My P.O.V.
My father forced me to go to high school if I wanted more freedom and more money. Ah yes, St. Mary's Academy. I did many atrocities back there 10 years ago or more.
Now I have returned to it.
The virus has been eradicated, and everyone is back to normal.
I stopped by the gate of the holy catholic school where the teachers are nuns and such.
I stepped in as the guard told me to come inside. That was all I needed to hear. An invitation to sacred grounds.
I went inside and went to the crowd to know which class I was in.
"Ah yes… 10th Grade Lady of Peace. My old one."
I left the crowd and went to the building, and went inside.
Everyone seems cheerful today, but I have my coffee intact with my fingers in one hand holding it, so and started reading a novel inside the classroom at the back seat.
No face is familiar here. Everyone already has graduated. It's been years since I got locked up.
Then someone went to me, a girl with her other friends, asking my name regarding how I just mysteriously appeared in this classroom, not knowing my unfamiliar face.
"Klei, at your service. Is there something you need assistance with?"
"Are you a foreigner?"
"Perhaps…"
"What country did you come from?"
"In the documents, I am from the Philippines, but I travelled many places. Like Japan and Romania, England."
Chapter 4—Reality
On November 8th of 2020, we won the lottery because of my random paganism witchcraft signs, symbols, omens, dreams, and tarot card reading with high intuition and numbers.
I chose to live in the Guagua Mansion for sale for 50 Million Pesos that I bought. It was old and vintage at San Roque, where the Yakuza I hired from Japan were now under my control.
"More wine, sir?"
"Blood wine."
"Ah yes, I have forgotten, blood… wine."
My butler poured wine into my chalice as I drank more blood.
"You see, the more you are fed… the less the monster…?"
"You dare call me a mindless beast?"
"No master! It is nothing like that."
"Soon, I will travel to Budapest."
"What for?"
"I live with my real father. Count Dracul Tepes Balaur."
"Who is he?"
"You've seen him in the movies, friend. Now, where is my red suit and other reds?"
"The red boots are already intact with your feet, master. Your suit and coat are at the back of this mansion, getting dry."
"It is indeed the sunny day but The Tower will come again."
"The Tower? You mean the storm?"
"Three of Swords, The Tower, and The Five of Chalices."
The butler looked over the other goblets on the table.
"Sire… if I wish to be curious enough, your chalices say about your emotions as you spoke of before…."
"I like the formality you speak… are they dry now? Before the storm hits today?"
"You do not have any electric devices… as if you are living in the medieval times."
"Medi-evil… times, friend. I am out on a hunt."
"During the day?!"
"There will be a storm later tonight."
"Your predictions are more accurate than the news master. Like how you won the lottery out of your insanity…."
"HAHAHAHAH!!!!! Shut the fuck up and get me damn clothes!"
"Much obliged." He bowed and went outside.
I looked over the balcony at the back of the mansion.
"Quite the wind,, huh? That is The Fool's wind my friend HAHAHAH!!!"
"AH YES SIR! I AM TRYING TO GET PASS THE WIND! IT IS RATHER THE DIFFICULTY!"
"DO NOT FRET! I GAVE YOU IMMORTALITY SO YOU CAN SERVE ME FOR FREE."
And then I wore all of my suit and coat with a red fedora.
"With the Yakuza with you… your father cannot bother you. He will not come to take you back to house arrest."
"As long as I behave."
"Forgive me for my curiosity, master, but why are you on a hunt before the storm hits when you drank enough… wine?"
"Blood yes. It is not enough; it is just rather iron supplements mixed with red wine. I need the real thing. Plus, the spread of the infection of this town turning everyone into mindless beasts under my Moon's illusion under control will gain more territory of the place."
"I did hear about the Kyokishi family of Shinda-gumi that you own as their boss and 2nd in command patriarch of the Yakuza back in the days. Why did you demote yourself?"
"I wanted a bit more freedom from the Yakuza and more into the life of the undead."
"Those members of Kyokishi dantai are… zombies… ghouls… vampires… werewolves…."
"Do not fret, you are not under my illusion, you are my serval at heart because I am the one who turned you. There is no deception between us."
"Thank you, master. Please bring your bodyguards with you even if you're overpowered. You cannot overpower your father!"
"No. I will go by myself."
I bought Red Bull and red Gatorade.
"Thank you, good Madam. I hope you have a dreadful night full of mosquitoes all over your body to overwhelm."
"HESUS CRISTO SANTO!!!" she did the sign of the cross
I got them for free.
I went outside and seduced many people under illusion and hypnosis and took their lives until they turned after I rewarded them with my blood.
And then… the night has come to take over.
Children of the night…
I wanted to experiment if these underling vampires could take out the entire military force of the town.
Luckily, if the Tower came to me instead of the people in the storm, I would flee to Budapest and meet the Count there with his carriage into his castle. I have a job to do after that this.
It was the night of the Full Moon. No matter how stormy, it was the only one uncovered for everyone to see. And the dogs of the entire town howled for a warning.
It has been centuries since the townspeople and the churches have done this, but they finally did it…
They rang the giant chimes of the church bells to gather into the church for protection. As the mindless beasts started to go on rampages for blood.
I calmly walked through the streets of Guagua to go to the church.
I knocked.
"May I come in? I need of assistance."
"WHY WON'T YOU COME INSIDE ALREADY?! THERE ARE WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING ATTACKING PEOPLE THERE!!!"
"Forgive me, god for intruding your home. But as the priests say, everyone area welcome…."
I went inside, stepping inside the church as everyone prayed.
"Do you think your god is going to help you?"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! PRAYER IS OUR LAST HOPE!"
"YES, WITH ALL YOUR MALICIOUS SINS AS A WHORE OF LUCIFER IN THE STREETS DO YOU THINK HE CAN FORGIVE YOU RIGHT WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE?! I know who you are…."
Alex came into the scene, the Werewolf.
"You had something to do with this, Father."
"FATHER?!"
"Did she say this young 17-year-old man is her father?!"
"Just who is this man?"
"I raised you as a cub into a wolf. And this is how you treat me for teaching you how to defend yourself? Now you're turning against me with every one of you? Yes! I admit it! I am responsible for this! REMEMBER MY NAME I AM THE SON OF COUNT DRACUL TEPES OF BRAN CASTLE! THE SON OF THE DEVIL! I DID ALL THESE AND WHAT IS YOUR HOLY POWER CAN DO TO ME?!"
Every exorcist started to perform, but it was no use.
"VAMPIRES!!! I INVITE YOU ALL INSIDE THE CHURCH!"
The dogs around the church howled.
THE GATHERING FORCES OF DESTRUCTION AND DARKNESS UNDER MY PALMS GATHERED AROUND TO KILL THE PEOPLE.
Alex took the knight's rapier of the sword of the church and stabbed me.
Luckily, I was too fast and went behind her.
And then, I bit her neck so she can live for the rest of her life, feeding on blood nonstop as a mindless beast she will try to control for all eternity, full of hatred, revenge, and guilt.
And then I fled to Budapest.
Remember, these are just all mind games.
If the pawns reach the end of the board, they promote into more than powerful as they already are. Do not underestimate the pawns.
That is why… you should defend yourself from the pawns, not the king. The king can do nothing unless he avoids conflict and escapes through routes or orders someone to guard him.
Unless invited, a vampire cannot enter sacred grounds, even a restaurant. If… however, they are invited in, they will always visit the place for more…
Even a church, for example.
"The last pill of Prozac…." I sighed, "Surely my butler will come to find me in the labyrinthine in Budapest. Or well… far from it, perhaps. You have to take a long train and other carriages.
