Cursed blood

At the same time, someone run by the stairs from the third floor down. As soon as he entered into the second floor he directly went forward Clara. The man was quite high and with macular build despite looking quite old. He had slightly white skin, but compare to herself, it was still normal. Both of them quickly exchange the glances and man quickly looked away.

"Greetings Elder. Sorry for me not being able to welcome you sooner. My name is Lucio di Grado. I am owner of this

establishment. I will send you new attendant into the room immediately if you are requesting one. As you see, I am trying to not kill my personal or other humans, to save most of the better ones to more uses. They are not able to survive more feeding in the same time for the blood loss in their body. This way it's also much more less suspicious for the church as the less people are missing and we are sending them back to their families. We are using these runes to… Well whatever."

Clara never thought that they could survive, but the fact that she met Rosa was kind of obvious. If there was so many vampires, Venezia will surely run out of people in the meantime.

"All right than. I will want to speak to you later."

Lucio di Grande smiled like an idiot and let the way into the third floor. Clara was quickly following him and Rosa was left at the second floor. She looked like she met a disaster and rest of the vampires were just watching her. She looked quite beautiful, despite the whole place being in the light darkness, but none of them move an inch forward her, despite showing her neck to everyone around.

"Is Elder that dangerous that even you are afraid of her?"

All of them notted at the same time and Rosa wanted to run away. At least, she saw a bottle of uncork liquor in the table, so she picked it up and took it with herself. She knew that the liquor was clearly someone's, but what could they do to her?

The one who ordered it was only watching her picked the bottle and let her go. Smile appeared on her face, as she felt superior to everyone on this floor.

"That bad hm?? Well fuck!" Joked Rosa and also left for the third floor.

*****

Clara went into the room, which looked beautiful with only bed made out of carved wood and table with chairs. She liked the room and unlike the rest of the building which room didn't looked like someone painted walls with the blood. Right befits her entered inside Lucio and behind him girl in her late teens with slander body and long brown hair. She was half naked only with a shirt and blue eyes.

Clara sit on the bed and she sit right next to her. Who also arrived was Rosa who sit to the table and Lucio stayed standing.

"So Elder. Did you just turned?" Old vampire asked curiously, and once again looked away, so he will not look in Clara’s eyes.

"Yes. How did you know?" Asked Clara curiously and she quickly moved forward him. She was so excited to how more about her being a vampire, that she wanted to found out at all cost. He once again moved away from her and quickly answered.

"If you were elder for the long time, you will certainly not be here, but in your territory or hidden. Elders are too powerful to just walk around and going to drink into the dens. They had others to do their job for them and life in luxury or are currently most of the elder on the battlefields in Croatia. Also it’s much more easier to distinguish elder from the normal people or vampires. Despite lesser vampires can’t pull back their fangs, they are not as pail as the elders or Lords."

Clara interrupted Lucio with another question.

"Are you stronger than me? As you said I just turned and you must be old. Clearly everyone downstairs was afraid, but not you."

He didn’t answered, but once Clara moved closer once again, and Lucio once again start talking.

"Probably not, but I am smarter than you and I know how to fight. You could have more raw strength, but that's probably all. Than is the question of your ability which I don't know, would if it's something which could help you in fights I will certainly lose. Surely, once you will drink blood for long time, I will have no chance to stand against you and I will be quickly killed."

"Great. Now next question. How is it possible that we can feed more times on them."

"How many so far?"

"Two. None of them survived, but I think, when I was feeding for the second time, I didn't killed him at first."

"Well, you need to stop feeding after you have enough and not to ripped his arteries in the process."

"Isabella is skilled, so she will show you from where and how to feed, so you will not kill them if you will feed somewhere safe. It's also good to found someone to be your familiar to help you feed, so you don't need to kill or hund so often. On the other hand. You will need to take care of your familiar, so he or she will not die or you not kill him in process."

"It also depends on taste. If you will not like her I will found someone more to your liking. Also there is a problem when you feed on someone, whey could be drinking holy water which will start to burn you or made you disgusted if you drink their blood. That bastards never say, but they are grinding silver in the holy water, so than it looks like their fucking miracles works."

"If that's all, I will leave."

Just before he stud up, he placed a bottle with the blood on the table.

"This is blood of low vampire. If you accidentally manage to suck them to near death, placed this blood on their injuries and they will close. This blood is not that powerful, so they will not die thank to it."
