Chapter 327 Rectifying the errors

Music Recommendation: What the wind brought- Francis Wells

-

As days passed by, in Veteris, many things started to settle down, and things were back to how it was many years ago. Under the pressure of the Elder vampire Azazel Donovan, the hunters had finally decided to sign the agreement that Eloise Dante had sent them.

Everyone knew that the peace that had been offered wasn't for eternity as the hunters still wanted to kill the vampires and the other beings whom they had witnessed on the night of ambush. But for the vampires, this peace of agreement was more than enough. To fix the university back to its previous self so that once the term would start, the students could continue their studies without any interruption.

Right now, in the infirmary building and one of the rooms, Elder Remy was done observing Mrs. Davis, and he stepped out of the room, where Mr. Davis, Melanie and Simon stood outside.

"How is she?" came the anxious words from Mr. Davis to the Elder vampire.

"She's stable now," replied Elder Remy, and both Mr. Davis, as well as Melanie, breathed a sigh of relief. "If you want, you can take her home. But I would like to advise that it would be better for her to spend at least a month here until she feels perfectly fine to step back into the world."

"A month?" Mr. Davis had hoped to take his wife away from here. "Isn't that a bit long?" he eagerly asked the Elder vampire.

Elder Remy stared back at the human with a serious expression on his face, and he explained, "It is only for precautionary measures. Right now the chemicals that she consumed has fully exited her body and her transformation is complete. Newly turned vampires often have the tendency of being uncontrollably hungry, and watching their food walk and talk in front of them would be hard."

Noticing Mr. Davis' hesitation, Simon offered, "I can keep a watch over Mrs. Davis. I am a vampire and I can keep an eye."

Mr. Davis turned surprised by the boy's offer. He then turned to look at the Elder vampire on what he thought about it. Though his wife was now a vampiress, he still had a hard time wrapping his head around that he was standing in a place surrounded by vampires, making him feel nervous about it.

Remy gave a small nod, "That sounds fine. Simon is an experienced vampire, and he has personal experience in this particular part of the transformation."

Melanie thanked the Elder vampire, "Thank you so much for making sure she was alright and having her here, Elder Remy."

"You don't have to thank me. I did what I usually do. Take good care of her, the initial few days are often the hardest," advised the Elder vampire before walking away from there.

"Can we see her now?" asked Melanie, turning to look in the direction where Elder Remy disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Her transformation is complete and she must have been provided with blood, just like how humans are given IV liquid," Simon explained.

Both Mr. Davis and Melanie quickly stepped into the room, which was moderately dark, to stop any possible harsh light that wouldn't come to harm the vampire, who had recently transformed.

"Honey, how are you doing?"

"Mom?" Melanie called her mother for her attention, with her back facing them.

Simon, who had followed them into the room, remarked, "Don't be shy, Mrs. Davis. We won't judge you." Melanie elbowed the side of Simon, and he asked, "What did I do? I am only being supportive."

Mrs. Davis slowly turned her body. Mr. Davis's mouth fell open, when he noticed the sharp looking fangs that were in his wife's mouth. The woman said,

"I am a vampire now..." there was a sorrow in Mrs. Davis's voice, and the initial frustration with the tantrums had disappeared.

Simon pushed Mr. Davis's back, who had a gobsmacked expression on his face. The man quickly cleared his throat, and said, "That's fine, honey. We have many vampires here for your company. Like we have Simon."

Mrs. Davis offered a small smile, and she apologized, "I am sorry that you had to stay here, waiting for me. And even my earlier suggestion."

"We are just glad that your transformation went well, mom. You do not have to feel any less about yourself," replied Melanie, and she stepped forward, coming to sit next to her mother. She placed her hand on her mother's hand.

"Aren't you scared of me?" questioned her mother, and Melanie shook her head.

"No one here is scared of you mother. You are still you," replied Melanie, wanting to be supportive.

Mrs. Davis's eyes filled up in tears, and Simon wondered if the woman had turned into an emotional vampiress. He said,

"The only thing that has changed is your heightened emotions, and the menu of your food. There's nothing to worry, Mrs. Davis. If it is killing humans that worries you, then let me tell you that in time you will be able to control your thirst."

