The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 20 Gift To Remember



Closing the door, the doctor locked it from outside as he burst into laughter.

After a burst of hearty laughter, he stopped and looked back at the door. "If you wanted to fool me, you should've selected a better lie that wasn't so easy to catch."

"You really thought you could fool me by using the name of the Lordships? You didn't even know the basic thing that the girl's body was already taken! There is no way the Lordship would send you to bring something that wasn't even here!"

The man turned his back on the metallic door that was impossible to open without the key.

"I don't know what your purpose was for coming here or why you lied, but I'll leave that for others to find out. Until then, enjoy your freezing vacation!"

The doctor started leaving to inform the guards without even looking back.

Boom~

Just as the doctor was halfway through the room, about to leave to call the guards in, he heard a banging noise coming from the back. He abruptly turned around.

As soon as the man turned around, his face turned pale. What greeted him was a sight of a metallic door flying towards him.

Fearful for his life, the man suddenly dropped to the ground and rolled to the side to avoid the door which was flying toward him.

The heavy door missed him just by a few inches and moved past him to fall a few meters behind him.

The man's eyes were wide open in shock. He hadn't been this scared in his entire life as he had been just now when he saw death from up close.

"H-how?" he asked, watching a tall figure come out of the room. The man's figure was surrounded by a white mist that escaped from the room. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Just what was this strength? How did the man do it! Just who was he?

"That strength... You aren't a human!" The Doctor wanted to scream and call for help, but he was more sensible about it.

By now, he was sure that Atlas wasn't a human. Even if he called for help, this guy could easily take out the guards and kill him before the Vampire Lords could be alerted.

For him, his life was more important. He didn't want to alert the guards only to die in the process, as that wasn't worth it.

He didn't even try to run. He just pushed his body up and sat on his knees, watching Atlas get close to him.

Even Atlas was surprised at his reaction. "If you were this sensible before, I wouldn't have to waste my energy, would I?"

Reaching the man, Atlas also sat before him. "Now tell me. Where is the body of the girl? Where is Misella?! If I don't get an answer, you'll be soon giving company to the dead body in the freezer."

"The dead body... Who is that girl to you? Why do you want it? Who are you?" The Doctor asked, not understanding why this person was after the dead body of a human who was special in no way.

Atlas placed his fingers around the neck of the doctor. "That's none of your concern. Give me my answers! What did you do with the body?!"

The doctor felt like he was mere inches away from death as he felt Atlas's cold fingers brush against his throat. If Atlas wanted, he could crush his neck in an instant.

Not wanting to die, the man started speaking everything like a parrot. "I-i don't have it. The Lords asked me to bring her body up last night. It was a few hours after a crazy kid had killed the incharge of this lab. I personally took the body up."

"Why would they ask for her body? Did they already destroy it?" Atlas couldn't help but think of the worst. His fist tightened on its own in response.

"I-i truly don't know what happened to the body. My task was to pack it properly for the guests. What they do with the body, I have no idea!" the doctor exclaimed.

"The guests?" Atlas frowned. What did guests have to do with this?

"Yeah. There were guests who came here last night. Apparently, they were also the ones who killed the girl. However, after a few hours, it looks like they demanded the body of the girl. They also asked for the brother of the girl."

"Lord Severis agreed to their first demand and presented the girl's body to them as a gift for them to take. However, he refused their second demand and kept the boy since the boy had murdered our staff and he wanted to deal with the boy personally later on," the man explained.

He continued, taking a long breath. "The guests took the body of the girl and left. As for what they want with the body, I don't know. Maybe they'll use it as a showpiece or something. I can't guess. The only thing I know is that the girl is with them. She isn't here."

"That's why I immediately realized that you were lying when you asked for her body. Since her body isn't here, I can't lead you to her, but I can lead you to her brother if you want?" he added, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Since Atlas was asking for Misella, the doctor thought that he was close to her. And if he was close to her, it was evident that he must be close to her brother as well. He still didn't know both were the same.

To keep Atlas happy, the man knew he couldn't send him back empty-handed, or Atlas might kill them in anger. That's why he offered to take Atlas to the brother of Misella, unaware of the reality of the situation.

Atlas stood up, frowning. What would he do with himself? He needed his sister only!

"What do you think? Is he telling the truth?" Atlas asked, looking to his left.

The doctor looked to his right, wondering who Atlas was talking to. He couldn't see anyone there. Was this guy crazy?

"I think he is telling the truth. This guy looks like a coward. He won't lie to us," Lilith responded. "Now that we know your sister isn't here let's leave! We're done here!"

Atlas shook his head. "We can't leave yet! I won't leave this easily."

"What do you want to do then? There's nothing to do here!"

"Who says there's nothing to do here? These guys think they can treat us like toys? Do they think they own us to give us away to others at will? They didn't even let my sister's body rest in peace? I don't want to leave empty-handed from here. It's time I give them a little surprise for all they did!"

"You idiot, I told you it's not the time to fight them! You will end up digging your own grave! You can't fight! Get that inside that thick skull of yours this instant!" Lilith yelled, in shock that this guy was actually planning revenge in this condition. "We must leave! Don't forget you promised me that you'll listen to me!"

"Of course, I'll listen to you. But there's a difference between listening and doing," Atlas responded lazily. "Don't worry though. I won't fight them. I won't overestimate myself. I still have to get her back after all. However, who says I need to fight them to teach them a lesson?"

"Then? What do you want to do?" Lilith asked, confused. What could he do for his revenge without fighting these Vampires?

"You'll destroy their blood supply?" She guessed. "You know that won't matter to them. They can get more."

Atlas shook his head. "I won't do that. Since they had all been so nice to me. It's only fair that I treat them special. You'll know soon though. We just need to wait for a little while."

"By the way, can I use the compulsion as well?" he asked, suddenly thinking of something. "That would make things easier."

"I don't think you'll be able to control it yet." Lilith shook her head. "You need to strengthen your mindset for that. You've just lived for a few years. It'll put too much stress on your mind just to control one person. Don't even think about it!"

"Alright. I guess I'll do it the hard way then." Atlas cracked his knuckles. "I'll give them something that they'll never forget."

Seeing the confident look on Atlas' face, even Lilith couldn't understand what he was going to do. Just what was this kid thinking?

After a long conversation with Lilith, Atlas finally shifted his attention to the doctor. "What is your name?"

"John," the doctor answered.

"Well, John." Atlas went down to his knees and placed his hand on John's shoulder. "I have no enmity with you, and I don't want to kill anyone. So it would be good if you do as I say. If you do it, I'll allow you to live. We'll both get what we want then"

"W-what do you want?" John asked, not getting a good feeling. He didn't know why, but he was feeling very uneasy.
