《blood rose》 The color of blood ps guys: search the names of the songs in brackets and play then with each section it''s only a recomendation and for the huming search(jhin hum lol) now i know it''s weird but it fits so well Ever since Dave was little kid he knew he was special in many ways none of them good besides his look, sharp eyes and strong jaw line bald head by choice and a life of elegance and artistry even though he didn¡¯t have that much money is hand. He always had thoughts but never acted on them, mostly because he as afraid of what may happen next, his family might get in trouble his only family being his mother although he had a step father that trash of man can never live up to his real caring father who passed away after a stroke that went unnoticed while he was working abroad. Dave loved his mother just a she loved him although he was special his mother always treated normally and that¡¯s all he ever wanted to be tre..a..ted normally. 9 AM: alarm clock ringing, I move my hand to tape the phone accidently pushing it of the top of the drawer, I get angry for some reason and think why am like this. I stop the alarm and get ready to go out because I¡¯m going to have breakfast with my mom I, I wear a white shirt and black pants and slippers and head off, while playing music with my headphones listening to (Satie ¨C Gnossienne No. 1) a classic Dave found himself in love with the calm yet violent outbursts just as himself. As he makes his way to his moms house he looks at everyone¡¯s eyes in the bus or the street devoid of joy and peace, a truly inelegant display he thought to himself as he walked up the stairs to his mothers door knocking, his step father john opened the door looking at each other for second too long Dave walks in not bothering with john or even removing his headphones, the apartment was medium size with wooden setting that his father chose. Dave thought his father was a man of taste unlike the trash behind him free loading of my mother while using our inheritance, Dave gave his mother the inheritance to support herself as he didn¡¯t need the money, money for Dave was distraction that can show beauty but never truly attain it. I take off my headphones looking at john with eyes that can say million words not that he can know. ¡°where is my mother john.¡± ¡°she seems to be feeling off today I was wandering if we can postpone this breakfast to tomorrow or you can have it with me.¡± ¡°let me go check on her¡± As I walk to her room john seems so get nervous, I thought to myself ¡°he must have done something I hope he didn¡¯t do anything to my mother for. His. Sake.¡± As I was walking up, I trip in the stairs but didn¡¯t fall balanced myself¡± these stairs are uneven and should get fixed he thought¡± I played the next song just clam my nerves (Chopin Nocturnes) Then I went in the room to see my mother in bed covered in sheets and walked up to her grabbing her shoulder slowly to not scare her. ¡°mom you okay I came to have breakfast, but you look cold do want anything?¡± No reply ¡°Dave why don¡¯t leave her she seemed deep in sleep¡± John thought¡± ever since she tripped in the stairs yesterday, she was like this and bruised her right side of her chest badly if Dave saw this, he would think I did it and god knew what would happen then.¡± John said¡± last time she ate was last night at dinner that¡¯s when she tripped at the stairway same place you did.¡± I was getting furious if this asshole dares touch my mother I will¡­¡­. I will¡­¡­end him. I shake my mother, but she isn¡¯t waking up and I check if she is breathing. SHE ISN¡¯T. I get take off my headphones and phone and call the ambulance, as we waited, I was looking at john calmly thinking what type of breed this pathetic piece trash is beating my mom like that. But then it hit me he killed my mom I wrote off the inheritance to her they are married he takes all. A devourer a life taker, a murderer.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. John on the other hand was feeling shook about what happened, they were dancing having fine wine and a dinner they cooked themselves until she tripped on the way up. John looked at Dave who was sweating the corner, the ambiance was dim the light from the corner of the room shone on the back of his head making his face look darker. Was he smiling? Dave stood up slowly and went to the stereo system and plugged the aux cord to his phone playing (Opus 172 - "Army of Ghosts") John was flabbergasted and said¡± what are you doing your mother is that condition and you are playing music!¡± Dave on the other hand made the music louder and played the song during its climax to avoid john alerting the neighbours after all loud music is better than shouting. I turned around and looked john he was an ugly creature, but I can make him beautiful. I dashed towards him tackling him down to the ground, while john was shocked, he immediately started scratching and biting like the coward he was. While I was over him in the ground punching him, he bit my pinkie finger tearing the skin with his teeth. I then grabbed his collar and said¡± YOU THINK YOU CAN HURT MY MOTHERRR!