THE ORIGINALS: BLOODLINE

⚜ XXXII. Sighisoara ⚜

Ambrogio Vetrova Lorenzittee

I came across from one places tl another trying to find answers why I can't shift into my wolf form when the moon is not full. I don't want to conclude that the nature went against me.

For fifty years of finding answer from different places, I found myself wanted to have a home in Romania. The place is not develop. Not the same as Bulgaira. The Romania is a quiet place. Not even have a population.

Kaya ng may nakita akong usok ay kaagad akong tumungo doon. Tiningala ko ang arko na naroon. Balkan Clan.

The people here aren't the same as Bulgaria. They stay in one places and develop their own town or village.

Pumasok ako doon.

"Saan ka pupunta? Bago ka dito? Kailangan mong maharap sa Pinuno namin dito", one of the town guards said to me.

I look him in the eyes. "I don't need to see your Master", sabi ko.

"You don't need to see our master", he said, hypnotize. I compel him.

I stayed there for a week hanggang sa napalapit na rin ako sa kanilang pinuno. And because of the develop relationship I have with their master, ai offer them something they want. The long life. The immortality.

I made them toast my blood and compelled them to kill each other. For weeks, all of them are reborn as a vampire.

The first family that adopted me and shelter me. The Balkan have a place inside me.

Year passed, they continue it by using vampiric birth transition. I decided to leave thr Balkan Clan and build my own place here. Until I meet a beautiful woman.

Outside the Balkan Clan, I run into a pretty woman.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't saw you coming and I'm in a hurry, so...", mabilis niyang kinuha ang mga nalaglag na gamit sa damuhan. I help her gather her things.

"Here!", I handed her a golden comb.

"Thank you, mister", she look me in the eyes. "You're new here? I see. I'm not familiar with you!", sabi niya sa akin.

"I'm Ambrogio Lorenzittee. And you are?", I extend my hand for a handshake.

"I'm Olena Hawthorne", she accepted my hand.

"It's nice to meet you, my lady", sabi ko.

I feel a different kind of feeling towards her. The excitement, the feeling of bursting out. I felt it. I suddenly remember my brother, Cecilion. My niece is his beloved. It must be so painful for him to witness his beloved died.

"Pleasure is mine", sabi niya.

"Where are you heading?", tanong ko.

"To our house, just there", she pointed the large house just meters away from me.

"Can I meet your parents? I'm sure they want to know me", sabi ko.

Tawa at tango lamang ang naisagot niya sa akin. She looks very formal. Her gestures are like princess's. She's womanly than Veronika.

Since that day, I always visit their home. Her parents knows my late fake father, Vladiskav Lorenzittee spreads news about his greatness. They even told me that one of their family attend the golden year of Vladiskav which went to tragic party.

"I always look up to your father, Ambrogio. His ways of ruling is cruel but it's effective. Now that the Bulgaria is very known. It is all because of him", Olena's father laugh and speaks good words for my late fake father.

Because Olena's parents like mine, hindi na naging mahirap sa akin na hingin ang kamay ni Olena sa kanila. Within that year, I married her. And we build our own home in Sighisoara. She's the only daughter and all of her parents riches is hers.

The small palace at the center of the lake is beautiful. Her parents helped us build it a little bit bigger. There, I made her my queen.

And on our first night together, I bite her neck and do blood exchange. The other process for vampire transition. I bite my wrist and feed her my blood as I am drinking her blood on her wrist.

I don't need to kill her. My blood is on her system. Sinikop ko ang kanyang mahabang buhok habang pareho kaming nakatingala sa pulang buwan. It's a blood moon. The exact time when I made Olena a vampire. I'm sure, the generations from us will be fruitful.

"So you're a vampire. The tales are true that vampires really exist", she commented.

"Not just vampires, love. Werewolves, witches and other supernaturals you new. They all exist", sabi ko. I wrap my arms around her warm body.

For years, my heart finally feel light and full of love and peace. I would burst out from feeling too much love. All because of Olena.

"I see, so our babies will be vampires. I like it, love", sabi niya sa akin.

Not so long, I got her pregnant. The palace got many handmaiden. And because of me, I gained a lot of vampirr allies. And as a ruler of our own kingdom, I made a rule. The vampires are categorize by rank. From the richest to the poorest vampire family.

The one that's working inside the palace are called vampire council, they are my right hand in making decision and rules. And next to them is the death dealers, the palace soldier.

And there are more rank below them, elites, pure, normal but the lowest is the chupacabra, the maids inside the palace, they are the one who do all the dirty works. From keeping the palace clean and everything like that.

"Look, love. Such a gorgeous little boy!", hindi mapaksi sa mukha ni Olena ang ngiti ng pinagmasdan namin ang batang lalaki na kakasilang niya lamang.

She handed me the baby kaya maingat kong kinuha iyon sa kanya. I lift the baby. Nakatingala ako na may ngiti din sa labi.

"His name is Ambrogio II. And I am Ambrogio I now", sabi ko.

Halos hindi kami makatulog para masilayan lamang ang bawat paghinga nito.

"He looks so peaceful asleep", Olena said.

I open my mouth so say something but before I could speak, the baby cried so loud.

"What happened?", natatarantang tanong ni Olena.

Hindi ako nakasagot. I don't know too. Bigla nalang kumulog at kumidlat ng malakas. My little boy cried even more as the nerve wires appears on his chest. It looks like leaks from his skin. His skin started to peel off as the mellow red light appears as it peel.

"Ambrogio, what happened?", Olena started to cry now.

The moonbeam went through the windows and it reach where the baby is. Mas lalong lumakas ang iyak ang aking anak.

Umamba akong bubuhatin ang aking anak ngunit ang aking likod naman ang sumakit. I rip off my shirt at hinarap sa salamin.

The same thing that happened to my son is happening to me too.

"He's been cursed", mabilis na sabi ko.

I cut my finger and put it on the mouth of my son. I feel him slowly sucki my blood as the moonbeam started to fade and the thing that happen to him is now gone.

"What did just happened? What is that and what curse!?", sunod-sunod na tanong ni Olena.

Umiling lamang ako. Wala akong masagot dahil wala akong alam sa bagay na iyan. I spent all my remaining years from Bulgaria trying to find answers but I didn't.

It's a mystery to me. But I won't make it a mystery forever. I need to do something about it. I need to know what's behind this thing. I need a Lemnos witch on my side.
