As we all gathered together in the hideout and continued to keep an eye on Lucien's transformation, he suddenly opened his eyes, which were now red. Kol cheered first, and we celebrated. Aurora jumped on me for a kiss, and Klaus and Aro were most happy.
Aro was beyond excited. "Now that it works, I think I should proceed and become one."
As he was about to gulp down the remaining blood, he was stopped by me. "Wait, Aro, you can't just do that. This is just an experiment; we don't know what it turned him into."
"We need to test his limits, get to know his strengths, weaknesses—everything. After we are sure it's safe, we can try it."
Everyone in the room shared the same opinion. Dave said, "Come on now, let's get the test started. No need to go easy on this one."
Kol gave a maniacal smile as he first dragged Lucien into the sun, to which he sparkled. This surprised everyone, as it was a common weakness, but this one only sparkled, which fueled everyone's ego to find weaknesses.
After two days under every condition—sun, moon, cold, fire—beating him until cracks appeared on his skin and using magic to inspect him, we finally figured out all of his advantages and weaknesses. A secret piece of information was that if I use the bite of a Cold One to turn one , there is a 1/5 chance of turning into a Cold One or dying. However, that problem didn't occur because of the merged blood, which guarantees transformation, so there's no chance of Aro failing the transformation and guarantees me system reward Soul magic codex .
The strength of a Coldone starts around the same as a 500 year old tvd vampire , and the rate at which they grow stronger is also slower than tvd vampire but they do get a head start and a Cold one as old as 1000 years will with a good super power will be able to fight an Original.
I have to say this turned out a little different from the one in *Twilight*. Everything is the same as a normal Cold One, but a little change occurred: their skin, like the original, is cold to the touch, but they are not hard as stone; they feel more like Oobleck—soft, no different from normal human skin, but hardens upon impact and now can eat like other vampires and don't have to live only on blood diet.
And they have everything same as from the story Gold eyes if they don't drink human blood and red eyes when they do drink it.
Ah, I almost forgot: Lucien awakened the ability of camouflage if he stays still. After discovering this power, Aro's eyes sparkled with excitement as he urged everyone to let him transform. He was fueled with a desire to have his own unique power, as I told him that everyone would awaken different powers.
But despite all the disadvantages of being a Cold One, like the inability to sleep, he still wanted to be one. Celene backed away; she did not want to be this type of vampire—she still preferred to be the same as Klaus.
Celene: "No, sleep , no ability to hide as eye's color says everything ."
"Feels more like torture to me I much prefer to be like Klaus."
Klaus, faced with this, was contemplating as I revealed that I might have to experiment more, but I will eventually find a way to make her like Klaus. Hearing this, Klaus was happy enough to give me a hug. Which is basically making it up: I will just feed her the hybrid serum and reveal that vampirism can be spread when I feel the time is right, when I get my hands on a hybrid serum from the store.
I called for Kol and Finn, who were still using various tools to tortu… cough, experiment on Lucien, collecting various samples like his venom and hair, as if they were going to do some voodoo on him.
The thing is, New Cold Ones is almost like a ripper. Lucien doesn't jump on Tristan, Aro, or Celene because he would not do anything without orders, and I have ordered him not to drink blood for a while to see if he also gets mummified by the lack of it.
But we have to keep Aro in control as I can't just order him not to drink blood he has to learn to control the urges.
At sundown, we proceeded with Aro's transformation, which would be successful by morning, and unlike Lucien who was under orders not to drink blood he needed blood, so we started his transformation in the dungeons where there were plenty of prisoners to drink from. Klaus was the one who was told to keep an eye on Aro, as unlike Lucien, who is not affected by emotions, Aro would go out of control. He is Klaus's brother-in-law, after all.
While he transforms, let's explain how my blood works in this world, just like in *Twilight*, according to the system explanation.
It's like this: I am a Psychic and a Warlock, which affects and makes the possibility of power awakening possible in this world. Every Cold One's abilities they awaken will be linked to my Psychic or Warlock trait. For example, they will gain extraordinary beauty because of my beauty and charm, which is heightened by golden blood. Their original irises are golden; they turn crimson red when they drink human blood, and when they do not, they return to golden because it's a trait they inherited due to golden blood. Special powers, like Alice's future sight, have traces of Warlock blood. If you paid attention, Bonnie in season 1 mentioned she predicted the future, and Edward's mind reading and Aro's mind reading originate from my Psychic abilities. Alec and Jane, the two siblings, one causes pain and the other takes away senses, could also be done by magic or Psychic.
So, every Cold One's ability originates from my blood.
