Chapter 2: All The Myths Are True

"Gilbert, Mon ami, what's wrong?" Francis asked, looking up at the Prussian from where he was seated on the couch. He had come as soon as he had gotten Gilbert's call, bringing Antonio with him as he was asked.

"We screwed up, Francis. Remember all those disappearances a while back? They were spread out around the state, so we didn't think about it, but... " Gilbert had an expression on his face somewhere between distress and worry as he said this, "You remember that kid the Society sent us to keep an eye on? Alfred Jones? He's the latest of the disappearances. He's been missing since last night."

"And you think this has to do with Arthur?" Francis asked, giving his friend a worried look.

Gilbert nodded. "He's the only vampire that's shown up in this town for years. And look at the victims. They all have blonde hair and blue eyes, all in their early twenties, just like last time." He said, laying a folder on the coffee table.

"Er.. Francis, Gilbert? I don't mean to interrupt, but who is Arthur?" Antonio, who had been nearly silent the rest of the conversation, spoke up.

"Ah, right. You didn't join us until later..." Francis said, breaking the awkward (If not short) silence that had settled over the room, "I believe Gilbert would be best at explaining...?" He half stated, half asked, looking over at Gilbert for an answer.

Gilbert just sighed and looked at Francis, then Antonio. "Ja. I'll explain. It happened three years ago, just after Francis and I had been assigned to this town. We were just out of the academy, you know? We thought we could take on anything. So when we heard there was a powerful vampire in the area, we were all over it. Nothing could beat us, right?" He paused, taking a deep breath before continuing, "We were wrong. There were more of them than we expected, we never stood a chance. We- We had finally finished most of them off, when we saw him. Arthur Kirkland. The big bad, the guy we were supposed to defeat. He was just sitting there, in the middle of the dining room, drinking tea. It was like the battle hadn't effected him at all. When he saw us, he didn't say a word, he just stood up, put down his teacup, and walked over to us. We almost died in that fight. Fighting the vampires before him was nothing compared to this. By the end, we were brown and bloody while he barely had a scratch on him. We would've lost... But he let us go. The bastard just walked away like nothing had happened. Time passed, we got more experienced, you joined up with us...We never saw him again. But now he's back."

Alfred noticed when he awoke for the second time that he was definitely not in the same room as he was before. Although to be honest, he couldn't really see the room in question. He was lying in what seemed to be a long box, longer than it was wide, and pitch black. Wait- Was he in a coffin?! Alfred sat up quickly, banging his head and cracking the stone of the lid. He wasn't that strong before, was he? I mean he was pretty strong, but... The events of the night before flooded through his brain, and his hand instinctively went to his necks. The marks were gone, but that was definitely not a dream. Slowly, careful not to make a sound in case Arthur was nearby, Alfred fully removed the lid, sitting up in the stone coffin.

"Nice to see you awake again, luv." A cool voice echoed through the basement, and Alfred turned his head to see Arthur walking down the staircase.

"What the hell did you do to me?" Alfred asked loudly, trying his best not to yell. Who was that freak, anyway? Was he one of those creeps who think they're vampires or some shite? I mean, it's not like vampires are actually real, right?

"I thought that was quite obvious, actually." Arthur said, taking a step closer to Alfred's coffin, "I've turned you into a vampire, Alfred Jones."

First of all, I'm really sorry that I took so long to update (And I said I would update quickly, too! Gah, I suck.). Life just kept getting in the way. Because life is a jerk that doesn't understand the importance of fanfiction. Anyway, yay for the Bad Touch Trio as vampire hunters! I've been really excited about that bit since I started writing this, so it's great to finally have that in. The whole vampire hunter society thing should be explained soon, as well. I really will work to get the next update up sooner (And writing longer chapters). See you next time, my awesome readers! ^^
