“How The Lonely Vampire Prince Came To Be”

Part 3 of 3      

Continued…

5 nights later…

July 28th, 1416…9:15pm

These past few nights have just been, well, really difficult. Both my parents have been going to see my grandmother to keep her company now that it’s her in the castle there, but it’s even harder when both of them are going back and forth just to see her. So they thought it’d be best if she came to stay with us for a little bit, and I was fine with that. She needed all the support that she can get right now.

Me on the other hand, this was more difficult for me to deal with, I was struggling more than the others sometimes. When you lose someone so close to you, it sucks big time, and you can’t really do anything about it, but move forward and continue their legacy through out time.

And that’s exactly what I was going to do.

I was sitting on the window seat of my bedroom, looking at the night sky outside, the stars shining bright as ever, including the moon.

‘I hope your somewhere safe, wherever you are’ Sonic lowered his head with dropped ears and sighed.

He then pulled out a note from his back. It was from Amy, a pink hedgehog girl from the village who he had been good friends with since 5 years of age. She had a bright and kind personality, and was there for Sonic no matter what. But, unfortunately, she was away at the moment and didn’t remember when she was coming back.

I looked at the piece of paper in my hand. Mhm, maybe she wrote it in here. She gave it to me at the funeral a few days ago as she did she was leaving for a little bit. Maybes now the time to open it.

I opened it fully, then read it.

‘Dear Sonic, I’m so sorry I couldn’t stay long and be there for you at the funeral, I had to leave to visit some family elsewhere, so I’m writing this to let you know that I won’t be gone long, I’ll be returning sometime on the 28th, let’s meet up at Luminous Lake, at let’s say, 9:30, I’ll be there waiting’

- Amy

I lightly smiled. ‘Well at least I have someone like her in my life to make things brighter for me’

I got up and walked to where the grandfather clock was sitting at. I looked to see it was around 9:20pm. I should get going, good thing the lake isn’t that far from here.

I went over to the window and opened it up. A slight breeze came sweeping in the room, it felt cool. I look out in front of me, the ground beneath me wasn’t that high up from where I was standing.

“Well, good thing I was born to be adventurous” I climbed up the ledge and closed the window behind me slowly before jumping off the ledge. I quietly made my way towards the lake without  being noticed by the guards outside the front doors. I looked back at the castle for a moment.

‘I feel like one of those people that just sneaks out, breaks their curfew, just so they can go out and be the naughty kid that they are, and doesn’t want to listen to the rules. Well good thing I was raised to be a good boy.’

I sighed. ‘I hate sneaking out like this really, but I’ve been cooped up in that castle for a few days now, not wanting to come out, plus I want to see Amy and spend some time with her, at least for a little bit.’ I turned back around and walked over towards the lake.

~~~
I reached the lake, but no sign of Amy yet. ‘I’ll give her a few minutes’

I sat down in front of the water.

Looking at it a night is peaceful, and the sounds of loons can be heard in the distance. The water was clear, making small gentle waves crash to the ground, and twinkling in the moon light. I usually come here just to get away from things, some peace and quiet.

Over the past couple years, Amy and I both started to like each other a little bit, were both growing up and becoming more mature, and at this time around, I think now would be the time to talk about it.

I then looked at my reflection in the water, staring back at me. I have so many emotions bottled up inside of me that it’s hard to tell how exactly how I feel right now. Maybe Amy feels the same way like I do…

If she does, then, I could possibly tell her tonight how I feel…

Just then, a screaming in the distance interrupted his thoughts. This made Sonic’s ears perk up and alarmed.

“Wait, that scream, I know it!”

It was coming from the left side of the forest. I ran off fast as I could towards where the screaming was coming from.

“S-Someone help me! Anybody!”

Sonic recognized the voice immediately and ran faster towards where it was coming from.

He came to an immediate halt when he came an small opening of the forest. His eyes widened at the scene in front of him.

Amy was on ground backing up as someone in a black cloak was in front of her.

“G-get away from me you nasty creature!”

“Oh, but why? Your blood smells delicious from here, I can already taste it” The creature said licking its lips in delight.

Sonic clenched his fists in anger, but was confused for moment. Why does this person want her blood? What kind of person eats blood for food?

He then thought for a moment. He then remembered his folks telling him about all these mythical creatures years ago at a young age, and to stay away from them if they looked anything suspicious or acted ’weird’ in any case. Could this be one of them he heard about?

“Ahh!”

He snapped out of his thoughts and forgot that ’Thing’ was in front of Amy ready to ‘eat’ her blood any moment.

‘I gotta thing of something, quick!’ There was nothing around to help Sonic right now, but he couldn’t just stand and let his love get attacked by that creature.

An idea suddenly popped into his head, and according to him, it was one of those ‘crazy but  just might work ideas’ or in his case, a really stupid one. But knowing this was the only option, he simply had no other choice…

…It was the only way to save her.

‘I’m…so sorry’  

The creature’s red eyes glowed and bared its fangs, ready to feast on Amy. ’You’ll be dry when I’m done with you.

With faith…

“Get away from her!”

Sonic rushed forward and jumped in front of the creature right before it even pounced on her, pushing it out of the way, out of her reach.

Amy was about to accept her fate when she didn’t feel anything coming. She noticed this and was relieved but when she looked beside her…she was in utter shock when she now saw who the creature was fighting against.

Sonic was fighting off the creature above him.

“My my, aren’t you a brave one saving the love of your life, how sweet. But it won’t be as sweet as your blood.” The creature smelled his blood and licked its lips once more.

“Don’t you even dare touch him, you freak!” Amy yelled, ready to attack it herself.

“A-Amy! Don’t worry about me, just go get help!”

“But-“

“Just go!”

Amy hesitated, struggling off tears but nodded, she ran as fast as she could towards the village.

“Heh! Looks like it’s just you and me, bloodsucker!” Sonic said, trying to pry the creature off him.

“Heheh, let’s see how quickly you can dodge this!” It was about to bite Sonic when he suddenly kicked it off him, knocking it ti the ground.

Sonic quickly got up. “Ha! Not so tough now! Huh?” HIs victory lasted for a few seconds until it came back, slamming him forcefully into the nearest tree, taking him by surprise.

“That’s where your wrong hedgehog”

Sonic weakly got up. “I-I know what you are, what your capable of”

“Oh, so you have heard of us, trust me were capable of a lot of things…including this…”

The vampire rushed towards him, pinning him to the tree.

Sonic tried to get away…

But it was too late.

