Bloody Emperor - Chapter 2 Family

Nero, still seeing nothing but dark, felt a soft touch on his foot. A tiny cold hand was lightly pinching his skin.

“Come on! get up, big brother!!”

He heard the cute and annoying voice of his little sister.

“Mom said today would be great. She is right now preparing your 17 old birthday party!!”
for visiting.

Amelie continued pulling her blanket and then climbed into bed on top of Nero.

Nero was forced to turn around and open his eyes to find his beautiful little sister looking at him with those brilliant cute cat eyes. Amelie had 5.2 feet, long white hair, and beautiful red eyes inherited from her mother as well as Nero. Amelie was thin, with a girlish figure still having so much to grow. She was adorable in her 14 old years.

Always being treated as Nero’s most precious treasure, Amelie has always loved that brother more than anything. She trusted him and believed that nothing in this world could hurt their family, and they could ever live together with much love and happiness.

“What does my very cute little princess want so early?”

Nero thought it was bizarre to say “early” as vampires sleep in the day and wake up around 6:00 pm, but that was normal for his race.

“Mouu b-big brother, let’s go for a walk around the village and play in the river.”

Amelie blushed as she spoke. She loved being called ‘cute’ by Nero, but she was always embarrassed to be spoiled by him, even though she loves it.

“Ara Ara~~. You two always have fun without me!!”

A beautiful mature woman with 5,57 feet came into Nero’s room with a melodic voice that made the sibling’s hearts fill with love and affection.

Vanessa was like a mature version of Amelie. Nero’s mother, a charming perfect woman who could touch the heart of everyone in the universe. So you can imagine how beautiful Nero and Amelie are, having such a mother. Nero did not know what his mother saw in his father, and she always says that his benevolence to think about the good of everyone before himself was a very noble character, and that moved her.

“M-Mom!! You know that are both my favorites.”

Nero did not like parties; he was always reclusive, only meeting with beautiful ladies to flirt and have sex without engagement. He wanted to keep all the love and affection he could for his family, not only this cute pair of mother and daughter but also his good father, who always worked hard himself for the safety of the family and clan.

“Yes, yes, I know, dear. Amelie, let your brother get ready, today we will celebrate Nero’s 17th birthday with the whole family.”

His mother and father wanted to have a party to celebrate their birthday, but also because times were going so well, no problem with humans or elves.

Soon night came, and the party was going very lively until dawn. With an hour to the sun, everyone began to say goodbye.

Nero’s father and mom watched Amelie cling to him, not letting the young girls flirt with him.

“Julius, don’t you pity him for having to carry this cute burden all his life?

Vanessa spoke with raised eyebrows and a smile on her face, finding every Amelie show very fun.

“As if you don’t know how he loves and spoils his little sister. You’re jealous that you didn’t have such a good brother, hahahahah…”

Julius enjoyed his family more than anything, so he worked so hard for all vampires to have the same happiness as him. He had a broad smile on his face, seeing the pair of brother-sister dancing at the end of the party until a horrible feeling went through his mind when he heard an exploding sound.

It was all so fast, the castle walls falling, the ground shaking. The vampire castle was a very protected village. Not only did humans have better technology, but vampires also used theirs to boost their defenses. Around the entire town and castle were several layers of defensive barriers, the whole foundation of the houses an incredibly durable alloy of steel and stone. The castle is even stronger, but humans have used all-new generation ballistic power specially made to destroy the vampire village.

But it was no use, and everything was falling, dust and stone falling from the roof. Chaos engulfed everyone in the room. Julius, with his quick thought, shouted for Vanessa to stand beside Nero and Amelie as he ran out. Passing Nero, he looked into his son’s eyes with determination and love.

“Protect your mother and sister. Whatever happens, you three must survive. I will try to stop this madness! ”

Julius left, leaving Nero hugging his mother and sister, along with other young men and women in the hall. Nero wanted to go with his father to help, but in an unknown attack, they had to stay in groups to protect themselves. Nero was afraid like never before, but he didn’t care that something happens to him. All he feared was not being able to protect his loved ones.

He feared for his father but could not leave his mother and sister, who was trembling in his arms. Soon two vampires came back and said it was a human attack. Julius was fighting ground troops that came with silver weapons and ultraviolet ray grenades. Julius and the strongest vampires were killing many humans, but they always came more. And soon, the vampires were slowly dying. Nero wanted to go to his father’s side, but his mother told him to trust Julius and not let them.

Nero blamed himself for being weak and could do nothing for vampires. He was not at all weak for his age, but the vampires needed a lot of blood to get stronger and stronger. And he, as they lived in peace, fed only not to die and not to strengthen himself. So only those over the years would vampires be powerful.

At that moment, Nero, he began to think that if he devoured many humans and was a brutal and cruel beast, he would have a horrible life but could protect his family. He would willingly sacrifice himself to protect this family that only gave him love and affection.

Nero began to think of blood; his fangs began to grow and itch, his nails already twice as big as hard as the stiffer steel. Nero’s heartbeats sped up, he began to hear better, smell better, his vision applauding by the second. Vampire senses were far more potent than other races, but he could improve more and more as the vampire sucked blood. So all he could think of was blood and killing the damn humans.

