Chapter 5: Who is the strongest?

Was his punishment really going to be to lock me in this room without eating? Very intelligent of you, note my irony. Not feeding your food didn't make much sense, in fact it sounded stupid. Or at least that was the punishment he had imposed on me, the truth is that after I stabbed him with the scalpel he just said that I was going to regret it and such but he didn't do anything else, not very intelligent on his part.

A whole day had passed since then, my guts were rumbling and my mind was beginning to play tricks on me. Being held back with nothing to do didn't suit me very well. He could only contemplate the landscape, which was difficult right now since it was night again. Throughout the day no one had entered or left the castle, the guards at the gates apparently did not move, they looked like complete statues.

-Hello European.-they said behind my back. I turned around quickly to find Hilaria looking at me with a big smile. "I see you're not talking again," she said as she left a tray of food on the bed.

Was I seeing okay? Was that food?

-I see that you're walking again.-I told him without moving from the window.

A few seconds passed in silence, in which none of us looked away. Seeing that I wasn't going to pull her away from her, she decided to change her gaze to the tray.

-Lucy has told me that it is not a good idea to deprive you of food. So, here you have it.-she said with disgust, ignoring my comment.

-I'm not going to eat.-I sentenced looking out the window again.

"I think we haven't made things clear, Maia." I noticed how she started to get closer. "You're in my castle." Under my roof, under my rules.-she said running a hand through my hair.

-And I thought I had made it clear.-I counteracted turning around and facing her.-I don't follow anyone's orders.

"Why are you humans like that?" he asked disgustedly. "Don't you understand that we are stronger in every way than you are?"

"I don't think so," I answered angrily, getting closer to her.

"No?" She took a step forward, causing us to be centimeters away. I looked up with resentment, since she was taller than me. bite a human. At that moment everything broke loose.

"Yes, but don't deny that you were in the shadows for hundreds of years, or am I wrong?" I pointed my finger at him.

-At first it was going to be like that, but we got tired of the useless humans screwing up the planet.-she took a step forward, which caused me to start walking backwards.-Are you going to deny that nothing was going well? ? What did not need a change?

-Yes, but_.-he didn't let me continue.

"Well, we took that opportunity." Now she was the one who pointed her finger at me. "One Maia, just by biting a human it worked. Now don't you think we are stronger than you?

"Not entirely," I replied, causing him to look at me with a raised eyebrow. "You still need us and I know you've screwed up somehow." If not right now I would not be here. Do you think I don't really know why I'm here? Somehow I have come to the conclusion that my blood is the one that vampires like the most or if not, that soldier would not have risked his neck.-I moved away from her and sat on the bed.-If before it was difficult Finding a negative AB I don't even want to imagine right now and that's what you didn't expect. You didn't expect humans to convert or die so quickly, so you were forced to create blood farms or whatever you call them, your resources were completely depleted. So let me tell you, the truth is, the reason you're still alive is because of us.

Well, I had managed to anger her, it was not in my plans but it was not something I regretted. It was what I thought or at least it is what made the most sense. And if he had managed to anger her, it is that he was somewhat right.

I looked at the plate of food, it had been a long time since I had seen food so well prepared, even the smell filled my nostrils. First there was rice with vegetables, but the main course was the second, roasted pork ribs, delicious, just seeing them made my mouth water, literally.

So I stopped thinking about that vampire and started savoring the dishes like there was no tomorrow. The truth is that congratulations to the chef, this was a delight. Who knows if it was because he hadn't eaten this well in years, but it was delicious.

I put the tray down on the nightstand and got up to look out the window again.

I almost jumped in fright to meet the gaze of a man from the forest. Who the hell was that? Tall, black hair, but above all blue eyes that stood out in all the darkness. I didn't want to continue looking and carefully began to walk away to go to bed, where as soon as I touched her I fell exhausted on her sheets.
