After talking with Dennis for hours and learning a lot of things from him, he went to his room to get a good night's sleep. As he laid on his bed, he thought about Toni and he really missed her but he couldn't bring her back so he had to move on without her.
Hours later with Asher already asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes as rain was falling outside the house. He grabbed his neck as he felt like something was choking his neck, restricting his breath. He didn't see anyone but he knew that he was being choked and he was dying slowly, he finally reached a realisation. Maybe a witch or mage is responsible for this but who could attack him in the same house that Dennis and Dina stayed in?
He managed to stand on his feet, at least he had to inform Dennis and Dina that he was being attacked. He shouted loudly and the choke stopped before he fell to the ground, gasping. He was on his knees as he gasped for air before the door was blasted out of its hinges. Asher quickly rolled out of the way and the door hit the wall behind Asher before shattering into pieces that flew to every part of the room.
Asher looked up to see who destroyed the door, the person he saw shocked him.
" Dennis? Why?" Asher muttered before Dennis walked into the room. Dennis stretched his hand towards Asher and he lifted him off the ground with his powers before throwing Asher against the wall. Asher stood up again but before he could look up, he was thrown against the ceiling, destroying the ceiling. He was thrown against another wall then he wall then another wall before Dennis stopped.
" Why?" Asher asked as he got up on his feet.
" You know the reason why I am attacking you. I didn't know that you are such a pretender, you managed to get past me." Dennis said with anger.
" I don't know why." Asher said as he looked at Dennis calmly.
" You are a Vampire!" Dennis shouted and Asher finally realised why Dennis attacked him.
" How did you know?" Asher asked.
" I conducted a ritual and that confirmed your race." Dina said outside the room.
" My mother saved you and she cared for you but this is how you want to pay her back?!" Dennis asked.
" I never planned to hurt her and I will never hurt her." Asher responded.
" Vampires are meant to feed on human blood." Dennis retorted.
" But I don't feed on human blood." Asher shouted back but he was cut short when Dennis lifted his body and he threw him outside through the window.
Asher coughed blood as his back hit a tree before Dennis came out of the house as he floated in the air.
" You have to die, I am sorry." Dennis said and he threw a wind blade towards Asher that laid on the ground. Asher quickly stood up and he jumped away from the wind blade, as he looked up he saw Lauren standing at his front.
" Dennis stop! I won't let you kill him, he is a good man although he's a Vampire, he has never hurt any human." Lauren shouted as she blocked Asher with her body.
" Mother get away from him!" Dennis said.
" No I won't! Let him live Dennis. I didn't raise you this way, I raised you to treat everyone with fairness and that includes Vampires." Lauren said and Dennis landed on the ground with a defeated look on his face.
" But Vampires are dangerous." Dennis said.
" He is not." Lauren responded sharply.
" Okay! I will spare him but I don't want to see him around you or this house." Dennis said and he flew into the house.
" Thank you Lauren." Asher said before Lauren hugged him tightly.
" You don't have to leave, I can convince him to let you stay." Lauren said.
" You don't have to, he is just protecting his family." Asher said and he meant what he said, he didn't resent Dennis. He was just protecting his family from something he didn't know after all, something he thought to be dangerous.
" Where will you go?" Lauren asked Asher.
" I will find somewhere, you don't have to worry." Asher said as he hugged Lauren back.
" Bye Asher." Lauren said and she released Asher from the hug, Asher walked away from Lauren and her house.
" I will call you." Asher shouted when he was already far away from Lauren. Lauren couldn't help but cry, she had a good time with Asher and she would miss him.
Asher walked away with the shirt and the trousers on him and a bit of money that Lauren gave him. He thought about the time he had spent with Lauren and how she had been so nice to him although she knew she is a Vampire, a creature said to be dangerous. Now it seems he has to go into the world himself now and discover his purpose on this planet.
He waved down a bus that would take him to the city, the bus stopped at his front and he stepped into the bus. The ride was silent, none of the passengers in the bus talked, they all kept their words themselves. Minutes later, he was dropped in the city and his goal was to find the man that called him when he first came to the city with Toni. Then he didn't know who the man was but now that he has the body memories, he knows that the man is a drug peddler named Zeke. He didn't know where Zeke resided but he felt like he knew where Zeke was, he could smell him!
" Maybe it's a Vampire ability." Asher rationalised as he walked around the city, looking for Zeke. He asked different people he met on his way if they knew Zeke or where he stayed but what he didn't realise is that some of the people he asked worked for Zeke and they already went ahead to inform Zeke about Asher. Asher didn't know this as he kept looking for Zeke, he didn't trust his smell so he just did it the human way. He stopped walking when he noticed that he was surrounded by fierce looking men.
" You are looking for Zeke?" One of the men stepped forward and asked.
" Yes, you know him?" Asher asked.
" Yes." The man said before Zeke appeared behind the man and he walked towards Asher.
" Asher, nice meeting you again." Zeke said with a big smile face.
" The last time we met, you ran away from me but now you are here looking for me." Zeke added.
" Yes, I need your help." Asher said slowly.
" Why should I help you?" Zeke snapped as he suddenly got angry. Asher knew why he got angry, in his body memories he saw that Asher messed up a lot of deals that Zeke had.
" Because there is something for you." Asher said.
" What do you need?" Zeke asked.
" A million Riara." Asher said, Riara is the currency used in the country. Hearing this, all the men around Asher including Zeke laughed loudly.
" What's funny?" Asher asked as he also laughed, confusing Zeke.
" How dare you ask for that amount?!" Zeke suddenly shouted.
" I didn't ask, I demand a million Riara from you Zeke." Asher said slowly and Zeke couldn't stop his body from shuddering after hearing what Asher said.
" Why should I do that?"
" Because I said so." Asher said, he didn't come to Zeke to waste time, he needed the money to facilitate his plans.
" Beat him up!" Zeke shouted and his men ran towards Asher to attack him. Asher sighed and he grabbed Zeke's head, pulling Zeke towards him before slamming his face on the ground. Zeke screamed in pain as a tooth flew out then the blood in his mouth mixed with the sand on the ground.
Zeke's men stopped when they saw that their leader was overwhelmed with just one attack!
" If you want to end up this way, then you should attack me." Asher said calmly as he held Zeke's head to the ground, he didn't like what he just did. But the world only made way for the strong and the weak to die underserved deaths… like Toni and her family. He has a mission and he would achieve it even if it means destroying the whole world.
" I will give you two days, get the money to me… I am at the nearest inn." Asher said and he walked away, the men made way for him because they didn't think they could take him on. What they didn't know is that if they all attacked him, they should be able to bring him down, Asher didn't have his Vampire powers yet and he also didn't have any fighting skills. He just relied on his brute strength and his instinct.
After walking away, he thought about the sword he stole and he wanted to retrieve the sword when he was far away from this city.
