A couple days later, at sundown, Lilith returned to the Manor. She removed her Emperor's Coven cloak and looked at Eda.
"I have warned the Emperor and the Coven of the impending attack. Is everything prepared?"
"Yep, I have everything ready."
"Hopefully it will be enough."
Alaric stood in front of a large painting, painted thousands of years ago. In his hands was a wine glass of blood.
"I will avenge you, father. Tomorrow night I will grow our army again. As the New Moon draws closer, I grow stronger. Perhaps I will go practice tonight."
He looks as the moon rising, prepared to hunt. He takes a drink from the glass and looks as the moon reached prime hunting position. He finishes his glass and runs to the outskirts of Bonesborough. Sure, it was very populated and almost a six hour run for a normal witch; but he was a vampire, it only took him a couple of minutes and it was the perfect place to scout for his new army. He saw two people walking and hid in one of their shadows.
"Can you believe there's giving a curfew? What is so bad that the entirety of the Isles needs to be inside at a certain time?"
"I don't know, Boscha, but we should hurry up. It's almost time for curfew. You know the punishment for that."
"Don't remind me, Skara. It's seen as treason, which can range from prison to petrification."
"That's a terrifying thought... Boscha? What's that?" Skara said looking at Boscha's shadow.
Boscha looked down and noticed her shadow had red eyes. Alaric rose from the shadow and looked at the frightened witches. She quickly bit down on Boscha's neck. Skara was about to run when Alaric grabbed her arm and bit down on her arm. The two of them feel immense pain and hold their wounds. He looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Have fun tomorrow night."
He ran from them and ended up back in the woods. Boscha and Skara ran to Boscha's house and looked at their bites.
"W-what was that?" Skara asked.
"I-I-I think it was a vampire." Boscha said.
"B-b-but he bit us! I don't want to be a vampire!"
Luz was running through the wood at full speed. Hunting has become like second nature to her. She smelt blood and new there was an injured animal close by. She ran and jumped onto a boulder then quickly pounced onto her prey. The wolf like creature didn't even see her coming until she was on it and bit down on its neck. It shortly stopped thrashing and Luz stood up. She licked the blood off her lips and ran off to find another animal. She was afraid of tomorrow night, what if she hurts someone? What if she kills someone?
