Seventh Blood Vampires

A Small Request

Evander spent the morning on a fishing boat chatting and drinking milk coffee. He quite enjoyed the hospitality of his two rescuers, they exchanged stories coolly, until Evander did not realize the sunlight had touched the skin of his face.

Evander is shocked when a motorboat breaks into the beach area, his two good rescuers even drive him to an antique shop to exchange his coins, in order to be used to go to the nearest hospital. Evander walked under the morning sun, not burning, not feeling any pain. It was just a little warm, and he felt very amazed.

Apparently, behind his title as Count Dracula with a thousand disabilities, he still has advantages that other vampires do not have. He is a daywalker, a vampire who can live a normal life in the sun like the first-generation Count Dracula. An advantage not inherited by the entire family of Count Dracula.

If only Evander had known this long ago ..he would not have had to hide or sleep in a stuffy crate to avoid hunters. After all who would risk being burned to test such a thing? Just like the parable, which human would want to soak in boiling water just to test the strength of his skin?

An antique shop near the beach only dared to buy two silver coins belonging to Evander. Not daring to bid another silver coin let alone a gold coin. The store owner doesn't have enough money to fool the already smart Evander after three months of living with Ariana.

“I thank you for your help,” said Evander forced to pay expensive ride given his rescuers. Payment worth the purchase of one motorboat unit was received by two fishermen with their mouths agape. They think Evander is too generous.

“Hey, you gave us too many friends! You need it for the hospital and the next trip!” said Fredy. Mike immediately agreed that they would be lazy today because of getting excess money from Evander.

“I owe you my life, so I deserve to give you a gift. See you soon, Fred! Ohya greetings to your daughter, Mike! You have to go home now to celebrate his birthday. Don't forget to buy him a gift!” evander closed the conversation. He did not go to the hospital, but looked for lodging after buying clothes around the beach.

Evander spent the whole day sleeping due to exhaustion. He paid an innkeeper to buy him five bags of blood. The errand boy did not have time to ask or suspect after receiving some money from Evander. He was so excited to go where Evander said he was.

With his crazy, innkeeper, the slum-looking teenage girl instead volunteered to work as the Count's personal servant, who had already been very royal to pay his services and of course because … that pale man who needs blood looks rich?

“Do I have anything else to do for you, sir? Shoe shine maybe?” asked the teenage girl while holding out a shopping bag to Evander.

“I don't need your services yet, I'll call you if there's anything to buy again later. Thanks for the help,” said Evander kindly, do not shrink the good intentions of the little girl who needs the job.

The question was still the same as this afternoon, what should he do after failing to cross the time portal?

The first thing Evander thought of was that he would repeat his time exploration, trying once again on the next devil's moon. Just how dare he go back to Ariana now and leave her again on the night of the next devil month?

Nah! Ariana could die from repeated sadness. However, wouldn't he be so cruel to live in the same age without telling his wife?

Ah, Evander, in the aftermath, he was busy pondering all his steps and preparations yesterday until failure. What's wrong? What should be repaired? How can he be sure that the next time traveling will be successful?

It took a few hours when Evander decided to go to London. His wife once said that he had to go to the airport if he wanted to go to London. Yes, of course Evander will go by plane. He is a bit allergic to ships.

Evander smiled remembering Ariana's face when they first met. Then his face turned grim when he remembered his wife fainting at the dock.

Yeah ... I have to get to London by plane. Maybe there was something I found there, something related to my mission.

Inspired, Evander leaves the inn the next morning, heading to the airport in a taxi. He is no longer afraid of the sun, he can also eat pizza for a while if hungry hit. Supplies were few, only two bags of blood were stored in a special tube and also some change of clothes he bought from Wall-Mart not far from the inn.

Evander gave the lodge errand boy more money, saying he would contact the teenage girl if she returned to Maine. He plans to hire the teenager in Ariana's cottage as a friend to care for the flower garden, as well as a cook.

When the plane finally took off, Evander stared blankly out the window. He missed Ariana. And for the umpteenth time he prayed in his heart. A small request, namely the way home to his wife's arms after he completed the mission in London.
