Percy POV
I snapped out of my dream once I saw my eyes. I couldn't help but think that they looked pretty cool but what am I now? Am I Vampire or am I dead. My vision was starting to return. I could see the outline of a woman and man talking. I looked up to see a light flashing in my eyes. I hissed in anger and covered my poor sensitive eyes. They burned with pain . One of the cons of being a Vampire, You can't look at bright lights the minute you get up. Actually I don't think you're supposed to even do that as a human. As I covered my eyes, I realized how hungry I was. My throat felt like sandpaper. I was so thirsty. I heard a woman's voice.
"Nikolai he's awake, grab a blood packet." I heard feet shuffling and next thing I knew, my head was being cradled by someone, I smelled something that smelled delicious and I heard the soft but firm voice of the woman who saved me.
"Drink." I opened my mouth and felt something warm and tasty going down my throat. It was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. It was so full of life. After I had finished drinking, I heard the click of a light turning off and I opened my eyes. My eyes met the same ones from before.
"Thank you" I said. I've never felt so alive before. I felt so powerful, like I could throw each camper three football fields and not even break a sweat. That thought made me smile. The beautiful woman smiled at me.
"You're welcome. May I ask you of your name?" She asked. I grinned, I felt something poking my lip but let it go.
"My name is Perseus." She smiled softly. Her smile is amazing, Even Undead are full of life I guess.
"Well Perseus, my name is Selene and you are in Castle Blood-Driver. The home of the Supreme Vampire Clan of the Age." She said. I regarded her curiously before I got up. I felt renewed from whatever she gave me.
"What did I just drink Selene?" I asked. She seemed nervous. Why would she be nervous?
"I gave you blood." I tilted my head. That makes sense after all I am a Vampire now. I shrugged and she sighed with relief. She stood up and put a hand on my shoulder.
"I must take you to my father; he wishes to speak to you. Strange things happened while you were out cold hero." I nodded and together we walked out of the infirmary after I waved goodbye to Nikolai. We walked into the keep of the castle. I gazed at it in awe. It was like a fairytale. Illustrious drapes and things you would only find in a place of royalty. The colors were primarily black, gold, silver and red. Other colors were moderate in use. Selene chuckled when she saw my face.
"Impressed?" she asked. I nodded. It was amazing, I felt so at home for some reason.
"Very impressed." She laughed and together we walked past the dining room. The table was huge and it was filled with different kinds of food and there was goblets filled with blood. It smelled delicious. My stomach grumbled and Selene stifled a giggle but I heard her anyway. I looked at my stomach with utmost betrayal.
"We'll eat after we talk to father. Something tells me you will get along with my brother just fine." She said with amusement in her voice. I smiled. Her voice sounded like music to my ears. I nodded and we walked past the dining room which by the way is huge into what appeared to be the doors to a throne room. The doors are ginormous and are crafted with obsidian. It looked downright amazing. Quite touching for a Vampire. Selene gave me a serious look.
"When we enter, bow to my father and await his command to stand. He will explain to you about what happened. One last thing, talk when you are called upon only." I nodded. He is the Lord of the Castle and he isn't exactly an irritating Olympian so I'll give him a bit of respect. That stung. Just thinking about the Olympians hurts. My happy smile returned to its depressing frown. Selene looked at me with concern.
"What's wrong Perseus?" She asked. I could sense the worry in her voice. Why does she care for me so much? I'm worthless. My family proved that point. I sighed.
"It's nothing Selene, bad memory was all it was." She nodded but I could tell she's still worried. She grabbed my hand, shocking me in a good way. She smiled a beautiful smile.
"Your one of us now, I'm here for you." My spirits lifted a bit as I looked into those yellow orange eyes. They spoke the truth. She opened the door and we both stepped in in perfect synchronization. My eyes landed in the middle of the throne. We were in a very fancy throne room with things from different time periods. I could recognize some Venetian artwork and things from the renaissance period. At the back the room was a man sitting upon a throne. He had neatly combed black hair and his eyes were the same as ours. He had golden royal armor and under it a very fancy red shirt. He looked like a king. He looked very bored. Next to him was another throne. Upon it was a beautiful woman. She had long glossy black hair and like us, had the same eyes. She looked a lot like Selene. The woman had a female version of the man's golden armor but instead of a red undershirt, she had a purple one. Her eyes had more kindness then the mans. I felt so out of place with my black ripped tee shirt. Selene gestured for me to go forward. I walked like a man with confidence should. I would not show fear. I walked toward the man and got on one knee and bowed. I kept my eyes on the floor and waited. I could feel the man analyzing me, looking for weakness.
