The power of blood; even now, as she watches Klaus and Irina's transformation through the magic mirror, the Sect Master almost can't believe it.
After drinking Jared and Abner's blood, Klaus' hair regains Its natural black color; his athletic muscles seem to rip those old rags that can't contain his magnificent body; and his already handsome features now look even more stunning.
And there's also the fairy; her wings are growing again, and she even gained fangs. As the Sect Master watches Klaus take Irina in his arms and let her drink the blood from his neck, that ambitious woman can't help but feel many strong emotions.
In that cold room, the Sect Master slips her hand inside her clothes, trying to bring some warmth to her lonely parts, imagining what it's like to feel Klaus' touch instead of her own.
"You're mine, Klaus... mmmm..." She solitary moans, having only the image of him to stimulate her imagination. "You are mine, and only mine alone..."
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
The sound of someone desperately knocking on her officer's door interferes with that special moment, leaving the Sect Master furious. "What the hell do you want now?!?!"
"Sect Master!! This is terrible..." Eli's voice sounds from the other side of the door in a panic.
She already expected that, so she doesn't think twice about responding. "Warn everyone our Sect is under attack; disciples and elders must follow the protocol and await my orders in the upper halls!"
"Yes, master!" Eli quickly follows the Sect Master's orders without even realizing how oddly prepared she is for that.
"Stupid fairy, he's mine... since I saw him in that otherworldly tomb as just skin and bones..." The Sect Master thinks aloud as she gazes at the image of Klaus in the mirror.
*BAM* *SMASH*
The Sect Master shatters the mirror with a mighty punch, then she adjusts her clothing and turns her eyes to tubes filled with black liquid strewn across the room; that liquid is Klaus's blood that she took during the last week, and some of the tubes are empty, with not even a drop of that blood left.
"Ah, it's a shame I don't have more time..." She sighs as she takes those tubes and approaches them to a beautiful silver ring on her finger; after a light shines around the tubes, they disappear, or rather are transported into the ring, which is clearly a rare storage artifact.
When all the tubes of blood are safely in her storage ring, the Sect Master walks over to her desk and takes a goblet half full of Klaus' blood. She licks her lips, and two fangs emerge before she drinks all the blood from that goblet.
[It feels so good, even cold...] She thinks as she imagines how nice it would be to drink Klaus' blood straight from his veins like Irina is doing right now.
—---------------------------------
While the Sect Master follows through with her plans, Klaus and Irina have a great time together. Even in the darkness of that chamber with the smell of blood and death, she feels very comfortable in his arms.
"Mmm... ahh~~!!" Irina lets out cute moans as she kisses the holes made with her fangs in Klaus' neck.
"Irina..." Klaus can barely contain his laughter. "You're doing it in the wrong way."
"Huh??" She talks between licks and peck kisses on his neck. "Does it hurt or make you feel weird?"
"That's not quite what I had in mind when I told you to drink my blood straight from the vein." He explains. "But that's not weird at all; it's actually really nice... and I love it."
"You are a pervert vampire!!" Irina tries to look upset, but in reality, she is very nervous about not knowing how to deal with the growing strong feelings that Klaus arouses in her body. "You're thinking of doing naughty things to me, aren't you??"
Klaus smiles and hugs Irina tighter. "I'm always thinking about doing naughty things with you."
"..." Irina doesn't know what to say as she blushes even more. But inside her heart, she feels a satisfying pride. She never doubted her beauty as she captivated men and women wherever she went, whether they were human or not. However, this is the first time she wants anyone to notice her beauty, and to her happiness, Klaus is doing it pretty well.
He loves everything about Irina, yet, the fact that she is always so fierce and proud but blushes and gets timid when he praises her is very satisfying, as much as hunting down wicked humans.
"You're making things difficult for me, Irina." He speaks in a concerned tone. "You can't be so adorable right now, we're still in enemy territory, and that woman is still out there, planning something bad."
Irina loves that Klaus praises her so much, but she can also feel the concern in his voice. "Why don't we run away from here?? I know you're very strong, but the Sect Master is on another level, and she has an army of necromancers in this damn place."
"Killing everyone is still the best way out of here." He explains. "Here in the underground, away from the sunlight, no matter how many they are, they don't stand a chance against me. Also, the more blood I get, the faster I can kill that woman."
"You seem obsessed with her..." Irina does not hide her concerns and jealousy.
Klaus has incredible senses, not to mention his super instincts, but he knows nothing about a woman's jealousy. "This isn't about revenge. That woman knows a lot about me, and she even has my blood… damn, maybe she already knows about the power of it."
"Hmm… I still don't like it." Irina complains. "But anyway, I'll always be by your side; let's kill all our enemies together."
"Yeah." He agrees as he looks at the nearly open chamber door. "But take it easy, my battle lady, you're still recovering, so I'm going to kill this one first."
Before Irina can understand what's going on, Klaus quickly smashes the few magic lamps in the chamber with her still in his arms. She can hear the heavy doors finish opening as she watches the mysterious person from the shadows.
"Who is it?" She whispers in Klaus' ear.
"That stupid human who looked at you with hateful eyes." Klaus whispers back to her. "Now I'm going to gouge out his eyes and bring them to you."
"Doesn't it seem a bit too much?" She asks but immediately regrets it. "Fuck it, who's going to feel sorry for those damned necromancers? I certainly don't!"
Klaus couldn't be happier that Irina has no aversion to his brutal and bloodthirsty personality; he's not willing to change it, especially because that's the best way to prevent anyone from hurting her again.
"Drink more of my blood." He whispers to Irina as he watches Zadok from the shadows.
Zadok feels the sinister mood within the chamber but still has no idea what happened there. "Elder Abner? Where are you??"
Klaus doesn't usually care much for the humans he kills; they are mostly just prey, but after having the slightest hostile intent against Irina, anyone will enter his blacklist, which is Zadok's situation.
When the young necromancer calls for Abner, Klaus kicks his head toward the door, almost scaring Zadok to death.
The terrified expression on Abner's severed head sends shivers down even Zadok's soul, but the arrogant necromancer doesn't think of running away yet. "Who's there!?!"
Klaus cannot miss that opportunity and speaks from the shadows with his coldest and most bloodthirsty tone. "Your hunter!"
[Such a show-off!!] Irina complains in her mind; but of course, she likes Klaus that way, or rather, she doesn't dislike anything about him.
"Who are you?!?!" Zadok can't believe that person is Klaus as he hasn't seen the vampire in several days, so he has no idea how Klaus is right now.
The necromancer prepares his dagger and begins to light the chamber with his flames. Klaus was never afraid of any enemy on Earth, but the fire witches were certainly his strongest opponents.
Since fire is light and heat, both nature's forces contrary to Klaus's, he knows that the necromancer can end up being an exciting fight, or at least more complex than killing Abner and Jared.
As the vampire analyzes his new prey, Zadok finally sees him, now in his original form, which is very shocking. "Old Dog... this is impossible!"
After everything the necromancers have done to Klaus and Irina, he can't help but want to destroy the entire Bronze Skull Sect.
"I bet your blood stinks worse than the rats in this place..." Klaus still doesn't have perfect fluency in the new language, yet he manages to be very clear. "But I'm still going to take every drop of your blood and use it to destroy everything you guys love."
That threat should sound arrogant and stupid coming from a prisoner within a Sect full of necromancers, but Zadok still trembles in fear as he fails to look Klaus in the eyes.
