"WHAT?!"
I and the Zein girl were surprised by the sudden burst out of Zello. He's looking at me with his eyes almost sticking out.
We both gave him a questioning look.
"Ah..? Ha⎯ HAHAHA…" He just laughed awkwardly while scratching his nape. "Excuse us for a moment," he said and I saw him grabbing Zein's hands and they both disappeared from my sight.
'What… was that?'
Never mind that. First of all, what the hell is that royal blood, fallen blood, and that purest blood? They don't mean a pure-blood vampire, right? I'd be in big danger if they continue to think that I'm some kind of a pure-blood vampire in a royal palace.
I stood up and went to where the door is. I don't know where those two run off right after showing me such an unsightly scene. Well, I guess I'll just go and find out things on my own―
"Dameee!" and again, I was pulled back and saw myself sitting where I was sitting earlier. The two are in front of me again.
"Sorry for leaving you. Anyways, I must inform you first and foremost, don't try to go out for the time being most especially around this time until midnight." Zein said. Why do they feel a bit different from how they looked earlier? I mean, they looked agonized…
I felt a sudden feeling of irritation and disappointment. 'I thought they're different…'
I looked at them with the coldest stare I could give, it actually worked seeing how they stepped a little backward. I wonder how it worked on this two, but not on 'them…'
"You know…" I spoke, "Don't try ordering me around with such an annoying way of speaking. If you don't want me around, just say it…" I walked past them in a flash and stopped in front of the door. "I hate people like you the most. You're making me sick," after that, I destroyed the door and left.
We're in the middle of a forest, but unlike the forest where I first landed, this forest is the total opposite. It's a bit foggy, the trees are lifeless and I don't see nor sense a single living animal here. However, I can detect vampires around, though they're far from me so I guess I'll be fine for now…
"Ahhhh~" I blew a heavy sigh before looking up at the calm blue sky, "Right after I said I'd try to be a little nice…"
Can't help it. They're the reason why I became like this.
To be honest, I never imagined myself being such a hot-headed since both my parents are calm and gentle… but seeing myself right now, I feel so disappointed in myself.
'Mother, I want to go back to being a kid… when I still have no burden to carry on, no worries to think on…'
"Ack―!" someone suddenly covered my head. I couldn't fight, my hands were quickly handcuffed with a heavy⎯ 'stone?! I'm not sure what it is but it's goddamn heavy!'
"Who are you? Uncuff me and get this shit out of my head before I get mad." I warned. I'm starting to feel weak, I feel all my strength suddenly draining.
I can sense 5 of them. No one answered, I just heard them snickering.
Another one came, "Boss! We found a royal blood!"
"Are you sure? Let me see." Someone suddenly pulled me, forcing me to walk toward another vampire.
When I stopped, I smelled a disgusting scent of blood coming from the vampire in front of me.
The thing covering my head was taken off.
I saw a nasty smile flustered upon the face of the man in front of me. He looks exactly like the villain I watch in cartoons when I was a kid.
I want to smack his face until he couldn't smile anymore but I can't waste my strength struggling right now. I have to find a way to break free from these annoying handcuffs.
I remained calm while giving off the most dangerous aura I could put off, but I failed. I feel more weakened. 'What the hell is happening to me? Is these handcuffs the one draining all my strength? Damn it!'
"You must be a fallen royal." He uttered still having that annoying smile on his face. "We cough one again. Good job boys."
The vampires behind me roared.
"Crazy bastards," I mumbled. The vampire in front of me seemed like he heard it. He gave me a sharp look and gripped my chin tightly.
"Say what, bitch?!" he blurted out.
I just looked away but he forcedly pulled back my head in front of him. He was giving me a death glare but I felt nothing, he looks too normal and… ugly. Mrs. Tasha is scarier once she gets mad, compared to these bastards who look and smell disgusting rather than scary.
You'll see, once I get freed from these shitty handcuffs, I'll send straight to hell.
"Rotten. Piece. Of. Shit." I said to his face slowly but vigorously. He suddenly raised his hands ready to slap me, I immediately closed my eyes. I heard a loud thud but I didn't feel anything landing on me.
"Boss!!"
I opened my eyes and saw Zein and Zello.
Zello was positioned as if he just threw a ball or something and the bastard who was in front of me earlier is lying on the ground a little far from us. While Zein is beside me, sensing who'll take the first move from the five vampires at my back.
"What a―" I couldn't finish my words. Zello suddenly grabbed my hands and teleported me somewhere a bit far. I looked at Zein, she was currently fighting the five of them. She's just avoiding them using speed and teleportation. A black thing is coming from her hands but she couldn't seem to fully let it out due to the enemies that seem to have more experience in combat fighting.
Zello disappeared in front of me and I saw him already on the scene, helping Zein fight those guys.
Zello has a very fast speed but he's too young to keep pace with the five vampires. Despite the difference in strength between them, they're still fighting.
I remembered the villagers… 'Mother, father, what should I do? Should I help them? But they killed you, the villagers…'
'Haven, remember this. In every living creature, there is good and there are also bad…'
I stood up, lifted my hand, and hitted the handcuffs on the wall beside me.
I did all that subconsciously. I just realize I'm already running toward Zello.
The blood dripping on my hands that probably came from hitting my handcuffs too strongly on the wall suddenly formed into a reaper's scythe. This feeling… seems familiar.
I gripped it tightly, "Shine." I mumbled and quickly jumped off, before the vamtards boss laid his hands on Zello, I slashed his head off.
When I landed back on the ground covered with blood, I saw all of them looking at me without moving. I feel like I'm watching an action movie and I paused it when they're about to smack each other faces. That's how they currently look like, the difference is just that they're staring at me and not the enemies in front of them.
Such a nostalgic scene. Just that, I'm different now… I ain't gonna die by simple bites anymore.
In a flash, I'm already in the middle of them, "Light and darkness are what brings balance to the world… but do you know where complete devils like you belong?" I tilted my head and grinned, "To hell…" I was about to slash off their heads too but they disappeared from my sight and runoff.
I was about to step and chase after them but I couldn't. My head suddenly hurt so bad, and my vision started to get blurry.
I felt myself landing on the ground.
"Hey! Hey! Are you alright?!" I see Zein and Zello looking at me worriedly but I couldn't respond to them.
This kind of scene, I ain't gonna sleep for another 5 years, does it?
Before I totally lose consciousness, I felt a hot liquid coming inside my body. This feeling… seems familiar.
