Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

"so where was I. Yeah, I really appreciate all of you for coming on my birthday. It's really great to have you all here. Please enjoy to your fullest" Rachael smiles and comforts everybody as if she didn't just threaten everyone to cut their heads off. Boris while wiping his tears off "my girl is as cold as always. I'm so proud of her". Olga turns her head and tilts it a little and looks at Boris. "I knew you had a screw or two loose but you are crazy" Olga laughs loudly while taunting Boris.

*In the watch tower of the castle

"Hey, are you also seeing what I'm seeing" said a soldier to another. "But how is it possible. Quickly alarm the gaur--" before he could complete his sentence something cut his throat open and blood was splashed on the other guard as he was running towards the alarm "n-no, it can't be, how is this poss---".

*Back in the castle

Rachael is talking with the guests who are mainly there to elope their kids with Rachael. and as Rachael's guard he is also talking with everyone. and she suddenly sees a beautiful tanned woman sipping her champagne and calls her out "sister Vanessa" and runs towards her. The woman turns in the direction of the voice and starts smiling. "bunny, calm down. A lady should never run like this. now tell me how are you my dear?" asked the woman from Rachael who was struggling to catch a breath. "right now I'm trying to breathe. V why do we have to wear these things I can't even breathe in these" questions Rachael asking for water from the waiter. "because, my dear we are noble ladies we can't just be out in jeans and T-shirts. we aren't hunting a tiger, we are in a ball. Here drink some of this you'll feel good" explains Vanessa while chuckling. She turns towards Jake and says "you haven't met V, right?" Jake nodes.

"This is Vanessa Von Bathory, the first born daughter of noble Boris Von Bathory and my older sister" she scoffs and hugs Vanessa. The moment she tells him about Vanessa Jale kneels and apologizes for not recognising her. Vanessa asks him to stand up and tell him that she is not interested in these kinds of things. "V is also a general commander in the royal army of queen" said Rachael while showing off her older sister as a medal. "but don't go on her face she is two thousand years old" whispered Rachael in Jake's ear. "Umm, Rachael, I'm still here have you forgotten" said Vanessa with a cold look. "oh fuck, bye V I'll see you later i need to use the rest room. you stay here Jake I'll be right back" said Rachael while running off to the restroom as that was the only safe place for her.

As everybody was enjoying themselves suddenly a loud screech was heard by everybody. Somebody screamed "run, zions are here". Zion, a beast which only attacks vampires and is capable of killing a high ranking noble. Looks like a mixture of a humanoid monster and a werewolf. "Your highness, we must take you to safety first" said Boris while unsheathing his sword. "Don't worry Boris these puny little Zions can't even come near me. You take care of Rachael her powers are yet to awake" ordered Olga. "As you say your eminence. Gaurds stay near her majesty and don't leave her alone" commanded Boris to his personal guards.

Suddenly the windows broke and a horde of Zion attacked everyone. Everywhere blood started to splash. "Jake, where is Rachael?" Asked Boris while cleaning the blood off of his sword. "I don't know my lord. Before the attack she went to the restroom" replied worried Jake. Boris asks Jake to use his powers and find her. "O darkness, which resides in shadows, heed my plea and search the meadows" as Jake complete incantation a black mist covered to the ground of the whole castle. "Found her, my lord but she is bleeding. Fuck, you should stay here, my lord, I'll bring her back" said Jake while running off towards her. As Jake reached where Rachael was he was shocked.

Rachael already killed all of them and the blood wasn't actually hers. Only a few drops of her blood were coming out of her body. Jake helps Rachael to get up and before he could ask anything Rachael replied "don't ask me anything right now I have no idea what happened. I just remember I cut myself while I was dodging the attacks and next thing I remember 10 of them were on floor dead". "My lady, we can discuss details later. For now let's head back to the ball room" suggested Jake. Both of them ran back in the ball room where Olga had already taken care of all of them.

"tsk, tsk, what has happened to these Zions they are so weak" said saddened Olga as she was expecting a battle. "maybe you are just too powerful, you eminence. you took down fifty of them in a blink what are you a monster. you should learn to hold back" scolds Boris as if he was scolding his little sister.

Suddenly a Zion attacked Olga from behind and before she could react Rachael screamed "Aunt Olga, behind yo-" and suddenly the blood which was pouring out cut the Zion from the middle in two pieces. "Rachael, my dear, you are a Blood Weaver".