"Rise." Said the man. I did as I was told and stood up straight and tall. For some reason I let some of my aura go wild. How the heck do I even know about aura? Anyway, a gust of wind could be felt and some of the candles fires were extinguished. The man and woman seemed impressed. So did Selene for that matter. The man eyed me curiously and I looked at him directly in the eye. Neither of us blinked. He nodded his approval.
"State your name newborn." He said. His voice was deep and reminded me of Kronos. My eyes narrowed.
"My name is Perseus." My voice echoed throughout the Throne room. The man seemed to be in a thinking position and the woman eyed me with wonder. Probably from my little display earlier.
"Do you know what you are newborn?" he asked. What did he mean? I'm a vampire right?
"Aren't I a Vampire sir?" I asked with genuine curiosity. The man bellowed with laughter and the woman smiled. What did I do? I turned to Selene with a questioning look but she smiled at me.
"No you are not just a Vampire newborn. You are something much more." Confusion was evident in my eyes. He must've noticed because he continued.
"Newborn, when a Vampire turns another person, it's usually just your average pitiful Vampire. They are classed as second born but you; no you are a Pure-Blooded Vampire. A Pure Blood is only made by another Pureblood or by our deity." A Pure-blood huh? So I am a special Vampire. But I wonder how the other Vampires were made.
"Out of curiosity my lord, how are there other kinds of Vampires then?" I asked. He seemed to ponder my question.
"Your questions will be answered by Selene newborn, I have a meeting with another clan in three days' time. I must prepare for their arrival. Selene will educate you in our history and diet now leave my sight." Wow he's an arrogant guy isn't he? I bowed once more and before I walked out, the lady walked toward me. She smiled.
"Welcome Newborn, I am Leah and the man over there is my husband Tiberius. We are the Lord and Lady of this Castle. I must be off; I wished to only have informed you on who we are. We shall see you at dinner." She said, she began to walk away but then she turned around to face Selene.
"Selene my dear, get him out of those rags. He is a pure blood, not a mongrel." I was slightly offended and Selene sighed before nodding. She took my hand, effectively shocking me and was dragging me somewhere. We walked through the Keep once more and stopped at a wooden door filled with intricate forest designs. Selene knocked twice and the door opened to reveal a stunning woman with light brown hair and orange eyes. She smiled happily and hugged Selene. Then she noticed me. She started to blush. Why is she blushing? Selene seemed to get annoyed by her staring.
"Aurora stop ogling the man and get him some new clothes." I blushed and Aurora dragged us in. she pushed Selene into a chair and made me stand up. She analyzed me with a critical eye.
"I'm giving you modern and old clothes but first, Selene does he have a room?" Selene nodded and I raised my eyebrow curiously. She smirked.
"I got one for you while you were knocked out." I nodded and I resumed my test with Aurora. By the time it ended, there were a lot of laughs, accidents and one painful bite on my shoulder. As I left with Selene I was wearing a long, two tailed coat with an upturned collar and long sleeves with black cuffs and a black chest plate. The coat itself was black as night with dark green trimming and had zippers on the sleeves and buckles around the waist. Under the black armor I had a black t-shirt with a trident design. Apparently black and red is a Vampires friend. I had some black pants and some dress shoes. i rubbed my shoulder painfully.
"Why did she bite me?" I asked. She shrugged and looked at my clothes approvingly.
"I feel bad for you." She said.
"Why?" She grinned at me devilishly and I gulped.
"I feel bad for you because when the other Vampiress see you, they won't be able to keep their hands off you." I groaned and she laughed at my discomfort. Her laugh is infectious. I started to laugh as we walked toward my chambers. Maybe life will get better for me.
