I put my arms on the railings and looked at the vast blue skies and the surrounding that doesn't seem to have an end. Unlike earlier, this place is in a brownfield, there were plants that looks like they'd die the next day.
The outside of the wall was ugly. And I heard, it's the best place you could ever find outside the wall that wasn't the mages' territory. And looking at it right now, it seems like the world is ugly.
We got here after walking for 4 hours. We had breaks but they were really short. Getting here within 4 hours was already short. Some get there in 6 hours or more. I don't know how our team made it right away. Maybe because the Commander only let us rest for 15 minutes. I don't know if it was because I ruined his mood or what.
We're in the Northern base and we will be split up into groups tomorrow and we'll start moving to our assigned mini-bases. We'll go together with our vampires but batch FCB-302 might be added to some bigger groups inside those mini bases.
This place is huge, and it's not the worst. I'd like it here even though I have to sleep inside a room with 8 people. But of course, I cannot change the fact that I will be moving out tomorrow.
I still couldn't get that reaction I got from the commander earlier. It was as if I asked him something wrong. i just don't feel right about it and I feel very suspicious that something is going on without everyone knowing. It's as if the people behind our system are keeping something from us.
And I don't like how I think this secret would end up. It could be the death of me or everyone else inside the wall.
But I highly trust the organization. My mother works there after all. And I know they would do nothing but secure us from everyone trying to harm us. And by entering the combat team, I was helping her. Helping her means a lot to me.
It had only been a few minutes when I got to the top floor but I already heard footsteps coming from behind. I put a grimace on my face and I heard the railing clank when he put his hand on it.
"Why do you keep on following me? " I asked him, making sure he gets the fact that I don't like it when he's always following me around.
"I wanted to come here, but surprisingly, you were here, " he said making me believe it was just a coincidence even though I am convinced that he knew I was here. I rolled my eyes and looked away from him. I thought if I'd let him here and he finds out it was boring, he might just go away.
So I continued talking to myself inside my mind. And accepting the fact that I just got out of the wall today even though it wasn't the best I expected because someone stole the kill from me. And he's sitting right beside me. I don't even know why.
But 20 minutes after, he didn't. And as time passed by, I grew more irritated by his presence staring at me. "What are you doing?" I asked him. I turned to face him. He was just sitting there with his legs wide open and his arms were crossed on his chest.
"Were you thinking about what happened earlier?" He suddenly asked me. Very well, this vampire just found out I was suspecting something and now he wants to be involved.
"Maybe they found a way to enter without the base knowing?" I said. Although I am starting to think about going to the base commander and asking them what had happened earlier. I suddenly want to join the people reporting about what happened earlier so I can ask.
"And?" he asked. He was asking for more but I get the feeling that I have to tell him something different. He's not convinced about the first one. "What is the use of radars then?" he asked me.
I hate that he's thinking of something farther from what I was thinking. I hate that I feel like he thinking about things deeper than I do. I'm afraid I might end up being dumb and stupid in front of him.
"Why don't you ask about what happened then?" I tried to get ahead of him so he doesn't ask me questions anymore and ended up being disappointed by my answers.
"I wanted to know your opinion about it, Human," he said.
"And why?" I tried not to budge.
He suddenly flashed a smile, "You can't answer?" he asked with a huge smile plastered on his face making me annoyed as hell.
I breathe in a huge breath before answering. "There could've been some difficulties with the radars," I answered him. I cannot think of anything else.
"Shouldn't that be fixed right away?" he asked.
"What if they had the difficulties as the dealings started coming in?"
"Once the radars get broken, they fix it or change it within 3 minutes. It's easy to change the radars, Ylena. How could the dealings travel miles within 3 to 5 minutes?" he asked me again. "Don't you think they let them in purposely?"
I thought so earlier. But after thinking about it for hours during the walk to this base, I thought no one would do such things. Soldiers are loyal. There is no way someone would let them in.
Well, I'd say that in the human's case. I don't know about the vampires.
"I trust the human organization," I told him. I stopped there to tell him that I am not quite convinced about the vampires. I turned to him and bent my other knee and leaned on the railing with my elbow as I cross my arms in front of me to see how he's gonna answer that. "I don't trust the vampires, though," I added.
I saw him smirk. "That's a good choice," he said. He smirked as he pull out of the crate he had made into a seat. "Don't trust any of the vampires,"
Those words felt like a warning. It was as if he wasn't just reminding me of something. But the truth is that I don't find any negative issues about the vampire organization. I felt intrigued by why he said that to me.
Does he know something?
"And what do you think about it?" I asked him.
He stopped and looked at me, "I thought the same way," he answered. But I know that wasn't true. because he wouldn't have questioned my answers if he thought the same way.
Or did he question my answers just to see if I was convinced with my answers?
I don't understand. I don't understand anything about him. I don't know why he's acting very myserious right now.
"And by the way? Shouldn't you be working on my dose right now?" he asked. He was stalking about his shot of my blood that I should be pumping out right now. I looked around and it was already dark outside. I completely forgot about that. "You shouldn't forget to give it by yourself if you don't want me to be the one taking it from you,"
I immediately thought about the possible assaults a vampire could do on me just to get a dose of my blood.
And now that he's immune to my blood, I have to live my life feeding him with it weekly. He wouldn't taste another's after mine. That's how it works.
I shot him a glare and walked past him to get to the door and walked down the stairs to the lab where I can get the apparatus to get my blood out and feed it to the animal walking behind me. Why is he following me when he can just wait?
I got there a few minutes later. All I need is to put on sterilized syringe on my arm and the machine would do its thing transferring the blood to a tube that can only be filled with just the right amount of blood a vampire needs for an entire week.
He sat on the bed beside mine. There were beds lined up with the apparatus. There wasn't anyone else in the room aside from us. There was no nurse who was supposed to be assisting me right now.
He watched me as I push the syringe through my skin and my vein. His stare at it made me want to tremble for no reason. I watched the blood come out from my skin and through the tube. I put myself on the bed as I look at the blood dripping from the end of the tube to a little glass tube.
While I was on it, my eyes caught him. I felt something in my stomach when I caught him staring at it. "You should get out," I said pretending as if what I just felt was because of the fear that he might not be able to stop himself from attacking me.
I saw him smirk. "No," he said. he continued staring at it. I kept my eyes away from him as much as possible as I wait for the blood to fill up the cup. He watched me as I get up from the bed and I looked at him and cup. "All yours," I said.
He stood up from the opposite bed and took the cup from the apparatus and he held it on his hand. I looked at him as he put the cup in his mouth and started drinking the blood in front of me.
I expected my reaction to being grossed out by it. But I suddenly felt mesmerized by the way the bump on his throat moved as he drink my blood. He was facing most of his back on me and I almost couldn't see it so I had to crane my neck just to see it clearly.
For no reason, I felt mesmerized. I stopped a bit before pulling the needle out. I blushed when I suddenly thought of the world I wasn't supposed to be thinking of right now.
Sexy.
I looked up at him after pulling the needle out. He licked off a little bit of blood from his lips and put on that annoying smile on his lips.
What the fuck?
