The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 21 It's Time We Meet Face To Face



Ten minutes later~

"What? It's impossible! You can't expect me to do this! If anyone finds out, I'll be killed!" John exclaimed in disbelief as he heard what Atlas wanted from him.

Hearing a refusal, Atlas' eyes squinted in frustration.

"Look, John. I am sure you know by now that I'm not a human. You still have no idea what I can do. Even if you go to your Vampires and tell them about me, they can't stop me from escaping. But if you did that, trust me when I say this that one day I'll return and that will be the day I kill you with my own hands!"

Even though Atlas issued such a serious threat, his face was perfectly calm. His eyes seemed completely serious, as if they were gazing deep into the soul of John.

"Going by your logic, if they find out that you helped me, they'll kill you," he further continued. "But that's dependent on if they find out. How will they know?"

"Leaving that aside, there's a good chance you'll survive if you help me. But if you didn't help me, there is a two hundred percent chance that you'll die. So don't play with your life. What do you say? Please don't force me to use compulsion on you?"

"Compulsion? You are a Vampire?!" John exclaimed in shock.

"Who else can have such speed and such strength?" Atlas asked lazily.

"B-but your eyes?" John stuttered. It was his first time seeing a Vampire who had green eyes.

"There are more Vampires than red-eyed ones," Atlas replied. "I'm from a different family of Vampires. Stop wasting my time now. Will you help me or not?"

Even now, John seemed scared. For some reason, Atlas felt like this wasn't going to work. This guy was too scared of the Severis family. He was probably going to tell them everything.

"Sigh, I didn't want to do this, but let me try."

He had seen Lord Carlisle use the compulsion on him. He decided to do the same even though Lilith advised him against it.

He stared deep into the eye of John. A light flashed in the eyes of Atlas. As soon as John looked into the eyes of Atlas, he found himself dazed. He couldn't take his eyes off.

"What are you doing?! Stop it, you idiot!" Lilith yelled, understanding what Atlas was trying.

Ignoring Lilith, Atlas kept his focus on John. "Stand up and call all the guards inside for discussion with you. They must not know that I'm here."

Within a second of using Compulsion, Atlas started feeling a thumping pain in his head. It was as if his head was about to explode.

John stood up with a plank look on his face and turned to the door. However, within a second, the compulsion broke.

Breathing heavily, Atlas sat with the support of his hand. This was truly harder than it looked. It really put a lot of pressure on his head. He couldn't even keep his compulsion for a few seconds without feeling like he was going to die.

"You can't do this. You aren't strong enough! You don't understand, do you! Idiot!" Lilith scolded Atlas.

Atlas felt someone hit the back of his head.

"Wait, you can touch me too?" Atlas asked, stunned.

"I can do much more than you think. Next time, listen to me! You're lucky you weren't injured after this reckless stunt!" Lilith snorted.

"It was worth a try," Atlas responded, sighing.

As compulsion was broken, John stood in his tracks, stunned! This was truly compulsion! He had only heard about it. It was the first time he saw it personally. This proved that Atlas was truly a Vampire.

"You are really a Vampire!" he exclaimed, turning back.

"Was there any doubt?" Atlas asked lazily. "Will you do it or not?"

"Sigh, I really don't want to do it, but do I have a choice? My life is in your hands now. And if I do one thing, it doesn't matter even if I told the Lords upstairs after that about you; they'll kill me. I can only help you, but for your safety and for mine, I have a suggestion." John walked back to an almirah in the corner.

He opened the Almirah and brought a small box out. He placed the box on a nearby table. "Since we're going to do it anyway, we might as well do it in such a way that we don't leave any evidence behind."

"How many guards are outside?" he asked.

"Eighteen," Atlas answered.

"I see. That should be just enough." John opened the small box.

Atlas walked to John and looked inside the box, noticing twenty vials inside that were filled with some kind of liquid.

"What is this?" Atlas asked, picking one of the vials.

"It's a drug that I recently bought for some research. It can make any human sleep for twenty-four hours. Moreover, after the person wakes up, they won't remember events up to one hour before being drugged," John explained. "So if we drug them with this, they'll just sleep, and even when they wake up, they won't know that I drugged them or about you."

Hearing the specialty of the items in the box, Atlas was impressed. This thing could be really helpful in this situation. Moreover, it looked like John was prepared to give it his all now. He was totally in.

"As there are eighteen outside, I would still have two left for an emergency," John said before opening a drawer. He pulled out eighteen injections and filled them all with the liquid one after another before placing them in a line on the table.

"Let me handle the rest. Since you said you don't want to kill personally, we'll take a different route." As John talked, he noticed a Metallic door in the middle of the room. "By the way, shouldn't you keep the door back? They'll know something is wrong if the first thing they see is a door in the middle of the room."

Atlas ran to the metallic door and picked it up before walking back to the freezing room. He placed the door standing at the opening to make it look like before. However, if someone was to look at it carefully, it wasn't hard to see that the door was standing by support.

"Even though it's not perfect, that should be enough for now, I guess," John commented. "So, shall I call them now?"

"Yeah, call them one by one. You distract them; I'll inject them." Atlas picked an injection.

As the plan was finalized, John went to the door and opened it. Atlas hid behind the door.

"Excuse me; I need some help! Can you come inside?" John called a guard.

Without thinking much, the guard followed him and entered the lab.

"What can I help you with?" the first guard asked as soon as he stepped inside the room. He didn't realize that Atlas was standing right behind him.

Before the guard could see something, Atlas appeared behind him. With one hand, he closed the mouth of the guard, while with the other, he stabbed the injection inside the body of the man.

The man's body turned weak as he dropped into the body of Atlas. Dragging his body to the side, Atlas kept the man in the corner. He placed an empty injection back and picked a new one.

"Call next."

...

Each time, the doctor called only one guard inside. Moreover, using his cleverness, he managed to find a new excuse each time to make sure that they weren't suspicious.

Within thirty minutes, all eighteen guards were lying inside the room, unconscious. All of them were placed on a bed and covered with a blanket.

John sat on the ground, seemingly tired. "Now, even if our plan goes wrong and we cancel in the middle, no one will know anything, especially these guards."

"Good work," Atlas complimented John. "Now for the main part of the plan. We need to go upstairs."

He started taking his guard clothes off. As soon as he opened his shirt, his new clothes fell down that he had tucked inside. He got dressed in the new clothes, returning to his previous lavish self.

"Are you sure you want to go upstairs in those clothes?" John asked, noticing Atlas changing his attire. "You know the Lords must be up? If you wear the attire of a guard, you could still avoid their attention for a second, but in these clothes, it'll be impossible!"

"Who says I want to avoid their attention?" Atlas responded innocently. "I think it's time we meet face to face."

"What?" John and Lilith both exclaimed at the same time in shock.

None of them were told about this when Atlas described his plan before. He was going to meet the lords of this mansion?

"Have you gone crazy?!" Lilith yelled. "What are you even thinking? Have you lost all sanity? You want to walk before those people on your own?"

"I'm not joking," Atlas answered. " It's really the time for me to meet the Severis Clan face to face. Moreover, that will give you the time and freedom to do your part. Otherwise, it'll be much harder for you to do your part without being caught."

"So my decision is final! I'll meet Lord Severis! I'll meet the person who thought Misella was his property to give her to Carlisle! His single refusal to Carlisle could've saved my sister's life! But he didn't do it."

Atlas knew this meeting had been long pending...
