I fell to the ground coughing violently as the ironic taste of my blood filled my mouth. My chest felt like it was on fire every time I coughed out air, and no matter how much I wanted to yell in pain, my voice wouldn't come out. Ethan stood in front of me, looking down coldly as I writhed in pain. In the next instant, the pain disappeared, and my eyes widened as I touched my chest. No damage…okay, this is just stupid at this point. Why can't I just feel it fully from the start?
"You still don't have full control over your senses, so your mind has to butt in with completely putting away the sensation of the pain," he said, grabbing me by my arm and making me stand up. He then held his fingers against my forehead. "To be able to make any proper progress, you must overcome that first. Now that you converted into a vampire, changes are going to happen a lot quicker in your body, faster than it can sometimes keep up with, and trust me, it will hurt."
