Okay, and it seems that of planned one-shot, this project would be at least 3-4 chapters length. That's right, in each part, I'm planning to add a some of more important events in Isaac's life and how these for better or worse changed his character and, lastly, how it leaded to become into current Isaac. So, in this chapter it would be about Hector's and Isaac first encounter in the forest and the beginning of their relationship.
Dear, as always,
Enjoy!
Chapter 2. Cursed Orphans
Ever since that day when Isaac and Hector find their way to the Dracula’s castle, they were attached by the invisible string of fate. Both have their hardships and been treated as they were the off-springs of the devil and brought the misfortune to anyone they met. That’s right, despite that they were just children, but they were already been despised and abused even by their own parents. It seemed that the whole world was against these boys, including the god himself, who abandoned them since their birth. However, at the most desperate moment, a voice from above addresses them. Yet, it wasn’t the call of an angel. It was the tempting devil’s whisper, which by the darkest time sounded like a salvation. Meanwhile, the redhead boy in his early thirteens accepted the kind offer without a second thought and followed that voice. When the snow-white haired youngster in his early teen years hesitated at first, yet with bursting into tears escapes his home.
Somewhere deep into the woods~ A red-haired boy wearing a long whole-body covering cloak was wondering in the never-ending forest. Yet, young Isaac knew that if he carefully listens, then a guiding voice will tell him where to go. So, with that in mind, he continues his long journey. However, all of a sudden, this redhead alerts upon hearing a roar of the wild beast. Of course, he widens his eyes and freezes at the same spot for a second. Despite that without realizing, his body started to move towards the direction of the deadly predator. It was like he was drawn closer by a mysterious force, wanted to show him something important.
As the cloaked boy was getting closer, he notices behind nearly dried out bushes an enormous furry beast. Could it be one of these famed werewolves? That tall creature having a brown fur and sharp as razors fangs surely reminded that mythical monster, which seeks for a naive traveler to become its mere snack. However, now the same demon’s voice, who asked him to leave his dark past behind him, whispers to Isaac ‘‘It is your chance to prove your worthiness to us. Will you be able to stand against this low-rank dog? Kill this beast and you will be rewarded. Do not disappoint me, child…’’.
How in the world someone small and weak can defeat such a ferocious armed with fangs and claws monster? Unfortunately, there was no time to waste for second thoughts. More so, as the werewolf impatiently moves its pitch-black nails, this creature opens widely its big mouth. At this moment, as aggressively this werewolf licks its razor sharp fangs, the saliva harshly hits the ground. Now the nightmarish monster fixates its blood-thirsty gaze on its found prey. Apparently, it was nearly the same age boy as Isaac, who had curly platinum hair and wore the same body-covering cloak. However, he was lying on his stomach without consciousness, yet it looked like he was unharmed by the wild beast. Perhaps, he might only faint from hunger or exhaustion. But none of that matter at the moment. All Isaac’s fears disappeared as his eyes sparkles with determination to eliminate his spotted enemy. If he doesn't defeat this blood-thirsted monster, then not only that boy will die, but he is as well. So, while this beast was distracted, Isaac quickly scans his surroundings - there were nothing useful around him aside small tree branches around him.
However, his eyes brightens upon spotting a more or less straight and sturdy-looking tree branch with a sharp tip. When the redhead takes it into his hands, he smiles wide as a Cheshire’s cat. That should do it, or so he thought while aiming at the wild-beast. Here it comes, adds this boy before charging attack. As Isaac rushes with his war-cry through the bushes ‘‘HAAAAAH!’’ he points directly at this creature’s back. Yet, the werewolf suddenly turns back. However, its reaction was too slow. Now this monster howls in defying scream. The dark blood starts to flow like a stream out of this beast, but it wasn’t over yet.
