Chapter 47
Damage Control and A Confession 







Behind the Guesthouse, Jiangtou 





While Yibo and company are sweating it out in the jungle and guesthouse, He Peng is hiding behind Yibo's car in darkness and hogging over blood bags - drinking them like an animal because the human smell has been too much for him. Yeah, he could have easily attacked any of the human beings around him but he couldn't and he dare not. Mr. Lan and Mrs. Carmen had warned him that he couldn't kill anyone in a place that would bring him under suspicion. They had turned him into a vampire and he could not forego them. And they had kept the threat of a vampire slayer hanging over his head. They would either starve him to death or get some high profile slayer to stake him and turn him into a handful of ashes.


He Peng ( thinking as he put the blood bag to his mouth )- No life. No death. I am nowhere - just a monster living to drink blood or rather drinking blood to live. An eternal life of darkness, blood bath and fight for survival.... ( becomes sad)... maybe getting staked by a vampire slayer is not that bad an idea.

Just then, he hears a teasing feminine whistle behind him and the clicking sound of heels. He tosses the blood bag aside and stands alert with superhuman speed - as if ready to attack.

He Peng (sensing)- A woman. I recognize your smell! Ji Li, that's you, right? COME OUT!

Ji Li comes in front of him and curves her lips with her hands up in the air with soundless applause. He Peng narrows his eyebrows at her as he wipes the blood on his hands on the lapels of his brown shirt.

He Peng ( darkly )- No games with me, Bolsh. I know you are a vampire - mutant Bolsh vampire. What's with all the stalking , huh? Go back to the guest house and put on your air of the Vogue Bimbette for Zu and Jia at least. No roaming in the woods.

Ji Li ( walking towards him )- Etiquettes , Peng. Etiquettes. When someone walks upon you while you are ( laughs) having dinner ,  you are supposed to ask them to join you.

He Peng ( glares at her)- Dinner? You call these blood bags dinner? It's a curse on us! You understand me? Now, get this sick sense of humour and yourself out of here, Just F**** OFF!

Ji Li comes to He Peng and puts her hands on his shoulders - aiming her sharp brandy eyes at him. She tilts her head and sweeps her hair aside to reveal her fair neck .

Ji Li ( darkly)- Vampires were given fangs to bite....( fingers her neck)....you don't want to kill human beings. , fine. But we are.... ( whispers into his ears)....vampires. We can exchange blood . Like this!

With this Ji Li, gets her fangs out and pierces them into He Peng's neck - evoking the monster in him and forcing him to bite her back. They both suck blood out of each-other. Ji Li's blood, being black and contaminated with Huraan - the genetic Bolshva poison makes the insides of He Peng's mouth burn as though hit with an acid. Growling in pain, he pushes Ji Li off. Ji Li watches him writhe in pain and feels bad for him for a few fleeting seconds. But the voice of the Majesty in her head kills her bouts of conscience.

Majesty : Ji Li, you are not supposed to go under any moral weight. DON'T.

Ji Li shakes her head and wipes the blood off her mouth as she steps back.

Ji Li ( patting He Peng's head)- Awwwww baby. Don't cha worry. You will not be consumed by Huraan like Yibo almost was. Huraan is only as lethal as a Bolsh vampire's temper. You are just hit by the acid - nothing's gonna happen to you.
