Maria hadn't turned to face him, "We do not care even if you did manage to kill your whole coven."
Markus stood there watching as the villagers went back in, no one had spared him a second glance.
What was he supposed to do when not even his father's race wanted to accept him? He had never felt hatred for the humankind but he screamed after her that made her pause. "Mathias had always spoken of you."
Maria paused and faced him, "Mathias? I do not know Mathias."
Markus let out a snarl, "How dare you defy your brother's existence? He had always spoken a lot about you!"
She turned her back on him once more. "Since my brother told me he was fucking a vampire, I have written him off. So forgive me if I do not have any love for my brother anymore."
Markus felt his immortal heart stop beating, Mathias loved his sister dearly and couldn't shut up about her but here she was throwing him away like a piece of trash. His anger wakened his blood and before maria could enter her village he grabbed her.
He bent her neck and his fangs grew longer and he dipped his head pushing his fangs into her neck, 'If she wanted to damn him the I will make her a damned myself!'
Her blood chilled his mouth it tasted horrible, garlic with a hint of holy water. He pushed her away and subtracted his fangs, she grabbed her neck and her eyes flashed with anger, "What the fuck did you-"
She fell to her knees, he spat the last of her blood from his lips and knelt before her, "I am going to turn you in the thing that you hate the most." He reached and cupped her chin bringing her head up slowly, "For all eternity you will walk this earth and the best part... You will not die, you will only be able to be killed by my hand."
Maria opened her eyes and glared at him, "I will die before I let you change me!"
Markus brought his left wrist up to his lips and tore his flesh open, "You won't be able to," He brought his wrist to her lips and she tried to fight him but his grip on her chin was going strong. "Open your mouth and drink the eternal blood."
She pursed her lips tighter, so Markus forced her lips open and forced his wrist at her parted lips. "You are going to become one of us."
Maria's eyes opened wide as the blood flowed down her throat, she began choking and Markus stood up and a few steps backwards. "You might want to get out of the sun."
He turned his back on her and walked to the right where the desert laid open to him, "What am I going to do?"
He heard Maria's screams as he walked, the sun was burning her but she wouldn't die, he had spoken his curse and she would only be killed by his hand.
There wasn't a new village for miles, he had no money and no horse. And he didn't know if there are vampire hunters who would even teach him.
He let out a sigh, "Mathias... My beautiful Mathias, I don't think that I can do this..."
He missed Mathias, his goofy grin and the way his face lit up when he brought him a present, his soul... Being half-vampire and half-human he still had a soul but it could easily be tipped.
He kept walking in the scorching sun, his skin was drying up and there was no animal for miles. There were no trees so he could stay in the shade, he started hallucinating.
"Markus! Markus my love come quick!"
Markus blinked, this can't be real, Mathias was standing a few feet from him, "Markus! I have something to show you!"
Markus dragged his already tired feet towards Mathias and parted his lips, "What do you want to show me?"
Mathias pointed and his eyes followed, there was a village and his lips smiled faintly. "A village?"
Mathias nodded, "Someone there will be able to help you."
Markus reached out to Mathias but his image disappeared and Markus felt his heartbreak all over again. He fell to his knees and closed his eyes, only to wake up a few hours later on a back of a carriage.
"Are you awake?"
The voice grunted, Markus sat upright and stared at the back of the man's head. "I am awake."
"Good, so tell me what is the Markus Alucard doing on this side of the world?"
Markus was taken aback, 'This man knows me?'
"Not answering hey? Well, I could have killed you but by the blood on your clothes, you have killed many of your vampires."
Markus let out a snarl, "How do you know?"
The man chuckled and lifted his horse's reigns, "I am a vampire hunter."
Markus stiffened, "Are you going to-"
"No my dear lord! I am curious about why you are here and why you killed them."
Markus choked out the next words. "They have killed the man I loved so I just corrected their mistake."
The man nodded and turned his head to glance at him, "I see. And why are you here?"
Markus looked him straight in the eye, "I have nowhere to go. The vampires will hunt me and my father's kind shunned me, so I want to be a vampire hunter."
The man lowered his hood and turned his gaze back to the road. "So the famous lord is a Dampyre then? And you want to become a hunter because no one would accept you? Interesting... Then I shall teach you."
Markus couldn't believe his luck, "You will?"
"I have said that I will, aren't you listening boy?"
"I am not a boy! I am 1000 year's old!"
The vampire hunter's body shook with laughter. "You look 17, to me you are a boy and I am not going to go easy on you."
Markus crawled to the front of the carriage, "I am a quick learner."
