Chapter VI
His gaze returned to Felicia's cellar. Ah! This feeling came again. Dracula clutched his neck in pain and curled up in the dark and cold cellar.
For some reason, he had been troubled by waves of sudden pain since just now. First, it was his chest and thighs, and now it was his neck. Every time, the pain would increase.
However, the physical discomfort was not the worst. What made Dracula even more uncomfortable was the psychological uneasiness that accompanied the pain. Could it be that something had happened at home, or that Dean had caused trouble again?
Dracula slapped his head hard, feeling extremely anxious. It had been three days since he was poisoned and injured, but his injuries had not improved much. The poison in his body had inhibited his innate self-healing ability as a vampire. It also kept him in a semi-conscious state, his head always groggy.
If Felicia hadn't visited him on time every day, cleaned his dressing and brought him fresh blood, he would have been unable to support himself. Thinking of Felicia, Dracula's indifferent face revealed a smile.
This little girl was a curious baby through and through. Anything would arouse her intense curiosity. Although Dracula, who had always been in a daze, had never properly answered her questions, this did not stop her from continuing to nag.
Felicia would always stare at her with her big eyes and ask Dracula questions that made him laugh and cry. For example," Your skin is so good, how do you usually take care of it? Or maybe you only drink blood and don't eat anything else to maintain your super figure? And so on and so forth. This made Dracula's already muddled head even more dizzy.
However, Dracula didn't find her annoying at all, although he admired people who spoke simply and concisely. For example, the likes of George Nibbs. However, Felicia's nagging was not annoying at all. Instead, she found it very cute and considerate.
Dracula was so lost in his thoughts that he did not notice Felicia coming down the stairs with something in her hands. It was not until she waved the lamp in her hand in front of Dracula's eyes that she pulled him back from his wandering soul.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You're so engrossed." Curious Baby began her exploration and discovery again.
I miss you. Dracula said that in his heart, but he did not admit it. He turned over and sat up against the wall. She answered perfunctorily," Nothing."
Felicia revealed her bright smile again and said,"Liar, you were clearly in a daze just now, but forget it, since you finally opened your mouth to answer me today, I'll spare you.”
Felicia leaned over to Dracula and pressed her forehead against his. "Yes, it's not as hot as it was a few days ago, and I'm in good spirits. It seems that you are slowly recovering."
Felicia's hands were busy talking. She first carefully cleaned Dracula's wound and bandaged it. Then, she poured a cup of blood from the kettle and brought it to his mouth. Dracula was too lazy to take it with his hand. He simply put his mouth to the mouth of the cup and let Felicia serve him. After drinking three glasses in a row, Dracula felt a little better. At least, his body was not as cold as before.
After Felicia was done with everything, she obediently sat down beside Dracula. "How do you feel, Earl?" Can I ask you some questions?"
Curious Baby Again Dracula frowned and said,""It depends on what you want to know. I don't know how to answer some of your questions!”
Felicia looked at Dracula innocently and asked," Then tell me how old you are. When I was young, I heard my lord say that our lord, the Count, was an old vampire, but you look like you're only in your twenties.”
" Hmm," Dracula calculated carefully and said," If I'm not wrong, it should be 306 years old. However, vampires don't age, so I've always maintained my appearance when I became a vampire.”
"Wow, you're already so old." "You've been a lord for three hundred years. You must be a tycoon, right?" Felicia asked in surprise.”
" I wasn't born an Earl," Dracula replied with a smile." I only inherited my father's title and became a lord. However, although many kings changed after that, no one dared to replace me as an Earl of the Blood Clan.”
He changed his sitting position and continued," As for property, my father did leave a lot of it. However, those things are useless to me now. Ever since I became a vampire, I only collected some food and livestock from my people to ensure the food supply of everyone in my city. As for money and the like, they are all free.”
