Chapter 14: Vampire Clan

Chapter 14: Vampire Clan

It was near dawn in a vast land at the another side of the world. In a medieval castle located at the continent of Europe lives a clan of vampires that have lived in the world since the dawn of humanity. They have lived in secrecy and was able to live with humans for many years.

They feed on human blood but they were able to co-exist with them until the modern world. But after the gates of hell opened and the numbers of humans started to die down, they came out to save humans, hence they were known as humanity's saviors in the continent of Europe. But of course they acted as saviors with a price, and that is for the humans to share their blood to feed the vampires.

Europe now has the most number of human survivors thanks to their vampire saviors that watched over them, while they in turn give blood as food to these vampires. The continent of Europe is now being govern by the vampire lord Alucard.

Two vampires are walking along the dark corridors of the castle that was only lit with the moon light shining from the outside.

"Is the vampire lord still awake?" One vampire that has a huge built and was wearing some kind of knights uniform asked. "I would like to give my report."

"You just came back from wiping out the orc camp at the outskirts of Dublin, General Graham." A vampire that was wearing a dark brown suit and holding a stack of papers replied. He was a little shorter than the general who is walking by his side. "Won't you want to take a rest first?"

"Nah…" General Graham replied. "What about you, the trusty secretary of the vampire Lord Alucard, Secretary Lucas? Dawn is just hours away and you are still working so hard."

"You know that as the lord's secretary, I am expected to be by the lord's side while he is still awake and working." Secretary Lucas replied. "You know that this castle is UV proof so the sun's light will not affect us in the least, and so it is not an excuse to slack on work even though the sun has risen."

"Such a workaholic like the lord, tsk tsk." Graham shook his head. "I miss the good old days where we just need to lay low and do not need to work hard on governing a continent. I mean, that was the human's work."

"Well, it was also the human's fault why this happened you know." Lucas replied. "They sought power that they could not handle, hence we are now handling the aftermath."

"The humans here are lucky to have our lord who is merciful." Graham said with a smirk. "If not for our lord, they would have died down by now."

"Lord Alucard also looked at our best interest. You know that the human's are our main source of food." Lucas replied. "Our lord has been benevolent to the humans since the old times. He had us only take the blood that we need and let the humans live and erase their memories after every feed."

"Well that is because our lord had a human lover once." Graham said and the both of them fell silent for a while.

"It would be best not to talk about her in front of the lord, Graham." Lucas reprimanded Graham.

"I know, I know." Graham replied. "Her name had become a taboo in our clan."

"You know that he is the oldest amongst us, hence the most powerful of us all." Lucas said. "The loss of the lord's lover had been the worst days we had. We were not able to stop him go on a rampage here in Europe."

The vampire lord is one of the most ancient vampires, and with his many years comes his great power. A vampire's strength come from his age.

"Who would have forgotten that?" Graham said. "We were not able to stop him slaughtering many humans because of what happened to his human lover that was dubbed as a witch and hanged. It was just lucky that it also happened at the same time the black death was spreading all over Europe. We were able to mask so many deaths as the illness spread. Maybe half of the death toll was the lord's doing." The both of them sighed.

From afar, a slightly opened door in the hallway was spotted with some light coming out of it. The two of the vampires headed that way and came inside the door.

Inside was a huge office that was lighted. In front of a desk was a man with long silky black hair and pale white skin. He had blue sapphire eyes that is shining brightly. He can be called a beauty, even for a man. His long strands of hair were falling on his desk neatly while he was so focused on the documents in front of him.

"Lord Alucard." Graham bowed. "I have come back from my mission in Dublin."

Alucard who was seriously looking at the documents changed his gaze and looked at Graham. Graham stiffened with his lord's stare.

"Have you dealt with the orcs?" Alucard asked with a flat tone.

"Yes my lord." Graham replied quickly. "We had some difficulty because as you know, orcs multiple quickly. But we were able to flush all of them out. We completely annihilated them."

"That's good to hear." Alucard put down the document he was reading and pinched his temple. "These daemons just pop out one after the other. We exterminate one and another one will appear." He sighed deeply as if fatigued.

"While the door to hell is open, there is no end to this." Lucas replied. "We are lucky that we only encounter low level daemons so far. We can only do this much just to protect the humans in our borders."

"And governing such a huge area is also a lot of work." Alucard replied. "Why can't we just let the humans govern once more?"

"You know why, my lord." Lucas replied with a serious tone. "They were the ones that made this catastrophe. Who knows what will happen if we let them have authority once more. At least here in Europe we can oversee and govern them closely."

"But the rest of the world is in ruins." Alucard said while looking out of the window. It was still dark outside, but the dark was never a problem with vampires.

"Well f*ck the rest of the world." Graham said with anger. "They were the ones who brought this upon themselves. If they were not greedy for power, then this would not have happened."

The room was silent for a while. Not long a grandfather clock inside the room rang three times indicating that it was three in the morning.

*DING DING DING*

After the clock had struck, Alucard had risen from his seat and walked towards the window. He was so focused looking outside that Graham and Lucas was curious as to what happened to him.

"My lord…?" Graham called out, but without a reply.

"Lord Alucard?" Lucas called out as well but his voice fell on deaf ears.

Lucas was concerned and walked towards Alucard's side. He was in a daze, looking outside the window as if he was looking past the darkness outside.

"My lord… is something the matter?" Lucas asked.

"I felt something…" Alucard replied while still looking outside. "It was an odd feeling, as if someone is calling out to me."

"Calling… like telepathically?" Graham asked.

"Not like that." Alucard looked at the two vampires. "I do not know how to explain this. It is as if my body is somehow connected to someone. I… I do not know for sure." He said and looked out of the window once more.

The two vampires looked at each other with confused looks on their faced. They only shrugged in the end, not knowing what their lord is talking about.
