Chapter 56 Lustful Scent
'Mm, this was good. But now I have to run for school.'
Zoravec was done with food and headed outside the house. He did not intend to bother himself with the ladies and their bickering assuming they would have nothing else to offer. He had more important issues to deal with now since his transformation was not a measly matter.
Zoravec stepped out of the house as the sunlight hit him bright, the myth of the vampires burning in the sun was proven wrong. Although he was well aware of these kinds of rumours since the vampires had been living among them now. Zoravec inhaled deeply in the fresh air with his eyes closed.
It was not long when his head began to explode with a lot of voices haunting his subconscious mind. He could also smell a lot of different kinds of scents from the people. Zoravec staggered and caught the gate of his house to support himself from falling. He did not intend to use his senses for that matter but unconsciously his mind worked towards that matter.
'Ugh, this is bad. This is not what I was thinking, I have to tame my mind in order to prevent my powers from controlling me. If this continues then soon I will be working under the influence of my dark powers.'
He was sure deep down that the origin of his powers was some kind of dark magic. After all, how can that magic be good which was triggered by rage?
Zoravec had a bit of knowledge about the origins and types of magics. It was all because the vampires introduced a curriculum for the humans, in which they deliberately glorified themselves. It was also the blessing of the course that a dark image of vampires was created in the minds of humans.
All those lengths just to ensure that the humans would fear the vampires since their origin was dark. However that worked so well and in the expected way. That's why Zoravec was sure that his powers were of dark magic too because he was half vampire. Although there were a few things which he could not understand or had any knowledge of.
Nonetheless, he inhaled deeply and diverted his mind from focusing on the things which caused him that terrible headache. He felt a bit better after a while and shook his head slightly until his vision grew clear. Zoravec had a lot on his hand to figure out first and for that going out was required.
"Argh, I have to go to school first. Finding out about Lyra is more important right now."
He clutched the bag and began to walk towards the end of the block. Zoravec' house was at the end of that block and the bus stop was near the junction. After the vampiric apocalypse the humans restarted the civilizations and rebuilt everything.
Luckily the vampires did not destroy everything which came in between their way. Because it was obvious that the humans were weak creatures and could not stand any chance in front of vampires. Thus, using a few tricks and showcasing minor magical powers did the deed. Most areas were still unscathed which involved the place where Zoravec lived.
The blazing sun was melting everything as he ran to the end of the block. The boundary walls and fences of the houses were decorated, along with the huge light poles which were right outside every house. Zoravec ran on the pavement, totally engrossed in his own thoughts when somebody appeared in front of him from the turn of the end block.
"Argh, what the heck!?"
He fell back over his butt and groaned when a female voice resonated at the same time. Zoravec immediately lifted his head and glanced at the lady, right in front of him a petite girl was sitting on the ground.
'Who is she? I have seen her somewhere, but I don't seem to remember where.'
Zoravec was in his own thoughts while he looked at the girl as she rubbed her head. They both had bumped into each other on heads because the girl appeared without any warning or anything similar.
He could not stop himself immediately and bumped his head into hers, it was luck that she pushed him back which caused the fall. Zoravec was still comprehending where he saw her when the girl dusted off her clothes and gathered her brown paper bags.
"I am so sorry, I should have been careful with my way."
The woman appeared to be a few years older to him, but that was not what he thought at that moment. As soon as she started to speak and moved around to gather her paper bags, Zoravec could smell some strange scent.
He inhaled that strange smell which somehow felt pleasant to his nostrils. Zoravec could not stop himself from wondering what it could be since it was a bit familiar yet different. However the girl cast a meek look at him and immediately averted her stare as she continued to pick up.
Whereas Zoravec was so captivated by the whole sight just because it felt dreamy. The floating of hair due to the breeze which came out of nowhere enhanced the whole scenario. Zoravec felt a strange kind of adrenaline rush in his body upon sniffing that scent. It was intoxicating his mind and somehow his body was reacting to it.
'Oh shit! No, no I can't let her see me like this. I am not a pervert, definitely not.'
He immediately reached for his bag and placed it in between his legs to hide his hardness. Although he was not having a boner, but the gradual smell of the scent was driving him crazy.
Zoravec saw her moving towards him on her knees, he could not move or refute. The girl leaned in and picked up the paper bag which fell right near Zoravec. It was the moment when he inhaled a pungent puff of the scent and his eyes glowed red.
