Chapter 254 Becoming A Vampire!
[ Scarlet Heart: Vampire\'s Organization Secret Headquarters… ]
Grandpa Roland was now transferred to a special chamber inside the Scarlet Heart Headquarters. Lady Victoria took him from the Golden City Hospital without the knowledge of his family and relatives.
All the preparation was done. Victoria Bancroft was hell-bent on turning Grandpa Roland into a vampire. This was the only solution she could think of to sustain his life. They needed him to influence his grandchildren to side with the vampires!
Victoria was now standing next to Grandpa Roland\'s bed. He was still connected to a life support machine. Another vampire was there with her– her right-hand man, Ulysses.
"Lady Victoria, are you sure about this? Are we not consulting General Raizel? We should wait for him to decide what we should do for Roland Zhou." Ulysses wanted to make sure that this decision would be fine for Raizel. He had a say on this matter. He was the one closest to Roland Zhou.
"We are running out of time. Raizel will understand. And I believe he will not mind me doing this because this is for the sake of the vampire clan. Besides, he is not here. He has a secret mission."
When Victoria said this, Ulysses could only follow her will. He would always support Victoria\'s decision. Though not yet official, they already considered Victoria as the Queen of Vampires.
"You may now leave," Victoria said in her commanding tone. She wanted to turn Grandpa Roland alone. She would do it by herself so that Grandpa Roland would be under her.
Ulysses bowed his head before heading out of the chamber. Victoria focused her attention on the old man lying on the bed. It did not take long when Victoria revealed her fangs. She held the old man\'s chin, tilting his head to the side.
She bent down and bit him on his neck, burying her fangs into his skin.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The monitor connected to Grandpa Roland\'s chest made a loud sound as Victoria bit him. Seconds later, Victoria withdrew her fangs and watched Grandpa Roland\'s body reaction.
Soon, Grandpa Roland\'s body convulsed horrendously.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The monitor continued to resound and his heart rate increased before it finally dropped. Victoria frowned as she watched Grandpa Roland trembling on that bed.
Dark veins appeared on his neck and Grandpa Roland\'s complexion became paler. This time Victoria removed the oxygen mask connected to his mouth. Using her sharp nails, she cut her left wrist to give Grandpa Roland a drop of her blood. This was the final step in turning Grandpa Roland into a vampire.
Grandpa Roland, who was in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes. His emerald eyes were long gone. They were replaced by crimson ones!
Grandpa Roland brought his hands on his neck. He felt an intense hunger along with a burning sensation spreading all over his body. He felt like he was about to explode.
He winced and groaned in extreme pain. He rolled over the bed, still holding his throat. Grandpa Roland didn\'t know what he should do to ease the pain. He couldn\'t explain what was happening to him.
His memories were also in shambles. They kept flashing in his mind. Later on, each scene was being erased from his brain and all he could see was darkness.
His lips moved but his voice didn\'t come out. Victoria continued watching him, trying to figure out what he was saying. She knew that it would take time before the excruciating pain would subside.
"H-Hungry…" Grandpa Roland blurted out when he stopped moving on his bed. His scarlet eyes moved and fell on Victoria\'s wrist.
Her cut was already healed but there was still blood left on her hand. Grandpa Roland\'s attention was caught by the scent of Victoria\'s blood.
"B-Blood… T-Thirsty…" he mumbled again in his hoarse voice.
"Mr. Roland Zhou… this is me, Victoria. Do you remember me?" Victoria finally spoke up, asking Grandpa Roland. She wanted to know if he was able to maintain his sane mind after being turned into a vampire.
Victoria\'s eyes widened in horror when Grandpa Roland suddenly jumped off the bed and lunged at her. He wanted more of her blood. He was hungry!
But before he could touch her, Victoria already grabbed his neck, stopping him from making another move.
\'Damn! This is not good. It seems that he lost his mind.\'
Grandpa Roland kept trying to struggle and attack Victoria. But she completely restrained him. She was more powerful than him.
"Stop, Roland!" She ordered him while looking straight into his eyes. She was trying to control him and put him into submission by compelling him.
Grandpa Roland finally stopped moving. And he suddenly collapsed. His body was still weak and adjusting to his new form. He had become a vampire. But the transformation made him a bloodsucker with no rationality! He had become a monster!
\'Damn! This is not the result I am expecting!\' Victoria was very disappointed.
Bam!
The door suddenly slid open and someone entered the chamber.
"Victoria! What have you done?!" Raizel\'s cold voice was heard at the back. He darted his gaze back and forth between Victoria and Grandpa Roland. He had a dark expression on his face, a sign that he was unhappy with what he was witnessing right now.
Victoria was surprised when she saw him with an angry look in his eyes. \'Why is he mad?\'
"I just did what I had to. Roland Zhou must not die as we need him. This is the only way to–" Victoria was not able to finish her words as Raizel grabbed her neck, shoving her into the wall. He was furious, his crimson eyes burning with rage.
"Who told you to touch Roland Zhou!" Raizel said through his gritted teeth.
He was furious as he knew the consequences of Victoria\'s reckless action. He was concerned about the reaction of Kira once he found out what they did to Marceline\'s grandfather.
"You made a great mistake, Victoria!" He uttered meaningfully, thinking about Kira\'s rage. He knew that Kira would get mad at them because of this.
Meanwhile, Victoria couldn\'t understand why Raizel was acting like this. He was literally strangling her right now. "L-Let g-go…" Victoria held his hands, trying to remove them from her neck.
Realizing that he was hurting Victoria, Raizel immediately released her. He was carried away by his feelings. He couldn\'t help it. Kira just warned him not to touch the people close to Marceline.
"Cough! Cough!" Victoria glared at Raizel. She wanted to beat the hell out of him. "How dare you attack me like that?! Why are you getting so worked up about this? This is for the sake of our clan!"
SMASH
Raizel punched the wall to release his stress. He was now being problematic. How would he explain this to Marceline and Kira? They turned Grandpa Roland into a vampire without Marceline\'s consent!
"You should have waited for me before doing this! You took Roland Zhou without the knowledge of his family. Do you want to create a conflict between the Zhou Family and our vampire clan?" Raizel was scolding Victoria.
"The Zhou Family already sided with the werewolf clan!!! Haven\'t you heard about it? The werewolves made his grandchildren to be the new gatekeepers!" She spat back at him.
"He still has another granddaughter! And we can\'t afford to offend her!"
