In His Room (III)

When Juliet came back with a bowl she was surprised to see Peter sitting on the floor. "Why are you like this?" She asked. "You really don't want to see this, I don't know if you will be able to take it?" Peter answered. What he was about to do might look scary to her and didn't want to create any fear in her. "What do you mean 'i won't want to see it'. It is my decision, no matter what I will stay here with you until I am sure you are okay." She doesn't like it whenever Peter tried to convince her to leave. Since she was being stubborn, she will only blame herself for whatever he sees. "No matter what you see, just have it in mind that I'm a human like you, it just that I have experienced some changes after I was born." Juliet was curious about what she was about to witness, she didn't know why Peter kept telling her she should leave. She was aware of the saying that curiousity kills the cat, she would like to see what was about to happen. Since she had decided to be present, he no longer convince her. Sooner or later, she would have to know more about him, so it wasn't bad if she starts to know him from there. Because of the injury his heart suffered during an explosion, a small part of his heart got cut off by the force. From time to time he would have to do a clean up, because after some time black blood do stored there, not from his heart, especially whenever he forced out or over used his mysterious energy. After the explosion, the wound on his chest refused to heal because of his injured heart. He even had it stitched but it didn't close up, blood would gush out from time to time not until he stumbled on an old man who gave him a black-red lotus which was more hotter than any fire he could think about. The old man also told him that for him to heal his injured soul, he would have to head on a journey of no return. Ever since then, he never saw the man, he kept having the feeling that the old man was his grandfather.

Peter sat down and opened his two leg wide, he placed the bowl in between his legs before bending his back a little bit. Peter could make his body as hard as steel or as soft as a loaf of bread. Peter drilled one of his fingers into his chest easily and remove it immediately after it went in. Black blood was seen flowing slowly out of his chest into the bowl. At first, Juliet thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, because she could not believe her eyes. She find it hard to believe that a finger could be drilled into ones skin.

"How did you do that?" She finally asked after some hesitation. Although she found it horrific to look at the flowing blood, she kept staring at it like everything was a dream. "I told you already, it's not like I'm different from you. What brought about the difference is the change I went through after I was born. After birth, my grandfather had been the one taking care of me. He made me stay inside different water soaked with different herbs from morning to night, everything I ate even the water I drink contained herbs." Peter explained, he was no longer bending his back, he sat down straight and used his mysterious enegry to control the blood in to the bowl. To Juliet, it was as if someone was getting water from a tank which no longer have much water inside, resulting to the slow flow of the water. "Till when will this go on?" She asked.

"I will stop the moment fresh blood flow out. I can easily seal up the small hole and it would appear like a hole was never there." Seeing how stunned Juliet was, he continued. "Don't be surprised, there is nothing majestic in there, if you look out you will surely find people who are more powerful than I do. Everytime I'm doing this I will enter a powerless phase, and some days after. I would have to give myself a lot of rest before I can recover my strength."

Everything looked amazing to Juliet, she was aware of the fact that there were people who were powerful enough to move mountains with the tip of their finger, she never thought she would be very close to one and the person was even younger than her. Her believe was that people who were powerful would be of a very old age. When fresh blood flew out, for now he didn't have the ability to heal the hole in his chest he could only stop the blood from flowing out. When the blood stopped flowing out, Juliet looked away from it, she could not bare to look at it the second time, it was as if she saw Peter's bone when the blood stopped flowing. "What will you do with the blood?"

"I still have use for it, it would be dangerous if an animal or insect that feed on blood have a taste of it." There were some aimless spiritual energy in the blood that Peter extracted from his body, if any animal should feed on it, such animal would have some insane power that would make it stronger than anything people ever experienced. He would have to use the energy in his body to take in those aimless spiritual energy. But he can't do that then because the mysterious energy in his body was at it weakest state. That was because he had exhausted himself when dealing with those armed robbers.

After he removed the black blood, his body became more lighter than before, he kept the extracted blood in somewhere save. Before he could relaxed, a call came through, Juliet was surprised that someone called him not long after he got the phone, because of her curiosity to know who the person was, she helped him to get the phone from the table, she didn't forget to check the name of the person calling before passing the phone to him. But she was disappointed because the person's number wasn't save on the phone. Peter knew that only two individuals could reach him through his number, Rose and the deputy director who he didn't know her name, it was then that he remembered that he had not give Anna a call. He checked if hoping he had not misplaced the card she gave him When he collected the phone from Juliet, seeing the strange number, he guessed that it could only be the deputy director because he had already saved Rose number. Juliet was there staring at him as if she was about to catch a cheating husband.
