The Accidental Vampire

Atlas didn\'t have to fulfill the promise. He could just do whatever he wished now that he got what he wanted.

Despite having that freedom, he didn\'t kill Yovana. He didn\'t have any compulsion to fulfill his promise, but he did feel like he should.

A promise to someone like Yovana didn\'t hold much value to him, but he still felt like he should at least try. He was in the body of Castiel, and he had promised in the name of Castiel.

The only reason he received the opportunity to get his sister back was because of Castiel. Could he really spoil the name of Castiel by killing Yovana after promising her?

He also wanted to meet Atlan himself, and the safest way to do that was when Atlas was imprisoned. That way, he didn\'t need to worry about Atlan attacking him.

He knew Atlan and Castiel didn\'t get along, but still, he believed he should give it a try. He hadn\'t decided to actually free Atlan but only to meet him. After that, he could give any number of excuses to Yovana for not freeing him like it was impossible or something like that. Not like Yovana could know he was lying. If she could, she would\'ve already known that he wasn\'t Castiel.

"That\'s right. I\'ll be going to the Kingdom of Wolves. I promise is a promise," Atlas agreed as he started walking away from the eternal resting place of his sister.

"That\'s perfect. With you, I don\'t think I need to worry about anything. Lord Castiel can definitely free him." Yovana excitedly stated.

"Maybe I can, maybe I can\'t. It won\'t be that easy," Atlan answered, already giving him some room for an excuse later in case he changed his mind. "That aside, I also have a condition."

"What condition?" Yovana asked.

"You must tell me everything that happened with Atlan. How did you meet him? Who are you? Why do you care for him? Why do you want him free?"

"Wait, why do I have to tell you all that? That wasn\'t part of the deal. I already told you that you don\'t need to know this much to help me. Are you changing the terms of the deal?"

"Maybe I am. You need my help at this point; I don\'t."

"You know I can dig your sister\'s body back again and toss it in a gutter or something, don\'t you? Just because I gave her to you doesn\'t mean I can\'t take her back. If you go back on your promise, I can too. Lord Castiel, don\'t make things worse."

Seeing Atlas try to change the terms of the promise, Yovana was really upset. Just because he got what he wanted, he thought he could do anything he wanted?

In her anger, she didn\'t even realize what she had spoken.

Before she could realize just how far her words had gone, she found her neck in the hands of Atlas. "What did you say you would do to her body?"

The young rabbit dropped from her hand and started running, only to be grabbed by Lancaster.

Yovana couldn\'t even breathe properly as her throat was grabbed while she was raised in the air. She tried to bring another piece of paper out of her pocket, but she found her hands had frozen in place as well.

She couldn\'t move her hands. In the back, Lilith cast a spell to help Atlas and froze the hands of the young lady so she couldn\'t escape.

"You will toss her where?" Atlas asked in a demon-like tone.

"I-i did not... mean..."

Yovana tried to give an explanation even as she gasped for breath. She realized she might\'ve gone too far with her words. Atlas cared for that girl a bit too much. She shouldn\'t have spoken it, and she understood that. She tried to clear things. "... Didn\'t… Mean... Only... Anger... Free... Can\'t brea...the..."

"If I want, I can kill you this instant, and I won\'t have to ever hear that nonsense," Atlas stated as he tightened his grip, but he didn\'t actually kill her.

He tossed the young lady aside, freeing her before she could die of suffocation. "Next time you say something like this, I\'ll kill you!"

"And as far as my sister is concerned, you can\'t even touch her! Let alone you; no one can touch her in this world! Not anymore! Not even you!"

"You think you can get to her just because you know where she is buried? You think I didn\'t know what you might use the knowledge of that location for?! Lilith didn\'t just cast a spell to bring a flower to that place! She cast a protection formal as well! Even if you dig at that exact place, you will never get to Misella even if you dig for an eternity!"

"No one is allowed to disturb her sleep! Not anymore!"

Lancaster heard the sharp time of Atlas. The tone didn\'t sound like someone who had lived for a millennia. It was the tone of an enraged teen like him. It was the tone that was filled with emotion and grief. The tone of a real brother...

He didn\'t know why, but he didn\'t feel that Misella was a sister only in name. The way he reacted to her, it was as if she was his real blood sister. Even though he was told that Atlas was Castiel, he still doubted that.

It was just a feeling in his heart that the man before him wasn\'t a Progenitor who lived for a millennia. Instead, Lancaster believes that Atlas hadn\'t lied to him. Everything he spoke about his past, his actions showed that it was true. Then why was he confused with Lancaster?

As he lost himself in thoughts, he remembered a word that Atlas had spoken to him when he was helping him escape. Atlas had told him that he wasn\'t a Vampire who was turned, but he also wasn\'t born a Vampire. Instead, he was something else... Lancaster still remembered the word that Atlas had used to describe himself.

\'An Accidental Vampire...\' he thought.

He didn\'t know what the truth was or how Atlas became a Vampire, but he believed that the secret of that question was hidden in those words.

Yovana was free. She could use her hands once again to escape, but she didn\'t. She stayed on the ground, lowering her head. "I\'m really sorry. I didn\'t mean those words honestly. I... I was just giving a stupid example, but I would never disrespect the dead like that. I shouldn\'t have spoken such words. Lord Castiel, I ask for forgiveness.x really want to know about my relationship with Lord Atlan to help me, I will tell you. I would do anything to help get him out, even if it takes my life…."

"And thank you for not killing me. I\'ll reflect on my actions and won\'t say such stupid things again. Also, if you really want to know about my relationship with Lord Atlan to help me, I will tell you. I would do anything to help get him out, even if it takes my life…."
