Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart 321

Welcome to a new part of Vampire Heart unedited. Have you been bitten yet? Sign up to be part of our awesome Vampire Friday blog hop team! You know you want to!

Summary of the previous episodes: Viorel has been tortured by his supposed family who wanted to have him burn in the sun. Strangely enough the sun didn't burn him as expected but Viorel has no memory of who he is. Following the advises of his supposed father, he left Sighișoara and is now traveling to the West. After some skirmish in a previous city, he found refuge on a boat. Viorel is now in Vienna. The little problem is that the guy at the inn was a bit of an asshole and helped capture Viorel thinking he was a vampire, which he is but nobody needs to know. Now there is a huge man (which I call the colossi) taking care of Viorel and a priest. They brought a girl. Torture my holy water... Fail. Viorel managed to confuse everyone, now he would like to get out of here. But the girl seems pretty useless. They still managed to escape and he left the girl to the care of the boat lady before going back to have two words with his captors but his power of persuasion were failing him. The priest wanted to crack a deal but Viorel is not really up to help his enemies. He finally got some blood but he can't risk to stay in Vienna. He travel to Linz were he stays a bit to learn German.

Viorel wanted to go to Praha but redirect himself toward Augsburg instead where he wants to get a horse, except that the horses are a bit scared of his vampirism and maybe something else. Viorel is really not a horse expert. Then he comes into an altercation with couple of people, he wants some fear in his blood. The girl Viorel has found seemed to enjoy the game. Viorel prepares for the nightmares that come with a feast of blood, in a rush to leave, he cross the dukedom of Lorrain.
We introduced Sorina, three weeks after the beginning of Viorel's escape.
Viorel dreamed of Sorina and woke up not really remembering anything. Traveling to Paris, he arrives at "La cour des miracles". He is rescued by a stranger who turned out to be Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist he was looking for. Nicolas does some strange experiment without Viorel's agreement. Some people are looking for Nicolas's secrets. On the other side of Europe, Sorina awakes and Viorel's past in haunting him. Viorel discovered that he can change into a wolf but that's not the easiest thing to handle. After finding out that a younger version of Nicolas might not be acting with his best interest at heart, Viorel decides to leave for the north. He is now traveling with two people, Alexej who needed to get out of Praha and Irina who he accidentally rescued.

 

 Now, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left off last week.

I stood up and sat on the other side of her for her to be able to see me.

“Are you alright?” I asked.

She looked at me as if she was seeing me for the first time but didn’t answer.

I knew it wasn’t the right moment to talk about what happened. I didn’t even know how much she knew.

“I ordered a bath for you, next time you want to play in the forest, at least put your shoes on and avoid falling on the ground,” I said standing up. Her eyes followed me as I walked to the door, I could feel the intensity of her gaze in my back.

I took my glass of hot wine and walked to the window looking at the forest, lost in my thoughts, forgetting the glass burning my finger. Things had become more complicated and we might need to get out of Krakow faster than I had expected. I wanted to bite Irina so much, I needed blood and I had set my mind on biting her only during the trip even before the trip started. I was afraid of being figured out by the inn keepers and his wife. I knew they were grateful to me for saving her from the mad horses but I also knew that there was always a limit to gratitude. I drank the wine all at once, the liquid felt warm in my mouth, it was the closest feeling from blood I had from human food, it was thick. It made me want blood even more. I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I was unable to think clearly. Thoughts were too much, too fast for me to grabs. There was no way I was ever going to think it through tonight. I wanted to fall asleep but I couldn’t the thoughts were turning in my head, I was feeling dizzy and drunk from the wine. I didn’t like what alcohol was doing to me but tonight, I could have done with a lot more of it. I would have fallen asleep if the inn keeper didn’t knock at my door to tell me that the bath was ready. I told him that Irina could go first and he said that she was already finished. I had wanted a bath but now I didn’t feel like moving away from my bed. I force myself to stand up, I didn’t want to make the inn keeper unhappy by changing my mind after he had made so much efforts. 

The bath was hot and relaxing, a lot better than the first one I had taken in this trip. I felt tension that I didn’t know existed leave my painful muscle. My entire body seemed to change again but I wasn’t becoming a wolf anymore, I was just getting sleepy. Without will, without even washing myself, I felt the bath cool down. I found the strength to get out only when it was already late. I was hungry. I dressed up in a clean white shirt and went down to the hall. Irina was sitting at one of the table eating some potatoes soup. She shrugged when she saw me and looked away. I sat at an opposite corner, I didn’t feel like engaging in conversation tonight, I was quite dispirited. I order some meat, and potatoes and the red soup they liked to eat in this part of Europe. It was warm and my body felt better as I ate. I wanted blood though and the human food didn’t feed my spirit. I ate quickly and left to go to bed before Irina was even finished with her bread and soup. I couldn’t stand the smell of human food anymore, it was nauseating. For the first time I didn’t use the philosopher stone that night. I was too exhausted to travel in my own broken mind.
