The Accidental Vampire

Atlas knew just how hard the first feasting could be. He drank a Vampire's blood as his first feast, which was even harder as it overwhelmed him entirely for a moment, sending him to Bloodlust. However, he didn't want Misella to go through the same.

He wanted her to start at something weak, which was human blood. And even if she somehow entered Bloodlust after her first taste of blood, he and Vor were still going to be there to keep her down so she couldn't hurt anyone as long as she was in that phase.

This was the safest option they had, but first, he needed to prepare her mentally for what was to come like he was prepared. And who better to prepare her with all this knowledge than Lilith.

Since Lilith was finding it so much fun, he decided to give this task to Lilith to get her engaged.

"Lilith knows more about it, so she will train you on how to be mentally prepared. After you are ready, we can go through it."

"Lilith, why don't you tell her more?" he asked Lilith, dragging her in the discussion as well.

Lilith glared at him, as if blaming him for tossing all the responsibility to her. However, she didn't say no. She agreed to him even now.

Misella was also a Progenitor now, and it was better if she knew the basics.

Lilith started explaining the things that Atlas left out, regarding the Bloodlust and how she needed to get her mind ready. She told Misella that she needed to get accustomed to blood and not get scared at the sight of blood.

Since Lilith took the lead in Misella's training, Atlas could take some time off from speaking. He occasionally looked out the carriage, but he didn't stop listening to what Lilith was saying. Whenever necessary, he chimed in to further explain what needed to be explained.

The carriage kept moving through the rough terrain, advancing to their destination.

After some time, Lilith finished her explanation and left the rest on Misella. She told Misella to start meditation, just like she had told Atlas before.

For a moment, there was complete silence in the carriage as no one spoke for the rest of the journey since no one wanted to disturb Misella's meditation.

There was only silence. Vor and Lancaster went to sleep. As Vor sat near the window, his head rested on the window as he slept while sitting. In the silence, even Lancaster didn't realize when he fell asleep.

His head rested on Vor's shoulder as he fell asleep. Feeling some weight on his shoulder, Vor opened his eyes. After realizing that it was sleeping Lancaster, he didn't disturb the young man and let him rest as he went to sleep.

Lilith sat on the other side, right between Misella and Luna, where Luna took the window this time. On the other side, Atlas sat beside Misella, taking the other window.

Atlas kept looking out the window. For some reason, the world seemed different to him now.

Now that he had removed the biggest burden from his shoulders, his mind was completely relaxed. There was no race anymore. He didn't need to do anything. Now all he needed to do was enjoy the life he had left as much as he could.

One Vampire... Just one Vampire had changed their lives forever. If it wasn't for Carlisle, none of them would've died in the Severis Castle. There were two deaths that day inside the Castle, one of Misella and other of his.

He had managed to reverse one of the deaths, which he found to be worth it. It was better that only one of them died instead of the two. Now, not only Misella couldn't die, but she was also one of the strongest beings in the world, which made Atlas happy.

"Hmm?" As the carriage moved through day and night, Atlas noticed something.

The path they were taking... The surroundings, it was all quite familiar. He had traveled through this same path once before. He also knew where this path led. It was the same path he had taken when he was leaving the Severis Castle for the first time.

Why were they back here? Weren't they going to the small village that Lilith suggested.

Since he hadn't seen the map that Lilith used, he didn't know if this was the path they needed to take to get to the small village in the North, but it looked like quite a big coincidence.

He tapped the shoulders of Lilith. "Why are we going to that place?"

Now that Misella was back, taking her to that same place where she died didn't look like a good thing.

"We need to take something from that place..." Lilith answered.

She showed the map to Atlas.

Atlas took the map and went through it. The map wasn't too detailed, but it did mention some things. He could see that the Severis Castle was marked as X, under which there was one word written. "Key."

After that, the map led to the small village that Lilith was talking about.

"What is this key for?" Atlas asked Lilith, not understanding. Why did they need a key just to go to a small village? Why couldn't this key be picked up later? Why was it so urgent to do it just now? This didn't add up.

"I have no idea." Lilith raised her shoulders in ignorance. I don't know why we need this key, but Castiel gave me this map. It is supposed to lead us to a safe place which should be in that small village. If I were to Guess, maybe this key opens that safe place?"

"You don't know for sure? Weren't you with Castiel for a long time? How do you not know about this supposed safe space?"

"He had a life even before he met me," Lilith answered. "I don't know everything about me. He just told me to go there after saving Misella. He said I'll know what to do with this map when it's time. When you told me that you needed a safe place to stay, I thought of this map, and realized that maybe it was why he gave me this map. In any case, we don't lose anything by taking that key."
