"...I drank... Blood...?".
I question to no one in particular as I look incredulously towards the object that laid atop my palm.
It was at this moment that reality finally hit me; illogical physical modification and alterations, a non-existent heart beat, an in-human speed and an extraordinary sense of smell. It doesn't take a genius to know that I'm no longer a human.
And from these changes in my physicality and five senses, I'm more inclined to believing that I'm a vampire like the ones in movies. Kind of obvious due to the fact that I drank literal blood.
"..How is this possible?"
Countless more questions began to plague my subconscious with each passing moment, without receiving the answers it deserves.
"....arghhh..what the hell!.." I angrily complained as I realize that my life is going to change drastically, hopefully not for the worse. I look quite different from how I was before, so going back to how things were is merely a pipe dream. Unless I say I did some surgery, and I'm not quite sure if there are surgeries available to increase the length and sharpness of teeth, canines in particular to such a level, bizzare growth spurt of a couple centimeters and a highly athletic physique overnight.
Pushing away my steadily accumulating thoughts, I draw forth my attention to my current situation.
I take away as much blood that could be sourced from an adult male, which is almost up to 10 pints of blood, just in case these urges reinstates itself. I put all the blood in a backpack I found randomly in the hospital before staging my departure.
I stealthily sneaked away from the unsuspecting doctors and clinical workers while moving through blind spots in the security cameras.
I then decided to retrace my steps back to the abandoned building that I had just come out of in order to assess my current situation before going anywhere else.
After reaching my destination, I placed the backpack full of blood on the floor before I started thinking to myself.
"So...how much time has passed since I 'died'...?"
While saying this I instinctively reached out towards my pockets to get my mobile phone so I could check the current time and date.
I searched my pockets for a while but still couldn't find what I was looking for. Eventually remembering that I broke my phone and threw it away some time ago.
As I realize this, I rise to my feet and finally opted to go home since staying here provides no useful benefits.
Before I packed up my bags to start going, my sensitive hearing picked up a distinctive sound of someone screaming for help. I don't consider myself a hero who will risk his life for others, but for some reason I still rush forward, towards the sound to see if I could help, mildly assuring myself that I would escape at any sign of danger.
When I arrived at the alley in which the screams emanated from, I spot a beautiful young woman wearing dirty clothes, surrounded by three ferocious looking men.
One of the men who was most probably the leader of the trio, inched closer to the woman with obvious bad intensions. But before he could even act, I had already sprinted forward and launched a fist to his temple, knocking him out instantly.
This action naturally alerted his accomplices,and surprisingly, with my fast reflexes I was still able to hit one more man with a kick to his jaw, also knocking him unconscious. To my dismay the last man brought out a knife from his waist pocket.
"Who the heck are you!?" The man questions with apparent malice.
I silently shifted my gaze to the knife in his hands and my expression stiffened. I knew that I defeated those two because my sneak attack caught them off guard, but the last one now has his guard up in addition to possessing a deadly weapon so I became unsure of even my survival.
Before I could consider making a run for it, the man attacked, thrusting his knife towards my abdomen. But because of my heightened senses and quick reflexes due to the previous transformation, I was still able to dodge the attack perfectly to the side.
I grabbed and twisted his wrist, which made him loosen his grip on the knife, slightly pulling him towards myself then lunged a knee straight to his face, thereby, breaking his nose while simultaneously knocking him out.
I looked at the unconscious men on the ground with surprise for my newfound power. The fact that they were defeated in less than 15 seconds remains a testament of my immense strength.
I calm my thoughts as I focus on the reason I did this whole thing in the first place.
"Hey...you alright?" I say as I face the woman whom I had just saved.
The woman's eyes widened in fear at the scene before her.
Three men lay unconscious on the ground while I stood tall above them without even breaking a sweat after the fight, it doesn't help that my eyes were glowing red in the dark giving me quite an ominous aura.
"...y-yeah, I'm f-fine." she replied with a shaking voice, fear evident in her tone.
"Don't be scared, I won't hurt you.." I try my best to comfort her to get her mind off the traumatic situation she just experienced.
"What's your name?" I proceed to ask.
"... Lily.." She quivers softly as she answers. She curiously stares back into my eyes presumably trying to figure out my name as well.
Sensing her thoughts I answer awkwardly,
"..Uhh hey, I'm ...Adam..."
