Все главы The Vicious and Vengeful: Глава 51 - Глава 60

Akira opened his eyes and found himself on the sofa, back in the system office. He slowed down his breathing as he calmed down. The pain he was just feeling moments ago was nothing but a dull, throbbing sensation.     He sat up slowly and tried to make sense of what happened recently. He remembered being stabbed through his chest by one assassin and then nothing but blood-curdling pain and then, the next thing he knew, was that he was back here.   He looked down at the shirt he was wearing and lifted his hands to unbutton it only to see it was a useless effort seeing as his fingers were shaking badly; he clenched his hands to stop them from shaking but it was no use. His hands continued to shake and tremble.   He closed his eyes and leaned back on the couch to wait out the pain that was still running through his body, unknowingly falling into a fitful sleep.   *****  

Author's comments: (...) Noah couldn't help but freeze, the boy that half an hour ago was said to be dying was hovering over him and had a look of hunger on his face, the way he was looking at him made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Noah suddenly felt that he was in danger and moved his hands to Alexander's shoulders and attempted to push him, but nothing happened, all of sudden Alexander moved and pushed his face into his neck which made him freeze in shock. He felt a sharp pain on the side of his neck and he felt something wet sliding to the back of his neck and he didn't even have to think hard about what it was because he could smell it, it was blood, his blood and Alexander was sucking it out of him. It was painful since Alexander's lips were pulling at the edges of his bite wound, he tried pushing him off but no matter how hard he tried, the body above his wouldn't budge, he felt his limbs weakening and his hands fell to his sides as they lost all their strength.

Previously... Akira was waiting for Daisuke to finish his work when he heard movement outside the door of his room. The door was open and the footsteps of whatever was out there were very heavy. He waited and listened as the sound grew louder and closer. Soon, there was a big shadow cast onto the threshold of the door, before suddenly ....   A small tiger was standing in the open doorway.   Akira: "....."   Daisuke: "......"   Alexander stared at the small tiger cub, but then a splitting headache attacked him. He groaned as he pressed down on his forehead. He was overcome with the memories of the original soul. He found the tiger cub on a cold winter night when he turned thirteen, the baby cub was nearly dead and very thin. It looked like it had starved for weeks, if not months. It was barely alive. When Alexander picked up the cub, it immediately started sucking on his finger

After recovering from his shock, Alexander once again registered the smell of a decaying body. He pushed himself up from the ground with help of the wall, but as he suddenly stood up, he felt light-headed and disoriented with his surroundings for a moment. Alexander shook his head to stabilize himself and made a note to practice controlling his new powers until they're like second nature.   He headed back the way he came until he reached the main hall again and entered the kitchen, planning to make some food to leave for his Noah in case he woke up from his fever while he was out. As he opened the fridge, he realized he had to go shopping. Also, he had to buy grave supplies for the body.   He went through the entire fridge, which was almost empty, finding only a few ingredients. He had little option about what to cook. In the end, he settled on a Cresent Ring made of bacon, eggs, cheese, peppers, mushrooms, spinach, artichokes, and asparagus

{...} : System thoughts....Alexander was shocked by the sudden action, quickly registering that it was a tiger before he was tackled to the ground by it. He stared up at the large blue eyes staring down at him in shock before he was licked by the enormous cat on top of him.Alexander blinked before bursting into laughter. He laughed until he cried before he slowly stopped and calmed down. He grinned up at the large furry face that was Jayden. He was originally worried that being exposed to the virus would cause it to die like the butler, but his worries were clearly unfounded. Alexander gently pushed away the tiger before sitting up.“Dani, I would like you to meet Jayden, the baby of the family. Before you ask, he’s usually not this big, but a small cute chubby and overly furry tiger.”Dani stared at the tiger that stood well over 6 feet tall with wick
