Chapter 1154: I Wish They Were Here
Although Gary said the words readily, he realized that he wasn't ready himself. Because Xin's response to the whole thing was to brush her hair to the side and show her bare neck.
[Your heart beat is rising] [No danger connected] [We suggest you go to the hospital to get checked up.]
'Stupid system, I thought it had gotten a lot better these days, and then it goes ahead and does this,' Gary thought, but it was right about one thing; he needed to calm down and take a deep breath.
"I actually haven't told you everything yet," Gary said. "There were some things that I didn't mention, and I want to be clear about all of it before you make your decision."
"There's more?" Xin said as she flipped her hair back.
"First, I don't have to bite you on the neck. I'm not a vampire trying to draw blood. I can bite you on your arm or your leg where it might be less painful," Gary answered. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire
These words had even caused Xin to blush a bit after hearing them.
"Second, the guarantee of a bite. If I bite you, there's not a 100 percent chance that it will turn you."
"I know you already told me that," Xin said.
Gary shook his head. "I mean, there's a 1 percent chance of failure, and that one percent… it could mean death," Gary gulped.
Xin looked into Gary's eyes at that moment and then went and grabbed both of his hands, holding onto them.
"How many things have we both done where there were chances of a 99 percent success rate? We've done a lot more things with a lot less chance of success in my mind," Xin said. "I'm okay, Gary… it won't happen, I know it."
Although Xin's words were filled with confidence, Gary wasn't so much. The only thing that was making him feel a bit at ease was that she was an Altered. Did the percentage even mean the same thing if Gary needed to bite her twice anyway?
"Alright, if that's everything, then here," Xin said as she let go of Gary's hand and then raised her own arm, nearly shoving it in his face.
"Alright," Gary said. "Just one last thing. On the night of the full moon, we can't transform into our Werewolf forms. It's to do with a deal I made, but I can explain more if this whole thing works out."
Xin nodded and then closed her eyes as she waited, and it was Gary who had decided to do the same thing. As he opened his mouth, his teeth enlarged, and his face was transforming slightly.
[Skill activated: Alpha Bite]
Gary's teeth sank into Xin's skin, and immediately a strange sensation was felt pulsing through her entire body. It was a tingling felt from her toes to the rest of her, and she even felt a strange rush of adrenaline pounding through her body like when she was ready to fight.
The bite itself didn't seem to be hurting as much due to the strange feelings that were felt all over.
Eventually, Gary let go and looked at the wound on her arm. Some of the blood was rising, but it was only a little.
'Her Altered body is still doing its thing. Tom did say the effects can vary, and it would take a while for things to work out.'
"So that's it?" Xin asked, looking at her arm.
"That's it for now," Gary said. "I guess when you notice you can no longer transform, contact me again, and then from there, I'll work out how all of this Luna stuff works."
Xin nodded, and the two didn't know what to do now until Xin had decided to do something. She grabbed Gary's hands once again.
"Gary, thank you," Xin said as she leaned in, moving her face closer to his.
In that moment, Gary didn't fight; he didn't force away; he allowed his body to move forward until his lips pressed right against hers. It was twice in one day where he wanted the moment to last forever.
Eventually, she pulled away. "We should start to enjoy our time together. Let's go on more dates and enjoy our lives, right?" Xin said.
"Right," Gary answered, not knowing what else to say.
"Head back inside; you have a party that's in your name; they must be wondering what happened."
Gary nodded his head again, and before he knew it, he was walking out the door. As soon as he left, Xin sat down right on the empty seat that Gary had been sitting during his interrogation.
"That was tough… come on, Gary, help a girl out; do I have to be the one that does everything?" Xin said to herself.
When Gary had exited back into the room, there were many eyes on him, but the event was still going away. Getting a drink with Tom, he explained what had happened, and Tom just couldn't stop laughing.
"Who would have thought, Mr. Unpopular at school, the class clown suddenly became Mr. Popular," Tom said. "It's a good problem to have, though, right?"
"Right, maybe. But I still feel bad about what happened to Marie," Gary said.
"Hey, you can't feel bad forever," Tom replied. "Someone was going to be disappointed, and at the end of the day, everyone's an adult now. Everyone has their own path. It's their own life, and you should focus on you, not to the point where you're hurting people on purpose, of course."
"Then you are just the arsehole, but the fact you feel bad shows you're a good person."
Gary looked at all of the members, and he started to wonder. There were two people at the event that he wished were here; it just felt a bit empty without them. He wondered what was going on with Innu and Blake.
