"Oh yeah the fire is still going." he says. "If you want me to, I can taste a bit of your blood and tell you, I'd make a small cut and patch it up fast, I have enough control for that." he says. "If not I won't."
|
I've actually already saved some in a small vial. I have no idea why as I was young, but my parents said I should keep it in case I need it for something. I didn't know what they meant by that till one day I saw them doing witchcraft using some of their own blood. It was probably something they were going to teach me a few years later, but it never happened. Might be one of those things to check for disease, but I'm not sure. The only concern is by this time would be is it still fresh..."
|
"Oh, I do enjoy aged blood better, that's also why I get it donated in bags, so I can let it sit for a couple of weeks while I drink the older blood." he says. "So you would want me to see for you?"
|
"Sure why not. It's not much, though. Just about a few metric inches or so. The vial I'd say is maybe six inches. The blood only comes halfway up. I've never used it either, even despite almost passing out from losing that much so young." She's had it worse. When she was young, she had to get the bleeding treatment after some poison got into her system accidentally nearly dying. To her now, three inches lost was nothing.
|
"It should be enough to where I can tell you how it tastes." he assures her. "That sucks, at least you lived from it, right?" he says looking on the positive side.
|
"Yeah. It was like a ritual I guess... I'll go get it." She walked in the kitchen and searched around for the tube. "Um... Where'd I put it?"She searched some more till she remembered where. Into the bedroom she went and out she came with the tube from her bedside table drawer. "Found it." The liquid was quite the dark red after five or so years.
|
He looked at the tube, looks like it's aged nicely." he says. "Yeah I do remember being to one of those long ago, it was quite interesting."
|
"I kind of don't... Bits and pieces pretty much... I may have been a bit too young then...." She looked at the tube. "If you say so... I don't know much about this kind of thing..."
|
He took the tube and tilted it above his mouth, letting the aged blood slid down his throat. "It tastes, from a vampires point of view, like a delicacy, sweet pure blood, it's like, actually sweeter than any blood I've had, so I guess it must be the same way for the bugs, or similar way." he says.
|
"It's that good?" She made a face remembering her recent taste. Just that morning. She'd tasted her own after getting injured a few years ago, though. "Didn't seem like it to me... Then again... Maybe I'm just not used to it... Or something..." She thought about that for a while. "No wonder mosquitoes and other bugs like my blood..."
|
"Yeah, from a vampires perspective, it's a good thing I've gotten good control over the years." he says laughing softly. "If I were any other vampire, I'd have my fangs in your neck, but I'm not, so it won't happen, I promise."
|
"I've read in books that even with good self control, there are still triggers... Could be a false statement though. Something someone made up for excitement of reading." She wasn't worried about it too much, though and it showed. She was just a carefree type of person. She also remembered an encounter one one... But wouldn't get into that right now.
|
"There is a trigger, but for some vampires like myself even with the trigger I can snap back into that control I'v gained and stop myself from doing something stupid, you know one thing that's happened because of imperfect control, and a trigger of course." he says. "But I have much better control now, it won't happen again."
|
"Well that's good to know then. I suppose over the years or decades with practice it gets easier to control. I was told many years ago that there's a bad side to my family too which was caused by a trigger, but it doesn't happen to everyone it seems. Some of the past witches on this island or rather my late relatives and ancestors have become evil or did evil things. I'm thinking it probably died down though over the years. Some of them were too obsessed with their magic, but that's only because they went to fast in learning everything. It takes time to do things properly. It could be an entire lifetime thing... Depending how long the witch lives to be if they have 'the gift' or have found a potion to extend their lifeline earlier in their life. Something like that."
|
"That could be, and I've seen that happen, I had to deal with one of your late ancestors, she was trying to kill me for my blood to do potions with, and I had to kill her to save myself from having no blood left in me, I didn't like to do it, but she was giving me no choice otherwise." he recalls his encounter with what she was explaining. "I know it won't happen to you, didn't happen to Gina."
((i think that's what we had her called, lol)) |
"I never learned any blood magic to begin with so chances are I'll probably skip that. It wasn't as if it was very important..." Or so she thought. In the past it was used for determining any disease a mortal may have died from. Sometimes if it was detected fast enough, the victim of the disease would have a chance to survive. "Blood kind of creeps me out anyway... Made me pass out one night while getting it..." She remembered that time. Happened the previous year.
|
"Maybe I can help you get it then, I could handle that I think, if of course you'd want the help." he says to her, offering help. "Yeah, blood magic can save lives, I've seen it happen from a distance, and that person survived, I think it was the spanish influenesa, really bad case of it, and this person was like 70 or 80, it was amazing, I saw all of the details of how the witch found it and cured it, I can't remember what kinds of spell can cure diseases though, I know there are ones that do."
|
"They probably are in old books around here. People don't read them, but they're around. I may even have some old ones of my ancestors. Provided that they weren't stolen by others. I think to keep them safe, they were placed in the attic of this little house. They wouldn't be in the cellar just because of rain and snow seeping in through any cracks. Though there may be leaks in the ceiling, but not very big..." She wondered about that. She'd never gone up there. Very cramped space. "That's good that the guy survived from an old witch medicine. Was it in an old medicine bottle or a like a perfume bottle with an easy lift lid? Just curious since the medicine bottles were usually a disguise so people wouldn't know it was made by a witch. Unless he did know..."
|
"I can't remember seeing the container it was in, I just saw him survive, it was amazing to see, and it will stay with me forever." he says. "I wouldn't doubt it." he says talking about the old books being in the attic.
|
"If that's the case then maybe he was a believer of witches or he was a hater of witches... Either one. The two bottles differ that assumption. It probably doesn't matter now though as that was probably many years ago, right?" She was pacing again as she thought. "Did I even answer the first question? If I hadn't, the answer is sure you can help me catch blood if you really want to. I've gotten a bit braver each time, but not quite as much as you probably are since you drink it..." She wasn't sure if that was true or not. It just slipped out.
|
"Cool, I don't know anymore than what I saw, I wasen't in the room when it happened, it was through the window, it was long ago." he said. "I'd love to help you get your blood, I don't get weak around it, I'd hope not. " he says chuckling
|
"I probably wouldn't need that much... Just a vial or two of all different types every so often. I've searched everywhere for the rare ones, but..." Being very rare they were always hard to find. "They're also hard to tell them apart from the common ones as well."
|
"well I can also help tell you which is which, I can smell the different kinds." he says.
((writers block)) |
"That'd be helpful. I've only tired an old method for testing using an old fashioned microscope to see if I could find any difference... There's not really, but then again I can't tell anyway. Wasn't too bright when it came to science..." It was slightly embarrassing to admit that, but it was true.
|
"That is helpful if you know what to look for, and it does help to know the different codes for the different blood types." he says. "But if I help you I can tell you which kind a body has in it, before you drain it. If you tell me which ones are rare and which aren't I can tell you the more basic types that way."
