My Anti-hero Fairy System

Chapter 8: 08. A Fairy's Blood



"Why the hell would you walk into a girl's room or anyone's room without knocking?" Sylvester asked Travis, covering Cara's naked body with a towel.

Travis lingered, his eyes fixed on Cara's form for a beat too long, as if caught in some trance. "Sorry," he mumbled, shifting awkwardly. "I just wanted to let you know your pizza has arrived."

"Is that all?" Sylvester asked, his tone sharper now.

Travis licked his lips—a little too pink and moist for Sylvester's comfort. "Not exactly," he replied, stepping closer. "I was hoping we could... pick up where we left off."

Sylvester instinctively stepped back. "Where did we leave off?"

"You really did lose your memory, huh," Travis smirked, his tone oozing arrogance.

"Before you overdosed, I gave you something and you promised to give me something in return," Travis said, still inching closer to Sylvester.

Sylvester read his mind and found he wasn't lying about this he did in fact, made a deal with Cara before she died.

"Sorry, I don't remember anything," Sylvester said coolly. "What exactly did you give me that I'm supposed to repay?" At the same time, he probed deeper into Travis's thoughts, hoping to uncover the truth.

Sylvester had realized after using his mind reading ability all evening that it is mostly useful to him when his subject is thinking about what he wants to know.

Travis hesitated. "It doesn't matter what I gave you," he said evasively. "What matters is you still owe me."

Sylvester gleaned two crucial pieces of information from Travis's mind: first, Travis had given Cara a key to his father's underground cellar. Second, Travis had an alarming obsession with enacting some step-sibling fantasy straight out of an adult video.

[To think I thought this guy was the good one.]

'I had a feeling that he would turn out to be a douchebag,' Sylvester telepathically tells Hagrit.

'Now it is time to play him like a fiddle.'

"How can I do as I promised when I don't even know what you are talking about?" Sylvester asked, feigning ignorance.

Travis's smirk turned desperate. "Even if you don't remember, you could still give me... something," he said, his voice low and suggestive. "You know what? Let's make it simple. Just let me... jerk off to your sexy body."

Sylvester recoiled in disgust. "You're insane. Get out of my room, pervert."

"Come on," Travis pleaded, his voice edging into desperation. "It won't take long. Just five minutes." He began unzipping his pants.

"If you don't get out right now," Sylvester said, his voice icy, "I will scream."

Travis froze, weighing his options, then reluctantly zipped up and stormed out. He cast Sylvester one last lingering glance before slamming the door behind him.

'what an asshole. Pretty boys are the worst.'

[Damn! That was revolting,] Hagrit chimed in.

[The guy doesn't waste any time, does he? First thing he asks for is sex from someone who just came back from the dead.]

'No kidding. At least now I know where to start investigating Cara's death. I am certain she found out something about the mayor, that he doesn't want anyone to know. The underground cellar holds answers, and I need her phone ASAP.'

'Whoever killed Cara would definitely want to finish the job, even if she has lost her memory.'

[Be careful, you can't afford to die.]

'I know. Before we were interrupted by that pervert you were saying something about my new skill'

[Yes, let's resume.]

[Skill: (Love Aura): with this skill you can make anyone love you and be drawn to you.]

Sylvester felt this skill will be quite useful, since he wanted to have Ashley in his bed if possible tonight.

[Can I show you your status?]

"Yes, do," Sylvester said, putting on a t-shirt and pants he found in Cara's wardrobe

[Sylvester Lancaster AKA Cara Bolton]

[Level 1(700/5000)]

[Points: 700.]

[Strength: 10/ Mana: 5/ Vitality: 10/ Agility: 10/Resistance: 10/ Intelligence: 10.]

[Attribute points: 50.]

[Skills: Love Aura .]

'Tell me everything you know about this world'

[This world is very much like your former world, the only difference is that there are many other human-like creatures here. Some stay in secrecy, while others are in the open.]

[Vampires used to stay in the shadows, until a decade ago when most of them decided to come out and live with humans. Werewolves followed suit, but they are mostly in packs and stay in forest areas, hence they are not much threat to the humans. Alongside werewolves are shapeshifters, they can easily transform into any animal, even insects though they mostly prefer dogs. And some can even skin-walk (which is transforming into other humans), however it comes at a deadly price. But unlike werewolves, shapeshifters don't belong to any pack, they are quite disorganized and often solitary.]

'And the witches?'

[Witches exist in this world, and they are two types of witches.

Namely: The light blood Witches and the dark blood Witches. The light blood Witches are at the top of witch society and have contributed to health care amongst other spheres of life. While the dark blood Witches are on the lower end of witch society. They are small in number and are quite barbaric, they gain more powers by eating the hearts of witches whether light or dark. They have been in constant conflict with the light blood Witches. While most Witches have an ongoing hatred for vampires, that stems from the fact that vampires killed a lot of witches in the past and even in the present.]

'Wow! This is a lot to digest'

[There's one more creature I haven't mentioned.]

'What creature is that?'

[The fairies, there aren't many fairies in this world. From the research I did, fairies are way more secretive and mysterious, rumours have it that most of them are hiding in an impenetrable realm. Their number one enemy is vampires. Fairy's blood is very intoxicating like cocaine to vampires and rumors have it that vampires can walk under the sun after drinking fairy blood. Although some top vampires wear Daytime rings made by witches to protect them from the sun.]

'And Cara is what again?'

[Cara is half fairy, thanks to her late father.]

"Jesus christ I am screwed!"

Immediately Cara's mother knocked on the door, "Honey, will you be joining us anytime soon or would you prefer your pizza be brought to your room?"
