"Argh!"
He stepped even harder. He crushed my hand. I tried to pull one knife to stab him in leg to release myself but the knife I grabbed was blown away with a strike.
"You can't even take some beating without bitching."
He raised his sword high.
"Release your mana, now. Otherwise my sword will sever your head."
He coldly declared. I tried to grab another knife. This time he stabbed me in the hand.
"No cheap tricks. If you couldn't defeat that werewolf with them, you are not going to touch me with those. Now, I will count down. 10."
"What the hell do you want me to do!"
"Release your mana. 9."
I didn't know how the do it! He didn't do nothing except beat me like a dog since I came here!
"8, 7, 6,5…"
Okay, calmly think. How did he moved? Fuck, he was too fast for me to see detailed.
"4, 3,2.."
He was serious! He actually meant to kill me!
"1, 0."
His sword fell down towards my neck. Even though it was fast, I could see it. I watched as blade get closer to severing my head.
"I think this is enough."
I heard a clap. While voice sounded similar, its tone was different than before. Edward lifted his leg and I got up. I clutched my bleeding hand. She was here. She looked same as the time I first saw her. She waved her hand, energetically. Meanwhile, I felt like dying.
"My, my! You look very rough. At least you look better with white hair and red eye."
I glared her. My hand went to my hair. It was true that it became white. According to my doctor it was Marie Antoinette syndrome. He also told me that my eye was damaged and that was the reason for color change. Though I knew better. The reason was the woman in front of me. She looked at me, as if to expect me to say something. I stayed silent. She cocked her head to side, like a curious puppy. She reached her hand to me.
"Come here."
I reluctantly walked toward her. She grabbed my wounded arm and bit it. While I was about to hit her, I realized that my wound was healing.
"Hehe! You don't have to thank me."
"I wasn't going to."
She stopped smiling before hugging me.
"Come on, don't be so cold nowwww!"
The way she drew her words made me angry for no reason. I tried to shake her off from me. But I realized that I couldn't move the arm she was hugging. She was strong! She also was stuck to me like a leech! I looked at Edward. With my eye, I pleaded for him to help me.
"Elizabeth, why are you here?"
Okay, Edward I'll forgive you for nearly killing me. Just get this woman off me.
"Why, can't I stay with my bloodkiiiiiinnnn?"
I wanted to hit her.
"You have no reason to. You already made me look after him."
… What.
"And you nearly killed him!"
"This is my teaching. Also, he could heal from most wounds."
I could? I looked at my hand. It was fully healed in less than a minute. But that was with her help, wasn't it?
"If I knew that you would treat him like this, I would never asked you!"
Since she seemed very heated arguing Edward, I tried to pull myself out of her grasp. As I I pulled myself with full force, neither me or she moved an inch.
"Can you let me go!"
"Nope!"
Are you for real?
"You didn't even explained him how things worked, didn't you?"
She finally let me go. She signed me to follow her. With one smooth motion, she jumped from this roof to another building. I looked wide eyed. Edward looked at me pitying.
"I can jump there."
"Jump then."
I breathed deeply. I ran to edge and jumped. I was able to barely cross to another building. Seeing me land, she smiled. Without waiting, she jumped to another building.
"For fucks sake."
I was barely able to cross here. Did she wanted to play tag? Gritting my teeth, I followed her. Everytime I caught up to her, she moved to another roof. After 30 minutes of chasing her I was breathing like a dog. Meanwhile she looked as if she was enjoying herself.
"Wait, huh."
I said while panting.
"Okayyyyy!"
I collected myself. Even though I was tired due sparring with Edward and chasing around Elizabeth, this wasn't first time I moved intensely for long periods of time. Controlling my breathing, I gained my composure back quickly.
"So your name is Burak Sarı."
"Yes. Elizabeth Bathory."
She smiled to me as I told her name.
"Did you accepted the fact that you are vampire now?"
"No."
I answered without any paused or hesitation. She pondered for a minute.
"Well, you will have a lot of time to accept it."
"Let me stop chasing around the bush. What do you want me to do?
No way in hell she didn't wanted anything from me. She just shrugged.
"Kill werewolves, I guees. But you already want to do it soooo?"
"I am serious."
"I am also serious."
Her tone was still light. She kicked a piece of rock. Her feet moved as if she was dancing.
"They are our race's nemesis. You also hate them. Win-win, I guess?"
"You don't want to control me or anything like that?"
She looked suprised.
"Well, I can do it. But why I would do it? As long as you didn't do stupid things?"
"Describe the stupid things."
She sighed.
"We want to stay at shadows. So don't go around, telling everyone you are a vampire."
"I don't think I can do even if I want to. Nobody would believe me."
"Oh, that's right. Also, never try to turn another one. Never. Ever. Not in hundred years."
"I don't know how to."
"Oh."
I sighed. She behaved like a child.
