"You won't find him by normal means. Because of the dangerous nature of his career, you'll find him in what is called the Deep Web."
The Deep Web. Trixie has heard of it, as far as she was aware, it was a place filled with the most disturbing content the internet has to offer, it also didn't have a browser function, so if you wanted to go onto any specific sites, you needed the proper web address. Which thankfully Gerald wrote the address she needed to contact this Vampire Expert.
We find Trixie at her computer setting everything up, she not only needed the web address but Gerald had also recommended a webcam and a microphone, thankfully she had them, but setting them up took a while, she was also distracted a few times thinking about her actions towards those soldiers.
But soon everything was set up and she typed the address into the search engine. Within seconds she was taken to a blank website with a single icon in the middle saying 'Call. Webcam and Microphone is required.' She had those so she turned up her speakers and clicked call. Within a few seconds she heard a faint ringing sound as if she was on the phone or on Skype.
But soon a picture appeared revealing a mid forties man with short black hair, sideburns and a bit of fuzz on his chin, and wore a blue suit, he also had a stern look to him. "Hello? Can I help you?" the man asked.
"Yeah... I was told you specialise in Vampires."
"That is correct, my name is Victor Belmont. I specialise in studying, tracking, curing turned and hunting berserk Vampires. Can I ask what is ailing you?"
"It was about... I think three weeks ago. I was turned into one."
Victor began to examine her facial features. "Hm, yeah. Looks to be a slow transformation if it took three weeks. How have you been handling yourself?"
"Well I spent all but two days in my bed. And what do you mean by a slow transformation?"
"Vampirism doesn't happen instantly. It takes at least three days for all your blood cells to convert along with your entire body. If you have been stuck in one location with no access to blood, then needless to say the transformation was slowed down heavily. When did you first drink blood?"
"Two days ago, but it was a small amount."
"And have you experienced any emotional whiplashes, where you would just suddenly change emotions?"
"Yeah, sadness, laughter, excitement... anger... so much anger..."
"That makes sense. You see, what happens is that when you're in the turning stage, any activities both physically and mentally help your body adapt further unless you immediately get a cure. But because you've spent so long in bed doing nothing, the process went to a snail's pace. Consuming blood only recently accelerated the process so much your body couldn't handle it. And from what I can gather, your transformation is almost finished."
"Wait? There's more? What's left?"
"Try feeling your ears."
Trixie placed both her hands on her ears and to her shock, they didn't feel small or round, in fact that were long and pointed, almost poking out of her hair. "The hell?"
"In addition to your ears not fully growing, I can still see some baggage around your eyes. How about your teeth?" Trixie opened her mouth wide to show off her fangs. "Wow, those are fully grown already."
"So... how long do I have?"
"If you keep drinking blood at a consistent rate, you should finish your transformation in just a day or two. But how much have you drank?"
"Mostly just small vials... but last night... I..."
Victor blinked slowly. "You've killed someone, didn't you?"
"Y-Yeah... when he shot me, I just lost control. And... a hoard of men arrived and they all shot me... I killed them too. I feel horrible."
"You feel horrible?" Victor smirked. "So you're experiencing emotions more frequently."
Trixie leaned back up feeling surprised. "Y-Yeah..."
"It's bad you've killed people, but given the situation you included, I can imagine why. Your emotions went out of control and became all about survival, even if you couldn't feel the bullets, the knowledge of being attacked overwhelmed your emotions."
"I... guess. Um... but only one of them... I drained. The rest I just brutally murdered."
"I know it sounds inhumane. But you can't let that get to you, with that in mind you need to understand your potential. You've shown an example to yourself what happens when you lose control, you can't keep calling yourself a monster. Without a doubt, the most important thing to a turned Vampire is their humanity."
"My humanity?"
"Vampires are on the thin line between man and monster. If you continue to act like a monster, then you'll slowly lose your humanity forever. You feel guilty for killing, now you need to remember that killing is bad, to try and keep control of yourself, you must remember what makes you human."
"Ok, thank you so much Victor."
"You're quite welcome, now remember to keep drinking blood, I know it doesn't sound right, but going for so long without blood will just drive you insane. Try to find containers, or go hunting at night."
"But..."
"I know. But if you only drink a mouthful of blood from a random person, you'll do fine. They won't die and you'll stay sane."
"Any other suggestions?"
"You can feed off of animals if you think that'll be better, but human blood is more nutritious, and... well this one I only recommend until certain circumstances, but if you do happen to find a dead body, you can drain them, but it's something I can hardly recommend. Oh, I just remembered, you said you were turned, right?"
"Yeah..."
"Could I see your neck?"
