CHAPTER 25


***

Three Days Later.

Ann and Lucas were in a public garden called "Ocean views Gradens". It is a new garden which faces the Atlantic Ocean, thereby giving the people (mostly couples) who visit the place a good view of the ocean. It is a government owned Garden so it face no prohibition.

The noise from the traffic in the nearby highway was tantalising with the view of the Ocean, it gives the people in the garden a kind of rhythm that is pleasing to them.

Ann and Lucas sat on a comfy couch at the edge of a rail that face the ocean directly, the vast ocean opened before them. it was like sitting on a big boat and overlooking the vast water.

"I've never been to this garden all my life" Ann said after sipping Her wine.

"ah!" Lucas exclaimed smiling, "I've been here a couple of times but only to brood on issues bothering my mind"

"I don't understand" Ann said looking at his face.

"you see, facing the ocean, looking at it vastness and looking high into its horizon clears my mind. it always give me bright idea" Lucas explained still looking at the Ocean. Ann maintained her gaze on his face.

"How does it feels?" She asked in a low voice that is Very difficult to hear at the first time. Lucas looked at Her confused.

"How does it feels being a vampire" She asked again. Lucas was surprised, He look deep into Ann's face with his Mouth agape. He could hear Her heartbeats very clearly. He smiled.

"It feels Horrible" Lucas began, "and amazing"

the Expression on his face was unreadable, it holds many untold secrets, many things that cannot be understood even if explained by the best teacher in the world.

"the craving for blood is what most vampires hate, although we have vampires who like to use their vampirism for their own personal gain using the bloodlust" Lucas said trying to explain his point.

"the blood thirst is unbearable, insatiable and unquenchable, I was a total mess" Lucas said and then look into the ocean again. He felt his soul leave him and plunge into the water, swimming so fast back in time, to one thousand, fifty six years back. then in the time of King Arthur, the Master of Merlin, 759AD.

*FLASH BACK*

December 28, 759AD


Lucas stood in the middle of the forest, His mouth covered with blood, His Fangs, long and shining. He was surrounded by nothing less than 25 dead Bodies. all of them drained of their Blood. snow was falling at it highest, and the ground was covered with it and the red stain from Lucas victim's blood stood enormously on it.

"Lancelot! Here!" He heard a voice shouted some distance back, "the dogs are going towards east"

Lucas froze, His legs and hands were numb, He knew that voice. it belongs to Gawaine, one of the Knights of King Arthur round table. the name he called, Lancelot was another member of the round table.

surely, that means his savagery have not gone unnoticed, the Knights of Camelot are out, looking for him. or the beast they thought He was.

He could hear their steps getting closer, with their touches, and no doubt, their sword drawn. He could hear their dogs barking at the top of their voices. then he did the best thing He could think of, He Ran.

He was still running when He got to a steep valley, He saw a red patch on the ground in front of Him, He looked back. He saw no sign of the Knights who were chasing Him.

He moved carefully toward the red patch, that is when He noticed it. a pile of Bodies all drained of their Bloods. He was sure he isn't the one that killed the set of people. they were numbered up to 50. and as at that time, they were only four Vampires in the world. His father, Him, and his siblings.


"Hello Brother" Mariam called out, Coming out of the woods with blood covering her mouth. She was licking Her fingers with a look of satisfaction.

"You kill all these People?" Lucas asked surprisely.

"I couldn't control myself, I couldn't hold back" Mariam said. She looked at the Bodies like they were some kind of dirt. She felt no remorse.

CHAPTER 26


***

PRESENT DAY

"Ah!" Ann exclaimed surprisely, "it was that bad?"

"Yes!" Lucas affirmed, "King Arthur had to declare a curfew. we were hunted for days and with the Help of his loyal Wizard Merlin, we were almost caught"

Ann Looked at Lucas for Sometimes, She have this question biting into Her, She wished more than anything to ask but She don't want to offend Lucas.

"You have a question for me?" Lucas asked like He was reading Her mind.

"eh.... yes" Ann answered unsure. She Looked at Lucas for sometimes like she was asking for reassurance to ask the question. The Look on Lucas face encouraged Her and She felt braver.

