Little by little I felt the outside return to me while a warm sensation ran through my body making me feel incredibly energetic and excited, and at the same time vague memories of what happened before came to my mind.
I was in a rare state between sleep and consciousness, where I felt that my whole body was resting calmly and comfortably but my mind was still active assimilating everything that had happened, from the moment we entered the bar to have fun until it all began. to get out of control and somehow I ended up getting involved with those monsters
- It seems that you already woke up from your long slumber by little and I thought you would not make it -
At that moment I heard a clear and familiar voice resound in my head when I suddenly noticed someone sitting far from me, as I was basically unconscious and everything was happening in my head the only thing I could see around was darkness and emptiness, but I was able to see perfectly My hands and other parts of the body in the distance I could only vaguely see the silhouette of that person that almost melted into the darkness, but I still knew somehow who it was.
- You are Lilah White right? Tell me what you did to me and Frank monster! -
Being a little excited I yelled without thinking about my worries, but in return I only received a sarcastic laugh from him
- Although you turned out to be different from what I expected, you are still a bit interesting so I'll be watching you, just remember ... from now on you are ... a vampire -
Undeterred by my question, he continued with his monologue while his voice became more and more distant each time until his silhouette had completely disappeared and just when I was about to scream again for answers the warm sensation that ran through my body seemed suddenly explode in heat
Making me feel as if I suddenly went from a hot tub or jacusi to being in the middle of a sea of fire in a volcano, burning me completely and drowning the scream that was in my throat
...
...
...
- Ahh! -
Suddenly getting up with a cry of pain the sensation of being burned alive suddenly disappeared and the focus returned to my eyes, looking around I noticed that I was sitting on my bed in the small room where Frank and I were staying.
Being a little surprised by this, I looked at my arms and hands, more specifically the wrist where they had sucked my blood until almost death, but there was no scar or mark in that area
The only difference I could find in my body was that my skin tone had lightened a bit, since I lived in a family that survived from fishing I had always been working in the sun and my skin had a tan tone, but it seemed that now it had cleared up a bit
- How strange, as it is possible that a wound like that has healed so quickly and perfectly without leaving a scar, I am sure that everything from yesterday certainly happened -
I muttered a bit taken aback by the situation, but at the same time I suddenly remembered Frank and how one of those monsters had sucked the blood down his neck and I hurriedly got up from my bed and went to the small room next door in the hallway that it was where Frank slept
The small apartment where we stayed in the city had only two small rooms, a bathroom, a living room and a kitchen, but it was more than enough for us and our frugal lifestyle.
Upon entering his room I noticed that he was also lying on his bed in a very uncomfortable position, but he seemed to be still alive, but he was not completely free of worries yet, I quickly settled him as best I could and checked the area on his neck where he remembered that it had been bitten and in fact there were two small, slightly healed marks left in the area, but more than a bite it looked like the bite of two abnormally symmetrical mosquitoes
This confirmed that what he remembered from the previous day had not been an illusion caused by alcohol, but there were still many doubts in his mind about what happened and how we got to our apartment safely, but out of nowhere a strong feeling of thirst attacked me. like a shot.
My throat felt so dry that it hurt to make any sound and my saliva suddenly evaporated completely, I had a strong urge to drink whatever liquid I found and when Frank's neck fell into view again an irresistible urge to bite into him and suck out all his blood attacked me with force
Stretching a hand towards her neck I stopped her suddenly when I noticed that my nails looked longer and sharper than I remembered and I could even vaguely see abnormal veins throbbing through my fingers, I also felt something hard pushing my teeth and lips as well as a tingle in my fangs
Thinking fast a reason why it came to my mind when running faster than I had ever done I left the room and entered the only bathroom in the apartment and looked at myself in front of the mirror, scared by what I saw
My eyes showed a slight tint of red in their irises, with visible veins around my eyelids highlighting the savagery in my gaze, with my light brown hair slightly raised like that of a cat on guard, but what stood out the most were the lengths and menacing fangs that had grown at least twice their original size and slightly protruded from my mouth
A terrifying thought came to mind as I felt my body temperature rise suddenly and my mind gradually lost its rationality, I could swear that little by little my image in the mirror was distorted as if it were going to disappear at any moment and the thought from biting Frank's neck and sucking all his vitality attacked my mind again
- Don't tell me I really did turn into a monster… into a vampire! -
I suddenly screamed as I threw the things that were in the sink and tried to keep my sanity and many malicious thoughts attacked my forehead when I heard a sound outside the bathroom that almost broke my last thread of rationality
- Hey Abel are you okay? Last night was crazy, but I hope it did not leave you any trauma or inconvenience, personally for some reason my neck really hurts ... -
Outside the bathroom Frank who had woken up from all the noise I caused was rubbing his neck with one hand while complaining about the pain he was having, and because he was somehow able to see through the door my urge to bite my friend's neck were about to overflow, but gathering all my willpower I decided to act quickly and leave the apartment
Sticking a hand out the door, I put it in front of Frank's face to cover his view as much as possible while he yelled at him and passed as quickly as possible next to him without noticing any abnormality
- Wait there! -
After quickly yelling it at him I headed for the apartment's exit door without noticing that right after Frank yelled at him he would suddenly lose focus in his eyes and stay stunned in place, but before leaving the apartment I decided to grab a big black coat I was hanging close by and cover myself as much as possible with it.
