Chapter 3 2

His whole body shook, he could feel the way life was coming back into his body and how every vein, every muscle and every organ was getting filled with blood as it rushed through every crevice and corner of his whole body. He groaned in so much pain as his body stretched and he wondered where he was and why was it so tight for his body? With one push of his hand, it opened and he stared at the pitch darkness of wherever he was. Everything came back to him, the memories, the day...he wasn't going to think about that day yet.

He just had to...get out of here first. And get some blood to feast on. With the reflection of his eyes, he got up from the coffin and turned around into the room he had been kept for years he wasn't sure yet. He began to walk out, he had known this room when he was just a small boy. His father had brought him there on days he wanted to lecture him after something so important that he didn't want anyone to hear. When he was the vampire Prince, Ammar.

His name sounded so alien to him, he thought he had forgotten his name. As he pushed the door with all the power he had got, it broke down in front of him and he walked on top of it. He had to get to the palace, to show the world that the vampire Prince had resurrected from the dead! His father told him he would when he was on the verge of dying and it happened that he did. He wanted to see his father, show him that he had fulfilled his promise and they could now go get their revenge!

As he walked through the dark and long corridor, his eyes roaming around the place that had once been always lit with fire but it now felt like a graveyard, he wondered how much time had passed for everything to change this way. He would have to find that out, but for now, he needed blood to sustain his years of bloodthirsty. He met some guards as they rushed to check where the sounds he had made while waking up were coming from, and when they saw him, in an attire even their king couldn't lay his hands on, they froze.

"Who are you?!" One of the guards asked, pointing his gun at Ammar that he had to look at it for a moment, wondering what that was. With one glance at them, he knew they were vampires but this was no time for that, he had to feed on them.

One of them walked toward him and in a single swift, Ammar had his mouth on his neck and he sucked all the blood in him before he threw his body. The other ones came until there was left only one of them and before he killed him, his rough voice grumbled. "Which year is it?"

His sharp fangs were already on his throat, and the guard realized that he could never compare his strength with that of this strange man that practically came out of nowhere. "It's 2019." His eyes flashed as though he had heard something so horrific, his bloodthirst was taking a toll on him but he had to find all the information he needed before killing the last of them. "Who's your king now?"

"King Luke..." he wasn't able to close his mouth when he etched his fangs into his neck and sucked up all the blood in him. He threw them away as he walked further into the palace. King Luke, who was that? And where was his father? Did this mean everyone he knew was dead? He said the year 2019, which simply meant, he had been dead for 500 years now.

What had happened to the Phaya Empire while he was gone?! Had his family been long dead in the 500 years he had been dead?! He walked faster now, he wanted to see who the king was and what had happened to their empire. On his way to the main palace, Ammar realized that everything was the same, the structure of the building but not the building, the furniture, everything had changed. But he could feel that it was his home. Just now taken over by some Luke of a guy.

He had killed many guards to count on his way to the palace and when he had reached, instead of the statue of his father that had stood gallant at the entrance, he saw the statue of a man that he had developed a sudden bloodthirst for, and so he strode into the palace, sucking blood and killing whoever got in his way until he stood in front of King Luke, the royal members all stood up as they wondered who he was.

"Who are you?" One of them asked, and when he enigmatically turned to look at him, as his eyes shone with nothing but venom, they all took a step back.

King Luke pulled out a sword beside him and pointed it at Ammar, "How dare you barge into my palace this way?! Who the hell are you?!"

"I'm Ammar Stoutblood, the only prince of the Phaya Empire 500 years ago. And now, I'm the Vampire King of the Phaya Empire."

"How dare you!" King Luke shouted and before his next words came out, Ammar had pulled his throat out of his neck and was happily sucking his blood as though it were juice. When he was done, he threw his body to the door and sat on the throne, placing the crown he had taken off King Luke body.