¡± ¡°GRRAAAAAAGHHHHHH¡± I started to chock him while his started turning red and saliva coming out of the sides of his mouth slithering to the sides and touching my hands. I was disgusted by this filthy man but then said¡± no matter how nasty you are I can still make a masterpiece out of you¡±. Anger welled up inside Dave all his life was now released in one go at his mother death he has nothing to fear and no one to fear. While he was chocking john, who started to turn purple and role his eyes he heard the high pitch sound of sirens. Dave looked around saw a vase a vase his mother relished he took it off the mini table while his other hand-held john down. The moment the pressure relived a little john could breath again and started to thrash around as he thought¡± this bastard is really trying to kill me I didn¡¯t take him seriously and thought I might get a broken nose and lose a tooth before he came to his senses¡± He was beaten and tired tried crawling away until he felt an impact to his head blood started to flow down his head and warm sensation can be felt in his cheeks. Dave looked down saw that the vase splinters covered johns head so he can¡¯t use his hands unless he doesn¡¯t mind getting a few cuts. He looked down his body saw that aside from his wrinkled cloths and messed up pinkie finger he was relatively clean with no blood stains he made sure not to rub his hand in his shirt as he liked it and blood won¡¯t come out all the while john was squirming unable to get up. At this point Dave forgot about the ambulance and walked next to john staring down on him. ¡°like a cockroach you still hold on to your pathetic life¡± ¡°dave don¡¯t do this ple¡­..please you can still fix this I won¡¯t tell anyone I behhhh beeeeg youuuu.¡± John wasn¡¯t stuttering but the words just won¡¯t come out Dave thought although he is bleeding a lot if the ambulance make it time for mother they can still save him, SHIT the ambulance no way I¡¯m letting this man leave this apartment outside a body bag. I stomped his head with my feet covered in only a slipper, again and again and again until the side of his head caved in little with blood and puss coming out of the splinter wounds. He mouth gurgled a little until his life was stuffed out beneath my feet like the filth he is, as I walked over the blood covered wood floor I lose my grip to the floor and slip falling in the pool of blood with my white shirt and quickly get up the side of my shirt blood red like I just killed someone which I just did. I look down and I¡¯m not angry at myself in fact I¡¯m mesmerised by the pattern created by the blood its colour and metallic smell if only there were lots of different types of bloods and shades the ecstasy I would feel when it¡¯s drawn and used as I look a smile appeared at my face. Then the door opened what I see are 4 different guys 2 with a stretcher and the rest carrying equipment, they look at me horrified as one them shouts¡± have you done this!¡± I look at them as if I don¡¯t know what they are talking about and dash towards them and collide in-between them and push my way out they were too shocked to act and only realised I slipped through they call the police as I run back to my home 5 blocks away. I was scared I have just discovered this gift and now I won¡¯t have time to play with it and if I get caught, they lock me up these filths of the earth. ¡°I would rather die ¡°Dave said He somehow made it back home and took the elevator as he lived in the 8th floor and one of the residents of that floor was also is the elevator, she looked shocked to see Dave in the shape he is in. Dave walked in with smile said¡± yo sarah you look lovely today ¡° She was average looking with no distinctive feature, but she always had pleasant smell and Dave liked that about her. She stood at the far side of the elevator while Dave started to hum in a good mood. The elevator came to a stop as he went to his studio apartment, he went inside and looked outside the window to see cops have already came. None the less he discovered treasure so he was happy. He grabbed a cig from over his bed lights it up and sits in chair looking at the door. he thought¡± mom doesn¡¯t like the smell of cigarettes¡­¡­ but I don¡¯t care as she will never have the chance to smell me again.¡± He starts humming and whistling in a low voice with a chuckle occasionally. He took a knife and put it beside him as he waited still humming. Waiting, breathing. Until boom the doors hinges fly off and cops come in surrounding him as they yell¡± freeze hands behind your back¡± Dave smiles and puts his hands behind his back his hand carrying the knife and young female cop walks up to him he smiles, and then. ¡°hhhaaaah!¡± shouts Dave. Stabbing the officer in the neck shocking everyone. He looked as blood spurted from her neck chuckling lowly, and with a flash he looked around flashes everywhere around him like he was up in stage about to give his finale bow, his legs stop supporting him as he falls down and looks up to his ceiling letting out one finale breath looking as the cig he was holding soaking up the red colour in the ground while he thought. ¡°I only need one colour and that¡¯s red¡± A few moments pass as he opens his eyes takes gasp of air, he raises his hand that looks pale with slightly long nails and thinks¡± what trickery is?¡± purity I lift my hand up while lying in the ground, its definitely not mine but as I move it moves as all of sudden all my senses get assaulted by smell, sound and touch everything feels so vibrant, there is distinct smell of cooked meet I look around widen my eyes as I see burnt corpses everywhere around me for 20 meters, I stand up so quickly I shock even myself, I dust off my coat its black with black gloves and shoes plus some kind of red vest. I thought who would wear this and why It was dark not too dark as it was dawn I watch as the sun slowly illuminates the ground beneath me looking at the corpses, one in particular was slightly moving shock as how one with such burns could survive I walk up to it I say it because you can¡¯t even tell gender at this point. I get closer one eye starts to heal which is extremely displeasing to watch as it sees me it says in hoarse. ¡°frank you son of bitch help me can¡¯t you see its dawn what¡¯s taking you so long.¡± Dave immediately responds¡± you got the wrong guy friend I don¡¯t know who you are or what this place is.¡± ¡°frank I always felt you were a traitor to us dark kin, ever since you met that high elf girl¡­..¡¯cough¡¯cough¡¯cough¡¯¡­..if I survive this we going to have a lot to talk about with our elder.¡± Frank frowns and thinks ¡°my new look will cause some complications¡± then he gets confused as something appears Infront of him.
