The night went on and not much was gained. Stephen continued his training. However, he didn't really progress in getting better. His mind was too distracted by everything that had happened. Stephen did as little as he could to get the training over with.
Behind the stage, training ended and Stephen made for a silent departure. He was feeling an immense hunger. Stephen did bring snacks along with him. He grabbed the small bag from his pocket and scarfed them down. His action of eating very fast was not what caused a physical reaction to them.
Stephen ran over to a nearby bench and puked behind it. His new being could not have anything, other than blood. He should have been thankful that he was only a half-vampire. Being a full one would have caused a much worse reaction. Stephen spun back around and sat down.
