The Accidental Vampire

Still on his knees, Atlas moved closer to Misella. He held her hand.

"As I said, there is nothing you or I could do. We are just humans. We aren't gods," the doctor consoled him.

"Gods? What gods?" Atlas raised his tear-covered face. "There are no gods to do justice! There are no heroes to protect us! There is no one for us..."

He gently touched the pale cheeks of Misella as he stared at her. "At least you are free from the shackles of this godless world. Fly free my dear sister... Fly far away from this sinful world and go where you belong... In the embrace of our dear mother in heaven..."

Drip~

A tear fell on the cheeks of Misella, falling from his eyes.

He was trying very hard not to cry, but he was failing badly. She was gone as well. He had no reason to stay here anymore...

"What will happen to her body here now?"  He looked back at the doctor, who was still looking at him with pity.

"Her body will stop making blood now, so she would be useless to the Vampires. She will probably be tossed to the wild beasts outside so they can feast on her."

"Wild beasts? After all that?" Atlas muttered blankly. "I... I can't let that happen. I can't let her body be desecrated... That's right! I'll leave this place! I'll bury her body properly in a place far away from here!"

Hearing the words of the doctor, Atlas realized he couldn't let Misella stay here even if she was dead. He reached out his hand to pick up Misella, only to be stopped by the doctor who grabbed his hand.

"I am sorry, but I can't let you do that. No one is allowed to attempt an escape, especially with a body from this lab. Since the body is here, it's my responsibility that it stays here! Kid, step back from the body!"

"She doesn't belong to anyone! She is my sister. I shall decide how her body is laid to rest!" Atlas roared like a wild beast.

"Kid, don't test your luck. I already gave you plenty of consideration. That's all you'll get. Now scram back to your cell!" The doctor pushed Atlas aside as his gaze turned sharp.

He was certainly powerful before Atlas's weak body. With a single push from the man, Atlas fell to the ground.

Still, Atlas knew he couldn't sit back and watch. He watched his sister being killed, unable to do anything. But he wasn't going to watch her body being fed to the beasts like it was some trash!

He stood up and looked around, trying to see what he could use. If his body wasn't strong, he was going to use his surroundings like before!

Soon, his gaze fell on something. The entire hall was empty, having only one doctor here, but there were certainly some items here that he could use.

He saw one of them nearby. An injection was lying near one of the beds, unused.

The doctor started observing the wounds on Misella's body.  He didn't realize that Atlas was slowly moving towards another bed. Atlas carefully picked up the injection and started walking back to the doctor. Unfortunately, his footsteps alerted the white-robed man.

"You won't learn, it seems. Let me toss you in the cell first before starting with your sister." The Doctor glared at Atlas. He still didn't notice the injection in his hand that Atlas was hiding behind his back.

Instead, he just saw one agitated kid getting close to him, which wasn't intimidating in the least for him.

Atlas soon reached the doctor, who had his guard down. The doctor swung his hand to slap Atlas.

Slap~

Atlas didn't avoid the slap, letting it hit his pale cheeks, which started tingling with pain from the powerful slap. However, that much was enough for him. He had already closed the distance.

He was close enough to the doctor. He thrust the injection towards the man's neck, stabbing him before forcing the entire liquid which was inside the injection into his body.

As the injection stabbed the neck of the doctor, the doctor yelled in pain, holding his neck. He could feel his neck burning. His neck turned red as some kind of infection started spreading around his torso. Pain overwhelmed him.

"You bastard!" The doctor grabbed Atlas by the throat and started choking him.

The oxygen was getting scarce as Atlas was choked. He started having trouble breathing. He knew that if he didn't do something fast, he was going to die as well.

He couldn't let that happen! He needed to escape with Misella! He couldn't let her suffer here even in death! He pulled the injection out of the man's neck and stabbed the same in the right eye of the doctor this time.

"Arghhhh!" An even louder scream came from the doctor.

The doctor yelled out loud as his grip became weak, freeing Atlas. He pulled the injection out of his eyes and applied some pressure on his eyes which were bleeding by now.

The Doctor kept screaming in pain as he dropped to the ground. He also started having trouble breathing and soon felt like he was being suffocated. His face turned pale as he felt his heartbeat getting irregular. Before long, everything stopped. His eyes closed, and his heartbeat stopped.

Watching the man fall down, Atlas picked up the body of Misella.

"Come on sister, time to leave this place. I promised you that we were going to leave this place together someday! I'm going to keep that promise now, even if it's too late!"

Carrying his sister, Atlas ran to the door. He pushed the door open.

Thum~

As soon as Atlas left through the door, he was forced to stop at the sight of tens of guards that were blocking the path.

"There he is! He must've been the one who attacked Elder Won! Capture him!" The guard in the lead yelled in Atlas's direction.

All the guards ran towards him. Seeing no choice, Atlas ran in the other direction towards the canteen. Pushing the canteen door open, he barged inside, trying to give him some time to think of a plan.

The canteen was completely empty as all the kids had eaten, and they were in the cells now.  Fortunately, the door was left open. After entering, Atlas tried to close the door behind him.

Boom~

He was just about to lock the door when the door was forced open with brute strength. The impact was enough to send Atlas flying back. He dropped to the ground. Misella's limp body also fell far away from him.

"You think you can hide after killing a person here?" One of the guards glared at Atlas, stepping closer. "People like you can't escape the consequences of your actions! It's time you get your punishment."

Clenching his fist, Atlas forced his body up.

Atlas was already very weak today because of all the blood loss, and on top of that, he had to carry his sister. Only he knew how he was still able to stand even after all this.

"Consequences of my action?! From where I'm standing, your consequences only apply to weak people who just want to survive. For the strong, there are no consequences! Aren't I right?"
