Inject Me Sweetly / Dusk Until Dawn

:Inject Me Sweetly: Chapter Seventeen

Blue Blood? What were they babbling on about? I could heal vampires? The thought almost made me snort.

"You look like you don't believe us," Sebastian observed, cocking an eyebrow.

"We can test it out on Sebastian if you want-"

"No!" Immediately I regretted vocalizing my reaction. My hand shot up to my throat and I squeezed my eyes shut.

Fiona giggled but quickly stifled it. "Sorry, Em... You're funny."

I rolled my eyes at her. How was causing myself pain funny to her? I turned to Vincent, glaring at him. Leave Sebastian alone, I wrote.

"Whatever."

A sinking feeling made itself known in my chest and I felt the sudden urge to cry. Why was he being so mean? I wracked my brain for a reason for his behavior, but came up short. There was no reason for him to be so moody toward me!

"Focus," the King commanded. "This is a serious issue."

I cocked my head to the side, furrowing my eyebrows again.

"Emily, if word gets out that you have Blue Blood, you'll be in danger," Sebastian told me. "There are... poachers, if you will, who will want to get a hold of your blood as soon as possible."

"Poachers?" I squawked in horror, ignoring my throat's protest.

"Shh," Fiona shushed, flicking me on the shoulder. "抖阴社区."

Picking up the marker with a shaky hand, I began to scratch my thoughts down as quickly as I could. What do you mean by that? Poachers? Like the ones who kill those poor baby seals?

"Except these ones kill Blue Bloods," Solomon corrected me. "They also sometimes keep them locked up so they can use them repeatedly."

My eyes widened considerably.

"We won't let anyone know though!" Fiona assured me quickly. "No one will know you're a Blue Blood. If anyone did find out..." She made a face. "Well, we'd be screwed."

How many are there?

Solomon smiled sadly. "That we know of? One."

I blinked at him. Did he mean I was the only one? Confused, I picked up the marker again. That's me? Where are the others?

"Dead," Sebastian responded flatly. "Like my father said before, those rogue vampires used them for their blood carelessly. I'm sure there are some around somewhere, but they're probably in hiding. Generally Blue Bloods are humans from vampire descent... As in, maybe they're great, great grandparents were a human and a vampire; they had a child, that child married a human, until the vampire in them was hardly there. They also know vampires exist."