would you like to change your look?
¡°what the hell am I seeing right now is this some kind of AI these guys use?¡± ¡°yo crispy tell me what this blue box is.¡± Frank said The women were starting to take shape as smoke started to rise from all her body she was as pale as me with softer nails and eyes with red hue. ¡°frank its time to stop messing around what the fuck is wrong with you are you trying to get me killed come and pick me up and let¡¯s find some shade!¡± Frank¡± you need to chill out the sun isn¡¯t even out yet and you want to find shade¡± As the blue boxes were still in his peripheral vision, he was starting to get annoyed at the whole thing. ¡°yes box I would like to change my look.¡± As I notice the sky starting to glow red, I take sigh of relief as I will be able to get bearing when the sun is up, although I can see fairly good it¡¯s still fuzzy and has a range of about 200 meters way beyond human capabilities in a pitch dark field. As the sun rises, I see the first ray of light hit the field around me and girl start to crawl away horrified for some reason. I pace myself behind her and ask, ¡°lady what¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± She then shouts ¡°you can burn to a crisp you fool but I have eons to live yet before I die¡± Frank pondered what she said and asked, ¡°who did this to you and the rest?¡± She didn¡¯t answer it seems she is panting heavily and unable to continue so I walk and look down her face that has been formed the hair didn¡¯t grow yet or won¡¯t grow but her face was amazing as if it was made for being a masterpiece that rivals even the hottest of celebrities. All sudden a ray hit my hand as if touching a hot iron bar bare handed was the feeling as I scream. ¡°ahhhhhh! What the fuck is that!¡± ¡°that¡¯s the sun dumbass get me out of here quick or it¡¯s your neck frank!¡± Frank looked around to see the field was about to be fully illuminated and was getting worried about what would happen if he was fully exposed to the sun, as pain is the best teacher of all he didn¡¯t double check to see if he freaked out for nothing.Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. He turned around as his eyes fazed around every corner of the field was almost full of light and his leg got scorched by the sun and started to heal. I immediately ran towards the lady and she saw me eyes full of hope. ************************************************************************************** As frank ran towards me I knew that my threat worked, a smile etched on my face as I see my arms and legs heavy burned, as I higher ranking vampire I have the ability to withstand the sun for a little bit longer and utilize healing in certain parts to accelerate them in growing faster but the damage was too much and I utilized my head for senses and chest like lungs and so on, but I used too much energy and my life force is weak now. As frank stood Infront of me he smiled, and it was terrifying I was about to tell him to stand away, but it was too late he grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up me and my burned limbs became helpless. ¡°how dare you commoner handle an elite like this¡± Frank looks at me and puts his hand in my mouth and pulls hard so I bite down as I hard as I can ripping off chunks of flesh from his fingers he groans and smiles again. ¡°You¡¯re feisty I like it, it¡¯s a shame though¡± frank said I try to speak but end up spitting blood in franks arm, no words come out he pulled out my tongue. ''his infidel dare does this to me, I will show him fury when I¡¯m back but wait what¡¯s a shame?'' she thinks to herself ************************************************************************************** Frank dashes to the front of the field towards a mountain as fast as he could holding the women like a sheep by her neck, as he approaches a dead-end covered by sun he raises her to protect his own body and walks through fast although he still received damage from the sun seeping through the gaps she took the blunt of the force screaming and squirming like a worm but unable to speak he wished he could shut her up but he needs her to heal fast so she doesn¡¯t turn to ash, you can think of her as a shield a meat shield. As I run towards to the mountain, I realize how truly massive it is, its peak way beyond the clouds making mount Everest look like a hill, as we pass the field and enter the forest I glance at the lady black as charcoal but I hear a heartbeat I reach the bottom of the mountain and see a cave as I run out to it. We enter and the smell hits me something lives here but its not here now I as I look at the bones and remains of creatures with bones I cannot begin to recognise, I throw the lady at the near by wall with a ¡°thud¡± but she doesn¡¯t move a muscle still looking like corpse but alive. I try to wrap my head around what¡¯s happening. Frank¡¯ it seems I was brought here after or during me dying at the apartment, hehe I hope I got that officer lady.