She smiled, “I wouldn't dare do that my prince you're too gifted to be messed with”, she coughed to hide the laughter bubbling in her throat, "you might cause me to force food on myself."
Meemee winked at me, "I would like to have that skill, Ima knows need such skills. I'm as skinny as a pole, and the skill might make me eat more, so I can gain the desired weight”, she touched her perfect bony skin.
I never knew a bony skin will be that perfect until I met her.
They were almost through with their breakfast, but Reddy haven't touched a single thing on his tray.
“Food not go your liking, vampire boy? Missed blood that much?” I smirked.
Reddy growled at my words, " you're trying to pull my legs aren't you?"
A gasp passed through our table, they focused on us with their eyes widened beyond what I thought possible.
I frown at them.
Why are they looking at us as if waiting for a movie to start?
Reddy stormed out of the dining hall after giving me a long deadly glare.
The moment he left, they relaxed, each exhaling in relief.
“What was that?
Why were you all looking on like you were expecting a fight from us?”
, they all looked guilty, Blondie including.
This academy is secretive, I don't know how it will be, with me always the odd leg out.
l know nothing of the other species, talk more of knowing.
“Reddy drinks blood, right?”
I wasn't wrong in the second wrong in my earlier speculation, they gasped the moment I mentioned vampires and blood.
Looking around, Meemee leaned closer, “it's not a widely known fact, but he doesn't drink blood, have never tasted it before”, she confided.
My eyes grew wide in surprise, how is it possible for a vampire not to drink blood?
It's universal knowledge that vampires feed on blood, while werewolves sometimes feed on rare meat.
“Why is that?” you can't keep a person as curious as me from asking, “doesn't he like the taste of it?”
She shook her head, “I don't know the reasons behind it, all I know is he hasn't tasted blood since he was born. Rumours had it that the last blood he tasted in his last life is his half soul's blood and drinking from another vein that isn't his half soul's own is like poison to his system”, she shrugged," like I said it's a rumour, no one knows the real truth behind that”, she concentrated on her food.
I felt bad for him.
A vampire not feeding on blood is like a human deprived of energy giving food.
They rely on the energy gotten from blood, that's why they prefer drinking it directly than from a blood bag.
Blondie nudged me, "don't you go feeling sorry for that sucker, goddess knows he doesn't feel for himself”, he smiled, “besides feeling sorry for him wouldn't solve his problems, all you have to do is keep your nose and mouth to yourself”, he winked.
