Ascendant Path of a Lustful Vampire-Chapter 37: Professor Anne Gilligan

***

-Two Days Later-

-At Lochxen-

It was Magi History Class. The second class of the day right before Break.

The classroom was large and grand like it was a testament to the very history it was meant to teach. Kaya didn’t care about that though. She cared that its size made it possible for her and Caius to grab seats at the very back leaving more than enough room between them and even the closest student to them so they could talk in whispers and not be overheard.

Eloise kept shooting them glances and then glancing at the Professor wondering if she would be allowed to change her seat and get closer to the chatting two.

"So, I’ve been meaning to ask," Kaya said in a whisper.

"Hmm?" Caius answered even though he kept his eyes ahead.

"You bit me. Will that make me a Vampire too?" Kaya asked. She said ’vampire’ so quietly that Caius almost didn’t catch it even though he was sitting right next to her.

Caius smiled.

"How long have you wondered that?" He asked.

Kaya blushed a bit,

"Since that day," she admitted.

"And you didn’t say anything? What if it WAS happening and could be reversed if you spoke up quickly enough?" Caius asked her, trying to look and sound serious but his smile broke through still.

Kaya blushed even harder,

"We didn’t have the chance. Eloise wouldn’t leave me alone."

"Ah, yes," Caius said with a knowing smile.

Kaya had been forced to reveal certain intimate details to Eloise when the amber-eyed girl wouldn’t let her be. She mentioned that she and Caius kissed and also alluded that they might have done more when the badgering became too much. But she made sure not to say anything about Caius’s vampirism. Just as Caius had been sure she would.

Kaya found it surprisingly easy to keep the secret because Eloise didn’t suspect it. Every question was about whether the two had had sex or not.

"Have you done any research?" Caus asked her.

Lochxen had a massive library that every student could access and he knew from reading the original story that it had quite a bit on Vampires.

Kaya shook her head.

"Felt it would be suspicious that I just started reading up on Vampires all of a sudden."

"Smart," Caius agreed.

Kaya continued,

"Plus, I wasn’t feeling very urgent about it. I haven’t felt any different really. I’ve been smiling a lot though. Is that why? Does your venom make people smile?"

Caius laughed now but still kept it quiet enough as he said,

"I don’t have Venom. If you were smiling, it’s because you were happy or you saw something that made you smile."

Kaya’s face turned as red as a tomato. Mostly because the ’something’ that had been making her smile was him. She quickly pushed that train of thought aside so she didn’t get too embarrassed and focused on her questions.

"So is it just you who doesn’t have Venom. You know, because you’re a Spawn?"

Caius shook his head slowly,

"No. Vampires just don’t have any venom. Our fangs are to bite not to poison."

Kaya looked surprised.

"Oh. I just always assumed... So, how do you turn someone then?"

Caius’ expression became a musing one before his brows furrowed a bit.

"It’s a bit like a ritual; ’I bite you and then, I let you bite me’.

I.e. I feed on you and you feed on me.

You don’t actually have to bite me, of course. I just have to feed you my blood. My Blood is what’s ’dangerous’. It’s what can turn you.

I also have to give it willingly. That’s an important part of the ritual. People have tried taking it by force. Not everyone thinks becoming a Vampire is a bad thing."

Kaya took a moment to take it all in and then nodded.

"Hmm," she said, "So you just have to bite me again and then I drink your blood and I’ll be like you."

Caius looked to the side at her, his eyes looking into hers,

"Are you sure you’d want that?"

"What do you mean?" Kaya asked.

"Becoming my Spawn will mean coming under my control. My blood will bind us eternally. It’s a big commitment."

Kaya gulped and her heart beat a bit harder but she managed a teasing smile.

"You won’t make me do anything bad, will you?"

"Nothing too extreme," Caius assured her with a dastardly smile that would take any woman’s breath away.

"Huh," Kaya barely managed to let out in between holding her breath.

