My Vampire System novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543 Final goodbye, Vorden

In one of the sleeping rooms, Paul was sitting down on his bed, with his head down towards the floor. Sitting opposite him, was Fex.

’Since when the hell did I become a counsellor?’ Fex thought.

It took a while for Paul to calm down, but after that there seemed to be another phase, shock. There were more reasons than one for this, and with Quinn off doing his own thing somewhere, the only person that could talk to him about going through such an experience, was Fex.

There was Peter as well, but he wasn’t the best choice when talking to people.

Paul’s hands were still shaking, he had never felt this feeling before. Leo had mentioned a few things to prepare him, but the real thing was different. He felt out of control, his body and mind were doing their own thing, yet he was still present and aware of what he was doing.

"Don’t worry." Fex said, "It doesn’t just happen to humans who have turned into vampires. It happens to all of us. The more you are exposed to it, the easier it is to control. Just be careful not to become addicted. If you want, I can help you through the process."

"Whenever you are hungry or such, I’ll control the amount to give you. Otherwise, first-timers will just keep going until they’re full. Anyway, you have strong vampires by your side, if you go out of control, me and Quinn can stop you."

Paul wasn’t worried too much about getting addicted. He had done many things in the past that required a huge amount of dedication and self-control. It was why he felt so strange being so out of control. It was a first for him.

Upon hearing the name Quinn, Paul lifted his head and gave a little huff.

"Quinn? I don’t think he can help." Paul said, now getting up from his seat and walking around the room. He eventually stopped, and seemingly out of nowhere punched the wall. A loud clang was heard, but the walls were solid, and only a small indentation mark could be seen.

"Isn’t he supposed to be the leader of this group?! Why can’t he control that girl? Why did those men have to die?" Paul asked.

"The situation is a little complicated," Fex replied. "She’s not from our group, so she doesn’t really listen."

"That’s just an excuse!" Paul snapped. "If he’s the one in charge, then he needs to make sure she doesn’t fall out of line. I know he didn’t order this, he’s not like that, but it’s also his responsibility to make sure things like this don’t happen."

"I don’t understand why all of you are so trusting of him? When all I can see is him being inadequate."

Fex paused for a while before replying and then finally gave his answer.

"But he managed to save you and your men, right? Maybe Quinn doesn’t make the best of decisions sometimes or is too slow to act, but when it truly matters, he does shine through. He saved my life, you know?

"You saw all those scary-looking old dudes in the council room right. He went up against every single one of them just to save me. Being a good leader is not all about good decision making. The people around him can help him with that."

"Rather, it’s about picking the right people, gaining their trust. Just like Quinn would do anything for us, I’m sure we would do anything for him as well. For me, that’s a good leader."

*****

After consuming a few droplets of blood Quinn had gained one point in the strength stat, bringing his strength up to [49] without holding any weapons. It was getting harder to gain stats through different people’s blood.

However, it was still the quickest way for him to get stronger, as leveling now required a huge amount of experience. The only problem was when he would hit his cap on stats.

The reason Quinn wasn;t around was because he had gone out to the field to search the ruined city.

He had found remnants of where the army had set up a temporary base, but it had completely been destroyed and Quinn couldn’t find the bodies anywhere. Whatever Kazz did, she did a good job of hiding it.

Quinn was only able to find it through the few specks of blood that were dried up on the ground which his system had picked up for him.

When he finally returned, it looked like everyone was now ready to set off and so that’s what they did.

The first goal was to hide the large spaceship. They went to a mountainous area that was supposedly not too far from the closest earth station. It was a great spot as they were surrounded by large mountains that people wouldn’t climb up and it was away from any signs of life.

The only way one would see it, was if they were flying in a ship of their own. This was only meant to be a temporary stop for them anyway before moving out into space.

Peter was left there on his own, and the group said their goodbyes before heading off. The one who had spent the largest amount of time saying goodbye was Logan. He had been busy giving him pop quizzes on what each of the buttons did on the autopilot system, as well as on the ship’s controller.

Same as before, Peter was brilliant at memorizing the information. "Peter, we will be back to create more things together. Stay alive." Logan said before they headed off to the storage room.
