Meeting Alice

Jenny walks outside the house and pulls out her phone and makes a phone call.

“Hey, Alice. I know you don’t want to hear my voice right now but I have a favor to ask.” Jenny asks pacing back and forth.

On the other side of the phone a witch named Alice sighs deeply and rubs her right eye in annoyance.

“What do you want Jenny, I’m a very busy witch.” Which is a lie, she normally sits in her room playing on one of her gaming consoles. “I need you to cast a spell for me. To keep Dracula from finding out about Kamen.”

Alice raises an eyebrow. “What about Kamen, what happened?”
“Just don’t be mad when I tell you.” Jenny says nervously.

“Alright I promise I won’t be mad just tell me.” Alice says annoyed. Jenny coughs and continues. “Well, I kinda turned Kamen into a vampire.” Alice goes silent, thinking that she heard wrong. “What did you just say Jenny?”.

“I turned Kamen into a vampire, so he could be with me.” Jenny says rather disappointed that her friend is judging her.

“Are you f****** serious Jenny, do you realize what you did?” Alice says yelling into the phone. Jenny’s ear starts to ring. “Ow, what do you mean, why are you yelling?”

Alice feels the vein in her head pop out. “Kamen isn’t a normal person, he has a lot of hate and resentment inside of him that he’s suppressed over the years. How could you not know that?!” Jenny is confused. “What does that have to do with anything?” “Don’t you understand, with him being a vampire his emotions will be heightened and those emotions will seep out of him.”

“That would explain the black energy that he released.” Jenny says. Alice stopped what she was doing and asked. “Bring Kamen here and I will look inside his soul and see how it is. Changing him into a vampire could have changed his soul for the worst.” Alice hangs up the phone.

*Sigh* “Kamen, what have I done to you, I thought that turning you into a vampire and training you would help you, and you’d fall in love with me.” Jenny thinks while tears fall down her cheeks. Jenny wipes away her tears and heads back into the house. As she enters, she sees Kamen sitting at the kitchen table, sipping on a glass of red wine.

“Kamen, we need to talk.” Jenny says, her voice shaky.

I look up at her, a hint of surprise in my eyes. “What’s wrong? Is everything alright?”

Jenny takes a deep breath before continuing. “I reached out to Alice to help us. She wants to look inside your soul and make sure everything is okay.”

I set down my glass of wine and stands up from the table. “Why? What’s wrong with me?”

Jenny hesitates before answering. “Alice thinks that turning you into a vampire might have changed your soul for the worst.”

My eyes widen with shock. “What? That’s ridiculous! I feel fine.”

Jenny steps closer to him, concern etched on her face. “Please Kamen, let Alice take a look, please do it for me.I hesitate for a moment before nodding my head. “Alright, fine. Let’s go see Alice.”

Jenny leads me out of the house and to Alice’s place on the outskirts of town. As we approach, I can see a faint purple glow coming from the windows.

“Alice must be expecting us,” Jenny says as she knocks on the door.

Alice opens the door, her usual annoyed expression replaced with one of concern. “Come in, both of you.”

We step inside and Alice leads us to a room filled with candles and crystals. She motions for me to sit in front of her, and I do so hesitantly.

Alice places her hand on my forehead and closes her eyes, humming softly. I feel a warmth spread throughout my body as she delves into my soul.

After what feels like an eternity, Alice looks concerned. “What is with this power, I haven’t seen anything like this in a long time.””What power?” I ask, my heart rate increasing with worry.

Alice looks up at me with a serious expression. “There’s a darkness inside of you, Kamen. It’s powerful and dangerous. Turning you into a vampire has amplified these negative emotions and given you the powers of negative energy, your body will feed off of peoples negative emotions fueling your power until you can’t take it and be overcome by it.”

My mind races as I try to process this information. “What can I do? Is there a way to get rid of the darkness?”

Alice looks at me sympathetically. “I’m sorry, Kamen. There’s no easy solution for this. You’ll have to learn to control and channel the darkness within you.”

I feel a weight settle in my stomach as I realize the gravity of the situation. “What if I can’t control it?”

Alice places a comforting hand on my shoulder. “We’ll help you, Kamen. Jenny and I will be here for you every step of the way.”

Jenny nods in agreement, determination set firmly on her face.

I know that this won’t be easy, but I’m willing to do whatever it takes to control the darkness within me. “Thank you both. I won’t let you down.”

Alice nods, a small smile on her lips. “I know you won’t.”

Jenny takes my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “We’ll figure this out together, Kamen. You’re not alone in this.”

As we leave Alice’s house, I can’t help but feel a sense of dread wash over me. The darkness inside of me feels like a ticking time bomb, waiting to explode at any moment.

