The Awakening of Blood

Oliver's scream fades away, the winds stop, the bats shush, the sky gets clear and everything goes quite so quiet it feels like the masked man went deaf all this makes him feel sick then suddenly a noise breaks the silence he looks at the noise direction and hears the blood dripping out of Oliver's cut offed finger. The silence, motionless Oliver tied to the chair and the blood dripping sound suddenly the room goes cool the thug is now getting goosebumps just by looking at Oliver, the thug just stands there lost in his thoughts of sheer terror suddenly a hand comes and pat on his shoulder this stalled the thug turns out it was his men "What was all that noise??? and where is that dude?" this question confuses him he replied "what do you mean he's right here" he turns around as sees the empty bloody chair and shredded ropes "what the hell!" the thug is now filled with terror he is now in a brink of going crazy after seeing so much tonight he surely didn't expect that tonight will be his last. "Where the hell is he!!!' the big thug asked again but the other guy was just so scared to speak the big thug tries to argue with him but before he can make his partner talk they hears a loud scream from upstairs the big guy rushed upstairs and the little one follows as they got upstairs they see a pool of blood coming out from a room the slowly go closer to the door as close as they move sounds of tearing flesh becomes louder and louder now even the big guys is a little afraid but it didn't stop him from opening the door which turns out to be his biggest mistake as he sees Oliver eating the guts out of their dead partner's body, the big guy was so stunned upon seeing his horrifying act that he couldn't do anything but to just stand there in quite he slowly moves back trying to sneak out of the room but his luck runs out as the little thug gets there and he sees the cannibalistic act and Screamed with his all might the big guys tries to shut his mouth but Oliver already heard it he stops eating and slowing turns his head back revealing his pitch black eyes, razor sharp teethes and blooded mouth with the thug's remains falling off of his mouth Oliver smiles at them, just like a predator smiles at his prey. Sometime later Olive's wife came back with the kids "Honey we are home!!", as they entered the house his wife felt something. Something abnormal like something was not right but she was not sure the house was clean and there was no sight of any trouble at all "Mom where is daddy" her daughter Riley asked but she had no idea. The house was so clean not a single blood drop anything that suggests that this house was a torture house and then a slaughterhouse just an hour ago. Although she felt something was off, she put the kids to bed and walked around the house with no sign of Oliver either and not a single message from him. he disappeared just like that, she started to worry but before she did something she saw a picture frame on the table with no picture on it, "wherever you are…. please be all right" she sits down on the chair with her hands crossed her heart she closes her eyes and prays for her husband's welfare. However, she doesn't know that her husband has once again become something he was once!

