A/N: The Chapter Title is actually "Vampire of the Castle (5) - Eliade".

Short chapter~ Sorry!


* In the Graveyard. *

Baron Krory attacks Allen, who blocks the attack with Cross Alpha (monstrous adamantine claw). Baron Krory then kicks Allen across the jaw.

"UGH..." Allen groans as he dodges Baron Krory's next attack.
Such speed! Allen points out.
"KRORY! WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF EXTERMINATING YOU NOW! LISTEN..." Allen shouts as he continues to block Baron Krory's series of attacks.
"Stop whining!" Baron Krory scolded. "Are you scared by seeing your friend die?" He taunts.

Allen then steps back, dis-activating Cross Alpha.

He disengaged his weapon? Baron Krory thought.

"LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!" Allen shouted and Baron Krory stopped attacking. "All the villagers' corpses in that garden are Akuma. Did you know that? Arystar Krory, are you really a vampire?" He asked.
"A vampire...?" Baron Krory repeats as he disappears from Allen's vision.

Allen looks around, then looks towards where Lacie was standing.

"Lacie!" Allen calls as his eyes widens.

Behind Lacie was Baron Krory, who pulls Lacie's hair away from her neck and then biting her. Lacie gasps, but pushes herself away from Baron Krory. She distances herself away from where Baron Krory stood and breathes heavily as she covers her neck.

"Kukuku..." Baron Krory snickers. "I don't know about anything like 'Akuma'. I just like the thrill of the hunt." He answers Allen's question.

"LIFE IS TO BE SAVORED! ANYONE WOULD WANT TO LIVE FREELY, THEIR INSTINCTS UNFETTERED. LET SOMEONE ELSE TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE? MY APOLOGIES, BUT I MUST DECLINE!" Baron Krory says as he eyes Lacie. "So I kill. And I'll kill the two of you as well."

Baron Krory attacks Lacie and smashes her into the castle wall, higher from where Lavi crashed into. He then attacks Allen, smashing him into a tree.

"Hmph, already finished?" Baron Krory scoffed.

Lavi suddenly uses his Innocence to attack Baron Krory, making it a giant hammer. The same size he used when he first attacked Baron Krory.

"Peh!" Lavi stuck his tongue out. "Don't think you can fuck with me, bastard!" He cursed. "I'm a bit pissed. I think I'll bloody you up a bit before sitting down to talk!"
"Sounds like fun." Baron Krory mocked.
"Get up Allen! We're gonna beat this guy up a bit!" Lavi called as Allen tried to stand up.

They started to attack each other.


~ Meanwhile ~

* In the Castle. In the Hallways. *

Lacie woke up as she entered deeper into the castle, leaning on the wall for support.

"Ouch..." Lacie groaned in pain. "Ughhh... My head got hit hard..."

As she slowly walked along the wall, she could hear many noises coming from outside.

"Ugh... So noisy..." Lacie mumbled. "... I got to help them after a small break..."

Lacie then touched something on the wall and a secret door opened, she tumbled into the secret room.

"A... A hidden door...?" Lacie said as she stood up. "Where is this place...?"

Then Lacie heard moaning sounds.

"Wuuuu... Wuuuu... Wuuuuu..."

Lacie looked in front of her to see a shadow of something large, an unidentified creature. She then looked behind her, the way she entered into, but it closed shut. She then heard clicking sounds and she looked in front of her again to see the unidentified creature, but it disappeared.

"It's gone...?" Lacie asked.

Suddenly, Eliade appeared behind Lacie and smashed her against the bookshelf.

"Wha...!?" Lacie said.

"Oh my~ If it isn't that black-haired brat. I told Arystar to slaughter you. Really, what a bother..." Eliade said.

Lacie peered behind her shoulder to see Eliade and a bite mark on her lower neck. She also noticed that Eliade was breathing hard.

That wound...! Lacie thought as she was pushed against the shelf harder.

"Ow!" Lacie groaned in pain.

"Well... Fine. I'll dispose of you then. I did want to try it once anyways..." Eliade muttered as her face changed into a monster's face. "The taste of an Exorcists blood. Entering this castle... Will be your final regrets!"