¡¯ I look around and think new information starts coming in this is the body of frank, he is from a vampire stronghold led by an elder, they use some blood magic as there are different types of vampires, but I discard that they al have a hierarchy based on blood purity, new-born, vampire-fledgling, vampire, noble-vampire and pure blood, there are no pure bloods left they were all killed but elders seem to be close to the pure blood mark. I¡¯m from Vladimir¡¯s house which is our factions elder. And then I feel something itch and I think about my body then.

No knife no weapon of any sort, irritating I thought. ¡®looks I¡¯m going to have to get dirty, better take my over coat off¡¯ I take my coat and vest off and leave a holed black shirt on¡¯ what era is this world at I wonder seems fairly primitive¡¯ I walk up to her. I hear her heartbeat racing as one eye looks at me¡¯ this healing thing is crazy¡¯ I thought She is not breathing so no choking and don¡¯t want to get messy by smashing her head. ¡®fuck me gonna have to think of something¡¯ I look around and see bones a lot of bones some like spikes and as pick them up I see that they are durable too, too durable for bones at that note. I take a spike shaped one and walk over. Frank¡± this is nothing personal lady, but you are liability.¡± And jams the spike bone in her chest over and over until.

Purity: Your blood is unique it becomes stronger over time until it reaches it¡¯s ultimate form, you can fast-forward this process by drinking vampire blood or increasing levels, the higher the purity the slower the progress
chapter 3 Chapter 3 ¡®Does everyone have this or just me?¡¯ And then look at the burned corpse next to me the necks shame is pale while the face is fucked up with the rest of the body, but no way I¡¯m drinking that things blood. I end up putting all my attribute points in strength and endurance and agility. I wait for hours until I see something walking in with the sound clawing clicking with cave ground I curse my life for the bad luck I was experiencing I stand up holding the spiked bone,¡± shit gonna get messy again¡± I wait until I see what looks like Saber Tooth cat. ¡®its almost as big as horse what the hell, I need to leave asap¡¯ I glance behind it and see that the sun is weak but still there, my heart acks no way I¡¯m going to be cat food. The big cat looks at me shocked how dare he stand around in its den and growls deeply to the point you feel the vibrations in the ground. And the hair in my body stands giving red flags. I dash forward first dodge a claw, but the nails still graze me leaving deep gnashes in my left arm, use my right I stab the spike on the side of the ribs and all that¡¯s left was a scratch. ¡®huh?¡¯ I get hit with another claw which knocked me off my feet and towards to the cave entrance and stand up running towards the entrance at full sprint, the cat also decided it was time to stop playing with its food and went full sprint also its claws leaving marks on the ground used at traction. My heart racing even though I¡¯m fast the cat was a lot faster I reach outside, and the sun started burning my body leaving behind a smoke trail of my body which doesn¡¯t help at losing the cat, but I just run. The next second the cat swipes me off my feet with its claw, I roll around hitting a tree My eyes turn black my nails starts growing, fangs start to itch with visible size change, as my vision darkens I see my body move on its on with staggering speed as can the cat now, body still smoking with my black eyes and nails anyone who sees me will think I¡¯m a demon. I dodge the cat¡¯s claw and use my own to leave deep 5 lines in its leg its growls loudly as its never worked this hard for a meal. Trading blows with the cat made me full of blood panting as the cat was in better state due to overwhelming strength. I start kneeling, I can¡¯t move I¡¯m simply spent. I hear shouting from afar, but my eyes are on this cat as it looks around roaring and dodging arrows. I blur into unconsciousness. I feel a soft touch a sting what can be described as needles. I cough up blood, as my brain struggles to understand what¡¯s happening. Stranger¡± your finally awake I was wondering if was about to bury another corpse out back.¡± I groan as sit up looking at her and say, ¡°who are where am I?