Chapter 2 - AFTER FIVE LONG YEARS

"Svetlana, breakfast's ready!" Konstantin said as he prepared the table for breakfast. Svetlana arrived to have her breakfast. The food looked strange to her. She couldn't wait to taste it. She took her seat and took a spoon of the pelmeni that was on her dish.

"Mmhm, what is this? It's so good" Svetlana praised.

"You're a vampire robot...you should know" Konstantin said with a smile

"Pelmeni. They are pastry dumplings are typically filled with minced meat and wrapped in a thin, pasta-like dough" Svetlana said with a smile.

"Good. But these aren't for you" Konstantin said as he dragged the plate away from her. Then he places his arms in front of him.

"These are" He said. Svetlana was shocked. She didn't want to drink from the blood of her father.

"Go on... I'll endure" Konstantin assured and then Svetlana slowly sinked her fangs into his arms. She sucked and sucked until Konstantin began patting her on her shoulders to stop. Then she did.

"I'm sorry father, did I hurt you?" Svetlana asked.

"No, not at all. But we have to teach you how to control your urge so you don't end of killing your prey" Konstantin said.

"I think it's better I just stay off drinking blood. I don't wanna get too addicted" Svetlana said.

"If that's what you want then it's fine. But you need to drink blood at least 5 times a week. You might break down if you don't" Konstantin said.

"Okay" Svetlana replied. "Father, can I ask you a question?" She continued.

"Sure" Konstantin said with a smile.

"I scanned you... You're not like me" Svetlana said.

"Of course, I'm human with superpowers and you're a robot" Konstantin said.

"No, not that...you are a human with superpowers and you're also a vampire" Svetlana said.

"Yes, I don't like that part of me. I will never embrace vampirism...not after what it did to me" Konstantin said with contempt.

"Can I see?" Svetlana asked. Knostantin paused for a while then he allowed Svetlana take a look at his past. She places her hands in his. Then she closed her eyes.

INSIDE KONSTANTIN'S HEAD

Svetlana walked around a certain place she was in, trying to find Konstantin. Unknown to her, she was in Pavlovich's layer. She took a turn and then ended up in the room where Konstantin's blood was taken. She saw how he suffered, how he screamed because of the pain he went through. She also heard the discussion between Pavlovich and Konstantin, how he told him to drink blood or else he was going to die.

Then she entered another phase of his memory. This time around, she was in his laboratory. She saw how they just threw him into his lab without even checking if he was going to be alright. Then she saw his little daughter running towards him. She tapped him to check if he was alright. She was scared for her dad so she quickly called her mum. Konstantin's bloodline had the power of looking into someone's past and/or future, so his wife bent down and laid both her hands on her husband's head. She closed her eyes and began meditating. She saw the things Pavlovich did to him. She realised her husband was a vampire and needed to drink blood soon or he was going to die. She knew it wasn't safe so immediately she's done with looking into Konstantin's head, she tells her daughter to run.

Konstantin's eyes eventually opened. He caught his wife before she could escape. She sucked her dry and then killed her. His daughter was close to escaping but he caught her with his vampire speed. Then he sucked her dry and then killed her.

Svetlana was horrified at the sight that she immediately removed her hands from Konstantin's. At that moment, she got scared.

"I was a monster...since I killed my family, I never went outside again. I'm a potential threat. I'm like a hybrid so I can go on without blood for years. I trained myself" Konstantin said trying to assure Svetlana of her safety.

"Pavlovich will pay for what he did to I swear it...when do I start training?" Svetlana asked.

"Right now" Konstantin answered.

"I wasn't expecting that...so fast" Svetlana said.

"Getting to Pavlovich Krushschev is a hard task. I haven't gone outside for 5 years. A lot can change. Five years ago, humans with superpowers were inferior to the vampires. Who knows whether it has changed. Maybe the vampires are now afraid of us or maybe we coexist, who knows?" Konstantin said. As he spoke, Svetlana was already going outside for the first time. The doors to Konstantin's laboratory were opened for the first time since five years.

Svetlana examined the city. She saw that it was even worse. She called upon her father to see. He came quickly to have a look at the city. It was looking a bit disastrous like a war happened or something. They came across a supe and asked him what had happened.

"You don't know? Pavlovich happened. The supes tried to riot against his reign but we were no match for him. Some how he became a hybrid. A vampire with superpowers. With just his mind, he could control multiple people at once. That was how he wiped away hundreds of our kind. Since then, no one dared to stand up to the vamps. They own us now" The random supe said.

"So, it's still the same huh? After five long years" Konstantin said.

"It's gonna change soon father, it's gonna change" Svetlana said confidently.
