Title: Soulless
Spoilers: Season five and references to the other seasons.
Author: HyaHya
Rating: T (possibly for paranoia's sake)
Genre(s): Uuuggghhhhh not that angsty but a little? Horror definitely though.
Warnings: World domination? Massacres? I'm not entirely sure yet but I'll put warnings on the chapters that need them.
Synopsis: The Chosen One was half human. It was a sham. It answered a lot of questions and posed a few of its own. The Grand High Council find a way to *cure* Vlad of his human half but what follows is a lot more than they could've bargained for.
Disclaimer: If I owned the show you'd know; I'd be abusing my power and avoiding dumb plot twists like the Chosen One being half human.
A/N: This is my take on season five, well not exactly; it won't follow the show it's just nabbing a plot point. It will be short as my current priority is Your Argentalium Bones. I'm going to try and power out chapters best I can but I would be very happy if I received reviews… *wink wink*
Welcome to Soulless.
Prologue
It was disgusting.
Valtov had known Count Dracula was a sucker for the pleasures of the fresh, he had never expected this however. The irresponsible Count had forced the impurities of a human on a vampire, who'd turned out to be the Chosen One. Disgusting.
Normally if a vampire had produced an abomination such as that then it would be killed immediately to avoid the genes being further diluted. But killing the Chosen One wasn't an option which left Valtov in a rather irritating situation.
He was left trying to find a cure. He scowled dropping the book he'd been flicking through. He'd been reading a volume on biological differences between vampires and humans. He knew the benefits that vampires held over mortals but it was imperative to remove the element that allowed their emotions to control them.
The Chosen One was a failure but now it was obvious this was through no fault of his own; his heritage had destroyed his vampiric personality and he was bound by silly moral principles and Valtov was determined to fix this.
He was broken out of his musings when there was a knock at the door to his chambers.
"Enter."
A tall animal skin clad woman with unnaturally bright yellow eyes strode in.
"Maja-Keht." Valtov greeted, Maja-Keht gave a confident smile in response and sat herself in the chair opposite his by the fireplace.
The mystic adjusted her brown hair slightly tiding up the elegant knot on her head before speaking. "Why do my services interest you? I thought vampires had their own magicks." Her voice was exotic and overflowing with magic.
Valtov was sure this was the right decision.
He served her a glass of wine before sitting back in his seat. "You can assist me where vampire mystics can't." Maja-Keht leaned closer in her seat, her amber eyes glittering with interest.
"Go on."
Valtov clenched his jaw slightly knowing how shameful their situation was.
"There is a half-vampire of extreme power, we need to fix the 'half' part." The sorceress frowned at him for a second before a small smile graced her lips.
"Is this half vampire your Chosen One by any chance?"
Valtov's hand shot out and snagged Maja-Keht's throat. There was a burst of energy that left Valtov on the floor and the mystic's heel on his chest.
"You need not worry that I know this," She told him, the pointy tip of her heel digging into his heart. "Little does gets by me and I do not intend to abuse this knowledge." She removed her foot and started to allow him to get up.
"But cross me!" Her boot slammed into his chest again, forcing him down. "And I will tell everyone who is willing to listen of your species' shame."
Eventually Valtov was allowed back up and they continued their conversation like their fight hadn't even happened. "Is there any cure for the vampire's condition?" He asked scrutinising the sorceress carefully.
Maja-Keht smiled. "Sure. I can help you but you can do me a favour in return." Valtov nodded earnestly. "I remove his human genes, he does a job for me and I finish the process."
Valtov's eyes narrowed. "Finish the process?"
Maja-Keht gave a smirk. "If I turn him into a full vampire he'll be completely vampire physically but unless I finish it then he'll have a human soul, which I'm guessing is your biggest problem."
The council and the sorceress eyed each other carefully for a minute.
"Fine." Valtov thrust out a pale hand.
"I'll get right on your vampire problem." Maja-Keht said contently as their joined palms glowed blue.
Who on earth thought it was a great idea to have a plot twist of Vlad being half human? It's the dumbest plot twist ever, especially considering the fact that Magda (definitely vampire) is his mother!
Please tell me your opinion on this plot twist so I can have a rant buddy!
