Valkyrie - the Vampire Princess 2
face me. Probably Eros thought I was being a
    burden in his life. Those thoughts made me feel worse. I had lost not only his love but his friendship.
    The zeal he had for me when we were on Earth. All his approaches had always been very important in my life.
    Perhaps I wouldn't have them any longer.
     

Chapter 19
     

Vincent requested my presence in the main room of his castle. When I arrived, my eyes widened in surprise in the direction of the wild animals that were in his company.
    My father was sitting on his armchair and on his lap was a white tiger . Between his feet was a huge snake wrapped around them and on his right shoulder was an owl.
     
    Well, the snake I knew it was Bizak. The owl also, it was the unmistakable Eros. But the white tiger, which was white in name only, because all the wild animals in the castle were as dark as night, who was it?
    They took a human form, so I approached my father.
    Valeska was the white tiger.
    It was as I had imagined.
    The three servants of my father remained standing at his side.
    “You have called for me?” I said.

“Yes!” my father said. “D o you like my collection of wild animals?”
    “That's why you call ed for me?”
    “D on't you like what you see?” He shook his hand.
    “Can you g et straight to the point?”
    “I want to see what you can become.”
     
    “How can I do this?” I asked.
    “Think of an animal that you wish to be.”
    “Uh ... what should I do now?” I asked,.thinking quickly.
    “Did you think of one?” he asked.
    “Yes!” I responded rapidly.
    Vincent got up and stood in front of me.
    He held my arms gently.

“Close your eyes and control the strength of your mind, with the purpose of your desire to be accomplished.”
    I did everything my master - father ordered me.
    Then I narrowed my eyes and focused on what I wished to be.
    Seconds later , my body became a dark image, an animal with fur and yellow eyes.
    I had turned into a black panther.
    “Magnificent!”
    My father and master exclaimed, pleased with my choice. I was an extraordinary animal.
    Everybody in there was watching my performance.
    I walked from one side to other, rapidly, my claws held firmly onto the ceiling wall. I only stopped making my acrobatics when I felt tired.

Then I stopped walking in the middle of the great room and came back into my human form.
    It required an extraordinary amount of energy and I had little left.
     
      
     

Chapter 20
     

I walked toward the halls of the castle. The silence was a constant presence there. I locked my steps and put my hand on the wall, trying to keep my body up. I felt weakness. I needed blood. I needed to consume the blood of the ‘pre- vampires’.
     
    My thirst for blood was such that I was having mirages of blood everywhere, on the wall, the ceiling and on the floor.
    After that I decided to go through the door that separated my father’s castle from the ‘pre- vampires’ town.
    I disobeyed my father’s orders. He told me I should always be accompanied by someone and I should never walk alone there.
     

I paced through the deserted streets of the place and saw no creature walking by me. In that case I continued my journey. I was attentive to everything around me, and then I looked from one side to another as I still was apprehensive at my surroundings.
    I saw a nightclub, a kind of club.
    There were several of them. I did not think I would be running a risk of going in there. I thought only of blood. I stopped walking at the nightclub door and put my black hood over my head to hide my face. My eyes had changed color and my teeth grew out so I easily sensed the smell of blood.
    I closed my eyes and breathed deeply to better feel the irresistible aroma of blood.
    I finally plucked up the courage and entered the site through the main door.

It was a dark and narrow place. It was packed with pre- vampires. They would gather there to dance and drink. They had the same human needs. I slowly infiltrated the crowd
