I did my best to look up and glance at Leon as soon as I felt the presence of another vampire in the room, and a pureblood at that.
But when I managed to look at Leon, he was still writhing in pain, and the presence of a pureblood vampire vanished, as if it was just my imagination.
Or perhaps, it really is. It only took me a second or two to react when I felt the pureblood presence, but it disappeared as soon as it appeared.
What the heck?
Was it really just my imagination? Or did I perhaps only misread the presence just now?
Just when I was thinking those things, my heart beat began to calm down and it gradually turned back to normal. I can also breathe better now, without chasing my breath.
Leon, on the other hand, was still the same - he was still suffering.
I looked at Leon intently, observing him thoroughly at the moment. I wanted to know if the presence of a pureblood I felt was really just in my imagination.