Soon a thudding sound was heard bringing Nero back to reality and seeing his father who opened the doors of the hall, his eyes full of tears of blood, his mutilated body, without one arm, with silver fragments and cuts all over his body.

“S-Soryyyy!! I failed as a leader and as a father. Humans are many, and we are surrounded. You have to try to run aw-”

Julius could not finish speaking when he was struck by a silver flash that exploded his head, spilling blood everywhere. Vanessa and Amelie screamed, bleeding from their eyes. Nero had released them both when he saw his father and was running for help when halfway there, he saw bits of his father flying across the walls and splattering blood on him.

Nero’s mind went into shock, and he didn’t know what to do. His heartbeats fast, he wanted to cry, but the sadness was mixed with anger and madness. Nero stopped working for less than a second, but it seemed like hours until his voice pulled him out of his trance.

“I have to protect my mother and sister ”

It all happened so fast when Nero went to help his father, Amelie run after him too. Nero saw humans coming from outside the hall with guns. He turned when he saw Amelie rushing toward him. At that moment, once more, fear overcame all the others when he could no longer understand how he could be so terrified that his soul trembled.

“Amelieeeeeeee!!!! ”

Nero shouted as loud as he could; he wished he could push her away with his voice if he could. Nero knew he couldn’t live if something happens to his little sister, who he loved so much more than his own life.

“Bi- ”

Amelie couldn’t finish calling her sweet, beloved ‘big brother’ when her blood splashed on Nero’s face. There was almost nothing left of her small upper body. The silver bolt pierced Amelie in front of Nero, and that image will haunt Nero for the rest of eternity, like the moment he failed the most important thing in his life.

With his hand raised in the direction that Amelie was coming from, Nero could slowly see the rest of her body falling, how he felt the heat of the blood on his face, that smell. Even her blood smelled of roses. Smell as sweet as that cute little sister. Nero could hear it that was an annoying but soft and lovely voice that he could never hear again.

“Gaa-aaarr-rrrrrrr!!!!!…”

Nero screamed like the worst and most terrible beast in existence. He was bleeding from all the holes. It was not known which was more intense, the sadness or the anger.

The coming human soldiers were terribly afraid of that infernal scream. Even the remaining vampires were afraid to freeze their souls.

Only Vanessa, who cried all the blood in her body, could understand the pain Nero felt for losing his beloved little sister. At that moment, Venessa knew it was the end of family and race. She felt nothing but unbearable pain that could kill anyone just imagining.

But she had to act fast when she saw the frightened soldiers throwing all the grenades they had in hand into the hall. She knew that anything would be lethal to all vampires. She had to use her last breath to give Nero at least one last hope.

“Mom…” Nero felt his mother’s hug in the darkest hour, her heat trying to enter his body and rescue his soul that was lost in despair.

Vanessa covered Nero’s body with her own. And it jumped to the ground as the grenades exploded, leading soldiers and vampires to their deaths in a mess of blood and flesh.

Nero, woke up still dizzy with a loud humming in the head of the explosions. He had to push rubble and some human bodies that didn’t explode with silver-like vampires. He didn’t see or hear anyone. The flashes of memory of his father, sister, and mother dying still flashing through his mind. A blood-stained white bow fell over her shoulder. It was from Amelie, and she liked cute black and white maid costumes.

There was no life in this castle; he did not feel alive. Nero wanted to die the worst possible death, and he felt more angry with himself than with humans. After all, he, as a vampire, could be strong drinking a lot of blood and protecting his family like that.

But there is no remedy for regret. Nero cried all his blood on the cold floor of what remained of the castle. Memories of his family, all the love he had, and how they died in front of him, and he could do nothing.

Nero was in shock, and his body didn’t work. His mind in pieces. He was in a pit of despair, his soul mad with anger at him, forcing him to review the scenes of his dying loved ones.

“You have not suffered enough!!!”

Nero heard a voice that sounded both him and not him either.

“You need to understand that only by being brutal and relentless can you make those who killed your family pay.”

“You have to embrace the pain, all this suffering, and it will strengthen you … so you can erase humanity from existence… ”

The voice said and continued to show the death of his family over and over, in slow motion, with zoon and every angle.

That torture is too much for Nero to resist. Not only him, but anyone in the universe, even the Real Gods of legend, would break if you showed them losing everything they loved even though life itself, over and over and over.

But then the voice spoke a sentence that moved Nero. He felt that was all that was left for him.

“These memories of them dying … use this, carry them with you, not only the bad memories. Carry all their memories and. KILL !!! ”

“Kill all humans, drink all their blood … for you … for your family … for your race … for your little sister …”

“Kill everything and everyone, and show the universe how important their loved ones were, and make the souls of those who hurt them suffer in eternity… an eternity of pain and suffering… for their deaths…”

“I am the ‘DARK SOUL STONE.’ Together we can absorb the souls of your enemies and make them never see anything but the worst suffering of existence.”

“YES!! I accept that, let’s give humanity an end worse than any hell.”

Nero answered his voice in his head, which made a sinister laugh that would make his soul shiver if it wasn’t for already his soul that was laughing.