¡±You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. Stranger¡± the question why are you here vampire, I see your eyes, your pale skin, and the sun¡­¡­..dead giveaway.¡± Frank opens his wide as he looks at his body full of scars ¡®my healing is not as good as that lady why.¡¯ He thought be fore answering the guy in white robe. ¡°I was lost and go attacked by that cat.¡± Frank said Stranger¡± you a vampire lost when the sun is out hahahahaha, don¡¯t jest are you even trying?¡± ¡°what¡¯s in for you what I say I will just leave out of your way¡± Stranger¡± I don¡¯t think so sir, we lost a good man because we tried to save you, of course we didn¡¯t really notice you¡¯re a vampire before it¡¯s too late, the only reason we didn¡¯t kill you is because we already lost Michael and his death will be in vein if you end up dying so quick so tell me what can you do for me?¡± ¡°I have neither money nor valuables, so you tell me.¡± With my acute senses I hear him curse under his breath. ¡®this guy is trouble, but I will play along for now¡¯ Stanger ¡°get your ass up then we are leaving¡± I get put my stuff on and leave behind him, it seems we were in a middle of a forest with densely packed trees and their size is staggering with most of them being 5-7 meters in diameter and over 50 meters in height. We walk up to the fence and see a tied deer there standing next to it a girl with dark skin and pointy ears she is skinny flat as surfboard with cherry round ass and braided hair and dark pupils. ¡®looks like some sort of elf and the white robed man is human¡¯ Dark elf ¡°it¡¯s you, we lost Michael because of you hope your worth it vampire.¡± Stranger¡± elain why did you bring a deer here?¡± Elain¡± Mr vampire needs to eat or is it drink, anyway what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°I¡¯m frank just frank¡± ¡®should I be using this bodies name I did change my look, but I don¡¯t know what I look like yet, I¡¯m sure there more than one vampire frank¡¯ Stranger¡± good thinking bet you dark kin are all looking out for each other huh? you¡¯re lucky frank I would have defanged your ass the moment you start hissing like a cat¡± Elain ¡°frank don¡¯t mind him you will get settled soon.¡± ¡°what do you mean get settled soon?¡± Stranger¡± I always wanted a vampire pet, hehehe I¡¯m dome your new master vampire.¡± ¡®what type of bullshit are these two spewing right now what master, I¡¯m the master of my own fate.¡¯ Dome ¡°now since Michael is dead, I need a new pawn welcome to the family.¡± Immediately I try to stab him my spike bone in the throat, but it stopes midway and I get electrocuted and fall to the ground. Dome ¡°you still got the fire, but I will reign you in, elain help him understand I will take my leave don¡¯t leave the premise. Elain ¡°yes master¡± Dome ¡°all my friends have nice toys why am I the only one who gets dark kin filth.¡± He mutters as he walks away. Elain¡± that was stupid of you frank he has you under a slave mark, must be degrading since you are a vampire I know your kind are prideful but since the slave mark worked I guess you are a low rank.¡± ¡°what do you mean slave mark what did that fu¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± he got electrocuted again Elain ¡°the mark senses bloodlust towards the master and punishes you and you have to eat or you will go berserk again like that time against the mountain saber tooth¡± so that¡¯s what happens when I¡¯m hungry, how do I eat that?¡± Elain gave him a look of confusion ¡®goddamn it her friendly attitude caught me with my pants down¡¯ Naturally I¡¯m a vampire so I drink blood, let¡¯s check then. The deer seems alert and frightened as I walk closer to it and smell it my fangs start to itch closer to the deer as elain interrupts. Elain¡± don¡¯t you need to cut it first you can have my knife if you want¡± She throws the knife and I catch it quickly making a line is the deer¡¯s neck and skinning the neck part so that my fangs can penetrate the flesh. Sweet gamey nectar is how I would describe the taste I quite like it, like drink slightly cold water when you are thirsty. But before I had my fill the deer is there all dried up. I sigh and get up feeling empowered as my body heals faster and scares fad. ¡°thank you, elain, I needed that.¡± Elain¡± don¡¯t worry about it me and Michael used to look out for each other, really sucks he¡¯s dead.¡± ¡°my bad but can you tell me how to break from this curse.¡± Elain ¡°give up before he starts making you give up the hard way.¡± Frank frowned as he thought she is too comfortable with this. He needs to find a way to break out of the slave mark.

