Chapter 13

I stood up as I held my dislocated arm, looking at the seven bandits that stood above up with evil smiles on their faces. In this situation all I can think about is how to get Mary out of this. Afterall, she's still an ordinary human. 

" You came sooner than I expected.. Much sooner " said the leader with the large sword. He was red haired and had a scar against his mouth. 

" What the hell do you bastards want? " I ask angrily 

" We want you? " He responded 

" Huh ?"

" Someone wanted you dead but we have other plans for you... Our plan was to kidnapping your friend and using her has bait to lure you out "

" You swine and what do you want with me? " I ask. 

" It's simple.. You're worth a lot of money ...you've messed with someone you should have and they want you dead.. However we have other plans.. You see we're going to tread you nicely and sell you off as a slave ....with your pretty face guys would kill to have someone as pretty as you, you worth  thousands of gold coins " The leader explained. 

" Kehehehe, She's a pretty one boss " said a bandit licking his blade. wait, those eyes, it's just like the one that's been eyeing me for weeks now, It has to be him. 

Seriously, who did I mess with ? the only person I know every since coming to this world is Mary, 

Wait, maybe it's that merchant guy in town a few weeks back ? But still, someone like him would have taken their revenge on me a long time ago but why now.

" Come quickly with us and we'll let your friend go "

Huh 

" I think not "

I ran up to him and kicked his blade and sent him flying. Then I went for the ones who had been eyeing me and kicked him in the gut.  A guy shot an arrow at me and I use wind magic blow him away but suddenly another arrow was fired at Mary. 

" Oh crap ! " I quickly dashed off to defend her and took the arrow in my back. 

" Gyaaaaaahhhhhh ! " I screamed in pain as two more arrows were fired into my back. 

" You idiot ? Are you going to damage the merchandise ? " Ask the leader shouting at the Archer. 

" Sorry boss, She just ran in my line of fire " 

" Well it doesn't matter we'll heal her nicely later "

Damn this hurts like hell ! Enduring the intense pain I pulled the arrow out of my back. I never felt such pain before as a former human or even as a vampire. 

" Rosey... Rosey " Mary called out as she ran to my side checking my condition. 

" I'm fine Mary, no need to worry about me "

" Capture them, " The leader shouted. Hearing that I stop back in my feet to defend Mary. 

" I... Won't... Let you near.. Her " I said as I hold my dislocated arm, My legs was getting numb, I could barely feel my arms, my eyes was getting blurry and my head was pounding 

" Listen Rosey, drink my blood "

" No I won't "

" If you don't you'll die " Mary shouted. 

" I know you're afraid but listen to me.. You're my only friend and I want to help you.. You told me you became a vampire because you wanted to live... Then live Roselina live "

Her words ring through my head. How could I forget the reason I became a vampire? If I have to give up the little bit of humanity I have left then so be it.. I'll live as a vampire from now on.

I smile as I look at Mary.

" Your are really pestering to talk to "

" And you're too stubborn to listen to " She replied. 

I created a fire wall around Mary and I. That should buy me enough time to do what I'm supposed to do. 

" Get rid of those flames! " They shout.

I stand behind Mary. 

" Here goes "

" I'm ready "

I jammed my fangs into Mary's next and drank her blood. The flames were extinguished as the bandits saw us. 

" She... She's a Vampire!? " shouts one of the bandits.

They cower in fear and take a step back.

Mary squirmed as I drank her blood. It's so sweet and creamy yet plain. It tastes like vanilla ice cream. It's so addicting. I don't want to stop drinking, 

I want more, I need more, so much blood! 

BUDUMP 

An irregular heartbeat occurred and suddenly everything went blank. 

.....

Suddenly an enormous amount of crimson energy surge. It was so intense that nobody could even move. Roselina opens her eyes revealing glowing scarlett eyes with vertically split pupil. 

" What.. Kind of power is this ?"  the Leader asks.

Mary looked up at her friend with awe as Roselina floated in the air. Suddenly her aura turned into a crimson cocoon that swallowed Roselina. The stem of the pod grew and then the vines and inside the cocoon was filled with liquid, only the outline of roselina's body was seen from the outside 

Suddenly, the thorny veins grow rapidly and mercilessly skewer all the bandits except for their leader. The vines didn't stop there, it went through the forest devouring all forms of life within a 300 meter radius. 

In the air and underground, Nothing with blood was spared. The crimson vines started to absorb the blood that channels back to the cocoon that slowly starts to mature.

The moon in the sky was red, as if dyed with blood 

Soon after it burst open, the hot steaming liquid poured out and Roselina was in a new form. That form makes her look like a Demon Queen. 

Her body grew into a full adult and has a voluptuous body.Two wings unfold from her back, they were dark crimson angel wings and two red crooked horns grew from her head, Roselina's lip was red and her fingers were long and red.

Her hair was shorter due to the height of her body and her eyes was completely red, Roselina adorning her body was a red dress that exposed most of her breast and high heel boots 

Mary was speechless, she couldn't believe that this person was her friend. She silently watched as the person before her flapped her large blood colored wings as crimson feathers flutter in the air 

" Roselina is that? " Mary asked but Roselina ignored her and walked up to the leader of the bandits. He fall to his knees begging her not to kill him 

" Please, don't hurt me, I beg you 

But begging was futile. Roselina decapitated him with a blood sword with a red blade and at the same time the blood from his corpse was absorbed into her body and nourished her body. 

" Roselina ? ....ehhhh!  "

Mary was frightened and speechless then her body was suddenly enveloped in a crimson aura. She floats towards Roselina.  Roselina looked at Mary with an emotionless expression but her eyes filled with killing intent.
