Maybe the best way is to get into the forest, but I'm afraid to take Alicia along.

"Stay as close as possible to the water, I'll get close to the forest" I tell her already walking in the direction.

All I need to do is focus. I look at the woods, but I use all my concentration on my hearing. I can hear the sound of moving leaves, but I don't need that. Small insects making noise near me, are probably edible, but I prefer not to think about it.

"I need water..." I speak a little apprehensive. "Please..."

Right now I hear the sound. Running water. Not so far away, but also not too close, also not hearing the sound of nearby animals or monsters, unless they had the ability to hide like vampires there is none.

"Come on over here." I call Alicia.

She's been running.

"Ioan wants something?" asks the girl.

I turn around and get down.

"Get on my back. I heard the sound of water nearby, climb on my back, it's safer to go with me than to be alone," I answer.

She agrees with the head and climbs on my back.

"Hold on tight." I say when I get up.

I hold her legs and she hugged my neck with her arms.

I'm making my way with my free hand. Earlier, as I moved my backpack, I found a dagger, Lucio told me that he would leave things that would be useful to me. The retreat from my waist, that way it will be easier to cut the foliage.

After a few minutes of walking we arrived, the delay was because of the difficulty of the size, not for its distance, we were still relatively close to the beach. Arriving I see a small river, when we arrived I didn't see any place where it descended to the sea, maybe on the other side of the island.

Alicia gave it to me behind my back, she comes close to drinking, but she's safe.

"Wait a minute, we don't know if this water is of good quality yet." I say approaching.

"Okay." She answers and stands by me.

I'll take some water with my hands. I ran away for a long time, in these hours my knowledge is important, joining them with the led senses of vampires is almost perfect.

First the smell, I concentrate a lot, but I don't feel anything, maybe just a little smell of the wet earth. Then the color, I look for a while, I even put on some suns.h.i.+ne that pa.s.sed through the trees, has no color, another good sign. I finally like it. I put it in my mouth, Alicia gets scared when I do that.

"Didn't you say it might be bad?" Your face turns white.

Maybe I scared her a little. On second thought I didn't explain what I was doing, I just started doing a lot of things with a serious face.

"It's okay, that's one of the tests to see if it's potable, otherwise I'd spit on the spot." I swallow the water. "Besides, I'm a vampire, my body's tougher than humans'."

She poutes when I say the last part.

"You mustn't take chances either, Alicia's a partner." She says with a drunk face.

"I understand... - I speak with a brief laugh. "Water is drinkable, you can drink as you please."

Even trying to look mature, she was thirsty. After I finish talking, she starts drinking water from the lake. When I get to the mainland, I'll pay for the best food she's ever eaten in her life. I sit next to you and I hope it's over.

"Now Alicia's fine..." She says a little panting.

I smile when I hear it.

"Before I was seeing if the water was good for drinking." I'll explain again. "Do you want to learn how to do that?"

Her eyes glow for a second, she was really interested in that.

"Please teach Alicia" says bowing.

"You don't need that, we're gonna help each other, okay?" I ask you to raise your head.

Sometimes she's too polite. I sit next to her and take a handful of water with my hands.

"First we go with the smell..." I'm starting to explain.

I spend some time explaining to her the steps to find out if the water was clean. Alicia didn't even blink as she spoke, she seemed interested in every word I spoke. Maybe I didn't have a good education, in fact, I doubt that I had in this world on the verge of the middle ages, I have to be attentive to it, teach it whenever I can.

"Do you understand?" I ask.

She's got a little water in her mouth, then she swallows it.

"Alicia thinks she understood." She says with a doubtful face.

I'm thinking of explaining it one more time, but I can hear the snoring of your belly. She turns red at the same time. We still have to take care of the food.

"Later we'll come back here and I'll explain it again." I speak by standing up and putting my hand on my belly. "Let's go find some food, I'm a little hungry."

She swings her head in positive and gets up. I get down so she'll climb on my back.

On the way back, almost near the beach, I stop.

"Is there a problem?" Ask Alicia.

I put her on the ground and point her up, when she looks she understands the time.

"It's coconuts."

~? Two hours later

I had some problems, but I was able to catch some fish, five in all. I left Alicia eating some coconuts. Getting close, I see she had eaten three of the sevens I could get. Probably took me into consideration, even though I don't have to eat.

"I got the dinner, tomorrow we'll get some more, we have to get some on the boat for you." I'm getting closer.

I approach some of the woods I had prepared before I started fis.h.i.+ng.

