Nishimura Ri-Ki, The Child

🦇🦇🦇

Youthful. Ni-Ki was the youngest & this often stunned many who came to know him. Vampires his age & younger were prone to being hard to control. Ni-Ki was exceptional in that aspect. He could control his bloodlust seemingly on the same level as a vampire much older than him. 

From the beginning...

He didn't have many friends. However, that was something he expected. Vampires turned around his age were a big issue for some vampires. He sat by the lake when someone joined him. Easily he could tell that it was a small girl. Probably no older than nine years old. 

"왜 여기 혼자 있어요? 다른 사람들이 당신을 무서워하나요?" (Why are you out here alone ? Are the others scared of you ?) This little girl managed to bring the smallest of smile upon Ni-Ki' face. "They are scared of me. It is best if I keep my distance for now." The girl sat on the edge of the dock next to him. "Why are they scared of you ? You see friendly enough..." 

There was no use in lying. Lying wouldn't make him any less alone than he already was. Ni-Ki showed his fangs. "나는 뱀파이어입니다. 저에 대해 알게 되면 아무도 친구가 되고 싶어하지 않아요. 익숙합니다." (I am a vampire. No one wants to be my friend once they learn this about me. I am used to it.) The little girl looked over the lake when she heard her mother call for lunch. "Do you want to join us ? I'm sure my family can find you something to eat." 

Ni-Ki was absolutely elated that he could be gaining his very first friend. He quickly agreed. Maybe this immortal life wouldn't be as bad as he thought. Ni-Ki was more than a vampire. He was youth itself.