"No wonder." Felicia clapped her hands and said,""I often hear that there are outsiders moving to live in Mark Webber's territory. Even our small village has a few outsiders. I used to wonder if they were crazy. They knew that this place was ruled by vampires, but they still dared to come. Oh, it must be like this."
Felicia nodded, satisfied with her deduction. She then asked,""So many people live at the foot of the mountain, providing blood for you and your nest of vampires. Why have I never heard of anyone around me becoming a vampire?”
Dracula thought for a long time before replying,""This question is very complicated. First of all, I'm the only one in Demon City who lives on blood. There's no such thing as a nest. And I haven't sucked human blood for decades. Have you forgotten my promise to Song Ya?
Secondly, we wouldn't call ourselves vampires. We were usually called vampires. We were divided into vampires with strong spiritual power and a relatively weak status.
Vampires usually only fed on human blood when they were hungry, and most vampires would not kill the people they fed on because vampires were very picky about their food. Under normal circumstances, they would only attack young and beautiful men and women. There were not many people in this group, and it would be a waste to kill them every time.
Therefore, after we suck blood, we will make the wounds of the people we suck heal and cover up the traces. Besides, since ancient times, we vampires have always abided by a rule to hide ourselves as much as possible. I'm afraid there won't be a second vampire like me who is well-known.”
Dracula caught his breath and licked his lips before continuing,""As for vampires, they are actually people who have not completely become vampires. This is also the doing of some irresponsible vampires. Didn't you ask why there were no other vampires nearby? That's because being bitten doesn't make you a vampire. We're different from werewolves. Just sucking blood doesn't make you change. Only after sucking all of a person's blood will you immediately transfuse your own blood to him or let him suck our blood will you change. This kind of change is called the Embrace. Most of the existing vampires had experienced The Embrace, except for the ancient ones.
However, not everyone could withstand such a transformation. Some died on the spot, while some turned into blood-sucking demons. These low-level demons were extremely bloodthirsty. They would swarm people regardless of whether they were hungry or not. Not only did they suck their blood, but they also ate their flesh and bones. Moreover, most of them had become ugly, and they were the most hated things for vampires who worshipped beauty.”
Felicia was listening attentively to Dracula's description of the composition of their race. When she heard the strange and unbelievable things that Dracula said, her eyes lit up with excitement. She began to ask again,"Wow, I didn't expect vampires to have a big family. Moreover, you guys will never grow old. Hey, what's the ancient thing you mentioned just now?”
"Silly girl, you're too naive. It's not so easy to be a vampire.”Dracula smiled and shook his head." Actually, we vampires are not as perfect and powerful as people think. Sometimes, we are also very fragile. We are afraid of the sun, so we can only appear at night. During the day, we hide in dark coffins to rest. And if we don't have blood to replenish ourselves for a period of time, we'll be weaker than a human child. Therefore, there were many Blood Hunters who relied on demon hunting and bounty to make a living. In other words, humans or a small number of vampires who were tired of the life of the Blood Clan would set traps to trap us in places where there was no blood to drink. As long as we were locked up for some time, they could easily eliminate the Blood Clan without any effort. Of course, the Blood Clan was not so easy to trap.
In addition, we still have two biggest enemies. One is those with powerful Psionic Power. These people are usually the leaders of the Church. They chant the Bible, pour holy water, and pierce the hearts of the vampires with silver crosses, making us turn into ashes and unable to be resurrected.
However, there aren't many people who truly have powerful spiritual power, and the things that ordinary people do won't work on us. Therefore, our greatest enemy is ourselves.。。。。。”Dracula said emotionally.
"How is that possible? You already have so many talents, so why are you still killing each other?”Felicia interrupted Dracula and said in disbelief.
"Don't be in a hurry. Listen to me slowly." Dracula continued his explanation." In fact, most vampires feel empty and lonely because of their long and endless lives. That's why they use The Embrace to increase their companions or change their family members. However, blindly increasing the number of vampires has greatly increased the number of aliens. If the vampires wanted to get rid of their lowly and weak status, the fastest way was to drink a large amount of blood from the Blood Clan, which could greatly increase their magic power. Therefore, there were often large groups of vampires working together to attack some weaker or newborn Blood Clans. In addition, the large Blood Clans would also kill each other for their own interests.”