"Camelot" She started with hasitation, "I thought the Land is just some kind of folklore"
"I mean, every evidences proved that Merlin and Arthur didn't exist, that Camelot wasn't real"

Lucas smiled, He know this himself. He had watch for thousands of years how the land He grew up in became a myth. How the greatest king that ever lived become a Legend. How the greatest Wizard become a tale.

He knew that in the generation after Queen Guinevere ascended the throne after King Arthur's death, during the iron age, before the first hot balloon flew, before Guns replaced swords, before the first Airplane was built, and before Scientist made significant discoveries. Camelot was lost forever.

Camelot became England, the Land of Albion that unites all the five Kingdoms then become known as Great Britain. the Five Kingdoms were renamed Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.

He was there in 925AD when The Kingdom of England was created. established by the unification of tribes across modern day England.

He was also there in 1536 when the Kingdom of England and Wales was created by a bill enacted by KING HENRY VII which effectively made England and Wales the same country, governed by the same laws.
He was present in 1707 when the Kingdom of Great Britain was created. The Kingdom of England which includes Wales, joined with the Kingdom of Scotland to form The Kingdom of Great Britain.
also in 1801 when the United Kingdom of Great Britain merged with Ireland, He was aware. He knew when the name was changed to Northern Ireland.
In 1922 when The Republic of Ireland (Eire, or ‘Southern Ireland’) withdraws from the union, leaving just the northern counties of Ireland, He was there. and this is the UK that remains to this day.

He decided to explain to Her the best way He could.

"What You must know is that, Albion was the general name use by the Five Kingdoms together to refer to the land as a whole. Camelot was the biggest Kingdom among the five" Lucas paused, He wish she would understand this story.

"after Queen Guinevere's death, the Kingdom names changed, another Kingdom lost their king and was plunged into war, the King after Queen Guinevere interfered and got the Kingdom to be under Camelot which was now known as England." Lucas paused for some seconds again before she continued.

"Note that, not only Has Camelot changed its name to England at this time, the other Kingdoms had also done the same, which are Ireland, Wales, Scotland"

Lucas explained everything He could remember about His Homeland to Ann. while She listened on with rapt attention. and at the end of the story, She sighed deeply.

But Scientists have not find anything to suggest that this lands truly existed" Ann Argued.

Lucas smiled, He looked into the Ocean for sometime before facing Ann.

"Atlantis was real also, but yet no evidence of it existence has been found" Lucas said

"Yes, and that is because Atlantis was covered in water. the evidence cannot be found." Ann Argued yet again.

"Wasn't the Titanic covered in water?" Lucas asked smiling, "wasn't it found?"

Ann Kept quiet.

"There are so Many things that pass the understanding of the ordinary Humans. and this ignorance is because of their pretence toward Magic" Lucas said and face the ocean again.

"Humans don't want to believe that Magic exists. they don't want to believe that Supernatural beings exists. they will never find evidence about Camelot existence. they will never find the remains of King Arthur and his wizard Merlin. they will never know where the castle was built" Lucas said still looking at the Ocean.

Ann was looking at Lucas face all this time, She could see the passion on his face for his Homeland. there was total silence between them.

the silence persisted for some minutes, each of them with their own thoughts. Lucas was thinking about all the Nice time He had in Camelot with his siblings. the running around with the kids, the water, spring and summer.

Ann was reflecting on everything Lucas told her. it was all hard to believe. but it makes Sense.

She is a witch, she has magical powers. yet Humans pretends that Magic don't exist. Camelot is associated with Magic. to find out about Magical Lands, you must first believe in the Magic. if they don't believe in Magic, they will never believe that Camelot existed. Suddenly She remember something.

"You said that with the help of Merlin, King Arthur almost catch you, How?" Ann asked.

Lucas gave a short laugh. the past is the best story an Arthur can write about. it is also the best movie a producer can produce. He thought.

"The Problem with King Arthur was that, He hated Magic so much and it beclouded His sense of reasoning and Judgements. Merlin warned Him that the creatures killing the people of Camelot could be a creature of Magic and with that, He would need Magic to defeat it" Lucas began.

CHAPTER 27

****

"you haven't answered my question" Ann said to him, expecting him to continue his story.

