Orcs. Fairies. Witches. Creatures. Werewolves. Golums. And vampires alike.
Let us flourish quietly amongst the tall, old trees that whisper to each other through their thick mossy coats.
Grant us to drink and savor, indulge while God's eyes stay clo...
"What the fuck…" you weakly murmured staring down at the bodies, trying your best to not look for too long at the crismon liquid which was already hard on its own. "This…was certainly not what I expected."
"Please…please he-help me.." You jumped a bit as one of the figures moved weakly, a boy at the age of about sixteen reached out his shaky pale hand in your direction. "Help.."

Practically falling to your knees you caught the boys hand in yours and quickly assured to his side. He was in a really bad state, his clothing completely soaked in blood, weak pale body and teeth that clicked against each other as he lost more and more of his body warmth.
"Hey, hang in there human!" You flipped him over onto his back and gritted your teeth in distress, the boy's eyes opened and closed weakly as he was slipping in and out of consciousness.
Your breath hitched once you spotted what was littering the male's neck. Bite marks. One's you were quite familiar with, four sharp holes after canines with smaller ones right next to each one of them which were made by an extra set of teeth the vampires liked to call "the hooks".
"But how is that possible…?" You whispered in disbelieve before glancing around on the other bodies just to spot the same marks. "No one from the Family would do something like this…"
Turning back towards the red-headed male you shook his shoulders "Hey human! You need to tell me what happened here, stay conscious!"
"I-I…" he murmured and gasped before his body went still and eyes fluttering shut.
"Human!!" He did not reply to your shouts.
"Goddammit!" You bit the inside of your cheek and looked at his pale face with a panicked expression. There was only one thing you could do in that moment but that would put both you and him in great danger. You weren't sure you could throw that much weight on that young man's shoulders, no vampire no matter how old they were was never ready to go through with the process.
"Ugh fuck it, FUCK IT!!" You grumbled through gritted teeth. "I was taught how to do this, I'm not about to chicken out. I need information!!" Leaning down you muttered a single short prayer under your nose before sinking your teeth into the redhead's neck ever so delicately, the familiar taste of metal instantly carrasing your tongue like a sweet melody. Quickly swallowing it you retracted your head before biting the wrist of your right hand, a dull tangy spice filling the inside of your mouth, old rotten blood. Vampires blood.
Keeping it inside of your mouth your nose wrinkled at what you were about to do, the situation was dier and you simply did not have any time to go around the house looking for a cup or any other type of container. Plus you didn't really want to spit it out onto your dirty palm.
Leaning down you lightly connected the boy's lips with yours before letting your blood trickle down to his mouth, the brownishly crismon liquid instantly leaking through his throat.
You pulled away and stared down at the boy's body with a tense expression, a deep silence filling the air as if the whole world took in a deep shaky breath out of fear.
"M-Maybe…i did not do it the right way…?" You whispered. The limp body laying under you did not move even an inch, his eyes sealed shut. "…dont tell me I fucked it up"
The male's eyelids suddenly shot open as his body started to wiggle around on the floor, mouth agape as whines and short yells of pain torn through his throat.
"Hey, human calm down!!" You panicked and gripped his wrists as he tried to claw onto the skin of his freckled face. You subconsciously knew something like that would happen as you got told about it many times, but at that moment all those lectures did not matter, everything in front of you was new, different and frightening. In a way, you still did not fully grasp what you did.
"AAAGh!!" The teenager screamed in pure agony, tears rolling down his face as his rib cage jolted upwards and legs tangled with each other.
The cries came to a sharp halt as his body stiffened and eyes rolled back to his skull, bright red rings enveloping the male's eye rises, illuminating his face for a split second before vanishing. With that, his body relaxed against the wooden floor, eyelids closing once more and a peace smoothing out his face.
Once a few seconds passed and you made sure that he would not move again you leaned down and pressed your pointy ear against his chest.
You did everything correctly, a faint heartbeat was playing beneath his rib cage at an irregular speed.
"1,2..3..4. 1,2..3..4." Counting the beats under your breath you exhaled proudly, the muscle worked exactly as it was supposed to after the ritual was done.
Moving away you gazed down at the male's tired face before rubbing away some of the blood from his cheek. Now that everything was complete all you could really do was sit there and let the situation sink in.
"I really did it…" you whispered and pinched the bridge of your nose. "I wonder if he would be proud of me…who am I kidding he never wanted me to become a master.." But it was too late, the stars allied and with the simple exchange of blood you managed to bring another life upon the earth, another vampire made out of a human whose sole purpose was to kill them.
You did not want to ponder over it any longer.
"Alright let's get you out of here." Standing up you gathered the small boy in your arms like a baby, moving a few strands of hair from his face. "I promise that I will take down the one that did this to you."
You gazed up at the moon that casted its light into the dark house.
"And I'm sorry, but this day was the last in which you could fully enjoy the sun."
