Alexis was stay silent the whole way in Adrian's car. It was Adrian's decision, and yes, to drop off and pick up Alexis to work. One of the things that Adrian is responsible for is Alexis' safety. But when Alexis asked further about her safety, Adrian didn't say much things. He only said that if other vampires found and hurt Alexis, it would be Adrian's most painful regret, for not being able to prevent form that will happening. Although, for Alexis, she herself had absolutely no idea why she could be trust Adrian so easily just like right now. Reminiscing about who Adrian really is. Shouldn't Alexis be afraid and run away. But then again, Alexis herself couldn't explain it either. As if from the first time Adrian bit and sucked her blood that night, a bond had formed, although Alexis couldn't explain it in simple words. The situation that Alexis was feeling right now was a complicated one.
Several times Alexis turned her head towards Adrian who was focused on driving the car. Then she turned her gaze back to the street. Alexis increasingly does not understand the attraction she feels at this time to Adrian. A part of her told her not to just trust Adrian so easily. But another part of her said that Adrian was a good vampire. Or indeed that is the truth that exists for now. On the other hand, Adrian, who had been holding himself back from asking questions, started glancing at Alexis several times. He felt that Alexis had been watching him for a long time.“What are you thinking right now, Alexis?” Adrian asked as he refocused on the street.Alexis looked back at Adrian, then sighed slowly. "There isn't any. Just something unimportant.”"You are sure? You've been looking at me with a certain gaze ever since." Said Adrian once again asked. Because he himself wasn't sure what Alexis was thinking or feeling right now and there."Em... where are you taking me home tonight?" Alexis tried to ask. Although that wasn't really what he wanted to ask Adrian right now."If you don't mind, will you stay at my castle tonight?" Adrian turned his head briefly to look at Alexis."No problem." Alexis answered briefly. Before finally turning his gaze towards the street.Without another word, Adrian began to steer the car they were driving towards the forest. The location of the castle that became his home is located. Adrian felt strange with his feelings starting to weaken. Whether it's a positive or negative thing. Adrian still can't explain it. But by asking Alexis to stay the night at his castle, his feelings felt like they were shaking. It was as if his long-dead heart was slowly starting to come back to life once again.***"Sit over there first. I'll make something for you." Adrian said directing Alexis to sit right on the sofa.The two of them had just arrived at Adrian's castle. With the quiet and dark atmosphere of the forest surrounding the castle was what directly greeted Alexis there. "Making something?" Alexis asked while walking beside Adrian there."Yes. Of course food and drink. Or anything that you want right now. And I'm sure that you must be hungry by now." Adrian answered with a small smile on his face.Alexis frowned in confusion. "Do you have any ingredients for cooking? Shouldn't vampires have nothing to do with human food needs?" Alexis asked. Because a year, vampires only survive by consuming blood. Whether it's human blood or animal blood though.Adrian quickly turned his head and looked amused at Alexis. Can't believe what Alexis just asked him just now on right now. "Do you think that vampires only eat humans blood?" Adrian turned to ask.Innocently, Alexis nodded her head slowly. "Isn't that so? Vampires only eat humans blood… and not human food.” Her words once again explained what she understood in her mind right now.Before long, Adrian laughed at what Alexis said. Of course, directly making Alexis frown even more there. What's wrong with what I said? Why is Adrian laughing like that? Alexis thought to herself at this moment."Gosh, Alexis. Of course vampires don't just eat blood. And don't speculate about what the movies say about vampires. We consume blood because we need it to survive, if we don't consume blood for a certain period of time, we will suffer until we die. And of course that is the most painful way to die as a vampire. In addition, we can still eat and drink with things that humans normally consume. But without drinking human blood, for a vampire it's like starving to death." Adrian explained long enough.Raising her eyebrows, Alexis no longer felt confused there. “Does that mean you can still eat cake, drink hot chocolate and stuff? I mean, this morning you gave me a sandwich and milk… did you make it too?” Alexis asked again.Adrian nodded his head with a big smile on his face. "Yes, I made it for you. And of course, vampires can consume those things. Although as time goes on, we will surely lose our human tastebuds more and more. And I can't even taste anything else by myself, other than the taste of human blood of course.”“Was that one of the reasons how much you wanted to drink my blood that day?” Alexis started to get up the courage to ask. There is no more feeling of fear and worry when you are near Adrian now. Maybe it happened, because Alexis subconsciously began to trust Adrian.The question said by Alexis clearly made Adrian speechless. Alexis doesn't know the truth yet. About her blood which is the pure blood of vampire hunters. Even if Alexis found out, she probably wouldn't be able to accept it. She is too weak for being in fight with the wild vampires. Because her life would be even more in danger. And I can't let that happen. Adrian's mind spoke. Slowly, Adrian nodded his head. “Yes… that is one of the reasons.” Adrian muttered at last.***"I still can't sleep right now. I’m not feeling sleepy at all." Said Alexis for the umpteenth time.Right now she and Adrian were still in the living room area inside the castle. Holding a glass of hot chocolate made by Adrian earlier, Alexis looked at Adrian. Likewise with Adrian who also holds a glass of hot chocolate for himself. “You have a morning class, Alexis. Of course, you need some sleep right now.” Adrian answered the same since the first time Alexis said that she still couldn't sleep there.Alexis rolled her eyes there, then sighed. "Do vampires need sleep too?" Alexis was very curious about the life of a vampire. Throughout the lectures on the mythology course, there are not many things that can be discussed about the habits possessed by vampires.“To sleep... we don't really need it. Because we basically don't sleep, Alexis. But, we prefer to close our eyes and just relax a little bit.” answered Adrian explained.Alexis drank a little hot chocolate from the glass in her palms. “That day, when I threw garlic… why didn't you weaken? Mr. Joylon once said that vampires are very afraid of garlic. But considering your angry reaction that day, it seems what Mr. Joylon is really wrong."