Sylvia's POV:
My heart banged against my chest anxiously and my hands, which were resting on my knees underneath the table, clenched tightly.
"The food is delicious! Why isn't she eating? She has no taste," Ellis muttered under her breath.
Hobson coughed to warn her.
Forcing a smile, I picked up the knife and fork.
These vampires really seemed to treat me as their guest, so I doubted they'd poison my food.
So I sliced a piece of steak with the knife. Red blood instantly gushed out and pooled in my plate.
The meat was practically raw!
My hands froze. I slowly looked up at the others at the table and found that they were staring at me.
Pursing my lips, I took a deep breath. I stabbed the slice of meat with my fork and brought it close to my mouth. It smelled strongly of blood and raw meat.
I could already imagine what it would taste like —in a word, disgusting.
But it could be fatal to reject this food in front of all these vampires. After all, I was greatly outnumbered.
I squeezed my eyes shut and put the piece of steak into my mouth, intending to swallow it without chewing.
But I quickly realized that it wasn't beef at all.
Despite all the pairs of red eyes fixated on me, I couldn't help but spit out the mystery meat. I didn't want to know what kind of meat it was.
Disgusted with the lingering taste in my mouth, I picked up the red wine in front of me and gulped it down.
However, the strong taste of metallic blood exploded in my mouth, and the thick liquid went down my throat, like a dense spider web wrapping itself around my whole body.
I rushed to the nearest trash can and vomited.
