The Accidental Vampire

In the end, it was decided that all of them were going to take a different room of their own as money was no problem. The only problem that could be was that they had just killed two Vampires, and quite a few people knew about them, but even that wasn't a major problem since there were only two Vampires in the city.

Before killing Wang, Atlas had forced him to give some answers. By the end, Wang was so horrified that he blabbered like a parrot, telling Atlas everything about exactly how many of them there were. In the end, he even told Atlas why they came to this city and what their goals were.

It was through Wang that Atlas came to know about the crack in the Blood Council. He just found out that even in the Blood Council, not everyone was on good terms and that one of the Blood Council Members had betrayed the rest.

That was why so many vampires had gone to different cities, looking for the woman.

Through Wang, Atlas also came to know that only the two of them had come to this city and that no one else was going to come here. In that case, it didn't matter even if he killed the two of them since no one was going to know about it, at least not in the near term. That allowed them to rest for the night.

Atlas stood on the balcony in his hotel room, still unable to sleep. He was lost in some thought.

"Luna is like a human. She needs rest like the rest of us. She can also rest inside the carriage, but the problem is the Driver. We can't have two drivers since that's not enough space, and we can't keep one of them in the cabin with us. But if we have only one, we would have to stop so he could rest more often than not."

"We would need to find a solution to that problem to save some time."

After spending around an hour with his own thoughts, Atlas walked back inside the room, finally going to sleep.

The darkness started retreating as a new day arrived, and the sun started rising on the distant horizon.

The city that slept peacefully started walking up.

Atlas also woke up, slowly opening his eyes; however, as soon as his eyes opened, he was taken aback.

He wondered if he was still dreaming. If it was a dream, it was surely a realistic dream. He could see Luna's face right before his eyes. Luna appeared to be sleeping peacefully on his bed. However, if it was a dream, then why was it so realistic? He reached out his hand, touching Luna's cheeks.

The touch also felt real for some reason.

When one wanted to check if they were dreaming, they pinched their own skin, but Atlas was different. He pinched Luna's cheeks for some reason, still half asleep.

"Ouchhh." Luna cried in pain as she opened her eyes. "That hurts."

"You're real?" Atlas was wide awake now. He was sure that Luna was real! But what was she doing here?

"No, I'm a ghost here to eat you up," Luna said sarcastically. "Of course I am real!"

"What are you doing on my bed?" Atlas sat up. Not only was Luna on his bed, but he could also feel her legs were resting on top of his legs.

"I am sleeping here; what else?"

"Didn't you have a room of your own? You know full well what I'm asking." Atlas frowned.

Luna stretched her arms, letting out a yawn which made even Atlas feel like yawning.

"I had a room of my own, but I felt scared at night. I came to your room since I didn't want to be alone at night." Luna explained. "You really had to wake me up, didn't you? I wanted to sleep longer."

"What were you feeling scared of? You're literally from one of the strongest Empires that threaten even this world. And you were scared?" Atlas had a feeling that Luna was using this as an excuse. He knew that she probably had feelings for Castiel, and that's why she came to this room, but Atlas didn't want to misuse those feelings.

Lilith knew that he was Atlas, so her interactions were really interactions with him, but Luna? She believed he was Castiel and not Atlas. All her actions were for Castiel, who she believed had lost his memories. He had a feeling that if he wanted to sleep with Luna, she wasn't going to say no, but he didn't even think about it.

He got off the bed. "Anyway, you can sleep for a bit longer if you want. I don't mind."

Atlas stood up and dressed up appropriately before leaving. "I am going for a walk. Meet me outside after thirty minutes. I'll inform Lancaster and Lilith on the way as well."

He opened the door to leave, only to find Lilith there, who was about to knock on the door.

"Luna is missi-"

Lilith came here to inform Atlas that Luna was not in her room, but as soon as she saw past Atlas, she saw Luna lying on Atlas' bed.

"It seems I disturbed you two. I apologize."

Lilith didn't know why, but she felt somewhat upset seeing Luna with Atlas. There was a really uncomfortable feeling in her heart. She turned around and started leaving without speaking a single word more.

"Wait!" Atlas closed the door and rushed after Lilith. "I think you have a wrong idea of what happened!"

He caught up to Lilith, holding her by hand. "I had no idea she was going to be in my room. When I woke up..."

He explained the entire situation. "I didn't even touch her. In fact, when I was leaving the room, you came!"

He didn't want Lilith to think that he was a pervert who went around sleeping with a woman who thought him to be someone else. It was unclear if that was his only motivation behind telling Lilith the truth…