Lucas Smiled.

"King Arthur decided He is not going to use Magic to try to defeat the monster. and He set out with His Knight on the last day of the year to look for the monster. this was after a fresh report was given. Merlin casted a strong spell that would not allow us to move from wherever we were till King Arthur caught up with Us." He stopped and looked into the ocean. He let his soul drift into the past.

*FLASHBACK*

December 31st, 759AD

Arthur and His men neared the four Monsters, the monsters could not move nor could they do anything. it was like they were tied by an invisible chain.

Arthur look at them, He couldn't believe his eyes. the monsters are not monsters. they were Humans, but with fangs.

"What are you?" the King could not stop himself from asking, His sword was drawn, ready to strike at any opportunity if they make any move.

Micheal, Lucas, Kolin and Mariam were trembling in front of the Knights of the roundtable. these Knights are the best in the whole of the five Kingdoms.

"We were Humans" Micheal answered trembling.

"Were?" Arthur asked again in surprise, "that is past tense"

"Yes" Michael answered again, His voice trembling still.
"We were Humans until we have to change to creatures with speed, agility, endurance, strength and with .......... immortality" He purposely paused before saying the last word.

Arthur and his Knights were surprised, clearly what Merlin had warned them about is the truth.

" You spoke as if you don't have any other choices" Arthur said again trying hard not to back down.

"Yes, We don't" this time, it was Lucas who answered.
" We are from the little village of Bernert, a small settlement under your kingdom. the evil sorceress Morgana came to our Village three weeks ago, She performed a great sacrifice that released a pack of deadly coyotes into our Village. they couldn't be killed with Sword or any weapon. within days, the coyotes had decimated Bernert population. the coyotes killed livestocks, Humans. they killed Everything they met. this is when my mother devised a plan to save us all except Her"


"What was the plan" King Arthur Asked directing his Question to Lucas.

"My Mother was a witch, She performed a sacrifice also, this sacrifice make us stronger even more than the coyotes, but it came with a deadly price. the sacrifice killed our Mother." Lucas explained.

Arthur didn't say anything for some minutes, He wished Merlin was with Him so He could ask of his opinion.

Lancelot spoke next.

"Your mother was a witch" He asked Lucas, "Bernert is a settlement under Camelot and Magic is outlaw in this Kingdom. you have to die"

Lucas looked at Lancelot for some minutes with a evil smile

"No sir Lancelot, you haven't been paying attention" He said, "We Cannot be killed"


*PRESENT DAY*

"hmm nice story" Ann commented feeling elated.

"Yes, but remember we couldn't move, so that means we couldn't escape" Lucas said facing Ann.

"So then, how did you escape?" Ann Asked.

"Well," Lucas said smiling, "we were saved by the evil sorceress Lady Morgana"


***

Fredrick walked into the room His Mother was in, Her wound have healed in the past three days but She knew Her days were not long on earth.

All Fredrick wanted for himself and his mother is to leave the town and never look back. He sat down beside his Mother, She was looking at a picture. Josh's.

"What is this mother?" Fredrick asked refering to the picture in Her hand.

"Joshua Francis" Elena answered, "The Lone wolf"

"The Betrayer!" Fredrick added with hatred, "the traitor I killed and will rekill if given the chance"

Elena looked at her son's face, She knew she have to tell Him, She knew time is not on her side. She have to tell him everything.

"Fredrick" Elena called, "there are some things you must know, about your real Father and everything that happened between us"

Fredrick looked at His Mother, She looked like the Burden of the whole world rest on her shoulder. suddenly, she looked old to him

"Joshua Francis is your Father" Elena announced

Fredrick gasped, His eyes wide open and he couldn't close his mouth. all His senses seem to fly away. And Elena took no notice.

CHAPTER 28


***

"Joshua Francis was your real Father" Elena announced.

Fredrick gasped, His eyes wide opened and He couldn't close His mouth again for a while. all his senses seems to fly away. but Elena took no notice.

"Thirty years ago, When Lucas killed John, the Man I truly loved, everything was worthless and I vowed that no matter how long it takes, I will find a way to kill Lucas. I did everything, made investigations and I found a witch Named Malia. it was two weeks after John died. She told Me that only one weapon exists that can kill Lucas and the weapon is with His father. She asked me to join team with Micheal but I must wait for 30 years before I do so. she said that together, we stand a chance."

