Vampire Cultivation System in a Hidden World of Monsters

When I got down there it was chaos. Shots were being fired back and forth throughout the first floor. Several people on both sides shot me but they didn't do anything. And then I saw her.

Victoria had a hole in her stomach the size of a melon. She looked like shit still, she clearly hadn't been feeding. She was sitting on top of one of Johnny's men, riding him like there was no tomorrow.

I watched as the hole slowly healed and closed up. She was feeding off him to heal her body. Then she saw me. Here eyes went wide and she went ghostly pale.

She looked at me, and then down at what she was doing and realized what she had done. Cheated. On me. Accidentally. And unknowingly. But she did.

And she couldn't seem to live with that.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"No! Don't look at me! I'm disgusting!" She tried to cover herself and she fell to the floor, half naked and bawling.

"You're dead! And I was about to die! Wahhhh!!!" She just started crying inconsolably on the ground. She got pelted with bullets but she paid them no mind.

Despite the feeding she had already done, she was going to die if I didn't get her out of here. She couldn't just shrug off bullets like I could. Bullets would kill her if she was hit by enough of them and especially in such a starved vulnerable state.

Luther walked up to her on the ground and put a gun to her head. He was about to end her, and I said, "Luther stop! That's my girlfriend!"

"You're dating the enemy?" He said, really confused.

"It's complicated. Can you get everyone left out of here?" I said.

"Yeah, probably." Luther said.

"Then do that and text me where you guys settle. I'll come and check on you afterwards. I need to get her out of here," I said as I looked down at Victoria.

"Ok," he said and left.

I knelt down on the ground and picked up Victoria and put her over my shoulder. She didn't resist, but she wasn't really thinking about much right now except her grief and her guilt.

I went back up the stairs and out the back of the house. Then we flew away with Midas. We touched down at the motel Chad was staying at. I knocked and he opened the door.

I just walked in and put her on the bed. She was covered in blood.

"You know they'll charge me for bloodstains," he said.

"Put it on my tab," I said.

I placed my hands on Victoria's stomach. Careful not to disrupt the Vi in her body, I sent Vi across the surface of her skin and into her wounds to assess the damage.

She had over fifty bullets in her body, if you counted each piece of buckshot as an individual bullet. She had a mix of shotgun pellets and regular bullets inside her.

I located and grabbed onto every bullet with the blanket of Vi I had created over the outside of her body. Then I pulled them all out at once.

"Ahhhh!!!" She screamed in agony. Her muscles twitched and spasmed under my fingers.

"I know, babe. I know," I said. I was experiencing a tidal wave of emotion at the moment, but she needed me to be present and functional if she was going to make it out of this alive. Or unalive. Whatever.

After removing the bullets, I concentrated Vi into the wounds to promote accelerated healing. I could sense it as it was happening. After about twenty minutes of dedicated concentration, she was fully healed from her injuries.

I placed her in the center of the bed and put a pillow under her head. Despite being fully healed, her nervous system had gone through extensive stimulation. Which was just a fancy way of saying she experienced immense pain and agony.

The central nervous system which consists of your brain and spinal cord needs rest after extensive stimulation, pleasant or unpleasant. And she had received a truckload of the unpleasant variety.

This was all to say that I let her sleep it off while I cleaned up and processed my emotions. I put all the bullets into the bag in the trashcan and removed the bag.

Didn't want the cleaning crew to find bullets in the trash. I gave it to Midas to eat so it would be deposited in my inventory.

"Are you going to explain to me what happened? And who she is?" Chad said.

"Not now, Chad. I will later. I just went through a gun fight where I got shot over a hundred times, and my girlfriend almost died in front of me. I need time to process this sh*t, ok?"

"Well, that kind of answered all my questions already, but I'll leave you be," he said, as he went and sat in the chair at the little desk in the room.

I sat on the edge of the bed and just let my mind wander. She cheated on me, but she really didn't cheat though. I mean, I was dead for one, and she only did it to stay alive, which benefitted me as well as her.

I wouldn't have wanted her to not feed and die. So if anything, I was thankful she did it. Yes. She did nothing wrong. And I don't feel disrespected or insulted by it. It was purely for survival.

Again, she did nothing wrong and she has nothing to be ashamed of. How should we do this going forward though? She needed to feed. She couldn't keep starving herself.

What if she only used her hands. Would that still provide the same nourishment? That sounds so weird. Sexual acts providing nourishment. But they did for her. So I guess it wasn't that weird.

Ok. That's what I'll tell her. She's allowed to use hands however she wants, and mouth if she has to. That's not a big deal, right? Right. This was going to be the weirdest story to tell our kids.

If we ever had kids. Oh wait, vampires can't have kids. But my mom did. So maybe I could too? I'd have to ask my mom when I finally saw her after all these years. I'm not even sure I want kids.

Ok, time to stop talking to yourself now. I checked on Victoria. She was awake. She looked at me with the saddest eyes I'd ever seen.

"Can you hold me?" She said.

"Yes, I can do that." I said. I climbed onto the bed and got into the big spoon position behind her and held her.

"Thank you." She said.

We didn't say anything else for a long time, and eventually we fell asleep.
