Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart 382

Welcome to a new part of Vampire Heart unedited. Have you been bitten yet? 

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.

 

I followed the smell. The Jägers once again seemed very sure of themselves. I didn't met anyone in the corridor. They had only sent three men to get me and nobody to come look for them yet. It was surprising and I wondered if they knew their men were dead and that I was inside. It might as well have been a trap. Hopefully, the barrier that kept me out earlier wasn't meant to keep me in.

I walked in the dark corridor blowing the candles as I went or more accurately beheading them with my sword. The sword felt a lot lighter than usual as well and I wasn't used to that sort of strength.

I had strange idea dancing in my head, images of the boy's life as a Jäger. It was interesting and confusing and I couldn't stop to analyze them now. They looked pretty much like hallucinations. It was hard to focus at time. I stopped in a large room and hid in the red curtains hanging near the window, intending to let it pass. Did they sent that boy on purpose to get me? I wondered why I hadn't smelled the poison in his blood. But that was not poison. My body was fine, it was just my head. And finally I saw it. The ritual and the dance to which he had participated. It was not something the Jägers would do. He wasn't one of them, that's why he had been asking all these questions. He came from another faith and they used herbs to put their spirit high. The herbs had lost their effect on him but it was my first time. I knew about these ceremonies. I needed to go through it to let the thoughts run. It wasn't the right moment or the right place. I closed my eyes and waited. There was no way to delay the effect of the herbs in my blood and even if I could delayed them, there was no way for me to know how long I would have to fight.
