Reanimated: The Round Table Chronicles 1

Reawakened

Miles across Scotland a cloaked figure scans his fingerprint listening for the click on the vault door.

“Help me with this” commanded the figure

A guard appeared, he looked just like a modern security guard. Uniform, utility belt, gun and badge. He grabbed onto the vault door opposite the figure. They shoved it until the Automats tripped.

In the future doors of all kinds are operated by DNA with the exception of public entities like shops, malls, movie theaters and pubs. The Automat is the absolute last defense against false identity.

“Master” said The Guard

“He has returned My Child, please see to it that the domino's fall into place” said the figure

“Yes sir” said the guard

The Figure entered the vault. On two lifters lay two twin coffins, gilded bases with glass tops.

“Awaken Your Majesties for your Prince has risen” said the figure throwing his hood back

The two coffins lids flipped open and two bodies jumped out of the coffin.

A man with jet black hair, blue eyes and a muscular frame and a buxom woman with vermillion eyes stood before the figure.

“Dominic is it true?” asked the woman

“Yes Cassandra it's true” said Dominic

“Sly we must go to him” said Cassandra

“No my love...He must come to us” said Sly

The next day when Marshall woke up there was an air of celebration in his undead soul.

“Hey Marshall breakfast is ready” said Sawyer

Marshall got dressed and headed down stairs. Meanwhile Doctor Camilla and Doctor Malcolm scrambled to get all the foods that Marshall might like together.

“How do you know he likes that?” asked Miracle

“We don't know” said Doctor Malcolm

Marshall walked in tripping over the step from the stairs to the kitchen. Miracle and Regina giggled but Sawyer whacked them in the arm and turned towards Marshall

“Morning” he said “Have a seat”

“We have meat, veggies, protein, cereal and- well that's about it” said Doctor Malcolm

“Marshall grabbed a strange fuzzy fruit and examined it before biting. As the sticky juice descended down his throat he took another bite.

“Peaches are good aren't they?” asked Doctor Camilla

“Is that what their called?” Marshall asked

Suddenly Marshall heard a click.

“What was that?” he asked

“What that click?” said Sawyer “It's a delivery I'll ge-”

“To late Sawyer girls beat you to it” said Doctor Malcolm

“All it was, was a new Mail Device” said Miracle

In the future Post Offices don't exist instead there is a device called P.E.N (Personal Electronic Notifier). The device works by scanning the users DNA not just prints actual dermis from the skin.

“Who's it for?” asked Doctor Malcolm

“Me I hope” said Miracle placing her thumb on the screen

“Access Denied” said P.E.N

Sawyer picked it up and hit the Lost and Found button.

“Device assigned by Sector 11 to Marshall Scott or Scarborough undecided/unknown”

“Lucky” said Miracle

“Here place your thumb on the screen” said Sawyer

Marshall did as he was told but he jerked his finger back as a sharp pain shot through his finger.

“Access granted Marshall you have a message tap to read it” said P.E.N

Marshall tapped the message.

Dear Mr. Scott/ Scarborough,

Please accept this invitation to Vampire University. Where you will learn to control your vampiric abilities.

Sincerely Dean Master Dominic

“Congrats” said Sawyer

“What is Vampire University?” asked Marshall

“A school were you learn to control the ability you posses!”exclaimed Regina

“Yeah there's Telepathy, Fire, Water, Earth and Harmony. It use to be called Wind but someone figured out that Wind controls sound so they changed it to Harmony” said Sawyer

“Kids we're going shopping you want to come?” asked Doctor Malcolm

“Yeah come on Marshall!” said Sawyer

“You guys go Gina and I will stay here” said Miracle

“Alright” said Sawyer “Oh you might want to change first”

“This is all I have” Marshall replied

“Come on” said Sawyer leading him up the stairs

Meanwhile Sly and Cassandra were addressing their loyal subjects.

“Please don't at any cost seek him out he probably doesn't even remember who we are” said Sly

“He is also not use to this time. Dominic has set in motion the plan” said Cassandra

“If you see him be kind, say hello but do not under any circumstances try to lead him here” said Dominic

“You may go EXCEPT for the VU Professors” said Sly

The crowd of vampires dispersed in a flurry of bats. Five remained Professor Forkland, Professor Gray, Madame Briann, Madame Orla and Professor Omega.

“Come sit” said Sly waving his hand in front of him a giant solid oak table appeared from no where.

“You five are our most trusted confidants. Forget what we just said” said Sly

The group looked confused.

“Get him here by all means necessary BUT do not harm him” said Sly

“Your majesties if I may” said Madame Orla “If we were to get him here how do we know he'll remember you?”

“We don't, that's why we aren't going” said Cassandra

“We're going back under and this time only he can wake us up” said Sly flashing a glance at Dominic
