I hope that vampire will be alright, he did not look like he was doing t0 good. I have done everything I could for him but now I just have to wait and see how he is doing tomorrow. Those injuries looked like they were made by something with long claws. I have a feeling he is one of Ash’s friends, I can't be sure until he wakes up. I will have to ask him some questions but that will have to wait. In totale, I have counted over twenty three long cuts and ten small scratches.

The next day, Jaff went into the next closest town that was too far from the abandoned town they were in. After five hours of walking he reached the front doors of the closest town that had a small sign hanging by two chains above the door. The sign read, welcome to Wolf Village, food and other stalls open for shopping. Jaff slowly walked through town and noticed that everyone had ears and a tail like him but they were a few inches smaller than his. Instantly Jaff walked up to a small stand that he had spotted that had a large sign that read, Blood Bank. As Jaff got closer to the stand, he noticed that the people that surrounded him were staring with hatred in their eyes. Jaff quickly felt uncunfertibole as he averted his eyes away from the people and looked ahead towards the stand. Once Jaff reached the stand, he looked up at the man that stood in front of him in silence. The man was dirty as he wore dirty clothes that were curved in mud and sweat as he grabbed a small biale from under the counter. The dirty man was silent as he slowly started to fill the vials with what looked to be blood. Jaff quickly pulled out a small scroll from his backpack that he picked up along the road and looked back at the man.

He quickly asked in anger and annoyance in his voice, “Why don’t you take a pitcher, it will last longer. For heaven's sake, why don’t I stare at you while you are shopping and see how you like it?”

People immediately looked away and continued with their business. A surprised look came across Jaff’s face as he watched everyone look away from him as if he was a sore thumb.

“Thanks.” Jaff quickly said as he turned to face the shopkeeper.

The man sighed as he asked with a slight grin on his face, “What can I get you?”

Jaff slowly replied, “I need some blood for a friend of mine, he needs to drink it. Please, he is injured and I don’t know what else to get him.”

“I see, is he a vampire or a werewolf?” The man asked as he walked over to the back of the small store.

For a moment, Jaff said nothing and after a few minutes he replied, “He said he was a half breed between a fox shifter.”

The man said as he filled a large vial with a dark purple and red subsistence, “Here, this might just help him. It works for any human or creature that is injured and drinks blood.”

He then walked back over to Jaff as he placed a cork into the vial. Once he reached the counter, the man placed the vial onto the counter with ease with one hand resting on the vial as he was making sure Jaff wasn’t going to steal anything. Jaff quickly understood how the man felt and acted the way he was at that moment, Jaff sighed for a moment as he stood in silence.

Jaff asked in a slightly concerned voice, “I hope mind me asking but what is in that?”

“Don’t worry, there are three drops of a dark angel's blood, three drops of a pure angel's blood, three drops of an angel's tears, two scoops of live rat meat, one half vial of virgin is or I should say was virgins blood, she is human too. This will help any vampires, werewolves and creatchers along with humans as well but it is slow acting on half breeds though.” The man said as he handed the vial over to Jaff.

Jaff handed over six gold coins to the man and said “Thank you, I am grateful.”

There was a sudden chill in the air as Jaff walked away as he walked back over to the village that he was staying at, as time passed by, the evening sky by the minute as time passed by  as the sun started to set. By the time Jaff reached the town, the sky was completely black with stars surrounding the sky and the moon was shining in the sky brightly. Jaff’s heart started beating fast as he ran over to the house in pain as if he was going to transform any second. With every heartbeat, there was a pinging feeling in his chest and his whole body slowly started to heat up in an instant like a furnace. 

Jaff quickly said in exhaustion and to himself, “Come on, just a little longer. I am almost there, I need a little more time.”

Three minutes later, he reached the house that he was staying at and ran inside as the pain grew more intense. He quickly fell to the ground in pain once he entered the front room. Suddenly, his nails fell off of his hands as claws took their place, he quickly and carefully placed the vial onto the ground instantly while his claws slowly grew longer by the second. Jaff slowly crawled over to the closest wall in pain as the sudden popping sound could be heard and his back slowly realigned itself into an arch-like shape that could be seen through his skin. Jaff moaned in pain as his skin started to turn jet black as he spat out chunks of his teeth with a little bit of mixed in with his teeth. Jaff breathed heavily as the burning sensation slowly disappeared and he quickly realized that his transformation had finished. As he breathed deeply and as he exhaled, Jaff could see his breath in the air. Jaff slowly got up from the ground in pain and quickly walked out the door in pain, once Jaff was outside of the house, he stopped walking. He instantly realized that there was not a sound to be heard around him for miles. Jaff slowly closed his eyes while opening his senses to his surroundings, he suddenly heard the sound of breathing. The breathing was so low that Jaff could barely hear him from a distance, he lowered his breathing to the point that his breath was shallow.

Jaff asked “Come out, who are you?”

A voice ranged out from the distinct and said with delight, “Thank god, you are alright.”

Jaff asked “Yea, I am fine but who are you?”

The voice replied, “You will see but not yet, you should get back into the house before the monsters come out.”

Jaff asked, “Where are you? Come out, why are you hiding?”

There was silence before Jaff started walking back into the house as he sighed in frustration, he quickly walked down the stairs to the basement and stopped once he was standing a few feet in front of Jack as he slept. Jaff instantly walked over to one of the walls and sat down against the hard, cold brick wall as he watched Jack patiently for him to wake up. Three hours later, Jack's fingers slowly twitched and Jaff instantly noticed his face move slightly as he moaned.

Jack slowly asked as he opened his eyes not expecting anyone to reply, “Mmm, where am I?”

Jaff replied, “You're awake, good. You seem to be doing better. You are in an abandoned town that was being used by vampires but for some reason it looks like they abandoned this place.”

Jack instantly turned his head towards Jaff and asked “What happened?”

Jaff replied, “That, I don’t know.”

He quickly walked up to the main floor and walked into the kitchen where there was a small fridge. Jaff slowly opened the fridge and pulled out a small bottle of water as he shut the door behind him. He quickly went back down to the basement and quickly stopped walking as he stood a few feet from Jack.

“Here, you must be thirsty, have some water.” Jaff said as he held out the bottle of water to Jack.

Jack looked at jaff with a confused look as he said in a thankful voice, “Thanks.”

He quickly took the bottle of water from him and unscrewed the cap from the bottle. Jaff watched as Jack drank out of the bottle of water as if he had not drank anything for ages. He moaned in pain from shifting so quickly after seeing the full moon in the sky, Jack quickly noticed that Jaff was hiding the pain that he felt and could not be helped but be concerned. Three hours later, the sun slowly set behind the mountains and watched Jack carefully until he could no longer watch him any longer. 

Jack asked “Are you alright?”

Jaff replied, “I-I am fine. I… am just tired.”

Suddenly, he fell asleep from exhaustion and pain that spread throughout his whole body. Seven hours later, Jack slowly woke up to the sound of wood cracking and the sound of the wind blowing. Jack slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was still in the basement and quickly looked around. He saw the viale on the ground and quickly picked the vial up in an instant as he pulled the quark from the vial. Jack quickly noticed that his cuts and injuries weren't healing like they normally did. He slowly swallowed the substance as he drank from the vial, he then dropped the vial as he got up from the ground in pain as he walked over to Jaff as he slept from exhaustion.
