Taking a big gulp of the liquor, Tahir began.
"I'm actually an orphan, never really got to meet my parents. They were sort of caught up in the war. I was thrown to the streets in my neighborhood, everyone called me the devil.
At first it hurt, but then I adapted to love the name. I was bullied and hurt, the streets taught me to stand up for myself as no one would. I became a thief and a lot more. I adapted to the name the devil. Later on the shadow fang guild leader adopted me. I was trained to become an assassin. I was thought to kill evil. Unlike my teammates, I was considered the fang's son and was treated differently.
I was weak, but someone taught me how to use the sword. Somehow she died in the mission I was supposed to take. Before she left I promised her, I'll take her legacy, I'll continue our unfinished dream. I'll become the strongest person in the world. That's how I became a three swordsman.
Two belong to me and one belongs to her. Cassy was somehow sent to retrieve the girl's sword. The people who sent her won't stop at anything to get the sword".
"That just explains merely your background. The power you were using, we saw you consumed blood. The healing wasn't just anything. Even healers don't heal that fast." Kris asked.
"You are right, this is merely my background explanation. About the ability you saw me used back then. I actually don't know how it happened. I saw a box in front of my house, the admission letter was in it. And a paper. I chanted the words and noticed some changes happening to me.
"I really couldn't control myself with the urge to take blood". Tahir answered.
"You don't expect us to believe you right," Kris said.
"He doesn't need us to believe in him, he could have killed everyone on the scene without breaking a sweat, but here we are saying he's lying? What good is his lie to us?". Jude asked.
"His right, Instead of lying, he could have ended our life and saved himself the stress. And judging from the way he was fighting, he wasn't sure of his powers. I mean his ability doesn't look like someone who has been fighting with it for years." Esha added.
"I'm in support of them, I don't see any reason for him to lie to us, so I'm trusting him, considering he also went out of his way to protect us." Zahra said.
"I understand I have somehow kept this from you guys, and I'll say that was intentional. Knowing about me is very risky and might endanger you all. I'm accepting my mistake and I understand if you guys are angry with me. I'll detach myself from you all. But I'll be taking Cassy with me, as she is considered a threat". Tahir added with a serious tone.
"So in short you saying you a vampire?" Kelvin finally speaks.
"Yes, I'm a vampire, and I might be more," Tahir said.
"I promised to follow you till the end, so I'm not going anywhere, regardless of whatever you are". Jude said while standing up.
"Hell no. I'm not going anywhere, not if this dude gets to stay". Kris said.
"Neither am I going, you saved us, I owe you that". Esha added.
"Oh well, I'll be staying too". Zahra said.
"Are you all sure?" Tahir asked
They all nodded in reply to the question.
Standing up Tahir ringed for the nurse.
Immediately she arrives, Tahir told her he was okay and ready to be discharged.
A few papers were brought and Tahir signed them.
He and his friends arrived at the dorm room and he asked to be taken to cassy.
"Do you know how and when I knew you were a spy?" Tahir asked as he was walking towards the cassy.
Not waiting for an answer he added, "
I knew the moment you entered the school, the moment you drew your sword out to go against the teacher, I mean who brings out a marked sword to fight. You thought I was too dumb to find out?, Or You were too dumb to not remember it was marked?."
Not answering cassy voiced out again,
"if I don't bring the sword everyone you have ever known would be killed, everything and almost everyone would be wiped out of the school."
"That's why, you're going to tell them you need more time to get the sword, tell them you would bring the sword after the end of this term." Tahir said.
"Everyone you love would die!! Are you gambling that with the organization believing me ? Cassy said a little bit scared."
"Love? I don't love anyone. Love has brought nothing but pain and suffering to me. An assassin bound by feelings and emotions is simply considered WEAK, and I'm everything except weak. Don't get the wrong impression. I don't joke with the safety of my teammates. And I care about them alot." Tahir said with his eyes glowing red.
Signaling Kris, he undid the cuffs from her hands as he went close to cassy.
"What so special about her sword, why the hell won't you all let her rest. Why will you keep wanting the sword!!" Tahir screamed in anger.
"How could I have forgotten that, I failed the organization once again. But they won't be coming after only me, and I'm sure you know that". Cassy said, serving an answer to the first question.
"They actually sent you to take the sword in hopes I killed you. So cassy I'm giving you one more Chance. Are you part of our team? Joining our team means you become my responsibility and I become yours.
I'm giving you a chance to prove to the organization you were never useless". Tahir said with a sly smile forming on his lips.
"But what about when they come to the academy to take care of the issues themselves?" Cassy asked.
"About that I have a plan". Tahir answered.
