68 Robert is a Vampire?

“Robert?”
After I called his name, suddenly, my head was so dizzy, my vision blurred, and darkness immediately gathered inside me.
Two hours later.
I slowly opened my eyes, and while my vision was blurry, I saw a figure walking back and forth in front of me.
I rubbed my eyes several times to get a clearer vision; after my vision was completely clear, I realized that the one currently pacing in front of me was Robert.
“Where am I?” I asked, confused when I saw the room around me look so foreign.
Robert was surprised when he saw I was awake; he came closer to me while sitting on the edge of the bed.
.....
“Are you okay?” Robert asked me frantically while holding my fingers.
“Where am I? Where is this?” I’m still asking that question because, to be honest, I should first know where I am currently.
“Don’t worry; you are in a safe place. This is my new home.” Robert replied, smiling at me; he stroked my forehead gently and then said again, “are you all right?”
I nodded, answering what he had just asked, and then Robert got me a glass of water next to the bed.
“Drink first; I think you are still shocked about what happened earlier,” Robert said while helping me to be able to drink the water.
Glek!
The taste of this water is sweet, unlike water in general; I immediately wrinkled my forehead and looked at Robert, always asking, “what water is this?”
“Ah, this is water, but I add sugar to make it sweeter and can increase the stamina inside you,” Robert replied, explaining that made me calm down instantly.
Because as long as many other supernatural beings are chasing me, I can’t calm down and panic wherever I am. Even though I’m currently at Robert’s house, without David by my side, it makes me unable to calm down.
“I must go home soon; they will look for me,” I said While trying to get up, but suddenly the dizziness came back to attack my head.
“Don’t force yourself first; I will take you home, but you still don’t look fine. You better rest first so your stamina returns,” said Robert while looking at me deeply.
I don’t know why when Robert said those words, I felt calm and nodded my head; I could only follow his words.
“How did you know if I was kidnapped by hmmm-” I stopped my sentence for fear that Robert would not understand what I was saying.
“Vampire?” Robert said that immediately making my eyes widen instantly.
“Uh, do you know about them?” I asked in disbelief because it felt like Robert knew something.
Robert nodded his head and then looked away from me. His aura looked so different from before; at this moment, something sad flashed back in his memory. He remembered something from an incident in his past.
“I know about them because I am one of them.”
Deg!
My heart seemed to stop pounding when I heard what Robert had just said; Robert said that he was a vampire. Is what he said a fact?
“Huh? You’re kidding. I know you’re not a Vampire! You-”
My words stopped instantly when I saw him just silent and looking at me intently. Because I could feel that what he said was a fact because the aura coming out of his body said so.
I was silent, unable to say anything because if what he said was true, then did he know about me all this time?
“It’s a long story. Maybe I will tell you and please don’t panic. Because I know for sure, you will think differently about me. Promise me first if you want to listen to my story.” Said while looking at me; he held my hand while stroking it gently.
I nodded my head slowly as if I had allowed him to tell me about his life; I don’t know what this feeling is, but as if I had to nod to let him tell me about his life.
“I used to be a normal human being like you, but that night everything became different. There was a figure of a male vampire who suddenly bit my neck, then he slashed his palm and asked me to drink his blood.”
“My normal life changed instantly that day. In the past, it was very difficult to control my blood thirst. It had to be fulfilled. I could suck blood from two individuals within a day.”
Hearing what Robert said, of course, made me immediately shiver.
“But don’t worry, that was decades ago; now I can control my thirst for blood so well. Even now, I don’t need to suck blood from people directly because I always stock up on blood from the hospital. I have plenty of it bloodstock in a cold cupboard.”
And what he just said made me breathe a sigh of relief instantly.
“Then did you know I am not a normal human being?” I asked Robert to be sure because I had to be on the lookout for him to be one of the other supernatural beings who wanted my blood.
“Of course, any supernatural being close to you will surely know that. That was my goal since the first time I confessed I love you.”
“My first goal is to protect you because I know many other supernatural beings will hunt someone with rare blood.”
“And true, my purpose in moving to this place was to see you from a distance because I know you currently live with a werewolf family.”
I was silent again, hearing what Robert said because it felt like he knew much about David’s family and me.
“I did that because I was also worried that David and his family would take advantage of you,”
“What do you mean by that?” I asked at once when he told me about David and his family.
“I’m afraid their goal all along was to get your hands on the rare blood you have,” Robert said with a worried face looking at me.
I shook my head with a chuckle because there was no way David and his family would do that to me. Because the two of them are currently really ensuring my safety.
“You think that’s impossible, right, but you still have to be careful because I feel the intention must be from the two of them!” Robert said seriously, which made me speechless.
