The Accidental Vampire

The day wasn\'t even halfway through, yet the entire city had come to a halt. It was supposed to be a day of celebration and entertainment where humans competed to get into the ranks of the Servants of Carlisle Clan. It was a day when a person\'s life was going to change.

At least, that\'s what everyone thought at the start of the day. No one could have imagined that within a few hours, the entire equation was going to change. The Carlisle Clan that stood at the top of the world, according to the citizens of this city, was being challenged by another Vampire.

The competition was over, and everyone was forced to run away to save their lives, leaving only the Vampires who were on the streets now.

For the moment, there was a scary silence in the surrounding. More than thirty dead bodies of Vampires were littered on the ground, but ten times more Vampires were standing, waiting for one command from their master to attack.

While one side had an entire army on their side, the other side had none. The other side only had two people. Still, those two people were no less than an entire army.

One of the two was a young man. He had beautiful silver hair like the moon in the brightest of light which provided strength to the Vampires. His eyes were a lighter shade of green, encompassing the beauty of the nature itself. Despite being so beautiful, his eyes appeared to be filled with sadness and a scary calm.

The man was Atlas, who controlled the body of Castiel, one of the Four Progenitors. Right beside Atlas stood a young lady with flaming red hair.

Not a single person recognized her since there were no Portraits of her in existence, but almost everyone had heard of her name once upon a time.

The young lady wasn\'t the First Witch in this world. In fact, she came a lot later. Still, she made her name in a different way. She was not the first Witch, but when it came to strength, she was said to be the Strongest Witch to ever walk the earth.

She was considered an idol by many modern-day witches since it was said that Lilith could fight entire armies of Vampires all alone. No one had seen that happen though. Most witches even assumed those stories to be lies.

There were also some stories that said that Lilith never fought the Vampires. Instead, those stories called her a Traitor to the Witches who worked with a Vampire all her life and didn\'t do anything for her brethren despite having all the strength she could need.

There were many people in the Witch community who loved Lilith and refused to believe the stories about her being a Traitor, but there were even more people who believed that she was a Traitor.

Traitor or not, no one can deny the fact that Lilith was a really powerful witch at the time she existed. The ones who liked her, and the ones who hated her, they all tried to look for her Grimore to get a glimpse at the Spells of Lilith since they believed those long-lost spells could tilt the scales of strength on their side.

Everyone wanted the Book of Lilith. Even now, two Witches were inside the city for the book itself, one siding with the Carlisle Clan to get the book from them while the other going in alone to steal the book.

The Castle of Carlisle Clan was massive from the outside, but when one got inside the Castle, they could see that it only had three floors in total.

Lia checked the entire top floor, but she didn\'t find the Book of Lilith. The top floor only appeared to have the sleeping quarters of the Carlisle Clan direct members. There were many things of significance on the top floor but nothing that Lia was looking for.

She came down to the second floor in her search. Unfortunately, as she came down, she heard an amused laughter of a woman.

"So you\'re the one who snuck inside. The little kitten from the Ezren Clan!"

Lia heard the voice only to go still in fear. The voice... She recognized that voice! She had heard that voice many times before. It was the voice of the Matriarch of the Witch Clan of Tricen. This woman had come to their clan many times to threaten them. She was on the same level as her grandmother when it came to spells!

Lia cursed her luck, unable to believe this witch was here too. If she was here, that could only mean she was here for the Book of Lilith as well. The Ezren Clan and the Tricen Clan didn\'t have goodwill for each other. In fact, it wasn\'t wrong to say the two clans hated each other over their ideology.

\'I can\'t let the book fall in her hands. But I can\'t fight her either. I don\'t have any chance of Victory. Only Grandma could take care of this one witch. What do I do?!\'

Lia started retreating slowly. She didn\'t dare to step on the second floor.

Unfortunately, the old witch didn\'t leave her alone. Lia could hear the footsteps of the Witch getting closer, and she didn\'t seem to be alone. There were more footsteps that were audible.

Lia assumed that they were either her clan members or the Vampires. In any case, it wasn\'t good news. She needed to retreat.

Lia cast another Mist Spell as she started running back. At the moment, her own safety was more important than the book itself.

Lia got back to the Third Floor and ran to the balcony. She cast a Flight Spell before she flew out as fast as she could.

Swiss~

As Lia was flying away, she felt something akin to a rope being wrapped around her door.

She turned around to find the old woman standing on the balcony. The old woman had caught Lia. There was an invisible rope that held onto Lia and pulled her back.

