For a few days, Jack has been sailing on the cargo ship. He survived by eating the garbage the sailors left behind and a few rats unlucky enough . The cargo hold was a good place to hide during the sail. The sailors do not even bother checking on the cargoes, they go on with playing poker or sleeping in their bunks.
Knowing that there are only a few hours to go before land, Jack tries to go to sleep. He began to dream of his childhood.
Ice, cold water splashed on Jack's face, forcing him awake and screaming.
"Wake up, son!" Jack turned to see his father. Jack's father was holding onto a bucket. He was somewhat muscular and a bit hairy.
"We've got work to do. Now let's go!" yelled the black-haired man. Jack instantly jumped out of bed and ran to change.
"No time to change. Just get your damn shoes. We have shit to do." Quickly, he threw on his shoes, ran out the door, through the dining room and through another door that went out of the house. Jack turned around and saw his dad exit the house.
"Now then," said the father as he tossed Jack two buckets, "I want you to go and get me two buckets full of water from the well." Jack looked at his father with disbelief.
"But we have water in our house already." Jack's father stared coldly into his son's eyes.
"Get me some water from the well now!" yell the father. In an instant, Jack grabbed the buckets and ran through the woods. The man then went and sat on the porch. He check the time on his watch.
Jack came back jogging. The water splashed inside, but Jack was careful to not let any out. Jack's father got up as he saw his son come out of woods.
"It took you an hour and a half to get water," said Jack's father.
"Well, how can you find a well in these goddamn woods!" yelled Jack. Before realizing what he said, Jack's father slapped him across the face.
"Don't you dare swear, I will hit you even harder if you do that again!" yelled the father. "And the same goes for excuses, now get inside." Obediently, Jack went inside the house.
It was sun down and Jack was sword fighting with his father. Jack was wielding a short sword while his father was wielding the family's long sword. He made a swing at his father, but was blocked and kicked in the stomach.
"Don't try to wound me, vampires will kill you if you fight like that," said Jack's father. After getting back on his feet Jack charged at his father, but his father tripped him, and Jack fall on his face.
"I've been training you for the past few months and you're still stupid enough to charge at me." The man marches up to Jack. Preparing for a kick, Jack covered his stomach.
"The sun is almost down, time to go home." Jack looked up at his father in disbelief. His father started to walk away.
"Come on, it's time to go." Slowly and painfully, Jack got to his feet. Without hesitating, Jack ran after his father. It took about ten minutes to get to the house.
"Your mother made us dinner, go and help her serve us," said the father.
"…okay." Jack quickly walked into the house. The man sat on the porch, took out a cigarette and lit it. Taking a few puffs, the man sighed and took the cigarette out of his mouth.
"What is your business, vampires?" Two figures emerge from the trees. The two had huge, disgusting grins. One had red-hair while the other had black-hair. Both wore the same black suit, but each had a white glove on opposite hands.
"We came to meet the famous Bellator family and you know…see if you are the real deal," said the black-hair vampire. The man took a puff from his cigarette.
"How real can I get, I'm standing here. What else do you need, vampires?" retorted the man.
"You know what we mean, we want to fucking fight you!" yelled the red-hair. The remark amused the man.
"All the vampires we have met fear the Bellator family. But all your family ever done was killed weak vampires, never any strong vampires like us," said the black-hair. The man rolled his eyes at the vampires.
"We're going to prove that the Bellator family is a fa—"
The man interrupted the red-hair, "One question, what's with the same suit and the gloves being on opposite hand? Are you two fags?"
"The fuck?!" yelled the two vampires.
"We're brothers, you know," said the black-hair. The man looked at the two unconvinced.
"Right, you're brothers and I'm fucking Abraham Van Helsing. If you guys are brothers, then you are the fucking ugliest sibling I have ever seen and I've seen a lot of ugly shit." The two vampires growled at the man.
"That's it, you fucking fool. We're going to cut you into little piece."
The man took a puff and flicked the cigarette at the red-hair. The vampire caught the cigarette and ate it. The man took a long, baffled look at the vampire, and then turned his head.
"Jack, get your ass out here." Jack almost ran out of the house, but stopped at the door and tried to turn. Jack's father immediately caught Jack's collar and dragged him to the yard.
"Take care of these two vampires, no, take care of these two shits!" yelled the father
"I could die, dad!" responded Jack. Jack's father took out his long sword and gave it to Jack.
"You're a Bellator, Jack. We've fought much worse than these shits. Now I expect you to be done fighting before dinner," said the man. The vampires and Jack stared at the father in disbelief.
"You're fucking mad, sending your own child into battle, dumb fuck!" yelled the black-hair. Jack's father looked at the vampire and grinned at him.
"Have fun, boy." The father walked into the house and slammed the door. All three looked at each other in disbelief. The red-hair broke the silence.
