A/N: I know it's been awhile since we've heard anything about our Vampire Prince , but now it's time to further his story and the Blood Harvest series .

Disclaimer: I do not own the Naturals in anyway . I do own Karliah , the name Blood Harvest , the research on vampires and werewolves , the Coven , Valor , and Undead Vampires , the Collector , and the story itself . I have several OCs and my own creatures that may appear in this story , if you want to use them that's fine , but please give credit.

Two Worlds

Prologue : Magic Users

Early In The Month - TNA Asylum

It had been a total of three months since anyone in the wrestling world , TNA included , had heard anything from the Naturals since they went after the Collector and had to deal with the Monk Order at the Northwatch Abbey . But , now ninety days later , after the two had sent Jeff Jarrett a message about needing a private meeting with him and Dixie Carter did the two with Karliah walk back into the Asylum right to the main office to give them an explanation for their absence .

" Are we prepared to do this ? " Chase asked .

" We need to , to leave our schedule open with trying to help the council and trying to find the artifacts tied to my heritage as the Vampire Prince . " Andy said .

" Are you sure this is safe for you ? " Karliah asked .

" Jarrett and Dixie are normally reliable , but I don ' t know how they will handle this new knowledge of me being a vampire . " Andy whispered as he knocked on the door to Dixie ' s office .

" Come in , " Dixie said as the three walked in seeing Dixie and Jeff waiting on them .

" About time you two showed up , but what ' s with your friend here ? " Jarrett asked .

" Karliah is apart of this , " Andy said calmly not wanting tempers to get out of hand .

" Okay , before you explain why you two have been gone for three months , why don ' t you say what you want ? " Dixie said .

The Naturals sat the NWA Tag Titles on Dixie ' s desk knowing that their duties in the hidden world would not allow them to defend the belts properly .

" You two are giving up the tag belts ? " Jarrett asked confused .

" We don ' t have much of a choice , " Chase said .

" What ? " Dixie asked .

" If we had known what was going to happen after the Six Sides of Steel match then we would have backed off then , but unfortunately things began to show itself after the match against AMW . " Andy said .

" What are you two talking about ? " Jarrett asked looking at Andy and then Chase .

" Just promise us you won ' t do anything , " Andy said .

" Won ' t do anything , Andy , what is going on ? " Jeff asked .

" I need your word , Jeff , as what I have to show you two could change the way you think of us , and I don ' t want what is inside of me affecting the way you see Chase down the road . " Andy said .

" Andy , you of all people should know that this business is a family and we don ' t turn our backs on family . " Jarrett said .

Andy looked at Chase wondering what his partner thought about all of this and if saying anything would turn out okay .

" It ' s up to you and I will have your back no matter what happens . " Chase said .

" Karliah , " Andy said .

" This is your call , " Karliah said .

" Okay , " Andy said standing up and backing away from everything in the room including windows before revealing himself as a vampire with leathery , bat-like wings , honey-golden eyes , and vampire fangs .

" Andy , " Jarrett looked at Dixie who looked dumbfounded at Douglas revealing himself as a vampire .

" I promise I ' m not dangerous to humans in anyway . " Andy said a little nervous at the silence .

" You found this out after the match against AMW ? " Jarrett asked .

" Yes , I first transformed the night after the Six Sides of Steel was over , not sure what was going on I went to Chase for help and then Karliah showed up revealing to me who I am . " Andy asked .

" Who you are ? " Jeff asked .

" The Vampire Prince , " Andy said .

" What ? " Dixie looked at Karliah .

" Once every a thousand years after the first vampires made an appearance on earth a Vampire Prince is revealed after the Ancestor Vampires left the world , two have come before , and now Andy Douglas is our third Vampire Prince ready to right the wrongs of the two worlds . " Karliah explained .

" Two worlds ? " Jarrett asked .

" Your world and the hidden world of my people . " Karliah said .

" Things are taking place that could hurt everyone and everything I care about and I need to be able to deal with stopping it without any distractions . " Andy said .

" And I ' m not letting my brother deal with this alone . " Chase said .

" Very well , what do you need from us ? " Jeff asked .

" Time away from wrestling and to keep my identity a secret for now , " Andy said .

" From everyone , " Dixie said .

" Some already know about me and those people I trust , but I ' m not sure how the rest of them will take it , " Andy said .

" We will keep your secret and take all of the time you need . " Jarrett said .

" Thank you , " Andy said before the three companions left .

" You didn't show them Spark , " Karliah said once they were back in the cover of the hidden world .

" I didn't want them getting a shock , " Chase said .

" No puns , " Andy chuckled .

" Whoops , " Chase said .

" Hoo , " Spark woke up from his nap in Chase ' s bag wandering out with a cookie eating it .

" Hey , buddy , " Chase said to the yellow ooze known as a fizz .

" Let ' s get back to Hawthorne City and help the Elder Council with going through the artifacts from the Northwatch Abbey , " Karliah said .

" Yeah , " Andy said as they left the area .

Underground Passage

" You sure the thing came in here ? " Tyson , the youngest son of Samuel ' s children asked a younger vampire next to him .

