"That was a great al," I said leaning back on my chair and patting my belly. I haven’t had a German al before so I was worried about how it was but honestly, it was great. Ama’s cooking really impressed . "You have to teach how to make this food."
"I will, but that is after you co back from the mission," Ama said leaning forward on the table having a gentle smile on her face. She was really happy that I was enjoying the al given that it was the first ti that she ever cooked for .
I let out a little burp and instantly covered it with my hands. Looks like I have eaten a little too much tha I had expected. Seeing this, Ama chuckled and I started laughing with her. The ti for the mission was going to be soon and now that the mont was going to co this close, I started feeling a bit nervous. I started shaking my leg and placed my hand on my knee to calm it down but I couldn’t I was not going out of control but I was nervous.
"It’s finally getting to you hmmm?" Ama said as she noticed shaking my legs. "It’s common when you know you are going on a very dangerous mission like this one. I know you joined just recently and are not as strong as everyone else on your team but rember why you are going there Kazu-chan."
"Yea, it’s not to kill Dominic. As much as I want to, my main focus is on to first get Ai out of there. Then if I have the chance, to give Dominic the most torturous death ever," I said while clutching my fist. Okay, I need to calm down first. Looks like taking control of your emotions is way harder than one thinks.
Okay enough thinking about Dominic, I should think about Ai right now. I need to get her out of there as soon as I can. With every second that passes, Ai was suffering and I couldn’t bear it anymore. Yes, I could sohow push away the thought to the back of my mind and focus on training but the thought was never gone, just at the back of my mind. That’s all…
"I think I’ll rest up a little before leaving," I proposed and Ama seed delighted by what I said.
"Good to hear that! You can rest in my room and I’ll join you later~" she said and winked at . Yep, the old Ama is back.
"I’ll just rest in the room where you told to take a shower. Also, did the clothes dry yet?"
"They will still take so ti but you will be back in them before you leave. Don’t worry about that," Ama replied. "Now go and rest up plenty."
She pushed out of the living room and I started making my way up the stairs and went to the room. I put myself on the bed and stared at the white ceiling above . Man, why do so many rich people want the ceiling of their rooms to look like that of a hospital? I guess it is the level of standard they put on themselves. I don’t really know what standard I am talking about.
"Ethan," I called the First’s na. "As a vampire, is there sothing you had trouble with dealing?"
"Oh, my? What is this I am seeing? Soone seems to be interested in knowing more about the almighty," Ethan replied in a proud and haughty voice.
"I just want to make so small talk to pass the ti," I said and stretched my body on the bed. "This mattress is too soft for my liking and I don’t think I will be able to sleep anyways given my nerves are slowly starting to creep up on ."
"So what? I am supposed to entertain you?" he asked in an amused voice and well that won’t be far from the truth. "Well being all quiet by myself isn’t the most fun so I will entertain your request. There were many issues I had right after conversion. That is when I got Sarah out of town with . My senses were heightened and I didn’t know how to control them that well back then. I could hear and sll everything. The beating of a human’s heart, the sll of the blood from within the flesh ters away, and the never-ending lust for blood. Being a human prior to this, I stopped myself from consuming human blood for quite so ti actually."
"So how long were you able to hold in your blood lust?" I asked and Ethan chuckled.
"Boy, blood lust isn’t sothing a vampire can easily control. Especially a newly made one. I gave into the urge for blood but not for humans. I fed from the blood of animals. Not the dosticable ones though. I’ve tasted the blood of wolves, coyotes, crocodiles, bears, and even at a ti that of a lion," he said and my body shivered just hearing him count down all the great predators of the land from the smallest to largest. He killed all of those just for their blood. Civilized, not really but it sure wasn’t sothing new to humankind. The entire world lives off of killing the living.
So it did an if I was going to convert to a vampire, I could still substitute human blood for animal blood. That seems a lot better option than drinking human blood because I feel like Ethan, I’ll be in denial from the start. Though I wonder how I will completely turn into a vampire. Do I have to die to turn into one or just one day I wake up and I am lusting for blood? That thought did go around my head for pretty long.
"How long did it work for you?" I asked Ethan curious about the story.
"Well, not for long actually. Soon we were attacked again by the followers of the church and were surrounded. At that ti in self-defense, we had to retaliate and kill our pursuers. At that ti, when I saw the blood on my hands and on the ground, blood everywhere as far as the eye could see from the slaughtered body of the humans, the stench was too much. So, both and Sarah gave into the desire and I tell you, that was the best al we have ever had in our entire eyes. It tasted so good that tears started running down our eyes. We didn’t have any guilt in killing the humans because they tasted so good. Our senses had complete control over us and we could stop ourselves from enjoying the sweet blood."
"I see," I muttered and kept on chatting randomly with Ethan and ti just ran as I saw.
Soon, it was ti for to leave and I heard a knock on the door. I jumped out of the bed and grabbed my keychain and phone. Ama entered the room with a pair of clothing. I know what these were. I looked at her and she gave a sweet smile. She really did prepare for everything beforehand. As expected of her honestly.
"I had a little chat with -kun before he even went to invite you," Ama said and winked at . She handed the clothes and walked out of the room. Seriously this woman. But I am pretty grateful to her for this.
I quickly changed into my clothes and got out of the room. Ama was standing right there with a big smile on her face. "Let guess, you’re driving?" Ama nodded and I let out a sigh. "Did you plan all this Ama?"
"Not really~ I just pulled so strings from behind to make sure Kazu-chan can go on this mission," Ama said and started walking in front of . "I know how much saving Ai-chan is important to Kazu-chan so I had to at least make sure he gets the chance."
"Isn’t this also a bit immature sending into the lion’s den like that?" I reasoned with her curious as to why she was even doing this.
"I trust the hunters a lot. -kun and everyone are very skilled hunters and I won’t be wrong saying that they are more than enough for this mission," Ama explained. "But let’s just say given I have found myself getting close to you, I wanted to help you. I won’t think of sending you on a suicide mission you know."
"Though you are still gambling with luck here," I said and she nodded. "Thank you, Ama, for everything you did."
"Oh, I did nothing. All I did was to make sure Kazu=chan will be okay," she said and turned around. Her lips were trembling a little. "But please Kazu-chan, don’t die out there. This is the one thing I am betting on more than anything else. Co back with Ai-chan safely."
"I- "
"He will."
As Ama opened the door, right before we stood the figure of Akira, and behind her stood Yuna with an angry pout on her face. I looked at Akira and she shook her head.
"Why?"
"I will accept any punishnt you have for later, but as your servant, I cannot just let you go on this mission like that," Akira said with a worried look on her face. "I know you told not to follow you into this but I just cannot follow your order."
