hand over the bleeding wound as he rushed to his feet again, running the few feet to the end of the alley before he stumbled and fell into the street. He was too tired, too hurt now...god this really was the end for him. All because he was just so, so hopelessly weak. He lifted his head, his vision blurring as he stared up at the man that would be his doom. He shook his head slowly, silently pleading with him. It wasn’t his time yet - he didn’t want to die.