"But she was not sure we have what it takes to kill Lucas and so, She made some precautions and if we fail to Kill Lucas, we are going to unleash Lucas Demons that would finally kill Him."

Elena came to a stop that leaves Fredrick speechless.

"I don't get the whole point of this story" Fredrick said after some minutes of silence.

"I met Joshua after Malia died in my hand, She transferred a bit of her power to me, and I know I have to have children before the 30 years, so I agreed to marry Josh. after two sons, I want no more, so I sent him away from the pack." Elena gave a long explanation again.

"what are you driving at Mum?" Fredrick asked, "If you don't love Him, why did you marry Him?"

"Malia told me to wait for 30 years before I join Micheal, before we attack Lucas" Elena answered.

"By that "We" I assume you are talking about you and Micheal?" Fredrick asked again, getting more confused.

"Yes"

"I still don't understand" Fredrick said, "why did she want you to have children first?"

"Because if we failed, I am going to die" Elena answered

"Die??" Fredrick asked, half shouting, "How?"

"The precautions Malia took involved me, She used Her power to summon me by making my investigations leads to her. when she died in my hands, a bit of her power transferred to me and thus, I become an anchor"

to Fred, Everything was Unbelievable. From Josh being his father, to all those witchcraft nonsense. if Josh was truly His father, that Means He killed his Father. and Now He is going to lose his mother.

" is there a reverse or loopholes" Fredrick asked, daring to hope.

"I knew what I was getting into. No Fred, there is no loophole, I accepted to be the Anchor" Elena said with a sad smile.

"All these because of love?" Fred shouted with frustration.

"Love is the most strongest thing in the world" She said trying to ease his pain.

"No Mother" Fred shouted, "Love is a weakness"

Elena smiled, "actually dear Son, Fear is the weakness. once you fear something, it becomes your weakness and could be use against You."

Fred looked at Her Mother like She's gone mad, She didn't know what she is saying.

"I am not afraid to Love, and I am not afraid to die for love. I loved John, and I am ready to die in the process of seeking revenge for Him" Elena said Finally.

Fredrick sat beside His mother, He buried His head in his palms. Sylvester was dead, He killed his father, now He is about to lose his mother also. His despair was great.

"One more thing" Elena said from Behind Him, Fred didn't move nor did He make any move or showed signs that He heard Her. But Elena was sure He did.

"I collected a bit of crystal from your father, it is called the Bluemoon. We were told tales of it when we were kids, every storytellers seemed to have different versions of what the crystal does but they hold to one point, it holds unspeakable powers" Elena said and brought out a round crystal ball from her inner clothes. it was blue all round. it is unlike any Crystal you have ever seen, it didn't not sparkle but look dull and blur.

"I want you to find out what it does" Elena said as She gave the Bluemoon to Fred.

"I don't.........." Fred was saying before He was cut short by Elena who held her middle finger over his lips to stop him from talking.

"I took it from your Father, He was experimenting on it, I was afraid the experiments would make it lost its power, and so when I sent him from the pack, I took it from Him" She said casually.

Fred didn't say anything but held the Crystal in his hand and walk out of the room to think about everything his mother had just told him. Elena on the other hand fell back on the bed to sleep.



The Next Morning, Elena was dead.
Fredrick buried Her, and left town. ready to come back when the precautions Malia made begin to work. He did not know what "Lucas Demons" are but He hope his mother did not die for Nothing.

So Guys, that is the end of the Part one of the story.

interesting part is, this is just the introductory part of the story, The real story is about to Begin.

Should I start the part two under this thread, or should I create another Page for it??
Re: The First Bloods by ashatoda: 10:28am On May 11, 2021
Very interesting story but definitely Lucas is truly dangerous and with the story that Elena has told her son before dying Lucas is on a long journey that will only lead to death. Don't let's forget that his father also promised to be back in addition to a vengeful boy whose parents lost their lives in the bid to dislodge Lucas. The part 2 go carry pepper and salt pa. Please open a new thread for that. More grace upon you@op