Trixie realised what he was implying, and immediately leaned closer to the webcam and showed off her neck as Victor examined it.
"Hm... I see."
Trixie leaned back. "Lemme guess, a bite mark?"
"It was my assumption ,but I couldn't see one. Do you remember being bitten?"
"No, but I had a dream where I was being hunted by a large bat in a giant forest."
"I get it, the Vampire that got you must've only sunk their teeth in gently in order to infect you. With three weeks, it's no doubt it already recovered."
"Is there a cure for Vampirism?"
"Yes and no. The most obvious one is to kill the Vampire that turned you, but to create a genuine remedy, it's not as simple since it requires a lot of different mixtures, also depending on the blood type of the victim and the mixture of it with the Vampiric genetics."
"But... why would a Vampire turn me and just leave?"
"I can think of a few reasons. One reason could be because they wanted to take you away, but for some reason could only turn you. But it would beg the question as to why they never returned. Another reason could be because someone paid a Vampire to do it."
"Vampires can get paid to do that?"
"There are more Vampires than you think, in fact there are rules, monarchs and even locations for gatherings. Which brings me to my third and final reason, the Vampiric Convertors."
"Who?"
"A band of Vampires who wish to make them the dominant species of the world, by turning everyone. Of course this is illegal by the highest calibre. You'd be surprised how many regulations one must go through to be turned into one, turning someone illegally is punishable by death."
"...Damn. I never knew."
"Regardless of which, in order to track down the Vampire that turned you, it will require a lot of research. Something I can help you with, but I don't see too much of a point."
"Why?"
"Without a doubt, the Vampire that bit you did it illegally, I know this because you yourself, would have to have written a contract to say you agree to this. So odds are the Vampire will likely be killed soon and you'll change back by yourself."
"Hm... well... hope it's not soon."
Victor raised an eyebrow "Why?"
"Those men I killed. They're from Miliabolus."
Victor's eyes widened in shock. "Miliabolus!? You know about them? Did any of them survive?"
"Yeah, one got away. A guy in a purple suit, and I only know them because from what I can gather, I've got a target on me and for some reason, they think I'm sixteen when I'm fourteen."
Victor turned serious. "I'm sorry to say, but you're in serious trouble."
"Lemme guess. That one guy that got away is going to rat on me?"
"Yes, and believe me, they have extensive knowledge on Vampires. They know your weaknesses."
"Ok, but I'm weaker as a human so I have to hope I can stay as a Vampire until they're off my chest. What will kill me?"
"Ok, first one is sunlight, it burns you, but moonlight makes you stronger."
"I knew that one."
"Garlic acts like a poison. Silver burns your skin, but silver bullets will go through you, holy crosses act like shields, wooden stakes will paralyse you but make you vulnerable to anything else that can kill you. Fire will burn you faster. Last but not least, you CAN be beaten to death, but that's extremely difficult to pull off, you need the force of a bullet train at a consistent pace to do the job."
"Is that everything?"
"Magic will have a better effect on you, especially holy magic, but not even Miliabolus has access to that."
"Ok. So... if I'm going to prepare myself, I need to fully transform. How do I speed it up?"
"At the rate you're going, you should be ready by tomorrow or the next day, but drinking blood will speed it up."
"Ok, well I better prepare for this, thanks for your help Victor."
"My pleasure Miss..."
"Trixie Tang."
"My Pleasure Miss Tang. Now be careful, Miliabolus are not a force to be reckon with."
"Got it."
With that, Trixie closed the web page and let out a long winded sigh, she was thankful she got what she wanted, but now she knew Miliabolus would return with a way to kill her. She can only hope she stays as a Vampire until this is all over. "Hm... blood to speed up the process."
Trixie walked back into the main room where they saw the butlers and maids clearing up the mess, but the twenty bodies were still there. She walked up to the bodies and kneeled down. "Reckon daddy will get a bit surprised by this?"
"That is an understatement." Gerald responded. "Have you spoken to Victor?"
"Yeah, I've gotten everything I need to learn. But I also gotta prepare for Miliabolus returning."
"Sadly yes. No doubt they will not take this lightly."
"Not unless I strike first!"
"But how?"
"I'll find a way, trust me. But for now, we need to get everyone outta here, if these guys know about me being a Vampire, then they'll likely attack at sunrise when I'm vulnerable."
"V-Very well... but onto a more urgent manner, we're having a bit of trouble carrying these bodies, I'd rather not have to explain this to your father."
Trixie lifted one of the arms up and ripped off the sleeve. "I think I can help with that. Victor also said I need to drink more blood." With that, she sunk her teeth into the bare arm and began to drink the corpse's blood.
