She was panicking as she was scared. The last thing she wanted was to lose her husband... "Please..." She pleaded more.
Lucas looked at Wendy's face and shook his head sadly. "I wish to live too..." He said and turned to face Damon. "I want to stay with my son too. More than anything... I want to watch him grow up. I want to watch him laugh and play for a long time... I don't want him to see me like this either..." He struggled to say as blood was already dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Damon knew he was dying already, but he was in shock. He saw the notification that popped up in front of him, but he was divided. Would his father want to live even if it meant that he would become a vampire? Would he not hate him if he made him a vampire?
He had a lot of questions on his mind, and it was scary. "Dad..." He called softly, and Lucas raised his brows. "If there is a way... I mean, if there is a way for you to live even though you won't be a human anymore, will you take it?" He asked his father with bated breath.
He knew his question was crazy and his father would think of him as a crazy lad in his final moment, but the urge to protect his earthly parents took over him, and he wanted to try his best to keep them with him.
Wendy looked at him with disbelief in her eyes, but she didn't say a word as she turned to look at Lucas, who was still smiling. "Of course. If our little Marcus has a way to keep Dad alive, no matter what, Dad will turn to it, if he will still recognize his family and be able to protect our darling baby, he will gladly accept it." Lucas was trying his best to sound strong. The last thing he wanted was to sound weak at his last moment. He wanted his son to see him as a strong father to the very end.
Having gotten the answer, even though Damon was shocked by the answer, he knew he had no time and had to quickly do what he needed to do or he might lose Lucas. "I accept." He mumbled.
(Ding! You've agreed to turn human Lucas into a new being. Quickly put your blood in his mouth and let the ritual begin.)
Damon nodded his head. There was no time to think or be confused. He raised his free hand to his mouth, and at the thought, his teeth elongated, and he pierced his palm.
He placed his hand at the entrance of Lucas's mouth and let out a deep breath. "Please, drink my blood." He urged.
Lucas found everything strange, and he wondered what his son was doing, but more than that, he felt worse that he would be leaving him soon, so he wanted to do whatever his son wanted from him before he breathed his last. What was his blood that he couldn't drink if it would make him happy and not miss him too much?
Lucas opened his mouth, and the blood dropped into his mouth. Right then, he felt his insides burning aggressively, and before he knew it, the pain took over his body.
He bit his lower lip as he tried to control the pain and forced a smile on his lips. He knew at that moment that his son wasn't telling jokes when he asked that question and something was happening to his body, but he wondered what it was.
The pain went on for a while, but he tried his best to make sure none of his family found out about his pain so they wouldn't blame themselves, and soon, he felt everything calm down...
(Congratulations! You've created a halfling!)
(Power: 20%)
Damon smiled bitterly when he saw that, and before saying anything, he decided to check his power, too. He thought of it, and the screen came up to his view...
(Power: 55%)
"The blood I drank, I realized I gained 2% at times and 5% at times. It really piled up to make me this strong?"
"Lucas! Lucas!! Do you feel... better?"
He was still deep in his thoughts when Wendy's panicked voice drew him back to reality, and he quickly looked at his father. "Dad...' He called, unable to say a word to him.
Even though Lucas accepted before he did the ritual, he knew Lucas had no idea what was going to happen to him, and at most, he thought it was just a joke from a sad child who feared losing his father. Damon was scared of what Lucas would think of him from then on, and he wondered if he would still see him as his son.
Wendy grabbed Lucas's hand. "Are you awake?" She asked again.
Lucas let out a deep breath. He knew he was no longer himself, and he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask but more than that... "We need to save as many people as we can and leave here. The beasts are coming more, and we need to leave here on time, or it will be over by the time they all get here." He advised as he forced himself up from the ground.
Wendy was surprised, she wondered what was going on, but she found it hard to ask any question, either, as she knew that whatever was happening had to do with her son, and that scared her.
The family of three gathered the villagers that were still alive and ran into the forest, hoping to live a secluded and safe life in another place away from the ones trying to kill all of them.

