Chereads / A Vampire Knight's Destiny / Chapter 62 - Awakening

Chapter 62 - Awakening

One Month Later, After Chase's rescued from Benson's clutches, he spent a considerable time in bed, his body wrapped in bandages like a cocoon, undergoing tremendous healing, Throughout this period, the green griffin knights were defeated and never attacked again. Talia kingdom focused on assisting its citizens in rebuilding their lives and businesses from the ashes.

Under the veil of a shadowy night, inside Ava's house, Chase lay on her bed, his once bony form now wrapped in fresh bandages from head to toe, except his left arm after Benson cut it off it couldn't be reattached, Ava sat beside him, her eyes swollen from days of crying and sleepless nights spent watching over him.

"I'm sorry I couldn't find you earlier," Ava kept murmuring, her words a remorseful melody. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you," she lamented, yearning for a chance to change the events that unfolded. "Chase, I wish that you were awake. I really miss you," she whispered sadly, her emotions echoing through the room. But unbeknownst to her, a subtle stirring had begun within Chase's unconscious body.

Inside Chase's mind, Like a realm shrouded in darkness, surrounded him like an abyss. His transparent blue figure, ethereal as mist, traversed this enigmatic realm, seeking answers to questions that echoed like an eerie symphony. "Help! Is anyone there?" he called out, the sound of his own voice ricocheting in the empty space, While walking he was thinking where am I? and why am I surrounded by darkness?.

Suddenly, a crimson red, beaming, and glowing eye emerged before him, catching Chase off guard. Startled, he stumbled backward, his heart pounding in his chest. "Who are you? What are you? Why won't you leave me alone?" he pleaded, the questions laced with fear.

After running for what seemed like an eternity, Chase came across a massive black and red castle pulsing with magic and surrounded by green fire."What's a castle doing here?" He asked, puzzled by the strange sight. As he approached the castle, it transformed into thousands of black bats" What the fuck" intrigued as he got closer.

Among the bats, one transformed into a tall man resembling Chase but missing an arm, clad in dark black and red armor, holding a red spear. "Why does it look like me," he said bewildered in front of the knight, at the same moment the bat turned into a tall man similar looking to chase again but this time missing one arm wearing a black cape, wearing a golden demon horn mask, holding a black sword, both them just stared at each other the knight with glowing black eye and the cape man with glowing red eyes.

Chase put his hand on his chin, His mind raced with possibilities, pondering the significance of this encounter in a world of darkness"There are two versions is it saying that's me in the future?"Chase said raising his eyebrow.

Suddenly, the bats turned into a thousand small glowing eyes, "Fuck" triggering Chase's fear of multiple eyes. Overwhelmed, he felt on the verge of passing out, The eyes turned back into a bat, and Chase, still trembling, was attacked by a glowing red-eyed bat. The bat slammed into him, sending him flying, as he landed slamming into the ground his figure disappeared into multiple tiny blue butterflies.

Back in Ava's room, she continued to watch over Chase, unaware of the tumultuous journey he was experiencing within his mind. The moonlight, like a spectral visitor, filtered through the window, casting an eerie glow on Chase's still body, wrapped in bandages like a cocoon. The air carried a heavy scent of decay, a reminder of his recent ordeal.

As the midnight hour drew near, an unseen force began to stir, like a phantom's touch brushing against Chase's slumbering form. Shadows danced across the room, swirling around him like ethereal ribbons. In the midst of this spectral ballet, Chase's body began to undergo a transformation, his physical form evolving into something otherworldly.

Invisible tendrils made of darkness coiled around his body, A haunting melody, carried on the wind, swirled around the room, Amidst the ethereal symphony, Chase's body began to undergo a transformation, growing two inches taller, his face change into a godly appearance from another world, his fair skin took on an ethereal paleness, shimmering with a hint of otherworldly glow, his some of obsidian black turned pure white, His obsidian eyes flickered beneath his closed lids, their radiant red glow seeping through the thin veil of his unconsciousness.