The hollowing hills,

800KM away from Vatican City

A man returns to his home unlocks the door and enters the house upon entering he sees a shadow of a man sitting on his couch right in front of him, "hey Mathew" the shadow speaks. Mathew still calm takes off his jacket and puts it on the hanger and replies "Hey Oliver, I was wondering when you showed up", "You don't seem too surprised to see me" Oliver asked "Well…first you killed your father, took his place killed your entire family then disappear for 30 years and just make you big come back not 10 minutes ago, so yeah not surprised. Why are you here anyway??" Mathew turns the lights on which reveals a wounded Oliver with cut marks and bruises on his face and his body and hands are covered in bandages "Whoa!!! Man, you surely don't look good" Mathew says surprised "what are this you were gone for so long your powers don't work no more" Oliver stood up and tossed the enchanted dagger towards him "I need your help". Later Mathew pours coffee in Oliver's cup they were sitting in round table and talk like old friends with the dagger right next to cups "who were the thugs??" Mathew asked "don't know probably some random thugs who got real unlucky real quick" Oliver replies and take a sip, the dinks the coffee in silence and Mathew asked again "what do you want me to do" Oliver looks at him as it was obvious what he want but Mathew is somehow trying to avoid it "I want you to find the person who sold this dagger to them " Oliver knows he's trying to avoid him, as Mathew has no reason to trust his after what he has done to his own family but he need help "alright will do" Mathew replies his voice feels like he isn't really going to help him so Oliver added "look man I wants the best friend you had wish I could do more for you but my hands were tired, the only reason I come here is that you are the only person I know I can trust also you got quite a nose too" Mathew laughs "don't worry man it's all in the past, c'mon let's get you patched up" Mathew gets up and moves towards the door but Oliver stops him "ah no man you don't have to" but Mathew instead "no really man what will your wife thinks if she sees you like this, c'mon" they left the house, they walk down to road till they reach the healer's place on the way down they talked about their lives and share stories upon reaching at the healers' Mathew knocks on the door and a little girl opens the door she may looks little but was wearing cloths like an adult person, "hey sweetheart could you help my friend here' she looks at Oliver and a joyful smile runs her face "AH!! Mr. Count Dracula! I heard a lot about you and didn't expect to see you." Oliver now seems surprised but Mathew is impressed before Oliver can question Mathew answers "She is gifted she can see us as we are.' "This is who I am" Oliver replied in a rude tone completely denying the fact that he indeed is Count Dracula a sudden shift into silence makes the situation intense so Mathew breaks the silence "Yes focuser man this is who you really are, anyway dear could you help him', he asked the girl who still is looking at Oliver without blinking she replied creepily "help…yes for now….but later you going to need a lot of HELP' she went inside after her Oliver and Mathew follow in a room there is a big sofa in which she tells Oliver to lie down and close his eyes he did so and the healing begins as the process goes Mathew feels sleepy and li motion less in the sofa, later he gets back his home, "let's hope she's not angry." He walks to the door just he pulls out his pair of keys he sees that the door is broken he quickly rushes in and sees his house destroyed, he walks around he sees his wife lying on the floor heavily wounded, covered in blood and crying upon seeing his dying wife Oliver breaks into tears he gets on his knees, pulls her up into his arms with the last breath she speaks "he….he…have the kids…..", now completely panicking olive asked "where…..where are they" she points upstairs and dies, "ok…..ok…I'll go get them you just stay put ok you just…." He realise his wife is no more he hugs her and burst into tears then he puts her back, take the knife she was holding and rushed upstairs just as the stirs ends he saw his dying daughter lying against the wall looking at the room looking ahead he quickly rushed at her, she was breathing but was too weak to say anything, "hey…hey…hey…baby girl….don't worry, everything is going to be alright. I'll take you out of here don't worry," he tried to pull her up but she stops him and with her last breath she points at the room door and whispers "save Sammy" and she joins her mother too, now Oliver is complete heartbroken he can't stop crying he doesn't know what to do he was too afraid to look behind the door but he has to look he gets up wipes his tears, walks towards the door and opens it, there what he saw he couldn't believe it, it was his worst nightmare his hell coming to him he saw a monster eating his lilt boy limb by limb, his face shows true terror the voice of breaking bones breaks his soul before the monster could hurt his son more he lashes out on him spear him out of the window to the ground floor and stabs the monster countless times he stabs the monster tills his cloths turned red , when the monster stopped moving and the knife hits the ground he turns the body around to see and what he saw destroyed him the monster was Oliver in his true form, Oliver fells on the ground and start crying and screaming like a madman.

