Before Zack returned to his house, Max immediately took Jade to her room and laid her on her bed. He gave his vampire blood to his girlfriend so that the wound that cut her immediately disappeared and woke her up quickly too.
His face showed an expression of hatred towards Sherly. His nose was puffy. He wanted to chase after her but he couldn't leave Jade unconscious.
"Come on, wake up, Jade!" he hoped anxiously.
Even though he knew Jade would wake up soon, he was still worried. His head kept thinking about how Sherly got into her house. But the good thing was, Max came at the right time even though he was almost too late.
"Max," a small voice from Jade was heard.
She looked at her boyfriend who had a panicked expression on her. She smiled and touched his hand. "What happened?" asked Jade.
Jade didn't remember all yet that Sherly hurt her. He then told her everything and she started to remember everything. Her eyes widened and got up from her bed. She saw herself in the mirror to see herself.
"Am I good right now?" asked Jade.
"You are. But, are you really don't feel anything?"
Jade shook her head. She didn't feel any pain but was a bit scared that Sherly may come again to her.
"Don't worry, Ace, Robbin, and Teddy will look after you around here. Now, I have to go because Zack will be here soon," said Max.
Max grabbed Jade's lips and kissed her. It was long enough that he felt he could barely control himself when something about sex enveloped him.
Max came down from Jade's bedroom window and away from her house. Jade immediately locked all access windows and doors of her house. She knew that her father would have a spare key with him and would not have to worry about how her father would get in.
Jade couldn't sleep. She lay down and heard the sound of the door opening. Knowing that it must be Zack, she can only breathe a sigh of relief and try to pretend to be asleep. Because Zack will check her soon in her room.
The door is opened. Zack looked at his daughter and around her room. On his shoulder he carried a large rifle loaded with silver bullets. That man called vampire hunter sighed and closed the door to Jade's room again.
After that, a knock on her bedroom window made Jade gasp in surprise. She immediately got up and checked who it was. Her smile immediately appeared and then she opened the window of her room.
Mara jumped inside and smiled at her. "Is it okay if I'm here taking care of you? Instead of me being with the guys?"
Jade nodded. "It's okay. I feel happy instead. But isn't there Teddy, and you with him can't be separated?"
Mara chuckled. "We had some time together, Jade. By the way, how are you? Is your body feeling alright?"
"You and Max asked the same thing, but it was just a scratch. Wouldn't it have any effect?" Jade asked.
"If the wound is too deep, of course, it has an effect, Jade. You can become a half-human vampire. It's called a dhampir. But I'm not sure that that title is suitable for you. Because dhampirs exist because of the marriage of humans and vampires," explained Mara.
Jade didn't understand why there had to be those terms and it sounded so complicated. But if she becomes a vampire even if only half, somehow she feels happy.
"We'll check and confirm on you in the next few days, Jade," said Mara.
"Wouldn't it be good news if I became a half-vampire?" Jade asked innocently.
"Jade, what you think is good, doesn't mean it will be good for us. Soon you will know something," said Mara informed.
***
Three days in a row after the incident, Jade felt her throat burning and always needed cold water to drink. She almost finished the drink that was in the refrigerator when Zack wasn't around or quietly.
All of Zack's family pay attention to detail. Nothing too serious, but they also felt anxious as Jade felt thirsty all the time.
Even Jade still has to be supervised by all of them in turn. Her body felt better, but her throat always felt hot all the time.
Coming home from college, Max invites her to his house. They found a solution that might work on Jade's throat,
"Oh, what's wrong?" Jade asked, looking at all of Max's family. They all looked at Jade who swallowed a few times.
Wenny approached and brought the blood bag in front of her. "You should try it for your dry throat, Jade," he said.
Jade looked around her and looked at her boyfriend as well. She chuckled in a nervous voice. "I'm fine. The cold water is enough to make my throat cold again," Jade said, meaning to politely refuse.
"But it's only temporary, isn't it, Jade?" said Mara to confirm again.
Jade's shoulders slumped as she forgot that Mara knew better about her activities at home. Because now she really looks after Jade on Max's command who is still busy looking for Sherly.
Max's face looks tense and he just stares at her. Jade knew that her boyfriend was quite shaken by what was going on.
Finally, Jade grabbed the blood bag and removed the lid. "Well, I'll ... give it a try," Jade said.
Nervously and slowly, she began to try. Drink little by little the blood and swallow it. It didn't take long for the blood bag to be clean. Her face immediately looked so fresh and her eyes looked at them all. "Feels good. My throat is colder than usual," Jade informed them.
note:
- dhampirs are creatures that are the result of a union between vampires and humans.
- just searched the article that when someone got bitten/hurt by a vampire, the throat feels dry and thirsty all the time. it is because the virus of the vampire is already inside the human body.
