Liam retrieved the phones from his pockets as he gave one to Max, "this is for you." He said.
"Thanks." Max said still reeling from the excitement of having powers.
Liam rolled his eyes at Liam's vivid excited expression.
"What's wrong with Jack by the way, my senses were sharper after officially becoming a Vampire, the way he looked at us seemed... Strange."
Liam shrugged his shoulders in response, he didn't know either.
Liam slept that night while thinking about what Sophia had said earlier today, he couldn't keep his mind away from what he might be.
He couldn't just be just a hearing device right? An unstable one at that!
Today he was able to make it stable a bit, he could hear clearer when he tried to focus.
Morning quickly came and Liam woke up feeling a bit tired.
Slurp! Slurp!!
Beneath Liam's bed, he heard this strange sound.
Liam looked down to see what was making such strange sound, as he looked beneath him, he saw Max holding a transparent IV bag with a straw connected to it.
Beside him were 5 empty satchets. Liam who was still feeling a bit sleepy quickly rose from his bed, his sleepy eyes being fully awake.
"Hey, hey!!." Liam called out lowly while looking at Jack and Lucas' bed space, fortunately they were fast asleep.
"What the hell are you doing?" Liam whispered.
Liam was actually dumbstruck, this guy was being a vampire in the open, without caring, what he was drinking was blood! Not juice! Blood!
"Morning." Max whispered back, the cottons were firmly closed so it was still pretty dark inside.
What's morning?
Liam was pissed. Lucas and Jack were still being kept in the dark, so he found it incredulous for Max to be openly drinking blood.
Seeing Liam stating at him that way, Max smiled then he stood up and stretched out, Liam's eyes followed his every action.
"I am a vampire now, I can tell how deep in sleep they are in, so don't worry they won't find out." Max said with a an uncanny expression.
Liam was pissed as he heard what Max said,
"That shouldn't make you drink all those blood, are you crazy or something, you are down by five bags in a single morning? " Liam almost shouted, he couldn't understand Max's action.
"My hunger is unusually strong and i couldn't control my self." Max answered defensively.
"Your hunger is increasing?" Liam asked worriedly.
"Yes." Max replied with a nod.
"That means..." Liam said as he opened the cottons, allowing the bright rays of the sun to pass through.
"What the fuck man!!!?" Max shouted as he ran for the washroom, his speed was commendable but his hands were surprisingly burning.
This time wasn't just a painful feeling, it was vividly burning!!!
The noise woke Jack and Lucas up. They looked to see what was happening.
Max was still wincing from the pain. But it slowly healed before the other two could see his burning hand.
"Whats wrong." Lucas asked from the top bunk.
"Nothing." Liam replied as he closed the cottons.
Max stared grudgingly at Liam, he had some explanations to give.
Jack just stared at the two, nobody knew what was going on in his mind.
Max walked towards Liam after the other two saw that nothing serious was going on.
"This is problem." Liam started before Max could say anything. "No coat can stop you from burning under the sun."
Max brows were already furrowed in deep frown. He didn't know what to do, He thought he couod bear the hot sun but now he couldn't even go under the sun anymore or he'd die!!
"Do you think Sophia can help with this?" Max asked.
"How do we even know we can trust her?" Liam replied with a question.
Max went silent after hearing Liam's question, he thought for a bit and then,
He really didn't care if she was trustworthy, what other trust wouod he need when his life was on the line. He had to find her for help!
"I know what you are thinking, I will find her, but in the meantime, I advice you stay indoors and when I mean indoor I mean far away from the sun." Liam said as he made for the door, the faster he found Sophia, the better.
He wouldn't be going out this morning if not because of his hearing ability, yesterday he learnt how he could control his hearing a bit, and if he focused or thought about somebody if the person was not extremely far he'd hear the person. Although it was unstable he had to get out and try to find Sophia.
Just when he opened the door and was about to head outside, he saw Evelyn standing outside the door with her disheveled hair and sleepy face. She was just about to knock.
"Heyyy." Liam said slowly with slight surprise, he didn't expect he'd see her this early, this was 7:22AM, he didn't want to go for any training in this period of instability.
"Good morning." Evelyn said, then she turned around and started walking out.
What the hell?
"Hey wait up." Liam called out, Evelyn turned around with a curious expression.
"You know why I came right?" Evelyn asked.
"Tell Eric that I can't make it today and even if I did I will be late." Liam said and then ran pass her.
"Wait, why?" But Liam just ran ahead. He didn't have the time to explain to her, he was in a rush.
Evelyn stomped her feet in anger seeing Liam ignoring her.
On getting to the school open area, Liam tried to focus his hearing to see if he could hear Sophia's voice, but nothing.
After trying for sometime and nothing, Liam got frustrated, he was really an unstable hearing device.
"Aaah."
Just then a loud voice filled his brain, Liam jerked when he heard the voice.
Was that Sophia? And why was she shouting?
He tried to focus on Sophia image to see if he could hear her clearer but the voice suddenly disappeared.
Liam was confused, he didn't know how his hearing ability worked yet.
"What the hell is wrong with you." The voice entered his head once again. "You scared me."
Evelyn?
"You know this body?"
"Tony?"
"Well, I don't care, just be a good food little girl!"
"Let go Tony, what is the meaning of....Tony, Aahh!!!"
!!!!!!!????
