Vampires of Middle Earth

1. Arriving in Gondor

OKAY...this is OLD XD I'm ashamed of it, but I think it's fun to see how I've improved. So I'm releasing it again XD enjoy! And please tell me if it was funny or cringy

Just a few facts before we begin:
1. The dead supernatural beings return as ghosts. Not elves or dwarfs, just supernatural. No one can see them, but they're there.
2. The vampires are weak to a herb named vervain. It grows in the forest, but no one really knows it's real purpose.
3. Vampires can't walk in the sun, except for if he/she is wearing a cape or something to protect themselves from it.
4. They can compel people to do anything they want by looking them in the eyes, if the human don't have vervain on them or in their system.
5. They heal wounds super fast.
6. When blood is near their eyes get red, the veins around their eyes get visible and their fangs comes out. Their cravings get real strong.
7. It is possible for a vampire to survive on animal blood, but they are weaker and the cravings for real human blood never goes away.
8. Super speed and super strength.
9. Immortal, except for a wooded stake through the heart or getting the heart ripped out.
10. To be turned a human must have vampire blood in their system when they die.

Legolas really had no idea what happened. He woke up in the middle of a forest, his whole body sore. He knew he was supposed to be in Gondor, but a cloaked figure stopped him on the road and he fell off his horse.

He felt something on his lip and rose a hand to feel the wet substance. He draw his hand back, and almost choked. It was blood.
The red liquid on his fingertips shined in the evening sun, and Legolas pressed his lips together.

'I must have bit my lip as a fell off my horse.' He thought as he wiped the back of his palm over his lips and rose from the ground.

Suddenly a sharp pain spread through his neck, and he rubbed it. He felt his hand get wet, and realised he was bleeding. He also had a big blood stain on his skirt that he didn't notice in the half dark, right under his heart.

He looked around himself for his horse, only to realise it lay a few feet away. It looked dead.

'No.' He thought desperately and ran forward to fall to his knees, checking the horse's pulse on his neck. Finding none, he sighed sadly and let his hand rest on the horses neck to do a blessing.

That was when he felt it. The horse's fur was covered in dried blood. He bit back a gasp as he saw the cut. It was covered in dried blood, but was no longer bleeding.

He rose unsteady to his feet and took in his surroundings, eyes wide in fear.
He saw the guards he had with him, all of them lay spread out on the ground, dried blood on their necks.
He covered his mouth with his hands not to get sick, and turned away. How could he be the only one alive? The one who killed his guards must have either missed to finish him off or spared him. But why would he be spared?

He was in a forest, and it was late evening. The sky was yellow and pink, light grey clouds covering half of the colours. He was in Gondor, he knows that. He could see it by the forest he was in. He and Estel used to play here when he was a child. Now Legolas got a completely different sight of this forest.

He sighed and began to walk north. He knew in what direction Minas Tirith was, but it was a long walk without a horse.
