The Immortality Doctrine: Bred To The Blood Prince

Chapter 50

We accompanied the two couples to move into Grezsatly. The things they only brought were just their clothes and things that had sentimental values to them.

During the long walk, the two had noticed everything I had noticed when I lost my way here in the Blue Forest. The temperature, the insects, animals, and every living creature here. Most especially, the famous trees. They even cheered when we walked into the 'teleport'.

And before their feet could even land upon the Mullens' carpet, Abel had already told his family that the two newly-infected vampires were going to move in. The four of us had anticipated for a surprise reaction coming from any of them, but the reason was already mentioned in the latter part.

"I'm Callidora, but call me Cal. It sounds better to me. Welcome to our house," she said when Vanessa and Lucas were standing in front of the doorway. Tate and I were just there behind them. A few feet far.

"Thank you, Cal. My name is Vanessa," she offered her hand for a handshake. Common human error.

"You shake hands with her, mom," Abel was already inside.

"Oh, right," she grinned and did that thing.

"My name is Lucas, ma'am. Nice to meet you," he introduced himself and did the same handshake with her.

The two siblings—Eilif and Angeni appeared beside them. They must have come from somewhere no one knew.

"Angeni," she said.

"I'm Eilif Mullen. Youngest in the family," he bro-hugged Lucas. For a moment I thought he was going to do something else to him.

"Apparently, the tallest in the family," Lucas noticed, and laughed gently.

"Where is sir Billi?" Vanessa asked, facing Cal. Back in the human's world, Abel already told them his family and their names and even different demeanors.

Cal snorted. "He's out on a hunt. What else? It's his passion to."

"Ah, right." 

"Go inside, guys." It seemed like it was Angeni who only noticed that.

So we spent the whole day listening to their stories. Every story they narrated weren't strange or new to me anymore. I was certainly their best friend, and I was the type that wanted to know about someone and wouldn't even digging deeper until I get satisfied. Of course, every now and then they would stop because one of them would ask about those human acts and things.

Being a vampire was like being a caveman living in the earliest ages and being a human was like being a millennial whose generation was full of high technology. Vampires and werewolves just live the simplest of lives and living. While humans live beautifully where they make choices. Like for instance, one would choose whether to do a thing manually or use a machine to do the task instead. That was how complicated the two worlds were. Sometimes, it made me think maybe the supernatural world was a planet and the human's world was another. It wasn't possible.

This was also the only time curiosity was satisfied when Cal told them that the newly-infected vampires also lived here. And it wasn't also impossible and unlikely for others to intend to stay in the human's world even though they weren't humans anymore.

"There are also disadvantages," I told everyone. "One is that what if those ones who live in the human's world would enjoy too much being vampires that they want to kill countless people? Most especially in public places?"

"Good point, Selene. But we don't have to worry about that because the royal vampires will deal with it. The infectors will lose their heads. That's what they do to them."

"The infectors only?" I mean it's not their fault that the ones they infected were like that.

"Yes. Besides, they didn't think twice about their decisions. That's why before we infect humans, we must think."

"We're not bad guys and we won't certainly be like them," Vanessa said.

"We know. We trust you, Vanessa and Lucas Cooper. But you still have to remember the outcome when humans will know that beasts like us do exist."

"We promise," they said at the same time.

"Are you certain about your choice of moving here? In this supernatural world where creatures kill brutally?" Eilif just wanted to make sure. "I'm telling you, vampires fear nothing."

Lucas beamed. "I believe my wife and I are a hundred and one percent sure." It always seemed easy saying things.

He shrugged. "Okay, I've warned you already. So I trust you anticipate the worst to come?"

Luke and Nessa nodded their heads. "But just let us help you in whatever task. To show our appreciation and gratitude."

"Gladly, Lucas," Cal smiled. "So you both are definite vampires now. Meaning you both shall forget every human act or anything that involves being human."

I looked at Vanessa saying: I know.

"Absolutely. But I believe you know how hard it will be to forget your loved ones, right?"

"We perfectly know," Cal nodded stiffly. "And I do believe it is quite impossible to do that."

"I just want to say that there's barely . . . Or a faint chance that you'll find a good place for your home. You'll have a difficult time dealing with that thing, I'm afraid. But that's none of my concern. So, anyway, let's start with your human names," Angeni said.

I didn't know it was required. But we had to respect vampire traditions and laws.

"I believe you know that having human names here in Grezsatly would make it obvious that you were past humans. What we'll do is that we'll just say you were born like us and you grew up here. Having newbies here doesn't quite get attention from other vamps like us," she said and looked at Vanessa. "I think your name should be Falysha. Is that good?"

"It sounds good to my ears," she nodded, grinning to emphasize satisfaction.

"I don't think that sounds good," Angeni said doubtfully.

"No, that's fine," Cal finally ended.

"Lucas," she murmured as she looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Grigorov."

"I know someone named Grigorov," Eilif protested.

She looked at his brother with disbelief. "No, you don't!"

"Yes, I do . . . Or maybe it just sounds similar."

"It sounds similar only. But not the same."

"I'm okay with that name," Luke told me. He made a sound as if a cry. "Goodbye, old human names!"

"Let me mourn with you," Vanessa joked.

"That's what you get, Vanessa. You chose to be a vampire," I told her. It was really obvious here she was slightly regretting.

"To be a devil, apparently! But nonetheless, I let you infect me for a good purpose."

"The disease," Grigorov finally said that 'good purpose'.

"A good devil," Abel corrected.
