Chapter 13: Chapter 13: examining
The Second Attendant
Rushing upstairs with the girl in my arms I ran straight to Veronica.
"Veronica I need some help here. " I shouted, coming right up to her.
Veronica looked at me. Then once she saw the girl cradled in my arms she instantly began examining her.
Raising her hand, she conjured a spell circle over the girls body and scan her from head to her toe.
When that was finished Veronica shook her head.

I knew what that meant.
This girl is going to die, and nothing we could do would change it.
"What's the problem?" I asked her.
"She's lost too much blood. Not only from her gut wound but also from her other wounds.
So even if we use healing magic, she won't recover fast enough. Not only that, but her vitality is fading fast.
Sorry, but it's over. " Veronica explained to me.
Except it's not.
There is still one way to save this girl.
I looked Veronica in the eye. "What if you turn her?" I questioned.
As soon as I did Veronica looked at me like I was crazy.
"Are you being serious right now?" Veronica asked me.
"Deadly. " I said.
Tonight is the night of the full moon after all.
It's the reason why we waited so long to move on this place. We wanted to take out all the vampires involved in this group in one fell swoop.
We never expected to find all the humans dead though.
Well almost all of them. Since I intend to save this girl.
She said to wants to live, and I intend to make that happen.
I could see it in her eyes.
And as someone who has experienced death before I know what I'm talking about.
"No. " Veronica said.
"The risks are too great. "
"But the benefits are just as great. If you turn her and she survives then the increase in vitality and her new body will allow her to live.
" I explained.
"And if she doesn't at best she'll die immediately, and at worst she'll become an undead. Is that what you want?" Veronica questioned me.
"It's not. " I said.
"Even so I'm willing to take the risk. I am also willing to assume full responsibility if anything goes wrong.
I will even kill her myself if she comes an undead. " I said serisouly.
That is how strong my resolve is about this matter.
"Kufa I-"
"It. .
. .
Do it. .

" The girl in my arms suddenly said. "L.

nt. " She wheezed out, before her eyes closed again.
"You heard her. She wants it.
" I said to Veronica. "So please, do it.
" I asked her.
Veronica looked at me for a few seconds, then she sighed. "Fine, but remember what you just said.
"
"Of course I won't forget. " I said.
If I am going to be a leader then I need to keep my words as much as possible.
Words are bond after all.
Placing the girl down on the ground I stepped back.
As soon as I did Veronica opened her mouth and elongated her fangs. She then sunk them directly in the girl's neck.
Once that happened a blood red magic circle appeared a few feet in the air above the two of them.
It then stayed there for several moments until finally it dissipated.
Once it did Veronica removed her fangs from the girls neck.
A few seconds after this took place, the girls eyes shot open and the color of irsises started rapidly switching between blue and red, until finally it settled on red. Her ears also became elongated, and I heard her fangs puncturing their way out of her gums and into her mouth.
"Agh!" The girl started screaming.
I didn't even flinch. I've read up about the vampire turning process and learned this is a normal part of it.
When a person is turned their body goes through immense changes all in the span of a few moments.
No one could stay quiet through all that pain.
Or at least no one that I know could.
"Agh!!!" The girl screamed louder and louder. Her body flailing about, until finally she just stopped all at once, going completely silent when she did.
A minute after this happened her eyes shot open and she looked directly into mine. She then put a huge smile on her face and said some words to me.
And although nothing came out of her mouth, I read her lips and knew exactly what she said.
Thank you.
Seeing that I knew I made the right decision.
Once the girl told me "Thank you" she instantly passed out again.
As soon as that happened Veronica started administering first-aid treatment. Since the girl now has a vampires physiology her vitality is through the roof, which means she is going to be just fine.
And that I accomplished my goal.
Bringing a little light to this horror show.
----------------------------------------------------
Sitting in my chair, I looked at the girl I saved.
It's been three days since the lake house mission came to close.
As soon the girl was stable enough for transport Dominque and I teleported with her to the border of our factions territory and then rushed straight to the castle's medical ward.
We didn't know if she had suffered any complications or long lasting effects from everything she had been through before we found her.
But once the doctors gave her a thorough they said she was fine, and that there were no lasting complications.
Physically at least.
Her body is in pristine condition. All of her wounds have closed, and her transition into a turned vampire went off without a hitch.

As for her psychological state however, that's a whole different ball game.
She did suffer through a horribly traumatic experience after all. Some people don't ever recover from shit like that.
But since she's been asleep for the past three days we really don't know anything at all.
