Chapter 54 The fifth ingredient

The final ingredient: Blood of an immortal vampire

They say human blood sustains life, but the blood of an immortal vampire is life itself. Highly addictive, the main source of the various supernatural abilities possessed by these creatures and which serves as their literal life essence. It is useless to other vampires who possess the same blood in their veins, but is life to the humans.

For centuries, the vampire community has succeeded in keeping this precious gift a secret to the humans, else they try to start hunting vampires for their blood. The sacred blood that heals and turns the natural to the super, blesses us with healing and gives humans a second life.

The blood of a vampire gives the essence to immortals,

Humans who drink it can escape the death portals.

Humans who drink it can form a bond with the blood giver

But do not drink too much, else your human blood will wither.

This precious blood that flows through the strong immortal veins,

With it, there is happiness and forever healing reigns.

But do not show the enemy, else the vampires cease to exist,

Blood compulsions are common and trust they won’t resist,

To hunt down the vampires until all of them are gone,

And there’ll be no more sleeping vampires by the next break of dawn.

“Ok Joana, just close your eyes, and it’ll be all over soon.”

Dana picked up the small dagger on the table in her room and slowly penetrated the sharp point of it into Joana’s hand. She let out a little wince even though the cut just tickled her. Had it been she were still human; she would have busted Dana’s eardrums.

Derick had been reluctant to do this and she was happy that Dana agreed, she didn’t know why he was being paranoid as if he had never seen blood before. He didn’t even tell her he didn’t want to at first, he just kept on giving her excuses until she realized it herself.

As soon as the dagger had made the cut, Dana quickly grabbed a little bottle and let some of the blood flow into it, as the wound would heal quickly if they didn’t do it on time.

After the blood was in, Dana removed the dagger and the wound closed up immediately. She handed the little bottle over to Joana who had rolled her sleeves back down. She looked at her immortal blood, much thicker and more colorful than the normal human one, while it was inside the bottle.

“Thank you,” Dana, she told her.

“No problem,” Dana picked up a small wet cloth from the table top which she used to clean the drops of blood that had stained her hand, before standing up to leave the room.

Joana smiled while looking at the bottle of blood she held in her hand. The fifth and final ingredient. Her search was finally complete. She couldn’t believe that she was one more step closer to getting home.
