The unfamiliar ceiling with a big beautiful chandelier hung on it, she stared it calmly with her blurry eyes but inside her mind the wind of hunger and thrust for blood was raging fast.
It was almost uncontrollable and for the first time she felt like a lowly Vampire who might even pounce on the first person that come in radar of her blurry vision.
So hungry!
She felt the soft bed on which she was lying down and tried to move her stiff body. It was because of her recovering power which was taking her energy quite fast.
Just by a few drops of blood, her real body might have appeared and she might have regained her power to escape easily from the whole world… and enough power to get back at those who harmed her 50 years ago but she knew that it was just her delusion.
Even if she did drank some blood, no one will know what will be awaiting her after that! And why?
She moved her tiny shaky hands which almost felt as if paralyzed and lifeless because of her decreasing strength and tried to push it against the bed so as to get up.
Her hazy eyes were mostly surveying her surrounding even in that situation and as she sat on the bed, she looked around.
Neat and clean room, wall painted white, nothing shiny in particular and it gave her a feeling that it was a man room just by its layout. There were black curtains on the full-bodied glassy window facing the sun and a desk with few books kept in an order.
A perfect room for a man who likes cleanliness.
So, where is this place?
She slowly stood up, her eyes getting a little firm but she kept stumbling with every steps she took. The door was closed and she had no strength to use her power when her every strength was getting used to recover her original body and she knew the real cause behind it.
Cassie was originally planning to get back at her shape slowly by recovering her powers slowly but when she used Kye's power to get out from his mansion, it caused a side effect and ultimately she couldn't control her back flow of powers which were gathering inside her heart to fill it and recover quickly.
Using a wolf King power's when I am in my vulnerable self and moreover not even a wolf but a vampire, it is triggering my energy to circulate back and blast if I can't get some blood in mean time.
"Pig's blood is equal to Kye's blood but I am comfortable with any of the blood!" she muttered subconsciously and came to a conclusion.
I should cool my self and my mind to control the backward flow of the energy within me since I can't get any food in this state with my own self and who knows where am I and where is that person who brought me here.
What is his real intention toward me is unknown, so its better to try to control the energy flow within my body. Only by stopping it from filling my heart, can I become sober.
There was no door to the bathroom to begin with and only curtains were there, so it was comparatively easy for Cassie to enter inside, but what was more of a challenge was that she was having a hard time just by staring at the empty bathtub and the tap looked thousand kilometers away for her tiny body in that troublesome situation.
"Just a little bit more!" she mumbled while flailing to open the tap while standing at the edge of the bathtub.
Even a little wrong move and she was bound to fall in that bathtub which could be harmful for her head. Her shaky hands trying to reach the tap with everything she got and lastly she succeeded in moving it but as soon as her hand left the tap, she fall in the bath tub.
Her eyes closed in fear as she was about to fall but nothing happened and she muttered, "A fox!".
"Yes, a fox!" said a man whose voice was gentle yet hostile to Cassie ears.
She opened her big round eyes just to find out that she was floating in air and above the bathtub.
Cassie gasped just by looking at the man with golden hair yet a little silver, his eyes cold as if met a huge disaster and what more shocking was…
A fox to be seen before her eyes was a huge catch since foxes have been extinct for ages and ages around.
Fox for generation were called as auspicious even among humans unlike vampire and wolves which were thought as inauspicious. They were treated generously and worshiped among humans and they even gave them human sacrifice just to receive their one drop of tears which could change someone's fate.
These things become a tale and lived in others heart like a story since hundred decades passed by after the fox went extinct.
So, the question appeared in Cassie heart and rather then keeping it inside her heart, she said it loudly, "What is an extinct being doing here?".
Her tiny hand scooted on her mouth to shut it up from blabbering endlessly and she gulped as he stepped toward her.
"St-stay there… uh.. um, don't come near," Cassie said with her trembling voice just to put an act of being scared by him so as to hide her real self from him.
"Don't act! I know everything about you," stepping forward with his long legs, he said.
She flinched and looked down at the bathtub which was almost about to overflow…
but something is wrong, I don't feel the dizziness anymore.
"Sleeping for 50 years, did you forget the way the natural way of power flow? Only strong beings can use powers of other beings then themselves but right now you are in a situation where your heart would have been burst if not for your noble blood flowing inside it," coldly he said and stopped in front of her.
"So, you know everything!" her eyes furrowed and lips pursed.
There was no mocking expression on his face neither suspicions but he was hiding an anxiety deep within himself which was visible to Cassie who was feeling foreboding with him for some reason.
"Tell me, why did you brought me here? And what is an extinct fox doing here in the city where vampires, wolves lives together with humans. I remember how the fox clan went extinct still seeing one here is quite surprising," she questioned him in hope of getting an answer.
Looking at his aloof face which hid something within it, she frowned as he ignored her words and pointed his index finger to control the power which was keeping Cassie in air.
Slowly, rather then dropping her in the bathtub filled with water, he put her on the small bath chair kept near the bathtub and rummaged inside his pocket to grab out a small bag of blood.
"Here you go!" he said as he outstretched his hand a little down to give her the blood packet.
Nothing stopped her hungry stomach even her suspiciousness went flying in front of her growling stomach and she drank it after snatching it from his hand.
"Ughh! It's not as tasty as the blood I got from that demon son!" she muttered while putting out her tongue which showed her displeasure in drinking that blood.
"I have helped you in controlling your back flow of energy, so it will not back flow and fill your heart. You don't have to worry about anything, so just stay put and be my hostage!" he turned back as he said those words.
She stared him blankly as if trying to understand the meaning of hostage again and again.
I didn't heard it wrong, right! He is talking about taking me as an hostage, but from whom?
