The Accidental Vampire

Instead of being worried about the possibility of the dead being able to come back, Lancaster’s mind went straight to the possibility of his parents being able to come back to life.

Just like Atlas had someone he cared about that he wanted back, Lancaster also had people. Instead of feeling weird about the desire to bring the dead back, he was able to understand where Atlas was coming from.

“So, is it really possible?” He asked again just to be sure that Atlas wasn’t joking with him

“Yes, it’s really possible. But not yet. I’ll tell you more about it when we have everything that we need…”

Lancaster could see that Atlas was keeping some things secret. It was as if he was intentionally being vague to some extent. Maybe because he was worried about being betrayed since his sister’s future was on the line. He understood that he might have done the same thing if he was in Atlas’ place. Trust was in its own place, but the family had an importance of their own.

There were more factors at play than just trust, including the matter that Lancaster was very weak. Even if he was trustworthy, the enemies were many who could catch Lancaster. They were essentially going against the gods of this world._.

If even Atlan could be caught, then Lancaster was nothing. Just because Atlan was able to go through the torture doesn’t mean everyone could go through the same, especially Lancaster, who was very young and wasn’t Immortal like them.

This news about how one could bring the dead back isn’t something that could be allowed to leak.

ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ Lancaster also realized the intricacies behind the secret. He didn’t really ask too much. If he needed to wait to see how it worked, then that’s what he was willing to do. He had been without his family for a long time. A few weeks were not too much compared to that.

The thing worth importance was that there was a possibility of being able to bring the dead back to the life. That was all he needed to know.

“I will be with you until the end. We will bring Misella back to life.” Lancaster agreed. He didn’t mention anything about wanting to bring his family back as well. He left that for the latter. He wanted to ask at the right time when Atlas was in a good mood. As for the right time, it was when Misella was back.

“By the way, there was something I wanted to talk to you about as well,” Lancaster stated, remembering that there was still something he needed Atlas to do for him.

It was already the next day, and soon, it was going to be the night of the full moon. Not only did he need to convince Atlas to fight him, but also to do it when he was at his wild self.

“What help? I doubt we have time to take a detour since we’re in a hurry, but if it’s possible to help you without changing paths, then I’ll try to do my best.”

Atlas didn’t realize what Lancaster wanted to ask, but he still agreed, as long as it didn’t waste too much time. He only had a month to find the remaining two key Fragments and to get to the village.

One month was barely enough to achieve all this.

“We won’t need to take a detour. We’ll just have to stop for a night,” Lancaster answered. “And it has to be tonight.”

“Stop tonight? For what?” Atlas frowned, confusion filled. He looked at Lilith, trying to gauge her reaction. She was so calm that it was as if she knew what Lancaster was going to ask.

“I want you to fight me tonight after I turn… I want you to fight me when I’m at my worst. And I want you to give it your all in the battle,” Lancaster responded.

He started speaking about why he wanted that, including what Castiel told him and how this was the only way for him to become stronger faster and control his other self to fully utilize his royal Bloodline.

Atlas remembered the moment when Castiel told Lancaster to be stronger. His soul was up at that time, but even he didn’t realize that the only way to do that was to fight him.

When Lancaster was in his Beastly Form, that was when he was at his strongest. However, tonight, he was going to be even stronger since tonight was the full moon.

Before this, every full moon, they had been keeping Lancaster tied, so he could’ve run wild. But this time, they had to let him be free. Not only was he going to be free, but he was going to attack him.

Atlas had practiced fighting with Lancaster, but that was all when Lancaster was in complete control. During the battle, both of them could go easy, without worrying about seriously being hurt or hurting anyone, but without control, the battle could be completely different.

Moreover, now that Atlas knew how the mark of protection deteriorated, he realized that it was based on how much strength he used. The one-month of estimate that was given to him by Castiel was depending on him using his strength only when it was absolutely necessary. If he used his strength here, the time was only going to decrease. Even he didn’t know how much it could go down.”

“So, will you fight me? I really need your help… I want strength, and only you can lead me to it. Also, it won’t be long! I’m sure I can gain control within an hour if I try my best! I am confident about it!”

Atlas looked down as if he was looking at the floor. However, he was immersed in his own thoughts, trying to see how he could do it without losing time.

‘If I fight, I’ll have to use my strength. And it’ll be a fierce battle, so I won’t be able to hold back. But if Lancaster can become stronger, he can help me even more in battles against the Blood Council and the future.’

‘Castiel also told him to become stronger, so there must be a reason.’

After checking the risks, the benefits, and the words of Castiel, Atlas finally came to a decision.

“Fine. I’ll do it.” He raised his head, nodding in agreement. “I’ll fight you.”

“If you two have decided, then so be it.” Lilith had left the decision on Atlas. Now that he agreed, she didn’t oppose either. Thus, it was finalized that Atlas was going to didn’t Lancaster.
