Multiverse: by Nick Venomz (best books to read for beginners .txt) 📕

Why me? She questioned in her mind. What did I deserve to earn this life? All because I was born a vampire? Why? Why couldn’t… Why couldn’t I have been born a human? Born normal? Then, maybe my parents would still be alive. I could have a normal family. I wouldn’t be cursed like this. I wouldn’t be hiding under blankets from monsters. I wouldn’t be targeted. She sobbed as the wolves approached her, jumping up the ladder and approaching her. Why? Why? WHY?

Angelica felt something surging within her body, warming her. Her sobs stopped, leaving her tears behind. Strangely, however, they seemed to disintegrate as if the sun was over them. 

The energy built up in her palms, bringing her mild discomfort. It felt strange to her as if there was puss building up in her palms and it refused to leave her body. She questioned the appearance of the energy, but it quickly shushed her. It felt natural after a few seconds surging within her. 

Is this…? Is this my power? The ones my parents warned me about? But why now? Because… I’m truly going to die? She questioned. She noticed that the swelling at her palms was reaching its breaking point. She felt it asking to be released… and she permitted it. It was expelled from her body quickly and absorbed the room in bubble-like magic. The bubbles were violet-colored and transparent. It wrapped around her and the entire room, picking her up into the air. The Bloodhounds and other girls were raised as well, but the girls were lowered - so was Angelica. Only the Bloodhounds were raised, dangling a few feet over the bed. 

“Woah,” Angelica heard Jemma remark, staring at the Bloodhounds. They saw the monsters in their full detail, finding them repulsive beasts. 

Angelica stared deeply at the Bloodhounds, watching as they snapped at her but were too far away. She muttered something under her breath and the Bloodhounds moved away from her before being lowered then raised. Angelica was trying to understand her power, fidgeting with it.

After a few seconds of figuring out what she could do, she moved the Bloodhounds out of the only window in the dorm. She opened the windows by pointing at it before ushering the Bloodhounds out of it. They dropped immediately, growling before groaning. They had hurt themselves from the fall. 

Angelica shut the window before collapsing on her bed, feeling drained. Her bubbles disappeared---but not before she heard a strange clicking sound emitting from the hallway---and she felt her energy leaving her body. She had run out of mana, her bubble being destroyed as a side-effect. 

“W-What was that?” Jemma asked, stunned. Maya stared at Angelica, her mouth wide open. Darcy had her mouth open as well as she had watched the Bloodhounds being thrown out of the window. 

“A-Are you a vampire?” Maya asked. “You have a vampire’s power!”

Randolph took several pictures of Angelica using her powers. The pictures were clear, exposing Angelica’s true race as a vampire. He now had the evidence that Britain needed. He was ecstatic. I can see my last relative now! Yes! He thought as he sneaked out of the building, noticing that the fighting was coming to a close. Some of the hunters had rushed inside but were taken down by Sister Marie and the others. Tasu had left the nurse’s office but wasn’t able to do much with his wound. He was forced inside while the sisters dealt with the hunters and Bloodhounds. Soon, the orphanage would be empty of them. Soon.

Even so, he didn’t care about it. He left the building with his own intention in mind. He was quickly sighted by other hunters, but his description and mission had been spread through the group. He was allowed through, meeting with Britain. “I got it!” He squealed, handing the pictures over. “She’s a real vampire like you said.” Britain nodded, checking the pictures. He then raised both eyebrows, surprised by how well they showed Angelica and her vampire powers. 

“Good job, kid.” He said

Randolph jumped up and down with excitement. “Now can I see my last relative? Where is this person? I want to meet them now!”

Britain grinned devilishly. “They’re in Heaven. Want me to take you there?”

Randolph furrowed his brows. “You can only enter Heaven if you-” He was interrupted by Britain shooting Randolph in the head. A bullet went cleanly through the spot between Randolph’s eyes.

“Get rid of the body. Make sure nobody can find it.” He informed two nearby men. They nodded, picking up his body and looking for a place to ditch it. “Good luck finding your relatives, kid.” He said with a smirk. “Okay, let’s get going. We have a new mission now.” He informed his men before disappearing.

“What are the casualties?” Rachel asked.

“Most, if not all, of our sisters, are injured but none are dead. None of the children were killed either… but we’re missing one of them. A child named Randolph.” A sister reported.

Rachel nodded, biting her lip. They must’ve killed him by now. Damn it! Those damn murderers fled and are probably preparing for a counterattack! She thought.

“Miss?” Sister Marie said, appearing from behind her.

“Yes?”

“I never saw Britain enter. Could there be something else?”

Rachel nodded her head. “I think this attack was a diversion of sorts. Britain must’ve been tasked with an important mission, but… I’m not sure what it is. Well, don’t worry about it now. Focus on making sure the children are fine.” She ordered. Sister Marie nodded, rushing off to see whether or not Angelica was safe. 