CHAPTER 10: ATTACKED
Damon found the answer reasonable enough, and he liked it, too. More than anyone else, he knew he had to get stronger, and he was ready to do anything to do that. "Okay. I should go meet Dad. I should help them as much as I can." He said as he ran away from his mother and toward the direction where he knew his father would be. "Marcus, you are awake?""Marcus, do you feel better now?"The villagers who saw him passing asked him, but he had no time to answer any of them as he ran toward his father. "I will help you, Father." Little Damon said with a big smile on his face. Knowing that his family still accepted him despite knowing he wasn't human was something that warmed his heart, and it made him love them more. A few years later...Little Damon had grown into a 15-year-old boy, and during the last 5 years, he had tried growing his powers at every given chance. He no longer relied on blood as he didn't want to alert the people, but he would go out during the night to fight some b
CHAPTER 9: BEAST
"Marcus!" Wendy was the first to scream when he saw the metal sticking out of her son's stomach. Fear gripped her soul as she quickly rushed forward to save him, but she wasn't fast enough. Lucas ran quickly. He grabbed Damon's hand and dragged him toward himself, but he still wasn't fast enough, as the metal had been pulled out of Damon's stomach, and there was a big hole in his stomach. Damon looked at the hole in his belly, but for some reason, he wasn't scared. He raised his head to look at the creature who stabbed him from the back, and his anger grew. It was a beast... a humanoid beast but a weak one. Damon removed the knife that his father kept in his trousers and ran forward, without making a sound. He stabbed it into the neck of the beast and watched the beast fall to the ground. "It... It stabbed me from behind. It... cheated." That was the last word that came out of his mouth before he fainted, but Lucas was quick enough to grab him before he reached the ground. Wendy
CHAPTER 8: BLOOD-SUCKING BEASTS
Damon wondered why his parents weren't asking him any questions at the moment, even though he was glad it was so, as he hadn't prepared an answer yet. He knew he had to say something that would please them, or they might send him away or even kill him, calling him a monster. He helped them gather the ones who were still alive, and together, they all set out to leave the town he grew up in. Not that he had any great memory of the place anyway, and he wasn't in his right mind to miss anything. Just when he thought he wouldn't miss anyone, his mind flashed back to the small boy who saw him in the academy's hospital, and his heart raced again. "Maybe he would have gotten killed, too. I heard almost all the students were killed, and only a few were able to escape. Out of the few that escaped, they are all with us at the moment, apart from a girl, and looking at the kids, none of them look like that boy, which means he must be dead, but why do I feel strange all of a sudden? Could the b

CHAPTER 6: RAID
Damon's heart raced. He looked around in search of what had gone wrong, but he could see nothing. Looking at the bodies on the ground, he needed no one to tell him that it was the bodies of the people in his town as he knew a lot of them. "What happened here? Was this done by me? Did I become a monster while sleeping and... did this?" He panicked, but there was no way to confirm, and when he looked at his body, apart from the blood that dropped on his shirt when he was injured and Tiana's blood, there was nothing else to see. He was still on this thought when he heard screams coming from very far away from him. He frowned and turned in that direction. He thought about going there to see what was going on, but more than that, he decided to find his earthly parents first. "Are they dead too, or did they run away? They will never run away, leaving their only child, would they?" He questioned himself as he tried to think about what must be going on, but he was clueless. Without wasting
CHAPTER 5: CONFUSED
Damon was in shock. Everything seemed like a dream to him. When he saw the first notification, he thought he was starting to gain his powers as an angel back, but what was this?His face turned pale as he was in utter disbelief, but the scream of the boy woke him up, and he tried to act. He wasn't in his right mind, but one thing he knew was that people mustn't see him at that moment or he might get killed as a monster. He turned to look at Tiana, and thankfully, she was asleep. To his surprise, she had a very big smile on her face even after what he did to her, and that made Damon wonder what kind of person she was, but more than that, he knew he had to get out of the room. He turned around to look at the crying boy only to find out he had collapsed, and a loud grunt escaped from his mouth. He took a few steps forward toward the boy, and he saw that he wasn't responding. Having confirmed that, Damon escaped from the room and made his way home with red eyes... He was in a big mess.