"What about the hunters?" asked Mrs. Davis, and her eyes lowered, knowing well she was now being a hypocrite. There was shame in her eyes, and she didn't know how long she would be able to live like this.

"No one has to know about anything," came the curt reply from Simon, and this had both Mr. and Mrs. Davis turn to look at him with a question in their eyes.

"That's not possible," replied Mr. Davis. "We have been away from the hunters for so long, the other hunters are bound to know that something is up."

"Once they find out... they will kill me," stated Mrs. Davis, and Melanie put her arm around her mother's shoulders.

"We won't let that happen, mom. You are always going to be safe," assured Melanie, and she added, "Simon has already got everything sorted."

Simon gave them a nod, "Melanie is right. I already spoke to Donovan about it, and he's mentioned to the hunters that you were injured, and have been getting treated in here to avoid gaining attention from the doctors and others outside this place. We will make sure that no one will ever know that you have been turned into a vampire. And if it makes you feel better, you can always come live in Veteris, or live outside this state. But it would be better to stay close, and in the circle of known, to avoid being hunted."

Mrs. Davis's hands that were resting on her lap. She clenched her hands and nodded, "Okay."

"Let us get you back home, mom. I am sure you miss it," said Melanie, and the four of them started to leave for Greasy Corner town.

Once they reached the house, Mrs. Davis said something to her husband, who gave her a nod. Mr. Davis then said, "Mel, I will need your help. Come with me."

Melanie wondered what was up, and she looked at Simon, who offered her a smile. He said, "Go on. I will get the things from the car's trunk."

Melanie gave an apprehensive look before she made her way inside the house with her father.

Near the car, Simon was picking up things from the trunk when Mrs. Davis appeared near him. The woman cleared her throat to gain Simon's attention, and he turned to look at her.

"What you did for me, or my family... why?" she questioned him.

Simon offered the woman a smile and asked, "Isn't it simple? Because I love your daughter and to her you guys mean a lot, even after you almost killed her."

Mrs. Davis's lips pursed, and she looked at the neighbour's house, worrying that someone would come with guns to shoot her.

"You should understand that the surroundings that my husband and I grew up, things were harsher. Which is why vampires have always been our enemies. I was only trying to protect my daughter from... vampires," replied the woman.

"I will save you from going round and round the conversation, Mrs. Davis. I will tolerate anyone only until the person who is dear to me isn't hurt or doesn't get affected. If anyone crosses it, I will take matters into my own hands, and there will be nothing more to look at," said Simon with a straight face and his green eyes staring at the woman. "But, if you have mend your ways, then I will make sure to keep Mel happy and also protect you and your husband. Are we clear?"

The woman nodded and said, "Now that I am on the other side, I see things. I apologize and also thank you. Melanie told me what happened the night we had locked her in the basement."

"Well, if that is so, there's no bad blood at all," Simon grinned, picking up one of the boxes.

Simon could tell that the woman had tried to reflect on what she had done in the past. For most of the ride, she had been quiet. And speaking to him and apologizing had taken a lot of effort. Something his own family had not done for what they put him through.

Mrs. Davis picked up another box, and when they were about to get inside the house, two of the hunters, who stepped out from Conner's house, noticed the woman and the vampire.

"What is a vampire doing here?" questioned one of the hunters, his voice stiff and guarded.

"Mrs. Davis, I didn't know you had joined hands with these kinds," said the other hunter. "Is it because of your daughter?" came their unwelcoming words, but they hadn't suspected her of being a vampiress yet.

Mrs. Davis stepped forward and said, "There's no need to be rude, gentleman. You should know better than some of them, fight for better, and don't harm us. It is time for things to change…"

"You cannot be serious. Wasn't your family killed by these vampires? Did you forget it?" one of the hunters questioned her.

The woman nodded, "Yes. They were killed by vampires. But we should know that there is good and bad to a coin. If it weren't for the vampires in Veteris, we would not have lived to be here today." The hunters pursed their lips because it was true. She then said, "Also…you are right."

The hunters' eyebrows furrowed in question on what she was talking about.

"It is also because of my daughter," Mrs. Davis turned to look at Simon, who had been quietly listening to them speak. "Simon is now part of the family. I would appreciate it if you aren't hostile with him."

Mrs. Davis then stepped inside while Simon offered the hunters a bright smile.
