Chapter 1

Ashley's POV:-

I slowly open my eyes. Ouch! The light is unbearable. But when my eyes adjust to it, I open my eyes and found myself in an unfamiliar room. As I was exploring it, my eyes land on a boy. No, boys. 1,2,3,4....7! Yes there are 7 boys. But where the hell I am? Does they know who I am? Does they find out? I was trying to sat up a boy came and help me.

"Easy there. You need rest don't sat up." The boy sat in front of me and said.

"Umm...hii...I - I'm Ashley. What's your name?" Gosh! It's too hard then I thought. I can't even make sentence. What's your name? Wow Ash, What a genius question!

"I'm Percy. These are my friends Mike, Nick, Simon, Neill, Brian and Arnold."

I nod at them. Smiling. God! Too much name. How can I even remember them?

"Well Ashley, are you from Washington? " The boy named Neill ask me.

"Umm..no..no. I'm from Korea." Do I even look like a Korean? Gosh Ashley, you are sick!

"So what are you doing here?" He said me with suspicious eyes. Does he know my real identity? Shit!

"Actually I came here for an interview. But I lost the adress of the office. So I was wondering on street. The last thing I remember is someone shouting to hold me cause I was loosing my conscious." Actually the last words are true.

"But you don't look like a Korean?" Jesus! He is asking so many questions. Why he is being so curious about my life? But the main thing is what I'm gonna say now?

"Neill, she just got her conscious, and you are bombarding her with questions. She's staying here until she fell well so don't worry, you can inquiry her later." Thank god! Percy's words save me from a great disaster.

Then he turned towards me smiling. "If you want then take a shower. We found your luggage with you so we put in inside of the cupboard. We are downstairs. Join us after the shower." I nod and they left the room.

I need to take a shower. I'm cover in all sweat. I stand up and went towards the bathroom after grabbing my clothes.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

Icame out of the bathroom wearing a skirt and a light red fall shoulder top.

I was making my long hair a messy bun when I came here. But now I open it cause I like my hair open.

And also put on my favourite red shade of lipstick

Thank god I put on my lenses before coming here, otherwise they'll gonna faint at the colour of my eyes. Btw for your curiosity, my eyes look blue with my lenses. (Without lenses? Let's leave it for surprise 😉)

After checking myself at mirror, I went towards downstairs.

Percy's POV:-

We are sitting in the living room. Others are talking to each other. Neill, who is the silent person of our group, doing something on his laptop. And me, I'm scrolling through my phone hoping to find something interesting.

Mike hit Simon while laughing but suddenly everything went silent. I look up at them looking at the stairs like they saw a UFO. I follow their gaze and what I saw, it's really as shocking as seeing the UFO.

Ashley is standing there smiling. She's wearing a light red fall shoulder top and a thigh length skirt. Her long hair is open and reach till her waist. With light touch of lipstick, she looks like an angel who just come from haven. She walk towards us and sat beside Arnold.

"Wow Ashley, you're looking fucking awesome." Mike said and Arnold hit him. "Don't curse everytime you fool."

"But he is right Arnold, Ashley is looking so cute and beautiful and stunning and hot and..."

"Brian, stop fucking flirt with her you prick. You can't fuck every girl come to your way." Arnold scold him loudly.

"Don't curse brother. It's a bad thing." Mike said and everyone burst out laughing, including Ashley. And then I saw her eyes. Those blue eyes. Which can kill anyone from amusement. It's killing yet soft. God! She's taking over me.

"Ok, enough of laughing" Arnold said holding his hands out. " I'm going for cook lunch. Anyone wanna join me?"

"Yes I'm." Ashley smile and went in the kitchen with Arnold. I was watching her leaving when I feel a sharp hit on my shoulder. I turn around and see Mike smiling at me.

"What the fuck, Mike?" I glare at him but his smile become wider. "You like her don't you?" He smirk at me and I roll my eyes while standing up leaving towards the kitchen.

"You know, I can feel everything." Mike shout and turn around holding my middle finger at him and he fell of laughing hard.

Ashley's POV:-

"Pick the vegetables and pork from the fridge. After cutting the vegetables, cut the pork into small pieces."

Arnold instructed me and went for making soup. I wash the vegetables and as I turn to put them on table before taking the pork out, I startled to see Percy is standing behind me. He smile and come close to me.

