Chapter 7: His history

It's not an impossible job to clean up the mess that Enzo had created for him. But what's even worse is that the person whose blood was sucked by Enzo, shouldn't die.

It's normal for Vampires to kill a person while drinking their blood, it's very normal. However, in Enzo's case, it's something that is stated as forbidden and never to be done again.

Enzo was the only vampire in the whole empire who resisted human blood. He made an oath that he would never drink human blood, and if he was to break the oath, his soul would be shattered by the thousand thunderstorms and never be reincarnated again.

It wasn't just an oath that he made recklessly, but had given a lot of thought to, and only after confirming it a thousand times, he had come to take it.

He made that oath a thousand years ago when he was newly turned into a vampire. His control over this blood thirst never betrayed him. In that life of a thousand years old, he never killed any innocent or any human or sucked their blood.

He was almost like a human who was living an ordinary life in disguise in the human world. Whenever he was hungry, he would go after animals and drink their blood but never abused the humans.

Fifty years ago, An incident occurred. Some people found out the real identity of Enzo and that he was actually a vampire and that too a thousand-year-old. It stirred a blunder among the secret cult who prayed to the Devil and Satan. This news was like an elixir to them. After all, who can resist the urge to become a vampire who was the strong beast in human society?

They trapped him and injected a weird liquid into his body. This made Enzo uncontrolled and insane. He became someone who everyone feared and lost his insanity for a short while.

In that short while, he broke the oath that was taken by him a thousand years ago...

And now...he was paying for it. He was dying and forbidden to kill a human.

Lucas knows everything all along, he knows how painful everything is for Enzo...a dying vampire.

Right now, he was in a private hospital. This hospital was built two hundred years ago for the betterment of the people in this area. Everyone knows the owner of this hospital is a young man in his thirties who's the grandchild of the previous owner.

What they don't know is...who is the real owner?

" Can he be saved? tell me he is alright because I am not feeling well...", Lucas asked while looking at the patient on the hospital bed.

He was anxious about the life of that human while most worried about Enzo.

" Relax, He is fine now, out of danger. Another thing...after this IV drip finishes, throw him out of my place. I do not wish to see a sickly dying human in my sacred place. Understand? ".

The man who spoke had red shiny hair along with bright red eyes suited to his Oval-shaped face. He looked cold, the perfect character suited to his features.

" Agnes! How can you be so cold-hearted to your blossom friend who has helped you a lot? Have you forgotten the times when I brought patients into your hospital...".

Lucas spoke in a spoiled tone. It's been more than two hundred years since they knew each other and had been this way. Been two hundred years and Agnes still treats him coldly, as if...the ice in his heart was still hard, and not a single inch had melted.

" You are so ungrateful ", Lucas couldn't help but feel like he has wasted his resources on this ungrateful fella.

Just at this moment, Agnes picked up the scalpel from the tray placed in front of him on the table and threw it toward Lucas.

It's been a long time since he was listening to Lucas blabbering and couldn't hear it anymore, he was way more nagging and Agnes was a person who likes silence.

Good thing for Lucas as he avoided the shot and caught the scalpel with his bare hand. Blood started gushing out as he made the first the moment he caught the scalpel.

And Agnes felt no mercy or upset over it. He was still calm even though Lucas was bleeding and the red blood drops were staining his fine white clean floor. This sight was an eyesore...

" Agnes! Can you not throw these sharp objects toward me? It's not the first time you have behaved like this...why do you like throwing things? ", Lucas asked in a calm tone as he pulled out the scalpel from the wound and placed it on the table beside him.

It's not the first time Agnes has gotten angry or had to throw something to show his anger. It has always been like this. Whenever Lucas crosses his line, Agnes has to show him to stay within his boundary and not cross it.

" If I remember correctly, you didn't help me at all. The patient you brought to me, wasn't that your doing? ", Agnes spoke in a cold and ruthless tone while cleaning his utensils and not giving him any mind but had so much hostility.

" M...my? Are you serious? It wasn't my fault at that time. I was just passing through that alley and they accidentally looked into my eyes and started fighting like dogs and cats...it was out of my control. Don't blame me ", Seems like Lucas was offended.

It was a chilly night and the moon was hanging high in the sky, reminding them of who they are even if they are living in the human realm.

Lucas was the one with low resistance and sometimes would lose control over his body. Since the moon was out, his vampire traits started to appear as well. His sharp fangs grew in a moment while his eyes turned bloodthirsty. His nose became sensitive to blood stench.

His nose started tingling and searching for the blood. He immediately turned towards the man who was brought by him to the hospital. He was now hungry for this sickly human.

Agnes was pretty good at observing his surroundings, so when the change appeared in him, Agnes immediately saw it.

" Lucas, are you okay? ".

" Yeah! What can happen to me? There's something special about this human, he smells delicious. I wanna try his blood, he can satisfy me ", His voice and the style of speaking change in a brink of a moment.

Right now, there was control of a strong vampire over him and he could only see or hear what that voice was telling him.

He was intrigued by the blood smell which was leaking from the human.

" Lucas! Control yourself. You can't touch him...step back ".

" Why can't I touch him? ", Lucas immediately turned his head towards Agnes and asked him cautiously with that sky smile on his face which was already telling Agnes that Lucas doesn't believe what he was telling him.

" He looks delicious. I was really an idiot to not recognise this special blood taste in his body...".

Lucas was already taken by his strong personality, he could see nothing except his hunger for blood. Lucky for him, the prey was already settled for him on the bed.

Lucas started coming close to the human while he was getting impatient. At that moment, Enzo stepped into the room...

He looked around and saw Lucas acting weird. And he knew what was going on...

" What did you do this time, Agnes? ", Enzo asked in a not-so-surprised tone and walked close to him.

" Nothing much. He was crossing foundries, I just made him realise where he stands. By the way, how come you got tempted by this human? it's so unlikely of you ".

It's hard for Enzo to lose control over himself. And it has never been the case when Enzo had attacked the human being for its blood. It was a rare situation but...why did it occur?

" I will explain later. First, let's settle this guy...looks like he is still unable to control his thirst ".

On his order, Agnes got close to Lucas from behind and hit him hard on the neck. Lucas lost his consciousness after getting hit by Agnes.

After he fell to the ground, Agnes carried him and laid him on the bed. In real-time, after confirming that the human Lucas brought was totally fine now, he threw him out of the hospital...

When he returned, Enzo was staring at the blood bag which was in his hand. Or...he was spacing out. There was turmoil in his heart and many questions which had no answer.

Agnes took a seat beside him and said nothing.

After a moment, Enzo returned to reality and saw Agnes staring at him, it was unlikely.

" So....are you ready now? I have never seen you lose control over yourself before. When I heard Lucas say that you are the one who sucked his blood, I couldn't believe it. I thought he was just joking and tossing the blame on you. What happened? And how? ".