Dracula felt a little tired after talking for so long. He rubbed his head and continued,"You just asked me what an ancient being is? They were the oldest vampires and the most powerful.
They were all descendants of Cain, the first vampire. Therefore, they had supreme power and status. It was said that those old ghosts were no longer afraid of the Sun Holy Water and other injuries. Perhaps only God himself could kill them. Of course, that was under the premise that he would really appear.”
Felicia listened carefully and then realized something.""Hmm, so that's what the ancient ones are like! However, you said you heard about them just now. Have you never seen the ancient ones?”
Dracula gritted his teeth and said,""There are very few of them. I've only seen one bastard.”
Felicia noticed Dracula's anger and asked curiously,""You seem to hate that ancient being. Isn't he your ancestor? Why?"
"Because it was that guy who caused me to become a vampire.”Dracula roared.
The anger in his heart aggravated his injuries. He pressed one hand on his chest and the other on his almost dizzy head, panting heavily.
"Ah! S-sorry, I made you think of something unpleasant.”Felicia apologized as she leaned over and massaged his head with her delicate hands.
"How is it? Do you feel better?" Felicia asked gently.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and said,"Yes, I'm a little better." You…"
Suddenly, Dracula noticed that Felicia was holding her hands up high while massaging her, and her sleeves were sliding down, revealing a portion of her arms. There were obvious wounds on her arms, and red bloodstains were distributed on her fair and tender arms.
Felicia felt Dracula's gaze on her hands. She immediately rolled down her sleeves and hid her hands behind her back guiltily. "Felicia, what's going on?”
Dracula looked at her and desperately needed an answer. "What do you mean what happened? I don't even know what you're talking about."
Felicia hurriedly stood up and stepped back with her hands firmly behind her back. She even forced a smile.
Dracula struggled to stand up and leaned against the wall.""You know what I'm asking. Answer me honestly.”Then he stretched out his hand and continued,"Show me your arm."”
Felicia shook her head and stepped back." How can you show a lady's arm to others?。。。。。”
"Don't change the topic. I want to see your hand.”Dracula walked toward Felicia in exasperation, but because his feet were weak, he fell forward after a few steps.
Felicia immediately rushed forward and stretched out her hands to support Dracula. He leaned weakly into Felicia's arms, but his hands seized the opportunity to grab one of her arms. Felicia broke free from Dracula's grip effortlessly.
"No, no, let me see, please just take a look.”Dracula begged Felicia bitterly. She could not bear to see Dracula's anxious and powerless look, so she reluctantly reached out her hand in front of him.
Dracula rolled up Felicia's sleeve with trembling fingers. He was not mistaken; the bloody marks were indeed there.
He wanted to touch her wound, but he was afraid of hurting her. He gently grabbed Felicia's hand and asked,"Why? How did you get this injury?”
Felicia pretended to be relaxed and said," Ah, this injury. This injury is a small matter. I accidentally got scratched when I was playing with my kitten at home.”
"Do you think I'm a fool? Cough, cough. How could I even differentiate between a claw wound and a whip wound? Huff huff, you, you cough cough, you're infuriating me.”Dracula was so angry that he could not even stand straight. He leaned against Felicia's body and slid down.
"Ah, s-sorry, I won't lie to you anymore. I'll tell you the truth, but you have to let me help you back to lie down first, okay?”Felicia held Dracula tightly and did not let him fall.
Dracula nodded in response, and she helped him back to the wall to lie down.
Felicia looked at Dracula worriedly and said,""You're so cold. Other than the day you had a fever, you're almost always cold. Are you very uncomfortable?”
