The Accidental Vampire

Atlas had already checked the place where Lilith left him sitting to know if she left anything to let him know where she was going, but there was nothing other than a few marks of a formation being made there.

"Shall we go back to the carriage and wait for Lilith's return?"

Lancaster stood with the support of a tree while Atlas sat on the soft grass.

"It's alright. She will come back here when she's done. If she left me here, she must've thought something. She will come here when she's back."

"So we just wait here?"

"Yeah. I'll be entering meditation again to calm my heart. You can keep an eye on the surroundings." Atlas closed his eyes. "I need to calm my chaotic heart to learn the spell we need."

"What spell is that?" Lancaster inquired.

"The spell that is used to create the locket of Yovana," Atlas answered.

"You will be suppressing your bloodline? Won't that weaken you?"

Lancaster understood that suppressing his Bloodline could make him appear like an ordinary human, which could get him entry into the Kingdom of Wolves but there were also many flaws to it. Suppressing the Bloodline was never a good option, according to him, since it weakened the person, taking away their ability to protect themselves.

"Don't worry. I can't suppress my Bloodline even if I wanted to. This Bloodline is too powerful for any King of suppression according to Lilith," Atlas responded. "That's why Lilith will teach me a modified form of that spell after I'm ready.*

​ "Modified suppression spell? How will it work?"

"Instead of suppressing the Bloodline, that spell will suppress my aura and my scent. On the inside, I'll still be the old me, but on the outside, I'll appear like an ordinary human. Even Werewolves won't be able to sense me if I succeed."

"Is that really possible?" Lancaster was amazed that there were such spells.

A spell like this was too dangerous since it took away the biggest advantage of the Werewolves against the Vampires: their ability to sense the Vampires.

If all the Vampires had something like this, they could all infiltrate the Kingdom without even being caught, destroying the Kingdom from the inside.

Here it was just Atlas, so it wasn't that bad since he wasn't the enemy of the Wolves but this spell... In the wrong hands, this could be a disaster.

"Do other Witches know this spell too? Or only Lilith?"

Atlas could notice the worries of Lancaster. It didn't take him long to guess what this guy was talking about.

"There's no such spell yet, so there's no way for anyone to know it. Lilith is really talented in making spells. She will make this spell for me from scratch, so don't worry about it. This won't fall on the wrong hands."

"That is good."

"It is. With that, we should get an entry into the Kingdom. As for what to do after that, we will have to decide after seeing the conditions there. Now I'll stop talking. Please don't make any noise."

Atlas started focusing on his mind once again, which was even more chaotic after his current action. This frustrated him subconsciously, making things even more complicated and time-consuming for him to solve. He was sure it was going to take even longer now.

****

Yovana waited for Atlas and Lancaster near the carriage, getting bored. There was no one here for her to talk to other than the carriage driver and the two pets in the carriage.

She waited near the Carriage for a few hours before ultimately deciding that she needed to check herself where everyone was. At least she had Lancaster with her before to keep her company. Now that she was all alone, she felt as if the other three had intentionally left her behind.

She instructed the carriage driver to protect the carriage while she also advanced deeper into the forest in search of the three.

****

Lancaster stood near Atlas, keeping an eye on him.

He could hear the chirping of birds in the forest. Even the temperature was just perfect with a gentle breeze as the sky was covered in clouds.

"Hmm?" The serene atmosphere was broken for him as he heard the sound of footsteps. He became slightly alert as he moved closer to the footsteps.

"There you ar-"

Seeing Lancaster, Yovana exclaimed. She was so close to the place where Atlas was meditating that Lancaster couldn't let her speak so loudly. This had the potential of breaking his focus.

Lancaster closed the mouth of Yovana with his hands. "Don't speak so loud. He is meditating. We can't disturb him."

Yovana nodded her head repeatedly as if she understood what Lambard was implying.

Lambard freed the young lady's mouth. He didn't explain the whole thing about the spell since he didn't want Yovana to know about such a spell, but he did tell her that this meditation was important for them to have a successful entry into the kingdom.

He reminded Yovana once again to keep her mouth shut.

He brought Yovana to Atlas and told her to just sit there silently without making a single noise.

Yovana was someone who found being left alone boring but sitting here, unable to speak, was even more boring for her. Unfortunately, she herself chose to come here so she couldn't complain.

Twenty-four hours passed, and Atlas was still in his meditation. Both Yovana and Lancaster took turns guarding Atlas while the other person took a short nap.

Even now, Lilith hadn't returned, which made Lancaster worry about her. Usually, he never saw Lilith separate from Atlas. Not only did she leave him here, but it's been more than a day, yet she wasn't back.

He was starting to get worried about her, wondering if something had happened to her.

He didn't even know where she went. All he knew was that she went all alone, and no one had any idea where she went.

Lancaster understood how important Lilith was to Atlas. He didn't want anything to happen to her. He really hoped that she was safe and was going to be back, yet there was a bad feeling in his heart. Something didn't seem right about this disappearance.

Two more days passed, and Atlas finally finished his meditation. He slowly opened his eyes. He had managed to win over most of his demons, calming his heart.

His eyes appeared even more serene now. His aura also felt more refined.

Atlas noticed Yovana sleeping on the ground and Lancaster standing with his back resting against a tree.

"Is Lilith still not back?" he asked.
