My Vampire System novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Worst case?

During this whole time, Quinn had basically been repeating to the others what the system had told him. Making sure to leave out the parts that weren’t needed. They had a right to know about the vampire stuff, especially since the two of them were closely involved but there was no reason for them to know about the system.

But when the system had said the last line he couldn’t hide the shock of the words that had been spoken and now was thinking how to break the news to Peter.

"Peter... maybe, it’s best if you sat down for this." Quinn said.

"What why?" Peter looked at him, fidgeting. "You’re making me even more scared."

"Just sit down." Quinn said, but as he said these words his eyes started to glow a little. Peter didn’t know why but he felt like he needed to complete the task immediately. After sitting on the bed, Quinn was trying to find the best way to put the bad news into words.

"I can see this is troublesome so let me give you a solution for now." The system said. "As a temporary measure he might be able to last a few days on raw animal meat, but sooner or later you will have to grab him human flesh."

He looked Peter in the eyes and finally found the courage to tell him.

"Being a ghoul means you can no longer eat regular food, you’re going to have to eat raw meat from now on."

"Raw meat, as in uncooked food?" Peter questioned. "Won’t I get sick from it though? They carry so many diseases and the human body isn’t designed to process raw food." As Peter continued to speak his words got faster as he panicked even more. "Maybe you’re wrong, why don’t I just try eating some normal food and see how it goes?"

"For goodness sake Peter listen to yourself!" Vorden shouted. "I know this must be a scary thing but listen. Quinn is just trying to help you here."

Just then, Vorden and Quinn decided to head to the nearby convenience store to grab some things as a test while they asked Peter to stay in the room. Once again although Peter was scared and wanted to come with them, a certain feeling was passing from Quinn and onto Peter making him feel like he had to obey.

’I guess this is what the system was talking about, I can feel a connection between the two of us.’ Quin thought.

As the two of them walked to the convenience store Quinn was keeping awfully quiet, which made Vorden suspicious that Quinn was holding something else back.

"Go on, tell me then." Vorden said. "You could have gone to the shop on your own but you wanted me to come along."

"It’s about Peter...." Quinn said quietly. "I didn’t tell Peter everything, being a ghoul doesn’t mean he has to eat raw meat, he needs to eat raw human meat. Raw animal meat will only work for a short time."

Suddenly Vorden stopped in his tracks.

"Quinn I’m being serious when I suggest this here, but wouldn’t it be better to just kill Peter... and before you say anything hear me out. He already tried taking our lives and we know the reason behind it now. But I’m afraid this will just cause you more problems in the future. He saved your life and you saved his, and if I kept a scoreboard, he still needs to save you one more time to make it even. He’s not the type of guy who can handle this and if he gets caught then don’t think he won’t give you in."

"He won’t, he can’t" Quinn replied.

"How can you be so sure?" Vorden asked, a bit surprised by Quinn’s sudden answer.

It was hard for Quinn to explain, but he could feel the connection between the two of them now. Essentially Peter’s whole existence now depended on him and as long as Quinn asked for it Peter would do it.

"Well I can tell you won’t take my suggestion but let me tell you this then." Vorden said. "Taking a life isn’t as easy as you think."

Although Quinn knew the weight behind Vorden’s words, what Vorden didn’t know was Quinn had already done just that and it was easier than he had expected. Perhaps for a human, it wasn’t so easy but the same couldn’t be said for a vampire like Quinn now, especially those people that deserved it.

The two continued to go to the shop and bought all sorts of packs of meat, Vorden was ready to use his wrist watch but Quinn just straight up paid for it instead.

"When did you become so wealthy?" Vorden asked.
