When Mary hugged me, I could feel my heart pumping blood all over my body, which shouldn't be possible. I don't have a pulse, and worse, I started to feel something akin to thirst. It's soo bad that It was taking me all of my willpower not to bite her neck and drink her blood right now. I just stood there like a stone, not daring to move a muscle. I could feel my eyes and claws slowly changing. I also felt the thirst more and more unbearable. I don't need to drink blood. What's happening to me?
"Ellesha, what's wrong?"
"Guards!"
I could hear them, but I couldn't make any sense of what words they are saying. Blood! Blood! BLOOD! Whispers were slowly creeping in my head, and I didn't know what to make of this situation. What the actual fuck is going on with me? This can't go on anymore. Status

What? How am I hungry? I wouldn't need to drink blood... unless I didn't feed for the decade effect to happen. Blood! Blood! Blood! SHUT UP! I just got to this world; OF COURSE, I need to drink blood. Dumb, IDIOT! Blood! SHUT THE FUCK UP! I need to do something!
"What's going on in-"
"Arrest them!"
"WAIT! STOP!"
Deep breaths. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. Blood! Keep calm. Blood! Keep CALM! BLOOD! KEEP CALM! Before I moved my head to Mary's neck to bite her, I felt something sweet like chocolate in my mouth, and I felt my consciousness leaving me.
----------------------------------------
"I don't think it's a good idea to wake her up, your majesty. Last time she didn't take it well."
"Maybe it's not a good idea, but she is the only chance we got."
Mary and another voice that I don't recognize were talking. I'm in a comfy bed, and with a start, I lift myself up to see Mary and a dragon woman. She has horns, wings, and a large tail typical to a dragon in human form. What happened? I remember almost giving in to my hunger. If she called her your majesty, then she is a queen. Why am I not in a cell, then? I think a lot of people would be dead right now because of me. Oh, right, how many did I kill?
"How many... How many did I kill?"
"None, fortunately, fur us, Teacher Mary knew what to do. You should thank her; she almost died after she started to feed you."
"I see... Thank you, Mary."
"No problem Ellesha. You should have said something about your hunger. How long ago did you feed?"
Another question about me another lie. I hope I don't get exposed.
"One hundred years. I can go for one hundred years without feeding. I thought I could overcome the hunger that's why I stopped. I was wrong. Are you okay Mary your skin doesn't look so good."
"A little bloodloss won't kill me, Ellesha. I'm quite resilient for a succubus. Don't you worry your little head."
"She almost died when the healer found her. The healing spells weren't working properly because she started to drink potion after potion to keep up with the rate you drank."
"Your majesty!"
"But now she can walk at least."
That bad, huh. Should I give some of my blood for her to heal? Vampire blood can heal any type of injury as long as you drink it before you die. Also, as a precaution, you can't become a vampire using only the blood. If you die with vampire blood in your system, nothing happens, but if a vampire was feeding on you and also you were to drink the blood of that certain vampire at the same time, you will die and live as a vampire. That's the only way to make a vampire. I better heal her.

