Lilly didn't say anything as she didn't know about what they were laughing and just followed Emma for the house tour.
" First let me show you the bathroom. You should wash up first and have something and then I will show you the house. ", Emma said.
Without saying anything to Emma, Lilly just followed her. It appeared that she had a lot on her mind which did not go unnoticed by Emma, who stopped her before she could enter the bathroom.
" Lilly. ", she said, holding her wrist. " I know that all this is very complicated to understand and hard, no, very hard to believe. You might feel like your whole world has collapsed but, it is not like that. Don't think anything for now and just focus on getting better. "
Lilly gave a faint smile to console her and without saying anything, she went into the bathroom, leaving Emma out, confused whether she understood or not.
After entering the bathroom, she again looked at mirror to see her reflection. She could see her red eyes but except that nothing had changed. Her hair and face were dirty as she had not washed up since yesterday.
At least that's what she remembered but, except red eyes, nothing had changed. Her hair, nose, eyebrows, lips, nothing.
She was not even able to feel any fang in her mouth and to her surprise, when she opened her mouth there were no fangs in her mouth. However, she kept on feeling thirsty for no particular reason and the thirst was not subsiding no matter how much water she drank.
Without doing anything, she kept on looking at her reflection as tears formed in her eyes.
She then clutched her erratic heart, feeling pain all over and her face started losing all color. She then, without saying anything or reacting, slumped down onto the floor, her eyes staring into space unfocused as tears rolled down her eyes.
" What will I do now? Why did this happen to me? ", she whimpered, putting her hand in her mouth to prevent sobs from coming out of her mouth.
Staying like that, she kept on crying for quite some time while Emma stayed outside the door, listening to all her cries as tears of sympathy also appeared in her eyes.
After crying her heart out, she took off her clothes to take a shower and as Emma heard water falling on the ground, she left to go to the kitchen.
When she came out of the bathroom, she had a different expression on her face. It didn't even appear that she was the same girl who was crying so pitifully, just some time ago. The aura she had was on a different level and she had a determined look in her eyes.
There was no one outside when Lilly came out and she didn't even know where to go but, she was able to hear faint noise of someone arguing. Following the sound, she reached the kitchen where she would Emma and Alex arguing about something.
" Is this how much I matter to you? Aren't you going to say anything? ", Emma said to Alex.
" Emma, just try to understand me. You know that I don't make these kinds of mistakes... ", Alex said but he stopped when his eyes fell on Lilly.
" Sorry we didn't realise that we were being too loud. ", Alex said. " Just wait for minute, breakfast is ready. "
" I understand. ", Lilly replied as she pulled a chair and sat there.
" I am sorry. I thought that I should give you some privacy and that is why I left you alone. ", Emma said, as she sat together, with Lilly.
" It's fine but I have a question I want to ask from Alex. ", Lilly said, making Alex freeze.
" What is it? ", he asked, turning around.
" I was able to hear faint sound of you both talking from quite a distance. Is that also because of me, turning? "
" Yes. Slowly your hearing skills and vision will enhance and you will be able to hear and see things better than normal people. ", he explained.
" I understand. "
Lilly's plain reaction was worrying Alex and Emma but they had nothing to say and just exchanged glances with each other.
Soon Alex finished preparing breakfast and served the food along with a bowl of blood to Lilly.
Lilly looked at him with questioning eyes, asking him what that was.
" If you want to get better sooner, you will have to drink this. Isn't it hard suppressing your thirst? ", Alex said.
" But... But isn't... But isn't this too much? ", she asked, stammering as it was hard for her to say.
" No, it isn't. You have to drink this to survive. "
" Is this human blood? ", she asked hesitantly.
Alex smiled at her question and said, " How can I get human blood in this day and age, like this. Do you think vampires preserve blood or something? "
" Then how did you get this and what is this? ", she asked, unable to understand him.
" It is animal blood. I thought that you will not be able to drink human blood and I had no blood available too. ", he explained.
" Can vampires drink animal blood too? ", she asked, surprised.
" Yes. It does not have same effect as human blood but a large amount helps. "
" And how do you get human blood? Do you kill others? "
" No way. Do you think we will be able to survive along with humans if we killed them just to get blood? ", he replied.
" Then how? "
" I will explain all that later but for now, just drink it first and then you can eat something. ", he said, pushing the bowl towards Lilly.
" And one more thing Lilly. ", Emma said, interrupting her. " As you have just turned, do not try to suppress your thirst. "
" Why? ", she asked, surprised at her warning.
" A newly turned vampire should not suppress their thirst until they become like a normal vampire. If they do, they will not know when they will lose control over themselves. ", Alex explained.
" What will happen if I will lose control over myself? "
" That will be very bad. You should not think about that. ", Alex replied, avoiding her question.
Lilly slowly and hesitantly brought the bowl near her mouth and she could smell the scent of coppery blood which was pulling herself as she brought the bowl near her mouth and her mouth moved towards the bowl like a magnet.
The moment a drop of blood touched her tongue, she could taste the blood which was as sweet as nectar and the veins on her temple popped out. She had never tasted anything like that but her eyes started glowing as she kept on drinking clueless about her eyes.
Lilly was not able to stop herself as she drank the entire bowl in one shot without wasting another second.
After drinking the huge bowl, Lilly could feel soothing relief which calmed her muscles and senses and the pain in her body also disappeared in seconds.
" Drink slowly Lilly or else you will choke on it. ", Emma said.
" Can I get some more? ", Lilly asked suddenly, surprising everyone.
Alex and Emma again stared in surprise and in next second Alex got up and refilled Lilly's huge bowl which he watched Lilly finish in one go.
" This tastes very sweet and has a very different and weird feeling. ", she said when she saw them looking at her.
" It's fine Lilly. You don't have to explain anything and it is understandable. ", Alex said, with a smile.
" Yes, it is completely natural. It was just surprising at how much you were able to drink in one go. Even I can't drink so much at once. ", Emma said, bursting into an awkward laughter.
Ignoring Emma's words Lilly started eating now as she was still hungry and the smell of delicious food was attracting her.
Without speaking anything, Lilly kept on eating as no matter how much she ate, her stomach remained empty.
She finished her breakfast in no time while Alex and Emma were not even able to eat a single bite as they kept on staring at her.
" Aren't you both going to eat? ", she asked a surprised Alex and Emma, who were staring at her wide eyed and open mouthed.
It was as if her words broke their focus as they went back to their meal, with hundreds of questions in their mind.
After waiting for some more time, Lilly asked another question again.
" When can I go home? ", she said, making Alex freeze.