~~~
By the time Amy reached the village, a mob of knight guards were out scattered in the village on their horses, so were the royals.

She approached them. “What’s going on?”

“Oh Amy, thank goodness your here. We noticed that Sonic wasn’t in his room back at the castle” Jules said.

“He must’ve snuck out, have you seen him by any chance?” Bernadette asked.

She was about to answer when an agonizing scream echoed from the forest.

Everyone perked up, so did their ears.

“Sonic!” Bernadette shouted. “Where is he Amy?”

“He wasn’t too far from Luminous Lake, I’ll show you the way”

Bernadette nodded, and patted the back of her saddle for Amy to climb on.

“Just go down straight!”

“Men! This way!” Jules shouted.

They quickly made their way down

Amy held onto Bernadette tightly with fear gripping her. ’Hang in there Sonic…’

Meanwhile…

Sonic was struggling for his life as the creature was sucking the blood from his neck. He was struggling to fight it off, but was becoming weaker by the moment.

Just before coming unconscious, heard the sound of galloping coming towards from the other way.

“There!” Amy pointed.

The others had arrived to see the young royal being devoured by that ‘thing’.

Bernadette was horrified at was happening to her son. “Don’t worry dear, I’m coming!”

She quickly got off her horse about to head for Sonic but Jules stopped her before she can go further.

“Dear, you can’t!”

“But-“

“I’m sure whatever that thing is, we can stop it together. Men! Prepare to-“

“Wait! I have some things that might kill it!” Amy said. They turned to look at her quizzically.

From her back she pulled out two things, a jar containing ‘holy’ water, and a thick long stick like thing, from the looks of it, it appeared to be a stake.

“Amy, where’d you get those?” Jules asked.

“I always carry things like this with me if I suspect any danger around. Now would be the time to use them!” She said, giving Jules the jar of holy water, while she gave Bernadette the stake.

“You really came through Amy, thank you.” He said.

She nodded.

“Dear, listen to me, I’m going to lure that thing away from Sonic, on my command, stab the stake through its body, understand?! He said making his way to the vampire, who was still sucking on Sonic’s neck.

She nodded and waited for the command. “Be careful dear!” Amy decided to stay close to the
army of knights just to be safe. A look of worry spread all over her. ‘Oh Sonic…

Sonic on the other hand was becoming paler and weaker by the second. But it suddenly stopped when a shrieking cry came from the vampire. Jules had sprayed some water on the vampire, making it howl with pain, this however caused it to stop feasting on Sonic.

“H-how dare you!” The vampire turned around with anger, steam coming off its body front the holy water. It was about to go for Jules…

“Now Bernadette!” The vampire was confused for a moment until something pierced through its chest from behind, making it shrill in pain. It noticed a stake right through its heart. It then fell to the ground, where it disintegrated into dust.

