The Accidental Vampire

"That's certainly interesting. Could it really be that one Witch had been spying on me?"

The young man's figure disappeared as he also ran in the same direction like a shadow.

He ran on the road, keeping an eye on his surroundings. He was sure that if the Witch had indeed stopped to spy on him, then he was certainly going to find the Carriage of those people not too far from here.

The dark-haired Vampire kept running at his fastest, but despite traveling for over ten kilometers, he couldn't find any carriage.

Ultimately, he stopped in the middle of the road, gazing in the distance with a deep frown on his face.

From behind him, the sound of a carriage getting closer fell in his ears. The young Vampire gazed back, noticing the dark Carriage getting closer to him.

The Carriage stopped before him. "Master, you left without telling me where you were going. I came after you. Should I take you back to the town?"

"No need. There's nothing left in that town for me at the moment." The dark-haired vampire shook his head in frustration.

"Take me back to my castle. I need to call an urgent meeting of the Council."

The man stepped inside the carriage and departed from the place, not knowing that Lilith wasn't too far from him.

Around twenty meters behind him, there stood another carriage on the side of the road which he or his carriage driver hadn't seen.

Atlas stood right around the carriage. One of his arms was wrapped around the slim waist of Yovana while the other was closing her mouth.

Everything happened so far that he didn't even get a chance to explain it to Yovana. He didn't want her to ask questions and get them caught, so he just closed her mouth. Meanwhile, Lilith cast a cloak around them and around the carriage, barely hiding just a few seconds before the Blood Council member arrived.

Lancaster was more understanding and didn't speak. He just stood against the carriage with his arms folded, keeping an eye on the road.

It was only after the Blood Council member left that Lilith stopped her spell. "We weren't too late. He didn't see them."

The carriage became visible once again.

"Yeah. But we don't have time to waste now. He will straight go to the Blood Council and you to convince them to help him." Atlas gazed in the distance.

"He would certainly try, but I don't think it's going to be easy for him," Lilith answered. "The Blood Council isn't just made of one person. To convince them to attack the Kingdom of Wolves isn't an easy task."

"It's like attacking the stronghold of the Werewolves. The battle would be awfully advantageous to the Werewolves. More than half of the Blood Council would be wiped in any condition."

"Mmm! Mmm!" The muffled voice of Yovana came as she started struggling in the arms of Atlas.

"Calm down. I'm not going to eat you up," Atlas answered as he freed the young lady. "I just forgot that you were in my arms."

Having her mouth freed, Yovana let out a sigh. "Did you two say that the Blood Council will attack the Kingdom of Wolves?"

"We don't know about the entire blood council, but that man certainly has a reason to," Lilith responded. "The meeting he talked about... I'm sure he'll raise this topic in the meeting."

"Why would he want to attack the Kingdom of Wolves when they refused last time?!" Yovana exclaimed in confusion.

"They refused?" Lilith glared at Yovana. "Don't tell me you went to them to ask for health first?"

"I had no choice. Only the Blood Council had the numbers. I asked them to free Lord Atlan, but they refused, citing it was too dangerous for them. That's when I started trying to find someone who would be even stronger than them... A Progenitor. I went from kingdom to kingdom, staying with the Vampire to find any clue about the whereabouts of their Progenitors."

"That's how I ended up with Carlisle and met you."

"You! You idiot!" Lilith grabbed her head in frustration. "So you're the reason they know the whereabouts of Atlan! I was wondering how they would know since the Werewolves won't declare that openly. So you're indirectly the reason we are in a race against time with the Blood Council!"

"I-i don't understand what you're trying to say, Lady Lilith. You're saying that it's because they know the whereabouts of Lord Atlan that they want to attack that place? Do they really want to free Lord Atlan? If it's true, can't we work together? With their numbers and Lord Castiel's strength, it would be even easier to free Lord Atlan!"

"Urgh." Atlan kicked a stone on the ground.

This girl was asking them to work with the Blood Council? She didn't realize that the Blood Council didn't want to free Atlan. Instead, they wanted a Key Fragment from him. If they found out that Castiel was here as well, instead of working together, they were all going to target him instead.

"Wait. If you went to the Blood Council, how is it that this person didn't recognize you before?" He turned around, thinking of something.

"You think I would go myself? I am not a Vampire. It's impossible to have a direct meeting with the Blood Council for me. I dealt with someone else who took my message to them and brought their message back. The Blood Council members never saw me," Yovana explained. "Still, as I said before, if they really want to help Lord Atlan, we should work with them."

"We can't." Atlas straight refused. "Why do you think they changed their mind to help Atlan suddenly now? It's not because they started caring for him out of nowhere!"

"Then why?"

Fearing that Atlas would tell the truth, Lilith stepped in. "It's because they don't want to free Atlan. They want to destroy him."

"It's impossible to destroy a Progenitor. They are the true Immortals."

"Not anymore. We found out why that man was here," Lilith replied, thinking of a clever idea to spin the story for herself.

"Why?"

"They were here to find the Ancestral Weapon. The Vampires are true Immortals and can't be killed even if you destroy their heart. At best, they can be imprisoned but not with the Ancestral Weapon. If there is anything in the world that can kill a Progenitor, it's the Ancestral Weapon!"

"The reason they want to get to Atlan isn't that they want to help him escape! It's because they want to kill him!"