"Let's kill the little fuck now!" The red-hair lunged at Jack, but only scratched the right side of Jack's face as Jack moved out of the way. Jack instantly thrust his sword into the vampire's chest, who shrieked and turned to dust. The black-hair was shocked, but soon was filled of rage.
"You little fuck, I'll fucking kill you!" He charged and tried to use his claws to slash Jack. Jack barely dodged the slashes and finally brought the sword onto the vampire's arms. The vampire screamed in agony and kicked Jack. The force sent Jack flying off the porch and onto the ground.
"Ha ha! I don't need my hands to kill, I'll just eat you!" The vampire made a leap to Jack, but the boy put up the sword and it went through the stomach of the vampire. The vampire snarled and tried to bite Jack's face. Instantly, Jack pushed the vampire up and then to the side, pulling the sword as he pushed.
"Fuck!" screamed the vampire. Jack jumped to his feet, walked to the vampire and stabbed him in the heart. The vampire then turned to dust. Blood flowed down the right side of Jack's face.
"That was a decent work, son." Jack turned around and made eye contact with his father.
"You still stabbed one of the vampires in the stomach, should have went for the heart in the beginning." Jack was about to speak but was stopped by his father. The man looked thoroughly at Jack.
"You did good, son. You've sent your first vampires to hell. However, you should not have gotten that claw mark…you're better than that. But I'll go over this fight tomorrow. Go see your mom before you eat dinner, okay?" Jack nodded and ran inside.
Jack woke up. He began to run his finger through the claw mark. A footstep made Jack stop.
"You see the eclipse, don't ya John?" Jack hide in the shadows as two sailors talked to each other.
"Aye. It's funny, mate, that the sun is the largest and brightest thing around, yet it is blocked by a wee, little rock in the sky."
"What?! The moon only blocks out a small portion of the Earth. It seems like the moon blocks out the sun because of the distance we are from the sun. You get it now, John?"
"Oh….I guess now I do, mate." The sailors turned their gaze back out of the boat.
"Hey look, it's London Bridge."
"Didn't a few years ago a warship collided with it?
"Yeah, it was one of the British ships and-WHO THE HELL IS THAT?!" Jack sprinted past the two sailors to the front of the ship and leaped onto the bridge. Grabbing the top ledge, Jack pulled himself up. The sailors stopped near the front and gazed in confusion.
"How the hell can a person do that?"
"I dunno, mate, but it scares me to know that there are people that can do that."
Jack got over the ledge and onto the sidewalk. He turned, but ran into a young petite woman. She wore a blue tank top with black pants and red shoes. The wavy brown hair and the beauty this woman was exerting astonished Jack.
"You could stare at me all day or we can go and see him." Jack snapped back into reality and reached for his sword. The woman smiled.
"I'm not here to kill you or else I would have attacked you in the cargo hold." Hesitant, Jack nodded his head.
"Hey, let's go. Also, don't try to grab my ass."
"I won't touch a vampire, especially in that way!"
"Good! Now let's go!" The vampire took off running with Jack right behind her. Jack was about to ask her why she is running around now, but realized that the sun is eclipse by the moon.
The vampire and Jack ran for almost a half hour when they reached a small building. She slowed down and walked into the building; Jack doing the same. They went into a room and a door was in the floor. She opened the door revealing a stairway into another level of the building.
"He's down there, don't be too long." The vampire smiled at Jack. Coldly staring at her, Jack swiftly stabbed her through the heart. He took the sword out quick and ran downstairs. Running straight through the hall, Jack stopped at the end of the hallway and looked around for another way.
"Well, hello there young Bellator. This is the first time I get to meet you" Jack turned toward the voice and saw a dimly lit pathway to a male-being in a black suit sitting on a throne made from worms. He had a black ponytail and a goatee.
"Let me introduce myself, young Bellator. I am—"
"I don't care for you name, vampire, get ready to—"
"But you should care boy. After all a servant should know his master's name."
"What?!" Jack charged at the being and sliced the head off. The head flew a few feet away from the body and the body fell to its knee then to flat onto the floor. Turning around Jack stopped in horror as he saw the woman vampire still alive.
"Turn around and listen to our master."
"Why are you not dust?"
"Because our master still lives"
Jack turned around. A swarm of worms connect the head to the body. The head and body are soon one again and the being stretched his neck out. The left over worms fell down his body, crawled together, and reformed the throne.
"Vos damno bardus puer! Damno fossor!" The being calmed down and continue from earlier
"I am The Worm, and for my human name I cast it away. Jack…you've been sold into my servitude before you were born." Jack was bewilder, how he could be a servant to a vampire.
"You're patris exchanged your life for his life."
"Wh...what?"
"He was supposed to take care of you until you were ready to serve to me."
"Wait, wait, wait. Your plan will not work. How are you going to turn me into a vampire? You'll just me into a ghoul."
