Chereads / Evanescent Descent / Chapter 14 - The Meeting

Chapter 14 - The Meeting

(Vanessa POV)

I leave the manor to go to the 5 houses meeting that was scheduled today.

While heading to the meeting I recall the other 4 house heads.

They all have powerful blood styles, blood styles are when you manipulate your or someone else's blood and use it like magic. Every single bloodline has special blood properties, some are as hot as magma and can burn through many things when manipulated, and others can freeze people. It depends on your bloodline. When you manipulate blood you bring out the latent effect of your blood and amplify them. When you drink blood those don't take effect unless someone specifically manipulates and decides to activate the effects.

Margret Bloodeth- The head of the Bloodeth house: female, she wears a blue one-piece dress, 5"10, has blood red hair that goes down to her shoulder, onyx black eyes, pale white skin (like every other vampire),150 years old but looks 24. They are naturally gifted with blood usage and their blood allows them to control others if their blood gets in their bloodstream, also known as the puppeteers, they are the only family that can fully control people.

Vereth Batcock- The head of the Batcock house: Male, 6 feet tall, wears a suit, brown jacket, black waistcoat, and black trousers, Bat black hair that goes to the top of his forehead, bat brown eyes, 250 years old but looks 27. Their blood can turn into mini bats, but the main usage of the blood is poisonous for all races including vampires.

Evan Moonlit- The head of the Moonlit house: Male, 5"11, wears a suit, wears a grey jacket, Azure blue waistcoat, black trousers, Violet purple eyes, Royal blue hair 350 years old, looks 28. Their family becomes stronger when the moon is out, it increases their strength in aspect meaning, they have a faster regeneration, better control of their blood, faster bat transformation, better physical strength, and more resistance to silver, and faster reaction time. It increases by increments (New moon- 1.5, Waxing crescent-1.75 First quarter- 1.8, Waxing gibbous-1.9, Full moon-2, Waning gibbous-1.9, Last quarter- 1.8, Waning crescent- 1.75.

Elisa Silverette- The head of the Silverette house: Female, 6"0, wears an emerald green two-piece dress, turquoise hair that goes a little further than the shoulders, silver eyes, is 200 looks 26. Their blood specializes in slowing or stopping natural regeneration, it also hurts a lot more than a normal wound, also the blood looks silver and is more effective on vampires.

The powers are pretty balanced between them but my powers are also strong. My blood makes it so whenever I manipulate my blood It can suck anything in being other blood, mana, fire anything and take energy away and give it back to me, kind of like a black hole. It negates a lot of moves, but it has a size limit on it, the last thing my blood can do is take bloodlines and merge their abilities and store them in a couple of my blood cells, but it is a one-time use. For example, if I merged Batcock's and Silverette's it does both of their effects would go off when I hit someone with it but after I hit it I can't reuse the effects, I can reuse the blood though.

I take a carriage there and we arrive in about 30 minutes.

As soon as I enter the meeting place I see 3 of the 4 household heads seated in their seat.

I take a seat and patiently wait for the last head to arrive.

After a couple of minutes, the last head arrives.

Drinks are being served by servants and everyone states their name and household to make sure everyone is attending.

"Margret Bloodeth, I am in attendance"

"Vereth Batcock, present"

"Evan Moonlit, (raises hand) right here"

"Elisa Silverette, at your service"

"Vanessa Valtera, In the blood"

Margret- So let's all agree to start this meeting.

Margret- We have big news I hear Vanessa "adopted a kid".

Vereth- Well I guess it's something we should have expected because she hasn't taken anyone as a suitor and she always wonders what it is like to have a child.

Elisa- So we aren't going to talk about the fact that the child isn't the same race as us?

Evan- Do you want to explain that one Vanessa you know we can't trust the other races?

Vanessa- I have personally judged his character and you know that if I wanted to I could make him say anything I wanted to with my blood style, so I am not that worried.

Elisa- I don't approve how about we all visit that child?

Vanessa- I don't appreciate that but if you want I can bring him to when we decide to meet up again in a couple of days to decide what you want to do with him. But I will fight for him I think you will like him also. I am so dedicated I will give him my last name.

Evan- WOAH, you are going to give a human YOUR last name. You do know that you acknowledge that they are strong or grow strong in the future. Do you have that much confidence in him??

Vanessa- I do, and if he can't last 20 seconds against us with the restriction of no use of your blood effects, and staying slower than the speed of light. It doesn't matter which one of you, personally you all can do it and see if he is good enough for the vampires to take him in.

Elisa- I can't believe you said how old is this child, even if we use less than 20% of our strength you think he can survive 20 seconds?

Vereth- OK five days from now we all spar with him, You are making him sound strong but I will go into this not expecting much.

Vanessa- Promise me this if he wins let me take him in officially, he will stay at my manor but I will you guys be able to do stuff with him once and a while.
