The Eyes of Death Book 1 - The Taru

Chapter 10

Calm yourself sister. Anger will not help you. Now again kill them this time.

I stayed myself and concentrated on the enemies attacking me. Sis was right again, every time I was emotional I was unable to tap into my blood magic and my instinct were partially blocked. Too bad she was stuck on the other side of reality, we would have made quite a pair in combat. I missed my sister a lot.

All of a sudden my senses exploded with data, everyone was accounted for and detailed. Weak points, movement, race, etc. I tapped into my blood and visualized a dark smoke enveloping everyone in death. On cue it appeared, all over the battlefield tentacles erupted from it. They wrapped themselves around the necks of the tainted and slowly sucked them dry of what animated them. They turned into desiccated husks and fell to the floor.

*Thank you sis*

*You're welcome*.

I stayed my mind, cleared it of all emotions and tried to access my blood. At first nothing happened. Then I felt power form in my solar plexus, so much it actually hurt. I had to expel it somehow, so I pictured all 6 darts in the center of the target in a circle. Immediately they unhooked from around Mike and flew in that exact position. I heard gasps around me.

I was about to speak when a terrible pain took me, I felt my fangs elongate. Then Francine was next to me her wrist in my mouth. I drank from her until I felt my control return.

"Feeling better?"

"Yeah thanks."

"That was impressive but you expand too much blood. You need to restrain how much power you generate."

"I felt the power grow but it burst so strongly I lost control of it."

"You may be a Taru but your are still newborn in this life. With time its gonna return to you but in the meantime you need to be careful."

"Can you help me train my control" I asked. She nodded yes.

For the rest of the day, we practiced turning my blood magic on and off, interspersed with feedings.

After a long day we went back home. I took a long shower to clean up and unwind.

*dress up in something sexy and come downstairs we are going out tonight* Francine said in my mind. I dressed up as requested and went downstairs.

Francine, looked gorgeous as hell. She of course read my mind " you are not bad yourself sexy..." She had a sexy smile that kind of said 'I want you'.

We took her sexiest sports car, a convertible 1976 corvette in pristine condition and went shopping downtown.

Her definition of shopping of course, involved a trip to Louis Vuitton, Versace and the likes. She took me to Armani first. We spent a good hour there and a small fortune in clothing which we had ordered sent to our home. Wow "our home" that sounded so nice.

She then proceeded to bring me to a specialized shoe store. And by special I meant everyone in it were dwarves, not small people but actually real life role-playing fantasy bearded dwarves. They specialized in making combat footwear that looked like ordinary shoes. No wonder Francine's boots had survived last night's encounter.

Here Francine took her master's power over me to heart. Though she must have ordered me more then twenty pairs of various shoes and boots, of course none had lower then 5 inch heels. Oh well I did dig my own grave as she had said. Just a good thing that my vampire legs didn't suffer such pain anymore. And to be truthful Francine didn't own anything lower then that herself.

The cost for two stores was higher then my entire life's earnings.

"I wish I get that rich someday."
