Blood Countess

Chapter 8

It was monday and I wanted to talk to Elizabeth already. Thank goodness she's my first period teacher.

I sat in my seat waiting for her discussion to finish. I was eager to talk to her. 25 minutes more and she'll dismiss us so I decided to check her out to pass time.

Damn, she's sexy. Goddess would probably be an understatement now. I continued checking her out until the bell rang.

I waited for everyone to go out and once the last person was out the door I made my way to her.

"Professor Cavalli, can we talk?" I was nervous as hell.

"Close the door." She demanded. I went to close the door and suddenly felt her hands on my hips. She locked the door and licked my neck making feel hot again. "I told you to call me Elizabeth, didn't I?"

"Y-y-yes but only outside campus."

"Well, let me rephrase that. Call me Elizabeth when we're outside campus or alone together." She pushed me in the wall and kissed me hard.

"Elizabeth. Not here. I, I just wanna talk." She backed away.

"Ok fine. Meet me later. Give me your number and I'll text you where we'll meet." I gave her my number and she kissed me again. "Just be there at our meeting place, ok?"

I nodded and she let me go. I went to my next class still a bit flustered from the encounter with Elizabeth.

I pushed the thoughts of Elizabeth aside and continued with my daily routine. I really need answers from her.

It's 5 pm and I was still waiting for Elizabeth's text. As if on cue, my phone rang signaling a new message.

From: Elizabeth

Trevi Palace Luxury Apartments. Just say my name to the front office and they'll let you in.

-Elizabeth x

I got ready and went to her apartment.

I arrived 30 minutes later at the said apartment. I made my way to the front office. There was a guy in suit sitting there.

"Ciao, how can I help you?" He had a thick italian accent.

"Uhhh, I'm here to see Elizabeth Cavalli?"

"Ohh alright. I guess you are Kate?" I nodded. "Well, I'll let someone escort you to Ms. Cavalli's room." He called another guy who led me to Elizabeth.

We arrived at the floor and the guy told me which room she is. I was a nervous wreck. I knocked a few times.

"Kate, come in." She smiled. Like always she looks gorgeous. She led me to her living room. "Want any drinks?"

"Just water." She smiled and got me some.

"So, what exactly do you wanna talk about?"

"Everything. Everything about you. Everything that's been going on between us." She raised an eyebrow.

"Is that all?"

"I wanna know what you really are." She stared at me for a moment.

"Ok, how do I start this?" She sighed. "Do you believe in any fictional creatures?"

"You mean like vampires and werewolves?"

"Yes."

"I haven't seen one up close so I don't know."

She ran her fingers through her hair. "Well, they're real and I'm one of them." I can feel my breath hitch in my throat. "Cavalli isn't really my surname. It's Bathory. I'm Elizabeth Bathory."

"No you gotta be joking. Elizabeth Bathory? Like the blood countess?"

"Yes. The blood countess. Some stories say that I killed young girls and used their blood and that's how I gained my title as the blood countess but no. That didn't happen. I was married once, but they took him. Victor, the first vampire I met, turned me. He didn't want to but I forced him. I took my own life for him to bring me back as a vampire. My parents still accepted me so it was no problem. But ofcourse, I have needs. I always fancied young people's blood but I can't take their blood. Instead, I drank from thieves, murderers and people who are despised by the society. I continued living that life until rumors started. Young girls were going missing every night. They started suspecting me but I didn't do it. I don't even know who did it. I got away with it though because I was the countess."

I was speechless by her revelation. I couldn't utter a word. I let it all sink in.

"Do you still drink blood?" I asked her.

"Yes but blood who are donated. I drink blood from live people as well only during sex."

"But when we almost happened. Why didn't you drink from me?"

"You're different Kate. You're blood is special." She held my hand and sighed. She looked into my eyes and uttered, "You're a dhampir."

Taaaaadaaaaa!

This chapter's quite long but I updated just like what I promised. Thanks for those who voted anyway.
More to come next chapter since this is the only beginning of the whole revelation thing.

But before I end this note, what do you think about the whole revelation thing? About Elizabeth being the blood countess? And Kate being a dhampir?

Tell me about it. But anywayssss, I might write the next chapter tomorrow. Byeeee!
