Vampire Haven: the Awakening

*The Prophecy* _A time will come when two bloods will ignite, destiny and fate intertwined. Wars and battles that change the world forever. The chosen one will rise but one must die._ *Present day* The Dark Lord’s Castle was in a frenzy. Maids running in different directions. Physician streaming in from the front door. The air was tense and everyone clued up with panic. This was supposed to be a simple birth but it was taking longer than usual. It’s been two days and the Dark Lord Lady is still in labour. It’s never been heard in the history of Vampires. "Ahhh!" Ciara screamed loudly. She was feeling the strength in her slowly fade. The energy in her drained but she was determined to bring this life into the world. An heir for her husband she hoped, so she can’t give up now. "Mi lady, let’s try this one more time" Serach patted her arms in comfort. In all her life in a thousand decades she had never seen something like this. When the maids had run to her in panic delivering a message from the midwife requesting for her assistance she knew the time had come. She felt Ciara’s pulse, squinting her face, she reached into her bag and brought out a leaf. "Chew this mi lady, it will help replenish your energy." Search handed the leaf to one of the maids to wash and feed the lady. Lord Vladimir POV : The castle floors clinked loudly as the Dark Lord walks into the castles. His gate fastened but was precise. He had been away on a war defending protecting Kristof. Few days ago they had caught a spy in the Valley of Kristnof after much torture he spilled of their plans and he swung into action. He had kissed his wife on the forehead promising her he would be back before she knew it "Stay safe, know I'll be waiting" Ciara said. Those words lingered in his head reminding him of his responsibility and duty as father and husband. The war took an unexpected turn, another clan joined in against them overpowering his army three times but his men stood their ground. His right hand man and shield had tried reaching out to him but he was too caught up in the war, his sense blocked by blood battle. Not until when they were able to see a break through did he listen to what he had to say "Sire, the lady is in labour" These words made his eyes darken "Since when?” “ Two days now”. He snapped. his heart beat and he had promised he'd be there. His eyes turned blood red killing everything in his path, his men saw his action and matched his energy. What couldn't be done in two days finished in less than an hour. "I'll take care of the rest sire" assured him he was the right hand man, his shield and protector never to leave his side but he had to stay back and make sure everything was taken care of perfectly. Only he can make the Lord's mind rest and concentrate on his duty. "Alright, No survivors" Vladimir commanded. As he knew what to do. A selected tough warrior with great ability, the ones he could count on to escort the Dark Lord and with that he rode off. In anxiety. The atmosphere he met didn't loosen it. He walked into the giant mahogany door swinging open as he walked into the room. Making everyone inside turn towards his direction. Casper, who had replaced Axel, followed him behind. He walked into the room that had been decorated with white linens. Seeing her lying down looking weak shook his heart. Ciara looked at him, her eyes glued, a weak smile cracked her lip "you made it" she spoke. Vladimir rushed to her side holding her hands. He sat on the bed "I told you I'd be here, we'll do this to get it okay" Vladimir assured her with so much love and warmth. But deep down he was scared. He couldn't lose her. It would shatter his whole world. How can he cope? She is part of him. They've been together for thousands of decades now. He turned to Serach "What can we do" he said in a tone not commanding but firm. "I have given her something to replenish her energy. We just need to wait for the next contraction" Serach said, trying to bring his mind to settlement. "When will that be" Just immediately Ciara let out a piercing scream "No" Serach said, rushing to her side barking out orders to the midwives and maids. With the Dark Lord present everyone was kept on the edge. Vladimir held her hands "mi lady you have to push with all your might" Search placing her hand into her womb. "Arrrgh!" Ciara screamed, her grip on Vladimir's hand tightened at this point could even break his bones. Vladimir watched her. Vampires couldn't feel emotion or repulse but they could because they are pure blood, the original Vampires. The tiny cry made all of them burst out a sigh of gratitude. Joy filled the room. Vladimir held his wife's hand gently patting it "It's a boy" Serach said holding. The atmosphere in the room became cheery. Serach's senses heightened, noticing the change. She stood the first, sending everyone out with just the Dark Lord and the rest inside. She closed the door behind him. "His special one has been born. You must protect him until he turns twenty, calculated by normal human years. Keep him safe from prying eyes. The fate of the entire race rests in his hands" Ciara pays. Her eyes were pitch black as she spoke, her silver hair was livid. Vampires shining brightly. "His name is Alastair" She chuckled as she was concerned nothing happened. Her eyes and hair are returning to normal. That day was a joyful one for them but a bigger responsibility added. Axel POV: The war had lessened as their enemies started fleeing for their lives. Him and his army closed in. Killing the enemy, every single one. He tore, drank and bit everyone. In his fury don't doubt that. He held one of the soldiers looking at no less than a hundred. He was still young. "Please don't kill me" she ordered. "I never intended to be part of this war" he pleaded "I was kidn*pped from my family. I just want to be freed and go back to them".
