"Different" | X Reader (Blind)

The next morning, we called the police. They arrived to our house.

Serene and I told them everything about last night. I gave the description of the unknown man and his address. "He lives about two houses down from me." I said. "Okay, miss." a policeman said. "Do you know the man's name by any chance?" I shook my head. "I just met him last night. He didn't give me his name." After giving out all the details we can to the police, they wrap up their info. "Okay, ladies. Call us back if you see this assailant wandering around again." The officers leave. I touch Serene's hand. "Let's go visit Charley."

We went down to his house. Fortunately, we caught up with Charley before he had to go to school this morning. "He... attacked me last night..." Charley said, nervously. "What?" My eyes widen. "The visitor?" I say. "Yes, (Y/N). Right after I took you home, he somehow snuck into my house and attacked me. He wanted me to give him answers. He even threatened (Y/N)..." "He what?!" Serene exclaims. I felt my stomach drop. 'Threaten me???' I almost fainted. Serene catches me. "(Y/N)!" I start to cry. "No, no..." I held onto her. "Why would he threaten her for?!" she exclaims. "He doesn't even know (Y/N)!" "Serene, I know..." Charley responds.

"But he wants her to something much, much worse..." Oh god, it's bad... "What is it?" she asks him. I listen. "I don't wanna explain right now. But all I know is that you and (Y/N) are in grave danger. Especially (Y/N). Because she's blind. She'll be an easy target for him. He's killed somebody a night ago..."

Serene and I stayed silent... I started to get worried and scared. You know that vampire rumor that Charley mentioned?

I think he's right......

Or not... Still, I think it's too good to be true. I don't want to say it in front of Serene. She won't believe me. "K-K... Killed someone???" she stuttered. "Did you call the police???" "I did." Charley said. "But they didn't believe me." "(Y/N) and I did. Just like you told us." she replied. "Good..." I wasn't paying attention to the conversation because I was sensing something. I felt a hand on my shoulder. "(Y/N) what is it?" Charley asks me. I didn't say anything. Then I sense something again... I look up at a house right across from his. My heart lightly pounded in fear.

"We got to go... now..."

"Why?" Charley asks, confusingly. I grab his hand and cry. "Someone's spying on us! We need to go!" "Shit!" he exclaim. "Come on!" Taking my word, the three of us ran down the street. We didn't stop until we got to the end of the block. Out of breath, we panted and catch ourselves. Charley holds my shoulders. "Was it him, (Y/N)?" I nod to him with tears streaming down my face. "Yes... Yes!" I hug Serene. I cry into her chest. She holds onto me. "Charley, you'd better hurry off to school. I'll watch after (Y/N)."

"Okay." he said. "Once I get off, I'll call you." I hear Charley run off. "I don't... want him to leave..." I whimper. Serene gently pat my head.

"I know, (Y/N)... I know..."

••• *Unknown* P.O.V. •••

I watched them from the window. Charley told them everything about last night. No surprise. Even his pretty friend (Y/N) and her other friend apparently called the police. I doubt if they'll believe her, like how they did with Charley.

Speaking of (Y/N), I noticed something off about her...

No, not because she's blind. I understand her condition. But it's something else... (Y/N) stood frozen the entire time and eventually looked at my window as if she was making eye contact with me. Yet how? I was watching through the window curtains, so it was impossible if she could see me or not... Or did she? (Y/N) then tells Charley that they're being spied on. It caused them to run down the street. I was shocked. And surprised. How did she know that I was watching them???

Does it interfere with her sight loss? Or is it some type of supernatural power that she has? I doubt if it's something supernatural, but I'm just dying to find out... I need to know more about (Y/N). Really. If Charley is asleep tonight, and if she's still awake, I think I'll stop by and talk to her.

I just hope that she's not scared of me...

Current Time — 9:02 PM:

••• (Y/N) P.O.V. •••

I sat in the living room, listening to the news. Serene isn't here at the moment, she's at Charley's. So, it's just me. Alone. I hate being alone, but sometimes I don't mind. As long as I stay safe. On the news, they explained about the suspicious murders around the city.

***Knock, knock!***

I look to my side. Someone was at the door. I grab my cane and stand up. I carefully made my way to the door. But I stop. For some reason, I felt a sense of danger. 'What if it's that man again???' I sat my cane down on a seat and went over to the kitchen counter. I grab the sharpest knife out of the drawer. 'For cautionary measures...' I hid it behind me and walk back to the front door. I hear the person knock again. Before opening, I put the chain on. I unlock the door and open it halfway. I stand behind the door. "Yes?" I answer and waited.

"(Y/N)?" a familiar male's voice answered.

Of course. It's the visitor from before... I felt chills run down my spine. "Who... Who is it?" "It's me. I'm the person you met back at Charley's house." he said. I raise a brow. "Oh. I remember you..." I didn't know what to say next. "What... brings you... here?" "You told me... about your sight loss. And... I want to know more about you. May I come in?" I think. He does sound sincere... Or is he tricking me? "I don't know... Someone warned me about... a person. And... he's dangerous..."

The man stays silent for a second. Oh no... I grip the knife handle at the ready just in case chaos erupts. I hear him chuckle. "No, (Y/N). No, darling. I'm not dangerous." he said, politely. "I promise. I don't bite." I think again. "Are you sure???" He chuckles again.

"Yes, dear—cross my heart."

Hm. Don't like the sound of that, but okay. 'Serene's gonna kill me for this.' I take the chain off the door and open it completely. I slowly held my hand out to him. "Come in..." I felt his hand slowly lock with mine. The odd thing is... his hand is cold... I gently pull him inside and close the door. "Your hand..." I say, locking the door. "Hm?" I hear him. "You feel... cold. Are you sick? Do you need any medicine?" "No, I'm feeling okay." he replies. I nod and walk past him.

"(Y/N)... Why do you have a knife behind your back?"

I froze. 'Damnit!' I look over my shoulder. "Oh... Uhh... Raccoons. They sneak around our front porch sometimes making weird screeching noises and we have to scare them off." I put the knife back in the drawer.

"Really? Because... they weren't on your porch when I got here. Was that for... something else?"

"No." I shook my head. "For the raccoons." I look for some glass cups on the counter. I lightly tap on it, seeing if my hand would travel to one. Didn't feel any near. I bit the inside of my lip. 'Come on, come on...' I kept trying. There was no glass cup near my hand. Irritated, I slam my hand loudly on the counter. "WHERE IS THE DAMN THING?!?!" I gasp and cover my mouth. I forgot that the man was here. I shut my eyes. 'Oh shit...' Embarrassed, I started to tear up. I felt a hand gently touch my shoulder. I uncover my face. "Do you need help?" I slowly turn my head to the man. I felt humiliated.

Sighing, I look down and slowly nod. "Please..." I felt him gently grab my wrist. He then travels my hand on the counter to the closest one. "Right there." he softly tells me. I tap on the top. Then wrap my hand around it, feeling a solid cylindrical shape. "T-Thank you..." I politely say. I go to the sink and fill the glass with water. I took a long sip and sat the cup down. I turn to the man. Through my blurred vision, he walks over to me. I nonchalantly nod.

"Let's talk."
