CHAPTER 8: RICK'S FIRST FEED

"So!, the Chosen One huh?" Alex said to Rick sarcastically while they were walking out of where Skull left them, they were in an empty passage,

"Yeah, have you got a problem with that?" Rick asked,

"no man, I was just wondering how it's possible for you to be the Chosen One and no one not even you knew about it till now" Alex said as they entered a large room, it had a large table in the middle with chairs surrounding it, just like the other rooms everything in there was black, they all then sat on a chair each.

"Look man I never asked for any of this, and you're actually right though, it's kind of strange how I didn't even know I had all this power in me for seventeen years now, it's out of the ordinary, but since I now know that I'm the Chosen One, I'm gonna do my best to make sure I save the world" Rick said.

"Oh wow, we now have a James Bond here don't we, hahaha" Alex said mockingly while laughing out loud.

"Shut up Alex" Megan then said hitting him lightly on the shoulder, Alex immediately then stopped laughing.

"I'm so sorry about that Rick, he can be a moron sometimes" she completed,

"no it's okay, I get a lot of that" Rick replied with his head down facing the table as if he was ashamed,

"by the way where are our manners, I'm Megan, he's Alex as you already know, this is Abiola and the weird looking guy over there is Walt" she finally said,

"Oh that's great, nice to meet you all" Rick then said putting on a little smile on his face,

"nice to meet you too man" Walt replied as the rest of them except Alex smiled back at him.

"Okay okay, enough of the pep talk now, so what do you know how to do so far Chosen One?" Alex asked,

"Uh well, all I know I can do is run superfast and I also kind of have super strength too I think" Rick said in a tone which made it seem like he was unsure of what he was saying.

"Those are just the normal stuff man, any Vampire can do that" Walt said,

"and every werewolf has super strength" Abiola followed,

"Can't you like compel others or even transform to a wolf during the full moon?" Megan curiosly asked,

"I can't, I only found out about this power yesterday actually" Rick answered.

"Oh, but since you're a hybrid that means you can walk in the sun then" she asked again,

"probably, but I've been meaning to ask, how do you Vampires walk in the sun without it Harming you, or is the sun being a weakness to vampires all just a myth?" Rick asked,

"nope, we can't walk in the sun except for day-lighters, the rest of us the normal Vampires we use jewelries for protection, witches cast protection spells on them and that enables us to walk in the sun" Walt replied him.

"So by jewelries you mean any kind of jewelry?" Rick asked curiously,

"yes, rings, bracelets, necklaces, but rings most especially are the ones usually used" Walt replied again,

"Oh wow" Rick said.

"All right new guy, it's time for training, why don't you join us so we can see what you've got" Alex said,

"sure why not, in the current state I'm in I think I really need it" Rick replied,

"sure" Alex said as he giggled a bit,

"have you fed yet?" he then asked,

"nope, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday" Rick said,

"I'm not talking about food you idiot" Alex said quickly,

"huh!, then what were you referring to?" Rick asked perplexingly.

"Blood man, I was talking about blood" Alex said,

"eew" Rick said,

"what do you mean by eew, aren't you a vampire?" Walt asked shocked by Rick's surprising reaction,

"yes, but I only found out yesterday, and by the way I'm also a werewolf at the same time too, don't forget that" Rick replied,

"so you mean all this while you've really had no idea you were an Underworld creature and you've never fed on blood either?" Walt asked,

"yes yes for 17 years" Rick said,

"Wow, how is that even possible, you really are the chosen one" Walt then finished.

"Okay new guy, I don't care whether you've fed before or not, but you're going to feed today, those cravings are going to kick in sooner or later anyways" Alex said,

"and what if I don't want to?" Rick asked,

"you have to" Alex replied him,

"can you please clarify to me why it's compulsory all of a sudden?" Rick asked again.

"Well I mean we're going for training and we don't know the nature of the kind of injuries you're going to get from there, vampires get more hungry when they're worn out, so it's better for you to feed now so that even when that does happen it doesn't have much of an effect on you" Alex said,

"fine fine, but don't tell me I'm going to still take that stuff after the training" Rick said,

"that'll depend on how much energy you waste during the practice" Alex said while he was walking towards a freezer close to the edge of the wall,

"Oh, it's going to be tough then" Rick said, while he waited for Alex to come back with the blood.

"Here you go" Alex said as he threw a bag of blood at Rick, all of them watched him as he sniffed the bag, Megan and Abiola found it funny especially since he also squeezed his face as if the blood was bigger or something but he hadn't yet even tasted it.

"Rick then slowly put it in his mouth and slowly took a sip, he even closed his eyes while doing so, but he then quickly opened them again immediately after he had taken the sip,

"it's..., it actually tastes nice" he then said,

"see it's not so bad is it" Walt said to him,

"no it surprisingly isn't, is it like this also for normal humans?" Rick curiosly asked,

"no off course not, it's only because you're a vampire, that's why it tastes that nice, now hurry up we don't have all day to waste" Alex said,

"sure" Rick then replied as he quickly rushed and gulped the whole blood in the bag, he then used his hand to clean the ones which stained his mouth,

"alright let's go" Rick said as he then stood up from his chair,

"good, now follow me" Alex said as he then walked out of the room and all of them followed behind him.
