The Accidental Vampire

It was after a long time when Lilith agreed with Atlas, and it was that they needed to see what the Blood Council was here for.

If it was anything special, the Blood Council could’ve sent any Vampire who worked under them, but they sent a direct member here, which highlighted how important this place was for them.

Leaving this place without even knowing what was here was wrong in so many ways.

“But… The Kingdom of Wolves… We shouldn’t really go against the Blood Council at this time. Maybe we can first free Lord Atlan and come here with him. With two Progenitors, we would have a much easier time, wouldn’t we? We should get going.”

Yovana didn’t want Atlas to waste time here when he could be doing more important things like helping her.

“You think those people will wait for us to return? They would be long gone by then.” Lilith rolled her eyes. “That aside, Atlan has already spent a long time imprisoned. I’m sure he won’t mind waiting a few months more.”

Yovana clenched her fist in displeasure, but she didn’t show it. Previously, she had a trump card that she could use to convince Atlas to help him. It was his sister, but now she didn’t have that advantage.

She needed their help, and she couldn’t force them with threats. She had tried before and saw the consequences. She had no other option but to wait.

It also wasn’t as if she could threaten Atlas with the threat of killing him. A Progenitor was a true Immortal who couldn’t be killed. Even their Souls were said to be Immortal that never died, and only went to a slumber when they wanted.

Even though she agreed to go along with Atlas, she did so unwillingly. On the inside, she was really infuriated. She kept her part of the promise and believed that Atlas was going to do the same since he was known as a very upright person in the past. Unfortunately, she just now realized that he was quite different than what was known about him.

He didn’t take his promise seriously.

“Lancaster, you stay here. If you come with us, we might get discovered. Just like awakened Werewolves can sense Vampires,Vampires can also sense awakened Werewolves,” Lilith instructed Lancaster. ” So stay here and keep an eye on Yovana.”.

Even though Lancaster was a powerful Royal Werewolf and massive support in battles, but he was also a nightmare if one was looking for stealth since he could be sensed by a powerful Vampire. The Blood Council members were the strongest there were, so it wasn’t impossible for them to sense Lancaster.

That was also why Atlas and Lilith came out of the city through the carriage so they could bring Lancaster out of the range of the Blood Council member.

“Wait, I understand why Lambard can’t come, but why can’t I come? I can’t be sensed. I also want to see what they’re up to since we’ve decided to waste our time here in any case. I want to come as well.”

“You can’t. There are just too many uncertain factors in taking you with us.” Lilith refused right away. “We worked as a team for a long time. We know how to work together, but with you in the mix, things might get complicated. The two of us will go alone. You two stay here. If we need you there, we’ll send a signal.”

Lilith cast a flight spell on her and Atlas. The two of them rose in the air and started flying back to the city, leaving the other two behind.

Lilith and Atlas landed at the entrance of the city.

“Just wait a second. Let me see where he is.”

Lilith bit her thumb once again, letting it bleed.

“If you keep letting yourself bleed out like that, things might get bad, you know?” Atlas asked. It was the second time he had seen Lilith bite her thumb to let herself bleed to cast a spell. “You aren’t a Vampire after all.”

“Don’t worry. This much blood loss is nothing. I’ll be fine,” Lilith answered as she created a circle on the ground with her thumb. “It’s needed to cast a large-scale spell. It’s like a conduit between my aura and natural energy.”

Lilith finished her spell before standing up.

Atlas held the hand of Lilith, raising it up. He could see that her bleeding had stopped, but the bite wound was still there.

“So every time you use a spell like that, you hurt yourself? You know I used to be a human. I know how much something like that would hurt. You should treat yourself better,”

Lilith didn’t know why, but with her hand in the hands of Atlas, she felt something, especially when she gazed into his eyes. It wasn’t just false worries.

“Why do you get worried over such a small wound? Do you really care that much for me? Why?” Lilith inquired, despite knowing how odd this statement sounds.

“Why wouldn’t I care for you?” Atlas asked. “You’re the only one I have in this world who truly knows me. You’re the only one who helped me when I needed help the most. Even though you were somewhat stubborn, you always helped me. You hold a really special place in my life, so of course, I would care for you.”

Lilith snatched her hand back from Atlas as she heard her statement. She didn’t know why, but she felt her heart skip a beat as Atlas spoke those words. She turned her back on him. “I have to use my Blood for some spells. There is no other choice.”

“Of course, there is a choice,” Atlas responded. “If you really need your blood for spells, there are people who can take out a small amount of blood from your veins and store it somewhat that you can carry. That way, you won’t have to make yourself bleed again and again. Just like…”

“Like Lia used to do,” Lilith completed Atlas’ statement.

Even though Lia didn’t carry her own blood in her locket, the blood in her locket was also a source of energy. The principles behind that were similar to what Lilith did. The only difference was that Lilith didn’t need someone else’s blood, and she only needed it for large-scale spells, unlike Lia.

“I will think about it. First, let’s focus on what’s happening in this city.”

Lilith changed the topic swiftly and focused on the spell formation, which had started shining.

She closed her eyes and searched the entire city, seeing every place at once.
