In the meantime, Christopher and Rose were walking towards the Living room where the man and his wives were waiting for them.
"Don't let yourself be insulted by him. He thinks that his existence is in the middle of the universe," said Rose looking at the living room doors.
Christopher just smiled and took Rose's hand.
"Lorie, open the door for us please," said Rose as the maid that was behind us walked towards the door, opening it.
When Christopher and Rose walked in, the eyes of the guests fell on them, especially the girls who were watching Christopher's every move with interest.
As we sat down, the man said "Rose, I didn't know you were... dating" He looked at Christopher with little anger.
"Oh Lazarus, you don't need to know" she answered as the air in the room suddenly felt cold like arctic winter came there.
"Well, I need to know..." he said adding "You are going to be my wife after all"
My heart started beating like crazy and my body was filled with anger hearing those words.
"I already said no, so if it's the only thing why you came here, then fuck off and leave my home!" said Rose getting up from the couch.
"How many vampires are here Rose? Four? Maybe five... You know you can't defeat me so leave this dog here and come to your daddy's house hahaha... You are already mine and you know it!''
Lazarus then stood up and took Rose's hand, forcing her to go with him, showing a display of a powerful alpha.
I stood up too, but when I took the first step towards them, I suddenly felt an intense pain in my chest.
My gaze fell on an old-looking, golden sword in my chest, piercing my heart.
"Hahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHA What happened boy? You look kind of... dead. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" laughed Lazarus as he pushed the sword deeper into my chest.
My body froze as I fell to the ground looking at Rose crying and struggling in the arms of one of Lazarus' wives but I couldn't move.
Suddenly my eyes started glowing purple and hearing a shattering noise in my head and feeling intense pain in my chest I closed my eyes.
The last thing I saw was the maids fighting Lazarus and his wives and Rose crying as she broke free and ran towards me.
[... Lost Memory: In the deep forest ...]
When I opened my eyes again I was sitting under a big tree in the middle of the forest.
"Where am I?" I said, looking around wanting to remember something, but then "Wait, why am I so... small?" Looking down at my small hands and body, I looked like eight years old kid!
I started to walk in a random direction and found a small lake so I used the water like a mirror.
"Yes I look like my eight years old self but why? What is happening?"
Suddenly a girl trembling and crying ran in my direction.
When she saw me a flame of hope lightened in her eyes "H-Hello Sir. C-Can you h-h-help me p-please, m-my friends and I were kidnapped. Please S-Sir h-help me." said the girl.
She had red hair and deep bruises all over her body, wearing a pink dress that was in really bad condition.
"What's your name?" I asked as she looked at me answering "R-Rose Sir"
'Wait, I remember this. This is the first time we met.'
I thought saying "That's a beautiful name, like you"
The girl trembled a little when she heard him, thinking 'B-b-beautiful? Me?... Is he not scared of how I look?'
She blushed and smiled.
"Wow, what a beautiful smile you have," I said as my heart melted and I wanted to hug her.
I unconsciously took a step towards her and when she saw it, she too instinctively took a step back.
"Don't worry Rose, I'm not going to hurt you. No one will ever hurt you again when I'm here" I said and I opened my arms.
Understanding I have only good intentions, she jumped at the top of me crying "Please Sir come with me and help me, please. Help my friends"
She was desperate so I hugged her and as I stroked her hair saying "Shhhh don't worry I'm here, don't cry I'll help you. I'm not going to leave you." I thought 'Hmmm my beloved Rose, you suffered so much.'
Without Christopher knowing it, a possessiveness was slowly building in his heart towards Rose, marking her as his second wife.
Vicki was marked as his first because of what she did for him and she was the first he had encountered.
He was building his possessiveness for her too.
She was with him from the beginning.
The sight of Rose's blood-red eyes full of tears and her body filled with deep cuts and bruises clinging to him, crying for help, filled his heart with hatred and rage towards the werewolves.
He held her like the most precious treasure, not wanting to let her go.
"T-this feels good" whispered Rose as she looked at Christopher.
'It's different from my father's hug' she thought, enjoying it.
"I don't want to end this too" replied Christopher but added, "Unfortunately, we must go and save your friends."
"P-Please, a few more seconds," said Rose.
"Hahaha, Okay then," said Christopher and let her hug him for a whole minute.
Then they got up and he cleared her face with a tissue he found in his pocket.
[... CLEAR TISSUE! There were no filth! ...]
