Chapter 269 Stranded

"Where are we?" Jane muttered as she glanced around. "I have never used the secret passage at night, so this is my first time here. But rather than a labyrinth or an underground, this looks like an entirely different world."

"It's another dimension. Most likely, the secret passage activated a portal, and we ended up here."

"What should we do?" she asked in an anxious voice. She spread her wings and flew in the air to see the vast area.

Rudy did the same, but he flew higher than her since he could see farther than her.

"There is nothing but sand everywhere. What type of world is this?" Jane hugged herself and muttered, "I don't like this place. It's making me nauseous, for some reason."

Rudy lowered his gaze and uttered, "I don't feel anything. Is it because you are a vampire, and the desert represents the sun? I mean, deserts are hot because of the sun, and the vampires are weak against the sun."

"That could be it. It's my first time in such a place. But there are deserts in the vampire world too. Although they are cold."

"Yeah, it's night here, so you are safe. And actually, this is my first time in a desert too. I have been to the sea beach, forest camping and hiking, and recently to the mountains and snowy mountains too."

Jane looked up at the sky and saw a full white moon. But suddenly, it turned blue, and she felt as though her powers were being sucked.

Rudy noticed Jane shivering, so he followed her gaze and looked up, but he couldn't find anything strange. For him, the moon was still white.

"Jane?" Rudy tapped on Jane's shoulder to get her attention.

"Huh?" Jane blinked and turned to Rudy with a pale face. She tried to tell him about the blue moon, but when she looked at the moon again, it was white.

"Hmm? What's wrong? If you don't like this place. Then I can teleport us back to the palace. There is no need to worry," he said in a calm voice.

"No, I am fine. Just feeling a little dizzy, I guess."

"Are you thirsty or hungry? I just ate and drank the best milkshake of my life, but I suddenly feel hungry and thirsty as though I have been starving for days."

A brief pause later, he said, "This place is under a magic spell. Or it might just be because of the desert, but I am leaning more on my former reason."

Jane gulped down and placed her hand below her neck before nodding.

"Yeah. I feel thirsty…"

Rudy pulled his collar down his shoulder and said, "Go ahead and drink my blood."

"Are you sure? Aren't you thirsty too?"

"Well, I can't drink your blood, so I will create some water with my powers," he replied with a soft scoff.

"Okay."

Without wasting any time, Jane hugged Rudy and buried her fangs in his neck. She closed her eyes and began drinking his blood while savoring every sip of it before swallowing it.

She opened her eyes slowly because she felt as though someone or something was watching her, and sure enough, she saw someone.

A black cloaked figure was standing far away on the sand with a staff in its hand. There was a shining blue orb on top of the staff and a few small blue orbs circling around the figure.

Suddenly, its eyes glowed blue, and so did Jane's, even though her eyes were red.

Rudy lost his balance and fell to the ground with Jane on top of him.

THUD!

"Are you okay?!" Jane asked with an anxious look on her face before looking in the direction she saw the figure, but it was nowhere to be seen. Just to confirm, she glanced around everywhere, but it wasn't there.

"Yeah, I am fine…" Rudy sat up and placed his hand on his neck to feel something wet.

Even without looking, Rudy was sure that it was his blood. His wound didn't heal.

'What just happened? I suddenly felt dizzy after Jane sucked my blood and fell down. This has never happened before. I always feel weak but not dizzy, and I never lose control of my powers.'

Rudy tried to stand up, but he was too weak to do that.

Jane, on the other hand, had started quivering in fear after what she had just seen. Out of all the colors she could have seen, she saw the blue color that she hated the most.

Jane hated herself for being a cursed child more than anyone else, but she never blamed herself or her mother for it. It was fate's fault.

Rudy tried to use hydrokinesis to drink water as he was feeling more thirsty after Jane sucked his blood. However, the water didn't appear.

He tried to use his other abilities and came to the conclusion that he had lost his powers for some reason.

'Should I tell Jane about this?' Rudy glanced at Jane and noticed she was already scared. 'Let's not worry her more.'

Rudy removed his hand from his neck, grabbed a sand fist, and rubbed his neck with it.

'The bleeding had slowed down, but it still stings. I feel weak too. As I had expected, there is magic cast on this place.'

'But I was able to fly before…' Rudy somehow managed to stand up and tried to fly, and sure enough, he was able to fly.

'So I haven't lost my powers fully. This place is weakening my powers, not sealing them. But if I spend more time in this place, who knows what might happen.'

Rudy could use his basic powers that didn't require mental stress, such as flying, super strength, super speed, and super senses, but he was unable to use telekinesis, healing, and the rest of his powers.

However, he was worried about only one thing that mattered the most in their current situation.

'Can I teleport back or not?'
