Aaron stared at her who seemed nonchalant to Aaron’s stares. Of course, that was all her act for she does not want Aaron to worry too much. However, her efforts were futile.

Aaron: Hebe…why didn’t you tell all of us about this? We should have discussed it before hand!

Hebe: *frowned* Aaron, I don’t see any need to do so…

Aaron: And I don’t see any need for you to sacrifice as well! Gui Gui might not be the one who will fulfill that prophecy!

Before Hebe could reply, Wu Xiong and Xiu came running into the room, alerting Aaron and Hebe about the big news.

Wu Xiong: Gui Gui is awake! And she is Gui Gui right now! Not the vampire!

Xiu: Aaron, come on!

Without further ado, Aaron rushed out of the room towards Gui Gui’s room.

---Gui Gui’s Room---

Aaron: Gui Gui!

There she was, lying on the bed, smiling weakly at Aaron.

Gui Gui: Aaron…

Aaron dashed towards her and held on tightly to her hand the moment he reaches her bed.

Aaron: Gui Gui, how are you feeling right now?

Gui Gui: I’m fine…*Smiles sweetly* Aaron…

Aaron: Yea?

Gui Gui: You looked so tired. You must have been worried about me. Rainie told me all about you.

Rainie, who had been standing beside the bed all along, gave a small nod.

Aaron: Don’t worry. *Reassures her* You will be fine.

Gui Gui: Aaron, just….kill me.

Aaron was too astounded for words. He could not believe his ears.

Aaron: What……What are you talking about?!!

Gui Gui: I could no longer be a human again. I won’t risk myself being a vampire. I might be the one whom the prophecy refers to! I can’t let Hebe sacrifice for me too.
Hebe, who was standing at the door, looked at Gui Gui with tears in her eyes. She shakes her head slowly, as if wanting to tell Gui Gui that, to her, it is not a sacrifice at all.

Aaron: Don’t…Gui Gui, we will find a way to help you…

Just then, Selina entered into the room.

Selina: Aaron’s right.

Everyone in the room was taken aback by Selina’s words.

Xiu: What do you mean?

Selina: I just had a vision. The prophecy had been fulfilled, by The Real One…

Aaron: You mean….there’s a…

Selina: Yea. Someone, like Gui Gui, who came from a hunter’s family became a vampire yesterday. But I still had not found out the reason. George is now searching for the vampire, hoping to find out more about it.

Aaron heaved a small sigh of relief. The news that came seemed to be a new hope for all of them. By right, all of them should be worried about the fact that the prophecy had been fulfilled and that the vampire world would be in trouble but none of them seemed bothered or overcast by this. Instead, they were all glad that Gui Gui wasn’t the one whom the prophecy referred to and that would mean that she could even become a vampire without endangering the vampire world.

Wu Xiong: So Gui Gui can become a vampire?

Xiu: Can she be a hunter as well?

Selina: Rainie had told you guys before that either Gui Gui becomes a hunter, or dies and become a vampire.

Aaron: You mean…by drinking blood?

Selina: No.

Aaron: What do you mean by that? I thought she could have become a vampire by drinking blood? That’s why we tried so hard stopping her from drinking blood.

Selina: Drinking blood can turn her vampire but she would not be able to survive for long.

Xiu: What?!

Selina: She will experience what Aaron had experienced before and since she isn’t a full-fledged vampire, she couldn’t take it. She has to be turned into a vampire. She has to die before becoming a vampire.

Aaron: You mean…we have to turn her into a vampire?

Selina: Yea.

Silence hung in the air as everyone tried their best to digest the fact that Selina had just fed them. They couldn’t imagine turning Gui Gui into a vampire personally.
Just then, Gui Gui spoke quietly.

Gui Gui: I don’t want to be a hunter. I want to be a vampire and if I do, I want Aaron to do it.

Aaron: *frowned* Gui Gui…

Gui Gui: I trust you…

Aaron: I…

Selina: Aaron, you have to decide quickly. The vampire world would be in danger in no time if the prophecy was right. We have to build up our own army.

Wu Xiong, Hebe, Xiu and Rainie stepped forward.

Rainie: Aaron, you can do it.

Xiu: Yea buddy.

Hebe: Gui Gui needs you.

Wu Xiong: Yea!! Gui Gui will become one of us!!!

The rest of them turned to look at Wu Xiong. After all, she seemed to be too cheerful for the mood.

Wu Xiong: Am I right?

All of them smiled: Of course you are.

Aaron looked at Gui Gui: Gui Gui, I won’t let anything happen to you. *smiles*

Gui Gui: I know *smiles*

----The Next Night---

George had already come back with the news, confirming Selina’s vision that a vampire had been born to fulfill the prophecy. However, they had no time to worry about it as they were all concentrated on the fact that Aaron would be turning Gui Gui into a vampire tonight.

Aaron and Gui Gui was sitting in the garden, engrossed in each other’s thoughts. Just then, Gui Gui spoke softly.

Gui Gui: Aaron, we can be together for eternity.

Aaron: Won’t you get tired of me?

Gui Gui: Of course not. *smiles* I can never get tired of you.

Aaron: Look what I have got for you. I made it today.

Aaron took out a pair of rings carved from wood. It was sleek but nice and he slots it elegantly into Gui Gui’s ring finger.

Gui Gui laughs sweetly: That’s very beautiful!

Aaron: I made it for us. Only for us. I want you to keep this for eternity.

Gui Gui: I will. *Smiles*

Just then, Rainie walked into the garden.

Rainie: It’s time.

Aaron and Gui Gui went upstairs into the biggest room where all of them were present.

Wu Xiong, Xiu, Hebe, George and Rainie looked nervously as Selina closes the door after Aaron and Gui Gui entered.

The room soon fell into an abyss of silence as Aaron and Gui Gui in the center of the room.

Aaron pulled Gui Gui closer and into his embrace. He took a deep breath before opening his mouth, revealing his long and sharp canines.

Slowly and with great difficulty, he sunk his canines into the Gui Gui’s neck. He could feel her shudder for a moment and he nearly retracted his canines but he persisted.

It seemed eternity before Aaron finally feels life draining away from Gui Gui. Soon, she collapsed into his embrace.

At this moment, Aaron created a long wound onto his arm and fed her with his blood. He had completed what is to be done and he laid Gui Gui softly and gently on the floor.

Xiu: You did it

Hebe: Gui Gui

George: She will awake in a day’s time and become a vampire…

Aaron returned to his normal self and stood up to face the rest of them.

Aaron revealed a smile: It’s….a success….

Everyone smiled at him but before they could say another word, Aaron collapsed onto the floor and became unconscious.

Everyone: Aaron!!!
