Vampyrism

Chapter 44

---Vladimir's Pov---

"What!? Amity was kidnapped by Odalia!!"

"Yes, I let my guard down and she cast a blind spell... such a disgrace"

Lilith looks at the place they cast the teleportation spell and tries to see if she can figure out where they went. While she is doing that I ensure that the captured vampires are being taken care of, that when I realized something was off. Before I can speak both Aurora and Alador arrive at the scene.

"Is it true!?" Aurora said.

"Yes, Willow doesn't know how it happened but before she fell unconscious she saw something crash into her feet," Lilith said while handling the device to Alador.

"What is this?" Alador asked.

I walk up and grab the sleeping gas grenade. "This is a sleeping gas grenade, something humans use to neutralize enemies without killing them"

"Then why did Faust have it?" Aurora asked.

"Simple he was given this by Salazar"

"Wait what?" Lilith said.

"Look around Lilith and tell me what is wrong"

"... Nothing, we just have vampires under our..." Lilith says slowing down and connecting the dots. "The vampires aren't being killed!!"

"This was only a distraction, their real objective was to capture does two, both of them have made a deal with Salazar"

"We need to reach the castle if that is the case, we have prepared just in case this happens," Alador says.

"But reaching the castle will take way too long," Lilith says.

"That where I can help"

I grabbed Aurora and put her inside my shadow, Alador and Lilith looked in surprise, they didn't know vampires could do this. I extended my hand towards Lilith and she was hesitant at first but knew that I could reach the castle within 10 minutes if I really wanted to. She breathes in and grabs my hand I merge with the shadow with her and Aurora quickly hugs her since she freaks out when I just put her in my shadow with no regards for her safety, I reappear outside and Alador walks up to me and puts his hand in my shoulder I simply merge into my shadow. Once those three were inside my shadow I prepared to run to the castle.

"Wait!!" a familiar voice said.

I turn around to see the vampire and Edalyn with Luz in her arms. "What are you doing?"

"Please allow me to go with you, I need to beat up Salazar for putting me under a mind-control spell"

"I know what you want, I asked Edalyn the question"

"I know how to deal with an enraged vampire in a new moon but this... I have no idea" Edalyn's voice sounded worried and I would be lying if I said I wasn't.

"Very well... You, what's your name?"

"Elizabeth, Elizabeth Vachon"

"Then Elizabeth, you can come under the condition to look after my great-granddaughter"

"I understand"

I walk over to Edalyn and put my hand in her shoulder and grabbing Elizabeth's hand, and merge into the shadow. Alador, Lilith, and Aurora are surprised but before they can question me I leave the shadows and before I can begin to run Scarlet mergers with my shadows, she does this before I can even comment about it. Realizing no matter what I do will change her mind, I start to make my way to the castle of the witches.