Caius laughed comfortingly.

"Relax. I’m still just a Vampire Spawn. Only a True Vampire can turn you and I’m not one."

"Will you become one?" Kaya asked.

"I’m working on it," Caius answered with a smile.

They both went silent then and listened to a bit of the lecture. Caius mostly eyed the Professor.

It would soon become a saying that Magi History Class was boring but Professor Anne Gilligan was not.

Maybe it was her voice that had a rich sort of tremor that made it sound lush and had you hanging on her every word even if the topic was mind-numbingly dull.

Or maybe it was her large tits that trembled with every step she took. Who knows?

Caius would describe her as looking like a sexy Forty-something librarian but with the skin of a woman in her early twenties. She had her hair done in a bun so tight, it’d put Cynthia Kragsten’s to shame. She left two bangs to frame her face which was very beautiful and mature with her lips painted black.

She wore large lens glasses that she peered over occasionally to pierce any lucky student with her black eyes.

Usually, she’d be wearing a large robe but she took it off to lecture so it now hung on a pole at the front of class so she could walk about in a shirt and skirt combo.

The shirt was a corporate-looking wear that hugged her body and somehow managed to hold her tits even if they did continue to wobble in a very eye-catching way. Her pencil skirt was of a similar-make and clung to her lower half, framing her round and sizable ass for all to view whenever she happened to turn her back to them.

If any of the things she was teaching were actually interesting, Anne Gilligan would have been considered a distraction but as it stood, she was the only thing to pay attention to as far as the class was concerned.

The only issue was, with her, you really had to pay attention. Professor Gilligan had little to no patience for slackers in her class. After every few sentences of lecture, she’d fire a question at a student and she damn well expected a correct answer.

"Marcus Arognite!" She called sharply suddenly and the student was immediately on his feet.

"Professor?" He asked, sounding a bit timid.

"What year was the Acheron-Elven Treaty signed?" Professor Gilligan asked, peering over her glasses at Marcus’ nervous face.

"I don’t—I don’t know, Professor," Marcus said and he looked like it hurt him to disappoint her.

Professor Gilligan shook her head,

"And when I just mentioned it too. Pay better attention," she said, "Shame."

Marcus practically shrank back into his seat.

Anne Gilligan had that effect. Maybe it was years of teaching but her words always cut deep. It usually wasn’t even about the words themselves but rather the tone she used.

When her eyes came over to where Caius and Kaya were, Kaya sank into her chair.

"She doesn’t expect me to know that, does she?" She whispered to Caius who chuckled with his eyes on her ears.

"Well..." he said suggestively in a joking tone.

"Come off it," Kaya said as she self-consciously covered her slightly pointy ears, "I know as much about them as you do. I wasn’t born that many years ago!"

Caius laughed but whatever else he was going to say was cut off by Professor Gilligan’s voice.

"Von Helsing," she called gently but in a clear voice, "Can you help us with the answer?"

"The First or the Second Treaty, Professor?" Caius asked.

Professor Gilligan looked pleasantly surprised.

"Both." She said.

"The First was signed in the Year 230. The second was signed over a century later in the Year 350," Caius said clearly.

"And the one who brokered the Treaty?" Professor Gilligan asked in a follow-up. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Aklopis the Great," Caius answered almost instantly.

"What caused the need for a second treaty?" Professor Gilligan asked. She actually hadn’t reached this part in her lecture. She just wondered if Caius knew.

And he did.

"Aklopis couldn’t keep it in his pants," he said with a shrug.

"What?" Professor Gilligan asked, not sure if she heard him right.

"I said Aklopis couldn’t keep it in his pants, Professor. He seduced the Chieftain’s bride and reignited conflict between the Acheron Empire—then Kingdom—and the Elven Tribe.

He made up for it though by brokering a new peace. But turned up dead the next day.

It’s said he was stiff as a rock when they found him. Believed to have died as he lived; Horny."
