The Accidental Vampire

Zhang still hadn't realized who Lilith was as Lilith casted a spell to hide any aura she might exude before coming here. Despite that, she knew that she couldn't fool the young man for longer.

"I asked why you were spying on me?" The man asked again after not getting an answer the first time.

Lilith knew she needed to come up with an answer fast. She couldn't let her man realize who she was, or this could start another battle which wasn't good for Atlas or her, especially since it was the Kingdom of Wolves.

"I've never seen you before in this city. You seemed really suspicious, so I was keeping an eye on you."

Since Lilith couldn't tell the truth, she told a story, making it seem like she lived in this city and was curious about this man's identity, who she never saw before.

"Hmm? Do I really look that suspicious?" Zhang couldn't help but smile.

He had met many people throughout his life, yet none called him suspicious or anything even close to that.

It was the first time he met someone who did.

"What's your name?" he asked the young lady.

"Zoya." Lilith made up a name.

"Well, Zoya. I'm not suspicious. I'm new to this city, and I'm a guest of King Razil. So you can stop looking at me like that. If you're still suspicious, I can take you to the King and have him confirm who I am." Zhang chuckled. "You want to try."

"Hmph, no need." Acting like a young kid, Lilith rolled her eyes. "I'll believe you this time."

She started walking away from the man, trying to get away from him since she knew it wasn't good to stay with the man for longer than needed.

"By the way, it's good to see you too, Lilith."

Lilith froze in her place, hearing the man call her by her real name. He knew who she was!

"We can't sit here waiting for her. We need to go search for Lilith." Atlas declared, standing up.

"Yovana, do you know any spell we can use to locate Lilith?"

"I've read the entire Grimoire, so I know some spells like that, but I can't cast them. I'm not a Witch."

"It's alright. I'll cast them." Since they had no choice, Atlas decided to do it himself.

Other than Lilith, there was only one person in this group who could perform a spell, and it was him, thanks to Castiel.

"Tell me which spell it is and how to use it."

Yovana found this demand of Atlas somewhat suspicious. Why was he asking her for this spell? He was an expert in spells himself. Why would he need her help? Moreover, when she was telling the story about Castiel, even then he acted strange. As these things stacked together, she was finding these things increasingly weird, yet she didn't point it out.

"I will." She agreed. "I'll bring Lady Lilith's book here. It's in the carriage."

"No need to bring it here. We're done here. We can go back to the carriage."

****

Yovana brought out the carriage from the carriage and tried to find the page with the locator spell.

"Here it is. You'll need an item from the person you want to locate to perform this spell." Yovana pointed out.

"That book is Lilith's. That should do." Atlas responded. "Anything else?"

"No, that should be enough."

Yovana handed over the book to Atlas and taught him how to use the spell as if she was teaching a baby. She went into detail about everything and how he needed to be completely focused to not mess up the spell.

After understanding the spell, Atlas told the two to stay silent as he cast the spell.

For a few minutes, there was complete silence. No one disturbed Atlas, who closed his eyes.

He soon opened his eyes. "I know where she is..."

"Where?" Lancaster and Yovana asked in unison.

Atlas pointed in the direction of the Kingdom.

"She is in that direction?"

Atlas nodded. "Not just in that direction. She is inside the Kingdom of Wolves already."

"Wait, what?"

"Why would she go there alone when we all needed to go together? What was she trying to accomplish?"

"Could it be that she's really caught by the Werewolves, and they took her there?" Lancaster highlighted

No matter how much they hyped her, in the end, there was still this one possibility which made most sense at this point. Why else would Lilith be inside that Empire without their knowledge?

"I'm not sure why she is inside. All I know is that she is inside, and she might need help."

"But how can we get inside that place without her teaching you the spell?" Lancaster highlighted. "Our entire plan depended on her teaching you the spell."

"What spell?* Yovana asked. "Maybe we can find it inside the book as well?"

Atlas shook his head. "You won't find that spell inside the book."

He turned to Lancaster. "Since it's about Lilith's safety, I can't afford to wait for a spell. She might be in danger. I'll go inside without the spell."

"How? They'll find you right away!"

"I know. I would've preferred to enter with that spell but if I can't, then so be it. It's time Castiel made an appearance to the world."

"But what about the risks? If you appeared so openly, the Werewolves might attack you before you even have a chance to speak. And even worse, news of your appearance will inevitably reach the Blood Council! Didn't you say that no one can know of your return?"

Yovana didn't understand Atlas's actions. Why was he going so far as to put himself in danger?

"We will cross that bridge when we get there. You two stay back. I'll go there alone. You two can't afford to be associated with me for now."

"I can't let you go alone. I'm coming with you." Lancaster insisted on coming alone, not willing to let Atlas go alone.

"I also want to come. I can protect myself." Yovana also chimed in, none willing to stay behind.

"I told you none of you are coming. It's final. You two can't afford to be associated with me. You two can come separately if you want to come but not with me. No one must know you're with me, alright?"

"If that's the case, then we will go before you. Because as soon as you make an appearance, the entire Kingdom would be sealed, and no one would be allowed to enter. Only way for us to get in is before you get there."

"Fine. You two go ahead. I'll wait here for an hour. Hurry up."

"How about you wait for twelve hours?" Lancaster suggested. "Since we're going in, we might find Lilith absolutely safe. If that's the case, we'll bring her back. If not, you can come?"

"Yeah, that does make sense. It's better than outright exposing yourself over a misunderstanding." Yovana also agreed with the new one.

"Six hours. I can't wait twelve hours if Lilith might be in danger. You two will have six hours..."
