We suddenly appear inside the Algost family home. Everyone is sitting on the sofa talking about me. They look up and freak out. Alistair yells out. "Jesus, how did you get there?" Elizabeth stares at me and squints her eyes. "You seem different. What did you do while you were out? Did you go back to that portal?" She asks as Jenny runs up to me and gives me a hug. Everyone looks to the side and notices Alexander.

Elizabeth sneers. "What is a werewolf doing here, Kamen? Explain youself." She yells out, and I look at Jenny and then at her. I sigh and remove myself from Jenny's hug. "I did what I had to do and ended up meeting Alexander; don't worry. I saved his life, and he has offered his to me."

Ruby looks at me and smiles. "Master, it would seem that you're stronger than you were before? Did you happen to ingest souls on your journey?" Everyone looks at her and then at me. I sit down and start to cry, and I explain everything that happened. Everyone is in shock. Did they hear correctly? Did Kamen really do all of those things? The group looks at Alexander. He nods his head. "He said he was doing what he had to do. I couldn't stop him; I wasn't strong enough. But now. None of that matters. All that matters is that we are no longer in that now barren town void of all life." He says this as he looks towards me.

At Dracula's castle, Ragnor can be seen sweating in the throne room. Dracula looks down from his chair and squints his eyes. "What have you learned about that vampire?" He asks. Ragnor looks up and shivers, not knowing if he should lie or not. He decided that his king would know if he was lying. He decided to tell the truth.

"My king, there was a report about the town of Dadakish. It would seem that Kamen was there with his group." Dracula sneers at him. "Continue," he says in a demanding voice. Ragnor shakes. "It would seem that they had fought some of the guards and witnessed him using a dark power. One that consumed the lives of the guards."

Hearing this, Dracula can be seen gripping his new chair.

Seeing this, Ragnor continues his report. "From what I've heard, he came back to the town and attacked the guards and then the villagers. Consuming them is a dark power. No one was left alive except for a lone guard that hid from him in the shadows." Dracula raises his hand. "You may leave."

Ragnor stops what he was doing and looks at his king. "Did he really just tell me to leave? Is he not going to warn me against letting this happen again?" Dracula notices Ragnor has not moved. He slams his fist down onto the chair, splintering the arm rest. His eyes glow red, and he has a booming, deep voice. "LEAVE NOW!" Red energy can be seen exuding from his body.

The pressure Ragnor was feeling was suffocating; he felt like he couldn't move. Like looking into the eyes of a demon. He swallowed hard before disappearing. Dracula calms down and thinks. "The only way he could have a power like that would have to be from a tree of life. Maybe the tree of negativity? No, that's impossible. There's only one, and that's in hell, with that annoying person."

Lucifer could feel his ear burn a little, which is quite a feat considering he's the ruler of hell, banished to rule over the sinners of earth. "This is weird; there's been less and less commotion as of late." He waves his hand, and the oracle appears. She sighs. "Why can't you find another oracle to bother?" She says she is looking at him with a stink eye.

Lucifer laughs. "I merely wanted to see how my dear friend is doing. Is that so wrong?" He asks. She looks at him. "Like I said before, You never want to talk unless you need something. Come on, tell me what it is." She is clearly annoyed.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Lucifer sighs. "You're no fun anymore. Fine. I merely want you to tell me about that man, Kamen, again." He says this as she rolls her eyes.

"I think you have a thing for him. But I guess I'll look." She says this as her pot suddenly appears next to her. She stirs her pot, and her face scrunches up. Noticing this, Lucifer asks, "What do you see?" She opens her eyes in shock.

"That man is a dangerous entity. His power over the darkness is growing stronger and stronger. You must never let him come into contact with the tree. If you do, puns aside, All hell breaks loose." Hearing this Lucifer's playful demeanor sours. "That's not what I expected to hear." He sighs and waves his hand. A handful of demons appear with a half-eaten sinner at their feet.

He looks down and sighs. "You can do this later. I want you to go to the human realm and scout a vampire named Kamen." The demons screech before flapping their wings and flying to the top. Lucifer sighs yet again. "I hope that was a good choice. If not, oh well. I'll just send more." He says he is getting up and throwing a pitchfork out of his castle window. He hits a sinner running from a demon and throws his hand up. "20 points!" He turns around and raises a hand at the oracle.

She shakes her head. Lucifer laughs. "You suck," before waving his hand and returning her to her home. Back at the Algost family home, everyone can be seen sitting at the table looking at Alexander while he eats. He scarfs down everything in front of him. Potato chips, steaks, and various other things that Kamen had brought to remind him of food from earth

I reach my hand out and try to grab a chip. Alexander growls. I pull my hand back. "Sorry, I just figured you would save some for everyone else."

Everyone looks uncomfortable while Alexander is stuffing his face.

Elizabeth clears her throat. "So, you're a werewolf. Why are you helping Kamen when he's a vampire?" She asks, looking at me. Alexander swallows his food and takes a sip of water.

"He spared my life, and I feel that I need to pay him back for his mercy. It's as simple as that."

Everyone nods, not denying that reason. They are looking to me for guidance on what to do next. I shrug. "You're all adults; you decide what you do. I just want to get stronger and have some fun with Jenny." I say this, looking at Jenny and winking. She smacks my arm and blushes.

Elizabeth stares at me with intense eyes. "You'll be mine one day too, Kamen." She thinks to herself. I feel a shiver down my spine as I turn around and see Elizabeth stare at me. I turn around and see if someone is behind me. There's no one there. I look back at her. "Is something wrong, Elizabeth?" I ask her, worried. She gets up out of her chair, jumps across the table, and tackles me to the ground.

Everyone freezes; not knowing what to do, they stop and watch as Elizabeth rips off my shirt and bites my neck. "Oh my god, his blood is delicious." Elizabeth thinks to herself as she continues sucking my blood.

Jenny snaps out of it and yells at her. "What the fuck are you doing to my man?" She runs to her and tries to pull her off. Elizabeth stops what she's doing and turns to look at her. Elizabeth's blood-red eyes shine. "You can't be selfish and hog him to yourself. I feel like I'm getting stronger tasting his blood."

Jenny just stands there and watches. "Damn it, if I knew this bitch was going to do this, I would've kept him away from her. Damn it, Alistair, why did you have to introduce Kamen to this monster?" She thinks to herself. She looks to Alistair, and he's glued to Kamen and Elizabeth.

"I'm sorry, Jenny; I didn't think this would happen. I guess there's something about his blood that makes women crazy for him." Alistair says, looking away. I look up at Elizabeth. Her eyes are crazed, like she's been holding it in for years. I try to use my charm on her.

I focus my eyes, and suddenly her eyes start to go blank. "Elizabeth, get off of me, please." I say kindly with a smile, letting the pressure from Vestis slowly out. Elizabeth feels a chill down her spine and gets off. She grabs her head and looks around at everyone. "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." She walks off into another room and shuts the door.

A few hours later, when we clean everything up, we decide to take a trip to the castle. Dracula's castle. "I hope everyone is ready, because I cannot say what will happen when we arrive at his castle." Alistair says he is looking sad and distant. We leave the house to start the journey.
