Feronica could only be silent to hear the words of Stephen (not his acquaintance), a very straightforward and clear confession.
Hearing such a thing did not really make Feronica surprised, although there was still a sense of surprise too, but now she could digest this calmly.
Seeing the appearance of this man does make anyone stunned (in the sense of silence because of fear).
And now he hears this guy drinking blood? It is surprising but not too strange considering its appearance is far from ordinary words.
'A creature that drinks blood? Is it possible....?' Feronica thought about this, so she remembered the rumors circulating in the village. Although some time has passed but still the village rumors are timeless.
'I heard the werewolf that people tell me also likes to drink blood. How can it be the same?' Feronica tried to reason this more calmly.
What makes sense to explain this? Who exactly is this guy?
"That shirt....?" Spontaneous Feronica saw how the clothes worn by the man of the same name with his partner iu, were all black. Feels familiar.
Feronica for a moment observed how the clothes used by this man, and indeed from the pattern and color were really similar to the black suit that his acquaintances always wore.
"HM?!" The man immediately growled and stared intently at Feronica, Feronica could only accept that gaze with a forced little smile.
"Sorry...." Feronica did not expect just by paying attention can make someone-or a grandfather? It can be offended like this.
"Man.. You have no right to carelessly watch me. Get down on your knees first and ask permission!" The man rebuked Feronica, who now could only calm her heart again for hearing this speech.
Although there are many possibilities that can happen about who exactly this man named Stephen is. It could be that he is a human with high magic power until in the end his power changed his appearance to this. And the other possibility does have something to do with the theory he previously thought.
'Is it possible in front of me this is....?' Feronica's guess is getting stronger, and if it's true, it feels like she needs help as soon as possible.
How not? Now in front of him there is a creature that is likely not human in which he is a real embodiment of the story that he had heard from many people.
It does not seem strange if he encounters something surprising like this, he has begun to be immune because indeed these strange things continue to appear lately.
Crutches....
Feronica did not feel like her hand could be moved as soon as possible, she was still stiff and did not know how much longer she would have to wait.
"UH... Man you can't budge" Stephen's words stopped halfway. Feronica did not understand why she looked like it was difficult to talk and her breath was panting, but before that it was not so.
"I'm sorry, what's your master talking about?" Feronica is now trying to communicate with the man, at least waiting for help from others to come, because it is impossible that no one is aware of this, right?
"Khhh...." Stephen only gasped for breath without an answer there, and some time later it seemed like Feronica heard something.
Crutches....
A crisp sound like something was heard here, Feronica tried to pay attention again to how the man was, and match him with what was going on here.
"Master?!" In the end, Feronica realized, her stiff hand instead of being able to move back, she said, even now he can see his right wrist strengthened and also a vein in his hand that indicates he is releasing energy now.
"How can you?" Feronica did not understand, whereas before she could slightly move her head, but why now even her other limbs did not obey her orders?
Feronica even though she did not exert her energy at all, she just waited for her leg body to be moved back, but instead of stiff body disappeared even more so.
"Khh guhh...." The man began to shake his legs, his hands were trying to release the strong grip of the girl, but his power had not returned.
'W-What am I supposed to do?!" Feronica began to panic at this, Stephen was even more tortured and if not immediately stopped then something bad will soon happen.
Feronica knew before that strange things had happened again that caused her to lose consciousness, and the most likely thing to happen if seen now was her who was fighting against this man in front of her.
Indeed that is the most reasonable possibility, if not then why when he realized instead was holding the neck of another person? This pain and ache and stiffness are the result of when he was unconscious.
'Come! I don't want to harm him!' Feronica continued to be determined in her heart while trying to get this hardened fist back to normal.
Why is he still unable to control his body? Though all over his body now there is no sign of the strange and also tidal there is also another voice that is in him. Is there any other reason why he could lose this ability of control of his body?
Usually when Feronica is aware of something, her body will follow her. If the pain can be felt now then why can this happen?
Feronica tried to look inside her, pondering deeply about this matter. However, he must be able to stop this action.
....
'The reason why I'm here....' Feronica went back to the beginning again, in order to make things clear again.
'The girl. I can feel her presence here. she should still be safe now....'
Feronica felt in her desire to protect the little girl she first met tonight. And to realize that he must indeed get rid of every danger that exists.
And that means....
"!"
Feronica could feel there was another part in her that felt that everything she saw was not enough. Whatdoes thatmean? As long as the disturbance that caused the girl was in danger then it should be dealt with immediately, in any way.
So if he is concerned with what is happening, then this action is a form of his own desire, who wants the danger to disappear immediately.
'ASTAGA!' The new Feronica was aware that there was another part in her that like that could only be jolted, she did not deny it. It was from the beginning that he was serious about protecting the little girl.
Although the voice within him was gone but did not guarantee everything was over, there was still an initial determination that until now was still being carried out. A desire so strong that he could no longer control himself.
'So that's the reason?' Feronica got enlightenment here, the reason why she could not control herself because her own determination was still strong until now.
Strong determination plus his impatient self is a bit strange to experience, but Feronica now has to accept what is going on here.
'I know how much I try to move my body, if my initial determination is still there, it's all for nothing....' Feronica began to get serious, now she had no choice but to reconcile with the other parts in her.
'I don't know what's going to happen....' Honestly, Feronica had no plans for how to deal with the situation now, considering that until now there had been no visible signs of help. So you can be sure he has to go through everything himself.
What could happen next? Since Feronica was unconscious earlier, then she did not have any clue about this man. It is certain that he is not a friend here, and if he takes his hand off him, is he prepared for the consequences?
For the time being he had not felt any change in aura from this man, it was still normal as usual, even though the air felt from him was quite concentrated.
If now he released his grip, then for just a moment he still had time to carry out his next plan, but considering that he was not a human and had a unique aura of strength. Anything can happen next, right?
So now Feronica had only two options, ignoring her determination and releasing this man of the same name as her partner at the risk of endangering herself and the little girl she wanted to save.
Or the second choice where he still maintained his initial determination and put his safety and that of the little girl, which meant that this was the end for this man before him.
'What should I do?!'
