Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart 276

Welcome to a new part of Vampire Heart unedited. Have you been bitten yet? Sign up to be part of our awesome Vampire Friday blog hop team! You know you want to!

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. Viorel discovered that he can change into a wolf but that's not the easiest thing to handle. After finding out that a younger version of Nicolas might not be acting with his best interest at heart, Viorel decides to leave for the north. He is now traveling with two people, Alexej who needed to get out of Praha and Irina who he accidentally rescued.

Now, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left off last week.

“What are you waiting for?” Alexej asked. Irina was already sitting in the carriage with her cat on her laps trying to make the poor animal lay down while it wanted to have a taste of the warm food she had brought with her.

“Nothing,” I reply sitting in the carriage.

I had barely time to close the door that Alexej was already driving the carriage out of the village with good speed.

Through the window, the wood around the village were deep and dark. I could imagine why the villagers were scared of any wild animal coming out and had checked the carriage.

“So do you want me to tell you about the things you made me read,” Irina said.

“Don’t you want to go to church?” I answered.

Irina looked outside with guild on her face, I had seen that expression on Sorina’s face before. I knew that it was what their god did to human. “I feel bad for not going, really, really bad but I know that if I go, I will feel even worth, I want to go there to get absolution for having been bitten by you and at the same time I want you to bite me again. I feel helpless when I think about the church and I don’t know what I should do. I think everything will be better when we arrive and I can go to a real church…” she sighed deeply as if she had been carrying a heavy burden in her chest.

“What do you mean, go to a real church?” I asked.

“The church is not the same everywhere, we are Christian but believes differ a lot. My mum always wanted to go to church, no matter where she said that gods house is always gods house and that he will listen but I never liked what they said in the catholic church in Praha, they were so hard and you couldn’t really cry, nobody cried, they all had extremely tensed face, especially when praying, as if it needed to be painful. When I cried the first time, they looked at me as if I was crazy, so I stopped. I need to cry in church it is my way to feel god entering me, I need to pray until I can’t feel anything anymore and everything is released out of me with my tears. My tears are the sorrow and joy that god is taking away from me to make me feel good and myself again.”
I didn’t understand what she meant and I didn’t ask more. She seems to be so tormented, as if she was going to start crying now and I wasn’t sure that I could handle it even if she had said it made her feel better. I couldn’t never handle it when Sorina cried.