"Mary, come here."
"Why?"
"Just come here."
As Mary makes her way to the bed that I'm, I bite my left wrist and hand it to her.
"Drink."
"What?! No!"
"Drink unless you want to die."
Reluctantly she takes my bleeding wrist close to her mouth and starts to drink. Glancing at the dragon, I wonder why she is here.
"Why are you here?"
"Hostile already? I'm the queen of Amisia, Cesora Kolaru. I'm here in hoping you would help me with a problem."
"Depends on the problem. Though I don't know what you would expect of me. I'm just a normal vampire."
"Who is a royal adviser comparable to a king and had her own court? Though I doubt you could leave without your guards."
Sigh. "All of them are dead. They have been like that for 300 years. I'm the last one of my race." I look at the sheets, which started to become painted in my blood due to my wrist. "Can I talk to Mary in private? I will listen to your problem afterward."
"Wery well. I will be outside."
She walks to the door, opens it, and closes, leaving me with Mary. I look at her face to see that she is in pure bliss. She met my eyes and stopped leaving my bite marks on the wrist open for a few seconds before they closed.
"Thank you for the meal."
"What do you mean?"
"Your blood has so much life force that I leveled up ten times in my race. I just had my fill for two days; I can't take anymore."
"I'm sorry, Mary. You almost died because of me."
"I told you it's fine."
"It's not; you almost became a vampire. Eternity is not something I wish to give to a friend."
"Wait, so all I have to do is to drink your blood to became a vampire?"
"The person has to die to become one. You almost did."
"Listen Ellesha, I know we didn't start on good hands with me charming you and you almost killed me three times, but I have to help you. Not because I have to but because I need to. When I look at you, I see myself when I was young. So how about we start over, eh?"
"Gladly."
"Alright, but first, we should see what does the queen wants. I know you are royal, but you should be more respectful of her. She can command her guards to execute us, or throw us in prison."
"Mary, respect in my race is gained not given. If she wants my respect, she has to gain it."
"Okey, fine. I can't force you to do something you don't want. By the way, are you hungry?"
Hmm. I feel normal, there aren't any whispers, and I don't exhibit any thirst. I should see my status just in case. Status.

I guess I'm satisfied until one hundred years pass. I should start feeding every day. I have to find a way to keep my hunger in check. I don't want to give in my hunger like the last time. What time is it?
"No, I'm not hungry anymore. How much time has passed?"
"Oh, not much just three hours. You were sleeping so peacefully that I thought to leave you be, but the queen had other plans. As soon as I let you use my wrist to feed you, the queen's guards come to us, followed by the queen. She asked for a healer to heal me and you to be transported to the palace. By the way, are you not felling anything because you are in a place you can't enter?"
"Can we talk about this at home?"
"Sure. Com on, let's go see what the queen wants."
I get up from the bed and exit the room. The queen is right beside the door.
"What is your problem?"
"Follow me."
And so we follow her through the palace. This place is massive, and I'm not talking about how long the hallways are but on how big. This could fit a normal tank in length and a giraffe in height. Is the space necessary for the other races who can't transform or for these who don't have a human form yet? Anyway, we walk for some time and I can tell you besides the length and height the colors are impressive as a lot of gold decorate the walls. How many years did this place need to be built? We ended up on a door as big as the hallway. The guards stationary there have black armor. Both of them take the handles on the door and begin to pull. Inside I can see familiar faces. Ali's party is present along with a dragon in human form sitting on a throne. He must be the king. We enter as the doors begin to close after we walk inside. There is a chair in front of the throne a few feets away. He doesn't look that old but then again neither does the queen. I wonder what's his power level?
"Take a seat."
Who? Me? Hah. I guess I have no choice. So I sit and beside me is the queen on my left and Mary on my right.
"I'm the king of Amisia, Arsorthe Kolaru. I'm pleased to-"
"Cut to the chase I'm not one for formalities. What do you want?"
Sigh. "Do you know them?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Why wouldn't I be?"
"Because they were sent to look after you when my queen had a vision. But they come here today to tell me that they don't remember yesterday besides killing three wolves which would result normally in deaths. You can manipulate memories can't you?"
Bah. What a bummer. There it goes one of my special abilities. Should I say yes or no? Wait he assumed that I manipulate memories not complete control. If I play my cards right my skill would stay still hidden.
"And If I said yes? I could just make all of you to forget about me. What's your point."
Ali's party members including her come in front of me and bowed their heads. What's going on?
"Thank you for saving us. Although we didn't know who saved us we do know that someone did. By the order of the king, and by having a life debt to you, we would like to serve you. Please accept our servitude."
What!? Did the king just pull one on me? By giving me servents I can't move around freely and he also has someone to keep an eye on me. Damit!
"What happens if I don't accept?"
"I will personally execute them."
Gee. He has no chill. "Then I accept. Will, I have a house, or do I need to buy one?" I can't have so many people without living somewhere.
"Yes you will have a house but before that, I have a request."
"Stop beating around the bush just say it."
"Can you save my daughter?"
"... Hah?"
