Chapter 7 - Episode 6: Control

After his juicy fruit meal, he sat down at the couch and pondered.

"How am I supposed to live like this...?"

Malachi walked up to him and joined beside him.

"Is there something the matter?"

Malachi asked gently, with a gentle smile on his face.

"My parents are planning to move to Italy by the end of the week, how am I supposed to receive the fruits from there?"

Angel asked, his head down in concern for his own uncontrollable bloodlust.

"Then that would be better."

Malachi implied.

"What?"

Angel asked confused.

"Currently, the other vampires are spread wide inside the western countries. Also, the academy brought up by the factions is situated there."

Malachi replied, his body fully rested on the couch.

"Wait, there are factions and an academy?"

Angel asked with curiosity.

"Mm, there are four factions including the us the vampires."

"The Vampire faction, which is us."

"The Wolf faction, I assume you already know what they are."

"The mage faction, the name speaks for itself."

"And the Hunter faction, a faction of normal humans who hates the demonic, though surprisingly we're on a neutral terms with them."

Malachi explained.

"The academy that the Unitas Alliance built is called the Unitas Institution Academy."

"An academy built to learn the abilities they obtained, discovered or inherited along with the worldly curriculum to allow you to blend inside the current society."

Malachi explained.

"You'll be able to meet people who went through the same fate as you."

Angel stood up upon hearing.

"I guess I won't have any problems in picking which school."

Angel replied with a confident smile.

"The academy is situated in the Vatican city, peace kept maintained from the society by the Hunter faction, kept hidden by the us the Vampire faction, lead by the Mage faction and under the protection of the Wolf faction."

Malachi said, rubbing the orb at the top of his cane with his fist.

"The vatican city huh..."

Angel thought to himself.

Before Angel left the mansion, Malachi gave him a bottle of processed blood fruit pills to be taken in flight.

2 days passed, Angel peered outside of the window, looking at the clouds below him.

His parents, visibly concerned about the pale light color of his skin, looked at Angel for any sign of sicknesses.

As Angel continued to look outside, he starts to be seemingly bothered by the scents entering his nostrils.

One of the traits he obtained from Cain's blood, blood scent, allowing him to smell the blood of every human, replacing the iron odor of blood into something sweet.

15 hours passed, Angel and his parents exited the plane.

They took a taxi to Rome, arriving at a house once owned by Angel's grandfather.

As soon as they arrived, the house filled with antiques yet with modern furniture.

"I'll go unpack my stuff in my room."

Angel told to his parents.

"Sure, come down once your done and help us unpack."

Inside the room in the second floor, Angel looked at the room that was once his father's, filled with the posters from the old 1980's bands and movies.

He laid down at the bed, allowing the texture of the mattress to give him comfort and relaxation after the long journey.

A day passed, after their relocation in Rome. Angel, inside his room, tried to maintain control of his body from his vampirical instincts as he releases his inner demon, his pupils faintly glows crimson red.

"Huff..huff."

He breathes heavily, trying to maintain his mental control as he drools for blood.

Soon after, he calmed down.

His control maintained as he releases partially of his true abilities, though his bodily abilities still surpasses that of an athletic human at its prime.

"I did it..."

He rested his body on the bed without losing control, his crimson eyes remains visible in control.

He deactivated his vampire state by taking 5 of the processed blood fruit pills.

Angel went outside, taking a stroll at the streets of the capital city of Italy.

"What's even the difference between here and in Japan. Just why did we have to move!"

Angel unconciously releasing his vampire state as he smashed the wall beside him in frustration and anger before unconciously deactivating it.

Hours and hours passed till the afternoon sun went down for the night

Angel, in the middle of a park, looking at the full moon.

Soon after, a man wearing a mask and clothed in a black jacket walked past by him, yet, he was different.

He didn't possess the smell of blood coming from his body.

"What the..?"

As Angel felt worried due to the man's suspicious vibe, he followed quietly from behind.

The man ended up stalking a woman through the dark park, his intentions dark and forbidden.
