Chapter 2

'I am now 10 years old... '

Jack thought interesting as he reminisced about the last 9 years.

He spent 5 years as a lesser vampire, still cooped up in his little house. Jack still didn't know about this world. The fact that vampires exist could be a sign that this isn't an ordinary planet.

His house didn't have many books. He barely conversed with anyone. Jack learned to talk inside his head as a way to keep him busy.

Jack planned his escape, excitement rushed to his head. He was going to escape when the sun sets. After all... Sunlight will kill him and it is easier to escape eyesight in the dark.

His skin was extremely pale, he had blood red eyes, and 2 fangs in his teeth. Jack still hasn't drank any blood.

That's why Jack can't be a full vampire. After drinking the blood of his first kill will he awaken inhuman strength.

The maid was slightly disturbed by Jack's physical changes when he first turned, but she eventually got used to it.

-------------

A man with black hair, yellow eyes, and hair all the way down to his waist. He wore a blue robe with golden edges to signify his wealth.

The man sat down on his thrown, covered with priceless gems that would make all envy. He looked handsome, dignified, and at the same time intimidating. The man looked down towards a person currently kneeling before him. She wore a white robe with light pink ends, long scarlet red hair, and silver eyes. She was Annie Silverado, an heir to one of the 3 great clans of the Sala Kingdom. Overall, she was extremely beautiful with a well proportioned body.

"What brings you here Annie Silverado."

The man said politely. His expression showed interest because Annie never bothered to visit him.

Annie wasn't as excited as the king, she had a frown on her face.

"Locky Sala, we had a son..."

Annie is one of the kings wives. Although she was his wife, she hated him.

"What!"

Locky's expression stiffened and grew into anger.

"How come I didn't know about this."

As a king he should be able to control his expression and changed it back to a neutral one.

"We have only done it twice... and that was 10 years ago..."

He was angry. Had she done it with another man?

"Yes, we had a son 10 years ago..."

She replied while still frowning.

"Then... Why didnt you tell me until now!"

His anger surged, some red appeared on his face and a vein bulged on his forehead.

"I... I... Was unhappy you forced yourself on me."

She replied.

"Where's my son?"

Locky asked with eager.

"I... I don't know..."

She stuttered on her response.

"He ran away..."

"What...why did he run away."

The aura coming off him was filled with dominance. Annie could only nervously answer.

"I locked him in a courtyard for 10 years."

She was extremely nervous, wondering what her husband would do to her. She was angry at her father for finding about her child. He even wanted her to tell the king about the child.

'None of this would've happened if he didn't exist.'

Were her thoughts.

The conversation continued until Annie was on her knees pleading. She desperately apologized and begged for forgiveness.

"We will talk about this later."

---------------

It was about 9 pm. Jack was heading towards a dark forest. He passed by many servants and people on the way.

'I must come from some rich family.'

Jack steadily ran inside. His night vision activated. His eyes slowly adjusted to the dark and can see everything like day. The trees made a whistling sound when hit against the wind. The howls of wolves can be heard in the distance.

Jack turned cautious. His excitement turned to wearyness.

'What now?'

Jack looked back and saw many torch lights.

"Guys! I think I saw someone."

One person holding a torch said.

All the others looked in the same direction.

'I've been found.'

Jack said to himself.

He saw 3 people holding a torch walking towards him.

They got closer until the light lit up his face revealing himself.

"It's him..."

One guy pointed at Jack, recognizing him at a glance. The king put a reward to anyone who could find and catch Jack. They put a request in the adventurers guild with a hefty reward.

"Quick catch him."

Another one said.

'Shit'

Jack rapidly ran further into the forests, while the 3 men follow behind.

'How can humans be so fast...'

Jack thought.

They easily caught up to Jack in his 10 year old body. His short legs can only run as fast.

"Stay still and let us catch you, we don't want to hurt you."

The reward said to catch him unharmed. They can't risk hurting him or the person who sent the request will be unhappy.

"Haha... This is an easy way to get rich. Why can't more rich kids run away."

"10,000 gold coins, here I come."

The 3 people already acted like Jack was caught. They surrounded him and gradually came closer.

His instincts interrupted his thoughts. Jack's fangs increased in sharpness, his nails grew sharper, and his eyes turned even redder.

His instincts were telling him to kill. To drain their blood. To awaken my vampire side.
