11 chapter 10: Witch Hunter

New York 1914,

Inside a bar, Everything looked dark and creepy a bit more due to being nighttime. There were no customers except the owner with no care in the world silently humming and reading a book behind the counter. 

The owner was in her 30s, with tan skin, and long black hair. suddenly her joyous mood was disturbed by the ring of the doorbell.

Ding! Ding...

A handsome-looking young man wearing a loose white T-shirt, cargo pants, and a black jacket walked into the bar with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry the bar's closed for the day." the owner replied with a normal smile.

"It's alright darling I'm not here for the drinks. I'm here for you witch." the young man replied with a bit of a playful and arrogant tone.

Both of them just stood there and stared at each other. the woman starts to panic, and the air in the room becomes tense.

"What do you want." tightly clenching her hands the woman asks.

"Wrong question, the question is who am I? My name is Adam Smith." Adam replied with a smirk on his face but there was no reaction from the woman. knowing that the woman didn't recognize him Adam gave it another shot.

"Ok let's try it again from the beginning shall we."

"My name is Adam Smith. I'm the Heretic Vampire." as Adam completed the last words his eyes started to turn red and shone a bit in the room. The lights inside the room started to flicker.

The woman was shocked, her entire body was shivering as soon as she heard the name 'Heretic'. Suddenly the woman started to run towards the back door of the bar but before she could take another step she froze in the place.

Adam walked towards the woman and looked into her eyes.

"Well this makes things simple." looking at her, he bit his hand and the blood started to drip. He placed his hand near her mouth and made her drink his blood.

"No please.." the woman kept struggling trying to regain her freedom but all she could do was nothing.

Snap!!

After his blood entered her body, Adam killed her by snapping her neck. He calmly walked towards the counter took a bourbon bottle and started drinking.

After a few minutes..

Suddenly the woman woke up and was a bit shocked." What did you do to me." confused as to what happened the woman asked Adam.

"Well Darling, you died and now you are in transition," Adam replied still drinking not even glancing at her.

"You turned me but why, you only kill witches," she screamed at Adam with rage, clearly her emotions were not in control.

Adam gets up from his place and approaches her slowly and as he does, he starts to speak

"Well you see Darling, I don't exactly kill witches it's just I turn them into my own hybrids. You don't seem to understand."

Adam crouched and looked into the eyes of the woman, who was currently lying on the floor and was shocked at his words but also confused.

"How could it be possible once a witch turns into a vampire? She loses her powers it is not possible to retain their powers." The woman clearly did not believe Adam's words.

"Why don't I just prove it to you? Looks like my company has arrived." Adam looked towards the door and smiled.

Ding!!

A woman walks through the door dragging a man along with her.

"Emily you are late. you were supposed to be here like 10 minutes ago." Adam complains to Emily a bit angry at her.

"I wouldn't have been late. If you hadn't made a mess at the restaurant. I had to bury almost thirty people. Next time why don't you clean up your own mess." sharing Adam's words Emily burst into anger and threw the body at him.

"Now don't be angry. I apologize it's my fault but you have to understand when you have more than a dozen hybrids sired to please me no matter what. I could just leave it to them." Adam swiftly doges and apologizes to her and tries to reason with her.

Ignorning their banter, the woman was attracted man who was bleeding, the closer she got the harder it became for her to control the temptation finally she gave up and attacked him. The moment she drank blood she completed the transition and her eyes started to turn red, her fangs started to appear and she could feel magic inside her.

"Looks like you were in a rush," Adam spoke looking at the woman who was completely turned into a full-fledged hybrid.

"What's your name Darling."

"I'm Christine" Christine answered with a dazed look on her face as if she was in a trance.

"Well, Christine do you happen to know any witch settlements and where they are located," Adam questions Christine looking into her eyes.

"I don't know whether it's true or not but I've heard that there is a large witch community in New Orleans." After answering Adam's question Christine snaps out of the dazed look and looks at Adam.

"What did you do to me." Shocked at how she was compelled she asks

"I didn't do anything Christine it's just you're sired by my blood. So you are completely loyal to me. Adam simply answers her and looks at Emily.

I walked near Emily "I want you to stay here along with others, use our government connections, and find all the information you can get about New Orleans. Then meet me at Mystic Falls see you then."

After saying what he had to say and gave his orders to Emily. Adam just vamped out of there towards Mystic Falls. Giving one last look at Adam she also took Christine away from here. Before leaving she also burned the whole place.

....

Next day morning,

inside the Graveyard of Mystic Falls, Adam stood in front of his parent's grave and thought about the past and how things changed for him.

In 1864, he became a Heretic with both vampirism and his magic abilities. The letter he got from RoB explained a few rare perks he got, one was I could turn witches into Vampiric Witches with my blood. Two, anyone turned by my blood will be sired to me, which should have been rare but not to me. 

Just the next day after I became a vampire I couldn't control my blood lust but thankfully being far away from the town and also not having a daylight ring saved me from massacring everyone but still using magic. I found Emily just before she was about to be captured by people to be burned alive. I turned her into a Vampire-witch Hybrid to test and it was successful. She still hates me for turning her.

After that, I moved out of Mystic Falls mainly to control my blood lust and also I didn't want to harm my brother. I thought with time I could control it but I was wrong, with magic I had it on a leash and also started looking for witches at first it was hard years passed but I was able to get more than thirty witches. Now I know where an entire community of witches exists.

I didn't just find witches. I also extended my claws into the government knowing humans can make nuclear bombs. I started to get hold of the government and also started my newspaper. I also discovered my Grimoire locations, most of the time I was just studying and recently I was able to create a life spell. I cast this spell on a ring and always wore it. If by chance someone kills me then this spell gets activated and brings me back to life. But to create this ring a life needs to be sacrificed in return.

Currently, a few days ago I received news from the hybrid in Mystic Falls to protect my brother and his family that my brother had fallen ill.

Walking out of the cemetery, Adam slowly walked around the town remembering the old days by the time he reached home it was already evening.