"Give these to me. I'll cut them. You cut the meat."

I was denying but he already took them from my hand. And in the process our hands touched. He winch and step back. Eyes widened.

"Y- your.... your hands?" He says pointing at my hands. Shit Ashley! Think something.

"Actually Percy, my hemoglobin is low. That's why my body always remains cold." His looks saying that he believes me. Oh thank god.

I turn around to take meat but hearing a curse I stopped at my place. "Fuck." And then it hit my brain. The smell. The strong smell of blood. I turn back and saw Percy's hand bleeding. And Arnold is already notice it so he's shouting like hell. Hearing him others are rushed into kitchen. And me? Well I was standing there, sweating continuously and looking at his hand seductively.

"Ashley!" A loud voice and someone's hands shaking me pull me back to my sense. It was Nick.

"I- I should medicate him." I said and grab the antiseptic cotton and band-aid from fridge. I was rubbing medicine on his finger, suddenly I look up and my eyes met with Neill. He was looking at me with full of suspicious eyes. I look down and after medicate him, I went straight towards my room without uttering a single word.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

What the hell is wrong with me? If I can't control my desires then they'll gonna find my identity soon. No Ashley, you can't take risk. You need to control yourself.'

I was deepening in my thoughts suddenly someone knock at my door. I look up and saw it's Mike.

"May I come in miss?" He ask me politely.

"Uh sure it's your own house you don't need to ask me."

He came and sat beside me. "I know what happened to you in the kitchen." He says and my eyes widened.

"What?" Cool Ashley cool!

"You have blood sickness don't you? That's why you react that way. Right?" He says with a beautiful smile.

"Y-yeah, yeah. I have blood sickness." Thank God!

"It's okay you stay here. I'll call you when lunch is ready." Mike said with a wink and left the room.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

After almost half an hour, Mike call me for lunch so I came downstairs. I went to the dining table and sit between Percy and Arnold. Everyone was laughing and talking while eating expect me and Neill. Percy pass me the bowl of soup. I smile at him and while looking away, my eyes landed on Neill. He's looking at me like I'm some kind of unique creature. Well, he's not completely wrong though. I look at my plate and didn't look up before finishing my meal.

After helping with the dishes with Arnold, I went towards the upstairs.

"Ashley!" Neill's voice stopped my legs at the place. I turn around and saw everyone standing behind him looking at him with questionable eyes.

"Yes Neill." You have to act normally Ashley, just act normal.

"Who are you?" Shit! He doubt me.

"What are you asking Neill? Obviously I'm human."

"No you're not" He said while staring at me blankly. "If you're a human, then why your body is so cold?"

"It's because her hemoglobin is low." Percy answer instead of me. And I mentally thanked him.

"I'm asking you something Ashley, if you're a human then why your body is so cold?" Neill ask me, completely ignoring Percy.

"Percy already told you. My hemoglobin is low." I said, looking at Neill's eye straight.

"How much low? Is it lower than 0?"

I stayed silent and only shook my head as no, not able to forming a sentence.

"Why were you looking at Percy's hand like that?" He ask and I gulp.

"She has blood sickness Neill that's wh...." Mike can't complete his sentence.

"She has a fucking mouth. She can speak with it!" Neill shout at Mike making him silent instantly.

"I- I have b- blood sickness." I stutter.

"What kind of blood sickness is this, in which you leak your lips seductively instead of fainting?" Shit!

Neill sigh and come closer to me. " Look Ashley, tell us your truth. I know you're not a human. So please be honest with us."

I look up at him, almost tearing up my eyes " I can tell you but you don't believe me."

"We will believe you Ashley. Trust me. Trust us." I look at others and they nod at me. I sigh. "Fine. Let's sit in the living room."

We went and sit on the couch. I sit in front of them on the opposite couch.

"Before I can explain you or tell you anything, I want to show you something." I look at them and as they silently nod their heads, I bent down and remove my lenses before pick up my head towards them with closed eyes.

"Ash, open your eyes and look at us." I hear Percy pleading me with nervous voice. I open my eyes slowly look at them with my red eyes.

And if I'm not totally wrong, they gasp.

"A- Ash, y- your eyes? Wait.....are you a......"  I nod before Percy can finish his words.

"Yes Percy. You're right. I'm a......."