"Fireball," I recite.

A small ball of fire forms in my hand, it was about the size of a tennis ball. As soon as I think about firing it, it comes out of my hand and hits the wood. I'll start frying the fish.

I sit on the sand, even though I'm not sleepy, I feel mentally exhausted. A lot's been going on. While I think about it, Alicia sits next to me.

"Here." She gives me a coconut.

"Thank you." I answer and catch him.

She insisted on helping me, at first I didn't leave her, which made her mad, but her mood came back soon after, when I let her carry some branches for me. After the fish were ready, I gave it to her. Even though she didn't need it, she made me eat one. It's out of seasoning.

"Is the fish all right?" I ask her.

She shakes her head in affirmation. I let her eat without bothering her, I just lay down and looked up at the sky. I haven't seen the sun yet, so we're still in the demonic kingdom. The crossing lasts an average of five or six days, but is still a long way off. I don't know if I can get water to Alicia, she'll have to drink my blood one more time...

Sigh.

"Ioan doesn't need to drink blood?" She talks by suddenly appearing in my field of vision.

"Actually, we vampires can live without blood. It makes us stronger and prevents us from having to eat or drink anything for long periods of time, but we can still live without" I answer.

I also found out that we acquired a little of the strength of animals that we drank the blood. The more a vampire kills before leveling up, the greater the bonuses he will receive.

"Ioan doesn't want to drink the blood of Alicia?" She's talking infuriated.

"I'd feel bad drinking your blood, so no" I answer.

"But Alicia wants to help, Ioan has helped so much," she says, pulling her collar to the side, thus revealing her neck.

"I'm sorry." I'll sit down. "It's still hard for me."

She seems disappointed.

"How about this? If I need to, I'll drink, right?" I ask.

She settles down with her head.

"So..." She thinks a little. "Status, showing status is a symbol of trust."

"I understand..." I think a little bit about.

I really don't like to show my status, at least that's what I thought. Chloe, Moura, Wallace, Lucio, in time I stopped caring, it was trust that I had in them. I look at Alicia. Somehow I feel that way about her too, even with so little time.

You want the parents?

She was just too strong, her magic attack is huge. I think about how she could have that... The demonic disease, maybe that's why. I look in their status for other symptoms, there they were, physical strength well below normal, but what worries me most was this seventy percent human.

"Alicia is very strong..." I speak in amazement.

"Ioan too." The girl answers.

After seeing your status, those words hurt.

"Can you use magic?" I ask.

This black magic intrigues me, I've never heard of it. There is the magic of darkness, used by practically any race, but I have never heard of it.

"Alicia can, but when she uses black magic, humanity diminishes" she answers calmly.

That's why your humanity. She's already had to use thirty percent of her humanity, I wonder what she's been through.

"So let's keep it that way, shall we?" I ask. "Use only in cases of life and death."

"Yeah..." Answer low.

Alicia is a very good girl, but she's been through these things, these useless G.o.ds!

She releases a yawn.

"How about you go to sleep?" I ask.

A head swing is the answer I get. I had brought the boat to the middle of the beach, that would make it much easier. I take all my clothes out of my backpack and lin the floor of the boat. So Alicia will be able to sleep there, unfortunately I don't have sleeping bags, I hadn't planned this stop.

"Won't Ioan sleep too?" She asks when she sits in the boat.

"We don't know if it's totally safe here, some animal or monster might show up, so I'll be watching." I answer.

"Ioan needs to rest too." She talks sleepy.

Looks like you'll lose the battle against sleep.

"Don't worry about it, if it's too quiet, I'll rest too."

I raise my hand, it goes back a little instinctively, but then it goes back to where it was. I'll put my hand on your head. For her to react like this...

"I'm your partner, I'll never hurt you." I'll put my hand on your head.

She seems to be finally relaxing, then lying down while I continue.

"Ioan will still be here when Alicia wakes up?" he asks.

"Sure, we're partners." I answer.

"Partners..." says the girl falling asleep.

Looks like he fell asleep. I try to take my hand off, but it ends up holding her, so I sit on the side for a while. This island is relatively quiet, but...

"Auuuuu" I hear a distant howl.

Just as I thought, there are animals inside this forest, I do not know where they are, but I have been able to hear them for some time. I can't afford to sleep.

"Don't leave Alicia behind....., I don't want to be alone again." The girl talks in her sleep.

She's dreaming. I feel your grip on my hand. A nightmare maybe, I'll make sure she can relax from now on.

"You're not alone anymore."