" I saw something come down here , but I ' m not sure what it was and I didn't want travelers to come wandering by and get attacked by something harmful . " The younger vampire said .

" Very well , we will check it out . " Lucas , the oldest of Samuel ' s children said .

" Thank you , " The vampire said as the brothers went in checking for whatever the younger vampire saw .

" Do you think this is something ? " Tyson asked his oldest brother .

" I don ' t know , but the kid seems shaken up by something and since it ' s this close to the estate , I would feel better about clearing things up . " Lucas said .

" If it ' s friendly ? " Tyson asked .

" We leave it , but if it could harm our family or travelers , we deal with it . " Lucas made it clear to Tyson .

" Okay ... " Tyson said as something moved to the far right .

" Did you see that ? " Lucas asked .

" Yeah , what does it smell like to you ? " Tyson asked .

" A lycan , " Lucas said as they moved closer to where the thing went .

" Don ' t hurt me , " A young , male lycan still in human form had his back to a wall , he was wet and looked ill .

" What are you doing in here ? " Tyson asked .

" Hiding , " The lycan said .

" From ? " Lucas asked .

" A warlock , " The lycan said .

" A warlock ? " Tyson asked .

" He ' s been manipulating people in the village west of here , using his magic to turn them into slaves and do his bidding not caring about right or wrong . If anyone dares to speak out or acts out he kills them instantly , when I woke up and found my friends dead I ran for help . " The lycan said .

" How long have you been under this warlock ' s spell ? " Lucas asked .

" I ' m not sure , I don ' t know how long it ' s been since I ' ve eaten either , I do know this warlock has been doing experiments on these people and he doesn't care who , vampires , lycans , humans , anyone he comes across he takes and he takes everyone in a family if he can . Some he experiments on to the point where family ends up fighting family and friends are divide because of magic manipulating their minds . When you wake up from the spells , if you wake up from the spells , you don ' t remember what happened while you were under the warlock ' s influence . " The lycan said .

" We need to get him to the infirmary at Hawthorne so he can be checked out , " Tyson said to his brother .

" Yeah , what ' s your name kid ? " Lucas asked the lycan .

" Oslow , " The lycan said .

" We will take you to Hawthorne City to get help from the Elder Council , " Lucas said .

" Thank you , " Oslow said .

Hawthorne City Castle - Council Chambers

Andy , Chase , Karliah , and Spark walked into the Council Chambers at Hawthorne Castle a few days later to see Deek speaking with Lucas and Tyson with a young lycan unknown to them .

" Who ? " Chase asked Karliah .

" A lycan , but he smells unfamiliar to me . " Karliah said .

" Vampire Prince , I see you ' ve returned , " Deek said .

" Yes , everything went well , " Andy said .

" Who is this ? " Karliah asked looking at the lycan who seemed shaken up .

" Oslow , he says a warlock has been casting spells on people , manipulating them into slaves used as experiments . " Tyson said .

" Was he ? " Andy asked .

" Seems like it , he doesn't remember anything from before he ' woke up ' as he puts it , he doesn't even remember the last time he ate , " Lucas said .

" So , what exactly is a warlock ? And do they have the power to do this ? " Andy asked .

" Warlock ' s are male sorcerers and those that are well trained can definitely manipulate someone into their services . " Deek said .

" Where do they fall in the Council ? " Andy asked .

" Most of them are ruled over by whatever race they belong to as warlocks can be human , lycan , or vampire , by what Oslow told us this one is human meaning he ' s suppose to be obeying the laws of the humans . " Deek explained .

" Are they evil ? " Chase asked .

" Not necessarily , some can be quite hospitable and helpful , I ' ve carried some with me onto the battlefield or even on rescue missions , as they have healing powers and can help when things get horrible . " Lucas said .

" But ... " Andy said .

" But , they can also use their powers for bad things like manipulating people using them for slaves and experiments . " Tyson said .

" Most magic users go to a type of school and they are taught to use their magic for good , but a few of them choose to leave to pursue ways to use their magic for their own good which includes ways to hurt people . " Deek explained .

" Are you okay ? " Karliah asked Oslow .

" A little rattled , " Oslow said .

" Do you know the name of the warlock who put the spell on you ? " Deek asked .

" No , not by name or face , he always wore a cloak with a face mask up . " Oslow said .

" We may be able to get in touch with magic school , but until then we need to be careful with moving to hastily . " Deek said .

" We can wait , " Lucas said .

" Dimitri was suppose to be back at the end of the month , so , we will have someone else to help us with this as well . " Andy said .

" We will send a message to magic school and wait on Dimitri before acting . " Deek agreed .

" Come on , Oslow , we will introduce you to some of the lycans in the area , that way you are with people who can care for you properly . " Tyson said as he and Lucas left with Oslow .

" Sounds nice , " Oslow said .

" So , is Oslow apart of a pack or what ? " Chase asked Deek .

" No , he ' s a lone wolf . " Deek said .

" Lone wolf ? " Chase asked .

" A lycan who prefers to live a solitary life , coming and going as he pleases as a nomad . " Karliah explained .

