Chapter 15: Trouble

One thing I know is this man with red eyes wouldn't care about me if I wasn't here so again this is Vale's fault. I feel like he is an enemy of Vale's because he just stinks of evil, not that Vale is good. The man didn't look like a werewolf, I've never heard of a werewolf with glowing red eyes and how he appears only in my dreams than in person means he can't risk coming here. He isn't welcome here and he is such a coward for invading my dreams.

I remember that he wasn't happy that the monsters were the ones shaking the world to panic and not him. Which also reminded me of what Zik said to me about how it's not only monsters they are dealing with. He also listed Vampires and werewolves who have gone mad. The man was definitely no werewolf which means he is a Vampire...I think. I really don't know much about Vampires except they drink blood to survive. My eyes wandered to the direction of the small bookshelf, if it had a book about monsters then maybe there's a chance there's a book about Vampires.

I was right, there indeed was a book about vampires and it made me wonder who was the person that placed these books here. Was it random or on purpose? Anyway that's not important right now, I began reading the book and each page had its own fascination.

Vampires live the longest and don't age unless they want to, they are the closest thing to immortality. They are merciless and are known to kill for fun. They see the world as a place they should conquer and make their own. A vampire can live for thousands of years and still look like they are in their twenties, they see themselves as gods because of that. Still, just because they don't get sick or take too long to age or to die doesn't mean they can't be killed. Sadly it is very hard to kill a vampire, their powers are too unfair. They are fast, very agile and they have mind powers. Although it only works on humans they have the power to turn them into vampires which is why they are large in numbers. Far larger than the other supernatural races.

They have one weakness and that's silver, the sun wasn't mentioned which was a surprise. I thought they couldn't walk out during daytime but I guess that was false information. The book didn't say anything that was going to help me stop that man from visiting my dreams. The time for me to get out of my room and make more potions arrived too quickly. I was a bit distracted and slow but I managed to make the expected number of potions. I'm aware that everyone sees that I'm not okay but after what I said to Roseanne no one said anything and I was glad. All except Zik.

"Okay what is your problem?" Should I tell him? A lot of ideas came to mind and the one that made the most sense was a potion that strengthens the mind and protects it from illusions and being controlled. The problem is that making a potion like that requires high level and rare ingredients, which I have in my bracelet but I know that's not an option. Not only will it expose that I have many high quality rare ingredients, it'll also expose that I can make better potions than the ones I'm making. Also, a potion will not be a permanent solution because I'll have to drink a potion every day before going to sleep, as a potion that is permanent can only be made by strong witches like the queen.

I was never taught how to make potions, I learnt by observing that evil witch family so there are potions that even I can't make. So this means I don't have a solution for today and I'm not even sure if I'll have one for tomorrow. I don't think I will. Zik here is a person who must have encountered vampires many times and knows more than the book I read tells. Let's also not forget that I'm in this mess because of them, this started as soon as I was brought here. The vampires or this vampire are not happy that I'm making the werewolves better potions.

" My problem is I always dream about a man with red glowing eyes who wants to know who and what I am. He feels dangerous, evil and the air that's around him feels like death. I swear I'm not crazy but it just feels...real, it's not just dreams. He is real" I expected him to not believe me and laugh at my face but right after describing him his face darkened and he asked " you said dreams, meaning it has happened more than once?". I nodded and it made him slam his hand on the table catching Roseanne and Arina's attention " Damnit Era!" This was really not the reaction I was expecting.

He stood up all of a sudden and I did the same " what's going to happen now? What are you going to do?!" He was really making me nervous, I knew this was serious and I have been trying to not freak out. "I'm going to talk to Vale, he'll know what to do so stay here and don't wander to the forest like the last time " I nodded and watched as he left the elixir house. Yes I should wait, right? It's not a hard thing to do. "What have you done now?!" Or so I thought. I turned towards the woman who was wearing a long brown skirt, a green shirt and red shoes. Who wears brown, green and red as an outfit. " Excuse me?" I asked as I was really confused about what her problem was this time.

" I heard what he said, he said he is going to talk to Alpha Vale and by the look on his face it isn't for good reasons which means you must've done something horrible...humph! I knew you were going to bring trouble but I didn't think it would be this soon" she said all that nonsense with her hands on her waist, sounding so sure that I must've done something wrong.

"Madam Arina I can assure myself that I did nothing wrong because I care not about what you think of me. The only thing I brought here is uncertainty to your heart about yourself and I can only advise you to tend to that and stay out of my business!..
