Chapter 180 My True Form
Chapter 180 My True Form
I looked up at the crying Hope in her true form, and said, "You haven't seen my full vampire form yet."
I concentrated and allowed the beast within to take over. I grew wings, claws, even talons this time. I felt the shape of my face change as it grew more animalistic. I ended up just over 3 meters tall myself.
Now I was staring down slightly at Hope, and said, "You are not a monster. You are beautiful and unique. I like you. I know it won't happen overnight, but I hope someday you come to see yourself as I see you. Amazing."
I smiled as best I could with the shape of my face.
Hope looked up at me and said, "You really are amazing. You know that?"
"What did I do? I just said the truth," I said.
"I know. And that's what's so amazing about you. You show people how much you care, and you really do care," she said.
"I do," I said. I tried to kiss her, and she kissed me back. I looked deep into her diamond eyes and said, "Do you feel any better?"
"Much better," she said, smiling.
"Good. Because I have to go to talk to someone now," I said.
"Don't kill her," Hope said.
"I won't," I said. I walked over and sat down by Lisa, who was still laying on the floor. "Why don't you try to call your buddy Pete for help?"
"I'd rather not take advice from a monster like you, but that's a good idea," she said. She grabbed her radio from her belt and put it up to her mouth. She tried pressing the talk button, but she frowned.
"What's wrong?" I said.
"The talk button. I can't press it in. It won't click," she said.
"Well, it can't click if it's already pressed in," I said.
[No, actually it's easier than that. They just have to think about calling you, and then I send the number directly into their minds, they type it in, and they can call you]
'That won't explode their brains will it?'
[That little information? No, it won't. I just can't download a full system into their brains. Then their brains will explode, metaphorically speaking]
"All you have to do to get a hold of me, is think about calling me, Dylan, and then the number will come to you," I said.
"Is that a vampire thing too?" Pete said.
"No that's something else, but I won't go into it. It would be too confusing," I said.
"Ok. Well, I'll be waiting out here. Let me know what you find," Pete said.
"Will do," I said. I grabbed Hope's bracelet off the ground and handed it to her.
"But I'll be naked," she said.
"You're naked now," I said.
"Yeah, but I'll be human naked," she said. "Elemental naked is normal. Human naked is illegal and shameful for some reason that I don't understand."
"I'll get you some new clothes," I said. I summoned clothes from the system and handed them to her. "Go around the corner and change when you get small again."
"Ok," she said.
I summoned clothes for myself as well, since I was currently naked. My clothes had exploded off me in my transformation. In just a few minutes, we were both dressed again, and ready to go.
I hooked my arm in hers, and said, "Let's go solve a crime."
We walked towards the bank vault.