slave. Days past as frank started to get familiar with his body, he can grow long nails sharp as knifes and he can activate berserk state at will but it¡¯s dangerous as it burns blood fast and he doesn¡¯t think straight when on it, he got to know elain in the meantime and started to get along with her. Today dome came back with the stench of alcohol on his body, but he looked sober enough for the amount he took. Dome ¡°Listen up my fellow guards we are going to hunt that saber tooth today.¡± Ok maybe a little drunk I thought. This person clearly has a problem with his ego and feels the need to prove himself to someone and might get me killed in the process. Dome¡± my friend will be joining us has a few dark elves under him that might come in handy. I could see the chests of gold for that thick hide and bone hehe¡± Elian told me that there was a war between dark kin and light kin, dark elves were the foot soldiers with the highest ranks being officers with B RANKS, they took the blunt of the force and most of them were scattered across the land and enslaved. There are 3 realms in this world kind of like Asgard,Midgard and Nilfheim from Norse ethology back on earth. High realm(asgard) has light kin entities of the rumoured SS ranks and above which may even hold famous old gods but that¡¯s just talk. Mid realm(Midgard) where we are now is huge but also contaminated with all kin with definite ruler a war broke out against light and dark, but the highest rank seen or should I say felt in Mid realm was S rank it seems to me that SS ranks cause unbalance in Mid realm and if they do come from both sides there won¡¯t be a mid-realm to fight for. Lower realm(nilfheim) where no living walks amongst the highest of demons and dark kin a place know as hell to most but only because they are living and most importantly light kin. Light kin consist of mostly dwarves, high elves, and humans. While dark kin have more variety like dark elves, demons of all kinds, vampires and anything associated with evil.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. But back to the present now when a short guy with a dangerous aura walked up to me and punched me right in the stomach as I started to puke blood and my eyes redden as the impact caused too much damage. But before I can do anything, he held me from the back of my neck saying. ¡°I don¡¯t like that look you have filth, you exist to serve and serve to your last breath you shall¡± Dome¡± don¡¯t fuck with my toys jon you already have your elves¡± Jon¡± he is even better, do want me to break him for you?¡± Dome¡± I will do it myself in time, let¡¯s get moving.¡± As my body starts healing, I notice the elves behind the short fucker, unimpressed as this seems to occur normally. We walk towards the cave where I was last attacked. Nothing much happened besides the elves giving me a pat down with their eyes, as we arrive to the cave I think about how made me the bait but it¡¯s not like I can refuse with this slave mark on my neck and also not only does the slave mark prevent me from refusing orders it also prevents me from accessing my status page which adds to the complications. As we arrive Infront of the cave the 3 elves ready up with to spears and a saber of sorts and the owners get ready with some defensive spells that add a light glow over the skin this is the lowest defence skill called glass skin which contrary to it¡¯s name can block a few stabs head on. It is considered a common skill which brings to the next point elain pointed out that one of the church of the sun guardians got an epic skill which is relevant to me because the church of the sun are the ones hunting my kind down and I wonder if they caused the massacre in the field when I came to be. Focusing back to reality I that the owners threw bombs inside that looked round and as big as tennis balls, the explosion was anticlimactic as they just wanted to enrage the beast outside its cave, I started to smell a gas from one of the bombs inside that immediately made my eyes tear up, I can only wonder what the beast must be feeling in tight space but then again my senses are heightened and that¡¯s a vampires talent although some races have talents too for example elves have keen eyesight and hearing that can be further improved by being a vampire too. We finally hear a ruckus as the beast pounced out of the cave heading for me, I side step and it immediately swiped my chest with its claw leaving behind deep gnashes and torn muscle, the pain for me was unbearable as my eyes start turning red. And my white fingernails get a darker hue I they elongate; I swipe my hand at the big cat leaving behind only a flesh wound but at least its irritated. Dome¡± everybody attacks now while he acts as a meat shield.