章節 319: **Ch 334: Took the Pain Away
"Aaah!" My body shot up from the mattress, and I found myself being held super tight in Kai's arms.
"It's ok. I'm here," he calmed me, trying to be tranquil like a cloudless blue sky.
I groaned in pain from the throbbing pang I felt along my neck and on my ankle. On top of that, my right hand was bloody.
"Orlando..."
"I know." Kai hushed me as he raked his fingers through the roots of my hair. "He's a dream walker, but you're safe now."
"The babies!" I panicked, feeling my stomach, and I felt them kicking around.
"They're fine." Kai settled me.
I exclaimed emotionally, "But he burned them!"
"Orlando didn't hurt them because they weren't sleeping," Kai briefly explained, "Let me get you cleaned up"
I hissed in pain once he lifted me like a princess and carried me into the bathroom. In the mirror, I caught a glimpse of my neck to see smeared blood on the area where Orlando bit into my skin, and my ankle had a burnt blister on it from the fire. Kai set me on the thick rim of the Jacuzzi bathtub, and then he got the first aid kit from underneath the cabinet sink. He took out what he needed, and he then came over to kneel on the floor in front of me.
"Luckily, he didn't use any venom when he bit you in the dream. Then your hand is only injured because you used it to hit him. You never used the object you imagined." Kai elucidated when he cleaned the blood off my neck as I hissed in pain. Afterward, he added an ointment to the two puncture wounds. Next, he moved on to my injured hand, and he wrapped it in gauze after he cared for the cuts.
"How could he hurt me like this in a dream? Other times he entered my dreams, I didn't even notice," I asked him as he was spraying a burning spray on my ankle, which took the pain away.
Kai replies, "Our gifts have levels of strength. When Orlando entered your dreams beforehand, he used a weaker strength, where only a copy of his form or the spirit of him entered your dream, so you wouldn't notice anything strange on the outside of your body after you woke up. This time, Orlando fully entered his body into your dream. Thankfully, he didn't kill you as well."
"If it's only a copy of him, then does that mean he wasn't really there?" I questioned, and I prayed my understanding of this was correct.
Kai sighed as he stood up to put things away. "No, he was there. He just wasn't using the full power of his gift. Whatever happened in the dream did occur." He clarified as he threw the rappers and the tissues in the trash can.
"That means..." I didn't want to say it.
"If he slept with you in the dream. Then that's the reality of it," Kai bitterly replied.
"I feel violated." I voiced with a tremble. "Yet, I remained a virgin."
Kai softly spoke. "You should feel violated because that's what he did to you. And I already explained that last part."
"You should have told me the truth about him," I uttered, barely able to breathe.
Kai exhaled, and then he sat next to me on the tub and overlapped his arm on my shoulders, and he replied with a question. "Because it was safer for you not to know. Besides, would you have believed me if I did?"
"Maybe," I uttered as he gave me that doubtful look. "Maybe not at first. But I would have come around to the idea that it was true, like I've done since I found out vampires exist. Like how I've adjusted to the fact I am pregnant with three immortal babies."
Kai breathed out through his nostrils before he brought up a point, "Like how you couldn't fool Tyler, you wouldn't have been able to fool Orlando."
I frowned to understand what he meant, and then I questioned. "Did you hear what was said between Orlando and me in my mind?"
"I only heard what he said after I started to call you to wake you up," Kai clarified.
"He said his grandma and his Aunt delivered me." I frowned. "He claimed they've been there since the day I was conceived." I blinked up at him with watery eyes. "Is that true?"
"From my understanding, it is," Kai revealed. "They've been plotting everything for a long time. My family didn't know it was you until it was too late."
That was a hard one to swallow before I asked. "Since Orlando is a dream walker, how can I stop him from attacking me in my sleep?"
Kai replied after he was done momentarily thinking. "There is only one way to defeat his gift."
"And that would be?"
"You have to change your sleeping patterns," he recommended. "There isn't a thing he doesn't know about you, so we have to throw him off."
"How are we going to do that?" I peered at him like he was crazy.
"We're going to need a lot of caffeinated coffee," Kai spoke my language when he outwardly mulled over his ideas.
"Are you suggesting we give three unborn vamp babies caffeine?" I implied as if he had gone insane, and he grinned.
"Indeed, I am," he smirked rather deviantly.
"I'll be peeing like a mad woman once they start using my bladder like it's an indoor trampoline," I complained, not liking this idea.
Kai cracked up as he stood. "At least it will keep you awake." I rolled my eyes when he walked out.
Just before I left the bathroom, I saw the fang marks on my neck. "How can we cover these marks on my neck?" I asked. "People will question me about it if I go out in public. Zoey isn't home to heal me."
Kai chuckled amused. "Fang bites aren't visible to the human eye."
"Then why do I see it?" I raised my brow. "The same way you can see monsters from other worlds," Kai verified. "You have a supernatural vision, whereas no one else does. Not even granted humans have your abilities."
"I'm surprised since those monsters make sounds," I stated as Kai sat at the front of the mattress.
He explained. "In most cases, those monsters have killed people. Many disappeared by becoming their meal. The survivors will always tell a wild tail about how something they never saw was stalking them. Or they smelled a foul odor in the woods because a vampire killed one and left its body to rot into the soil."
"Well, I guess this summons up the Bigfoot Legend," I concluded, and Kai laughed, which I was impressed he knew about Bigfoot.
