7 What if I finished it?

A sharp pain striked through my heart not because he called me Claire but he confirmed me that I'm just a replacement.....

As I forced myself to smile, I suddenly remembered Haru's words

"I chose you for who you are"

I felt a bit motivated. When Lord Charles entered the room, he saw me sitting up then he greeted, "Good morning, Asuna."

"Haruhiro

Immortal

Male - fox spirit

Black smoke wielder"

"Good morning, Lord Charles. Oh right are both of the Lords alright? Even though you are moving actively, still you seem a bit pale", After I finished Lord Charles opened his mouth say something while Lord Valdimir started "We are perfectly alright dear.

You don't have to be concerned with ourselves make sure to regain your strength and don't feel burdened with anything. And Charles?", he faced Lord Charles with glare and then continued, "She is my daughter and your sister, Claire Elizabeth Cullen. My dear you can call him brother, alright?", he finished facing me. I nodded saying, "Yes father."

When I looked at Lord Charles he was never bothered by it. "I have talked with the doctor, father we can discharge after breakfast. He will come to monitor her in alternate days, Rachael will here in a while for the blood supply. As she is a doctor herself she will be with Asu... (cough) Elizabeth to check her condition 24/7", like that with a cold demeanour, Lord Charles finished his report.

Lord Valdimir's face brightened as he heard the report, "Oh my dear, we will grab breakfast on the way to home we will leave as soon as your thirst is fed. Charles call home and ask them to prepare Claire's room, go and inform the doctors about Claire's discharge."

"Yes father", after replying to Lord Valdimir he went out. "What is your favourite food, favourite colour, ah yeah costumes, do you like any famous brand sweetheart? I can get those for you! Don't be shy dear, you can ask me whatever you want", Lord Valdimir continuously shooted questions like an enthusiastic kid.

When I see Lord Valdimir this close I can't understand it, more like can't believe that he is the real one. He usually have that intense aura around him making others to keep their guard high. But I feel so pleasant and soothing when he is near. While I was wondering about him someone entered the room, "Slow down dad, you will frighten her if you keep up this speed. She slowly open up to us. Right Elizabeth?"

A girl with short rich wine colour hair wearing a pink colour single piece up to her knee with entered the hospital room while talking to Lord Valdimir with a warm smile along with a guy with the same wine colour hair wearing black v-neck t-shirt along with jean came in. "They are Raphael and Rachael, my second son and daughter, your brother and sister", Lord Valdimir said with a calm expression.

"Rachael Amelia Cullen

Female - Vampire

Doctor

2nd daughter of Valdimir

Raphael Thomas Cullen

Male - Vampire

Major of South

2nd son of Valdimir"

I looked at them with a smile saying, "Good morning brother and sister." Lady Rachael's face took a great change while giving a big smile she jumped towards me saying, "Oh my god, you are so cute and beautiful Elizabeth. Your name is too long, let me think uh.... Elly! Yeah I will call you Elly! You can call me Rachael, sweety."

I noded with a big smile while, "You can call me Raphael too, there is no need to be on alert when you are around us. I have heard about you during your field work days. You are quite famous in the battle field. There are many admirers for you. Even though you are in central your fame known all over. You are pretty good soldier", Lord Raphael spoke cheerfully.

They both are twins I have heard about them but this is my first time seeing them."You can have their blood, dear. That way we can leave her soon and you will gain energy", Lord Valdimir said in a casual tone. I felt shocked even though Lord Charles informed before about the blood supply. I thought I will get the donated blood packets or something like that.

"Lord Valdimir....", when the words came out of my mouth his faced turned into puppies longing face then I corrected my words saying, "Father! I am alright there is no need blood now. We can leave now later on I can have it, last night only I had blood right! So it's alright for now."

I tried to refuse, even though I am Vampire now still it feels awkward to intake blood. I was human untill yesterday actually I remember being a human untill yesterday. They looked at my frowned face and silence was maintained. Lord Valdimir broke the silence saying, "Even though you are 25 yrs old, you are still a new born you can't control your blood thirst when we are out.

That's why we thought of keeping your thirst in check, that way you can control your desire for blood. I can see that it will be difficult for you to take blood when you have changed suddenly. But for now this is the only way. When you have gained enough strength you have to seal the contract with the spirit..." when he mentioned about the contract I felt a bit guilty for not telling him. He is thinking about my health and all while I kept quiet.

I interrupted saying, " What if I finished it?" with a guilty conscious tone. "You finished what?", Lord Raphael asked in a confused tone. "The contract, What if I had already sealed the Contract? Then can I avoid drinking blood for now?", I replied in a mild tone. "What???", Lord Valdimir asked in a shocked tone.

(Why were they shocked? Can she avoid drinking blood? or Will she accept drinking blood?)
