Hung by chains

19. Walter Nichols

That same night, everyone but Vexx and Kasvald were asleep. But enough about them, let’s talk about Walter Nichols. Aka, me! Remember when I was taken away because I pushed that old lady? Yep, that was me. But that’s it for my introduction. Let me tell you about what I learned!

So, these guys are vampires which use some sort of potion... drug... thingy to let them be active during daytime, and every twenty years, they gather “offerings” for a ritual called “the Gursif”. They gravely pissed off the deity of the Sun for sacrificing someone they shouldn’t have 2600 years ago, the Deity's lover, and giving their spirit to Sohagjif.

See how I used gender neutral pronouns there? They were non-binary!

But anyway, now they have to repent and yada yada yada, I’m not spoiling, mainly because I don’t know anything else.

You must be asking yourself “How did this guy find out so much in so little time? And why is he acting so goofy when he was literally being detained by a cult of vampires?!”

Well, the answers are easy:

1. You would think being a vampire with a whole system up to avoid being discovered by humans might teach you about discretion, but these guys loved to yap among each other. Literally just like the villains in kids movies who explain the entire simple plan that the writers came up with in the span of two minutes to destroy the world or some other equally irrational and selfish goal. Plus, I consider myself a specialist when it comes to eavesdropping.

2. I cope with humor. :)

And this begs a new question: what happened to me?

Well… you know that one scene from Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama where Eren is chained up? Yeah… Like that but less… kinky? I don’t even know, these budget Diabolik Lovers clones were something else. And I’m not kink shaming! It just isn’t my thing personally, y’know?

The point is that I was chained up to a wall, glasses man came in and offered me food, I refused it because it had peanuts and I’m allergic, and he was like “Wtf is wrong with you?” and I was like “Too many things to tell you in the time it takes for you to lose patience with me” and he was… surprised..? I’m gonna go with impressed. He was impressed by my tenacity.

And I stayed there until I set myself free two days later, but that’ll be a story for another chapter.

“This completely breaks the atmosphere!” You might say.

That’s the whole point, I want to make this interesting but lighthearted. I want to help people change perspective, to make people think, not to shock them and leave them having sleepless nights. Consider me your emotional support commercial break!

“…Sir, you’re giving a testimony, not narrating a book from the first person narrator’s point of view. No need to worry about how we feel.” said a police officer.

Walter’s face was invaded by surprise, looking at the cop when he realized.

“Ah… yes… Sorry officer!” He apologized.

The cop sighed with annoyance, mumbling something about Americans nowadays.
