Once breakfast was over Giovanni and I went out for a walk. We passed the fish seller and waved to him as he waved to us. We both smiled and continued walking and once we turned to an ally we saw a guy in colorful clothing jump out at us. I jumped back with shock and Giovanni laughed at me and then slapped my back.
"Aw come on Marcus. How could a jester scare a creature like you?"
I looked at him with a glare and he put his hands up and laughed.
"Looks like it's almost time once again."
I looked at him with confusion and then he looked back at me."
"You don't know do you? Well my friend it's Carnevale! A time of celebration and joy."
I smiled with glee and thought to myself that this was going to be great. It was the first time that I had been to Carnevale so I had better enjoy it.
"During Carnevale it is a time of celebration. A time where the creatures of the night can come out and be themselves and that no one can be afraid of them. It is also a time where deamons and vampires can come together and eat and drink until the next morning. It really is a peaceful time. There are games to play and people to meet and things to drink and have yourself a grand old time!"
I looked at him with a smile on my face. I guess that Carnevale would be really fun. But then I remembered my dream that I had that one night before I changed. The sound of laughter and the wind howling throughout the night. I remember it clearly. I came back to my senses and tossed out that dream from my head. I have to remind myself that it was just a dream and that it wouldn't really happen. We started to walk again and as we were walking my stomach started to rumble. I don't know how I was hungry. I mean I ate and everything but I guess that it didn't satisfy Sucram.
"Feed me you damn brat. I want real meat and blood!"
I knew that I would have to keep a tenacious grip on him or else he would be set free like last time. God that night still haunts me. I didn't mean to kill him nor lose control like I did. But I guess that it couldn't be helped. I have to let that go. I can't have things bearing me down. I need to stand firm because if I don't I won't get any stronger. I have to stay strong I have to.
"Marcus! Hello earth to Marcus. Are you there?"
I shot him a look of confusion. He looked at me with a raised brow.
"I do believe that you spaced out. Are you alright? You looked... worried. Like something was going to happen."
I nodded to show that I was fine.
"I was just remembering a dream that I had the night of my eighteenth birthday. Which was last week."
He looked at me and nodded but then for some reason he slapped my back. I looked at him with a questionable face and he just smiled at me. He then took my hand and we started to run. I could barely keep up with him. I also tried my hardest not to trip over anything. We stopped running and I stood there trying to catch my breath. I looked around to see where we were. I saw a house that was black and bleak with the windows open. There was a man standing in the doorway and Giovanni walked up to him and I know now that he was speaking in the demonic language because the man replied to him and then let us pass. I slowly walked in and looked around and saw more people in there and a bar table. I guess that we were in a tavern. I stayed close to Giovanni and he was just smiling and then walked up to the bar and spoke to the barkeep.
"Sqa tirz ab xdaak." The barkeep nodded and went to the back of the bar and pulled out two mugs and then went to a barrel and poured out a red liquid. My senses went wild and I could feel my fangs shoot out of my gums. It was the scent of blood. I gulped and slowly sat down at the bar and Giovanni smiled and patted my back.
"I know that you haven't drank in a while so I thought that you would like a couple of drinks to settle your hunger. Plus think of it as a late birthday present because if you drink to much blood you can get drunk off of it."
He grinned and I saw that the bartenderput my mug in front of me. I sniffed it and then my stomach growled. I slowlypicked it up and started to drink. It was cold but I didn't mind it. I justwanted the blood to suppress my hunger. I smiled and drank it all and thenGiovanni ordered another one for the both of us. I planned to get drunk and Iguess that Giovanni wants me to get blood drunk. I drank and drank until myvision blurred. I started to laugh at everything and then I knew that I hadenough because Giovanni stopped me from drinking any more blood. I stood up andstaggered to the door as Giovanni held me up so I couldn't fall. I don't reallyremember what happened next but I can tell you what I do remember. It wasnighttime and Giovanni and I were laughing at jokes that we were telling. I wasstill staggering and then it took us an hour to get back to the house and oncewe were there I was so giddy that I just couldn't stop laughing. He brought meto my room and I laid on my bed laughing and I couldn't stop. Giovanni shut mydoor. I slowly calmed down and then I felt sleepy and then I closed my eyes andfinally went to sleep.
