Chapter 58: Breakdown
Elys was terribly petrified. The boy she had tried to save from the vampires had actually already been injured after all. But how could a vampire bite cause such pain for a child?
Could those vampires that chased her be some other kind who were more dangerous, untamed, and uncivilized than the ones she had come to know of?
"What kind of vampire could do this?" she gasped as she pored over the bite marks.
The child sucked in a huge amount of air, to which surprised Elys and made her break. His eyes rolled back into his head, and his body shook like an epileptic attack before he finally returned to normal.
Elys watched in horror as the little boy looked at her with bloodshot eyes full of pain. His half-opened mouth moved, and Elys strained to hear the words he said.
She leaned over to listen more, the screeches of the birds above them making it a whole lot difficult for her to understand the boy. Once her ear was close enough, she was finally able to recognize every single word he said.
"Sister... why do you keep your powers hidden when you could use it however you want? Save whoever you want..." the child suddenly asked.
The question he asked her caused the hairs on her skin to stand on its ends.
How did he even come to the conclusion she had powers?
