The Vampire King

Chapter 2: The castle

Five years later: The castle was surrounded by an erie look when night falls. Guards remained at their posts as the moon shone bright. Bats flutter above the guards into a nesting area at the highest part of the castle. All of them were squeaking and bustling in the cozy little areas they have picked out for themselves as a servant feeds them by hand. Only a vampire was to take care of them, since they belonged to the royal family and to other vampires in the area. Humans that were captured in war from human kingdoms were sold into slavery and sent here or other kingdoms we became allied with.

The castle is made of white stone, the roof is a dark grey or black color to blend in when it got dark. The inside of the castle looked great. Marble flooring, the columns made of granite and the walls had pictures on them. In my room, there was stuff to remind me of my family. Pictures, small items, I had armor somewhat made for me when I became a made after coming into full power.

  Our allies contained of other beasts in the nation, including those who neighbors England or surrounding the country. The wolfs became the first ally, us vampires came to an agreement over a meeting with them in Germany. These were beasts that could shift into a wolf form, I heard stories about them when it was time for me to go to bed. They are taller and stronger than the normal man.

My parents were having a meeting in the throne room, which meant I had to wait until they were done. There was a war going on with a human kingdom in the north somewhere in the Swedish territory. Sitting in a chair outside the throne room, I could here them screaming on what to do with the humans. They had help hunters that knew how to hunt our kind as well as the allies we had with the wolf kingdoms that joined the war. These humans are the ones that started this war. Burning our kind on crosses or using them in sparing pits against animals or other fighters. Not to mention the hunters who train to hunt us down like animals.

"The Swedish kingdom in the north are sending their forces here. On our land, our territory! We have a son who's only a few years old!" My father yells to his war council.

"Honey please, he can hear us outside the throne room" my mother tells him, rubbing his back.
"I know babe, just a bit overprotective of our boy and this war is getting on my nerves" He hugs his wife until he was interrupted.

"Sir if we could focus on the kingdom in the north please. Their forces are already halfway here and we are running out of time. Our scouts will keep there eyes on the enemy for a bit longer by we could use every man we can get" A female beast from our allies showed up to help with the war. She was a skilled warrior back home and the rumors about her were also true.

"Ah Nina, your right about all of that. They could be here within a month maybe sooner at their pace. Let those who are hungry for human blood feed on them to slow down their forces. Maybe they will have to ask for reinforcements or go back" My father says. This meant that the locals and any soldiers who were eager to get their hands on some fresh blood.
