Chapter 9
Feliciano and Ludwig got up as the dark figure walked into the castle. Ludwig held Feliciano close to him, "Who are you!? Why are you here!?" Ludwig shouted at the dark figure. "You will know my name soon enough, but hand me that boy right now! I need his soul and his powers to regain what I have lost from the war years ago." He said in a very thick Russian accent. Just then there was a huge bolder came crashing towards the dark figure and Lovino was standing there, hissing. "HOW DARE YOU COME HERE! I THOUGHT I KILL YOU!" He should. "Ludwig take Feliciano and keep him safe. Go now!" Lovino shouted. Ludwig nodded, "Gilbert go and protect Vatti." Ludwig said as he and Feliciano ran out of the castle. Gilbert ran upstairs towards his father's room to make sure nothing has happen to him. The dark figure grins, "High Elder Lovino, so you survived the hunters... good for you, now get out of my way. I need your brother's soul and powers so that I can be my full self." He said. "Not today Ivan, I knew something was up when I killed you. You did something before the battle a taboo. You kept your line alive by impregnating a human female and making sure that the line continues with a male child. That was smart." Lovino said as he grins and attacked Ivan again with some rocks, tossing him out of the castle. Ivan grins, "Thank you for letting me outside~~ Fool." He said as he vanished in the snow. "Fuck... Feli.. please be safe." Lovino said as he follows Ivan.
Meanwhile Ludwig and Feliciano were running their fastest through the woods, trying to find a safe place to rest. Suddenly a huge wall of ice came up, stopping them in their tracks. Ludwig turns around to find Ivan grinning, "I will not harm Feliciano. I will protect him with my life." Ludwig said as he pushes Feliciano behind him. "Oh really, do you know who this vampire is? He is the son of Luciano, the most powerful Earth vampire in the world. In this young vampire lies that power. But he hasn't master it for he was in a deep sleep. I couldn't get a hold of it for the coffin was seal shut by a sealing spell that only the one who will be his mate can open and awake him and I will have to thank you Ludwig for doing that, now give him to me." Ivan said as he held out his hand and a ice weapon formed. Ludwig frowns as Ivan, "Nein, I will not let you have Feliciano. I love him and I will die for him." Ludwig said. Feliciano whimpers behind Ludwig as he was scared. Just then a flock of bats came and dropped Ludwig's sword that he took from the armory at the Grand Castle. Ludwig picked it up and grins. "I will fight for Feliciano!" Ludwig cried out as he charged at Ivan, swing his sword at Ivan's weapon.
Ivan block Ludwig's attacked as he grins, but for Ludwig, he was grinning more as he swing his sword very hard and broke Ivan's weapon in half. Ivan's face was in shocked as he saw how strong this human was. "No.. impossible.. I will not let a human beat me! I will have his soul!" Ivan shouted as he shapes his broken weapon into a large sword and return the attack hard, making Ludwig defend for himself as it was making him hard to return attack. "Argh!" Ludwig cried out as he tripped backwards into the snow. Ivan grins as he raise his sword and stabbed Ludwig in the chest. "Argh!" "NO! LUDWIG!" Feliciano cried out as he ran towards him, holding him in his arms. "Ludwig.. no Ludwig.. please.. no.." He cried as he saw blood was coming out of Ludwig's wound. Ludwig looked at Feliciano as he tried to speak to him. "I.. I.. ack... I.. am.. s-sorry..." He coughs out. Feliciano cried out in pain, screaming loud. "NO! LUDIWG! LUDWIG!" He screamed out, making the ground rumble like an earthquake. Ivan steady himself as he saw something amazing. Feliciano's wings came out and were turning a dark purple and his eyes were glowing a dark purple as well. Feli stood up as the snow and dirt was rising around him. Feli lifted up his hands and let out a horrifying hiss as he cast the dirt and snow towards Ivan causing Ivan to fly backwards into a tree. "Ack.. w-what is this? This... this.. power... how is it.. possible.. you are just a young vampire- no... it can't be.." Ivan was now in great fear as he saw the image of Feli's father behind him. "no.. Luciano.. no.. no...NO!" Ivan screams in fear as Feliciano used his hidden power of reused powers of Ice against Ivan stabbing him with tons of icicles. "You kill my mate.. Ivan.. for that you will die and your line will end here." Feliciano said as he stabs Ivan in the heart with a very large Icicle and left him there. "Let the sun kill you." Feli said leaving Ivan there.
