Chereads / Black Rose Revenge / Chapter 2 - The New One

Chapter 2 - The New One

Hiding, listening, and waiting. Welcome to my daily routine. Even though I get tired of what I do every day, I can do nothing because it is necessary. This is also one of the ways I know to speed up searching for Alfred.

I was just looking at the sky when I heard a shout and that was the signal that someone was attacked by a hungry vampire. I don't pretend to be a hero or anything, I just want to know where Alfred is hiding. If they ask me for help, I will give it to them as long as I own their life. And they go against me? I will kill them using my own bare hands.

Since I am here at the top of the building, I can clearly see everything down below. I jumped from my seat straight down the building and when I landed on the ground I started to walk to the place where this noise comes from. It was not difficult for me to look for it because I already memorized the whole city and my sense of smell was sharp and right now I can smell the blood from the victim. It looks like I'm late.

When I arrived, I found an unconscious woman and she's already lying on the floor while the vampire was busy drinking her blood. Before the woman died, I approached the vampire. I flew to the vampire and pinned him to the wall. He's facing the wall while I'm holding his neck.

"Where is Alfred?" It was hard for him to speak because of my grip on his neck but it's not enough for him not to answer my question.

"Go .. to hell ..." He said so I tightened the grip on his neck. This is one of the things that I didn't like, answering my question that doesn't even connect.

"Ok fine. You don't want to tell me? Hmm" I tore the sleeve of his shirt with my free right hand and a tattoo of the royal guard of the vampire's palace came up to me.

"So you're a royal guard. How about we make some deal?" He stopped struggling and nodded. It turns out that this conversation will pass through the deal, he's just prolonging it. I removed my grip on his neck so he fell to the ground. I moved away from him a little and acted as if I was thinking.

"Let's see. Look at me "He did what I ordered and our eyes met. I could see in my visions that he was very eager for money. Pity creature. I closed my eyes to stop the vision. "Here's the deal. I will make you the richest man in the city in exchange for telling me where Alfred is."

"How can I believe in what you are saying?" He said.

I raised my left eyebrow at him because of what he said so I used my power to make a gold bar. I could clearly see that his eyes were shining because of the gold bar. Such greed for money. I tossed the gold bar to him and he quickly took it. "I'll tell you where Alfred is," he said.

"Good. Now speak"

"He's in argg...ahh" He did not finish what he was saying because something strange was happening to him. He let go of the gold bar and started scraping his neck as if there's something inside of it and it was holding him back. He just kept going on, scratching his neck like there's no tomorrow until his skin is gradually torn then later on he exploded and turned to ashes.

I just turned my back on the vampire who turned into ashes. Cursed you, Alfred. I'll find you soon. My attention was drawn to the dying woman. I almost forgot about her. She's trying to reach me out, asking for help. She was holding her neck full of blood and she was slowly fainting. I started walking away from her but I suddenly stopped when she spoke.

"H-help me p-plea-se.." I turned around to see her.

"Ok. If that's what you wish for"

I took the dagger attached to my combat boots and wounded my hand. When I got close to her I squeezed my wounded hand and brought it closer to her mouth. My blood dripped to her mouth and her wounds were healed. I immediately withdrew my hand and walked away from her.

Using my blood, I can turn someone into a vampire. This is one of the abilities to have royal blood like me and I am the last one.

"Thank you... I owe you my life" she said. She slowly sat down as she tried to stand up.

" You can walk on your own, right?" She nodded at me but she fell down.

"I guess not"

I took her to the mansion because she could not be left there alone. It is dangerous for her and for the other humans since she has not yet passed the hunger stage.

I was greeted by the maids and some of the mansion guards as I step into the mansion.

"Take her to the guest room. Also, bring her some packs of blood" I said to them and they carefully carried the woman to the guest room so I decided to go to my room to take a bath.

When I entered my room and I immediately locked the door and started to undress. Then I went straight to the bathroom and put a bath bomb in the bathtub full of water.

Before I went home to the mansion, I immediately told my maids to fill the bathtub with water until it became their daily routine because bathing is my stress-relieving.  As I sat in the bathtub I gradually lost my stress.

Until I feel sleepy and my eyelids are getting heavier. I paid more attention to my relaxation and then I finally fell asleep.