“Vampires won't weaken just because there's garlic, Alexis. We're not afraid of those things. There's a lot wrong in the mythology about us as vampires. Just a few things we need to avoid to stay strong, and live.” Adrian put his glass on the table near them at this time.Alexis pursed her lips. She hesitated to ask again, but when Adrian looked at her as if waiting, Alexis opened her lips there again. "Then what are vampires afraid of?"Adrian's gaze turned dreamy. "We are afraid of losing the chance to be able to live once again as a human and live a normal life or remain a vampire who is much stronger than before without someone accompanying them in their eternal life."Adrian is even right now more ready with all of his belongings and also Alexis which has been packed into the bags and suitcases that they already have right on there about right now immediately. After Adrian got a call from Alexis that already telling him about of everything that already had happened, when Zoe finally found out the truth about the two of them of being the vampires, Adrian immediately began to prepare about all of everything that he and Alexis already needed to bring about to go back then directly. Adrian occasionally looked at Alexis, who still looked so surprised on there, by sitting right on the sofa in the living room in the castle about just like right now already. "No problem, Alexis. Don't think about all of that things anymore again right now on." Adrian muttered on there, as he started walking so much more closer to Alexis right on there and started to sitting the right next to Alexis right now on and back then earlier. Adrian even began to grip Alexis' right
Tonight, Alexis decided to go get back to the work at the Grill and Mac restaurant just like she usually does after finally making it through the transitional period of the new born vampire. What's more about that, right now Alexis can feel very more comfortable and no longer feels to wary of her vampire instincts like that before. And yes, Alexis was very happy because even though she was in a group of humans aka the customers who came to the restaurant, Alexis really didn't feel so much bothered anymore on there, let alone it was difficult to adapt on there about right now. Alexis felt far able to relax and calm of herself after all of that things. Even Alexis herself has also begun to realize how to be able to distinguish the smell of blood that is owned by each human being, which is also very different. It's not just the smell of delicious blood that good humans have, or just the smell of normal blood that bad humans have. But also other scents according to the condition of the hu
Alexis immediately opened both of her eyes on there in an instant way with a very fast movement about right now on there. With all of that swift movement on there already happened, Alexis immediately to started to get up from of the bed and also ran so much quickly into the bathroom about on there directly. Alexis even stopped right in the front of the sink in the bathroom, and immediately lowered of her head on there and immediately to closed both of her eyelids so very tightly on there right away and started to spewing about something disturbing in inside of her stomach and chest at this very moment actually. Alexis was even coughing because of that things right on there about right now immediately. Alexis even started to feel of the heat that she already felt in inside of her chest and stomach right on there about right now directly. Which even make Alexis even couldn't understand about all of that thigs directly that happened in over there about right away. Alexis even began to ma
Alexis who listened to Zoe's voice right on behind of her then suddenly started to lower her head in slightly on there right away immediately, shaking on her head in slowly movement already on there about. "Not. There isn't any about that happened actually. My eyes were just twinkling about just right now, and my stomach is queasy, so it feels a little bit weird for me tho.” Alexis mumbled on there answered to the Zoe immediately right now. And of course, Alexis wouldn't even be able to lift her head and look directly at Zoe who was still standing on right behind of her on there about directly. Moreover, the eye contact lens that Alexis already had before have been using for a long time had right now come off and fell right on the floor on there about right now already. Besides, Alexis's both of eyes on that were still blackish red about right now on there actually, might just instantly make Zoe feel so scared about of Alexis right on there about right now immediately if Zoe see her e
One week later...Alexis is right now getting more ready in the front of the dressing table in Adrian's room, which is right now is already their private room about on there immediately. Right now she decided to get return to go back at work at the Grill and Mac restaurant tonight right away actually. After all, Alexis hadn't even officially resigned as one of the employees at the restaurant to Mr. James before. And of course, Alexis needed to make a good impression before she finally deciding to stop working at the Grill and Mac restaurant about later. Alexis hadn't even told to Adrian about all of this things before actually. Because for the past week before, Adrian has been so busy to can helping Alexis to recognize the scents of human blood that they can drink about and also the human that can they hunt together about immediately. Alexis already thought about all of that things, that she already could control herself about right now on there too actually. And it would definitely b
Alexis just kept running with her super fast power on there right now immediately. Alexis followed the vampire instincts that which she was currently following about on there already. Alexis nose smelled the delicious scent of human blood right on there right now actually. Alexis sharpened the senses that she had all of over her body even more on there about right now directly. Alexis didn't even care about the voices that always filled her ears right now about and on there already. Alexis further entered the forest area, and realized that the delicious scent of human blood was coming from the humans who were right now currently swimming in the river on there actually. Alexis stopped her running steps on there immediately right now, and hid her body right behind the big of tree that already near to the river area on there right away. Alexis's blackish red eyes seemed to be getting sharper on there right now already. Alexis remembered that since the war ended back then, she had drunk a
