Episode 13: The Undertaking

[Dracula POV]

I wake up, with my vision blurred, and I see Icarus standing in front of me. My vision clears up and I scope out my surroundings. I see myself tied up to a ceiling of an abandoned building.

"Good evening my lord, I have brought you here to bear witness to a new age of civilization." Says Icarus.

"You betrayed me... Why?" I ask.

"It was nothing personal, it is like you said... 'Sometimes, in order to ensure the future of the world, it needs a monster'." Says Icarus.

I then look up and I see Maric staring at the moon, it begins to turn a shade of red, as if the moon itself was bleeding profusely.

"What have you done?" I ask Icarus.

"We are going to use the blood we took from your son, and we are going to unleash the darkness of the Underworld onto this world. Humans will learn to fear us again, we are the children of the night. You want this world to be theirs? They can't even co-exist with each other." Says Icarus.

"You plan to eliminate humanity?" I ask.

"No, not eliminate them... We will make an example out of them. This is the perfect time for us to rule!" Says Icarus.

"The Time of humans has come to an end! We will now take this world on an undertaking of a new genesis , and I will be it's creator!" Says Maric.

I then look at Maric, and I see him pour my son's blood into an urn. Maric then speaks in the old language of warlocks and a black smoke comes out of the urn and it expells itself into the sky.

"Soon the dogs of hell will be unleashed on humanity..." Says Maric.

"I should have killed you years ago, Maric!" I growled.

"Your mistake. Ages wasted in foolish hiding, now is the dawn of the Vampire age!" Says Maric.

I then laugh at Maric and he jumps down towards me, staring into my eyes.

"You have lost Dracula, I will become what you were, what you abandoned." Says Maric.

"You're gonna fail... And you wil die slowly and painfully." I say to him.

Maric then punches me in the face, and he grabs me by the throat. He then raises his fist, attempting to kill me, but Icarus stops him.

"Wait! Don't kill him. I want him to watch as this city is destroyed by the monsters of hell." Says Icarus.

I then look out towards the window and I see the city being decimated by various demons, I then look at Icarus and I spit in his face.

"When I get out of here Icarus, I'm going to kill you... It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but I will tear you limb from bloody limb" I say to him with leathal intent.

"I am sorry my lord, I hope someday you will understand why I did this." Says Icarus.

Icarus then walks away and I just look at him with the intent of ending him.

[Angelica POV]

"Just hang on Drake, we gotta keep moving!" I say to a wounded Alucard.

"Angie... I'm fading fast... I can't keep up..." Says Alucard weakly.

"No don't say that, we can make it, we're almost there!" I say to him.

"I... I'm... I'm too weak...." Says Alucard.

When we get to the church, I see Drauhl standing outside the doors. As I make my way towards him, Alucard collapses to the ground.

"Alucard! What happened to him?" Asks Drauhl.

"Maric and Icarus did this, he sacrificed himself to save me." I say through tears.

"Traitor... Alucard's wounds are too great, we must help him inside!" Says Drauhl.

Suddenly, some kind of monsters fall from out of the sky, surrounded by some kind of black smoke.

"Take Alucard into the church, I will hold them off as best I can!" Says Drauhl.

Without saying a word, I carry the limp body of Alucard into the church. Alucard then falls to the floor, and I try to keep him awake.

"Hey, Alucard! Don't die on me!" I say to him.

"A... Angie... I'm sorry I got you into this..." Says Alucard.

"Shhhh... Don't talk, save your energy." I say with tears running down my face.

"What does it feel like? Dying?" Asks Alucard.

"I don't know... I guess it hurts, quicker then falling asleep." Says Angelica.

I then look and see that the wound of Alucard is pouring out blood fast. I then remember what I was told by him, the day he introduced me to his father.

"Whenever I am near death, I crave the taste of blood. The Witches told me that once I taste human blood, I will be an unstoppable force of nature."

I then take off my crucifix necklace, and I place Alucard towards me.

"Alucard listen to me, I need you to do something for me... Bite me." I say.

"No... Angie... I will kill you..." He says.

"I don't care, as long as I save my friend from dying." I say.

Alucard then bites me and I feel a rush of pain go through my body. As my blood drains from my body, I begin to convulse violently as my life is sucked from my corpse.

