Stanley heard the words come from deep within him, one he could understand this time. However, they still sounded gibberish to him as he couldn't focus on it due to his whole body feeling as if thousands of needles were piercing him at the very same time, while his head hurt just the same as well.
He was on the verge of going unconscious from the pain, but he was just that short of it, so all he could do was suffer.
The woman saw Stanley struggling in the dim light and was genuinely surprised. She had used twice the amount of blood as would normally be necessary for a person to collapse into unconsciousness from the pain.
But somehow, the young man that was only a trainee was still not unconscious.
She quickly looked at the knife in her hand and decided to use more blood. However, to her surprise, the blood had already coagulated and dried up.
