Chapter 38: But Why?
Draven shook his head.
"No. It did halt at a slower speed, but not completely."
"Is that not evidence enough?" Valentine queried. "If she was not the problem, you would have healed, and the alcohol would have stopped the bleeding as well. In other words, I am trying to tell you that she is a weapon that can kill you."
Draven frowned. "There are many ways that I can die, Valentine."
"There are many ways that we can all die, big brother. However, I called her a weapon that can kill you because, with her..." Valentine paused to review his words. "Weak vampires can possibly kill you."
"Let’s say a vampire gets a hold of you, hurts you badly, and traps you with her, what do you think will happen?" he asked. "One, you will lose a lot of blood, which will lead to your body getting weak. Don’t forget that our sole livelihood depends on blood. Think about losing a good amount of it!"
Draven pinched between his brows as he exhaled a deep breath. "Valentine, out of a million possibilities, there is probably one chance that that will happen. No, it’s not going to happen!"
"Anything can happen, brother. Don’t underestimate the possibilities of rare scenarios you wouldn’t even think of, occurring," Valentine said nonchalantly. "Although, there is something that I have been wondering about for a while now."
"What?" Draven stared at him.
Valentine smiled and shifted closer. Then he leaned in with curiosity in his eyes.
"I know that our father has attempted to kill you countless times, but for some unknown reason, you have luckily always survived." He looked intently into Draven’s eyes.