When leaving hurriedly I noticed that, although the sun was decreasing in intensity it still illuminated the sky strongly so it was probably past noon and for the second time in a row I had slept so late in my life, I hope it does not become a habit ...
But I didn't have time to get lost in my banal thoughts when suddenly the bustle of the streets fell into my ears, I was much more sensitive to sounds and smells than before, which put a lot of pressure and mental stress on me.
On impulse I ran as fast as possible in the direction of the less noisy and crowded area, running for an unknown amount of time I felt almost disconnected from the world as I tried to calm my surging impulses, it felt almost as if my feet were detaching from the ground and beginning. to fly to a far away place when suddenly everything went silent
When I realized I noticed that now I was in a secluded and silent alley in an area that I had never seen, I was totally lost but the silence in the area calmed me down and little by little I leaned against the wall of the alley and slid into a sitting position. on the floor
With so many things happening one after another and suddenly turning into a monster I felt lost and scared, I tried to calm myself to think about what to do next, but I couldn't stop shaking and the more I tried to calm down the more I became agitated.
- Wow, you're taking it better than I thought, I thought by now you would have attacked someone and I would have had to intervene -
Out of nowhere a familiar voice resounded in my ears making me look up and become alert, at the entrance of the alley a beautiful young woman with short black hair slowly approached while wearing sunglasses and wearing normal clothes with a low-cut blouse.
It was the "companion" with whom I had had blue blood at the bar the night before and who was about to suck my blood, the one called Hana who was also a vampire ... just like me now ...
- You !, return me to what I was before, give me back my humanity! -
On impulse I got up and tried to catch her as she demanded that they return me to normal, but before I could grab her my sight seemed to blur for an instant and the next moment Hana had disappeared and only an instant later and severe pain in my back. made him scream as he fell to the ground
- Hahahaha, you have the guts to attack me being just a vampire turned novice, and I'm sorry, but once you become a vampire there is no going back unless you prefer death, but don't worry I'm here just to be your guide and help you adapt rookie -
Behind me Hana's voice sounded and turning my gaze I noticed that at some point she had placed herself behind me and had stabbed my back with her nails leaving a deep wound, but strangely I did not feel much pain after the stab and only felt that hot spot and how the bleeding stopped itself quickly
- Because they did this, attack the bar patrons and turn me into a monster… will Frank transform like me too? -
I asked him as I tried to turn around and sit up, although I no longer felt pain from the wound in my back I still felt unable to move from the waist down, I am not sure if it is because I stab myself near the spine or that is a skill of her as a vampire
- Attack? We never attacked our clients, we only gave them what they were looking for, a moment of pure pleasure and in return we only took a little of their blood. And with respect to you ... it was the decision of the young lady to give you the opportunity to convert, you should be grateful or you would have died of bleeding -
He replied in a mocking voice as he took off his sunglasses and cleaned them a bit lazily before putting them back on.
- To thank? For "saving" me after almost killing me for having bled me out? -
I answer him with the same mocking tone
-Well maybe the lady wouldn't have almost killed you if you hadn't come out of nowhere and stabbed her in the throat with a knife you know ... normally in cases like those you just kill him and cream his corpse, you don't give him the opportunity to be reborn as one of us -
Listening to her I was speechless for a moment, it is true that it was me who first attacked her and stabbed her in the neck after taking her hostage, but I could not admit it or accept the fact that they had turned him into a monster for what I preferred keep silence
As if reading his thoughts Hana just snorted and turned to walk out of the alley as she spoke.
- Anyway, follow me, I will explain the basic rules and what your duty will be from now on while you serve the lady, the obvious signs that you are a vampire were already suppressed by me when I stabbed you before and by the way ... you do not need to clothe yourself So much so, that that we burn in the sunlight is just an urban legend, at most it would irritate our skin and nothing else -
Upon hearing it, I quickly checked my teeth with my hands and noticed that my fangs had magically returned to normal, in addition to the fact that the wound on my back was practically already healed, so I finally decided to stop and follow it.
Although I was very angry about the current situation, it would be useless to complain about what has already happened, it would be best to look to the future and the information that you will give me now will surely be very important for my survival, besides it could help me to get a future revenge
But most of all something was certain ... my life was about to change
