Chapter 24

Hearing Raizel's words, Michael showed a conflicted expression, perhaps a mix of hesitation and hope. He glanced at Frankenstein. In response, Frankenstein gave a nod, indicating his stance. Michael's face started showing genuine happiness at the prospect of letting his daughter have a chance to attend school like any other kids her age.

Seeing that he didn't have any opposition to Raizel's suggestion, Raizel glanced at Frankenstein and said, "Frankenstein..." grabbing Frankenstein's attention. After a moment of thought, Raizel said, "I want you to prepare her a new identity like you did for Michael. And..." Raizel continued, "Could you make an artifact for her to contain her distinct scent?" In response, Michael said, "I could, Master." Raizel simply said, "Good.".

Seeing there was nothing else to discuss, Michael excused himself to his room, leaving Raizel in the hall while Frankenstein prepared tea for him, lost in thought.

After a while, Frankenstein returned with tea, pouring it for Raizel. Raizel asked Frankenstein, "I wonder if Cullen's still here?" In response, Frankenstein, with a slightly sad voice, said, "They are not, Master. Last time I contacted them, they were in Brazil." Raizel remained silent, pondering his involvement in the plot of the second movie.

Raizel pondered whether his recent actions might have altered the course of events or if they remained unchanged. Eventually, he decided to set aside such thoughts for the time being. With much on his plate, Raizel couldn't afford to dwell on the affairs of others.

The hall remain silent until Raizel finished his tea. Rising from the sofa, he prepared to retire to his room when Frankenstein addressed him, "Master." Raizel turned his attention to Frankenstein's query, "Frankenstein?"

Standing up from his seat and leaving his tea cup on the table, Frankenstein inquired further, "Master, Is there anything on your mind?" Raizel, not inclined to delve into the matter, simply replied as he made his way to his room, "There is nothing troubling me more than Lukedonia, Frankenstein."

As Raizel departed, Frankenstein remained behind, watching him leave while discreetly concealing a piece of paper containing information he had obtained through his spies regarding Union, his expression troubled.

For the past 813 years, he had tirelessly searched for his master, waiting and growing weary in his pursuit of finding the sacred place where his master slept. Yet, his efforts had led him to an unexpected discovery: Raizel, alive and residing in his home, exhibiting behavior that seemed unusual to Frankenstein.

Despite his relentless investigation, Frankenstein had been unable to uncover how his master had ended up in America. Every clue he had managed to gather pointed towards the Union and the traitors within its ranks. Unlike in the original timeline, where Raizel remained unaware of Frankenstein's extensive knowledge of the Union, Frankenstein was keenly aware of everything related to the organization.

Returning to his room, Raizel reclined on the sofa. He had no desire to spend his night cooped up at home; instead, he longed to roam the streets, seeking diversion. Seated for a while, he eventually grew weary of the stillness. The window opened of its own accord, signaling that it was time for him to depart. With a leap as usual, he soared out of the window before it shut behind him, the night air rushing past him as he soared above the woods.

Lost in the exhilaration of flight, Raizel inadvertently veered into the LaPush Reservation area, catching the attention of the newborn Quileute wolf pack. Despite his speed, the pack recognized his presence, their instincts alerting them to his passing.

As he reached a street, Raizel descended from the air, continuing on foot. He wandered through empty streets before venturing into more crowded areas. It was there that he detected a scent unlike any he had encountered before, reminiscent of Dracula but distinct in its own way.

Instead of venturing further into the bustling streets, Raizel retraced his steps, returning to the empty street where he sensed the source of the unfamiliar scent awaited.

He continued to walk until he found himself in a narrow alley where a man appeared to be sucking the blood from another man's neck. The perpetrator seemed unaware of Raizel's presence until he stepped on the wet ground, causing a noise that caught the man's attention. With a look of anger, he met Raizel's gaze, clearly displeased at being discovered in the act.

Approaching Raizel with a menacing air, the man inquired, "Have you lost your way, lad?" His eyes darkened, veins snaking around them, and his teeth bared in a threatening display. Raizel, unfazed, replied, "Yes, my apologies for interrupting your meal."

Sensing Raizel's lack of fear, the man grew wary and demanded, "Who are you?" But before Raizel could respond, he vanished from sight, reappearing behind the vampire and lifting him into the air. With a smirk, Raizel answered, "Just a stranger.".