"Blood Breeds don't have body heat," Dracula said while leaning back."They only feel warm when they drink hot blood.”Then he waved his hand and said,"Ah, you're changing the subject again. You haven't answered me how I got this injury."”
"I-I," Felicia stuttered,"I'm not sure."I-it's like this. I have to prepare fresh blood for you every day, so I killed Aunt's chickens. Today, she realized that a few of them were missing, so she blamed me for not taking good care of them, and that's why they were taken away by wild dogs in the mountains.”
Seeing Felicia casually describe Dracula, he felt guilty and heartbroken. This petite little girl had been whipped by her family for saving him, the big demon in the eyes of the world, but she had endured it silently and even covered up and deceived him in front of him. This seemingly weak girl had a strong inner strength.
Dracula took Felicia's hand and said,""I'm sorry, it's all my fault. You shouldn't have helped a demon like me. I'll only bring you misfortune.”
Dracula could not help but think of Elizabeth and Sonya, the two women he had loved deeply. They had suffered so much and died because of him. It seemed that he was truly a demon. Anyone who was seduced by him would be in trouble.
He kissed Felicia's wound with his lips and said,"You'd better not help me anymore. It will only hurt you." My injuries are almost healed. I'll return to Demon City tomorrow night. I've been out for so many days and haven't told my family. They'll be worried. I really want to go and find them immediately."
"No!" Felicia quickly grabbed Dracula and said,""Before your injuries are completely healed, you are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission.”
" I," Dracula said stubbornly," I'm already fine. I can…"
Felicia rudely interrupted Dracula.""You said that I treated you as a fool, but aren't you treating me as a fool now? Are your injuries healed? If you really recovered, why did you lose your strength after just a few steps? If I didn't support you, you would have fallen to the ground. Look, you don't even have the strength to break free from my hand. How are you going to go back to your castle? I think you will faint before you leave the village. When the sun comes out, you will be roasted. At that time, you won't know anything, but you've caused my hard work these past few days to be in vain. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me? What do you think?"
"I-I-I…" Dracula was rendered speechless by Felicia's interrogation.
"Me, me, me! What about me? You have nothing to say, right? You better listen to me and heal your injuries. Otherwise, I'll tie you up and see if you still dare to cause trouble.”Felicia said with a strong expression.
"You, you... Cough cough…" He didn't expect that an Earl like him would be threatened by a little girl. Sigh, it was really depressing to be bullied by a dog!
"Alright, you don't have to do this anymore. Rest well and I'll bring you fresh blood. At most, I'll try my best to be careful not to let Aunt find out.”Felicia comforted him.
Dracula knew that he couldn't convince this stubborn girl, so he had to settle for the next best thing." Then don't take chicken blood anymore. If you lose a few chickens, you will be discovered very quickly. You can find some large animals such as cows, horses, and sheep. Make a small cut on their abdomen or inner thigh to receive the blood and then apply some medicine. This way, the animals won't be in too much pain and won't be so easily discovered.”
"Ha, so you have such a good idea. Then why didn't you say so earlier? You even wanted me to lie to Aunt and say that it was the wild dog that caused me to be so unlucky.”Felicia complained.
" I'm not a prophet," Dracula said with a bitter smile." If I had known that I would be treated like a wild dog, I would have warned you in advance.”
Felicia hurriedly explained," Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. It was an emergency at that time. I was just talking nonsense." Besides, the method you just taught me is so cunning. It seems that you often do this. You are also considered half a thief. I am not completely accusing you, right?”
Dracula slapped Felicia's forehead and said,""Miss, I am the lord of a city. Everything here is mine. Moreover, I have thousands of servants. Is there a need for me to do such a thing secretly?”
Felicia covered her forehead and said,"Yes, even if what you said makes sense, you can't hit me."。。。。。。”
At this moment, Felicia heard her aunt's voice coming from afar.""Felicia, Felicia, where is this brat slacking off again? If I catch her, I'll definitely teach her a lesson. It seems like the punishment just now was too light.”
