But I'm not

"Open sesame." Sypha was very proud of herself. She had figured out a Belmont secret.

"Was that an Enochian word?" Alucard serious as he handed Sypha back her torch.

"Yes, I know that language." Sypha once again stated proudly.

Over the years I have had to learn many languages yet I had not had the joy of learning Enochian. Maybe one day.

"Well, well, naughty Belmont, hunting the Terrible Things of the forest but sitting on a Magic Door open by occult language." Alucard teased Trevor.

" I didn't know it was a fucking magic door. Doesn't make us Black magicians." Trevor swore at Alucard before making his way down the steps.

"But you know that the word Teloch means of death, right," Alucard called down to the disappearing Trevor.

"So it's a magical door of death. Now that sounds fun" I followed after Trevor passing Alucard. His golden eyes followed me as I disappeared into the darkness.

I looked around the large circular room covered in red Belmont flags. A large painting directly in front of us caught my attention

But in the center of the room was a large circular opening with a winding staircase leading further into the Earth.

I headed down the stairs first ignoring the conversation behind me for it had nothing to do with me. I would keep to myself from now on.

I almost felt like a slave again.

Do not speak unless spoken to or given permission.

That was one of the top 3 rules I had learned.

Soon we reached the bottom of the staircase. I stood off to the side and watched as Trevor made his way over to a door covered in iron detailing.

I slowly walked through the door not even glancing at Trevor.

My jaw felt like it was going to fall off as I starred at the giant room. Never in my life had I seen something so massive.

And it was all underground!

Sypha used her magic and lit all the lanterns in the room. Now truly showing off the massive room.

I got closer to the rails and looked down. There were more floors underneath us. All full of all sorts of things.

I almost felt like I was in Heaven. I've always loved to learn. If I don't know something, I want to know it.

I quickly made my way down the stairs leaving my group behind. I felt like a child almost. Soon reaching the bottom floor I looked up. Now fully getting an idea of how large this place was.

The Belmonts truly we're amazing.

My smile slowly left my face as my thoughts went to a darker place

If I had met Trevor's family, would they have killed me? More than likely. They were monster hunters. And here I was. A monster standing in the home of the greatest hunters to have ever walked the earth.

I disappeared behind a bookcase. Skimming over the books.

They had everything here it seemed.

From vampires to Demons, to fairies and mermaids.

Maybe.....just maybe I could find out something about myself.

Maybe there's a way to get rid of this curse.

I looked up, my hair falling flat against my back. I shut my eyes tightly and clenched my fists at my side. Even if it takes forever to read all these books. I will find a way to get rid of this curse.
