Insatiable Hunger
Aldrich hurriedly stopped the bleeding of the bandit with bandages. He could not allow him to die before guiding them to the nest to get rid of the remaining two Ravenfolk.
The others were checking up on Emma and Aldrich was join them after he finished tying the bandit properly when he was suddenly assaulted with a familiar feeling of hunger.
'Wha?… no'
But before he could stop himself he put his hand on one of the dead bandits and absorbed two red essence orbs.
"No, no, what??" Aldrich was so spooked that he spoke out loud. But the hunger wouldn't go away he unwillingly walked over to the next dead bandit and took the essence.
'No… I don't want this."
Aldrich had lost control of his body he was overcome with the hunger and although there was a part of him that resisted he was just too hungry, he had to get that essence.
But he killed humans before, why didn't this happen back then? Come to think of it, he always spent short amounts of time close to the corpses.
