Back to the present/ midnight….
Marcellus is standing at the doorway and he sees Alicia struggling to stand up.
"Beautiful" mutters Marcellus in awe.
"..." She looks at him as he snaps out of his reprieve.
*Ahem* "Hey, do you need help?" questioned Marcellus while feeling slightly stupid.
Alicia, seeing an opportunity, nodded her head. She could tell that the boy in front of her was a human. If he was human, she could use him to refill her energy.
As Marcellus got closer she could feel her throat getting dry and her stomach slightly rumbling. Unknowingly, her face started to change to the same devilish face that Everblood had only slightly.
"Hey, what's happening to your face?" inquired Marcellus in a small panic. If she happened to be injured he didn't know how to help.
Alicia, seeing that the human boy stopped quickly controlled herself and gave an excuse.
"...N-no, it's nothing, just a skin condition" replied Alicia with an expressionless face but inwardly she was feeling rather embarressd at the stupid excuse.
Marcellus, seeing her expressionless face and hearing her cold tone of voice, thought that it was a sensitive subject.
"Oh, ah, sorry for asking an insensitive question" replied Marcellus to his own misunderstanding in apology.
"..." Alicia just nodded.
"Can you help me up?" asked Alicia instead of responding to his apology.
"Ah, sure, no problem," answered Marcellus.
He then finished walking near her and grabbed her arm. He then put her arm over the back of his neck and helped her up.
He was about to move away but before he could she slipped so he grabbed her waist. He was about to ask if she was okay but she suddenly wrapped both of her arms around his neck.
!!!!
For a virgin like Marcellus, this move was 'super effective'.
"...Don't move" Alicia ordered as her eyes started to glow red. Not that Marcellus could see it because her head was on his shoulder.
Alicia just tried to use 'Mind Compulsion' on Marcellus but in her weak state it had no effect. Too bad he's only weak against female type poke–*COUGH*.
"...Um, Yeah, sure" replied a flustered Marcellus. As he tried his best not to move even after 2 minutes.
"Hey, do you need a hos—Agh!!!" Marcellus was going to ask if she was okay before getting cut off.
Alicia had suddenly and violently ripped open his neck for a tank fill up! Marcellus couldn't tell why she was attacking him but he was not a big enough simp to just let her kill him, he's not an anime weeb.
"ARgh, GET OFF" Marcellus tried to get her off of him with force but, let's be real, he was not overpowering a vampire.
Seeing that she was not budging he decided to fight back in a different way.
*SHING* *SPLASH*!!!!!
He grabbed his combat knife and stabbed her through the back, hitting her heart. Alicia finally got off of him and stumbled back from the anger and pain.
If she had some energy, this would not have even tickled. She was also furious at having been interrupted during a meal. She was important, okay? When was the last time someone dared to interfere with her while she was eating?
Never!!!
She was so angry at everything that has happened recently, with her father sending waves and waves of men to capture her, some even killing her. She was angry that she had to harm herself to escape Everblood. Now, AND NOW, even the food was fighting back!!!
Most vampires have a hard time controlling their emotions because their emotions are heightened by 10x compared to humans. Alicia, even for a human, was good at controlling her emotions, but today, I guess hell decided to freeze over.
Her eyebrows furrowed 1 centimeter downwards as she slightly frowned, her eyes started to glow their beautiful, bloody, galaxy color, the whites of her eyes turned black and the veins on her cheeks were getting longer. She opened her mouth revealing her elongated fangs and let out a loud snake like hiss.
*ARHGH*!!!
Marcellus, seeing all of this was terrified and mystified at the same time. He watched as her features grew monstrous but when she screeched, sounding as if a bat had a deeper and louder voice he started to run.
However, how could he, a human, run from a vampire who could go at speeds close to the speed of sound!!
Alicia without thinking grabbed the knife in her back, the wound tried to start healing but it was slow because of her constant deaths and lack of blood. She then ran as fast as she could and jammed that knife into Marcellus' rib cage, straight to his heart. Before even taking the knife out she tilted his head to the side and finished her meal. She got cleaned up and passed out from the lack of energy and wound on her back.
Leaving the abandoned house with one dead human boy with a knife in his chest, and one exhausted vampire girl with a fever and a, quickly closing up hole in her back.
Meanwhile in the home of the vampires…
Everblood made it back and was now kneeling in front of a 'king' of vampires giving his report.
*PANT* *PANT* "Your majesty, i've been bitten by a werewolf, I require your blood to survive, please sire" begged Everblood on his knees like a dog. Maybe, if that werewolf were alive to see this he could have died at peace.
"..."
"You failed to bring back Orepheus' child, and have disobeyed my order by showing up here regardless." stated the 'king' in an authoritative tone.
With the words he chose and the fact that vampires have heightened emotions, you might have thought there would be an undertone of anger but there was none. If it wasn't for the words themselves you might have thought he was talking about something as mundane as the local news.
"By showing up here, in my presence you have disrespected not only yourself but myself and the entirety of the 'Von Dracul' clan, yet you still dare ask for a favor?" continued the 'king' as he ever so slightly narrowed his eyes and started to exude an 'aura' of majesty.
"I, Damon Von Dracul, with my power as 'Elder', hereby declare that you, Everblood Von Dracul, shall be stripped of your title as knight as well as your place in the clan." powerfully declared the elder as he held his left hand up.
In his hand was a crystal that started to glow blood red then got darker until there was nothing but black. Then, it started to crash and crack. As the crystal was broken Everblood felt it, he no longer had any connection to any other vampire, not even his parents, nor would he ever again.
Even before Everblood could retort he found himself outside of the clan's home, which happened to be a modernized castle.
Because of the wound and the helplessness, Everblood couldn't even be bothered to get angry. When he was about to kill himself to hold onto his sanity, he saw another flash of light, a white one before everything went dark for Everblood.
"..."
"I've captured the target boss, this guy might make a decent addition to the army if we manage to treat that nasty dog bite, hahahah" said a 1.99 meter tall man, covered in a black cloak. When he stopped laughing he heard confirmation from his boss through his ear-piece.
"...Alright bring him here, it'll take a few years but I can heal him" said the boss with a voice modulator.
"You got it," replied the subordinate.
He then took out a blue shining cube that constantly spun in a circle on the man's very large hand. The spins got faster and faster until the man threw the cube to the ground.
It spun and expanded into what looked to be a spatial portal. He then grabbed Everblood on his shoulder and jumped through the portal. It closed up behind them and the cube disappeared, leaving the outside of the vampire clans home peaceful once again.