This beast immediately turns to face the impostor, who attacked him, and now slashes with its nails. Fortunately, Isaac managed to dodge without taking too much of damage. Yet, the redhead could feel his own pulsing heartbeat inside his ears. Now the boy closes his eyes and stabs his opponent's chest. Lastly, the wild creature howls before collapsing and getting pierced by a bloody branch. Yet, the redhead boy escapes from being crushed by a dead beast. Nevertheless, as Isaac widens his eyes and roughly pants, he was shocked how, and when did he get such an amount of inhumane strength? But for now, Isaac decides to checks on that silver-head. After he bends down, the redhead shakes this boy’s shoulders ‘‘Hey! You’re okay? Wake up!’’. No answer. So, as he frowns, Isaac adds in irritated tone ‘‘You’re alive or not? Get up already…’’. However, as this silver-head starts to groan, he receives an avalanche of the same person, who saved him ‘‘Finally, I thought that you were dead. But who are you? And what are you doing in such a place?’’.
At this moment, Isaac gives a proud look as he continues ‘‘You know, you were lucky that I have shown up in good timing. So, you better be thankful.’’ and stretches his hand towards the boy. However, that piercing yet calm gaze by these deep blue eyes, for some reason made the redhead lad crack a nervous smile. Now Isaac adds in slightly shaky voice ‘‘You don’t need to stare at me like that. I have no reason to fight you. Anyway, the name is Isaac. And you?’’. In the end, the curly silver-head accepts the hand of the help and as both stands up, he replies in quit tone ‘‘… Hector.’’. However, it seems that this Hector person just silently waits how the other fellow going to act, and that started to get on the redhead's nerves. Yet, Isaac only holds tighter Hector's hand and while begins to walk, prompts "Let's go. Or you're planning to stay over here? You can explain the rest as we go.".
As this couple continues their journey, the redhead speaks up ''Say, Hector, what were you doing here? Did you get lost? If I wasn’t on an important journey, I would help you find your home." . ‘‘You don’t need to. I don’t have it anymore…’’ replies in gloomier tone Hector. Isaac only widens his eyes and turns back to face this curly silver-head, who continued ‘‘I’m a bad person. So, that’s why town people hates me. I simply ran away so that I won’t bring any harm or misfortune to anyone. Besides, that voice inside my head couldn’t shut up until I left my hometown…’’.
Of course, it was followed by this redhead boy rising his one eye-brow ‘‘A voice? What do you mean by that?’’. Hector replies ‘‘ That voice usually appears when I can’t take it anymore and tells me that I don’t belong to live with the people, who are near me. Then, that I should escape as soon as possible because there is a place where I belong and welcome. I-I tried to shake that off my mind, but it keeps haunting me. So, I ran away and ran, and ran until I couldn’t anymore, and ended up here.’’. Now he was prepared for the worst and waited how the redhead will act. However, it seems that Isaac’s face brightens and now filled with excitement ‘‘You too could hear it? That’s great! So, you and me are not so different, after all. Then, let’s go! I can’t wait to meet that kind and generous person, who invited us. Come on, we can rest when we’ll arrive!’’ and now once again he took Hector’s hand and now continues their journey with such an enthusiasm, meanwhile his companion just keeps his calm face.
A good hour has passed~ It seems that this couple finally reached their destination point, or so, Isaac assumed. Apparently, they were in front of the bridge, which leads to the enormous castle. Even the atmosphere around this place was heavily menacing and grim. Despite that, the redhead carelessly walks further without any sense of danger and prompts his friend ‘‘So, this is our new home? ... You’re going to stand here all night? We don’t want to make the master of this castle to keep waiting for too long, do we?’’. Now he adds in a comforting tone ‘‘You have no reason to be afraid. I know that no one will hurt us here. So, we are finally safe. Besides, we have each other, right? ’’. And thus, this was not only the new page of Isaac’s and Hector’s new life, but also a beginning of innocent friendship.
A/N: Ooh boi, now not sure whenever I should continue this story because on next chapter you could expect how these two's friendship started to develop into a one-sided rivalry. But for now, I would prepare a special chapter before May 13th for Vampire's Kiss. So, only after that I may continue this story. So, for now,
As always - See you next time!~