From within, Chase's dormant instincts awakened, Elongated fangs slowly emerged from his upper canines, their polished ivory gleaming in the moonlight, his nails grew into sharp claws ripping through his bandage as if seeking to pierce the veil between the realms of dreams and reality, As the transformation reached its zenith, a surge of energy rippled through his body,

Ava who was looking out the window hear a crackle."Hmm, what going up?"The air crackled with an electric charge, With a sudden gasp, Chase's eyes snapped open, their once deep obsidian black now blazing with a vibrant crimson-red hue. His awakening was accompanied by a surge of energy that seemed to ripple through the air.

Chase, felt confusion and curiosity danced in his awakened eyes, and he instinctively touched his elongated fangs, feeling their newfound prominence. As he gazed at his sharpened claws, a mix of awe and trepidation coursed through his veins.

"Chase," Ava's voice quivered as she approached, But the once familiar figure before her seemed different, as if a newfound aura enveloped him, cloaking him in a mysterious allure.

"Chase," Ava called out again, her heart filled with worry, unaware of the changes that had occurred within him. Yet, her instincts sensed that something was amiss.

Chase turned to face her, his crimson eyes locked onto her with an intense death stare, like a lone wolf standing against the moonlit sky, He moved closer to her, his vampiric instincts awakening, A sense of foreboding washed over Ava, her heart trembling with fear.

Chase jumped off the bed and slowly walked toward Ava every step left misty air behind him"C-Chase, don't do anything you'll regret later," Ava pleaded, but Chase seemed compelled to act. He leaned towards her neck, his fangs seeking her blood from her pulsing veins. However, he stopped himself just in time and leaped out of the window, leaving Ava startled and bewildered.

Outside, Chase jumped from rooftop to rooftop, driven by his new vampiric instincts. In a dark alley, he encountered a woman, he jumped down into the shadow following the woman, 'No' He thought fighting his inner conflict.

The woman suddenly turned around looking back down the alleyway toward Chase "Hmm!" seeing nothing the woman turned back, at the same time Chase's vampire instinct kicked at a very fast speed leaving shadowy images, he appeared behind the woman, his stretching out his right hand slowly shaking as he tried to hold back, his hand still moved toward the woman neck, as he got closer he heard the pulsing of the woman vein, smelling her strong blood.

Blocking the woman's mouth he pulled her back into the shadows, his sharp point fangs bear while the woman looked with a terrified face, he bit into her neck vein, the woman's blood started poring out flowing into Chase's fangs, some flowing into his mouth, "Mmm" The women moan with pleasure but also pain, vampire's teeth has aphrodisiac, Chase kept pulling the woman closer and holding her tighter as he drains her blood.

After a couple of minutes, the woman died as her body became white bony her eye filled with white, Chase released her looking up at the sky, enjoying the taste of the blood in his mouth, licking the remaining blood from around his lips he looked down at his bloodied hands as his hand trembled realizing what he just did.

Suddenly Chase heard the system notification reading it and then opening the interface.

After looking through the system usually, Chase will be excited but because of his broken mind, his mind focuses on getting his mother's ring back and killing Benson.

Looking down at his bandage up his shoulder then up to the moon"This is my life now I will deal with it" He spoke softly but his voice filled with bloodlust, the only person on his mind is Benson.

Suddenly, his claws and fangs retreated, and his vampiric features began to fade. Chase's mind cleared, though his left eye retained its pure crimson red hue, a constant reminder of the transformation he had undergone.

"I guess that was just my instinct or maybe a form that only comes at certain moments," Chase remarked, attempting to grasp the depth of his newfound power. His mind, burdened by memories of his mother's ring and his thirst for vengeance against Benson, remained preoccupied.

With determination in his heart, he resolved to deal with his new reality. Chase headed back to Ava's house, his thoughts filled with the uncertainty of what lay ahead.
