Aaric understood what Mila was feeling right now, maybe now she felt weak and had no energy, but when her thirst took over her mind, then Mila would turn into a real monster.

The same behavior she let out when she attacked Ellen a while ago and it was very dangerous.

​​

"I will not do that," Mila said in a hoarse voice, she slapped Aaric's hand that was trying to hold hers.

"You will not last long in your current condition," Aaric tried to explain. "This is the first time you are feeling this and I am not sure you can hold it in well."

The experienced vampires may be able to survive weeks without blood, but for Mila who had always have her needs met, it would be a difficult thing for her to go through. She had never tried training her control over drinking blood.

"I will be fine." Mila was still stubborn with her stance. "Bite and suck blood? That is disgusting," she grumbled, just imagining herself doing that made her flinch.

Aaric rolled his eyes and threw his annoying hair behind his back. "Seriously Mila, I know that you are from a noble family, but don't use that etiquette at a time like this."

Mila frowned upon hearing Aaric's words. "What does it mean?" She didn't understand what Aaric meant by saying that.

"Nobles don't suck blood directly from humans, they get to it by having served it in a crystal glass and drinking it," Aaric explained, remembering how the vampire nobles drank blood so gracefully. Well, Mila also did that when she was with her people.

"You know I don't remember all that," Mila said sarcastically, then she took something from the top of the drawer and waved her hand at Aaric, motioning him to sit in the chair in front of her.

"I know you don't remember it all, but regardless, you need blood to survive." Aaric kept his opinion, he ignored Mila's gesture and this made the girl unhappy.

"Come and sit here," Mila said in an insisting voice.

"What is wrong?" asked Aaric curiously, but he did as Mila ordered and sat in the chair Mila pointed out.

After Aaric sat where she wanted him to, Mila then walked behind him and gathered Ellen's hair in her hands and started twisting it to tie it up.

Seeing Aaric so annoyed with Ellen's long hair, made Mila feel annoyed as well, because he kept frowning.

"Next time, take care of yourself," Mila said curtly after she finished tying Ellen's hair and this made Aaric laugh.

"Thanks for watching over me,"Aaric said, shaking his head happily. "This is much better."

Mila couldn't understand why Aaric didn't think about this small solution, but then Mila remembered that there were many things that Aaric had neglected.

"So, what are your plans after from here?" Mila changed the topic, because talking about blood and so on, made her feelings turn uncertain.

However, before Aaric could answer that, Claire entered the room with two pairs of change of clothes for the two of them.

"Here are the clothes for you the two of you," she said as she placed two sets of pajamas on the bed. "I am curious about the clothes you are wearing." Claire focused her attention on Mila and looked her up and down carefully.

"What is wrong with my clothes?" Mila asked, her tone defensive and this made Aaric feel wary.

"You are wearing the same clothes as a hospital patient," Claire said straightforwardly. "Perhaps, did you guys run away from a hospital?"

In Ellen's memory, Aaric understood Claire's nature of being too candid about what she was thinking, but for now, it didn't seem like a good thing to be overly curious about something.

"Yes, you can say that," Mila replied nonchalantly. She then took out a set of pajamas and looked at Claire. "Can you go out? I want to change clothes."

Aaric slapped his head mentally when he saw Mila's attitude. It wasn't normal for her to act like this. It was true that Mila almost always looked sinister at other people, but this time her attitude was really beyond reason.

Mila and Claire had just met and the two of them weren't even in any kind of conflict.

"You don't have to be so harsh with me," Claire was offended by the way Mila had answered her. She folded her arms in front of her chest and looked at Mila with defiant eyes. "I know that you have been going through bad things in your life, but that doesn't mean you can treat other people as you please."

"Okay, you two calm down… it's just a misunderstanding…" Aaric then stood up to separate the two women, but Mila pulled him away from Claire.

"She is not Claire," Mila said quietly.

"What do you mean she is not Claire?" Aaric looked at Mila confusedly, then at Claire in front of him and after a while he understood what Mila meant.
