Max took Liam's arm, his grip held tightly.
Liam tried to free himself but Max grip was strangely too strong.
Max held his arm, his eyes lost all white color and his canine teeth were longer than usual, he held Liam's arm as he tried to bite it.
Liam seeing the horror that was unfolding, quickly folded his hands and.
Punch!
He landed a strong blow on Max's face and he didn't just stop at one punch, he gave Max face three straight punchs.
Just then Max's eyes reverted back to normal and his teeth visibly reduced to its normal length, his grip on Liam loosened.
Liam immediately withdrew his arm as he stared at Max ready to take off at anytime should Max show any oddity.
"M..ma...man..man I didn't mean to do that" Max stammered as he staggered back, he looked at himself in shock.
He didn't know what happened to him, but as he stared at Liam's injury he felt a strong hunger that he couldn't resist and he suddenly acted on impulse.
Liam didn't say anything and just stared at Max wearily.
"Bro you have to believe me I didn't do that on purpose" Max said as he saw Liam's expression.
"I believe you." Liam said after calming down his riled up self, Liam felt that his talent was the ability to quickly calm down his emotions, he felt that nothing could surprise him again.
"But you ain't alive anymore are you?" Liam asked, he couldn't forget it, it was still vivid in his memory, him digging Max dead s body.
"I don't know anymore, maybe I am a monster now, I can't even walk under the sun" Max said his hands shaking.
"Wait, you can't walk under the sun?" Liam asked his eyes widening.
"Yeah, I can't, can you believe I sucked a man's blood today?" Max stated plainly deciding not to hide anything. He could remember the taste of the man's blood on his mouth even till now.
"Yeah, I can believe." Liam answered, why wouldn't he believe when he almost had his own drained just now?
Max rolled his eyes at Liam " I'm serious, I nearly killed him, it's like I couldn't control myself, I feel like a monster, a vampire maybe"
"A vampire?" Liam stared at Max as he thought deeply, there really was no other explanation, he couldn't walk under the sun and he also sucked human blood, Liam only knew of vampires that had such traits.
"Max this is really a dire matter, I didn't want to say this but the reason I reacted the way I did when you came into the room at first was because..." Liam suddenly paused.
"Was because?" Max asked looking at Liam curiously.
"Because you were buried and thoroughly dead, I personally digged out your corpse with my hands" Liam said looking at Max.
Liam then went ahead and told him everything that happened from how he digged Max's body out and how he came back and he was missing.
Max eyes went wide after listening to everything Liam said, "Bu...bu..but I am breathing I can't possibly be dead"
"That's what I am confused about." Liam replied shaking his head, they had to find a way to know what was happening to Max.
"You are here now, you can breath and do everything a living person does, even your heart beats, we have to deal with the first things first, you said you can't walk under the sun, I actually think that's a very huge problem" Liam stated in a single breath.
"I suck human blood too, I actually feel very hungry now and I have the urge to pouce on you"
"Hey, hey, you have to hold yourself as much as you can" Liam said taking a step back.
"I.. I..am trying, but I feel like I'm at my limit already, I feel very hungry" Max stammered, then his eyes began to cloud with blood.
"Hey?Hey!! Max!!!" Liam shouted as he took another step back.
"I am sorry." Max said as his consciousness seemed to fade.
"What do you mean by you are sorry?"
But he didn't receive any response.
Max eyes was completely darkened and his claws grew out.
He turned scary.
Damnit
Liam was shocked as he turned around to run.
But as he did he saw Max appear in front of him in a blur.
Liam staggered backwards.
He is too fast!
Liam's mind wandered on what he could do, but there was nothing.
Liam stared at Max, he remembered that Max was acting on instincts now so he took a dangerous step forward.
He decided to take a risk.
Something that no one will dare do if they were in his shoes, he took a forward step and then threw a fierce punch on Max's face, Max couldn't react on time and received the punch.
He staggered backwards as his eyes cleared a bit and his teeth retracted.
"Liam..."Max seemed to come back to his senses.
Liam only took a gamble, he remembered earlier that his punch brought Max back to his senses.
Maybe pain could bring him back temporary.
"This ain't time to call my name like a pussy, I need you to retain control as long as you can" Liam shouted not minding that it was night time.
"It's hard Liam, I am already losing it ..."
Punch!
Liam didn't even wait for him to finish whatever he was saying and landed him another punch.
"Shut the fuck up and fucking hold it in"
But the hit seemed to have little effect as Max eyes started to darken once more.
Liam couldn't risk his life staring at Max turn and suck his blood.
Thud! Thud!! Thud!!!
Liam immediately slammed Max head on the wall in a bid to knock him out.
His quick wit paid off as Max fell uncouncious.
Max body fell limply on the floor.
Liam sat on the floor as his heart beat rapidly.
What was he supposed to do now? This was night for godsake!!
Liam thought as he stared at Max who laid uncounciously on the floor.
