Hematophagous

Chapter 32: Fears

The two weeks in which I was -sleeping- meant a change in my life. And how not to do it when someone has tried to kill you? But something didn't add up to me from the first minute, why would they want to turn me into a vampire? Why not just kill me?

It's something that ate me up inside for the next three days. The next day, he already had an answer: a new vampire, in royalty, would mean chaos.

I found out when Hilaria told me the story of a human servant who was turned into a vampire and spread death wherever he walked, putting the castle's location at a disadvantage.

And it was the most normal thing in the world. A newly created vampire is based on a single thought: to feed on blood. And if she is human better.

Thomas told me as much when I tried to talk to him about Carlos. He couldn't even describe what happens to him when he's with him, but he was sure of one thing: his smell attracted him like sweets to a child.

Fourth day since he had woken up and it was already starting in a more than terrible way.

-Is it hers?- I asked when I saw how Victoria approached with a letter. She nodded her head before giving it to me.

– I think I can understand your concern.-I looked at her hallucinated.-What? If I didn't hear from you for two weeks, I'd go crazy.

-His letters do not indicate concern.- I sat next to him on the bed.

– That's because you don't know how to read between the lines.-I raised an eyebrow.

-Okay, let's say you're worried. What do you want me to do?

– Write him one back, tell him you're safe and sound. And by the way tell him that you have a lot of vampires watching your back.

-Victoria Fersi, are you jealous?- I put the letter aside to look at it better.

– Me?-he pointed to himself.-From Arcadia De Luca?-he began to laugh.-Never.

– I'll pretend I believe you.-I lay down on the bed thoughtful.-I can't believe that Victoria Fersi is jealous.-I whispered to provoke her, which worked because two seconds later she was already on top of me.

– I'm not jealous.-she took me by both hands and brought them to the top of my head.-But I know her tricks.

-Tricks?- I settled in while she placed her legs on both sides of my waist. -What tricks?-

-He's good at provoking people- he stated, bringing his face closer to mine.

- And do you think it provokes me? -I bit my lower lip because of his proximity.

– Well, that she bathed naked with you could be one of her tricks, yes.

– Those tricks don't work with me.-I closed my eyes looking for a contact that didn't arrive.-You already know.

- I know. But if they work, I don't want it to hurt you.She-she-she looked too sincere.

The conversation changed from one moment to another.

-What?- I struggled for him to let go and he did. -What are you saying?- I managed to get almost straight. -Victoria?- he continued without answering. -What's wrong?- .-You can tell me.

– I know that this...-he pointed out to us.-... can become very forced.-he lowered his head. For the first time I saw him doing that and she broke my heart. -That's why I say that if you feel attracted to Arcadia, there is no problem.

-Look at me.- She raised her precious face. -I like you, Victoria.- I like you.-I stated for the first time.-Oh my god, I like you a lot.-I got closer to her.-It's not forced. Well, I'm not going to deny that at first it seemed that way to me, but that changed a long time ago.-I joined our heads.-I want to be with you and that's the only thing that matters to me.
