Chapter 23
—–
I could only widen my eyes and press against the tree behind me; seeing this incident felt like I was instantly traumatized.
“Rawrrrr!!!”
“David stop it!”
I screamed while holding my head with both hands when I saw David about to slash the head of the man wearing the red shirt with the sharp claws of his right hand.
David stopped immediately and glanced at me. And that second, the man wearing a red shirt immediately ran away from the place.
“David!”
I called out his name while shaking my head, signaling that there was no need to chase after him.
.....
I think David did what I asked; he just kept quiet and let the man wearing the red shirt escape.
Not long after, David suddenly changed back into human form. He only wore the pants earlier, even though the shape was already messy.
I swallowed hard when I saw David walking towards me; his body is so good I think he often exercises, but what caught my attention was the sharp scratch wound on his body.
“Are you okay?” David asked me while standing as if keeping his distance from me.
I nodded, affirming that I was fine, which I wasn’t.
“Your wound,” I said, looking at the scratches on David’s body.
“Ah, don’t worry; it will heal in a few minutes!” Said David while looking at the claw wounds on his body.
I immediately sat limply on the ground and leaned against the big tree behind me; it felt like I wasn’t dreaming.
“I’ll explain it to you!”
“Yes, you do have to explain everything to me!” I answered quickly in response to what he had just said.
“Wait, aren’t you afraid of me?” David asked as he stepped closer to me.
“Stop right there; even though I’m talking to you doesn’t mean I’m not afraid of you! I still couldn’t believe you were a Werewolf in real life!” I said, shaking my head and glancing fearfully at David.
David smiled at me while sitting on the ground; he crossed his legs and looked at me with a funny face.
“Then what about them?” I asked, glancing at the two bodies of the men David had just killed.
“Don’t worry; they will soon disappear as their bodies turn to ashes!” David replied with a chuckle.
“Look, my wound has healed right!” He added with a smile looking at the wound that had begun to close and heal.
I was surprised to widen my eyes because what he said was true; the wounds on his body slowly healed on their own.
“What happened?” I asked so innocently I didn’t know what was going on.
“I think you’re the one that many supernatural beings in this town are looking for!” Said David while looking at me.
“How could that be?” I asked.
“Because the blood that resides within you is the Sacred Blood that is so rare and desired by countless other supernatural beings!”
“Holy? How can that be?” I asked curiously, still scared by what just happened, but I tried to find out.
“As in the prophecy, One Day, there will be someone born with a Rare and Holy Pure Blood. Other supernatural beings will fight over the blood because anyone who can drink your blood will have extraordinary powers that I cannot imagine!”
I immediately fell silent when I heard what David said because I thought it all made no sense. After all, as long as I’m alive, something like that can’t happen in this world.
“Impossible If that’s the case. Why didn’t this supernatural being catch or prey on me when I was little?” I said, shaking my head.
“Impossible because the smell of your blood can only be felt by other supernatural beings when you turn 17 years old,”
“Do you remember what happened at my house? When you held the Grimoire?” David asked me.
I tried to remember and nodded my head, “So what?”
“After that incident, the scent of your blood could be felt by countless other supernatural beings in this city. That’s because your blood attracted the Grimoire Book to you!” David explained.
Even though he explained it, I still didn’t understand his meaning.
It’s as if my head is full to digest all of this, and I can’t just follow the flow that is currently happening.
I shook my head. Believe it or not, with the story given by David, I tried to keep it as if nothing had happened.
“What should I do now?” I asked David because I was confused about what I should do now.
“Marry me because that is the only way so that you will not be disturbed by other supernatural beings in this city!”
I froze for a moment and couldn’t breathe. My heart seemed to stop when David said that.
Married to him? How could he say that so lightly to him?
“Are you kidding? Married to you?” I said in disbelief while chuckling and looking at him.
“Do I look joking about telling you that?”
I fell silent for a moment when I realized that what David said was not a joke. But he was really serious about telling me that.
“No way. How can you ask me to marry you when I’m a boy, and you’re a boy? And we can’t-”
I fell silent for a moment when I remembered last night’s incident where David and I had sex. There’s no way I’d say that in front of him openly.
“Yes, we can have sex! Didn’t we do well last night?”
I fell silent for a moment and looked at him when what I was about to say was said by him.
I immediately looked away from David and didn’t know what to say because I was confused about digesting this whole thing.
“We must get out of here immediately; a swarm of vampires is approaching us!” Said David standing up and looking around him. Then he moved quickly, immediately picked me up, and carried me like before.
David ran fast, carrying me into the forest; I was frozen because of what he had said earlier. I still couldn’t say anything when I discovered that a group of vampires was chasing me.
“Don’t worry, I will protect you with my life,” said David as he took me running so fast to a place.
