After the death of his people on the battlefield against Anastasia.
He was impaled with a wooden dagger.
A fatal injury, he was left for death to claim.
Lucas's hatred for humans grew even stronger.
His brothers lay lifeless on the dirt and he was close to joining them.
He didn't even realize that it was his hatred that saved him.
The only thing stronger than love is anger.
He was angry just seeing the corpse of those he was meant to live an eternity with.
The determination to kill the human that took everything from him was the only reason he lived.
His body pumped so much adrenaline to hold the wooden dagger and pull it out.
He lay there, awaiting regeneration that would allow him to move.
Then he started searching for Drago.
His movement was slowed because wasn't fully regenerated but that didn't stop him.
With blood streaming down his face, he said-
"Your blood would be the only thing that shall quench my burning hatred for you human"
Before he could get to the final battle between Drago and Anastasia, it was already over.
Drago was nowhere to be seen and her body was split in too, lifeless on the ground.
That changed nothing.
Waldron jumped on top of her and ripped her head off
One by one he tore off all parts of her limbs and kept punching her chest as he bit her. Sucking the blood in every part of her body.
Anastasia's body was becoming an artefact before time even got to her.
Covered in blood, losing his master.
Waldron had no purpose anymore.
He has to learn the way of the humans and how to live side by side with the race that did this to his people
That was an impossibility for him.
While Drago went on his quest to be human
So did Waldron, he decided to stay in the forest.
Away from the disgusting creatures he saw that ruled the world.
Living became harder since he started drinking the blood of animals.
It was unsatisfactory to him.
He was hut with a strong wave of
confusion because he wondered why he could smell Drago but his scent was mixed with that of a human.
Drago's smelt different so he never approached him thinking that it may be someone else with a similar scent.
He decided to learn the way humans reside with one another.
This was a task that he could never have imagined to be so difficult
The first human he encountered had him on his toes
He had PTSD from the night of their downfall.
It was beyond hard to stand near a human without the feeling of fear.
A feeling he doesn't understand also
He met a homeless human and had a conversation with him
"Human, tell me what I must do to survive here"
"Whoa, well hello. You don't seem like you're from around here, what's your name?:
"I am Waldron, right hand to Lord Drago the leader of the Vampires."
"I guess you're on something then, well Waldron is a unique name and no one here has heard of that and if you're a vampire you'll need to change your name to blend in. People fear what they don't know and shun them easily."
"Start by changing your name... you look like a Lucas if you asked me"
"Lucas... I heed your advice. What must I do to climb the ranks of the humans"
"Ranks?.. pfft, you really might be a vampire. If you want a good life you need money, ranks don't matter if you
eat well, dress well, and smell nice. The hierarchy you may know is different from what happens here. Try getting a job of some sort. Make money and make sure you live a good life, that's all that matters in my book."
"Your kindness will be rewarded human"
"Well, I'll be waiting. One last thing, stop saying human all the time, everyone is considered to be human here so it's not wise I'd say"
"I see hu-, what is your name?"
"Well I'm just a nobody, but you can call me Frank. Frank the nobody (chuckles)"
"I am grateful, Frank. I will be back to repay my debt"
Waldron thought, "Lucas, a new name is acquired. Now I must find 'Money'"
Lucas was also homeless but a vampire is never homeless if there are dark corners all over the city.
He slept in a dark alley.
In the city, every dark spot is just a shadow that emerges because the sun is away.
Lucas was woken up by a single ray of sunlight that beamed on his skin
He instantly jumped out of the ray, hitting his head on the wall.
The morning just began and he was trapped by light.
How he would escape was unknown but he was hungry
Lucas targeted a few humans
The thieves that roam the alleys wanted a fight with him.
Unfortunately, it ended badly for the thieves.
The power difference was too pronounced.
His speed was unparalleled
There was no way that they could take him at once even if they went at him all together.
They all met the same fate as Lucas sucked their blood and put their dried bodies in the garbage.
He was recharged, after drinking blood from different animals for over two weeks
He finally had blood that could quench his hunger.
It was beyond satisfying to him and he didn't even realize that he saved more people from being robbed and killed.
Drago still roamed around searching for answers
It took Lucas over a year to understand humans and accumulate wealth.
Lucas's next mission was to find Drago.
Before doing that he had one important thing to do.
Lucas found Frank, in the same place he met him a year ago when he came to the city.
"Even a vampire made it in life faster than me, I'm useless ain't I? (chuckles- coughs)"
"Frank, it's been a while, how have you been the past year"
"Well I think the bad water I've been drinking finally caught up to me, death be waving me"
"I came to repay my debt for the kindness you showed me."
"Kindness? What are you saying boy, anyone would have done that and I'm just a nobody. You don't owe me nothin' at all"
"What's wrong with your health if I may ask?"
"Your English got good I see, well I got a bad case of cholera it seems and it's been in my blood for a long. I may as well just accept my fate now."
"Can you walk a little?"
"And leave my home? What it I robbed?(pfft... haha- coughs out blood)"
"I may be dying but it doesn't mean my smile gotta fade"
"Follow me Frank, a good life is all you deserve"
Lucas took Frank to the hospital, paid all his bills, and brought him to his new home
"From now, you'll stay with me. Your words are what got me this far and thank you
would be an understatement. A good life with the best treatment is all you'll get. And besides, I'll be leaving for some time so I'll need someone to look over all this for me. What do you say, Frank?"
"I don't want nothin' free, give me a job here instead and your butler or somethin'. I've been poor not because I don't have people to take care of me but I don't have people to see value in me."
"I'm not some dying old man goddammit, give me a purpose."
"I want someone to take care of the house, spend my money on, and be the head of this home. I don't know who else can do this apart from the only father figure I know"
"Will you accept the job?"
"What's my pay?"
"1135, that's your pay. The card is on the shelf."
"Finally, a purpose and it comes with riches too(he bursts out laughing)"
"If you feel your time is coming close, use the same pin and input it in my safe. You'll see a cup of blood there, if you ever want to become a vampire and be with me forever, drink it before my return and if you don't, I'll be with you in your final days."
"You betcha', be safe Lucas."
Lucas left as his debt was repaid.
His search for Drago began, it was going to be a hard one but he was convinced that
Drago was alive.
He embarked on his journey
Going back to places where he could get Drago's scent. He searched far and wide until a very non-human smell hit him.
He smelt Emma's essence.
He was shaken for he had never encountered such a hybrid.
It was human and vampire at the same time and then he smelt Drago there with it.
He was sure that it was Drago but the hybrid was always with him so he wondered why
Not so long after Drago came to him
And that was their encounter together.
They both realized who they w
ere after a brief conversation.
Lucas's Journey wasn't that long but he also learned to adapt to the human world.
And now, the search continues