Lia opened her pendant and placed a droplet of blood on her finger. She used the blood droplet to make a symbol on the wind itself as she chanted another spell.

"Hmm? She has the Blood of Fairies?" The old lady frowned. "Her grandmother really went crazy, it seems, giving their treasure to a kid? Then again, the allure of Grimoire of Lilith can certainly make people do crazy things.

"Unfortunately, that kid is still too young. She takes too much time to finish a spell." She waved her hand as she chanted another spell.

Another invisible rope appeared around Lia, this time tying both her wrists together so she couldn\'t finish the spell. The old lady cast a flight spell on herself as well before flying up.

"Your Grandmother should\'ve come herself if she wanted to steal something that\'s going to be mine. You\'re still too young, kid."

Lia struggled to free herself, but the ropes were just too much for her. Her spell also dispersed since she couldn\'t finish it.

The old lady placed her finger on the forehead of Lia. "Sleep."

Her magic worked right away, and Lia\'s eyes closed. The battle was over for Lia before it could even begin.

It was because of the same flaw that even Lilith had noticed in the past. Lia was talented for her age, but that was it. If her age was taken out of consideration, she wasn\'t much special. She couldn\'t even cast spells without chanting them, and each of her powerful spells took a long time to cast since they were too complicated for her.

On the other hand, the old Witch had decades of experience in these spells. Before Lia could cast one spell, the old lady could finish casting ten.

Lia was taken hostage, and it was too easy. The old woman turned to the castle.

"Now, I can also try to steal the Book. No one seems to be inside," she pondered but ultimately dropped the idea. "Then again, Carlisle won\'t be stupid enough to leave the Book of Lilith in the castle itself. He is already willing to give me the book, so I better not spoil things in my haste."

"Time to meet Carlisle and get the book personally." The old lady didn\'t go back inside the Castle. Instead, she flew to the arena where she had felt that chaotic energy previously.

As she arrived at the spot, she saw Severis being blasted back by a young woman who didn\'t have a single weapon in her hand.

"Another Witch? She must be with the Ezren Clan as well, sent here to distract Carlisle while the little one went inside to steal the Book."

The battle had already begun, and Carlisle had instructed his Vampires to stay back and not interfere.

Severis had also started fighting Lilith, but No matter what he tried, he couldn\'t get back to Lilith. At the same time, Lilith also wasn\'t able to harm him.

Carlisle flew to Atlas. "I will destroy you for damaging my beautiful city!"

Sharp claws came out of his hands which he swung to Atlas\' neck. His speed was so fast that even his afterimage couldn\'t be seen. Carlisle was like the wind itself.

"You already took everything from me. I won\'t let you take more. This life isn\'t yours to take like that life wasn\'t yours to take!" Atlas roared as he moved one step to the left.

No matter how fast Carlisle was, he was slightly faster, especially now that he wasn\'t hungry.

He grabbed the wrist of Carlisle. "I couldn\'t stop you last time. I didn\'t have the strength, but this time, I\'ll fight back."

Atlas grabbed the wrist of Carlisle and twisted it until he heard a cracking noise. Carlisle swung around, intending to stab his other claw in the chest of Atlas.

Atlas jumped up, releasing the broken wrist of Carlisle to land behind him. He grabbed Carlisle by his collar and tossed him away, using the momentum.

"Last time, you were the superior one! You made me beg you, but you didn\'t listen! This time, I\'ll make you beg me!" Atlas flew after Carlisle.

Carlisle had managed to heal his broken wrist by now. He controlled his body mid-air to stand.

"I made you beg? Who exactly are you?" Carlisle asked as his figure appeared behind Atlas. He grabbed Atlas\' shoulders, impaling his sharp nails on the shoulders of the young man.

Ignoring the pain of the nails, Atlas grabbed Carlisle by his hair and pulled his body ahead.

Atlas made Carlisle fall to the ground as he raised his foot to stomp on the skull of Carlisle.

Even though it appeared as if a long time had passed since the battle of the two began, only three seconds had passed.

The other Vampires in the back could only see flashes of the two fighting before they disappeared, moving from one place to another. It was as if two ghosts were fighting.

Atlas was just about to stomp the skull of Carlisle, who brought both his arms together to protect his head. That stomp never came though.

Before Atlas could land his foot, he felt an invisible rope wrap around his throat. He was pulled back, falling to the ground.

"Carlisle, you\'re being defeated by a kid? You sure have gotten old." The old witch landed before Carlisle. "I saved your life. You owe me the Book of Lilith now."
