I pushed Hobson away and looked at the bite on my hand. My skin had turned blue and began to rapidly swell.
I rubbed the back of my hand against the hem of my dress, trying to wipe away the blood and the disgusting sensation.
Hobson’s looked at my hand with disbelief. “Only Noreen’s blood has the power to remove the curse she has cast on me.”
Then, he dropped his gaze to his hands which had returned to normal. “It proves that you’re Noreen. Do you still want to play tricks with me?” Hobson cackled like a maniac.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying. It’s just a coincidence. Maybe the witch lied to you and only a werewolf’s blood can remove your curse.” I refuted his fallacy without even thinking about it.
‘How could he think I was the damned black witch? That was plain crazy.”
But I was still panicking. Even I didn’t believe my words and knew it wouldn’t convince Hobson.
Hobson snorted and licked the blood stains on his lips. He soon returned to his normal self, looking like a thirty-year-old man with renewed vitality. He looked handsome and elegant. However, the greed and madness in his eyes betrayed his looks.
“Don’t forget your agreement with Geoffrey,” I warned him coldly.
At that moment, his fingers gradually became dry, and wrinkles once again emerged on his face. He was aging again.
Hobson’s face turned pale with fright as he raked his eyes across his body in disbelief. “Why is this happening?”
Sylvia’s POV
When Hobson was still panicking, I quickly turned into a wolf and ran through the door.
All of a sudden, a shrill sound rang in the air. It was so loud, almost as if it would pierce my eardrums. It sounded like the screams of a thousand bats.
That was probably Hobson’s special power.
Unable to withstand it anymore, I returned to my human form and squeezed my ears shut. But the shrill noise seemed to pierce through my brain and crush my soul.
I closed my eyes and tried comforting Yana in my mind.
Poor Yana was terrified.
“Sylvia, your ears are bleeding,” she said in a tremulous voice.
“Yeah, but I’m okay.” My palms were stained with blood, and I felt something warm flowing out of my nose. I realized it was my blood. My eyes became hot and dry as if they were about to bleed too.
Just then, the long, shrill noise faded. But I was bleeding profoundly.
“Catch that werewolf!”
Hobson roared. As soon as he gave the order, all the vampires sleeping in the castle awoke at once.
I didn’t dare to stay there any longer. I desperately ran forward.
The originally closed doors were wide open now as if the caged beasts inside were eager to eat their prey At that moment, all the lights in the corridor lit up at once, and about two seconds later, they all turned off again, leaving me in pitch darkness. The lights turned on and off over and over again.
However, I tried my best to remain steady and run out of the corridor.
All of a sudden, Ellis appeared from the stairway. I had scribbled on her face, but despite it, she looked terrifying. Her fangs protruded as she glared at me. “Don’t try to run!”
I slapped hard on her forehead. “Get out of my way!”
The sudden attack caught Ellis off guard. She seemed to have twisted her neck and couldn’t turn her head back to its original position.
“I will bite you to death!” She cried.
I looked at her in disgust. ‘What a stupid vampire!’
“What’s going on?” Ahern’s voice interrupted us. He was looking at Ellis and me with his arms crossed over his chest.
His nose scrunched up, and his eyes gleamed with excitement. “This smell! God, it’s fascinating.”
Before I knew it, he darted toward me.
I quickly leaned back to dodge his attack. But his sharp claws tore my skin.
As a result, the scent of my blood grew stronger and drove the vampires insane.
Ellis began to drool. She tilted her head and lunged toward me.
I quickly kicked her to the floor and turned into my wolf form again. Using her fall to my advantage, I jumped up from the stairs, hooked my front claws against the guardrail, and jumped to the third floor.
Fighting them would be a stupid idea because I was outnumbered by the vampires. Besides, Hobson was right here.
I would definitely not be able to defeat them.
All I could do was flee.
As I thought about it further, the goal in my heart became clear.
It was the wall.
The entire castle had turned pitch black. At first, I saw lights flashing. Now, darkness enveloped us.
I had left the last piece of my candle in Hobson’s room.
Fortunately, I had explored the layout of the castle before.
Therefore, instead of going upstairs right away, I made turns to confuse the vampires chasing me.
Then, I went up to the fourth floor and rushed directly to the wall leading to the attic.
Based on my memory, I quickly fumbled on the wall, following the sound I had memorized in the darkness. Soon, I touched the protruding place on the wall.
