The Bored Immortal

And just as they turned around, their eyes widened in terror as sharp icicles punctured their throats, making them helplessly touch their own throats as blood began to gush out like a fountain.

However, not even their healing abilities were of any help as they succumbed to the ground.

"Azu!" Eli didn\'t even wait for them to die and immediately bent down to take a look at him.

But her heart fell when she saw how severely injured Azu was, and tiny icy drops began to fall down from her crimson eyes.

Viktor wanted to take a look at this vampire, but still, everything was blurry this time as well, especially since the boy through whom he was seeing everything was injured.

However, he could feel her icy tears falling on his cheek as she gently raised Azu\'s upper half towards her, "Azu...I am sorry I am late…"

Viktor could guess what she was about to do and saw her bite down on his neck while feeling her sharp fangs dipping into his neck as well.

He could see that this girl named \'Eli\' was trying to heal him.

However, as moments passed, she was confused to see that Azu\'s condition only slightly improved after everything she did to help him.

"Azu...what\'s wrong with you…" Eli began to feel despair, seeing that his condition was again beginning to deteriorate. Before, even when Azu was injured, she was always able to help him using her healing methods. But now, the situation was contrary to her expectations.

She then felt that something was off when she tasted his blood in her mouth and looked at his body for any injury that looked suspicious.

Her eyes quivered when she spotted a small slash mark on his back as if it was done with a dagger.

She could see that even the small slash mark was not closing up, making her realize one thing, "Poison!"

She gritted her teeth as she glared at the three corpses with even more resentment and hatred that she couldn\'t even express now that she had to find a way to save Azu before something worse happened to him. She could see that his time was limited, and the poison inside his system was slowly killing him and was too powerful for her to get rid of it.

Even she spat out the poison since she felt it was quite unpleasant.

"Don\'t worry, Azu. I promise to save you…" Eli said in a determined tone as she picked up Azu in her arms and disappeared from the spot.

Soon, Viktor saw himself getting carried towards a small pavilion on a hilltop where he could see an old woman sitting cross-legged on a mat while doing something with the herbs and flowers kept before her.

The hills were quite tall, and Viktor saw how this girl climbed such a tall hill all on her own while carrying him. He could see that this girl\'s feelings for this boy were immeasurable.

"Grandmother, please help him!" Eli cried out in a frantic tone just as she entered the pavilion with a sick Azu in her arms, much to her grandmother, Erina\'s, confusion.

"Dear, what happened? Oh...this boy...your friend, what happened to him?" Erina asked as she inspected Azu after Eli laid him down before her.

"He...He is poisoned…" Eli said with quivering lips as she tried to stifle her sobs and continued, "Those evil dogs did this to him...Please help him, grandmother. You have to…"

"Calm down, Eli. Let me first see what kind of poison he is afflicted with," Erina said in a gentle voice, trying to calm her granddaughter down while checking on Azu after tasting his blood in her mouth.

After tasting his blood, her brows pulled together as she mumbled, "Oh no…"

Eli became panic-stricken seeing her grandmother\'s expression and asked in a weak voice, "Wh...What is it, grandmother…Tell me you can save him...please….I am prepared to do anything!"

"It\'s beyond our hands, especially now that the Wolfsbane poison has already settled in his system. He has his father\'s blood, because of which this poison is killing him slowly. If not for him having his mother\'s blood, then he would have died already," Erina said with a sigh.

"Wolfsbane?" Eli became devastated hearing that Azu was afflicted with the poison that was like a curse to all werewolves.

Eli thought that her grandmother, who was well versed in healing and using medicinal herbs, could save Azu, but she knew how cruel and brutal of a poison Wolfsbane was since her own people used it against different werewolves tribes during wars.

"You should bring him to his parents...he doesn\'t have much time left. At best, I can help him make him feel better to lessen the pain he is feeling, but it wouldn\'t stop the poison from—"

"NO! I...I won\'t let a stupid poison kill him...nor am I going bring him to his parents just to let them see their son\'s corpse...I will bring him back to them alive!" Eli said as she clenched her fists, her voice resolute to the core.

Erina sighed, especially seeing her granddaughter being so distraught like this, who was usually cold and indifferent to everything else.

"Eli...try to calm down and think rationally. What could you possibly do to save someone suffering from a poison like this?" Erina wanted to know what Eli was thinking.

"I am...I am going to turn him...into one of us.. Then his healing abilities coupled with being a vampire should make the poison become useless, right?" Eli asked as hope gleamed in her watery eyes.
