The Fallen Vampire

Chapter 3: Awakening

"By the gods..." Annalise muttered.

The walls around them were made out of some kind of black marble that was draining her magic power as the seconds ticked by.

Garm noticed his wife's face that was rapidly losing color and made a vow not to subject her to this discomfort any longer than necessary. "Let's get that door open."

The men all lined up in front of the large stone doors and began to circulate energy through their bodies.

Garm was the first to attack, throwing a solid punch with his gauntlet that was enough to pulverize a car.

However, his effort appeared to have been in vain when his fist easily bounced off the surface of the door.

"What the hell is this thing made of?!"

Alex walked forward and rubbed his bloodied hand on the wall, hoping for a repeat of the events upstairs.

Unfortunately, nothing of the sort occurred and he was left with a sour expression.

"Hey guys...?"

The men turned around to see Annalise had opened up all of the coffins.

All of them appeared to be empty, except for one.

They quickly arrived beside her and peered inside to see what was making her so shocked.

"Holy hell..."

"That's..."

"Is this real?"

Laying down comfortably with its arms folded, was a desiccated corpse.

The corpse was wearing what appeared to be a high grade bio armor in the form of a black and burgundy kimono.

In the center of its sunken chest, was a small bright red gem and it wore two ancient looking rings.

"This is an actual vampire corpse, right?!" Michael asked in disbelief. "Or am I seeing things?"

"If you're seeing things then we're all seeing things." Alex confirmed.

"I don't understand... these guys were all supposed to have turned to ash centuries ago!" Annalise said.

"Forget fifty gold... we could sell something like this for thousands!" Garm could not take his eyes off the priceless treasure in front of him.

"This bio armor is top of the line... but those rings!!" Alex was the most excited about the jewelry on the right hand of the deceased vampire.

On the index finger there was what appeared to be a very high-grade storage ring.

At first glance he could easily tell that the space inside must've been incredibly generous.

But on his middle finger there was a type of ring he hadn't ever seen before.

It appeared to be made out of a brilliant white marble that was immune to dust and dirt. Finished with a black obsidian stone, it was easy to tell that he was looking at a piece of art.

"Forget the ring... this guy had a soul weapon!" Annalise said as she excitedly analyzed the red gem in the corpse's chest.

Soul weapons were something that only a select few were born with.

It was essentially a lifelong companion that was capable of growing with it's user until death.

However, there was a method to extract them from their original hosts and use them as your own.

"Look guys..." Garm said solemnly.

Everyone tore their eyes away from the colossal discovery and stared at the hulking man.

"Look... there's no reason for us to tell the old man we found all of these things..."

They all nodded in unison; their greed having long gotten the best of them.

"We'll each take one item. After that we can-"

"Deal!"

Alex did not even let the burly man continue before he grabbed the corpse's fragile hands and attempted to pull off the white ring.

Annalise did not mind, nor did Michael.

They both had their eyes on the vampire's soul weapon and bio armor.

However, a sudden flash of white light emanating from the ring stole away all of their attention.

"Get back!" Michael ordered and all four of them took a giant leap backwards.

The light grew and grew until it was almost blinding, before it suddenly disappeared and in its place was an extremely attractive woman.

She had skin that was a mesmerizing warm brown and raven black hair that fell to her feet. Her thin yet tasteful pale purple dress exposed her slender arms and large breasts.

*Yawn~* "Good morning, my prince." The woman said as she rubbed the sleep out of her reddish pink eyes.

"Where did you come from?!"

The woman suddenly opened her eyes wide when she heard an unfamiliar voice.

"Hm? Who are you?" She asked as she tilted her head cutely.

"That's not important! Who are you and where did you come from?!" Garm roared.

The woman did not seem to notice or care about his outburst as she slowly took in her surroundings. "W-Why are we in the royal bunker?! By Absalom ... King Alucard is going to scold me again..." She muttered, already envisioning her punishment that she would not be able to weasel out of.

"Absalom...?" Michael muttered.

He knew he'd heard that name before, but he was having a hard time remembering where.

"Ah! That's the name of the god those vampires worshiped!" Alex realized.

This caused the four humans to immediately raise their guard.

"Y-you're a vampire?!" Annalise questioned.

The woman suddenly removed her head from her hands when she heard something absurd. "Hm? Not at all, I'm a poltergeist."

"She's a gho-" Annalise began.

"Where is the third prince?" The woman suddenly asked.

The humans drew their weapons instead of answering, causing the ghostly beauty's gaze to harden.

Now that she'd actually stopped to pay attention, she realized that these people in front of her were still living.

And not only that, they were human as well.

"Humans... there are actually humans in the hallowed Ascalon castle?! Inconceivable! Unforgivable!"

As the woman spoke, her appearance and demeanor began to change drastically.

Her voice took on an echo and became hoarse and dreary.

Her once enchantingly beautiful face contorted, her eyes becoming a deep black and her jaw stretching and widening far past the limit of a human's.

Long nails burst forward from her fingertips and her skin became semi translucent.

She slowly floated off the ground, her raven black hair floating madly and becoming ash white.

"She's in the overlord realm!!" Alex warned but it was too late.

The woman sank into the darkness of the bunker and immediately disappeared.

Only her echoing voice could be heard as she spat venomous taunts at the unfortunate intruders.

"I swear on my honor as the personal maid of the third prince of vampires, I, Enyo, will not allow any of you to leave this place alive!!"
