"You need to feed " Dan insisted but she shook her head stubbornly. Judging from the amount of blood she lost as a result of the fall, he wasn't surprised when the hunger kicked in.

"I'm not going to drink human blood like some animal " She insisted, her both arms folded together across the chest.

"You're not an animal, Lia " He said calmly "You're worse than an animal "

"You! " she gasped, eyes incredulously large as a result of shock. Was that supposed to comfort her or infuriate her?

Dan groaned, palming his face. The girl was a monster. He had teleported her out of town during the mandurugo attack, far away from human habitation as a preminary measure, to make sure the mandurugo wouldn't track them down.

But he didn't make preparation for an unexpected feeding, he wasn't even carrying a blood bag.The only option left was to hunt.

He looked back at the underconstructed twenty-five storey building laying waste in the forest, wondering why he decided to teleport here of all places.

He knew nothing happens for a reason, there must be a reason why he was drawn here, sadly, that mystery would be solved another time.He had more pressing issues at hand.

"You have to be in full shape before I can teleport you back to little Town " Dan explained

He could teleport back and grab some blood bags but he didn't trust her, he couldn't tell what she would do or go in his absence. This forest was large, disappearing was easy but finding someone was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Oh " Lia moaned when the first hunger pang hit her.

Dan noticed she wasn't going to last long before she goes ballistic. When vampires don't feed for long they have the tendency to go cray-cray and bloodthirsty.

"Come here " he ordered .

Lia stared at him cautiously, slowly she approached him. She tried to read him, not clear on what he was up-to this time. She didn't trust him at all, not after he sent her plunging to her death.

To her surprise, he simply bit down on his wrist drawing blood "Feed " he commanded "

"No " She shook her head fervently and took a step back. Eww, she wasn't about to drink someone's blood , moreover a vampire's? no pun intended by the way.

"Drinking a vampire's blood might not be nutritious nor satisfying but it can hold off the hunger until I find you a suitable drink " he tried to explain but she still continued moving away.

But that was until the smell of the blood assaulted her nostrils, she froze, her mouth watered.

Dan saw the salivating look on her face and smiled, she has been hooked.

"Want a taste? " he teased on purpose, stretching his bleeding wrist out towards her.

Lia licked her lips, it was tempting but she didn't want to, it was disgusting , however , when she saw the way the red liquid spilled down his arm, she lost her reasoning.

She lunged at him and made a grab for his wrist, took it into her mouth, sucking the red liquid nimbly.

"Easy " Dan breathed but she ignored him, instead immersed herself in the feeding.

She moaned as a great rush of energy filled her, though the blood wasn't as tasty as the one she drank previously but it was filling.

Lia greedily took more enjoying the way it went down her throat, it was perfect. It was stupid she missing out on this, why was she even hesitating in the first place?

Dan frowned when she didn't stop feeding "its enough " he said, trying to pull his hand away.

She snarled, baring her teeth at him warningly and latched her lips back on his wrist, continuing her feeding.

Dan was beyond stunned, what just happened? Did she bare her fangs at him out of annoyance? Dan knew something was wrong with the girl but not to this extent.

Normally a vampire feeds on other vampires for pleasure because the blood gives zero nutrient but she? She was feeding on his blood as if it was food, like it actually satisfies her.

"God, I'm full ! " Lia purred licking a stray blood that trailed his arm.

Dan stared at her, open-mouthed "You're full?" He croaked.

"Yeah " She smiled "Infact, I feel so great like I'm high on drugs"

She faced him, grabbed his hand , studying his injured wrist that was closing up already "Is this what your blood does? Men, that's cool!" She cooed

"It's like I'm on cloud nine "She demonstrated, twirling in circles

"I feel stronger " Lia said, punched a tree , successfully creating a crack on it.

"And super fle-xi-ble ! " She screamed doing an incredible backflip.

"It's shocking! " Her voice echoed in the forest sending the birds away.

"Yeah, I'm more shocked than you" Dan said, of course mentally.

Here he was, first time seeing a converted vampire that derives energy by feeding on other vampires. The worst part was her blue eyes from moments ago , was now a striking magenta colour.

"Teach me how to be a vampire " She said out of nowhere .

That was abrupt and surprising, he murmured to himself. Minutes ago she wanted nothing to do with vampires, now she wants to be taught how to be one.

"Let's go " Dan said , grabbed her by the collar and disappeared. There was a limit to his patience and right now, his armour was cracking.

"Wait..." The words were still stucked in her throat when she finally found herself in a strange room .

"Change, bath , do whatever you girls do to look good cause you can't return to school looking like that " Dan commanded and banged the door shut before she could even say a word.

She looked down at her clothes, it was bloodied and dirty, her hair messy with blood smeared on her cheek. She was a total mess.

Lia was about to check out the bathroom when her phone rang. She picked it up thanking her God it wasn't affected by the fall, Trevor sent a picture to her.

"Strange" she murmured but opened the picture anyway.

She gasped when she saw an image of Trevor, he was sprawled on the floor unconscious, his hands tied back to a pole.

A text came in immediately, she opened it

"Come alone "