Meanwhile, Rachel turned away from her, glancing at a bloody broadsword laying on the floor in front of her. “God will not forgive you.” She told the sword. “God will never forgive the sinners… Retribution is coming soon for those who sin. By God’s favor, it will.”

“Goodnight humans.” The woman remarked. She took a step towards them. Ex and Brooklyn brandished their weapons, facing her. However, they quickly realized that they were outnumbered. A fox beastkin, demon, and a human appeared by her side. 

Ex glanced at Brooklyn as Max growled at their attackers. “What… What do you want?” Ex asked the woman.

The woman didn’t respond, staring at him. “I have plans and… you are in the way of it. Molly! Kenan! Kill them!” She ordered. Her servants nodded, sprinting towards them. Kenan struck first, whipping his chain at Ex. Ex, fortunately, dodged the attack. He pointed his palms towards Kenan and released fire at him. Kenan dodged the attacks, unleashing another chain whip, which was avoided with ease. 

“Max, attack!” He ordered as he sprinted towards Kenan, closing the distance. He hoped to prevent Kenan from easily using the chain. Max, meanwhile, sprinted alongside him. He used his master as cover for a few seconds before rushing ahead of him and lunging towards their attacker. His mouth found Kenan’s leg and bit down harshly on him. It didn’t crack Kenan’s enforced demon skin, but it dealt small pain to him - as well as moving his eyes away from Ex and towards Max. Ex used this moment of opportunity to strike, launching light at him. The light blinded Kenan and stopped him from attacking Max. 

Ex quickly switched the element from light to darkness, pointing his palm at Kenan and unleashing it. The darkness shot towards Kenan, grabbing at his wrist and spreading over him like an infection. However, Kenan wasn’t going to let the darkness stop him. He gripped the chain tightly with his non-infected hand and positioned his feet to spin around in a circle, chucking the chain. The chain followed Kenan’s spinning movements, smacking into Ex and throwing him some distance backward. Max rushed to his side, booping his nose against Ex’s side as a Get up!

He listened to Max, getting up with an injured side. He felt something crack when he had been smacked by the chain but didn’t have the time to check. He enabled Forcefield before stretching out both palms and fired off more fireballs He shot fire out, engulfing Kenan and stopping his spin attack, who then staggered backward, smacking at the flames and extinguishing them. With the flames gone, he glared at Ex. “I can’t wait to grind your bones into powder.” He threatened. Ex didn’t say anything in response, glaring at Kenan with Max by his side.

Meanwhile, Molly fought against Brooklyn, pushing her back. Molly raised her broadsword high into her air, smirking as she did so, before letting gravity take care of it. The broadsword grazed Brooklyn, who barely managed to escape the attack’s radius. She raised her normal sword, biting her lip. She has me at distance… maybe I should follow Ex’s lead and get close to her… No, his plan didn’t work. I’ll have to rely on petty tricks. She thought to herself, equipping several daggers from her pockets. She waited for an opportunity to unleash the attack, recognizing that Molly was playing with her. Molly could’ve killed her long ago if she wished, but she wanted to entertain her master, Beelzebub. 

She waited for the opportunity to arise when Molly raised the broadsword before letting gravity finish the job. Once it appeared, Brooklyn had a clear shot on Molly, throwing the knives. The knives flew the air but weren’t strong or fast enough to pose a problem to Molly. She dropped the broadsword earlier than usual, using her weapon as a shield from the weak attacks.

“Ha! That’s the most you can do?” She criticized Brooklyn, who scowled at her. “You’re not even worth playing with anymore.” She raised her broadsword again before charging forward, lowering it to her chest and thrusting forward. This sudden change in attack pattern caught Brooklyn off-guard, piercing her gut. She fell to the ground, blood leaking out of the wound on her side. 

  “Damn,” She remarked, spitting out blood. Her weapon and knives fell away from her, leaving her disarmed. The fight was over.

Ex, meanwhile, faced a similar situation as Kenan was overwhelming him. He tried to use his elements again, but Kenan threw his chain at him, piercing through his left hand. He made a clean hole through.

“God!” He shouted as he crumbled to his knees, grabbing at the wound and trying to stop the blood flow. His attempts were futile as the blood continued to flow no matter his attempts. 

Ajax, who had been watching, was now ordered to finish off both humans by Beelzebub. She pointed at Ex first and he complied. He created a Darkness Spear, raising it over his head, and approached Ex. Max stood by his side, barking at him. 

“Kill the wolf first,” Beelzebub ordered.

Ajax nodded, turning to face Max. He threw the spear forward, but Ex jumped in the way, being pierced by it. He shouted as the pain circulated through his body. “I was reborn here and I thought I would be able to live a new life. I thought I could be somebody… but here I am. About to die in the forest. Why, Hunter?”

Ajax created another Darkness Spear but didn’t throw this
