The Monster Within Us

Chapter 88: A cheap death

Elijah has immediate fear strike down on his whole body after realizing I just got resurrected. While still waiting, I walk up to the person holding Elijah. They noticed I am alive and let the figure have his hand partly go so Elijah can breathe a little. I was confused at who it was at first until I heard his voice.

"No...you should have died! I saw you fall on the ground after I chopped your head off!" -Elijah said.

That's when it hit me and I noticed who was the person who was choking him and seeing Elijah. It was the Figure. He was too focused on choking Elijah then looking at him. Elijah technically have the same strength as me so the Figure didn't want to let him go, thinking Elijah will do something. I look at Elijah, struggling on trying to break free of the monster in front of him. That's when I think of something, I waited. The figure tilts his head to look at me, wondering what was I gonna do.

I thought of something, does he have regeneration? I decided to look at the Figure.

Release him. -I said. I put my hand over my mouth after noticing my voice. 'When did my voice became deepen? Whatever, I'll think about it later.'

The figure lets him go and immediately, he tried to punch the figure. I managed to grab his fist and torn it off of his hand. He screamed in pain and instead of me eating his hand, I just dropped it. I looked at the hand and waited for a bit. About 5 or 10 minutes later, nothing have changed. I picked up the hand and ate it, in front of Elijah. The Figure immediately grabbed him by the back of the neck and kept him still till I am done with him.

"You're not gonna do this to me, are you Jayla?" -Elijah asked.

When I have taken orders from someone who killed me? I think this is fair game to you. -I said.

I grabbed the rest of his arm and ripped it off, then dropping it. After some time, the rest of the arm still did not grow body onto his chest, so I picked it up and ate the final piece of the arm. As I was walking away from Elijah, I noticed his cleaver on the ground, I walk over to it and Elijah was looking at me walking over it in shock. I picked it up and walk back to them.

So... Remember this weapon Elijah? -I asked. I then lick the blood and part of my guts off of the cleaver. He gasped. I walk over and the Figure quickly moved out of the way and then I went behind him and then grab the back of his leg. All he can hear is stabbing and pain. I was stabbing the back of his bottom leg and then torn it off. Finished it off and put the cleaver back on the ground and walk back to the front of them.

"You will regret this..." -Elijah said.

Oh, I wasn't done yet, I'm still starving. You can clearly look at me and probably ask yourself what am I huh?! -I said. I then started to laugh.

That's when it hits him.

"There is no way...!" -Elijah said.

YEP! I'M TRULY NO LONGER HUMAN! I am now a vampire and I was turned into one of them two weeks ago! Thanks to you killing me, I am now and officially starving of blood now! -I said

I then moved the Figure's out of my way and went over to Elijah and started to bite his neck down and start draining his blood. The Figure didn't expect me to do this. He was probably expecting me to rip his heart out. I have never heard Elijah scream this much or even scream this loudly. After some time, he is finally dead.

I took my fangs out of his neck and let him go. His lifeless body was just laying there. I then wipe the blood off of my mouth using my arm, and then look at it. My vision went back to normal but I wasn't turned to my human self just yet. His blood is just the same as a normal human if you think about it; red. I look at the Figure, he haven't really changed, claws of his hands and his back is still bloody. His teeth is now just white, like he never ate someone before, and helped me out. That's when I noticed; why did he save me? I start to ask him the question.

Why...? -I asked.

He was confused for a moment there.

What was the reason you went out of your way and saved me? You know what I was capable of and yet, you still did it? -I said

That's when it hits him. Why did he saved me...?
