The Vampire King's Possession

Chapter 777: 777. Simply A Drizzle

Malcolm narrowed his gaze at this before slowly turning his head back to his sister. "Are you really sure you want to stay here?" Malcolm asked even before the door closed.

"Malcolm, yes. I already said this before. I wouldn't have left Greenham if I didn't want to stay here," she replied.

"Do they really treat you right here? I know vampires don't like humans. They don't have to pretend otherwise, simply because they need our help."

"Yes, don't assume the worst. There were some tough times," she explained, not wanting to lie to her brother. "But it has gotten so much better since then, I promise."

"I find that hard to believe. You'd bear through the worst storm and say it was simply a drizzle."

"That's not true. If I thought vampires couldn't change, I wouldn't dare suggest this. If I thought this favored us less, I would never have brought it up with Jael, but magic would be great for humans, especially for diseases we don't have a cure for."

Malcolm's eyes narrowed. He knew what Mauve was talking about. "You don't have to blame yourself. Vae's mother's death has nothing to do with you." And neither did your mother's, but he didn't add the last part.@@novelbin@@

"I know," Mauve replied. "And I promise I don't blame myself, but it would be nice to get to the root of it. Kieran has also promised to help, and I know we can rely on him. He has saved me a lot of times already."

Mauve felt a little uncomfortable telling her brother the disease had been created by vampires, even if the vampire had been killed by Jael. She doubted he would see it in any light other than vampires hating humans and enjoying torturing them. That was not what she wanted.

"Promises don't mean anything when we suffer at their hands every day."
