The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 217 217: Dream

"After Lilith, he had been with me the longest. He fought beside me, supported me and helped me in bringing you back."

Atlas introduced all the people in his team as Misella didn't know about anyone in the team.

"Overwhelmed?" After introducing everyone, he asked Misella. He could see on her face that she was quite overwhelmed. Then again, it was normal. One moment, she was a child and the next moment she was an adult. Her brother had changed and so did her entire world.

Misella didn't know how to react. She just looked at everyone, somewhat blank.

Atlas stepped closer.

"This time don't attack me. You just became a Progenitor, so you need to learn to control your strength first. But before that..."

He turned to Lilith. "Lilith, can you help dry her clothes?"

Lilith nodded. It was a simple thing. Misella had been inside the water for a long time. Not only her clothes but her face and her hair was also still wet.

Lilith cast a spell, raising his right hand gracefully.

A warm wind surrounded Misella, drying her clothes. Within five seconds, Misella was in warm clothes. Her hair was also dry.

She just looked in amazement. She had just experienced magic for the first time.

"Lilith is a Witch. Vor and Lancaster are Werewolves. You and I are Progenitors now." Atlas gave a brief. "This was the only way to bring you back from death, by making you an undying Vampire."

"I am a... Vampire?"

Misella looked at her hands, noticing they were very pale. "But my eyes... They aren't red! Your eyes aren't either."

"There are Vampires who don't have red eyes. It's normal. It's just that red eyes are more common so we only knew about them," Atlas explained. "Now that you are a Progenitor, you are the strongest Vampire and you're impossible to kill. Still, you have a lot to learn which I'm sure you'll do in time."

"Until then, shall we leave this place?"

Atlas kept that black stone in his Spatial storage, using his spell. He didn't give that special Progenitor Stone to Lilith. He also didn't want to leave it here as there were many people who now knew about this stone, including Luna. He believed it was safer if he just kept it.

Misella could only agree. She couldn't recognise Atlas, but she decided to believe him when he said that he was Atlas. She was mostly sure of it. If she could look different now, why can't he? Moreover his words and his actions... They all proved that he was Atlas.

Initially, she was too much in a shock to react, but after making sure that he was Atlas and coming to her senses, she just hugged Atlas, losing control of his emotions. The moment of her death was still flashing before her eyes. Even though she was perfectly fine now, she was still thinking about her death and how scared she was.

Atlas wrapped his hands around Misella as well, realizing what she was feeling. "Don't worry. You are safe now. No one can harm you now... Not even those Vampires. In fact, they should be scared of you now."

"You can kill them with a single finger, you know?" he asked.

Misella was still in disbelief but she nodded. "I was so scared. I am sorry for messing things up for you..."

"You didn't do anything. Don't think about that. It's all in the past. Carlisle is also dead now and he died a really bad death at that.'

After a long hug, Misella finally freed Atlas.

She knew that the man before her was Atlas, but she also knew that it was going to take her a long time to be accustomed to his new face.

Atlas held Misella's hands and took her back to leave. Along the way, he told her more about the Progenitors, regarding how they were the first Vampires and how they started their own lineage.

Hearing all these, Misella was taken aback. She looked in surprise. Were Progenitors really that special? Then how was it so easy to become one?

She directly asked this question.

"Even I'm not sure how this actually works," Atlas answered. "But fortunately I managed to pull it off."

So far, he didn't tell Misella about the fact that he wasn't really a Progenitor and that he was just in the body temporarily. She was just back. He didn't want to make her sad by telling her more than she needed to know.

He cast a flight spell, looking at the light in the sky. His body started rising in the air with Misella, stunning her even more. She couldn't believe she was flying. It was all so incredulous that it made her wonder if she was dreaming.

Everything that she came to know in the last few hours made her believe that it couldn't be real.

"This is a dream, isn't it?" she asked, hesitant. She didn't want this to be a dream, but it felt real as well.

"If it's a dream, then it's surely one I don't ever want to end," Atlas answered, smiling wryly.

He knew that it wasn't a dream, but he could understand why it would feel like a dream. If he was in her place, he would've thought the same thing. In fact, when he first woke up in Castiel's body, even he wondered if it was a dream, which he still remembered. Thus he couldn't fault her.

Atlas landed on the ground outside. The others also came out, landing around them. As soon as they all came out, the crack in the ground started closing up.

The opening in the ground returned to the way it used to look before. There was not even a glimpse left which could make it feel like there was ever a crack in the ground.

Lilith also cancelled the protection spell in the surroundings as she didn't need it any more.

"This place... Is it...?" Misella looked at the village behind her, recognizing where they were.
