Present Time

Soon the door started to creak open and Y/N walked in tired, looking like a zombie. Her clothes were covered in dirt as if she had an early morning walk in the jungle. Y/N's eyes were filled with tiredness but somewhere in them she had the willingness to look more into something that she had come for. 

She can't believe that her only hope to catching the culprit was gone. Now there was no possible way that she can find who the culprit is because the necklace was the only thing that could force the culprit to come to her himself. Tomorrow will the first day of Y/N's University and with all this happening already, Y/N doesn't think that she will be able to do her best in her degree. 

(A/N)

(I actually forgot to mention which degree Y/N is doing so you can choose which degree and career field you want to pursue)

Today was the day that Y/N had decided to organize all the things that she will need for her lectures and relax after that but the necklace of that super natural beast going missing didn't let her do that.

Y/N POV

I march back and forth in my apartment blaming myself of how the necklace could get lost. It is really frustrating because that necklace was the only thing that could help me in finding who killed my parents. Like seriously, how much of a coward is that beast, he had to knock me out in order to stop the fight, honestly whoever this guy is, he is one of those who attacks from the back, in the dark (like a backstabber).

I looked over to my study table, it had my lecture books ready, all I had to do was to organise them in the order of my classes and have extra notebooks just incase I need them. You can never be very prepared, after all, I am a nerd and smarty pants. Then my mind went off to my next door neighbour, V, when I heard his apartment door opening and then closing. 

"Should I just go and thank him for looking after me when I was knocked out? Wait... why should I? It's going to sound so weird. 'Thank you V for taking care of me when I was knocked out' Ew it sounds weird." I thought to myself.

Battling with the good side and bad side of my mind, I finally opened my door and called out to V who looked like he was off to somewhere. 

"V" I called. He stopped for a second and I could see him turn half way and then start walking again. What the hell. Did he just ignore me or something? I called out to him again, "V!" This time he just stopped, he didn't look and then started to walk again after a spilt second.

V's POV

I woke up in the morning and turned around to see an empty bed. Y/N was not there. I got up all of a sudden starting to think if something bad has happened to her. 

"What if someone kidnapped her? What if she went off to somewhere and passed out again? Wait what? Why am I thinking about all that. After battling with a hundred scenarios in my mind, I finally came up with the conclusion that maybe she has gone back to her apartment and to check that, I actually made all the door slamming sounds on purpose so that I could make sure that Y/N really is in her apartment. 

As I turned around to walk off to go for shopping for my lectures tomorrow, I heard Y/N's apartment door open and she called my name out.

"V" she called. I felt a moment of relief that she is alright and safe in her apartment, as I was turning around, anxiety hit me of why I actually tried to find out if she was fine. Of course she would be fine if she just walked out on her own.

"V what is wrong with you, you pabo. You are the biggest pabo the world could ever see." I said, mentally slapping myself and stopping in my track from turning around, I started to walk again, trying to ignore her. 

"V!" she called my name again and I stopped because this time she said it real loud that even a deaf person would hear it. I tried not to turn around thinking that it would look weird, I don't know why but yeah, so I carried on walking not wanting to face her.

I didn't know why I was acting like this towards her myself. I just felt weird every time I met her. There always seemed to be something that happens like either I make things feel weird or she says something that makes me feel weird. 

So I went out of the apartment building and took the bus to the town center. 

Author POV

After the little weird and awkward encounter between Y/N and V, Y/N decided that she will go outside to have some fresh air so that she could clear her mind and rethink all the details about what happened last night at the mansion. She thought really hard and thoroughly about every detail, every information and every step that happened yesterday during her encounter with that filthy supernatural beast. No matter how hard she thought about something out of the box, she couldn't, further than wondering what the face under that black hood would look like.

Maybe an ugly face because he has an ugly heart? Maybe a handsome face because he is hiding his deathly beauty from everyone? Or maybe even a face that can change from one person to another? Ok, the last one can be possible, but if that was the case then he would never have the need to hide his face in the first place since he can change it. Who knows?

Thinking long and hard, Y/N decides to go to the mansion again to look for more clues and the necklace incase she dropped it when fighting the man. Being satisfied with her own suggestion Y/N walks back up to her apartment and starts to get everything for her investigation ready. 

Soon after Y/N goes to her apartment, V arrives with his university supplies. Although he is physically present, his mind was absent in the thoughts of Y/N. His thoughts were irritatingly interrupted by the loud honk of a truck that was passing by. V then went up to his apartment and saw Y/N standing by his apartment door. 

Y/N POV

I was standing in front of V's apartment first wanting to ask him if he has seen the necklace. I will make up any excuse even if I have to lie (which I hate the most) in order to find out where I may have lost the necklace. The elevator of our floor dinged and the doors opened revealing the guy who I been waiting so desperately for, (OK NOT IN THAT WAY THOUGH). 

When he saw me he smirked at me, which was.... weird... He started to walk towards me and I tried to back off but the wall behind me stopped me from doing so. He kept looking in my eyes as if he were looking for something he lost in there as he continued to step closer. As I was about to move away from the wall, he put his right hand next to me and stopped me, trapping me in front of him. As he got closer and closer me heart started to beat rapidly and my stomach started to feel a knot with butterflies tingling around it. 

I could feel my eyes closing without me even trying to. I felt his hot breathe on my neck as shivers were sent down my spine and electrical waves were striking my heart. I thought I knew what was coming until...

"I was just opening my door but you are on the way. Don't worry I am not a pervert that I will do those disgusting things nor I am a vampire that I will suck the blood out of your neck."

My eyes opened as I heard the vampire bit.

"Yahhh!" I pushed him aggressively making his back hit the opposite wall since the corridor is tiny. 

"Well you could have told me to move except of doing all that weird stuff. To be honest, you don't look as innocent to me as you may look in front of others..." I said to him getting shy... I don't know why

"I just wanted to thank you for taking care of me when I was unconscious, thank you. I owe you one. Maybe I could help you with your university studies or something like that so.... FRIENDS???" I say extending my arm to shake hands. 

V's POV

"What? She wants to be friends with me? Well yeah I did help her but then I can't let her know who I really am because if she finds out, it will only become harder for the both of us. Sadly... I will have to reject her friendship." 

I look at her hand and say to her that I don't really believe in friendship since I don't have any friends. (And she will most probably know why.)

Y/N POV

I extended my hand out waiting for V to take it and accept my friendship but in return I get a no as his answer. Like seriously? He really is a weird guy. Or then if he wants to keep himself secret and lonely, so be it.

As he was going past me to his apartment I saw something handing from his pocket. It has a black cord and a silver pendant hanging from it. My eyes grew large when I recognized the necklace to be the one which I was looking for.

"What is he doing with that necklace? Maybe he was going to return it right? But if he was to return it then he would have done it by now, he still wouldn't have the necklace with him right now. What if he is the supernatural beast that killed my parents? But how could he? He is just so quiet and so kept- to- himself kind of person. Maybe a bit too much..."

"Hey umm, where did you get that necklace from?" I finally questioned him. 

"Oh this necklace" He looked down at the necklace hanging out of his pocket.

"Well this.... ummmm.... I.. um..."
