The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 183 183: I'll Kill You Myself



"I'm not sure. Maybe a few days if my brother comes alone? Or maybe weeks if they come with a massive force this time."

Even Luna didn't know just how long it could actually take since she couldn't read her brother's mind. Even if she could, it was still hard since her brother was really unpredictable and changed his mind quite often about his strategies.

"So we basically know nothing," Atlas frowned. This meant that they didn't know when they were going to be attacked or just how much their strength was going to be.

"I don't think we need to worry about it if her brother comes alone. As long as you're you, he won't be able to sense you. Just finding you alone should be impossible for him. He would most probably prepare an entire army, so it would be safe to assume that it'll take a few weeks. Or maybe I'm wrong, and he'll be here tomorrow."

Lilith tossed a guess as well. Since Castiel's arrival was sensed by them but not his return when Atlas was in the body, that meant they couldn't sense him as long as Atlas was in control. But that also raised a question. How did Luna find them?

She asked Luna directly. "How did you find us?"

"It wasn't easy to find him," Luna explained. " I went to the place where I sensed his energy. But as I followed that trail, it abruptly disappeared. I just kept moving in that direction, hoping to find him, until I arrived in this town. That's when I saw him standing on the balcony, but his aura was different, so I was confused."

"Next thing I knew, he was standing before me. It was good. I actually managed to find you. I didn't expect that."

"So I was right. You were just lucky." Lilith understood the entire situation, realizing what had happened.

"It's good then. It means your brother won't be able to find him either. That should give us some time to deal with the problem." She looked at Atlas. "We should finish what we were trying to do before they arrive."

"We should." Atlas agreed with Lilith. "It means we are on an even stricter time schedule than I thought."

"We should leave this city and probably travel through the routes where even luck can't lead to us," he added as he tried retreating. "I'll wake Lancaster."

"Even though I doubt that it'll keep us safe when the entire world is being overrun by them, it's still better for the time being." Lilith agreed with the plan, watching Atlas leave.

As Atlas stepped out of the room, only Luna and Lilith stayed behind, looking at each other. There was only silence in the room as both of them seemed to be thinking about something.

"Is your father still alive?" Lilith asked, breaking the silence.

"He's the reason my brother doesn't have the throne yet, but I doubt that will be the case for long. My father has been sick recently, and I have a feeling that he won't be there for long, which won't be good for anyone."

"You're right about that. Your brother is an impatient idiot. If he takes the Throne, he could create a lot of problems for everyone."

Atlas knocked on Lancaster's door, waking the man who had just fallen asleep. Lancaster woke up and opened the door, finding Atlas there.

"Get ready and meet me outside the hotel. We'll be leaving."

"At this time?" Lancaster incredulously looked at Atlas. It hadn't been long since he said that they would be resting here for the night, and now they had to leave. This didn't make sense. He wondered just what happened in the last few hours that made Atlas change his mind.

"Did something happen?"

"I'll tell you on the way. Get ready."

"Will your brother be able to sense you?" Lilith asked Luna as a precaution.

" I've taken precautions. No one can find me this time. They don't even know that I've left. That's why you don't see anyone after me," Luna explained. "This time, I came prepared."

"I hope so. Because if they get to us because of you, I'll be killing you with my own hands."

Lilith also left the room, followed by Luna. She met Atlas and Lancaster outside. Both of them seemed ready to leave as well.

Atlas went downstairs, surprising the receptionist who was expecting them to leave in the morning. Even though he was surprised to watch them leave now, he was also somewhat pleased as well. If they were actually leaving now, then it was really good for him. It meant they could get rid of them faster, which was precisely what he wanted.

Atlas placed the keys before the receptionist.

"Are you leaving, Sir?" The receptionist asked, feeling glee on the inside. He really hoped that the answer was yes.

"Yes. We are leaving." Atlas answered. He also flashed a smile, understanding why this man was asking the question. "You can rest easy now."

"I'll get your driver!" The receptionist rushed to wake up the driver, who was sleeping in one of their rooms. Just because they didn't want the driver to find out that truth through others and leave, they gave him a room in their hotel itself.

Atlas and his group left the place, waiting near the carriage for the driver to come.

The streets looked so empty in such darkness, with not a single person other than them there. The entire town was sleeping.

"Can anyone tell me now when we're leaving so soon? Also, who is this woman?" Lancaster was the only one in the group who didn't know about Luna or why she was here. He really hoped it wasn't something similar to the Yovana incident.

"She is Luna, and she is here to warn us of the troubles ahead."

Atlas told Lancaster the things he found out from Luna, telling him about the conflict in the past that led to the slumber of most of the Progenitors. He also talked about how that incident was probably going to happen again, but this time they couldn't go to Slumber. This time, they had to fight back if it came to that point.

"In essence, bad times are ahead, and we need to be one step ahead of them. That's why I want to achieve my goals before they get here and create an obstruction. There's just one more step to take... Just one more fragment to collect."

In the meantime, the driver also arrived, seemingly still a bit sleepy.

He respectfully greeted the guests. In the darkness, he didn't know that one of the people he was greeting was a Vampire.
