Chapter 2 What? Proposal? 3
Sweet and warm, better than the richest hot chocolate... As they slid from my mouth and dripped onto my hands, my nose could smell their horrible, bloody smell.
No, this is not hot chocolate, this is blood, the blood I have dreamed of countless times...
I pushed Lagood away with all my strength, hoping that, like every nightmare, everything would suddenly disappear as I gradually regained consciousness.
But, it didn't happen this time.
Blood……
There was blood everywhere...
Lagude, with blood flowing from his neck, did not disappear. He held his neck with his hands with a pale face. A large amount of blood gushed out from the two small holes on his neck. The whole infirmary was filled with a thick smell of blood that was almost suffocating.
how so?
I looked at Lagoud with horror, his neck covered in blood, and my mind went blank.
"No, it won't, it's impossible."
My voice is hoarser than I thought, so hoarse that it even sounds strange to me.
"Qiqi, don't be afraid, I'm fine--" Lagude stretched out his hand to get closer to me. But I was deeply stimulated by the blood on his neck and fled out of the infirmary as if my life depended on it.
"Impossible, impossible, I don't want it, I don't want it!" I screamed and rushed out of the infirmary.
I sucked human blood, I really sucked human blood... This time, it wasn't a nightmare, but real - I really sucked human blood! I really became a monster.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
I ran around in panic and didn't know how much time had passed. When I slowly recovered from my panic, I found myself running back home.
No, it's not right to say I ran. I looked at the faint bloodstains beside the open window, and it seemed that I had climbed in through the window. My room was on the second floor, and I had no idea how I had managed to climb in through the window on the second floor.
I wonder if anyone along the way saw my terrifying appearance at this moment? But even if they did, I don't have the mood to care about it now.
I walked slowly to the floor-length mirror.
My current appearance was immediately reflected in the long floor-length mirror.
Same hair, same face shape, same clothes and same shoes.
But...how could the monster in the mirror be me?
I opened my eyes wide and looked at myself in the mirror with my eyes wide open at the same time. My originally black pupils were now as red as blood. My long canine teeth were revealed in my slightly opened lips. The original blood had dried up, leaving a striking red mark that spread from the canine teeth along the corner of the mouth to the chin.
how so?
Why did I become like this?
I pushed over the floor-length mirror, and as a loud noise came, the broken glass scattered on the ground reflected more terrifying images of myself.
"Ah——" I held my head in my hands, unable to accept it, and screamed loudly.
"Who? Who's in the room?" My father's roar suddenly came from outside the door. The next second, my door was kicked open by my father. I looked up and saw my parents appearing in the room aggressively. I wanted to run over crying, throw myself into their arms, and tell them about my fear and terror, but before I could react, my parents looked at me with a horrified expression.
"Qiqi? Is that you? Qiqi..." Mom looked at me in horror and said tremblingly.
"Dad... Mom..." My lips kept trembling, and after a while, I finally uttered the words stuck in my throat. Tears could not be controlled and I took two steps towards them. Dad, Mom, it's me! I'm Qiqi! I opened my mouth and wanted to say this to them.
But before I could even open my mouth, I was greeted by a scream -
"Who are you? What did you do to Qiqi? What did you do to Qiqi?" Dad and Mom roared at me with fear and anger, which shocked me. I am Qiqi? Why... I subconsciously touched my face, and then accidentally touched my lips, ah, my teeth... I put my hand down, and saw the blood on my fingers at a glance. Suddenly, I understood why Dad and Mom were so strange - I now have red eyes, sharp teeth and a mouth full of blood.
Now I am just a monster in the eyes of my father and mother.
"What did you do to Qiqi? What happened to Qiqi?" Dad and Mom must have misunderstood something. Dad actually picked up the mop outside the door and hit me while shouting, "What did you do to our daughter? Give Qiqi back to me..."
In the chaos, I jumped out of the window of the room without even thinking about it. For me now, the height of the second floor is as easy as walking up the stairs.
I want to escape, I want to escape from this horrible nightmare!
My mind is in a mess.
But after escaping from home, where can I go?
I was completely confused.
If I can’t even go back to my own home, I really don’t know where else I can go at this moment when I’m like a monster.
"Members of the Blood Clan are like that."
Suddenly, the slightly teasing words of Ganju came into my mind. Oh, right, let's go find Ganju. Ganju has read so many novels about vampires and often talks about them, maybe he is not afraid of real vampires? Even though I still feel a little guilty, I can't think of anyone else who can help except Ganju. I gritted my teeth and walked towards Ganju's home.
When I arrived at Tangerine's house, I easily jumped to the window of Tangerine's room. Seeing that she was alone in the room, I quickly knocked on the glass window to get her attention.
Ganju, who was reading a book, looked up and saw me at the window. He was stunned for a long moment before running over.
"Qiqi?" To my surprise, she called out my name as soon as she opened her mouth.
"You still recognize me?" I was so excited. I thought no one in the world would recognize me, but I didn't expect that Ganju recognized me right away. How could I not be excited?
"To be honest, I can't really recognize it, but I can probably guess it. After all, the dream you had before was very suspicious, and you were wearing clothes and shoes that I was familiar with. I can recognize it with a little reasoning."
Tangerine immediately opened the window and held my hand tightly.
If the mood and occasion were not wrong, I really wanted to hug her and give her a big kiss because of what Tangerine said.
