Cursed blood

Venezia, Italy, around the year 1000

A group of young slaves were shackled and led through the streets into the port to board the ships and sail for the conquest under the banner of Doge Pietro II Orseolo. Orseolo led expeditions to secure Venice's influence along the Dalmatian coast, helping to protect Venice's trade routes from pirate attacks and solidifying Venice's control over the Adriatic.

Everyone who was in debt all around the Venezia was immediately sold off to be a slave no matter their status. Everyone above fifteen years old was in the heat of the sinner and scorching heat from the city staffed into the ships.

Deep in the valley of the city was one of the side streets laying beaten-up girls. She was lying in her blood naked, not being able to move. Few people saw her there, but no one did anything to help her or send someone to help her.

As the day went by, dark came quite slowly and the hear from the street calmed down a little. A gentle breeze starts moving through the streets bringing with him salt from the ocean. Along with the seawater, birds begin to gather around the girl trying to scavenge as much as possible.

Blood around the girl was already dried up as well as on her body. Only thanks to this salty wake-up girl slowly opened her eyes. She was not able to move, only felt as if her body was beaten up to the highest level.

She had blood in her eyes, and with all her strength rolled on her whipped back. She didn't even have the strength to scream from the pain. She was watching now rising Luna thinking what could have happened differently. She had no idea why she got beaten up like that, but if no one would help her she would not be able to leave. As she was thinking if someone would come or not, someone blocked her view of the night sky.

"How pathetic... Completely human."

The girl looked instead at the night sky at a nearly two-meter-tall man who was completely covered in black looking at her with his bright red eyes and blocking her view. She wanted to answer him, but instead of sound came more blood.

"You want to say something to me?"

After a bit more silence, he moved closer to her.

"I can help you with that, but you will need to lose something for it. And also you will need to suffer for it. If you want to, tell me your name and I will help you."

"Karvl.. Kar.. Clara."

The stranger smiled at Clara and grabbed her by the shoulder. In the instant, Clara was in the air and he put her on his shoulder. Before she could react, they moved extremely quickly and rushed into the port. They quickly border small gondolas and sail in the open sea. It took them nearly half an hour and they arrived at the small-looking villa on one of the islands right next to the city.

As soon as they ported, they left the ship and went inside. All around the villa were standing servants and none of them moved. They completely ignored them and went inside, were already waiting for servants and both Clara and the man went into the first floor, where was the master bedroom.

After placing Clara on the bed, servants quickly arrived and started cleaning her up. She tried to resist the servant girls, but she had no chance to do anything to stop them. They were inhumanly quick and precise, so they were done very quickly.

"Now you are ready to get a new better life, Clara. After the ritual, you will be a pure-blood vampire from the original. I am one of the original vampires. I am unlike you, I originally can't die if I am exposed to the sun, but that doesn't mean that I can't be killed. This is one of my abilities. The other one is the power over other vampires. I can control other vampires as I wish. Once you turn and survive, if you manage to survive you will perform the ritual and you will serve me as an elder. On the other hand, you will have an ability. I am curious what kind of ability you will have. Usually, the ability is relayed to your deep desires of the person when he or she was still human. From now on you can also call me Lord."

Clara was not able to listen to him, because he was talking much more faster than she could listen, and before the Lord finished she already went unconscious, so the Lord didn’t wait for anything and cut his wrist to start pouring his blood in Clara’s mouth.

After he felt that he bled enough for Clara, he stopped. In no time Clara’s completely beaten-up body started to twitch and someone with a very keen eye could see, that her body was starting to heal.

"Prepared everything to leave. Once she is in the state to move and feed for the first time we will leave. I saw them in the city in the day. We need to be prepared for emergencies and the possibility that they are here with the hunter. If someone in a high place arrives"

Everyone noted and everyone who was in the room vanished. Lord was watching Clara for a second until she started twitching more and more and then, he shacked her with ridiculously huge shackles.

After Clara was bound and secured completely naked to the bed. Just after Clara was bound more than enough for someone who looked like a beaten piece of meat than a human being, she started to wake up, but not in the that how someone would want to.

Clara started waking up, but her waking was much more brutal than usual. Blood of the Lord vampire already spread through her body killed her, and brought her back to life. She was not in her right mind trying to get out of bed as forcibly as possible. Fortunately for her, she was not able to move an inch.

At the same time, someone knocked on the doors into the bedroom.

“Come in and give in on the wall.”

Doors opened and a large servant with quite a beautiful slave without any bruises and in very good shape. The servant picked him in one hand and placed him on the wall with already prepared chains. With few quick movements, he was secured on the wall, and then he and the vampire Lord left them to their faith.
