Cursed blood

Clara stopped thinking about how to get out for the moment and just listened to everything that happened around her. She never thought that lying in the garden and doing nothing would be so exciting.

Second of laying she turned into the minutes which slowly turned into the hours. Clara could not do anything but lay in the half-burned garden from the snow which was not in reality even a little bit pretty and beautiful. She had no will to stop and do anything. Despite being completely naked and covered in blood, she just waited until this strange state of bliss calmed and she would be able to get out of this place into the Venezia and go get the money she saw when she was drinking the blood.

As she butchered the poor blood bag dry, she could see flashes of his life, and with that the money that he tried to pay her off to let him die.

“Vilate Cardiano, son of Pietro IV Candiano. A prominent member of the Candiano family, involved in Venetian politics and part of a family with significant historical influence.”

“I want to go back and see for myself. Maybe I can steal that money and live like them.”

Sudden thoughts surfaced in Clara’s mind as she tried to remember everything that she knew from his memories. To her surprise, as she was thinking about Vilate Cardiano, something changed.

Clara was not able to find out what, but once she was done lying, she went to clean her face in the seawater from the blood. What was waiting for her there was something which made her nearly crazy.

As soon as she saw the reflection of her face on the water's surface, her heart stopped heating.

“What the fuck? Why do I look like that piece of shit?”

Clara was terrified as she saw instead of her face, the face of the Vilate Cardiano, who she killed. Unlike him, she had still her long, white hair, but a different face. She tried to touch that face and found out that it was just an illusion. As soon as she touched her face, the face on the water's surface changed to hers, deathly snow white.

She didn’t know what to think about it, but she was certain that this was her now new face with which she would need to live for eternity. This sudden finding of the face changing made her extremely happy. She knew that this must be one of her powers, because she could change how she looked, despite knowing, that her hair and the rest of her body would stay the same.

Clara didn’t know if it was good or useless, but knowing where the Cardino family money was located was too much for the sharply enhanced mind of the fed Clara, who was right in the middle of nothing with nothing only the corpse in the bedroom.

Clara stop thinking once again and as time passed, the sights of the morning sun arrived at the horizon sun started poking from behind the island, which was for the first time extremely fascinating for Clara. She was happy to know that she just waited the whole night ready to do something. She thought, that the new day would be much more beautiful than the day before, but she felt not very bad. On the other hand, as soon as the sun switched with the moon, she didn’t feel good at all. Without any more waiting she got resolute to start the new day.

“Let’s get into the city right now!”

Clara jumped off the ground ready to leave, but as soon as she stood up, half of her body was in the way of the sunlight instantly burning. Clara hid as fast as possible, so she would not be able to be burned by the sun anymore.

Clara was crying in the shadow corner of the villa looking at the garden which was not turned into a burning inferno for Clara. She was sitting in the shadow looking as the sun was slowly swallowing more and more of the garden starting to uncover her comfortable shadow and slowly forcing her to change the location to hide somewhere else.

Clara decided to change the location back inside the villa, as she knew that she was safe there. Without much thought, she went back into the villa and went back into the bedroom. She crawled back into the bed and looked at Vilate Cardiano.

He looked quite bad as his head looked completely unnatural. Clara sat right in from of him on the other side of the room and didn’t know what to do. Her back was already healed, but she still felt that disgusting smell of burning flesh, that she wanted to through up.

“Fuck! What the fuck should I do? Can you tell me?”

Clara looked at Vilate like she wanted him to help him, but he was currently unresponsive to her. The other problem with that was the fact, that she lost the whole night and she felt once again starting got get hungry and wanted to taste some blood.

The world around Clara starts to slow at the same speed as it was in the night after she drank the blood. She started to feel more and more depressed, and that sound which she heard before started to make her more and more angry. It didn’t take long before Clara decided to do something about the noise and started to look for a better place to wait until the sun went down.

Clara started to explore the inner parts of the villa and discovered that there was nothing. Everything that could be used by her was gone and under the villa was the same empty dungeon full of corpses. At least she decided to wait in the dungeon, because it was the only place, where she didn’t hear the annoying noises from all around.

Time inside the dungeon started to feel much more pleasant in the way, that Clara felt much more safe here than out there near the sun. As Clara found time here was the same as boring as everywhere else so she decided to sleep. It was quite hard, but as she slept, time started to fly and it was night.

As soon as Clara woke up and felt, that it was finally night, she started her transfer back to the city. Despite being not a very good swimmer, she found out, that playing with the fish was much faster and energy saving as she didn’t need to resurface for a long time to get fresh air.

Clara was swimming with insane speed and in no time, so saw fish boats slowly moving out on the open sea to fish. As they were moving in the direction of the sea, Clara got her urge for blood, so she postponed the return back into reality and started to pick her meal.
