Reliving A Nightmare
A young Jonathan before his eyes went black. He was running through the streets of a village close to his home in Romania. He was looking for his mother, who had been taken here by the villagers. He would run into the town square, where he found her. The villagers have tied her to a giant wooden cross in the middle of the town with torches. He saw one man who looked like a priest for the church in this town. The Priest was speaking something to the crowd. His mother looked around at everyone, scared, but she looked more horrified when she saw Jonathan hiding nearby. The Priest makes a gesture with his hand and commands them, “Burn this devil woman to hell!”
The Villagers throw their torches at her, and they begin to burn the cross; Jonathan watches in horror as he sees his mother burn to death, and he hears her scream as she is burned alive. Jonathan was scared and had tears running down his face. But he watches as The Villagers turn to him as they are going after him next. He would back up to a wall before he screamed in anger.
Jonathan wakes up in a forest outside of London as he screams from the nightmare he just had of the day he watched his mother die.
“I will kill all of you!” Jonathan shouted before he realized it was only a dream as he awoke from his nightmare of the day his mother died. He saw that the fire he had started earlier was still burning. He got up and put another log on it to keep it going. He managed to patch himself up from his fight with Ludwig.
“I guess it was just a dream. It has been a while since I had to relive that nightmare. Probably that fool’s fault that I had it.”
After their fight, he would go into his right pocket and take out the strange statue he had taken from Ludwig.
“I will keep them safe, Mother,” Jonathan promised his mother, as they were the only family he had left. He sees it is turning dawn as the sun is about to rise. But he would suddenly hear a buzzing noise, a large one. He would turn his gaze and see a giant black fly creature flying above him. It lands next to his campsite, and he watches it come closer. This giant fly creature was a minion of Jonathan’s father, Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies.
“Why would you come here?” Jonathan questioned.
“You found the statue? Your father seemed furious when your brother took it.” Beelzebub looked at him.
Jonathan shows the statue in his left hand to it.
“Great. Now you can return it to your father,” Beelzebub cheered.
“I only have one problem with that,” Jonathan says, putting it away in his pocket.
He gets up and draws his sword, and in the blink of an eye, he manages to cut off a couple of limbs of Beelzebub. It falls in pain and starts to bleed out.
“Why would you?” Beelzebub questioned in pain.
“Simple, to send a message to my father. If he wants this statue, he has to pry it from my cold, dead hands,” Jonathan glared at it, sending fear into the creature.
Beelzebub starts to fly off to tell his master what Jonathan has told him.
“I think it’s time I get moving,” Jonathan sheathed his sword and kicked dirt in the fire to take it out. He would leave this area and stay away from London for a while.
Ludwig and Jay returned to the Frye Manor. He was all bandaged up, and he could feel his reattached middle right finger on his hand.
“Thank the maker. I survived that doctor’s trip,” Ludwig said with relief.
“So, what was worse, the doctor or Jonathan?” Jay was curious.
“Jonathan, I am still wondering why I went to fight that Vampire in the first place,” Ludwig said.
They see Alucard and Liam come as they hear their voices.
“Lord Frye, you have returned and are in worse shape than when you left,” Alucard said, observing his new injuries.
“Yes, you know I was surprised I lived that ordeal as he wanted to kill me,” Ludwig said, reliving his battle.
“You are a tougher lad than I’d expected. He mopped the floor with us with a kitchen utility with ease,” Liam impressed.
“Well, Miss Victoria was not pleased when she found out you went to fight Jonathan,” Jay tells Ludwig.
“Ah, yeah. It was not like I could tell her I would go fight her older brother,” Ludwig explained.
“Anyway, you should go rest for now,” Jay ordered.
“Yes, sir. I shall be a good, rich little boy and sleep my pain away,” Ludwig joked.
“Good,” Jay said with relief.
“You two are in charge of hunting at night until my wounds have healed. Please, don’t destroy my city now?” Ludwig asked Alucard and Liam.
“You can count on us, Lord Frye,” Alucard reassured him.
“It depends on how big the next beast is, lad,” Liam said.
They would all go their separate ways for now.
