You have forsaken me
Author notes:
Thank you for coming, this idea came to me a while ago and I notice a lack of "dark" fanfics of Rayllum (not being rude by the way). Now let us continue this is rated M for a reason (I'm not good at lemons but I'll try so back you horny fiends hope you like limes) so please bear with me as we follow the Counts journey. Rayla will be older in the events of the show (18).
Summary:
"You failed her, so you have forsaken me, you will not take her from me! I will consume your blood so that I'll be God! I will find her and she'll be mine! Aaravos!" "How may I serve you my Count."
The storm raged on as the man cried out in rage. "She has taken her life, your majesty. She cannot be saved. For she is damned! It is God's law!" A female laid across the floor, her blood pooling around, but she was not human, only an elf. An elf with white hair with silver tips, along with purple marks along her cheeks. The young man yelled out in rage as the lightning struck outside.
"Aaahhhh!" The man knocks over the bénitier spilling holy water across the floor. "Is this my reward for protecting God's church!?" "Sacrilege!" "I renounced God! I renounced him! I shall arise from death and avenge her with my dark powers of the wicked one!" He tossed the priest across the room and drew his blade. He looks at the cross.
"You failed her, so you have forsaken me, you will not take her from meee!" He ran towards the cross and impaled it with his sword. Blood flowed from the wound as well as the statues like a river. He grabbed a golden chalice and let the blood flow into it. "The blood is the life….the blood is the life and it shall be mine. I will consume your blood so that I'll be God!" He raised the chalice to his lips and drank what lies within. The priest was long gone, only God and the heavens watched as he continued to drink. The storm raged with God's wrath when he finished. "I will find her and she will be mine!"
The sound of thunder answered his call. "Nnnnnooooo! Aaaaahhh!" He clutched his head in pain and called out a name. "Aaaarraavooosss!" The name echoed through the church. "My Count, you look to be in pain. How may I serve you my Count."
(The scene fades to black.)
01 Days before the events of episode 1 begins
The group made it to the entrance of the cave. "We'll set up camp here for the night before making it to the castle." "It seems easy Runaan." "It never is Rayla nothings easy. Now rest up." "Aye, aye captain." "This isn't a game Rayla." "Alight, just trying to lighten the mood ya know." Sigh "Just get some rest." She nodded her head and walked deeper into the cave.
The deeper she traveled into the cave the more it looked less of a cave and soon she found herself in front of a set of doors that time has not treated them well. She grinned. "Let's see what's behind door number one." She wedged her blade in between the doors, soon they gave way to the elf and let her see what secret they held from her.
She walked down the stairs and saw many crosses. "Wow." She walked beyond the crosses and into the next room. The 2nd room was filled with chest of gold and other things, paintings worn down by time, but something kept her moving forward to the 3rd and final room.
A casket as black as night with words scribbled on the wall of the back wall. She needed to see if this was an elves tomb or a humans either way the humans shouldn't have this. "Alright Rayla easy does it." She stabbed her blade into the casket and pushed down with all her might. The casket pops open as Rayla let's her hand slip off the handle and onto the blade. "Fuck! My hand!" With a huff she looked into the casket and saw the corpse in chains. The person had pointed ears but had five fingers? A halfling?
"But why have sharp teeth." She pulled her hand back from the body unaware that a drop of her blood fell from her hand and into its ribs. The blood fell upon its heart. Flesh grows around the bones and the heart beats again.
Rayla looks at the writing on the wall.
Cor niger tamquam in nocte sed purus eius. Macto resurgere, quia unus est qui amat. Ut percutiat Deus descendit, et in eius locum novum Deo, de mundo et de homine. Principe tenebrarum erit consumat omnia, quod lumen est.
She had not a clue what the words said but only her name and luna being moon. A claw hand reaches out of the casket with the chains rattling. Causing Rayla to see the corpse alive with glowing green eyes. A growl broke her thoughts as it dashed towards her. Nearly getting pinned by the monster she dashed towards the exit.