I then cry tears of pain and agony as the fangs sink deeper into my neck. I scream at the sering pain burns my body, it was like stepping through a field of thorns.

I could feel my last gasp of air escape my body, but I am then shoved to the ground by Alucard who let's out a monstrous roar. My vision becomes blurry and I begin to lose consciousness.

[Alucard POV]

My wounds begin to heal, and I feel a sensational surge of power crackle through me. My nerves blazed like the fire of a Phoenix and I let out a roar that trembles even the most fearful of beasts.

I then sense a sulfuric scent coming from outside. I then speed to the door and I kick it open, destroying it in the process.

I then see Drauhl fending off the demons valiantly, but they overpower him by brutally attacking him.

"Hey! You want to jump someone? Why don't you try me?" I say with a snarl.

The demonic monsters then charge me all at once, and I begin to kill them swiftly. Two demons try to punch me, but I rip out their hearts, killing them. Another demon tries to attack me with a sword, but I quickly kick him in the gut and face, breaking it's neck.

A demon then tries to attack me, but I go behind him and I punch a hole through it's  chest. Three demons then try to attack me at once, but I block and counter all of their punches and kicks. I then take a horn from a dead demon, and I use it to stab each of the demons in the heart.

The last remaining demon then tries to knock me down with kicks, but I grab it's leg  and I slice it's tendons. The Demon tries to punch me, but I duck and punch it in the face. I then punch it's face some more, before sticking the horn in its neck. I then use the horn to rip off it's head, with the spine still attached.

The blood of the dead demon then falls down my face, and I taste it like a beast on the hunt.

"Alucard... Thank you." Says Drauhl.

I then look at the sky and I see a red moon shining bright. As I look at the moon, I sense a powerful presence coming forth. The Witches teleport in front of me, along with Kathryn and Gregory.

"What the hell is going on here?" Asks Gregory.

"The Undertaking, Maric and Icarus have unleashed the creatures of hell upon the world. There is no reversing it." Says Majara.

I then rush into the church and I see Angelica screaming in pain. The others then rush in and they witness what I am seeing.

"Alucard, what did you do?" Asks Gregory.

"I drunk her blood..." I say softly.

"You what? Why would you do that?" Asks Drauhl.

"She wanted to save my life, I didn't want to do it." I say.

"She is beginning to change, she will become a monster... Just like Maric." Says Akra.

"We have to kill her..." Says Gregory.

"...Or, maybe we can save her!" Says Kathryn.

"How?" Asks Drauhl.

"A blood transfusion." Says Kathryn.

"What are you talking about?" Asks Akra.

"I read about Vampires before. Whenever they are bitten, they are sired to that person  right? So, if I can infuse the blood of Drake into Angelica..."

"...She will become a hybrid like me." I interrupt.

We then take Angelica into the medical room and we strap her down to a table. She then forms her fangs and she tries to bite Kathryn.

"Hold her down!" Says Kathryn.

Siedaa then uses a spell to bound Angelica to the medical table. I am amazed that she did it with little effort.

"Proceed..." Says Siedaa.

I then ask Kathryn to give me a cup so I can fill it with my blood. I then slice open my forearm and my blood pours into the cup, filling it all the way to the tip. My wound then heals up, sealing the opening on my forearm.

Kathryn then takes a IV tube and she places it in between the cup of blood and Kathryn's wrist. The blood then flows into her wrist, causing her painful groaning to cease.

As the blood quickly flows into her system, I kneel down beside her and I start to talk to her.

"Angie... You sacrificed your life to save mine. No one has ever done that for me, not since my mother. But the only difference is, I never knew my mother, but I know you. You see... You taught me a lot about human emotions and feelings, and I have been ignoring one feeling of emotion lately... Love." I say to her.

"I made a vow to protect those that I love, so don't you even think about dying on me. You didn't give up on me, I won't give up on you. Come on, Angie!" I say.

Angelica then slowly opens her eyes and I see that they are a shade of red. She then looks at me, almost with a sense of relief.

"Welcome back..." I say to her.

She then looks around the room and she looks at her hands. As if she is taken a back by what she now is.

"Alucard... What happened to me?" Asks Angelica.

"Angie, don't freak out... You're a Vampire now." I say to her.

"Well... How about that?" Says Angelica.