" I see , " Chase said .

" So , when do we get started on the artifacts from the Northwatch Abbey ? " Andy asked .

" As soon as Madam Victoria gets someone to aid us with any dangerous items , the staff of the Dark Priest was already tossed into the fiery furnace below the Castle and destroyed . But , the other artifacts could also harbor some harmful powers within , so , it ' s best to bring in an expert . " Deek explained .

" Then we will head back to the house , " Karliah said .

The House

In the weeks before they went to see Jarrett and Dixie , the Elder Council had given the Vampire Prince and his companions a house to use as a place to rest up from missions out in the world . This house allowed them to stay close enough to the Elder Council to help them , enough distance to get back to the Naturals ' s world if needed , and to go deal with their own missions as needed without having to answer too many questions .

" Well , things could be worse , " Chase said as they put their bags down including the bag of food that Stevens had just purchased for him and Spark .

" With you being the only one who needs to eat human food , the cost of food supply is remarkably low these days . " Andy said making Karliah chuckle .

" Hoo , " Spark said finding his way to his bed needing a nap .

" It ' s too early for a nap , buddy , " Chase said to Spark .

Spark turned over and yawned like he needed his rest .

" Chase , he ' s still a baby , but he ' s also getting ready to start into his adolescences , " Karliah said .

" So , he maybe getting to a mischief stage ? " Chase whispered .

" Yes , " Karliah said .

" I will pay attention , " Chase said .

" Sure , " Andy biting into a fresh blood pack drinking from it .

" What do you make of this warlock business , Karliah ? " Chase asked .

" He probably decided to strike out on his own after going through a couple of classes at the magic school or from being trained as an apprentice . " Karliah said .

" Why ? " Chase asked .

" When some people are given powers or have skill in magic they sometimes let it go to their heads to the point where they become arrogant or dangerous . " Karliah explained shaking her head .

" Are magic users normal in the hidden world ? " Andy asked .

" Very normal , most people carry some form of magic within them in this world even if it ' s a special ability they are born with . " Karliah said .

" Special ability ? " Chase asked .

" Like lycans being able to change between human and wolf , or a vampires heightened senses , these are gifts we are born with , for humans in the hidden world they can adapt to their surroundings . Some in the swampy areas or close to waterways have adapted to the area by having the ability to swim better or people in the mountains have adapted to the cold , for us this is a form of magic . " Karliah explained .

" I understand , " Chase said .

" Technically , Chase is a magic user , " Karliah said .

" Huh ? " Andy and Chase asked .

" Ever since you ' ve received the training from the lycans at the den in Meridia and we gave you the Shield from the Ancestor ' s Stone , you have become a magic user . " Karliah said .

Chase looked at the Force Stone he wore in a wristband on his left arm , the stone was given to him by an elderly lady that he helped when they first arrived at Hawthorne City and the wristband came from Tyson . And then there was the Vision Stone he received from the Collector on the way to the Northwatch Abbey that was attached to his belt .

" Interesting , " Andy said .

" Do artifacts like the Power Stones help you become a magic user , too ? " Chase asked .

" Some of them , but it takes less energy to use a spell attached to an artifact than it does spells that people can cast on their own , like your Shield powers . " Karliah said .

" Alright , this is a new problem we have to deal with , but I still say we wait on Dimitri and since we are also waiting on Madam Victoria to come with the aid to look at the artifacts from the Northwatch Abbey maybe we should look into the artifact connected to this Dove marking on my shoulder . " Andy said as Chase fixed lunch for himself .

" We can , " Karliah said grabbing the book given to Andy by Deek on the different vampire markings .

" What would be connected to a Dove ? " Andy asked .

" I don ' t really know , Nightshade was connected to the Bat and Dragonstooth connected to the Dragon , but the Dove ... " Karliah said as she smelled company as Andy smelled the same .

" You two are on edge , " Chase said as Andy got the door letting Lucas and Tyson in .

" Where ' s Oslow ? " Andy asked .

" Being tended to by the lycan healer in Hawthorne , they will care for him and make sure he ' s nourished back to health . " Lucas said .

Chase looked at Spark as he wandered back into the room after his nap onto his plate .

" You wake up when I have food , " Chase said letting Spark eat from his lunch .

" He ' s becoming an adolescent , " Tyson said .

" Yes , and he ' s been sparking at random , so , I ' m having to be careful with him . " Chase said .

" He ' s going through a development change , he should be fine after the winter season . " Tyson said .

" Hmm , " Karliah looked at Spark .

" You ' re deep in thought . " Andy said .

" Hang on , " Karliah said going to the room she shared with Andy looking through her bag not finding what she needed .

" I ' m confused , " Chase said .

" We will go to a bookstore after lunch , they should have something on caring for magical creatures . " Karliah said .

" So , Spark is tied to magic users ? " Chase asked .

" Very much so , just like all ooze including froth and flares , each one carries magic from birth , " Lucas said as Spark wandered into Chase ' s pocket .

" Don ' t worry , you ' re safe with me , " Chase promised making Lucas and Tyson wonder about Chase .