Everyone was relieved, but not quite relieved.

Jules, Amy and the guards were by Sonic, who was still pretty much alive, but still very weak. “Oh my dear boy!” Frightened, Bernadette came rushing to her son’s side, dropping to her knees, hugging him tight. “Thank goodness we came just time!” Then she smelled something very unpleasant coming from him, almost ‘metallic’ like. She then stood up, and widened her eyes at what it was. Everyone around them had the same expression.

Sonic had two holes formed on the side of his neck, dripping with a little bit of blood.

Everyone was almost petrified at this. “N-No, this can’t be happening!” Amy said, in utter shock.

Jules went by her side to comfort her. “I-I’m sorry Amy, at least we now know what that creature was. But from the looks of it, it doesn’t look good from here.”

Since they knew what this creature was now, they now knew what the outcome would be…

~~~

Sonic, who later on had regained some of his strength back, had told his folks later afterwards why he snuck out, He knew it wasn’t just to see Amy, but he couldn’t sleep and was cooped up inside for the past 5 days. They did understood that he’s been having a difficult time processing Jules death, so they weren’t all that mad, just the part where he snuck out is all. Amy did explain to them too that she was out of town and was arriving later tonight, and thought it would be the best time to see him.

And now that Sonic has been bitten by that vampire, it would only get worse from here. Sonic, not having any choice, decided that it would be best for him to leave this village, get away from there so that he would cause no harm to anyone, including his loved ones, especially Amy.

The others were hesitant and skeptical on the idea, but finding a cure for it would be impossible to find, or there just wasn’t a cure at all. Knowing this wasn’t going to be easy on them…

Finally, at the end, they agreed on it.

Later that night…

Sonic was about to leave his only place where it would’ve brought him happiness, but knowing what would become of him, looks like he won’t be getting a happy ending after all, especially with Amy, the love of his life.

His folks, friends, and even some of the people of the village, have packed some things for him to take with him, including something that’ll help him with his ‘nourishment’.

But where was he going to go?

He knew of one place…a place where it would bring him happy memories, and to keep him safe and sound. He then said goodbye to everyone he knew, then fled quickly as possible. Everyone watched in sadness as the young prince, now a runaway/soon to be vampire, as he disappeared down the road.
~~~
I was running a lot more faster than usual, could this be a side effect from that bite I got?

Mhm? Well, I do know for a fact that vampires do have super speed, so that kinda makes sense.

Sonic came to a halt at his destination. He then looked up at the place.

‘I haven’t been here since his death…where I witnessed it in front of my own eyes. But I know it will keep me safe for the time being. Perhaps the rest of my life.’

A sudden throbbing in my head started when I started making my way inside the place.

I then started swaying a little once I got inside, almost making me fall.

“I, don’t feel so good…”

It was then I realized, I got here in just the nick of time. And it’s a good thing I left as soon as possible, cause the timing came for me at just the right moment, as a sudden surge of excruciating pain come rushing through me. I fell to my knees and grabbed my head. “N-No!” 

Sonic felt a strange but devastating sensation inside of him. It was the venom coming from the bite, flowing through his body, now starting to take full effect.

He couldn’t really fight it, as the pain started to become worse, and was yowling in pain. He now dropped to the floor, his body convulsing. All Sonic could do at this very moment was suffer, and let the pain take over.

The venom spread through out inside of him, shutting down all the organs inside his body, including his heart and brain (well some of his brain). His two front slightly pointed teeth, now being pulled into very sharp and pointy fangs. The fingers on his hands now becoming claws, and lastly, his eye colour kept shifting until they were no longer emerald green…now turning a glowing blood red.

With flashes of images flooding his head, mostly memories or things he’s seen, his mind finally went blank...

It was over, he no longer felt the pain. The pain was finally over. But knowing what he just went through…

!

Sonic quickly went to go find a mirror. He ran upstairs, went straight to his grandparents bedroom and found one. He dropped to his knees. When he looked at himself, he was in complete and utter disbelief, and shock, before his reflection disappeared in front of him, no longer seeing how he looked.  

He didn’t want to accept the fact that he was no longer mortal, but now seeing what has become of him, he had to accept this fate from now on, and now knowing the fact that he now has to drink…blood, and only blood from now on.

Sonic clenched his hands into fists, he was down right frustrated and upset. He did it for a good cause, for someone he cared about so deeply. But thinking about it he had to do it, there was really no other way.

‘This is just great! First my grandfather dies and now this?! Things couldn’t possibly get any worse…oh wait a second, they already did!’

