With a trembling arm, Rosanna very slowly put her hand around Hashirama's arm that held her waist and stroked it very gently, while at the same time Hashirama was at Rosanna's ear and breathing into it. As Rosanna stroked the vampire's arm very gently, she suddenly felt very safe and calmed down more and more as time went by. But not only Rosanna, also the vampire felt a familiar feeling, which he had not felt a long time ago. Not wanting to get so close to her, Hashirama withdrew his arms and moved away from Rosanna while staring at her very gently. Rosanna felt Hashirama moving away from her, so she closed her eyes, turned to him, and then looked up at him.
"What was that feeling? It felt so... Familiar..."
Rosanna was confused, even if they both didn't know each other that well, she felt a familiar feeling at the moment when Hashirama embraced around her, like, they had known each other forever. The vampire smiled peacefully.
"I feel the same way."
Rosanna smiled as she suddenly felt a lot of happiness inside her. When she suddenly felt the feelings, they were gone right away, almost strange to have felt this.
"Why were you so irritated when I asked you if you had problems with your blood pressure?"
The smile that had been visible on Hashirama's face had now disappeared again as he listened carefully to her question.
"I didn't want you to find out that I was a vampire, I just didn't want you to feel uncomfortable with me while I would have helped you return back to your parents or home. You humans would not understand, but you must know how painful it is to be a vampire and live forever as a monster. I had actually had problems with my heart and blood pressure earlier, and so could not be doctored. But then a witch appeared, she gave me eternal life, even though I didn't want it, since I had already given up with my life. But she did it anyway and thus turned me into a vampire, it all happened 100 years ago when I was 25 years old."
The depressed sight of the vampire, already spread sadness to someone watching, which is why Rosanna also furrowed her eyebrows and looked depressed to the ground. Tears welled up from Hashirama's eyes as he also looked down to the ground, gritting his teeth as he tried to suppress crying.
"I know that pity only makes everything worse, but I am really terribly sorry for this.... Even though I'm not a vampire, I can understand your feelings very well, so I know exactly how you feel."
Rosanna had strangely felt more sorrow than ever before, which is why her tears suddenly welled up from her eyes as well.
"I've always been all alone, and as I said before, I almost never get to go visit my family, I also never get to make friends because I'm busy with my work, but not only that, but also when I want to make friends with someone, they all keep turning me down, I don't even know why. Well, to put it in a nutshell, I am very lonely. I have another sister, she is 10 years older than me, but I have had no contact with her for years. When I was little and asked for my sister, my parents looked at me with a disappointed look and told me that my sister was in a home because they had too little money to raise two children. That's probably why my sister never wants to see me again, because it's my fault that she had to go to a home. I was the youngest, so it was decided that the oldest should go to a home. If I'm honest, it hurts terribly, because I loved my sister very much at that time..."
With moist eyes, Hashirama looked at Rosanna as her words moved him a little. He finally got the feeling that there was someone who understood him very well, which is why he also laughed softly and brought his right hand to his face to wipe away the tears flowing from his eyes and running down his cheeks. He lifted his left leg, running towards Rosanna as he walked towards the window to look out.
"Maybe your life is a lot harder than mine. I mean, as a family, you should always be there for each other, even when mishaps happen. About your sister, I'm really sorry. I have a little brother of my own who also lives here in this mansion, but still I see him very rarely."
Hashirama turned to Rosanna as he stared at her and took out his cross necklace from his Victorian shirt tied around his neck. Rosanna was irritated, the vampire could touch a cross necklace made of silver?
It was known that vampires could neither see nor touch the cross, not if it was made of silver. With eyes wide open, Rosanna looked at the cross necklace as the vampire held it in his hand and looked at it as well. Her eyes wandered to the vampire's face, who had been eyeing the cross necklace for a long time. The vampire gave a short laugh.
"Well, the mansion is much too big for three men..."
He grabbed the cross necklace back under his Victorian shirt as he closed his eyes with a frown. But his eyes opened as he looked directly into the young lady's eyes. Rosanna remained skeptical.
"Does the cross necklace mean anything?"