She ducked as a shadow tackled one of the crosses, wasting no time she threw a wall banner on to it and dashed towards the doors. She ran to the end of the cave and saw her group almost done packing up. "Rayla you ok, you looked like you saw Sol Regem blinking." "I'm fine." "Then why are you bleeding." "Just tripped on a rock nothing else." Runaan let the lie go. "Fine, just get it patched and let's get moving we're on a schedule." "Right." She looked back at the cave and saw nothing. She walked with her group with the sound of thunder roaring in the distance.
"Mea pulchra paulo luna. We'll meet again soon." His green eyes looking at the elf and her group walk towards the castle in the distance. "What world have you brought me into my Rayla?" The bat replaced the man and flew towards the same castle.
He flew into a window and changed back into his human form with only a hooded robe. He walked the halls with the sound of thunder shaking the castle. A portrait of the royal family came into view that caught his attention. The father of the family was a tall man with brown skin, angular features, green eyes, and a goatee. He had dark brown afro-textured hair styled into dreadlocks, with most of the locks tied back in a bun and with golden bands on the ends. Additionally, he wore a red and gold patterned tunic, as well as a black cape.
The wife had brown hair tied into a bun with bangs on the side. She had brown eyes, a light complexion, and a mole below her left eye. She wore royal robes with red, gold, light gray. "Truly beautiful but not like my wife." "What did she look like?" The robbed man turned towards the voice and saw the kid that was the same in the portrait. A light brown-skinned child with wide, light blue eyes, a round nose, freckles spotted across his cheeks, and thick eyebrows. On his head grows a fluffy, dark brown afro, which extends mainly upwards and does not grow much further than past his neck. He wears a red, long-sleeved shirt adorned with gold accents, a brown belt with a gold buckle, dark brown trousers, and dark gray and brown boots. The child was holding a glow toad in one arm while eating a dessert of some sort in the other.
"Beautiful in her own right, just as your mother. Hair white as snow you'd think she was an angel of sorts. Violet eyes that I'll never get tired of seeing, with markings on her face with the same color you'd think she cries the color violet." "She was an elf?" "The most beautiful of them all, and I'll find her again. Tell me child what's yours and your mother's name." "Ezran and my mom's name is Sarai Dracula who married my dad Harrow, and you?" "Callum Dracula or you can call me your very old grandfather. Come let's meet your parents." "My dad would love to meet you, but moms not here. Dad said she went to a better place." "I see. Come let's go."
The sound of thunder clashed in the sky causing Ezran to jump and hide behind his grandfather. He chuckled at the boy's antics. "My boy there's no need to fear the storm. As long as I'm here no man, elf, nor beast shall harm you." "Promise." He held out his pinkie towards the older man. "I promise."
The throne room was quiet although it was occupied. Harrow sat on the throne with Viren on one side and Opeli on the other. Ezran brought forth a man who claimed that he was an old relative to his dead wife. The old man told Ezran to wait outside until he was done talking to his father.
"You claim that you're an old relative to my wife, explain." The hooded figure chuckled. "You make demands as if you rule as a king." "I am." "But what is a king to a God. You are no God nor a king. You're just a man that failed to save his wife. My flesh and blood murdered by you and stubborn ideas." "It was thunder that took my wife, and you better pick your words carefully or-." "Or what you're gonna kill me. Foolish mortal I am God, and as such you will hand over the throne to me." "Enough of this idiocy, guards!"
The king's men came forth blades drawn towards the hooded figure. Unaware the king had sent his men to death. The monster disappeared from view and appeared behind one of the guards that were the furthest of the group. Before they could react the Count sank his fangs into the man. Others watched the scene in horror as he drank from the poor soul. Soon others met the same fate.
Only the king and his two friends were left. "Bow to me." Dracula's voice changed and sounded younger. Viren stood for. "No." "Then you'll die braver than most, but then again you're not." Shadows came to life and wrapped around the three as the Callum walked towards them. "You won't get away with this." All that he saw was Callum smiling at him.
"Dad, grandpa Callum, can I come in yet." The door opened slowly as Ezran walked into the empty room. "You know calling me grandpa makes me sound old just call me Callum, Ezran." "Ok." "Now come we must get you ready for bed."