¡± ¡®goddamn this fucker if lay my hands on him again¡¯ I start getting shocked by the slave mark as my eyes start getting darker, my mind goes hazy as I look at the man who made me a slave, am i gonna die because of this mark and in the middle of dodging here for god sake. jon"shit he is fucked!". with another swipe i start fealing lighter and notice my arm is no longer there. that was it, i had lost it. where morals lie Dome*pov* ¡®That stupid vampire keeps trying to deify me and at this rate he might succeed the power of his regeneration allows him to power through the shock and keep his stamina and if he goes crazy I will have to put him down and I will anyway because he is bringing me too much heat back in town vampires shouldn¡¯t be here to the east because of the church and even vampire slaves should e killed, but that doesn¡¯t matter as he either falls now with that saber tooth or jon¡¯s elves will take care of him that¡¯s the real reason I brought them hehe lets see his reaction when I¡¯m done with him.¡¯ As the saber tooth leaves the cave from under the smoke it dashes to frank as his nails grow and his eyes redden, he then slashes the cat at the side leaving a small wound. I yell¡± everyone attacks now while he acts as a meat shield!¡± He looked at me and gets shocked by the mark. I then ¡°poor frank doesn¡¯t get that he like all trash should be in the ground, jon tell your boys to end him.¡± Jon¡± uuuuh really? Do you know how much a vampire is worth?¡± ¡°do it I heard whispers that the church had caught on my father personally told me end this shit before they start to breath down our necks¡­.. your family included.¡± Jon seemed to be convinced and he ordered his men to kill jon and the cat. The men dashed in with spears aimed for the vitals of the cat, the hide of the cat was too thick as they only damaged some muscles, meanwhile the man holding the saber approached frank, this man was floky a former member of a rebel group in estus that had disbanded he had been in countless life and death situations and could be a battle slave in anyone¡¯s group, truly high quality stuff his rank E+ soon to be D-. As he ran towards frank his saber danced clashing with nails that are as hard as steel, and the piercing power of the rapier, frank was like a cornered beast getting cuts on his thigh and hands and even his nails started to get chipped at the power of the saber holding elf. Floky¡± I commend the power of the vampires, but you are just a beast waiting to be cut down¡±This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. Frank¡± GRUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHH!¡± Floky¡± humph!¡± Blood sprayed everywhere as frank stood hand less in the shade of the night. Jon¡± floky those boys need your help so end it quick!¡± Floky looked at frank with pity as he went for the mercy kill until*CLANK* The saber was deflected by Elain who stood infront frank and protected him I was dumbfounded as she was obedient as ever, that rebellious son of a bitch pulled her towards him. Flocky¡± what are you doing elain? Isn¡¯t this pointless as he can order you stand aside.¡± Elain¡±I have been with frank for almost a week and he my only friend and I can¡¯t have you hurting him¡± she says as tears start to form at the corner of her eyes. ¡®Nooooooooooooooooo my favorte toy elain ruined by him¡¯ my face dimmed down. ¡°elain stand aside and watch your new friend die¡± all of them are slaves and they should be treated as so I gave elain good treatment even better than free peasants in towns and this is how she repays me? Fine then I won¡¯t stand for this one-sided relationship any longer. Elain stood her ground only to be shocked and shocked Infront of Floky who unwilling to move his brethren by force, he then heard a scream come from the spearmen. Jon¡± Floky you go I will deal with this.¡± Floky breathes a sigh of relief as he runs to support his brethren in killing the saber tooth. Jon walks up to Elain who is now slumped down looking at jon with hazy eyes due to the shock. Elain¡± pleee¡­ase*cough*¡± Jon ¡°I never understand your kind such complex creatures, yet you are inferior to even humans with your potential.¡± End of dome*pov* He then kicks her right in the face so hard it could¡¯ve jolted her brain and turned it to mush. Frank standing still like a statue finally started to regain consciences while healing and standing up only to see elain in the ground and him being armless on his left and handless on his right. It seemed that the blood stopped flowing out and instead he felt thirsty he somehow resisted the mark while he went berserk but now it was overpowering him. Jon walked closer to me as he picked up elains short sword and walked to me slowly as my wounds were still healing. Jon¡± I bet you thought you¡¯re in this world to make a difference and bluh bluh but to me your nothing more a stepping stone to get stronger, your kind are meant to help us ascend ,breed and then discarded, simply put you are disposable¡± As he shoves the short sword through my stomach, I look at him and spit blood on his face as he stagers back, I jump on him and wrap my legs and right arm around him and bite down only to feel like his skin is untouchable. He picks me up and slams me to the ground with