Half-human, Half-weak vampire. 

"Get them away from me....." Amelia hissed through gritted teeth.

Hearing her say that, Shen Li nodded immediately. He looked at the crying maids with an annoyed look on his face. These stupid maids were the reason for his sister's loss of control. If it weren't for these two maids, then his Sister Jiang would be fine. Humph! He hated these two maids and wanted them to go as far away from his Sister Jiang, as soon as possible. "Go away!!! Sister Jiang has forgiven you..." he shooed them away.

Both the maids looked at him but didn't listen to his command. Though General Jiang had accepted this begger and accepted him as his own son, he was still a begged in these maid's eyes. They were unwilling to lower themselves and listen to commands from a beggar. Unhearing his words, their eyes begged and cried at Amelia.

Amelia cursed their foolishness in her heart. Her eyes were changing colors as she fought within herself to fight back her thirst. Annoyance, she glared at the maids and yelled, "Go away! If you both dare to stand in front of me anymore, then I will kill you."

It worked! Both the maids jumped back in fear, grabbed their brooms from the ground, and fled for their lives. As soon as they were gone, Amelia sighed in relief and took a breath. Though there was a tingle of bloody smell in the air, but it was okay. As long as it was not in her sight, she could control herself..... barely. Letting go of her stiffened shoulder, she closed her eyes and began to concentrate on other things. Her body began to turn back to normal, with her long nails disappearing and her teeth turning back to normal.

Dammit!!!

Finally, when she opened her eyes, they had turned back to their usual color. Amelia couldn't help but curse herself in her heart. In a very long time, she had almost lost control over her senses. She had almost forgotten this feeling of losing control. The first time she had lost control was when she finally realized that she was different from a normal, human being. After that, she never lost control over herself. She couldn't help curse that stupid witch for putting her in this weird situation. It was all that damn witch's fault.

As a vampire queen, she had never lost control over her own body. Her real body was strong and fresh blood was always supplied to her. She never had to prey upon someone else as her thirst was always satisfied. But, this body was weak and that's why her vampiric instincts were taking over her even at the slightest appearance of blood. This incident made her sure of one thing, that she had to restart her journey of controlling her thirst from the beginning.

This body was a half-human, half-weak vampire.

Amelia didn't want to fall into any kinds of trouble while being in this body. This was a different world and if she got exposed, then she would be taken as a monster and burned alive. So, as a necessity, she needs to find a perfect blood source and strengthen the vampiric part of her body.

"Sister Jiang, are you alright?" Shen Li inquired.

"Hmm...." Amelia nodded. "Thanks for helping me," she said.

Shen Li looked at her with worry. He couldn't help but pull her hand, lower his voice before checking if anybody was looking at them and ask, "Sister Jiang, do you... do you need -"

Amelia understood what he wanted to ask. At the same time, she also could sense those hidden people surrounding the mansion in the dark. Most of them belonged to her father while there were a few of them, she didn't recognize. And, these unrecognized people were the ones who were watching her moves carefully. She could feel their eyes on her and this was bothering her. Hence, before Shen Li could ask anything, she stopped him.

"Yes," she replied to his unfinished question.

A strange look flashed through Shen Li's eyes as he recalled the incident where she drank his blood. It was a strange feeling, a weird sensation which he couldn't describe but since she needed blood, he decided to give her his blood. At least, he could do this small thing for her to repay what she had done for him. "Sister Jiang, let's go back...." he said and pulled her hand. "I-i.. can.... give you -"

"No," Amelia rejected him.

Shen Li frowned and his eyes started to water. "Why? Sister Jiang, do you not need me anymore? Do you dislike me?"

Seeing his watery eyes and crying face, Amelia frowned. "Little guy, why are you crying? When did I say that I hate you?"

Shen Li pouted and played with his fingers. A blush crept upon his cheeks as he kept his head down and whispered, "Then why don't you-"

"That's because you are my little brother," Amelia chuckled and flicked his forehead with her slender finger. "Also, there is no need for you to repay me. I did not bring you here for that purpose. You simply need to be spoiled by me, listen to me, and enjoy all the benefits of being my brother. Understood?"

Shen Li nodded his head slowly but his eyes still looked puzzled.

Upon seeing his cute look, Amelia couldn't resist herself from pulling his cheeks. At the same time, a mischievous look flashed through her eyes as she began to tease him. "Also, Little Li, before suggesting me to drink from you, have a good look at yourself," she said.

Shen Li frowned, not understanding her meaning but he could see that despising look in her eyes. Narrowing her eyes, he took a good look at himself but still, he was clueless about her words. "Sister Jiang, what do you mean? Do I look ugly?" he asked with a sigh. Is that the reason why she did not want to drink his blood?

Amelia smirked. "Stupid," she flicked his forehead again. "You are too thin. What would I get from you anyway?" she laughed and turned to leave, leaving him standing stunned in his place.

Shen Li: ".............."
