The Accidental Vampire

"Do you have a plan in mind when you say you want to meet the Vampires, or are you just emotional?" Lilith asked grimly. "Don't make a stupid decision. You are a long way from being ready for a battle."

Lilith kept trying to persuade Atlas, but he didn't listen. "I told you I'm not going to fight. I received a second opportunity in this life. I won't lose it this easily. I won't fight them yet."

"Then why do you need to meet them? If you want distraction, there are better ways to do it."

"I see no better way." Atlas shook his head. "Anyway, we are already done here. I think it's time we get to work."

With one hand in his pocket, Atlas walked to the exit. Lilith couldn't do anything to stop him but watch.

"Fine! Don't come crying to me when something goes wrong!"

"I won't need to."  Atlas smiled as he pulled the door open.

Before taking a step out, he glanced back at the doctor, who was still looking at Atlas like he was crazy. He noticed Atlas had been talking to himself since the start. For a moment, he even wondered if there was a spirit in the surrounding that only Atlas could see?

"After five minutes, get to work. I'll try to give you as much time as I can, but still, you should be fast. If we pull it successfully, even you'll be free of this hellhole."

After giving instructions, Atlas left the room, closing the door behind him.

He had a clever mind from the start. If he wanted, he could've attempted an escape a long time ago. It was only his lack of strength, determination, and his sister which was holding him back from attempting an escape.

Now that his weakness was gone, he had no fear of death. He could come up with plans and put them in motion.

The entire hallway was empty. There was no one there anymore to watch a lavishly dressed Vampire walk to the stairs. All the guards were sleeping in the lab with John.

Standing in the lab, John was still having second thoughts if he was doing the right thing. He was placing his life on the line.

He kept walking back and forth. "Sigh, I already helped him a bit. Now that I'm already in, I should go all the way in. Maybe he might actually succeed? If I truly can be free of this place, it won't be half bad."

Even though he was working here as a staff, it wasn't of his own will either. Instead, he was kidnapped from his town to come work here. He couldn't even say no since it was the Severis Clan who was asking.

He couldn't leave this place. But if the plan went through successfully, he was sure that he might actually be able to leave this place.

He covered all the bodies of the guards with a white bed sheet before he walked to a trolley.

Pushing the trolley, he left the lab as well.

.....

"Lilith, you said this Palace was made by your master?" Climbing the stairs, Atlas asked.

Even though he was acting confident about meeting the Severis Clan, he was still a bit uneasy about it after what happened in the first meeting. He didn't know how strong he was, but he was sure that Lord Severis was stronger at the moment.

There was also a bit of fear in his heart about the Vampires. Fortunately, his anger was overwhelming his anxiety at the moment, but that was when the Vampires weren't before him. He didn't know what was going to happen when he actually stood before the Vampires. He was taking a big risk.

"That's right. It was made by my Master. I don't know why the lineage of Progenitor Ramiel lives here. Maybe they thought it was an empty castle. If only they knew who this Palace belonged to. Let alone them; even Progenitor Ramiel would've thought twice before coming here!

"Lilith, I know about your Master. But what about the other three Progenitors? Are they also in deep slumber? Or could it be that they're still up? Are they friends of Lord Castiel? Can I ask them for help in that case?"

"Friends?" Lilith burst into laughter. "Those bastards are friends of no one! They wouldn't think twice before backstabbing you if it benefits them! Moreover, my master and they weren't close either. My master was different from them."

"I guess you can say that at the start, all four of them were close, but slowly their personalities changed as their conflicts started rising. They started drifting apart. So don't even think about going to them. They must not know about you!"

"Otherwise, they'll think that my Master is up. That will open Pandora's box of troubles for you! On the other hand, if they find out that you're a human who is in my Master's body, things would be much worse!" she further added.

From her tone, it was evident how serious she was. As Lilith was only a shadow, Atlas didn't know what her expressions were, but he could guess some things.

"Should I take that as confirmation that they're awake?" Atlas asked, frowning. "They are roaming around in this world somewhere?"

"I'm not actually sure," Lilith admitted weakly. "I don't know what happened after my Master went to sleep. It has been thousands of years since then, so maybe they went to Slumber by now? The last I knew of them, they were up."

"Alright, we're up. Time to go silent." Atlas reminded Lilith as he took his first step on the ground floor. For some reason, there wasn't any guard near the stairs on the ground floor, which made things easier for him.

However, instead of moving secretly, he walked openly, trying to find guards.

He walked to the Main Hall where he had last seen the Vampires. His footsteps echoed in the entire hallway.

"Strange. Where are all the guards? Did they place all the guards of this place downstairs?" Atlas wondered. However, he soon heard footsteps coming from the right hallway.

He looked to his left. He still didn't find a guard, but this time, he managed to find something even better!

A red-eyed Vampire was walking casually with a glass of blood in his hand. He seemed to be enjoying the blood, sipping it slowly.

The red-haired Vampire raised his head after taking another sip, finally noticing Atlas.

"Hmm?"

A slight frown appeared on Jovan's face as he noticed Atlas. Initially, he had thought that Atlas was just a guard, but why was a guard wearing such luxurious clothes? Moreover, he didn't know why, but he felt that there was something wrong with Atlas.

He stopped in his tracks as he raised his fingers towards Atlas, gesturing him to come closer.  "I haven't seen you before. Who are you?"

Atlas ignored the commands of Jovan. Not only that, he even refused to answer. He knew this was the time for him to be brave; otherwise, he could be in trouble.

"Call Severis. I don't talk to minions," Atlas arrogantly replied.

If Atlas could see Lilith's face, he would've seen her jaws drop. She couldn't believe what Atlas was doing. He said he only wanted to distract and not fight them but was this the way to distract? It was as if he was looking for a fight!

Even Atlas knew how big of a risk he was taking by using this tone, especially since he couldn't afford a proper battle because of the risk of Blood Urge.

If there was one person who was more shocked by what Atlas just did, it was Jovan. He couldn't come to believe his ears. A random man had called Lord Severis by his name. "You!"

There was only one punishment for something like this! Death! He didn't ask more questions and directly ran towards Atlas to attack. The glass of blood dropped from his hand, falling to the ground. The glass shattered as blood splashes flew everywhere.