short sword still in causing more damage. I curse my luck as there is a limit to even my regeneration and I might actually die here because the more blood I lose the slower I regen until it comes to a stop. I crawl in the ground I spot elain; I crawl to her and pull my face towards her wrist. Frank whispers ¡°I¡¯m sorry elain¡± but I can¡¯t die here. betrayal i crawl towards elain leaving a trail of blood behind me and whisper"sorry elain but i must survive" As I open my mouth and sink my teeth into Elaine¡¯s wrist, I start to taste a tangy sweet flavour a 100 times better than the deer¡¯s we hunted I body start to heal faster as my right hand is restored, I quickly jump away afraid that she might die from blood loss, my eyes dart back and forth as my senses sharpen. I pull the sword from my stomach and quickly heals up, it is known that silver, holy weapons and fire elemental attacks work well against vampires as other weapons are simply insufficient unless too much damage is done over time. I quickly analyse my surroundings and notice that one of the spearmen elves has fallen with only floky and a spearmen fighting the beast which seems to be on the brink of death, jon seems irritated at my healing ability as dome walks next to him. Dome¡± jon here takes this, I came prepared.¡± He hands the man another bomb with a silver sheen. Jon smiles and says¡± eat moondust your filthy animal!¡± he chucks the bomb so hard that even though I dodged it seemed to detonate releasing silver dust everywhere. I inhale some subconsciously as my insides start to heat up and my skin feel like I¡¯m getting boiled alive, I run towards the big cat with my left arm still healing, my nails get longer in my right hand as I instinctively run towards the spearman slashing my hand towards his throat and contrary to my expectations he caught my surprise and had his throat slashed. Jon¡± floky catch that son of a bitch!¡± Floky eyes me and the cat who also seemed to notice my help and then I knew that not all animals are stupid, and I can somehow feel with this one that we can make a temporary alliance. I growl as my fangs protrude from my mouth subconsciously, it the vampire world it is a sign of being threatened or in immense danger.Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. Floky raises his saber and dashes towards me as I sidestep and let him face the cat, I run towards dome first as he looks at me with wide eyes, I slash towards him with my claw but hit the clash skin but it¡¯s durability drops a lot in the clash, again and again until shatter like an illusion there was no more glass skin. For the first time since my predicament I felt the urge to smile that I did. Dome*pov* As the god forsaken vampire is rushing me I was shocked to notice that jon didn¡¯t do anything he just watched with smirk on his face. ¡®why is he doing this did I not treat him well enough?¡¯ Frank slashes at glass skin repeatedly until*shatter* I lose my shit and look at frank with pleading eyes. He then smiles and looks at me slowly approaching me not caring about jon. His eyes turn black as his burned skin and mangled arm hangs by his side, his fangs start to get longer as his face distorted into something indescribable, my bowls falter and release their contents as I plead and cry in front of frank, I knew I¡¯m no fighter even if I was higher level I have no real combat experience. With the dark of the night although you could¡¯ve seen perfectly fine it felt like the abyse was approaching me until I was face to face with a mere couple of inches separating us to the point I can smell the burning flesh and hair right of him. He brings his face next to min and whispers. ¡°dome dome dome tsk tsk tsk the moment youuuuuuuu put me in that mark¡­¡­..*deep inhale with low growl* your death was inevitable.¡± A crackling sound of jaw opening¡­¡­Then a deep pain coursed through my neck as he holds me tightly and deep suction force of feeling the blood leave my body. My head gets lighter as I thrash around punching and scratching pulling. End dome*pov* ¡°noooooo please frank I will look the other way and never cross your path again.¡± Sobbing thrashing until he started convulsing and stiffening as bone cheeks started to appear. But alas it was too late. Skin starts to repair as and hair to grow, I look to jon my next target, but he walks back slowly. Until he reaches a certain girl who currently unconscious. He grabs her by the neck and raises her takes out a dagger and puts it right in front of the liver area. Jon¡± don¡¯t move now buddy and stay there until I say otherwise.¡± I move forward until jon lodges the knife a few centimetres deep making a flesh wound only but any deeper will be hard to restore as elain is already weak. Jon¡± test me as a smile creeps into his face¡± and moves the dagger around making her bleed. Frank¡± stop! You fucking coward.¡± Then with roar the cat falls down with thump and floky emerges victorious. Jon¡± good now flocky deal with him.¡± Floky¡± yes master.¡±
