Chapter 2

[Scarlett and Vanessa]

Scarlett and Vanessa arrived at the secret room. There was little light in the room, and it was filled with vampires. There were no doors in the secret room, which were filled with locked windows.

Scarlett looked for Josephine, but she was nowhere to be found.

"Where has Josephine gone?" Scarlett inquired. "Don't tell me she still hasn't learned teleportation magic."

"What do you think?" Why do you suppose I said nothing when she decided not to take the test? It's pointless for her to take it because she'll embarrass herself."

"Vanessa, don't speak about her like that." Scarlett shunned Vanessa's idea. "Even if she is not as quick to learn as us, she is still our sister, so be nice."

"Yes, I hear you," she responded as she rolled her eyes.

Sonia arrived in a white, knee-length gown with her golden hair down. Every gaze fell on her.

"Sonia is here," Vanessa said to Scarlett.

Sonia was a stunning woman who served as the vampire clan's leader. Everyone admires her, yet everyone is terrified of her, especially when she is angry.

Scarlett was still looking at the back and debating if she should go pick up Josephine when Vanessa brushed up against her elbow.

"We're getting started right now. Pay attention."

"I was wondering if we should pick up Josephine," Scarlett whispered into Vanessa's ear.

"There isn't any necessity. If you leave now, you will draw attention to yourself, which could get you both in trouble," Vanessa replied.

"Let's get started right now," Sonia remarked.

[Josephine]

When Josephine turns around, she sees a young man lying lifelessly on the ground, his face on the grass. He was covered in blood.

Josephine hurried over to meet him. She elevated his body to get a better look at his face.

"Hey, wake up," Josephine said, shaking him.

Because this was her first encounter with something like this, Josephine did not know what to do. She did not know how he even got here.

She wipes her sweat off her body, then takes off her hat and places it on the field.

"What should I do?" says Josephine. She dragged him across the floor and up to sit behind a large locust tree.

She touches his heart and feels his heartbeat.

"Thank God he's alive! " she exclaimed with relief.

She tore his shirt and noticed the wound on his chest. The cut in his chest was round and deep, and it was leaking pus.

"How did he survive?" she wondered, her face perplexed. "I'd be doomed if someone saw me doing this to you," she added, binding him with a handkerchief to stop the bleeding.

This was Josephine's first encounter with a boy, as no boys were permitted in the vampire clan.

Josephine fixed her gaze on him. She examined his hazel eyes, then his mouth.

He piqued Josephine's interest. She had no idea a guy could be so attractive.

"He's very handsome," she says as her palm approaches his face. Then she came to a halt.

She strikes her hand.

"Josephine, please keep your hands to yourself."

Josephine pondered her options for a long time. Because of the vampire clan's rule, she could not transport him back to her home. She doesn't want to get thunderstorm punishment.

She must either leave him here or go to the secret room. It was the most tough decision she had ever made.

"Forget it. Allow me to assist you. I'm only here to assist you. I'm sure Sonia understands," she added as she tugged him away.

"Sorry, handsome guy, you will have to be dragged like this for 2 hours because I can't do anything right for the life of me."

"You can let me down," the young man whispered, quivering his lips and lowering his eyebrows.

His lips were chapped.

Josephine was taken aback. She quickly let him down.

"Were you awake all this time?" she asked, crossing her hands.

"If you can count, hearing you contemplating," he said as he was breathing hard. "Then I was awake." He looked around his surroundings and said, "Is this the vampire clan?"

"I can leave you here since you're fine."

Josephine retrieved her hat from the floor and wore it. The young man closed his eyes and remained motionless.

She was going to depart when she noticed the man had fainted.

"Are you feeling okay?" She examined his wound. "Oh my God, you're bleeding profusely,"

She noticed a wing tattoo behind his ear, which she had never seen before. She tucked him behind her back and activated a blob Scarlett had given her to use in an emergency if her teleportation power failed.

"I can't believe I'm going to use this on a stranger," she sighed heavily.

She took out the glob, then held him and used it. Josephine could teleport back to her home. She places him on the couch in her living room and begins searching for herbs that she may use to heal him. She knew she wasn't the finest doctor, but she wanted to give it a shot.

She could get the herbs and boil them in her kitchen one hour later.

They were both shocked to find a man there. Josephine hurriedly jumped up, astonished to see them because she expected them to take a long time to arrive. Whenever there is a meeting, it usually takes hours to finish.

"Sis…"

"What exactly is going on here?" Vanessa said this while taking a big breath and maintaining constant eye contact with Josephine, waiting for her to clarify.
