The Accidental Vampire

The world had started turning dark as the light started retreating. A carriage waited on the corner of the road as the people who were traveling by the carriage had entered a forest, leaving the carriage driver behind.

The Carriage driver was cursing his luck for being caught in the midst of this group. He was the driver of the Royal Carriage. Even after being a driver, he had great influence amongst the others of his stature since he was so close to the Duke.

Even he couldn't have expected that he was going to be caught by a Vampire. Even when Lancaster took over his carriage, the man just thought that he could be free after dropping Lancaster and Xun to the nearest town since that's what they wanted.

However, instead of stopping at that town, the people changed their destination. From then on, the carriage driver had already lost hopes of being free. He believed he was going to be with these people forever.

Sitting near the carriage, he looked at his surroundings. Everyone had entered the forest except him. He was sitting all alone. For a moment, there came a thought in his head to run away from here. However, he was far away from any city. It wasn't easy to run. He could take the carriage, but he couldn't gather the courage.

The fear of being caught was instilled deep in his heart. Moreover, he knew what was going to happen to him once he was caught. Even though he wasn't free, at least he was alive now.

He decided to wait for the others to arrive here.

Deep inside the forest, Atlas stood at five meters of distance from Lancaster. Both the youngsters looked at the sky. There was still some time for the moon to come out.

"Remember, this battle can be life-threatening. So try to keep yourself safe. Also, there's still time to change your mind if you want to." Lilith reminded everyone one last time. "We can try this later after we are done with gaining the key Fragments."

Lancaster took a deep breath. His mind was already made up. Even though there were second thoughts, he buried those thoughts with now or never.

"I want to have this battle now. I am prepared!"

"And you?" Lilith turned to Atlas. "You are immortal, but the poison of a Werewolf is really poisonous. The more you're injected with it, the more you'll feel hurt. If you're hurt badly enough, you might go into paralysis for some time. There are also more problems, especially about... You know... You can't use too much strength."

"I know. I'll be careful," Atlas answered. This was a battle even he wanted to go through now that he was here. He wanted to see how much stronger he had become after Castiel helped him learn spells and understand their true essence.

Lilith didn't ask anymore. She took a few steps back, clearing the field for them. There were only ten minutes left.

"Atlas..." Lancaster said, realizing that the time was getting closer.

"Yes?"

"Thank you for what you're doing. And I am sorry if I hurt you later. I will try my best to regain control as fast as I can, but if I can't, you don't have to hold back. If possible, stay safe without worrying about me."

Atlas smiled. "You idiot, stop worrying about me at this point. Nothing will happen to me. If possible, try to keep your head clear and focus on your goals."

" Only then can you succeed. If your mind is focused on other things, you won't be able to control yourself. Let alone control; you'll be controlled instead."

The time trickled away as the night inched closer. The full moon started rising…

As soon as the Full Moon started rising, Lancaster started feeling strange. His temperature started rising, and his heartbeat started fastening. His entire body was in pain. It was as if his bones were breaking one after another.

He had experienced the transformation of the full moon before and was slightly experienced at this point. Unlike his first time, he didn't scream in pain this time. He just clenched his teeth and let the transformation take place.

His vision turned blood red as his body became bigger. His hands turned into claws as hair began appearing all over his body.

Before long, he actually lost control of his body as his wild urges took over.

Awoooo~

His mighty roar echoed in the entire forest as he finished his transformation. The roar was so loud that even the carriage driver who was outside the forest heard it. The roar sent a chill down his spine as he grimly looked in the direction where the roar came from. He was sure that it was the same direction where the three had gone.

The animals that were in the forest started running away from the source of that roar, leaving the surrounding.

Even the carriage driver saw the animals rushing out of the forest, crossing the road. Seeing so many animals rushing to him, the carriage driver entered the carrier and closed the door in fear. Fortunately, the animals didn't approach the carriage and ran past it.

Atlas saw Lancaster's transformation finish. With his fierce eyes, Lancaster glared at Atlas, showing his sharp fangs as he growled.

"There begins your time. Lancaster, it's your turn now," Lilith muttered. " Let's see how long you can take to control yourself!"

The Wild Beast jumped at Atlas like he wanted to rip the Vampire in his sight to pieces. Instead of clashing straight, Atlas also jumped back, maintaining the distance.

The wolf landed where Atlas used to stand; however, just as the wolf was about to continue chasing, a formation circle became visible around him. The gravity inside the circle multiplied by thousands, making sure that the wolf couldn't jump. At the same time, thousands of Vines came out of the ground, rushing to the wolf.

Atlas used the same spell that he saw Castiel use on Zhang. The only difference was that he kept the range of his spell small.

Roarr~

The wolf faced the terrifying gravity, but even under such an effect, he couldn't be forced to his knees. The wolf ran out of the formation circle. All the gravity did was to slow him down to some extent.

Just as the wolf left the formation circle, vines came out of the ground, wrapping around Lancaster's feet, pulling him back.

Lancaster kept trying to get to Atlas, but because of the Vines, he kept being pulled back.

Unfortunately, even then, the wolf didn't give up. He kept forcing his way, using his claws to hold onto the ground. The Vines also started getting weak against the resistance.
