Ezra Underhill

[A year earlier…]

Ezra seemingly woke up laying at the altar of a quiet Catholic Church. He was laying next to someone… another guy! No… it was himself, but dead! Ezra shrieked in horror and crawled backward. He looked at himself down on the altar the back of his head bashed in. A bloodied statuette of the Virgin Mary lay on the floor beside him. Ezra was mortified. “Am I dead? I… I… I’m a bloody ghost!!” Ezra screamed. He sat there screaming but no one came.

Finally the priest returned and found Ezra’s dead body but didn’t seem to see Ezra. The priest was horrified and ran to the telephone to call the police. Ezra followed the priest trying all he could to gain his attention however he was unseen and unheard. Ezra was indeed a spirit, a real ghost. Hours passed and the police came and went. His body was taken up and the church was cleaned. The news was massive about the tragic death of the famous young mystery novel writer.

Ezra returned home to his flat and sulked. It was paid off in full so he technically owned it. His publicist worked to manage the property so it would be unoccupied until he decided to sell or rent it out. It remained unrented for a year. Everyone that came by to view the property couldn’t help but feel a bad vibe there. Little did they know the ghost of Ezra Underhill was haunting the flat.

[Currently this year]
Choi, Jin-Sang

Jin-Sang was working the late shift in the hospital as usual. The trauma center was extremely busy that night. Jin-Sang saw to 3 emergency trauma patients and things went over alright. Finally break time came and Jin-sang took a trip to the vending machines. After buying a bottle of water he took a seat out in the hallway of a quieter wing of the hospital. As he leaned his head back against the wall and let out a sigh, he noticed something in his peripheral vision. It was a person staggering into one of the empty emergency rooms. Jin-sang narrowed his eyes in on the person and got up to investigate the strange visitor.

The man was seemingly young and looked to be on drugs. He shook and quivered. He went ravaging through the cabinets of the room grumbling to him-self. “They... gotta have it.. MAN…!! They gotta effin’ HAVE IT!!” the man said in an anxious an jittery manner.

Jin-Sang entered the room with a polite smile and said, “May I help you sir?” He was a little nervous once he saw the desperate young man up close. He has second thoughts. “Maybe I shouldn’t have come in here alone, perhaps I should have called security first?” Jin-Sang thought to him-self. The man looked up at Jin-Sang sharply like a wild animal. Jin-Sang took a step backwards in a bit of fear.

The young man approached Jin-Sang with a crazed look in his eyes. His breathing was heavily labored and his body shook all over. Jin-Sang began to be seriously afraid. Then the young man spoke again, “I need help man… I, I… ugh” The young man whispered and then passed out onto the floor. He was dripping into a cold sweat and he seemed to be seizing. Jin-Sang checked the young man’s pulse and it was most non-existent. He turned towards the call button to get help. However the young man quickly sprung to life and attacked him. He was very strong and wild. He slammed Jin-Sang down onto the hospital bed and leapt on top of him. Jin-Sang struggled in vain. He screamed but it was cut short by a sharp and painful bite to the neck.

The attacker was a vampire. He sat up, blood dripping from his mouth, and apologized. “I’m, I’m so sorry man….!! I just can’t help it. I was so hungry… SO MUCH PAIN!!” Jin-Sang groaned in pain. The vampire heard people walk past the room. It startled him and when the coast was clear he bolted. Jin-sang struggled weakly to get up and staggered over to grab a white towel to hold up to his neck. He reached into his pocket and slowly pulled out his cell phone.

“Sa-sa-ki… I… I… need you… something attacked me, and I… can’t report… this… ah…! Can you please… come meet me?” Jin-Sang whimpered over the phone to his boyfriend. He ended the phone call and after a few moments he patched his wound up enough to cover up what had happened and staggered out of the hospital. Luckily Jin-Sang lived only a block away from the hospital he worked at.

Okada Sasaki

Sasaki sat quietly at the Penumbra bar having a few drinks of blood. He wished Choi could be there with him. However Choi had no clue that Sasaki was a vampire and this atmosphere of the Penumbra would appear strange for anyone unfamiliar with vampires or hunters. He overheard some chattering from the hunters side. It appears someone was hurt nearby the bar. Sasaki wasn’t concerned much at all. “Keep a low profile and you won’t have much trouble.” That was his motto. He of course sat on the Vampires side of the bar, not too far from three ladies carrying on in an interesting conversation. Two of them appeared to be related, one of which was human it seemed.

Sasaki didn’t intrude on the conversation he just kept to himself with his thoughts. He then received a phone call. “Hi Love! How’s your shift?” Sasaki answered in a chipper tone. He held his cell phone smiling as if in a daydream.

The response on the other end of the call was not so chipper, “Sa-sa-ki… I… I… need you… something attacked me, and I… can’t report… this… ah…! Can you please… come meet me?”
