Valkyrie - the Vampire Princess 2
, looking straight, so they would not notice my face. Further along there was a female pre- vampire doing acrobatics on a swing fixed to the ceiling. She was in little clothing. It was part of her show to let her coveted body be seen.
    Several creatures paid attention to her show. I continued walking and stopped in an aisle where there were only two creatures talking to gether. I thought that was a suitable place to satisfy my appetite for blood. I remained standing in the corner waiting for the right moment to strike.
    I was waiting for my prey to be alone. I had no practice in hunting the animals . When I did it the first time I was in the company of my father.
    Everything had been perfect.

At that moment I looked at the entrance to the aisle and saw another creature approaching me. It didn't seem to be one of them, that is, a pre- vampire.
    Its face was covered like mine. There was a black hood on its head.
    I turned my face down and stared at the floor. It was a way I found to go on unnoticed by the stranger approaching. But it did not help me because the figure in black stopped walking in my direction, very close, and then I could see its dark shoes. I had no desire to raise my head up and see what it was. 
     
    I thought I had been discovered. I just did not yet know by whom.
    It was when a withdrawn voice revealed to me the owner of it.
    “Valkyrie!”

I lifted my face and stared up at its face, its gaze more precisely.
    That was the only look that had the power to intimidate me, so I did not react. My thoughts began noticing the forms of his face.
     
    “What are you doing here?” he asked, surprised. “Are you alone?”
    “I need blood ...” I responded.
    My throat almost closed.
    “You cannot stay here!”
    He turned his back to me.
    “Let's get out here!” He said looking straight ahead.
    Even before we walked on, we were surprised by a handful of pre-vampires, coming toward us. Now we were their target. Eros moved backward and I did the same.

But the creatures were getting closer. Eros used his mind’s force as he launched upon them a strong wind that made them move backward.
    This delayed their approach, but it didn’t make them stop coming again.
    Eros took me by the waist and went up with me . We were up high and we flew over the pre- vampires, since we were not in the aisle, but in the hall, where everyone was.
    We went down among them, everything seemed normal. Then we realized they turned against us.
    They came upon us, and this time it was not half a dozen, but hundreds of them.
    “Why are they this way?” I asked holding Eros’s black cape.
    “I don't know,” he answered with his eyes upon the crowd of pre-vampires.

They wanted me. It was clear when five of them held my arm, pulling me to them.
    “We just want her!” One of them said with a distorted voice. The pre- vampires didn’t possess their voices equal to ours or humans. They spoke growling, as if they were dying at that moment.
    A choir was saying the same phrase at the same time:
    “WE NEED HER.”
    I felt the m pull my cape in despair, a group of them tried to bite my arm. Everyone was coming at me at once.
    Everyone in that room was trying to do the same.
    They wanted my flesh, my blood...
    Eros pressed me against him . He only believed in protecting me, since they did not want to do anything with him.
    “Do something! We need to get out of here!” Eros ordered impatiently.

“I cannot!” I screamed without trying to.
    “You can do it!” he insisted.
    I closed my eyes and let my mind act for me. A flash filled the room, like a burst of fireworks. A navy blue light had left everyone stunned. They staggered from one side to the other, almost blind.
    I did not know how I did it . It was all very fast. I realized Eros and I were already outside the town of pre-vampires.
    We were safe on top of a huge rock in the woods in the vicinity of my father’s castle. Both standing, relieved to have escaped from those cannibals
