8: Out of danger

Alaric

*

I was around her throughout the time, watching her silently. And I couldn’t help but be proud of my girl until that bastard shot her from behind like a loser.

That was when I lost it.

I had always felt that I didn’t have a powerful gift as a vampire until I realized that the biggest advantage of a predator was not to get noticed by its prey.

Before that, a vampire could have reached my girl. I had his heart in my hand after I inserted my hand inside him from the back and pulled it back.

His body was about to fall to the ground when I caught it and bit his neck, drinking his blood. Drinking another vampire's blood allowed me to view their memories.

This was only useful to the elder vampires because only they had the willpower to organize the memories into a cohesive story.

So, one could tell that this was one of the perks of being an elder.

All of a sudden, I saw a vision of a woman asking him to get... Moana?

What the fuck!!

I sucked his blood more to see where that woman was.