Mathew and Lizzie sitting at a round coffee table in the next room waiting for Oliver to wake up from the aftereffects of the healing process. Both of them were just sitting there quite awkwardly quiet then Mathew looked at Lizzie whose face clearly showed nothing but disgust for what Mathew was doing for Oliver, however, Mathew didn't hold back and asked "What is it? Say it." "Say what??" Lizzie tries to avoid the conversation "C'mon I know what you thinking your face says it all, say it" Mathew insists "Fine! Why the hell did you bring him here? You know who that is. What he's done. To your people to my people and to absolutely every being out there not to mention what he is doing now!!" "Uh NO" Mathew stops her "First thing he's my friend and second he doesn't have a choice he was blinded he doesn't know the difference between right or wrong and that other thing he's not the one doing it I know it" "what do you mean!! Someone is pretending to be the drab…" before she could finish her sentence they heard a loud crash noise they get up at rushed to the room where they see Oliver on the floor shivering in fear still in the effect of the terrible nightmare he had Mathew and Lizzie picks him up and put him back at the couch then Lizzie took a bottle from the nearby shelf and pour some sort of dust onto her palm "here….here….breath!!"Oliver took a huge sniff of the dust which magically helped him to calm down. Late Oliver and Mathew take their leave from Lizzie's place "Hey, thanks for today I'll see you later ok" Mathew said to Lizzie "Be safe" Lizzie replied and shut the door as they walked back to Mathew's place Oliver asked Mathew "so you can that lady …you two are a thing?" "What me and Lizzie no way…. you think?" Mathew replied also asked with curiosity "She has eyes on you …I mean the way she looks at you" Oliver replied, "What seriously….no you kidding me right?" "No man seriously look I have been married for years by now I know how a woman looks at you and what she wants her to look when she sees you, she defiantly wants to eat you if she doesn't eat werewolves but you get me' as Oliver finish talking, he notices that Mathew stopped walking a few steps back Oliver turns around and sees Mathew smiling "what??" Oliver asked "Look at you man…you changed so much… I mean look at us talking about women decades ago our families were fighting each other to death and here we are the last remains of two families famous for their hatred for each other" Mathew takes a long ride to his past reminds him of everything he lost things he did almost had an emotional breakdown but Oliver pats his shoulder "time changes everything man everything…." Both of them shares a good moment for friendship and brotherhood and suddenly Oliver realised his family would be back at any time "oh shit…. hey you got any transportation dust left??" Oliver asked "What!!"

Later Oliver quietly opens the main door and tries to sneak his way to his bedroom without waking anyone but as he passes through the hall towards the stairs a light lamp turns on behind him, he turns around and sees his wife sitting on the couch furious "hey…you still up?? Is this a new gown?" Oliver tries to avoid the wrath of his wife he's about to face "Cut the crap! Where were you?" his wife asked "I was out with the guys…having a beer" Oliver replied "bullshit. Tell me where were you and what's going on?' his wife surely isn't buying in his lies "seriously what's up with you" Oliver insist, but she didn't buy it instead she pulls up a crystal locket out of her pockets "so you're saying if I break this illusion locket I won't found this hall bloodied and 3 mutilated bodies in our basement?" olives game are now up his wife knows "say something dam it I saw the teleportation dust tell me where you were what happened here who were those people? Tell me" They sat down on the couch and Oliver told her everything that happened from beginning to end "At first I thought they were just some robbers but when they pulled out an enchanted dagger I knew something was up, the court would never allow merchants to sell enchanted weapons in human markets and if it's not the court then…" "Someone is pretending to be you…" his wife now understands everything they both know who is it and what's going on "I think my past is back to haunt me" his wife is in complete disbelieve he stands up and says "All right I am reporting this to the court and we are leaving this place is not safe anymore" "what! No …..now you can't…just give me sometime ill fix everything" Oliver replies "Then let me help you" "No I have to do this I started this and I am goanna finish it " "We started this" his wife argues "I started this and I dragged you into this last time we did it I almost lost you I can't take that risk again just give me some time everything will be all right" Oliver tries to reason with his wife "one week …after that ill report this to the court." He got up and walks to the stairs Oliver follows her then she suddenly stops and turns around "but before that' she again pulls up the locket and this time he breaks it and the room again turned blooded and show the result of the aftermath of olive ruthless murders "clean this shit up and no magic this time….and after that come to bed I got another surprise for you" she whispers in his ear and went to her room olive now alone in the blooded hall "well at least she isn't mad at me better finish this before I miss my surprise."
