Chapter 3

I grab both his shoulders, and patted him. "Anthony, it's ok." I said. "There is no need to fear of what you have done. Your kill was precise, and above all deadly. This is the kind of killer we need. But it comes to a certain point where that killer needs to be executed for too much feeding. The most important thing about being a vampire is to never reveal yourself to the public. You must sever any contact in the outside world. No friends, no family, nobody."

He took my words very seriously. He nodded every time I spoke, and says "yes master" almost every sentence. We're walking back to the castle and I tell him everything he wanted to know. When we got back, the guards start yelling "OPEN THE GATES!" And the gates opened, welcoming us back to the castle. I told him to go to a woman named saphire, and she would find him a room to sleep in. I wasn't really tired since I just walked and watched Anthony feed. So I ordered everyone to meet me in the throne room for a "meeting".

Everyone gathered around and mumbling to one another and asking why they're there. "Attention!" I yelled. They fall silent, waiting for me to explain why they're all here. "For most of you, you think that this place is no fun. No action, no fighting. Well that changes now. Starting tonight, I will host a fighting match." When I said that, everyone starts cheering and yelling "Yeah" in the mix. I raised my hand for silence. "The purpose of this is to test your skill. It doesn't matter what age, gender, or how good of a fighter you are. Fighting is fighting as long as I'm watching.... You!" I point to a random person. It was a boy, with pale skin, green eyes, brown hair, looking no bigger than 6 feet tall.

"Step up"

He walks foward, and bows his head. "What is your name?" I asked.

"Frank your majesty." He replied.

"Congratulations Frank. Your are the first competitor for this match."

"Thank you your majesty."

"Now tell me, how many people do you want to fight?"

"Three your highness."

"Perfect. Anyone who wants to fight may enter. But only three."

They all looked at each other for a moment. Finally three people stepped up and bowed their heads which is a sign that they are his competitors. The three of them had the same light blue eyes and height. One of the three was a woman with light dark skin, and brown hair. the other two were blonde pale skin men.

"Here are the rules; There is no killing your other opponent, you will not use your special abilities, only hand-to-hand combat. And the only way to win is to break your opponent's neck." That way, the fight would end quicker, because if they break the opponent's neck, he/she would only be knocked out. "Everyone, gather around in a circle so they won't have any second thoughts." Everyone huddled around the four people. "Let the fight BEGIN!"

Frank began to put himself into a defensive position so that they wouldn't come around him to snap his neck. The two blonde men began to run after him, but Frank was ready. One of the blonde men began to throw punches, but Frank was blocking them like a professional boxer. Then, Frank elongated his nails into sharp claws and started scratching at the two men. Then the other blonde came up behind Frank, but he turned around and punched him in the gut, then turned him around and snapped his neck. Frank turned back around to a see a fist coming right toward him. He punched Frank so hard that he broke his nose and sent him flying. Frank hits the ground, but he got back up and fixed his broken, bloody nose. Using his vampiric speed, he rushed over to the blonde man and punched him on top of his head. So hard that it broke his neck on impact. The blonde man fell to his knees and laid passed out on the ground. That's when the light-skinned woman grabbed a hold of Frank's neck from behind in a choke hold. She was ready to snap his neck, but Frank backflipped and reversed the choke hold. He then snapped her neck. Everyone was cheering for him and shouting his name.

"Congratulations Frank." I said.

"Thank you your majesty" He replied with a bow.

"As a reward, I will grant you one wish. Any wish of your choosing"

"Are you sure your highness?"

"yes."

"Well then, I wish to be human again."

Everyone gasped and started muttering about what he said. They were surprised that he would say such a thing.

"Very well. I will grant you your wish" I then casted a spell to turn him human. He was surrounded by a thick fog. Then it wrapped around him tightly. He was screaming in pain, like it was killing him. But this is the process in which someone immortal turns human. Then the fog went into his mouth, nose, and eyes until suddenly, he falls to the ground. It took a minute but he finally got up, and started to feel around his chest to feel a heartbeat. He felt it, and sighed. "Thank you your majesty." He said with such joy in his voice.

I smiled and nodded at him. "Now that you are human, I have no choice but to make you leave my castle"

His smile slowly faded, and nodded in agreement. He walked away tot his chambers to pack his things. "Now, let us continue the competition with another fighter."

The fighting lasted for 3 hours until finally I said "That is all for tonight. We will continue tomorrow night around the same time" And before they left, They put one fist on their chest and said "HAIL KING MARCUS". After everyone left, the room was empty and quiet, which is what I needed. I start to close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
