Chapter 19: You are a vampire
Zane stared at the message. It was clear as day what it meant, but yet it was shocking to him. He looked at the young man, this might be an opportunity to test it. It came at this time, so it had to be a sign, right?
"Fine, I’ll keep you alive, but there is something, you’ll never be human again," Zane said and flashed his fangs. The boy saw the teeth grow from his mouth and was immediately stunned.
"What... what are you?" he asked.
Zane looked at him, a smile on his face. "Have you ever heard of vampires?" he asked.
"... Yes, but they are stories of the past. They do not exist, and if they did, they don’t any—" the man was speaking when he realized that Zane was trying to tell him he was a vampire.
Zane watched the realization form on his face, and he expected a reaction like the boy running, because vampires were cursed and evil, but to his surprise, the boy stood, head straight.
"So you’re saying you’ll turn me into a vampire?" he spoke.
"Yes, that’s what I’m saying," Zane said, a little surprised at how well the dude was taking it.
"I have no reason to refuse, but I want you to promise me two things, and my life is yours. One, that I’ll see my family one day, and the second, that I’ll gain the strength to finally stand against anyone that comes for me," he spoke.
’He wants me to promise that? I can make him see his family one day, but can I make him stronger? Well, he is a vampire. Our strength doesn’t work the same as humans from what I’ve seen, so I’ll agree to it. I’ll make him stronger.’
