THE NIGHTMARE

Chapter 75

Valerian gently removed Ivan's palm from his forehead after coughing a few more times.

He said weakly, "We would need to interrogate them to find out more if any of the rogue vampires survived."Go.Determine whether any of them survived.

Ivan quickly objected to this new plan, still vehemently distrusting me, but Valerian insisted.Ivan, she won't hurt me,” he said over and over until Ivan reluctantly nodded.

As Valerian's eyes closed, Ivan said to me, "I'll be back quickly."Don't act foolishly for your own sake.After that, he quickly got to his feet and stormed out of the room.

I moved over and knelt next to Valerian after he left.What did I do outside to him?What was that voice inside of me?As I gently placed my right palm on his forehead, I reflected.He was badly burning.I quickly got up, dashed into the bathroom, grabbed a white towel, and filled a bowl with cool water.Valerian had coughed up a few lumps of blood when I returned to his side after being absent for less than a minute.
