Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart 289

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 time.

 

“We still need rooms,” I answered. I wanted to push the though in his mind but after fourteen days without blood, the effects of it had had been fainting a lot. Hopefully it wasn’t necessary.

“As you wish,” the man answered taking a book from behind the counter, “What name is it?” He asked. I hadn’t thought about a fake name but I knew I couldn’t give my own.

“Cosmin,” I answered. It was a sort of joke I supposed but it was the only name coming to my mind. If anyone was to ask for a vampire they would be told that Cosmin were here, so far so good except that the man didn’t seem to know how to spell it and spend a long time staring at me and at the notebook. He finally wrote Abcd and turned around to pick up some keys.

“I’m alone here, my wife and children left to her mother, though it won’t run smoothly you’ll have to be patient, I’ll send a letter for her to come back,” he said handing me three rusty keys, “How long are you staying?”

“About two weeks,” I said. If the only problem around here was dragon I could have stayed forever just the idea seemed ridiculous. Irina was still clinging at me as if her life depended on it. I knew she was going to argue the stay as soon as she would be in her room.

The little man left behind the counter and walked toward the black wooden door at the end of the room. The room was large and I could see by the dust on some of the tables that the business had been slow for a while. Still, he didn’t seem too happy to see us stay here. I was sure I wasn’t going to be killed by a dragon but I wondered why he seemed so afraid of it. The door grinned as he opened it and the corridor leading to the stairs was dark. He pressed on one of the door, this is your third room. It was the one I intended to give to Alexej and something in my felt releaved to see that he would be staying at the bottom of the stairs. If there was trouble, he would be the first one alerted and I could count on his lack of discretion to wake me up. I left the key in the locker and the door open mentioning to the little man that a third one would be coming in later on and was taking care of the horses. The man didn’t seem too pleased about the horses staying here and let me know that it was forbidden to let the horses go outside. A detail I would have to convince Alexej about later on. We proceed toward to the stairs. It was dark and I left Irina go first after the little man. She wasn’t really sure where to put her feet and I was ready to catch her in case she missed. But the stairs weren’t so long and we arrived on the first floor faster than expected. Here again there were no candles to lit the corridor. It was obvious that the inn didn’t have much clients in the recent weeks. I wonder if Alexej knew and had done it on purpose or if it was due to the dragons. The idea still seemed ridiculous.
