Summary of the previous episodes:
Viorel has been tortured by his
supposed family who wanted to have him burn in the sun. Strangely
enough the sun didn't burn him as expected but Viorel has no memory of
who he is. Following the advises of his supposed father, he left
Sighișoara and is now traveling to the West. After some skirmish in a
previous city, he found refuge on a boat. Viorel is now in Vienna. The
little problem is that the guy at the inn was a bit of an asshole
and helped capture Viorel thinking he was a vampire, which he is but
nobody needs to know. Now there is a huge man (which I call the colossi)
taking care of Viorel and a priest. They brought a girl. Torture my
holy water... Fail. Viorel managed to confuse everyone, now he would
like to get out of here. But the girl seems pretty useless. They still
managed to escape and he left the girl to the care of the boat lady
before going back to have two words with his captors but his power of
persuasion were failing him. The priest wanted to crack a
deal but Viorel is not really up to help his enemies. He finally got
some blood but he can't risk to stay in Vienna. He travel to Linz were
he stays a bit to learn German.
Viorel wanted to go to Praha but redirect himself toward Augsburg
instead where he wants to get a horse, except that the horses are a bit
scared of his vampirism and maybe something else. Viorel is really not a
horse expert. Then he comes into an altercation with couple of people,
he wants some fear in his blood. The girl Viorel has found seemed to
enjoy the game. Viorel prepares for the nightmares that come with a
feast of blood, in a rush to leave, he cross the dukedom of Lorrain.
We introduced Sorina, three weeks after the beginning of Viorel's escape.
Viorel dreamed of Sorina and woke up not really remembering anything.
Traveling to Paris, he arrives at "La cour des miracles". He is rescued
by a stranger who turned out to be Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist he was
looking for. Nicolas does some strange experiment without Viorel's
agreement. Some people are looking for Nicolas's secrets.
On the other side of Europe, Sorina awakes and Viorel's past in haunting him.
Now, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left of last week.
I
was hard to explain and hard to understand that once I was filled
with blood I wasn’t really myself anymore. I looked at the food on
the table but it wasn’t appealing at all. I wanted more blood, just
like every time I had some but I knew that my inability to cover up
for last night hunt was now going to play against me. Nicolas
wouldn’t let me go out to feed tonight again. I was stuck here. I
didn’t answer, there was nothing I could say to defend myself. I
went out, drunk and killed the poor guy and that still made me happy.
All my senses were awaken, I was feeling truly myself and on the top
of that I had a better memory of Sorina now.
“They
found them already, you didn’t hid them at all, and how could you
kill them all so quickly?” he said.
“Them?”
I asked puzzled.
I
had only taken the life of one guy, only one. There couldn’t be
more. I remembered that we went out and I had woken up in my bed
after looking at the fire but that was the only time I had fainted.
The hunt, I remembered it all.
“Three
men, in different part of time, is it what you mean when you said
that you wouldn’t leave tracks?” Nicolas said.
Perenelle
put a hand on his arm to appease him but he pushed her away and
leaned forward on the table to look at me. It was a secondary effect
of the stone, the younger Nicolas wasn’t like the old at all, he
was choleric and cold and self sufficient. I wondered why Perenelle
had married a guy like him back in the days. All that mattered to him
was he research, he had given himself a second life but instead of
living it, he was back on the research again, using me as his excuse.
I
took the newspaper from him across the table. There was no need for
discussion. Reading Czech was really hard for me and it took me some
times to find the article. Nicolas had learned the language like it
was nothing and that was disturbing me a little. All that was
bothering me, I was starting to feel jealous of him, after all I was
older than him, much much older there must have been something that I
had learned that he didn’t know, or had I wasted hundreds of years
just because I had eternity in front of me. I finally found it. Three
body had been discovered in different part of town. One far north
near the river, one in the Jewish quarter and one that I knew of for
being the one leaving it in the street.
