I’m Someone Else

Thomas reached out and squished Chloe’s cheek to open her mouth. Then, he let the bright red blood trickle from his slashed wrist into her mouth.

On the other hand, Quincy was dumbstruck by the sight and gaped in horror. “Blood of the Blazing Sun!” That phrase consumed his entire train of thought because he had not anticipated Thomas having that blood type.

It was a legendary blood type only known from the tattered remains of ancient books. Apparently, the blood has mystical properties, and one drop would be enough to bring the patient back to life as long as they were still alive. All the wealth in the world couldn’t buy even a single drop of that blood.

He always dismissed the story as another fabricated legend, but on this day, he witnessed the miraculous healing power of the Blood of the Blazing Sun firsthand.

Meanwhile, Thomas had no idea how to treat Chloe’s illness. If he had known sooner, he could have devised a recipe to aid in her recovery. Unfortunately, he learned of it too late, and she was already clinging to life too weakly to benefit from anything he could offer her. He knew when death was imminent, only his blood could make a difference.

One of his greatest secrets was Blood of the Blazing Sun. The crazy old man who raised him told him that his blood was unique as it had the power to heal and save lives, but warned him that if word got out, he would be killed.

At this point, Thomas was too distraught to care; he might as well be killed now, as Chloe’s life was more important than his own. Since he had been unaware of Zachary’s illness, he had been plagued by guilt. He had often thought that the Hahns might have avoided tragedy if he had been more thoughtful and spared Zachary’s life in the event of mission failure. Still, he had no choice because he wanted to give Zachary a painless death; a bullet was the best way to do so.

As the minutes passed, he felt weaker and paler as he fed her blood without knowing how much he had given her.

Cough! Cough! She started coughing violently, which racked her entire body, signaling she was finally reacting to the blood.
