3 Wounded- Part 3 (2/2)

”Let's just say that my butler experimented something with my drink this noon to make me seem more human.”

”Can that happen?”

”Yes but it lasts for only a few hours.”

”I hope your butler is alright,” Heidi murmured with a smile, ”He should be really brave to do something like that.”

”Oh, he is very brave. Brave enough to be ready to starve for an entire week. What's your name?” he asked her. Sharing her name wouldn't be a problem, after all, she wasn't someone of high importance and did she didn't have any money either.

”Heidi,” she could hear the cap of the antiseptic being opened and closed as she answered, ”What about you? Why were you being chased after?”

”Curious thing aren't you. Let's just say that some things are better not known and left ignored because ignorance is a bliss. I think I will need a last favor from you,” she heard him say it to her and she turned around to see if he was done bandaging himself. He now wore one of Daniel's shirt which she had given him.

”What is it?”

”I think my body has restored back to its original state,” he said stalking towards her making her gulp.

”Congratulations?” she asked him wearily making him smile.

”Well, thank you but I am feeling very very thirsty right now,” he said making her panic, ”Like really warm so that I quench my thirst.”

”I-I don't think I can help you with that Sir...” she said slowly backing towards the wall and she felt her back hit the wall as her head began to turn dizzy.

She felt the man lean forward and then speak, ”If it's not tea, I am fine with coffee too.”

”Huh?”

”I always feel like drinking warm tea when it rains. Don't you?” he asked her with that charming smile making her smile back uneasily at him.

She didn't know why but for a second it felt like he was really going to drink her blood until she wilted like a dead flower. When she came back from the kitchen with a cup of tea, the man had already left with a note on the dining table.

'Thank you for your hospitality.'

He hadn't signed neither had he revealed his name at the end. Sighing, she took a sip of tea from the cup. The dark creatures were strange, she thought to herself.