Only then did he truly see her beautiful face, understanding what treasure he won.
"Wooow y-you are so beautiful Rose," he said still a little shocked by her beauty hearing "Thank you sir and what is your name?"
"I'm Christopher and now we are going to save your friends" he answered taking Rose's hand.
She trembled a little but then with a little blush, she smiled at him saying "I love you" as her eyes glowed with pink glow.
"I love you too," he said unconsciously, and when she heard it
*BITE *SLURP *GULP She bit his neck as his view trembled and shattered like glass and he fell unconscious.
... And then everything went black.
...
I slowly opened my eyes again and looked around.
I was back in the mansion but now I saw defeated maids lying around with bruises on their bodies, walls painted with their inner organs as the maids were drowning in their blood.
On the other side of the room was tied up Rose being held by one of the Lazarus' girls as he ordered them to take her outside.
When Rose saw I was somehow okay, she smiled unconsciously which caught Lazarus' attention.
Suddenly, Lazarus stopped what he was doing and turned.
He looked at me and smiled like a psychopath.
"No! You Monster! LEAVE HIM ALONE! GO AWAY FROM HIM YOU BASTARD!" shouted Rose as her gaze fell on me, but then one of Lazarus' wives injected a weird green substance into her neck, making her fall unconscious.
When Rose was taken out, Lazarus came to me.
"Hello, sunshine. And now we should say goodbye. You are still alive so you must have a strong soul. Others would be already dead by now."
"But still, you are so naive thinking you can have Rose. A fool like you who can't even protect her HaHaHaHaHaHaHa'' chuckled Lazarus and grabbed the sword's handle that was still thrust in my chest.
Pressing the wooden sword deeper into my heart, he laughed like a madman.
"Die, and never come back" were the last words Christopher heard before he fell unconscious again and black flames covered his body.
But something was strange because the fire didn't hurt Christopher and even his white suit was fine like he had some sort of protection around himself.
"Why he's not burned already!" Lazarus roared, adding: "And why the fuck are the flames BLACK?! Is this some kind of trick?!"
Understanding from the start that something went wrong, he spoke: "No, the sword is original, Ugh whatever, you are going to burn sooner or later boy. No one can survive after their heart is pierced by Raziel's sword!" said Lazarus and walked from the residence, ordering "Burn everything and fast. We are leaving after fifteen minutes. We don't want to encounter that old bitch."
[... And then? ...]
Nothing just cold emptiness where I was a few minutes until ["HOST! WAKE UP!"] Ardelean screamed but it sounded like he was far away from me.
Then my eyes opened as I saw... me, my shadow standing in front of me with only two things visible.
A wide smile full of sharp teeth and glowing purple eyes.
"Who are you?" I asked hearing ["It's me you stupid puppet."]
"Ardelean? What happened? Where am I?" I said looking around but the only thing I saw was darkness.
He looked at me and with a smile that was constantly growing, he said ["Congratulations host! This is the first time you died and now you are inside your soul"]
[... Meantime: The streets of New York ...]
Vicki was looking at Christopher's picture she had sneakily taken when he slept in his bed a few days ago as she suddenly felt that something was not right.
"Claudia?" she said looking at the black-haired girl sitting in front of her.
She nodded, saying "Something must happen to Rose"
She then took her phone and called Rose.
*BEEEB *BEEEB *BEEEB
Suddenly someone picked up so Claudia said "Rose? What happened?" hearing "L-Lady Claudia, Lady R-Rose and Lord, they a-are ugh" *BOOOOOM
"Lorie? LORIE?!" and then "E-E-E that's rude, you are a BAD maid! And now you are a dead maid BWAHAHAHAHAHA! *Ahm *Ahm sorry hehe, hello Claudia, how are you?"
"Lazarus," said Claudia looking at Vicki as her eyes changed from purple to blood red.
Claudia was the only one from the group who knew how to control her eye color.
"Correct, ten points for you. Now, you know I would be really happy if we could talk more but uhh..." he wanted to continue but Claudia cut him off saying "If something happened to Rose or Christopher I swear..."
Then he continued "Ooh so that was his name, well he is dead already. He was nothing and Rose is mine now, sorry, hehe but I have work to do so bye bye~"
"I don't want to be caught by that Crimson Beast Bitch after all HAHAHAHAHA-"
*BEEEB
When the call ended a dead silence took place in the black limousine.