Calming down, Feliciano picked up Ludwig's body and carried him back to the castle crying as he walked. When they made it to the castle, everyone was waiting for them. Seeing Aldrich and Gilbert, Feli cried. "I am sorry.. he.. he.. died.. protecting me... I am so sorry.." he cried laying Ludwig's body down on the floor. Aldrich walked over to Feliciano, "You.. You don't need to be sorry, Feliciano. He protected you the best he did and open you up to kill that vampire." He said giving Feliciano a hug. Lovino walked over to his brother, "Fratello.. you.. you look so different.. you are no longer a young one.. but an elder.. Feli you can still save him. You can change him tonight and he will be with you forever." He said. Feliciano gasps as he remember what Ludwig said to him before the fight. "S-Si.. I need to take him to my room." Feliciano said as he picked up Ludwig's body and carried him to his room. Laying Ludwig on the bed, Feliciano removed Ludwig's clothes, got on top of him and bit him on the neck, draining all of all his blood. Feli then slit his wrist and let his blood enter Ludwig's mouth and onto his wound as well. Feli removes his wrist, licking it as he sat, waited to see what happens. Just then Ludwig let out a huge gasp for air as started to cry out in pain. Feliciano grabbed his wrists and held him down. "Ludwig.. Ludwig.. don't fight it.. let it consume your body.. don't fight.." He said as he saw that Ludwig clammed down and went into a deep sleep. Feliciano cried as he knew that his lover will be alright as he saw the wound was closing up slowly. "Night my love, I will see you when you wake up." Feli said as he put the covers onto Ludwig and lay beside him.
-four days later-
Four days has passed since the fight, Ivan's body turned to ash as the sun hit his body. Feliciano slept with Ludwig, hoping that Ludwig would wake up. Aldrich and Gilbert stay as well, waiting for Ludwig's awake. Lovino made sure that the fight didn't get any human attention, which it didn't. As they were waiting, Ludwig let out a groan as he open his eyes and looked around. He turn to see Feliciano asleep beside him. "F-Feli.." He said. Feliciano woke up and smiles, "Ludwig.. you are awake. Oh it work, it work." Feli said as he hugged Ludwig close. Ludwig let out a groan as Feli hugged him. "Feli.. what.. what happen. All I remember was being stabbed and looking at you then darkness. I heard your screams and cries in the darkness." He said. Feliciano started to cry, "You died, Ivan killed you. I got soo upset I unleashed my hidden powers and killed him. But I took you home and embrace you. I changed you to save you." Feliciano said as he smiles at Ludwig. Ludwig looked at Feliciano as he moves his hands to his mouth and felt his fangs. "I.. am.. a vampire?" "Si.. a handsome one~~" He said laughing. Ludwig smiles as he pulls Feliciano close and kisses him deep. "I love you Feliciano." "I love you too, Ludwig." He said.
Once Ludwig got dressed, he went down and meet his father and brother. Hugging them. "Vatti.. I have to stay here with Feliciano. But you are welcome to visit us-" "Ludwig.. they cannot." Lovino said. "Listen.. Ludwig they cannot see us or know about us. For once, you will be living here forever and everyone you know will be asking about you and what will your father will tell them. He cannot lie to them. I did the same for Ivan, I made it look like he went on a personal journey and died in a accident. That will happen to you as well. You got lost in a snow storm, fell of the cliff and died on impact. You died, you are no longer part of their world." Lovino said. Ludwig looked at his father and brother with sad eyes. "I.. I.. please I love them. He is my father and my brother..." "Ludwig, it will be alright, we will no longer remember what happen to you, just your death. I talked to Lovino about this while you were sleeping. It is alright." Aldrich said smiling. Ludwig nodded as he hugged his father close. "As for this place, I will make sure that no one will buy this or take it." Aldrich said as he and Gilbert said their goodbyes and left the castle, with Lovino fallowing them. Once they got into the jeep, Lovino removed their memories about the fight, Feliciano, himself, and put memories of Ludwig's death and they were returning his body back to Germany to be bury.
Ludwig watches his father and brother drove away from the castle window and started to cry as he will never see his father and brother ever again. Feliciano held Ludwig close as he know this will happen once Ludwig was turned. "Ludwig, it will be alright, listen. I will teach you ways to see them, ok. But now you should still rest, it take a lot out of a new vampire and you need to feed too." Feliciano said as he guide Ludwig to the bed, setting him down on the bed and reviling his neck. "Drink Ludwig, you need some of my blood to heal more." Feli said. Ludwig nodded as he sank his fangs into Feliciano's neck and started drink his blood. Feliciano raise his hand and place it upon Ludwig's head. "I am sorry Ludwig." He whispers as he removed his human life from his memories and put in new ones of him being a vampire from birth. Feli did this so that Ludwig will not be in pain anymore. Once he was done, Ludwig gasps as he shook his head, "Ugh... Feli w-what happen?" "You got into a horrible battle with a wild vampire and was nearly killed, but I saved you. Now, what should we do~~" Feliciano asks. Ludwig looked at Feli and grins as he pushes Feliciano down onto the bed and grins. "Maybe this." He said as he give his lover a kiss and chuckles, "I love you my mate." "I love you too, my mate."
