Taste of power

'Fuck! Fuck! Today is a bad day. Gaah! Somebody save me. Curtis!'

Zaiden stood up immediately and attempted to run without looking back. The street was the only pathway between two big blocks of housing. And it was already two hours from college and school's off time. Hence the streets were now occupied by rogue kids or different gang members, which was why those hours were not safe to step out of home.

"Stop this prick!"

Pike yelled to his lackeys who used their super speed and blocked his pathway. Zaiden immediately halted with fright, the street was a battleground for him now with nobody else to rescue him. Zaiden cursed himself with his shaking legs because he had been a victim of Pike's bullying since school times.

"Dammit! The hell! What a weird day it is? No more crazy stuff again please."

Zaiden turned around to see him approaching, he did not want to proceed with any unnecessary quarrel. But he also did not intend to injure Pike, thus pleaded to him to let go. The boy A among the lackeys of Pike leaped towards him, Zaiden reflexively dodged him by swirling to the left.

The awakening of his vampiric powers provided him a few perks, a few of them were super strength, speed, hearing and smelling sense. However as soon as Zaiden moved along with his bag, the hand of the guy A touched the sharp keyring tucked to Zaiden' bag.

The attacker fell down on the ground over his face, the whole act of so- called rebellion infuriated Pike.

"You little punk! Aren't you flying higher, eh! What changed to make you so confident that you grew wings?"

Pike spoke loudly and black aura began to ooze from his body, he prepared himself to attack Zaiden.

The guy B approached his pal and supported him to stand up while blood droplets fell on the ground. Pike summoned a visible part of his powers and dashed towards Zaiden with the intention of landing a strong punch on his face.

"I will make sure you regret crossing paths with me today." Pike's threat fell into his ears like a muffled voice. Whereas Zaiden stood there with his head lowered and shoulders slumped.

'What is happening to me? This….this smell, it's driving me crazy.' A strange and unfamiliar sensation crept into his body, Zaiden was shivering with his blood pressure rising constantly.

The overwhelming feeling crept into his body and Zaiden could hear his heart beating in his ears. The stench of blood coming from the injured hand of guy A intoxicated him. 'This….what….how?'

Zaiden could feel strength developing in his muscles, it suddenly provided him confidence that he could fight with Pike. His vampiric powers were surfacing and as soon as Pike approached him, Zaiden immediately dodged and sprinted backwards.

[Yes, I know you can feel the power in you. I know you want to kill him Zaiden, do it. Do it, he has been bullying you all along.]

'What is this voice again? This...this power really feels amazing.'

Zaiden stared at his hands and clenched his fists to feel the strength, which was constantly increasing in his body. Whereas Pike groaned in frustration and charged at him again, his punch was aimed towards Zaiden' face. But before his attack could hurt him, Zaiden blocked his fist into his palm.

[Yes, hehe! That's like it. Fight back, I know you want to punch him, feel that power. Right, Zaiden?]

Zaiden gave in to the temptation of the powers he experienced in that moment. A grin appeared on his lips when he crushed Pike's hand, which made him wince in agony because Zaiden' grip was powerful enough to break his bones.

As soon as Pike fell backwards over his butt due to the immense pain and disbelief...Zaiden happily giggled over his newly found strength.

"You little….!" Pike lackey number B shouted and charged towards Zaiden, but before he could reach something hit his lower abdomen.

Zaiden' speed was enhanced and his gut feeling assured him to dash towards guy B, he followed his instincts and charged towards the attacker. Zaiden wanted to test his abilities because previously all he could do was use his super speed. It was something beyond his excitement, the sudden outburst of power felt amazing!

His body was initially weak and Zaiden was aware of his incapability to fight anybody. That's why he never raised his voice against Pike or any other bully. However now that his vampiric powers had been awakened and it provided him all those desired qualities Zaiden ever wanted.

Power or punishment?

Meanwhile on the nearby tree Hula sat on the branch as she watched over him and provoked Zaiden so he would use his skills now. She wanted a strong minded host who had decent physical strength, but Zaiden snagged her attention due to numerous reasons. Hula was convinced that she wanted him as her master, and for that she had to train him harder to be the strongest person alive!

The guy B fell on the ground over his knees due to the strong pangs of pain in his tummy which soon caused him to faint. Whereas the coward guy A pretended to be unconscious despite not being injured at all.

On the other hand Pike ran for his life without looking back. Zaiden wanted to chase him but that was enough satisfaction for the day. After all he had to stay low key for a few days now for whatever had already happened.

Zaiden dusted off his hands and smiled at his victory, he completely neglected the sudden outburst of a foreign energy within his body. However it disturbed him for a while but he knew where to find answers now.

Meanwhile Hula slyly toyed with her hair lock upon witnessing the whole incident. Her invisibility spell allowed her to see all the action scenarios without any worry of being seen or caught. The demoness was truly amazed and enamoured by Zaiden, who donned his bag over the shoulders and began to walk towards home.

Hula hopped off the tree branch and stared at him walking back home, while the demoness snapped her fingers and vanished into the thin air.