Vicki's and Claudia's eyes become lifeless and black like black holes.
Their killing intents then exploded, as they screamed "" DRIVER! SPEED UP! NOW!"" making him tremble in fear.
"A-As you wish Ladies," he said as he sped up, sweating.
[... Christopher's soul ...]
"I DIED?!" I screamed looking at Ardelean and waiting for answers.
"Yes you died, but we don't have much time... first, do you remember the soul from that captain you consumed?"
"Yeah, it was a big black orb with a purple aura... why?" I asked as Ardelean made a gesture with his hand giving me that orb.
"Eat it, we'll use it as a backup!" he said.
I wanted to protest but heard "Just eat it you stupid puppet. Don't think nonsense" I took it and consumed it.
My body started glowing with purple light as I felt I was slowly getting stronger.
"Finally, second, I can teach you some tricks now..." He said and started walking in a random direction.
"Come host~ I'll make you unstoppable so you can fight, protect your wives, and help me in my mission" I heard, and after a few seconds of thinking I turned and followed him.
We arrived in front of a big totem where Ardelean started saying some weird words as the other one near us was suddenly covered in flames of darkness.
Then looking at me he asked, "Do you know what happened that night when you walked home from your friend's house?"
Seeing me shaking my head, he nodded and said "Then let me put some light into this mess"
We smiled at his lame joke as I waited for him to start, thinking 'Finally I might get some answers...'
[... The front of the Bathory residence ...]
A black limousine stopped next to the big gate.
A driver quickly left the seat and opened the back door for Vicki and Claudia.
Looking at the mansion covered in flames, they ran towards the entrance with horrified expressions.
Suddenly eight girls appeared in front of them saying "Well, well, well what do we have here." Girl 1.
"The filthy heiresses of Clan Phoenix and Clan Dark" Girl 2.
"Do you think you can stop us now? HAHAHAHA... Too late, your baby husband is already dead" Girl 3.
Claudia wanted to say something but then a loud explosion came from the mansion making her and Vicki look at the mansion in tears screaming ""CHRISTOPHEEER!?"".
"Ooooohhh what, do you cry because of that stupid pathetic man?" Girl 4.
"You can marry Lazarus, like us, if you want a true man HAHAHAHAHA" Girl 5.
But as their laughs died, everybody felt an incredibly heavy pressure and heard a loud demonic voice laughing like a maniac saying: "HAHAHAHAHAHA Ohhhh Lazarus, you stupid piece of shit!" hearing his name, Lazarus turned and gulped.
"Do you think you can just leave after you tried to kill me, hurt my wife and her maids, destroyed my wife's home, and tried to kidnap her? HAHAHA!"
Claudia and Vicki opened their eyes wide when they heard Christopher but knowing that he was fine now, they started looking around and saw Lazarus trembling in fear with unconscious Rose in his arms.
Strangely, the pressure coming from Christopher was ignoring Rose, Vicki, Claudia, and their driver.
Except for the driver, the girls felt only love and a little possessiveness coming from Christopher, even Claudia which made her blush a little.
Suddenly Lazarus roared angrily "Y-Y-YOU'RE WHAT?! WHY ARE YOU NOT DEAD YOU PEACE OF SHIT! HOW CAN YOU BE STILL ALIVE AFTER BEING STABBED BY THE RAZIEL'S SWORD!" as he started running towards his car, putting Rose into the trunk.
Claudia and Vicki looked towards the mansion with worry when they heard about Raziel's sword, but then a strange feeling filled their hearts as they heard Christopher's voice, which made them forget about it.
['Don't worry my dear wives. I'm okay. I just need to take care of this trash.']
Then, "HOW DARE YOU PUTTING MY WIFE INTO THAT FILTHY TRUNK YOU UNDEAD MAGGOT!" shouted Christopher as darkness covered the entire mansion and the garden, working as a barrier, preventing anyone from leaving and at the same time preventing the sunlight from falling on the mansion.
And when the last sun's rays disappeared, Christopher finally showed up.
He wore the white suit he got from Rose, and his two tentacles were visible to everyone as he held the two engraved pistols from Ardelean.
His eyes were glowing purple and his gaze was watching Lazarus' every move.
"You're going to die HAHAHAHAHA, Are you ready?" was heard as Christopher started slowly walking from the mansion doors, down the front stairs towards Lazarus who was slowly pissing himself, thinking 'M-M-MONSTER! HE IS A MONSTER!!!'
