Bound by Blood

Chapter III | Untold Truth

Despite the incident at the dining room, Malachite had seemed not to be bothered at all by the events that had occurred. In fact he found this family far too amusing then the average people that he has ever interacted with during the day. While he was walking around the estate, he couldn't help but feel like he was being followed. Each time he turned around he would see a woman hide quickly which he just kept ignoring her on purpose.

Despite knowing that he was being followed, Luna still kept following him but she kept her distance because she still didn't like this human. Or she just didn't know this human or she just didn't know how to react to his presence in the house. Malachite was thinking about something when he walked into the estate's library now. Before he stated "Well I found the room im going to be spending a lot of my time in".

Malachite had looked around the library which he was thinking to himself, which he went through the castle's History section. He was humming to a song of his, before he stated "Hmm, there are a lot of good books here". He grabbed one of the books before he said "Hmm.. Nah" he put it back before he continued looking around. He found himself in the vampiric novels out of all places and it was there he found it. 

Bram Stoker's Dracula, and it was one of those books that he was deeply interested in reading because he had seen the movie adaptations. But he had never really read the book itself, he had seen Nosferatu and Dracula so it was one of these things. When Luna saw that he was looking through the Vampiric Section, she immediately went to find her father. Her father was walking with her mother in the estate garden.

Dragomir had looked at his daughter before he said "What is it now Luna?" Luna stated "That weird guest of ours is going through the Vampire section". Dragomir replied "So is that now an issue? Bram Stoker is a very good author for his time". Luna stated "Yeah, I mean after all we are Vampires and what if he starts digging around us". Her father only asked "Is that what you are concerned about, or is there something else to this".

Luna had asked "What do you mean? Is there something you are hiding from me" and her father replied "No, of course not but it seems interesting you're so into that guy". Her mother added "One would say that you actually had a crush on the dude". Luna couldn't even speak at all and she just went into her mist form and went to her room. Her mother stated "She is an odd one, especially when we tell her what we see".

When Luna arrived in her bedroom, all she did was "Humans, I hate them... they never understand anything about us and they call us the weird ones". Yet at the sametime, with how Malachite was intrigued with Bram Stoker's novel. It really states that this Human wasn't really like the average human at the estate. She just sat on that bed of hers which she groaned a bit, at least she had a bed to sleep on.

Unlike the typical depictions of vampires within movies, the theory behind the native soil from the fields of the black death in Transylvania was a myth. They do not need to sleep in a coffin of their native dirt, if that were the case then their house would be in ruins. She couldn't believe that her parents were able to say such things as well. Her having a thing for some mortal? You'd think that they'd be joking.

However there was a part of her that really questioned if what they were saying was actually true because she didn't want to admit it. There had to be a connection between those two, if only she was more than willing to actually approach the human. Yet at the same time, she also didn't want to approach the human. Because in all matters, the human would probably find her weird, like the rest of her family.

Yet she doesn't exactly know if her fears were exactly true, she mainly has seen it first hand numerous guests of theirs prior and she had assumed the same thing. But was this man like the same, like was he exactly the same like the rest of them? Was he really that bad of a person that she would automatically assume. Or were the worries she had discriminated against the actual chance of actually getting to know the guy there.

Meanwhile across the estate once more, Malachite was figuring more about this estate's features that span across numerous floors and numerous hallways. He was intrigued with the house's large variety and all the mysterious secrets that the house held. He always found its history quite intriguing because he hasn't really been in a place this old. The oldest he has been in was at least an abandoned asylum from the nineteenth century.

However he looked at his own pocket watch because he was into having such older technology with him, he always found it unique. Something about the Victorian era really intrigued him, maybe it was the steam powered world. Or maybe it was the style of clothing and how things worked around in the Victorian days. He never knew why he liked the era, maybe it was because of his interest in the whole steampunk theme. 

Yet maybe it also explained his same love for the Paranormal because both themes go together quite well, and it was easier to find a connection. Plus it would all be something that the spiritual world would be familiar with. Or at least that is what he originally thought because he always saw them being connected to a valuable item of theirs. But little did he know that this family was unlike anything he has encountered before.

Yes he has always believed in the paranormal, however what he was about to truly encounter with this one family is something his grandfather would have. He was about to be involved with one of the most mysterious vampiric families in Europe. Besides the Orlok's, Dracula's and all of them, Dragomir has their own reputation. And it is a reputation that should still be known throughout all of mankind.

However his experience at the castle was only about to get more intense now, because all that remained is figuring out who this Luna was.