Dracula, who was hiding in the cellar, heard what she said. He was fuming with anger. This woman had beaten Felicia to such a state, and it was not enough. It was really unbearable.
He raised his voice.。。。。。Wuwu..."
"Shh." Felicia covered Dracula's mouth and said,""Be quiet. If she finds out, I'll be in trouble again.”
Felicia's actions had completely angered our Earl. He would never be afraid of anyone.
He forcefully pulled off her hand. Just as he was about to speak, Felicia covered her other hand. This time, Dracula was furious. He shook his head vigorously and used all his strength to pry Felicia's hand away.
" You, uh-huh." Dracula opened his mouth and was kissed by a pair of warm and soft lips.
It turned out that Felicia had no choice but to do this in an emergency. She held Dracula's hand tightly with both hands and pressed her lips firmly against his mouth. His entire upper body was lying on Dracula's body. Felicia's faint fragrance lingered around him, and a few locks of hair on her forehead fell on Dracula's face, slippery and itchy.
This sudden action caused Dracula's heart, which had stopped beating long ago, to start beating violently like a human.
This girl actually dared to do such a thing to me, a Vampire Count. She actually kissed me forcefully. This is too bold. And I was taken advantage of by her, but I was powerless to resist. No, it should be said that he didn't want to resist. It could even be said that he enjoyed it. This was the first time I felt my heart beating again since Song Ya left.
Dracula was still immersed in this deep kiss. When Felicia could not hear her aunt's shouts, she immediately raised her head and said to Dracula,"Alright, it's safe now.。。。。Oh…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Dracula's lips were sealed. He slowly sucked Felicia's lips, his sharp teeth gently biting her lower lip, and then he probed his tongue deeper. First, he gently knocked Felicia's tightly clenched teeth, then pried them open with the tip of his tongue. Then, he went straight in and intertwined with Felicia's agile and smooth tongue, dancing back and forth.。。。。。After a long time, Felicia felt that she was about to suffocate. She pushed Dracula away and sat up.
Dracula took a deep breath and said with a sly smile,""You were the one who bullied me first. I just wanted my kiss back.”
Felicia's face flushed red, either from anger or embarrassment."You, you, how can you do this to me? You are simply a demon."
Dracula said proudly,"Ha, what do you mean by 'I'm a demon'? You!"。。。。。”
"Felicia, are you down there?”His aunt's voice interrupted Dracula again. This time, she was even closer, in the stable above them.
"Just in time." Dracula stood up and walked toward the cellar door.
Felicia quickly stood up and ran a few steps forward with her arms wide open in front of him. She shook her head anxiously and replied loudly,"Ah, Aunt Sophie, I'm in the cellar. I just came to get a pumpkin to make a pie for dinner.”
Felicia tried her best to signal to Dracula with her eyes, but Dracula just walked past Felicia expressionlessly. Seeing that he was about to climb up the stairs, Felicia grabbed Dracula's legs in a moment of desperation. Dracula, who was barely able to support himself, lost his balance and fell forward heavily. He happened to bump into a few big pumpkins on the ground.
Dracula first hit his head on the pumpkin and then fell to the ground with a bang. Then, his vision went black, and he fainted again with a big bump on his forehead.
Felicia looked at the unconscious Dracula with her mouth wide open. Her aunt urged her,"It's just a pumpkin. Does it take so long? Are you trying to be lazy? Why did you lock the cellar door?”
"Ah, I'll be right there." Felicia hurriedly took a piece of cloth from the shelf and covered Dracula from head to toe. She then picked up a pumpkin and climbed up the stairs with the lamp.
"What the hell are you doing?" Aunt Sophie looked inside.
"It's nothing. Aunt, let's go cook. Uncle will be back soon.”Felicia quickly climbed out of the cellar, closed the door, and urged Aunt Sophie and Aunt Sophie to leave the stable one after another. Only poor Dracula was left lying with a pile of pumpkins.
