Ch 3 A Bloody Feast

I decided to change my new name in this world to Alucard von Cathicus, it just seemed appropriate since I am a vampire now.

I also have a mother in this world because fortuna decided I should have one but she won't show up until later on from what I know.

Me and shadowmare walked through the forest for about an hour.

I spent the time practicing my magic and shadowmare seemed to cast intimidate on any rabbit we came across so they would freeze then he would walk over bite their heads off and rip them apart before swallowing the peices.

I really didn't mind him slowing us down because I was still getting acclimated to my powers so he could take as long as he wanted I didn't care. then we both turned our heads and focused on something in the distance , it was a scream.

I just said "Go" and Shadowmare bolted through the woodline onto a small field there I saw them, six men and a girl on the floor trying to fight one off and failing quite poorly. "Come on girl dont fight us you'll have a good time I promise" a fat dirty bandit said.

the girl only screamed more and tried to claw at the man but in vain.

as shadowmare quickly charged one young man got scared and fell over himself but the other five grabbed their weapons and readied for a fight, it seemed they liked their odds against a lone knight and they were experienced.

But for some unknown reason as the knight approached them they started to feel a trembling in their boots and they began to shake, the young man even pissed himself and began praying to the seven.

as shadowmare approached I noticed the girl had managed to get some distance between herself and the man attacking her because he turned and drew his axe but she couldn't get far with the wound in her leg.

Fighting these men would be easy as cutting a cake since I had superpowers and I towered over them, the tallest of them was 5'6 the shortest about 5'3 while I was 6'8 with way more reach.

Just a few paces away I jumped from the back of shadowmare and cut the arms off of two of the men with a swing of my two falx (swords) while shadowmare grabbed one of the men by his leg with his sharp teeth, lifted him and shook him like a ragdoll until the leg came off then he bit off a chunk and stomped on the man's head which popped like a watermelon and pink matter and juice splashed everywhere for a meter.

seeing their three friends being attacked so gruesomely the two experienced bandits put up their guard while the young man trembled nonstop and reeked of urine and shit. with a swift swipe I cut one man holding a shield diagonally and he split into two peices along with his shield.

the other man was rammed by shadowmare who stomped on his legs and arms before his guts were ripped out of his body by the seemingly demonic horse who started feasting on his entrails before the man was even dead his whailing and crying was sweet music to my ears.....after a short while all I heard was the mutterings of the last remaining bandit...I don't know if you could call him a bandit, he didn't look older than 14 and I smelled innocence from him he'd never taken a life and he'd never been inside a woman.

it brought a smile to my face..... the perfect prey for a sacrifice.

I used Hematomancy to gather blood from the corpses and floated all of it to my mouth where It tasted oh so good I couldn't wait to have more. the girl that was being attacked didn't see any of this as she had turned herself into a little ball by hiding her head in her knees and staying perfectly still however I could still smell her tears in the air.

I slowly walked to the young man and took off my helmet at shadowmare approached him while munching on a mouthful of intestines.

his muttering was nonstop "mother save me...mother save me....mother save me."

I laughed a bit before telling him "The Mother is not here boy....just you me and the girl you tried to rape..."

at this the girl turned her head and looked at the both of us with a tear stained face but a glint of tenaciousness in her eyes which I did not miss

"please sir I didn't mean to they forced me to join them I swear it.."

"Girl... is this true" I asked

I looked over at her she couldn't be older than 16 or 17 and she was a bit small but pretty in a simple plain Jane sort of way with dirty blonde hair and freckles.

she wiped her tears and firmly shook her head with an affirmative 'no' which caused me to smile and my fangs inadvertently popped out causing the young man to shriek and try to run but shadowmare simply stomped on his shin causing it to shatter and he dropped back down.

I went to the dimensional store and withdrew a statuette of fortuna and a small horn hilted curved ritual knife, the same as I used in my previous life.

"stay still or you'll regret it."

I firmly told him and he stopped trying to escape but he still writhed in pain.

I placed the statuette of fortuna above his head and walked beside his body and kneeled down.

I methodically cut his leather jerkin off and his wool tunic and exposed his chest. this is when his eyes widened and I saw true terror in his very soul.

he attempted to struggle but I unleashed my bloodlust and he just froze in place and his face paled and began to sweat.

I grabbed his face and looked into his eyes....."yes...a good offering"

I slowly and methodically cut from his navel to his sternum in a shallow slice while chanting

" Fortuna vide hic i Alucard von Cathicus hoc tibi offerat ut te in perpetuum regnes" with my other hand I moved his organs aside to expose his diaphragm and made a cut along it. reaching in I grasped his heart and while holding his beating heart I spoke while looking at the sky. "FOR YOU MY LOVE." And cut his heart out of his body.

he was conscious for a few seconds as he saw me taking bites out of his still beating heart before his eyes glazed over and he stopped breathing.

his heart and blood tasted far better than those other bandits and I would have more innocent blood in the future that's for sure.

Finishing up on my light snack I stood up and cleaned the gore off of myself with a bit of magic and stored the statuette of fortuna in the dimensional store.

I looked over at the girl who I expected to be shaking in fear but instead was looking at me with no fear in her eyes only dried tears and... hope

.....very strange....
