After arguing with his mother for some time before she finally stop asking questions and went to bed leaving Abel to attend to his needs. And that is how the day went with nothing special happening except for the fact that he couldn't get a night of sleep soon the moment the sun begins to set, he has already left for school since he has nothing to do.
"since the werewolf is no longer around to give me hard time, I should take this time to hunt for some food" muttered Abel before he went hunting which was not a success.
After arriving in school, Abel thought of going to Mr. McCray's office but decided against that since they have already agreed on the time they were to start his training.
After waiting in his classroom for some time, his classmate begin to come in including Perry who seen to be in thought, and seeing him like this, Abel couldn't help but ask.
"Hey buddy why the sad face".
"it's nothing man, I'm just exhausted" replied Perry as he took his seat.
Abel knew straight that his friend has just lied to him because the Perry he knew was always happy to be in school but since he doesn't want to say anything, he decided to let him be.
Then came the lecture which was kind of boring until it was time for a break which Abel didn't hesitate to leave his friend behind as he went straight to Mr. McCray's office.
"So what other ability am I supposed to be in possession of" asked Abel after greeting him.
"I believe you still can't do this" replied Mr. McCray with his hand stretched out and the next moment, Abel so his finger begins to grow in size before placing it on the table as he pull down a little while leaving a deep line in its wake.
"wow that's sharp" said Abel in amazement.
"In battle, you have to utilize every means you have to make sure you are victorious and your nails play a huge role in that" replied Mr. McCray before withdrawing his nails.
"how am I supposed to make my nails longer like yours" asked Abel in excitement.
"all you have to do is visualize your nails growing on their own kid" reply Mr. McCray.
Following his instructions, Abel shut his eyes as he begins to visualize his nails growing and it didn't take long before he could feel some itching pain coming from his nail and he had to peek to see if it works but to his surprise, his nails only came out a little with a bloodstain at the edge.
"This is your first trial so it should be expected. Just keep trying later on and it won't be long before you get it right" commented Mr. McCray.
With a disappointing sigh, Abel withdraws the nails before asking further.
"Is there anything else that I need to learn".
"Yes there is, you see once you turn into a vampire, you are granted superhuman strength" reply Mr. McCray as he lifted the table in front of him with one hand while still remaining on his seat.
"That much be the reason why I was able to send the werewolf flying earlier when he try attacking me" said Jason as he seemed to understand this one.
"I see, but you seem to be a lot weaker compare to the other vampires which has to do with your lack of nourishment" replied Mr. McCray.
"You mean I will be able to get stronger if I were to drink blood" asked Abel.
"Yes but taking too much of it would oy turn you into a monster" reply Mr. McCray.
"When you say monster, do you by any chance mean those that became addicted to blood that they could hardly control themselves like in the movie" asked Abel.
"that right and it doesn't end there boy, once you become like those monsters, we will be forced to take care of you and you don't want to be taken care of by other vampires" replies Mr. McCray.
"This blood of a thing seems to be a double-edged sword" said Abel with a sigh.
"That's right so be careful when you are feeding" advises Mr. McCray.
"Okay I will keep that in mind, so is there any other ability I need to know" asked Abel.
"There is but you won't be able to use it right now" reply Mr. McCray.
"And why is that" asked Abel.
"That is because you are still too weak to activate your talent boy" reply Mr. McCray.
"Still too weak to activate my talent" muttered Abel to himself but Mr. McCray was still able to hear him.
"you see once been turned, every vampire was given a talent which could only be awakened once they have grown to a certain stage. Some were given the strength to run faster than other vampires while others have the ability to see the future of others and so on" said Mr. McCray with a chuckle.
"That is cool, so if I get strong enough, I will be able to gain one of those amazing abilities. I hope to have the ability to see the future" Abel couldn't help but smile when he thought about awakening his talent.
"that would be nice but first you will need to get strong before you can think of having those" replied Mr. McCray.
"I know about that. By the way what is your talent Mr. McCray" asked Abel as he suddenly gained interest in this ability of a thing?
"I can read others thoughts and control those that are weaker than me without looking into their eyes like other vampires would do" reply Mr. McCray.
"That is really amazing ability you have there Mr. McCray, so can you tell what I am thinking about right now" asked Abel.
"I guess I have said all you need to know, so do you mind going back to your studies" replies Mr. McCray as he chases Abel out of his office.
