MVS 169
While Fex was growing up, he had always been told how weak humans were. How they had to rely on the power of others to survive but after seeing Leo, he could tell this wasn’t true, or at least what they used to know about humans, no longer applied.
Before heading up to the stage, Fex looked around the room and spotted Erin, to his surprise she was standing right next to Quinn.
"He didn’t already make her his, did he, But how? My charm didn’t even work against her." Fex said. "Still, it doesn’t seem like she’s been blooded by anyone, maybe I can still use her?"
The group caught Fex looking over in their direction, then next thing they noticed was a cheesy wink with a smile.
Seeing this, they all wondered who the wink was directed at and cringed a little inside.
"That wink wasn’t towards you was it?" Layla asked thinking it was meant for Quinn.
"I guess?" Quinn replied, it had to be at him he thought, he was the only one who knew who Fex was and he was looking right at them.
Although the wink was actually directed at Erin, she had no clue of this either, in fact, she could hardly remember seeing the boy. The only thing that kept happening for some reason was, whenever she looked at him, her face would start to heat up a little as she felt embarrassed.
"Maybe he has a thing for you?" Layla said.
Layla’s words had jolted Erin’s memory, and she remembered where she had seen the boy before, when she was in the library reading a particular book.
"Yeah, that has to be the reason," Erin said nervously. She felt like the wink must have been a sign, perhaps he was planning to use it as blackmail against her. Tell everyone that she read those type of books. If others were to find out, her family even. She would be shamed for having such a dirty mind.
She needed to keep the boy silent no matter what.
Now Fex and Leo were up on stage and even Quinn was a little excited to see the outcome of the match. He had fought with both of them and pretty much lost. Still, he was unable to get either of them to show their full strength.
"Hey, Quinn," Layla whispered. "Is he a vampire as well?"
"How did you know?" Quinn thought. Unless she had a nose like his, Fex looked just like every other human. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Well, you’ve been acting strangely ever since he got in here, and you did tell us someone attacked you last night right. Well, who do you thinks going to win?" She asked.
"I’m not sure. I was just thinking that myself, If it was just hand to hand combat, I felt more useless fighting against Leo. Not only that but, Leo has years of experience. I just can’t see a student beating him."
Layla then went to have a closer look at Fex; he did indeed seem young. The same age as all of them. "Well if it’s like the books I’ve read, vampires can live for a lot longer then humans, some of them are eternal, so maybe he looks young just because he wants to."
"Is that true?" Quinn asked the system.
"Yes, Vampires are able to slow down the ageing process, although there are methods when doing this. A vampire can either go into eternal slumber. It’s a method they use to stop there heart beating and everything inside their body. In a way, it’s a near death-like state. The only way to wake Vampire from eternal slumber is to have them take a drop of blood from the same family. During this period they will not age, and their body will not deteriorate, the second method, well let’s just say the second method isn’t very nice."
Quinn had long learnt if the system didn’t want to elaborate on any details, even if Quinn asked, it would choose to remain quiet. It made him wonder just who was able to create such an advanced AI, to the point where it seemed no different from a human. No technology that he knew of, was able to do that yet.
