Chapter 11: Feral and Candy.

(*Streya’s POV.*)

Luckily, I was able to draw my handgun, and shoot her with it. I wasn’t keen on killing a random person, so I just shot her in both of her knees.

Frankly, I probably could have just shot her anywhere, and she would be incapacitated. With the reason being, that the rounds loaded in my handgun, were silver bullets. A very bad thing for vampires to be shot with.

As the woman was clearly in pain on the floor, I figured that it would be fine to let my guard down. Who the hell should I even contact? Speaking of the woman on the ground, she was completely naked.

She barely even looked human… Where the hell did she even come from? I am sure that she didn’t end up looking like this, just from the gate or the fence shocking her.

Streya: “Ciri? Can you help me?” I ask with a serious tone.

Ciri: “What happened!? Shots were reported near your apartment…” She asked with a nervous tone.

Streya: “I have no idea why, but a random woman climbed over my fence, and broke into my house. She seemed to be a vampire, and was very intent on killing me, or maybe sucking my blood.” I explain calmly.

Ciri: “I am on my way there. Luckily, I haven’t returned to that facility just yet, but what happened to the woman?” She asked.

Streya: “I shot both of her knees, and now she is crying on the ground. I think that she won’t be a danger for a little bit.” I reply.

Around ten minutes later, Ciri arrived at my apartment. It was like meeting an old friend again, just all casual and the like. Not! She brought an entire SWAT team with her! Was this really necessary?…

Ciri: “A feral? Odd… There hasn’t been a feral reported for a long time.” She said with a thinking pose while looking at the woman.

As for the woman, she had already been restrained. She was very quiet as well. Why did she even do this, and why did Ciri call her a feral?

Ciri: “Streya, just think of her as a vampire that only cares for blood, similar to the ones from your dimension.” She told me, after the SWAT team shuttled away the woman.

Streya: “Why is she like that?” I ask with a curious expression.

Ciri: “Mentally unstable. Usually, feral vampires, are vampires who are ancient. Basically speaking, they lost their mind.” She answered.

Streya: “How did she go unnoticed for so long?” I ask.

Ciri: “From the recordings, she came out from the sewers. She doesn’t have a PC, so she has been in hiding for a very long time.” She explained.

Streya: “And why the hell did she come out now?…” I say with a thinking pose.

Ciri: “Do you remember my words about the smell of your blood? I would bet all of my Credit that your blood was the reason. She smelt your blood, and couldn’t resist the temptation.” She replied with a sigh.

Stolen story; please report.

Streya: “Will she be executed?” I ask.

Ciri: “Unless you press charges, no. As for what will happen to her, she will end up in a rehabilitation center.” She replied.

I talked with Ciri some more about what happened, and she then left shortly after that. I went upstairs to take a shower. And while bathing, I researched ferals.

According to what I could dig up, the last sighting was eighty years ago. When Ciri said that it’s been a long time since one was reported, she wasn’t joking at all.

After the shower, I plopped down on my bed. I tried going to sleep for a few hours, but I honestly could not sleep at all. I don’t think it’s because I am scared. Maybe it’s because of the adrenalin?

Sin: “Sleep won’t be coming to you at this rate. I suggest going for a walk, or something along those lines.” She proposed.

I thought about going for a run, but as I looked at my clothes in my closet, I realized that I did not have any clothes for exercising. With a sigh, I went back to bed, and decided to just browse the internet for a bit.

I haven’t really bought anything at all, so I went to a site to buy stuff on. Credits can be used with your ID, so a wallet or card number isn’t necessary at all. Ah, yes, online shoppers wish that they could live in such an amazing future!

And I am one of them! I tapped on the best sellers section, and was given a shock… The highest selling items, were all sex toys… Oh, at least there was porn on the list as well! It will take me some time to get used to how open people are about sex in this world…

With a long sigh, I filtered out the porn and sex toys and resumed browsing. Once those things were gone from the results, I was still shocked. There are so many things that you can buy…

Some range from things you wouldn’t think much of, and others were crazy. Why the hell can I buy a fucking l*ghts*ber!? Oh wait, I have to be 21 to buy it. Still… Why is it even for sale? It seems kinda dangerous…

With yet another sigh, I filtered the results to also not show items that are age restricted to 21. Once I shopped around for a few hours, I bought a few items.

Mostly toys. No! Not sex toys! Get your mind out of the gutter! Well, it’s not like I am a prude. I am just not one to use toys. My fingers are good enough. Though, I don’t think that this body is healthy enough for sexual activity at the moment.

I just bought a few stress toys, some clothes, and some snacks. You can’t wave futuristic candy in my face, and not expect me to order a whole truck’s worth of it. Especially when I have so many credits to spend as I please.

With that whole shopping spree finished, I was ready for sleep. As I was falling asleep, Sin notified me that my orders arrived at my door. Right… I assumed that it would take a day or two, but this is a futuristic dimension.

A drone probably dropped it off at my door. Ordering something, and then it arriving within minutes, is kinda crazy. With a groan, I got up from my bed, and walked downstairs. At the door was a small box.

What the hell?… Where are my orders!? With a confused expression, I picked the box up, and went to my living room. I stared at it for a while, before realizing that there was a button on it.

With great curiosity, I pushed the button, and then the white cube thing flew away from me. It landed in an open spot in my living room, made a poof sound, and disappeared. Left behind were all of my orders…

Can this dimension just be normal for one minute!? I am getting whiplash… With a pout, I picked up my orders, put the toys in the living room, and took the candy and clothes upstairs with me.

Yes, I will keep my candy right in my bedroom. No. You judging me harshly for this, has no effect on me at all. I will eat candy in my room, and you will watch in horror as I do so.

I put on a nightgown and plopped back onto my bed once more. Before falling asleep, I asked Sin to pick which candy that I should try. She picked out a green and sour-looking candy.

Oddly, marketing in this dimension was pretty low-key. These candies were named, “Green Sour Strips.” And were in pretty plain packaging. Sure, there are still products with cool designs, but this one was the highest rated sour candy.

It had various green-themed flavors, such as green apple and others. Taking a bite of one, I was blown away! Why the flying fuck does it taste so good!? I looked at the ingredients on the back of the package and found something odd…

Not only did it taste good, but it was actually healthy to eat. God, the future is amazing! I feel bad about all of the people still left in my original world…

With a happy smile, I ate one more sour strip, and quickly fell asleep. Just to prove how good this candy was, I had a dream where I ate even more of it…