But with Jenny and Alice by my side, I know that I can face anything that comes my way. We’ll do whatever it takes to control the darkness within me and ensure that it doesn’t consume me completely.

I look up at the night sky, taking in a deep breath of fresh air. This is only the beginning of our journey, but I’m ready for whatever lies ahead.

We head back to the house, Alistair is outside sitting on the porch looking depressed. He notices us coming up to the house and gets up. “What did you find out about Kamen’s soul?”Jenny and I exchange a look before I speak up. “There’s darkness inside of me, amplified by my transformation into a vampire.”

Alistair’s eyes widen in surprise. “Darkness?”

I nod. “Yes, and it’s powerful and dangerous. But I won’t let it consume me. With Jenny and Alice’s help, we’ll find a way to control it.”

Alistair looks at me with newfound respect. “I see. Well, if there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know.”

I smile at him gratefully. “Thanks, Alistair. Your support means a lot to me.”

We head back inside the house and settle down in the living room, discussing our next steps. It’s going to be a long and challenging journey, but I’m ready to face it head-on.

Whatever happens, I know that I have the support of my friends and loved ones. And with that knowledge, I feel like anything is possible.

A thousand miles away in a dark castle covered in a dark and menacing energy sits a man on a throne of skulls. He looks up and senses something off.

“That can’t be right, Ragnor. Come Here.” The man commands. “Yes sir.” Ragnor says telepathically.

Ragnor appears beside the man. “What do you need my King?”

The man looks at Ragnor with a disturbed look. “Something has changed, I sensed a new power. A power I haven’t sensed in a thousand years.” Ragnor looks surprised. ” What kind of power is it my King?” The man walks into the moon light shining from his castle windows revealing a tall pale man with long black hair. “This power is dark and different. It feels like my son Alucard.” Ragnor is taken back. “But sir, your son Alucard was killed long ago by the human priests.” The man looks at Ragnor.

“You think I, Dracula would forget how my son was killed?” He asked as a red menacing energy flowed through him, slightly choking Ragnor. “I’m sorry my King, I forget my place.” Ragnor bows his head.

“Forget it, I need you to go and collect information about this mysterious man. If we can, we need to bring him to our castle and see what he knows and make him join our side. “Right away my King.” Ragnor disappears into the shadows.

Dracula thinks to himself. “What could have happened to bring someone like my son into this world.” Angered, Dracula disappears into his room.

Back to where Kamen is.

I look at Alice and ask. “Where do we start to train my energy, and abilities.” Alice looks away from her book and towards me. “Well, we could start with meditating and focusing on your breath. It’s important to clear your mind and find inner peace.”

I nod, feeling a twinge of excitement at the prospect of mastering my abilities.

Jenny pipes up, “And then we could move on to practicing with the crystals. Alice has a lot of experience with channeling energy through them.”

Alice nods in agreement. “Yes, using crystals can help you focus your energy and learn how to control it.”

Alistair joins in, “And I can help you train with combat. Knowing how to defend yourself is crucial.”

I smile at them all. “Thank you. I’m ready to begin.”

We spend the next several hours meditating and practicing with the crystals under Alice’s guidance. It’s not easy, but I can feel myself improving with each passing minute.

As night falls, Alistair stands up. “Alright, let’s take a break for tonight. But don’t forget, we have a lot of work ahead of us.”

I nod in agreement as we all head to bed, exhausted but determined.

As I lay in my bed, I can feel the darkness inside of me stirring. But for the first time in a long time, I’m not afraid.

Outside the house a strange man in a black Gi sits in a tree watching Kamen through a window. He looks at Kamen with a calculating gaze, noting the way he exercises his newfound abilities. The man jumps off the tree and lands silently on the ground. He walks away and disappears into the night with a sinister smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Kamen has fallen asleep, completely unaware of the danger lurking outside. His dreams are filled with visions of his darkness consuming him, but he fights back with all his might, determined not to let it win.

Suddenly, he jolts awake, feeling a cold sweat covering his body. He looks around the dark room and realizes that something is off. He senses a presence in the room with him.

With lightning-fast reflexes, he jumps out of bed and assumes a defensive stance, ready for an attack. But there’s no one in sight.

Suddenly, he hears a chilling voice whisper in his ear. “You’re mine now.”

Kamen whirls around to confront his attacker but finds no one there. He feels a chill run down his spine as he realizes that this presence is unlike anything he’s ever encountered before.

He knows that he needs to be careful and stay vigilant. With the help of Alice, Jenny, and Alistair, he must learn to control his abilities and face whatever comes his way.

As Kamen settles back into bed. “I really need to stop watching so many scary movies, I could’ve sworn someone was in here.” As Kamen goes back to sleep. The strange man travels back to Ragnor to give him the intel he collected.
