Chapter 7 : Zion

"...ah..hah...ugh!..."

Head forcefully tilted to the side, while my body limp and paralyzed. I felt my body turning cold seconds by seconds.

*Suck* *Suck* *Suck*

I could feel cold lips attached to my skin. Sharp teeth pierced my neck. Blood flows out of my body, slowly being sucked out. Slowly making my body cold and weak.

I wanted to struggle but none of my limbs moved. I was paralyzed, weak and cold.

I opened my mouth, desperately breathing in oxygen. I can see my surroundings turning dimmed. Stream of tears burst out from my eyes, clouding my sight more, until I felt that I'm blind.

I can't see anything. The surroundings were dark, making me more sensitive. I felt cold at the same time, hot. The part where I was bitten feels really hot, while my body...it keeps getting colder and colder.

It hurts. It's painful. My head is blank and I can't think of anything. I felt scared, anxious and panicked.

I don't know what to do. I don't know what to think.

I was anxious, scared. Panicked and fear rose within chess as it heaves up and down.

I didn't expect this. I never want this.

I was scared.

Am I going to die?

"Hmnn... surprisingly, your blood is really delicious, ahh~" she said, as she whispered in my ears. I felt her teeth retracted in my neck. It's prickly, as if a thick needle was inserted and pulled out of my body and I can't help but take a deep breath. And as I let go of my breath, I don't know, but I felt numb.

I felt something wet in my ear. It should feel ticklish, because it's one of my weaknesses but right now...it's as if I was hit by a lightning, making all the hair in my body stand up.

I could feel it...her tongue licking my ear...and trailing down my neck.

I couldn't feel it...her breathing. She's cold like ice...and it was very frightening.

Then all of the sudden, my hair was pulled up, making my head raise up. My numb body turned from the inertia, and this...made me turn to her.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

It was the woman I saw as I walked frightened by the road.

My blurry eyes saw terrifying red light in the depths of her dark eyes. Her skin is pale and white. Despite the hair covering her face, I saw it through the gaps...

She was smiling.

Two sharp teeth that can't be covered by her pale lips appeared in front of me.

I was terrified.

I never expected this thing to happen to me.

I never thought of involving myself in such circumstances.

I am scared. Really scared. But my body is paralyzed and I can't run. I can't even tremble, it's as if every nerve in my body stops working. All I could do is breathe...breathe as many oxygens as I need to stay alive.

But is she really going to spare my life?

"... you're...really delicious." She looked at me. Her eyes glow bloody red. She licked her lips, as if she was thinking about the bloody, she just sucks from me. And repeatedly, she told me I was delicious. "...but sadly, you’re not my type. If you're a man, I would have kept you for days longer. But..." her smile widens, showing those sharp pointy teeth.

When I saw them, I couldn't help but feel apprehensive. Feel anxious, thinking that she would strike those teeth in my neck again, and suck my blood until I completely dry.

I felt afraid, scared. I wanted to beg. Beg for her to let me live.

I don't want to die.

At least not like this.

It's not that I'm afraid to die, it's just that, I'm afraid to make my family sad. That's the first thing that flashed in my mind as I thought of death.

Mama will blame herself if she knew I was dead. I can't let that happen.

I tried opening my mouth, thinking that if I beg her, she might let me live. I opened them, trying hard to let out a sound. A word. But it was futile.

I tried speaking but none of the words in my mind came out.

I can only breathe. Nothing else.

And this made me really helpless.

As if something was pulled inside of me. My tears flowed unstoppable.

But instead of feeling pity, I saw her eyes glowed more in amusement.

She chuckled, and with a flash– without giving any warning, she lowered her head and opened her mouth wide, revealing the full length of her sharp pointy teeth. And quickly go for my neck.

I could only let out a painful groan and my eyes rolled towards the back of my head.

Then "thud" she let me go and I fell down like a puppet with my string cut off. And with little consciousness lingering, I saw her walking, bypassing my body.

And before I completely passed out, I saw her coming towards someone. And if I'm not mistaken, that silhouette belongs to a man.

...

...

...

Abruptly opening my eyes and breathing in air as if I just came out of water, seemingly like being drowned.

My eyes were completely black, but within, an eerie bloody red light glowing at the depths of them. My body trembles and shivers unstoppable, as if I am being frozen in the freezer.

But I couldn't help it. I can't stop the tremors of my body.

My face was wet with tears.

I looked around, panicked and fear filled my creepy eyes. I was alert and cautious. I don't know where I am at first, but after a while...

I realized I'm in my room. This familiar bedroom and the comfortable bed that usually invites me to sleep more...

I am safe.

There's no monster here anymore.

That time has already passed and everything is over now.

Except...

I'm not alive anymore.

I woke up from my nightmares and I became one of them.

I'm now a vampire.