"Yes I would, that is why I created her." Jack glimpsed at the woman vampire.
"She was originally a human, but I was able to transfer some of my familiars into her, making her a part of me."
"Impossible…you're lying about her."
"Then why is she still here. She can only die when I die and no humanus can kill me!" The vampire stepped closer to Jack.
"You are either going to become my servant by choice or by force."
Fear built up in Jack as he tried to figure out a way to get out of this situation. Panicking, Jack charged at The Worm and got kicked across the face by the female vampire. Jack flew to the side and hit the wall with his shoulder. The worms formed around The Worm as Jack looked back up. The worms then formed in two dragon-like familiars and the familiars all snapped at Jack. The Worm showed a cynical smile and launched the familiars at Jack. Jack then jumped out of the way and ran for the stairway. The female vampire tried to stop him but was sliced across the chest as Jack ran back the way he came in. Jack made it to the stairway and sprinted out the open door. The Worm looked in dismay as Jack escaped.
"You left the door open!"
"Hey, I didn't think he would be that much of a pussy."
"You left the door open! You were not supposed to leave it open, but to close it and lock it so he would not have gotten out! And where the hell are the others? Damno vacuus idiots!"
"They're out recruiting. Master, he would have been a weak vampire. Why did you choose such a coward?"
"Dulcis, the Bellators are a unique family. They have been a very powerful vampire hunting family since the Catholic Church anointed their Surname. When I first turned into a vampire, the vampires raided Rome. We entered the templum to kill the Pope and conquer Rome. But three knights and four archers challenged us. Thousands of vampire descended upon them, but all were destroyed. Our leader took out half of the men, but was confronted by a Bellator. He was the first Bellator to be anointed. They fought and our leader fell to the humanus. After a couple of generations, the Bellator family were banished to hell by the Pope at the time. I want them to be by our side as we destroy the world that God gave us."
"Oh…well, this Bellator is weak though."
"Be quiet. Go and get him back!"
"Right!" The vampire ran off.
Struggling along the streets, Jack tried to find a safe place to stay, his shoulder dislocated from being thrown against the wall. He crossed the street. Cars stopped and honked at him as he walked into a park.
The park was very large and seemed to stretched out for a mile. As he came to some trees, he stopped. Ghouls were heading toward him.
"Uh shit!" Jack drew his sword with his only useful hand. A skinny, pale vampire appeared from the trees. The hair was purple and he had only jeans on.
"Fresh meat!" The vampire charged at the hunter and in an instant the vampire's head was slashed off. Jack was relieved, but his relief turned into horror as he saw that ghouls still moving toward him.
"How…are they still moving." The ghouls have surrounded Jack and then attacked him. Jack stabbed one through the heart, kicked another away from him, twists and slice three ghouls in half, and makes a quick thrust at one of the ghouls.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit!" A ghoul managed to shoot Jack's leg and Jack stumbled onto the ground. In desperation, Jack went berserk and swung everywhere around him to keep the ghouls away. One ghoul approached Jack at the foot, but Jack saw the ghoul and frantically kicked him with his unwounded leg. Finally, Jack sat up, stabbed the ghoul through the head, and got up as quick as he can.
"AH! What the hell!" There was still many ghouls surrounding Jack, they were waiting for one of them to start the assault again. Jack put his weight on the unwounded leg. His shoulder was wearing him down, he felt as if he is about to collapse. A section of the ghouls then charged at Jack. He readied his swing when a row of ghouls received a hole through their chest and turned to dust.
"Take care of the human, Police Girl, while I have my fun with the ghouls."
"Yes, master." Jack turned around to see a tall man in a red trench coat with an orange-circular-lenses sunglasses and a red hat. A woman was beside him she was up to the man's shoulders. She was blonde and wore a police like uniform, though the shirt is tighter and short shorts just as tight. The aura the man sent out made Jack recognized he is a vampire. Out of instincts and desperation, Jack lunged at the vampire. The vampire moved out of the way. Missing, Jack stumbled and then fell from the pain in his leg.
"They're not my ghouls if you're wondering. Now sleep." The vampire waved his hand in front of Jack, causing him to knock out. The two vampires proceeded in obliterating the ghouls.
The two took care of the ghouls and returned to make sure that Jack was well.
"What are we going to do with him, master?" The vampires looked at Jack and the male grinned.
"Let's take him to Integra. I'm sure she would like the company," smirked the vampire. The female was puzzled by the answer, but did not question her master. She put Jack onto her shoulder and followed her master.
From a building, Dulcis watched the two take Jack away.
"Shit, Alucard took him. Master is going to be fucking pissed about this." Dulcis then ran back to her master.
To be continued
More Notes: Basically, The Worm says "You Damn stupid boy! Damn fool!" "Damn useless fools" Humanus means humans, patris means father and templum means church. The worm was speaking Latin and I translated the sentences online. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