Sonic put his hands in his face as tears struck his face as he now had to face his now immortal life, and what lies ahead of it…

~~~

“Now, over the past 5 centuries, Sonic learned to control his vampirism, but because of that though, he became very depressed about it. Not only because of that, but the ones he loved back at home would pass on, and no longer be here on this planet, especially Amy. He would forever then be lonely…” Bianca said, finishing up.

Despite the state he’s in now, or could be, he had made himself one goal, and one goal only…no matter how long it would take him to accomplish it…to find someone who would love him for the creature that he is, and so that he wouldn’t be so lonely anymore…

“Omg! That’s just so sad and horrible” Adeline said, covering her mouth. “I can’t even imagine what he must’ve went through…”

“I feel you girl” Alice put a hand to her shoulder.

I put my head in shame. ‘As crazy as this sounds…I honestly feel really sorry about him too. That he gotten his life taken from him in moments…’

“So how did these rumours even start in the first place?” Vanessa asked.

“Well it started in the 1900’s and continued on…as modern society and its people were changing over the time, they would be seeing a blue blur or mysterious figure appear out on the streets at night. They didn’t know what for, but almost right away, they immediately guessed that it was rumoured to be Jules I’s long lost grandson who became immortal. Nobody fully saw him physically, and see if it was him for sure but since they really couldn’t make it out, they then decided  to give this mysterious being a name for the time being…”

“And that would be?…” Adeline asked.

“Since his backstory is easy to know, it actually didn’t take long to come up with a name for him…”

“So, what is it then?” Alice asked.

“They came up with a name that would surely be remembered always…The Lonely Vampire Prince”



“That’s, an interesting name to be honest” Alice said.

“And it suits him well and his situation” Adeline said.

“Cause he’s a prince, who’s a vampire, and that he’s been lonely for so long?” I asked

“Exactly”  

“She’s not joking really so” Vanessa said.

“Yeah I know”

Just then…*stomachs rumbling*

Bianca looked at her watch. 12:25pm “Heh, well looks I’ve taken up a lot of time then?”

“Well, we did have a light breakfast this morning so” Alice said.

“Are they any places to eat around?” Adeline said.

“Uh, can’t say I’m not really sure, but whatever you find will sure satisfy you” Bianca said.

“Yeah, what she said” I said, my stomach starting to hurt from the hunger.

“Well, anyways I should be getting something myself, my next tour will be starting soon. Hope you ladies enjoyed the lovely tour today”

“Well, I certainly did!” Adeline said, thinking back to the painting of Sonic on how cute he looked.

“Me too. Not to mention that little story…” Alice said.

“Yes it is quite tragic. But even if he is actually real, then I hope he finds what he’s looking for…” Bianca said. “Well, gotta head back, enjoy the rest of your day!” She then headed back towards the castle entrance.

“Thanks again!” Vanessa almost shouting so Bianca could hear. She then turned to the girls.

“Well with today being quite the journey, I’d say we all deserve a good meal, don’t you think?”

A bunch of nods were and “yeahs” were said.

“Well then, Uncle’s already here so let’s get going shall we?” We got up from the ground, dusting off what ever dirt or grass was on our outfits. We then headed for the car, when I stopped to quickly turn around for a moment.

Nothing was at the window this time. Funny, I was actually kinda expecting to see ‘Sonic’ pop up one last time before saying good bye.



I sighed. If it is him, then why’s it always when he somehow sees me whenever I’m around? Well, he is reportedly to be immortal and sometimes people like that could have special abilities, or powers even…Maybe that’s how he’s catching/watching me…most likely in my dreams though, since I did actually encounter him, not knowing it was him, and his name until now. But I don’t know 100% yet, I should keep looking…maybe that book will help me out.

Another sudden thought came to attention…



Wait…

!

If his goal is to find someone to love him back and not be lonely anymore, then…It makes sense now…

Could I be the ‘one’ that he’s looking for?

There’s absolute no way…I don’t even know for sure that he’s…

I don’t know. I shook it off, and hurried for the car.

From the window above, Sonic, with his cloak hood up, shielding himself this time, watched as the girl got into the vehicle and disappeared into the distance. A small smile formed onto his face. But a look of worry came onto him as she probably already knows about him by now, not to mention that he has his book, the one his grandfather gave him.

‘I’m just forcing myself to show her what I am, maybe I am getting too eager about this…”

He sighed. ‘She’s been through enough already, I’ll give her a break, just until tomorrow night that is….As for my book…as long as she keeps it in a safe place, something tells me I can trust her well with it.
Hey guys!

Wow two parts in one day? That was unexpected and quick. Sweating a little... :D (Big Grin)