"Come in quickly. If someone finds you like this, they will definitely send you to the police station."
I didn't answer her.
After hearing her familiar voice, I was like a string stretched too tight, and suddenly it loosened. I was belatedly aware of the fear and panic that hit me like a tsunami.
After arriving at Tangerine's room, I found a corner, huddled myself in a ball with my shoulders folded, my muscles spasming uncontrollably, my eyes burning with tears almost coming out.
"Qiqi..." Ganju looked at me worriedly, then quickly went outside to pour a basin of water and brought me a set of clean clothes.
"Hurry up and clean up. You look so miserable. By the way, have you had dinner? How about I make you some noodles?"
dinner……
My blood instantly became as cold and sharp as ice. I was shaking so much that I could hardly speak.
"I'm not hungry." I changed my bloodstained clothes and shuddered. "I...sucked Lagude's blood..."
At this point, I couldn't help grabbing my hair and almost fainted with fear.
"What shall I do, what shall I do, what shall I do... Tangerine... Lagoud will probably die... I... I..."
"Calm down, calm down. Okay, tell me first, why did you suddenly become like this?" Tangerine sat down and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Her expression was so gentle, and she was incredibly calm.
However, it was her calmness that gradually calmed my agitated mood.
So I told Citrus what had happened in detail.
"So, Qiqi, you may have really become half a vampire." After listening to my whole story, Ganju said seriously, "Because you couldn't help but suck Lagude's blood, the potential of a vampire in your body was stimulated."
"A vampire?" I really wanted to refute, but found that I couldn't find any reason to refute. The pair of canine teeth in his mouth alone could be said to be - irrefutable evidence.
Moreover, when I look at Tangerine's serious expression, I always feel that she is not just a person who has become knowledgeable because of reading too many vampire novels...
I always feel that she really understands vampires.
"So, since ancient times, beauty has always been the source of trouble. I dare to conclude that if that Ragude was not so ugly, the potential of the vampire in you would not have been so easily stimulated. After all, before this, although you had nightmares every night, you were the same as a normal person during the day. Tell me, you look at so many boys in your class every day, and you have never thought of sucking blood, right?"
Tangerine stroked his chin and analyzed the situation in a professional manner.
I was just about to retort that I was not attracted by Lagood's beauty, and I obviously hated him, but what Tangerine said next made it impossible for me to refute.
Yeah, why don’t I have such a strong urge to suck blood when facing other people?
Could it be that he was really irritated by Lagoud's face?
"Oh, no wonder the ancients often said 'beautiful women are the root of disaster'." said Tangerine.
My forehead was covered with dark lines.
Honey, this is no time to joke.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing that I was frowning, Ganju finally got back to the point kindly, "I don't know if you can change back to the way you are now, Qiqi, do you have any plans in mind?"
"What can I do? I'm so confused right now. Tangerine, I'm really scared. I'm afraid that I will really turn into a monster. I'm afraid that I will have to rely on sucking blood to survive from now on. I'm even more afraid that one day I will attack the people around me, such as my parents and you."
"Tanju, when I think about the possibility of hurting you, I wish I could die right now."
"No, no, Qiqi, how could you hurt us!" Seeing my frightened look, Ganju reached out and hugged me, saying, "Qiqi, do you know why I am not afraid of your current appearance at all?"
"Why?" I looked up at Tangerine. In fact, this is one of the biggest questions in my mind at the moment.
"First, because I believe my good friend Ai Qiqi will never hurt me, no matter what she becomes. Second, and this is very important, because Qiqi, I actually know someone who is even stranger than you. When necessary, he can transform into a powerful werewolf."
"Werewolf?" I exclaimed.
"Yes, that's right. One of my friends has a boyfriend who is a werewolf, and there are many strange people around them, including vampires."
"Ah——" I exclaimed in surprise. I never expected that Tangerine would have so many strange friends.
"So when I first heard you talk about your dream, I had some vague guesses in my mind. I wasn't afraid when I saw you just now. Although I don't know what caused your mutation, I believe there is always a way to help you solve your current predicament." Tangerine held my hand and encouraged.
"Thank you." I shook her hand back. At that moment, I felt it was really good to have friends around me.
"This is for you." Tangerine stuffed a note into my hand.
"What is this?" I looked at the address on the note and asked Ganju puzzledly, "Human Research Institute? Where is this?" What a strange name, Human Research Institute... The name doesn't sound like a research institute founded by humans. Could it be an institute established by aliens on Earth to specialize in studying humans?
"The Human Investigation Institute is a strange entity on Earth. I don't know much about its details. But because my friend's boyfriend is a member of the organization, I have heard about it. I know that it is an organization composed of many alien creatures, such as vampires, werewolves, and possibly many other races... It is said that the members are very powerful and have solved many problems on Earth."
"I think if it's them, they might know the reason for your mutation and help you."
"But how can they help me easily?" I shook my head, not very confident in myself.
"Don't worry about that. I will call Bai Xiaocai, my good friend, and ask her to help. Her boyfriend listens to her very much and will definitely help you."
"Really? Woohoo... Ganju, that's great, thank you so much." My confused heart suddenly saw the light of hope. I hugged Ganju gratefully, not knowing how I should thank her.
"Silly boy, how can you say thank you between friends..." Tangerine hugged me back and said softly.
"Yeah." I leaned on her shoulder. At this moment, I felt really warm.
It’s nice to have friends.
