The Accidental Vampire

All the Vampire Lords entered the castle together.

They didn’t check anything in the entire castle. They had only one destination to check, and they all went there.

[0)ᴠʟ The Lords stopped before the door, noticing the broken chains lying near their feet.

“Elisi… I hope she hasn’t done what I’m thinking she did…” The Oldest Vampire Lord muttered.

He pushed the door open and entered the freezing hall.

“It seems she did exactly that,” Ramiun replied, noticing the open coffin in the distance. “That idiot… She has created problems for all of us.”

“But I still don’t understand. Why would she do it? What does she hope to achieve from it? She will be just as much trouble as we will be when he wakes up.”

“Who knows what she’s thinking? Only she can answer that. To understand what she was thinking, we’ll need to find her first. And hopefully, retrieve what she took before he wakes up.”_.

“Elisi has written her own death sentence by going behind our backs. We have no choice but to kill her.”

Every Blood Lord was infuriated by Elisi’s actions which were confusing for them as well.

One of them appeared to be done with the observation as he turned around.

“I’ve seen enough,” he stated as he started walking away. “I am taking my men to attack her castle. If she wants to die, death is what I shall give her.”

“I doubt you’ll find her at the castle. She must know we would be coming for her. If she made a decision like that, she had probably planned everything. She has been with us since the beginning. She knows how we think and how we work. She knows where we’ll look for her first.”

“It doesn’t matter. Even if she’s not there, I’ll still go there. She decided to backstab us. Her castle shouldn’t exist anymore. It’s time we destroy her home. I’ll make it such that she has no place to hide! Not even the depths of hell can protect her.”

The Blood Lord left on his own, leaving every time else behind.

“He’s right. We can’t waste time here. We need to find her and make things right before he wakes up. I’m sure we all remember what happened last time. I’ll go to the Witches and see if they can help us find Elisi.”

Another Blood Lord left. One after another, everyone left, having a plan of their own to find Elisi. They had divided regions that were to be covered by them to find Elisi. They could get out of their region to find Elisi as well.

The Blood Lords dispersed. Even Ramiun walked back to the foot of the mountain where a Carriage was waiting for him. Throughout the way, there was a grim expression on his face as if he couldn’t believe how it happened, but as he reached his carriage, a smile appeared on his face.

“Everything going according to the plan.” He entered his carriage.

The carriage started moving, but instead of going towards Ramiun’s castle, the carriage appeared to be going in an entirely different direction for some reason.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky that barely had any clouds. In the bright light, the Carriage kept moving through the rough terrain.

Atlas also woke up from his slumber, feeling completely refreshed. All his tiredness was gone, along with his headache. Moreover, he even felt a bit more comfortable in the body now. The mark of protection was back to normal, but the best part was that his soul was inherently stronger now.

He also remembered the exact feeling from before, where Castiel was using his Strongest spells that weren’t written even in Lilith’s book. It was as if those spells were imprinted on his soul. He knew how to use them, and he knew it better than he would’ve even if he had practiced a thousand times.

As he came to his senses, he felt as if his head was resting on something soft. He opened his eyes slowly, seeing Lilith’s face before his eyes. He was still on her lap.

Even though he was up and knew he should’ve sat up, he just couldn’t. For some reason, his head felt more comfortable than ever. He didn’t want to get his head up from Lilith’s lap.

“You are up, it seems.” Lilith noticed Atlas’ open eyes, but even she didn’t ask him to sit up.

“It’s good to see that you’re fine as well,” Atlas answered, looking up at Lilith. “So, what actually happened with Yovana? Tell me everything. Why did she betray us?”

Even though he had woken up from his sweet slumber, he still had the same question as before. Why was Lilith attacked by someone who was supposed to be on their side?

“I don’t know her exact identity, but what I do know is that Yovana lied to us. Atlan had no daughter… She wasn’t his daughter. That woman… She used the story about being Atlan’s daughter to get sympathy and help from us. She used us to get to Atlan.”

“Also, it appears that Atlan knew her. Even though she wasn’t his daughter, she was still someone he knew,” she further stated. “When he was about to tell me who she could be, that woman attacked me from behind.”

“She wasn’t his daughter? But she was still a half Vampire. You checked it yourself. If she isn’t Atlan’s daughter, then whose daughter is she? And why did she want to get to Atlan? What could she want from him?”

“We’re going to get those answers,” Lilith stated. “No matter how far she runs, I know where she will be. And this time, she won’t see my back to be able to attack me. She chose the wrong people to fool, and she’ll realize that soon.”

“How far are we from her?” Atlas asked. “I have one month, it seems. And in that one month, we need to get two stones…”

“That’s right. I forgot to ask! Did Castiel tell you why you need to open that place?”

“He doesn’t need to tell me. It’s not his plan. I need to enter that place for myself. And that’s why I need those stones. He’s just helping me,” Atlas answered. “I want to enter that place and see if that place can bring my sister back to life.”

“I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I was waiting for the right time. And now that Castiel already told you about my destination, it’s only fair, you know,” he further stated. “You too, Lancaster.”

Atlas finally sat up. He had decided to tell Lancaster what he wanted to do. However, he still kept some things hidden, regarding where that place was, or how could he bring his sister back, or what exactly he needed for that.

He also didn’t tell him that if he succeeded in bringing his sister back, she wasn’t going to be a human anymore. Instead, she was going to be a Progenitor. It wasn’t because he didn’t trust Lancaster, but he just wanted to keep some things to himself.

“If I can succeed in what I want to do, Misella could be back to life.”

“A dead person coming back to life? Is that even possible?” Lancaster had never heard about a dead person coming back to life. If there was one thing which was permanent in this life… It was death. If there was one thing that couldn’t be denied, it was that death was eternal, and no one could come back from it.

People could avoid death, but that was the extent to it. Once they entered the embrace of death, there was no way back. So the words of him being able to bring his sister back were quite shocking.

“How is that possible?” Lancaster inquired. “I’ve never heard something like that before. Is that really possible?”

“I am a Progenitor… I might not have my memories, but I’ve walked this earth for millions of years. I am impossible. If a person can be eternal, then anything is possible. Even death isn’t permanent, in some circumstances…” Atlas answered. “There are many mysteries in the world that no one knows, not even us.”

“I would understand if you don’t want to help me. If you think helping someone defy death is against your principles, I won’t force you.”

“I don’t mean that. I didn’t say that I don’t want to help you or that it’s bad if it’s possible to bring someone back to life,” Lancaster clarified. “I was just curious if it’s really possible. Because if it is, there are so many things that could be possible… If death isn’t permanent, maybe my family…”

Unlike the Werewolves, Lancaster hadn’t grown up in a Werewolf Clan. He had grown up in a mortal family. He wasn’t instilled with the principles that the Werewolves followed. Instead, he grew up as an ordinary human who had seen a lot of death in his life. He had seen the people who were like his parents die as well. The possibility of them being able to come back… It was impossible to resist…