The vampire sighed.
"Back when I was alive, I was a priest and even then I lived in this mansion with my brother."
Hashirama grunted as he looked down at the ground with a smile.
"I used to pray to God every time because my heart was seriously ill and I had still lost my wife at that time. I was so sure that eventually I would get better, but then a witch appeared and gave me eternal life..."
From that moment on, Rosanna realized how much Hashirama must be suffering, which is why she felt quite depressed and couldn't help but let a few tears flow from her eyes. She felt a painful, squeezing sensation that stabbed from her soul to her throat.
But she took another deep breath to calm herself down, while she wiped the tears that were streaming from her eyes with her left hand. Even though Rosanna trusted the vampire blindly, she had a very specific question in her mind that wouldn't leave her alone. So she nervously played with her fingers and looked at him a little worried. She stammered.
"Are you going to drink from my blood?"
The vampire paused, why Rosanna was also getting more and more nervous. He looked at her with a frown.
"Don't worry, I won't do that easily, because I almost don't drink human blood. But if it came to it, I would ask your permission beforehand, of course."
While Hashirama was explaining this to Rosanna, he walked step by step towards her again. Now he was standing very close in front of her, a head taller than Rosanna's height, so she felt very intimidated as she looked up at him. But she remained calm and serious.
"What are you up to?"
She frowned slightly as Hashirama stared at her for a moment, but the vampire grinned in amusement, spreading his right hand to Rosanna's, and taking her hand in his. Rosanna however, raised her eyebrow, she wondered what the vampire was up to, but after Hashirama held his hand holding Rosanna's hand in front of his mouth and looked deep into her eyes, she felt a beautiful sensation inside her, which quite melted her as the fire of the candles fixed in the lanterns and Krohn candlesticks were reflected in the vampire's golden-brown eyes.
After looking into each other's eyes for a long time and feeling a beautiful feeling inside, Hashirama's eyes moved to Rosanna's wrist as he held it in his hand. He gulped at the sight of her veins, which Rosanna noticed right away and immediately took her wrist from Hashirama's hand and pulled it back.
"Are you planning to... Are you thirsty?"
Rosanna asked this while holding her wrist with her left hand and looking at the vampire with a confused expression. Hashirama swallowed.
"I feel very uncomfortable that now is the time for my next meal..."
He looked sheepishly at the ground as he closed his eyes. Rosanna could already imagine how painful it is to be thirsty as a vampire, so she looked to the side and spread Hashirama her wrist and held it in front of him.
"I don't mind at all.... Come on."
Hashirama's eyes moved back to Rosanna, why he also couldn't help but smile while still frowning. He grabbed her wrist with both hands, pushed it right in front of his face and bit into it without hesitation. The pain was indeed unbearable for Rosanna, so she watched and opened her mouth to scream out.
Even though it was very hard for Hashirama, since Rosanna's blood tasted too good, he had to let go and looked at her with a warm, serious look when she wanted to scream out. The vampire let go of her wrist as he put his hands on Rosanna's cheeks, caressing her cheeks very gently as he looked into her eyes to keep her from screaming.
"I know it hurts... I know the pain all too well, but someday, it will stop hurting, you just can't be so tense."
While Hashirama very gently caressed the lady's cheeks with his thumbs, Rosanna breathed in and out heavily. However, after a few seconds, she began to calm down as she enjoyed very much at the sensation of touching Hashirama's hand. The look of the vampire really made her melt, which is why she was suddenly calm and hardly felt the pain on her wrist. Hashirama smiled, while his smile was very warm.
He wrapped his right arm around the back of Rosanna's head while bending it slightly to the right to release her neck, and very gently slid his other arm around her back so that he held her very tightly. His head moved to Rosanna's neck as he very gently breathed on the most sensitive part of Rosanna's neck.
As Rosanna was getting a little nervous, she also snuck her arms around Hashirama's back as she closed her eyes and actually enjoyed the feeling. Since the smell of Rosanna's blood smelled too delicious, the vampire didn't want to hesitate for long, so he approached the neck, opened his mouth and very slowly bit into the young lady's neck.