00 days
"Where's Viren and king Harrow?" "I don't know they went on a long trip and left me in control. Now stop with these questions or there'll be consequences."
Virens children were getting annoying to Callum; he was close to sending them to the dungeons when a guard burst through the doors. "My lordship moonshadow elves found near the western gate!" "So that's their game. Thank you let them come. The trap is set." He was alone in the room.
Runaan looked at the band for the king slipped off. Something wasn't right, but still only the prince's band remained. "We'll continue with the mission, remember the prince dies. For Xadian and the prince." Others said the same oath as their leader said getting ready for the battle.
Night fell upon the castle as the group moved through the shadows. All was well until they entered the throne room. A lone figure sat on it clapping slowly. "Bravo. Truly the best assassins shame I can still hear you and can barely see you." "Hand over the boy." "No deal, but you can hand over Rayla."
The attention was on her now. "What do you want with her?" "Come here Rayla don't you want to see your parents." He pointed at a table that had two copper coins. Or do you want peace between elves and humans. Ezran came around the throne holding the dragon prince. "Take your time my luna."
She didn't know what to do her parents were alive but trapped in coins. The dragon prince was alive; she didn't know what to do. "How about a different deal?" "Oh and what will that be?" Callum walked towards her with mischief in his eyes. She stood tall as he walked around her observing her. "Take the prince back to the Queen and we won't hurt anymore of your loved ones." "And your parents?" "What do you want in return?" He stopped in front of her. His hands wrapped around her waist pulling her in close, and explored her body. "I think you know what I want, my little moon."
She blushed under his touch. Never before had she been touched as such. Holding her moans back realizing that they're not alone, her team and the young prince watching. Mostly her team while the prince looked away as best as he could. She turned her head to see her team, each with looks of disgust. "I'm sorry." "What ever for Rayla?" He grinned as he got closer to her neck. "This!" She used what strength she had and tossed him towards her team.
Runaan was the only one to react fast enough to stab Callum through the right side of his chest and his lower abdomen. Blood pooled to the floor but Callum stood tall grinning like a madman. "Ezran turn around, no peeking." Those in the room stared in confusion as Ezran turned around. "You elves are so predictable. I am the prince of darkness. I am inevitable. I! Am! God!"
Groans and the sound of bones breaking filled the room as Callum changed into a large bat man like creator. The monster flicked Runaan to the side and attacked the team. Rayla rushed over to Runaan. "Come on Runaan we need to leave." "No you need to finish the mission." "I-I can't do it." "Then you were a mistake." Sounds of fighting ended as quickly as it began, soon the sound of footsteps behind Rayla grew louder.
"Rayla my dear come here and accept your punishment." Her mind was blank and her body moved as it was told and walked towards Callum. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear. "Don't worry I'll make the pain go away. Just watch." Her eyes followed him as he walked towards Runaan.
Callum kneeled down and grabbed Runaan by the neck until they saw eye to eye. He leaned in close and whispered. "Aaravos sends his regards." All Rayla could see was a look of shock from her former uncle before Callum attacked his neck. His screams of agony echoed in the room as Rayla was forced to watch as her punishment as Runaan was devoured before her eyes.
Callum released his body but before it hit the ground it turned to dust, leaving nothing, not even a trail. "Rayla. Come here." She obeyed and stood before him. His lips and chin covered in blood, before she had a chance to ask he grabbed the back of her head and crashed his bloodied lips to hers. She was in shock and he was able to slip his tongue inside her mouth. She was disgusted she tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong she had no choice but to kiss back. Runaan's blood stained her lips and mouth. Soon Callum released his grip of her. "I believe it's time to rest." Her eyes felt heavy, unable to hold herself, before she fell to the floor two arms wrapped around her being held like a bride. She looked up at Callum and saw emerald eyes filled with warmth, lust, and love. "I have found you again my little moon, and this time I'll never let go."
Author notes
The first chapter is done, it lives. I'm not good with writing long stories but I felt like something was missing, I don't know what it is but I know something's missing. I was surprised that there weren't any vampire fics in this franchise.
Anyway hope you enjoyed it, follow, favorite or leave a comment. Bye.
