The Reincarnated Vampire - Part 4

A moment after that, the little blood which the vampire had licked had transformed into a hand that pulled out his tongue.

*splash*

With this, he could no longer speak or spout nonsense since Luke was finally pissed even with his voice.

"Gwahhhhh!"

Although the ability to speak was taken away, he could still shout. His vocal cords were fine so it could be understood that he still had the ability to make noise.

"My... Fa...r..." ( My Father )

"...ill kill ..ou." ( will kill you )

While he failed to speak properly, Luke smiled.

"It's time to bid farewell..."

"No..."

"...ai..." (wait)

"I..."

*splash*

This time, many hands with pointy fingertips tore his body and protruded out. They were formed from the very little amount of Luke's blood which Reiz had swallowed after licking it off the sword.

"Tsk, insects...", right after Luke said this, his arm reattached itself to his body.

While all the vampires who had blood on them were dead, others hid in their homes. But that didn't mean they were safe. Luke wouldn't want them alive since he had identified them as devils.

Also, they played an equally important part in hurting Isabelle. However, he didn't want to dirty his hands anymore.

He carried Isabelle in his arms and took a flight. There were some mountains nearby which were covered with trees - just like those in the human world.

Luke went there and hid for the time being, while trying to rest and help Isabelle recover from her pain.

He then touched her head gently right after which a black smoke appeared from his hand which covered her instantly.

It formed a sphere inside which Isabelle was trapped and after ten minutes or so, the sphere disappeared and so did her injuries.

Although she fell unconscious while she was being carried, her regeneration power had returned. She could recover or even regenerate now, however it would take an awful amount of time, and still then she would be suffering from pain.

Because of that Luke had launched a skill of his due to which she recovered in no time. Her skin, which had become a little dark or purplish because of the wounds and the bruises that were present - all disappeared.

Her skin turned fair and neat and her hair changed color too, yes, it turned white completely.

Luke waited for her to open her eyes and thought that it would be unwise to leave her just like that. However, he still had the main aim in his mind, that is, hiding the blood potion.

While he was thinking of a suitable place to hide, Isabelle opened her eyes. She had already regained her energy and was now as good as new.

She was lying on the ground when she opened her eyes and found nothing but the sky and the trees.

She tried to get up before which she turned her gaze towards her left only to find Luke sitting and wondering something.

Almost immediately she pulled herself up and walked towards Luke, in the end hugging him tightly.

It was not as if Luke was startled or anything because he had already felt her presence coming closer. He just waited to see what she was going to do.

Hugging him, was something that even Luke had not imagined.

"Ah, you are awake...", Luke her hands gently while saying this.

She withdrew herself and said, "Yes..."

"I don't have enough words to thank you..."

"You..."

"You saved my life.", tears ran down her eyes when she said that and thanked him.

Luke's gazes were filled with sympathy and embrace which were quite opposite to the dead eyes which he had shown to others earlier.

He smiled and said, "You deserved to be saved..."

While Isabelle didn't understand what he meant by that, she knew that it had some deep meaning. She could only ponder and not disturb him further.

"But tell me, what happened to you..."

"How did you end up like that?"

"What's your name?"

Isabelle then started to narrate after saying, "I don't have a name since I am but a mere slave."

She was a vampire who had the rank of a slave. Yes, while royalty was considered to be the highest rank, a slave rank was deemed to be the lowest. They had no choice of their own and had to do whatever anyone from the superior rank demanded.

She was orphaned near the Cavalage Site, (the place where lower-ranked vampires live specifically slaves)and was brought up by a kind vampire.

However, the kind vampire which she thought about was nothing more than a slave trader who would only care of raising vampire females only up to a certain age and then trade them off.

The same happened to Isabelle, when she reached the age of 160 years ( 16 years in human terminology ), she was decided to be sold off.

While not only her trust was broken, but she also lost the belief that there were any kind vampires in the world. She always pondered about the cruel vampires that God created. Yes, they believed in God as well.

She had made only a few friends but those friends also came in contact with her because they could get benefits since she was the trader's most favorite girl - after all, she was the most beautiful vampire in their world, of her age at least.

When they saw her being sold, they left her, not one by one though. All of them left her at once clearly saying that they had nothing to do with a slave while they were slaves themselves.

She was auctioned and the one who purchased her was a crazy noble who beat her, tortured her every day. It was the same person who was trying to take her sanity away from her, fortunately enough she escaped only to get caught by Reiz's guards when she, by mistake, bumped into him.

He was not kind at all and wanted to use her for a night.

"I will forgive you if you sleep with me for a night." - was all he said but Isabelle couldn't bring herself to do that.

She scratched his face with her sharpened nails and then. the punishment was lead - an entertainment for others.

"I thought I might die, but thanks to you, I am alive..."

"I am indebted to you, I once again thank you.", this time, she knelt in front of Luke and bowed while thanking him.

"..."

Info: Tongue is an essential part of the human voice mechanism. It contributes about 50% while other parts such as the vocal cord, voice box, diaphragm, etc constitute the rest. Clarity is maintained by the tongue so if a tongue is cut entirely, 30-60% of the clarity is lost from the speech!
