If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 41
Doctor Frei on the other part smacked a head on the hard, pointed edge of a rock. It was the last vampire that he killed while the left index finger pointing at the upper rooms of the orphanage. Jingyi probably saw him, killing. Doctor Frei has already assumed that Jingyi was not a human. His intuition was not wrong. Jingyis fragrance was mixed with faint vampire and werewolf scent. Affecting Muckbuckles attitude before.
He can not shift back to his human form like this. He needed to protect Xiao Mei Zhi now. Since he was done protecting the orphanage.
The visit and the chase were not only because of Xiao Mei Zhi but it also includes Jingyi. The child was born a werepire and its blood has a natural strong genes. The vampires that were against with it wanted Jingyi gone. Including Xiao Mei Zhi with her tempered scent that vampires needed to dominate in the hybrid world.
Vampires might have find out Xiao Mei Zhis special ability after Misses Zhi died.
But without even knowing that Xiao Mei Zhis camouflage scent being activated, it was hard for Doctor Frei to find her. The scent has a trick by itself. It blends well on the natures smell.
Regardless, the heaven did not allow Xiao Mei Zhi to be killed easily. Hot Blood may be sliding down through her ankle, she did what she could to fight back. Picking anything that she can throw at the creature behind her. Which cause her scent to rapidly change. Fear disappeared, it has been replaced with a virtue. A morality to live. Survival.
Xiao Mei Zhi’s human scent was back. Making Doctor Frei guide himself like a metaphysical rope, leading him towards the path of the tree house that he told Xiao Mei Zhi before. It was got at the center of dense timbers.
Doctor Frei galloped on the woods, his paws slammed into the cold, dirty paths while dodging low-lying obstacles. The forest was silent, and it got him worry more about Xiao Mei Zhi. Silence was another way to describe danger. Then he saw a figure chasing Xiao Mei Zhi while she was crawling away.
She was still recovering from her glass splinter injury even if one month has passed. With the additional pain ,she was active enough to keep on going. Escaping.
Doctor Frei who was waiting for the right time to take action observed the figure. It was another vampire and he knew it was not a weak one to handle with. He keep his body hidden. Then a young person jumped out, facing the opposing opponent that injured Xiao Mei Zhi with an aggressive growl and bared fangs, making the rival startled.
Whoever the young one was, he or she protected Xiao Mei Zhi and Doctor Frei was now supporting the young one. Trapping the creature.
“What do you think you are doing!” The young person bit his or her tongue to make him or her self calm down, then for a moment the smell of fresh blood from Xiao Mei Zhi’s ankle got the person mad.
“You have hurt her?”
With no mercy, the young protector of Xiao Mei Zhi showed a long, sharp claws. Illuminated with broken shadows from the moon being covered by the trees. Doctor Frei saw the expression of a werepire blood, Jingyi.
Xiao Mei Zhi who was drained due to excessive energy use while crawling away finally reached the roots connected to the tree house. She sloped her body against it to benefit her irregular breathing. Her sight were beginning to get clouded and even her hearing has has been impacted on.
Jingyi raced the vampire as it tried to back away but Doctor Frei blocked the way.
“You are not going anywhere!” Jingyi screamed with a threat. After that her claws scratched the vampires’ back like a fruit peeler, the visible sight of blood squirting out as the muscle palpitated in every small movement that the vampire was doing.
“Ahh!” The painful howls, the exquisite reaction released by the vampire made Jingyi smirked. It was not enough. So she goes deeper, poking the Thoracic curve in the spine. The vampire braced for the pain.
The vampire let out another gasp from the pain, shaking from in misery. Jingyi did a major damage. There were a sight of the spinal cord bone, the skin has been thrown somewhere on the path. It was a slow, horrifying scene.
Nevertheless, Doctor Frei advise Jingyi. “Let this vampire live. I will take him with me.” Jingyi halted, glaring at Doctor Frei. Even after a huge loss of blood coming from the vampire, Jingyi knew that the vampire can withstand those scrapes.
“Are you sure you are an adult?” Jingyi sighed with irritation, she knew that the vampire does not need a chance to survive after what happen to Xiao Mei Zhi. And Doctor Frei understands that and so he said, “I have to bait the other vampires out. And you have to protect and help the children on the orphanage.”
“If you will bait the extra ones, it will just cause more conflict. I will surrender myself to them. I know they want me and not her.” Now, Doctor Frei realizes that the isolation and the attitude of Jingyi was to protect the people including the fragile ones that were surrounding her. She already knew at her early age, she has to go through worse than Xiao Mei Zhi.
“You are still young to understand the different types of vampires. Do you think they actually want you? Only you? Xiao Mei Zhi probably got injured because they want her to die with you too. Both of you are important. Death does not deserve either of you. Now go take Xiao Mei Zhi,”
Jingyi who wanted to talk back at Doctor Frei just followed his request, she rushed to were Xiao Mei Zhi passed out. With her strength, she carried Xiao Mei Zhi like a baby in her small hands. Xiao Mei Zhi groaned in pain even she was unconscious.
While Doctor Frei was waiting for Jingyi to lay Xiao Mei Zhi down on his back. It was thinking that it would be a convenient option to do it because he also has a huge wolf form for a beta.
And When Jingyi successfully placed Xiao Mei Zhi at the back of Doctor Frei he glanced at the large, dark smoke spreading throughout the sky to just recognize it came from the orphanage, “Jingyi, something happened at the orphanage!”
Without no delay, Jingyi disappeared quickly leaving Doctor Frei in the woods.
“That kid is really something else,” He whispered before grabbing the shirt of the half-awake vampire hostage using one paw, then he pushed Xiao Mei Zhis arm that falls on the side of his fur using his jutting out nose.
“We will be home soon Xiao Mei Zhi. . My beautiful daughter. just hang on. Please.. We still have a lot to talk about.”
