Chapter 1 Breakfast
I am a vampire. To be precise, I am a vampire spawn.
What is a vampire spawn? Well, you human beings are just so ignorant and curious.
If one day, you have a whim and want to become a vampire.
Then, you need to find a vampire friend... What? You said you don't have vampire friends?
Pathetic! Just observe, those who live day and night reversed, have white lips, and never open the curtains at day, are most likely bloodsuckers. You can find them easily.
Next, ask your vampire friend to bite you, and be sure to tell him to control the urge to suck you dry. However, they usually do not listen, so I suggest that you also hold a silver cross in your hand, or hang garlic all over the room. This way, either you can deter him, or make him nauseous, and he won't dare to drink too much blood.
After the bite, you should also bite him, restraining the nausea, and suck his blood.
After exchanging blood, you can transform into a complete vampire within 24 hours.
You will be incredibly strong, and ageless, able to cast enchanting spells, and even transform other vampires. There are few side effects. Not so much, only unable to wake up during the day, unable to sleep at night, unable to sunbathe... and say goodbye to garlic and silver jewelry... also, this one is my favorite, receiving 100 points of mental damage immediately upon seeing a cross... There are not many shortcomings, right?
However, if you are bitten by a vampire and do not drink his blood, you will become a spawn like me. In addition to all the side effects mentioned above, vampire spawn will forget their previous lives, cannot transform other vampires, and their minds will be completely obedient to their transformers, seeing them as masters.
The internal hierarchy of vampires is strict, and spawns are generally only cultivated when the masters need slaves.
But as time went on, due to the rise of the modern city administration, hunting humans became very difficult, and the emergence of household appliances made the masters no longer need that many slaves.
Therefore, my master has only one spawn, me.
Because human blood is difficult to obtain, since I transformed three years ago, I have only been able to drink animal blood. Even so, I still have to go out every week to hunt for humans and prepare meals for my master.
Yesterday, because I brought back a young and healthy man who was stunned by a charm spell, my master finally allowed me to taste human blood.
When he stood up from the dining table, I went up to serve him, only to see his porcelain-like face smiling gently and kissing me.
Under the impact of the spawn blood, I felt great joy and happiness. Getting a kiss from my master was like all the beauty in the world descending upon me!
My master seems very excited. He held me in his arms and stroked my hair affectionately.
“Alice, my child, you’re wonderful.”
His voice was clear and melodious, full of magnetism, like the low hum of a cello. His arms tightened around me, almost squeezing my heart pumping.
“My good baby...”
“As long as you like, master, I’m willing to do anything.”
My blood was cold, and my heart was still, but when the spawn faced the master, there was always an uncontrollable throbbing and obsession. Besides, my master was almost like a handsome man in classical oil paintings, elegant, noble, and handsome.
He gently held my hand, looking at me, his deep eyes flowing with tenderness and love, like a vast and boundless starry sky. My heart couldn’t help but tremble as if I was in a world where there were only the two of us, all the noise was isolated outside, only his gaze, only his hand.
“My Alice hasn’t tasted human yet, right? This one’s good, but I didn’t have the appetite, so I left it all for you. Go ahead, taste it.”
I cautiously asked several times before daring to sit down at the dining table.
After the master finished his meal and felt tired, he kissed my cheek and left the dining room. As soon as he left, I eagerly sucked on the bite marks he left.
What does it feel like to taste human blood for the first time?
It’s like a cold, piercing blast of water to the face, instantly sobering. But when it melts into a scorching hot flow down the neck, it feels like being burned in a furnace. When the liquid slides down the throat into the stomach, it feels like being bitten by countless insects. Finally, when all of the liquid flows down the esophagus and into the brain, I lose consciousness... However, soon after, the pain dissipates with hunger and is replaced by overwhelming desire and thirst!
The master warned me that when I drink blood, I must kill the person, otherwise, he will become a spawn like me, and their intelligence depends on how much blood you leave. The less blood left, the lower the intelligence. Spawns like me, basically the master only took one bite and didn’t even suck. I asked the master why, and he said my blood was hard to swallow.
Although I was a little sad about my master’s dislike, I still remember his words about cleaning the table.
It’s just that the desire that had just surged in my stomach was not satisfied, I couldn’t bring myself to break the human’s neck that was on my hands.
According to the master, my transformation took three days, so he shouldn’t transform so quickly, right?
So, before he transforms, can I keep drinking his blood and suck him dry?
I smiled.
What a waste it would be if I couldn’t finish drinking a human for the first time.
I remembered how painful it was to see the blood wasted every time I helped the master dispose of the corpses.
I can’t waste it!
Not even a drop can be wasted!
I picked up the half-dead human and stuffed him into the freezer in the basement, secretly looking forward to the fresh blood when I woke up tomorrow.
As I was stuffing the person, a wolf-shaped badge fell off his body. I was about to pick it up, but my fingertips were burned when I touched it, emitting a smell of burnt flesh.
It was silver.
I was a little annoyed and angrily kicked it away.
When I returned to the hall, a ray of sunlight came in through the crack in the curtains. I immediately rushed up and closed the curtains. It seemed like morning already.
The master changed into his robe and stood on the stairs, smiling at me. As usual, he reached out his hand to me.
I walked over, leaning on him and smelling his faint fragrance, feeling particularly at ease.
"It's time to sleep, Alice."
He kissed my forehead and led me back to the bedroom.
I served him as usual until he was satisfied, and then obediently lay next to him. Although my heart was filled with joy from being loved by the master, I couldn't sleep for a long time because of the secret in the refrigerator.
"Alice." The master suddenly called me.
I opened my eyes and looked at him obediently.
The master leaned on the bed, lying on his side. His lips shimmered with seductive luster under the dim lamp. He reached out his hand and rubbed my hair. There was gauze wrapped around his hand, which seemed to have been accidentally injured when he went out.
"What's wrong? Master?" I looked up at him and asked, "Is it about the wound on your hand? Let me..."
"Can't sleep?" His gaze fell on my hand, picked it up gently, and kissed it. Then he kissed his way up to the butterfly tattoo on my chest, panting before lifting his head.
His eyes were gentle and affectionate, like a clear spring soaking into people's hearts.
"Mm." I closed my eyes. "Did I wake up the master?"
"No." He held me tighter. "Don't go out these days, I will hunt by myself."
"Did I do something wrong today?" I lowered my head in frustration.
"How could it be? My Alice is so clever and beautiful, where could there be anything wrong?"
My mood improved a lot. The master's praise was more effective than any words.
The master continued to kiss gently, his tongue circling the butterfly tattoo on my chest until I made a satisfied sigh.
"There are vampire hunters active in the city these days, and a spawn is an easy target for them. You will be safe after I finish them."
I nodded in a daze. I heard that vampire hunters are fierce warriors who vowed to eradicate all vampires in the world. They are equipped with silver swords and holy water, and some of them are werewolves. Therefore, many people had wolf heads tattooed on their backs.
The threats faced by the vampires were not only from vampire hunters but also from their kin. In the past week, there have been two serial murder cases in the city, and the victims were all stabbed to death with a random knife in a dark alley at night. This is a common method of killing among vampires, and it is probably some unrestrained member of the blood house who moved to town. The sense of territory among vampires is extremely strong, and once there is a conflict, it will inevitably lead to the death of the other party.
"I understand, master." I obediently nodded my head. "You should also pay attention to safety." "Okay." He touched my long hair. "Rest early."
I closed my eyes, sniffing the master's scent, and fell asleep deeply.
