Lukas Bondevik huh? A Norwegian that strongly dislikes the gift he's been born with. I wholeheartedly agree with Arthur when he says he wants to change that. They both have no idea how much is at stake here. They've been (well I don't know much about Lukas but it's safe to say he doesn't know) mollycoddled their entire lives. My hand dials up a number on my phone and I wait. Surely someone will be home. I'd be very surprised if they weren't.

"Hello? You've, like, reached the Wang household." A heavily accented voice speaks. "That is so cute, Leon. Do you always answer the phone like that?"
"Hi Vlad." He sighs. "I assume you've, like, got news? This time I've got some for you as well." Curiousity bubbles in my stomach and travels up my spine with a tingle. The urge to know wraps its fingers around my neck, suffocating me and filling my brain with inquisitiveness. "Really? You go first then."
"We've got one. A mage. He's, like, never practised magic before but I can tell already that he's important." I grin. Two potential allies in one day! This is great! "Are you serious?! Oh my God Leon, I'm so happy right now! We've acquired a mage too!"
"Does the BTT know yet?" Is all that comes through. On the other side I hear a "Why do you refer to me as a mage?" Followed up with, "Because I highly doubt that, like, you can shapeshift, are a vampire, or something along those lines." That must be the guy then. "No they don't. But they're going to be ecstatic when I tell them both things."

"Ok. I'm going to let Emil on the phone now." He hands it over.
"Halló. Ég heiti Emil." He must be nervous as he can clearly speak English yet has reverted back to whatever language that is. "Um, uh, sorry. I tend to speak in Icelandic when I'm nervous. Hello. My name is Emil." His voice is quite quiet and very soft. "Hi there! I'm Vlad and I'm a communicator on the other side! I guess that Leon hasn't filled you in on things yet so that's my job! You see, everyone used to live in harmony. Humans could see magical creatures but they couldn't practice magic. Everything was fine until the governments of the world took us as a threat to their power. They became highly prejudiced and even created a machine that made all humans not be able to see what we see. That way they could easily indentify us and be able to keep watch. We live in fear. We have no safe place except for a small section in our world now. They've stormed everywhere else and taken people as prisoners. Now, I know this is a lot to take in so feel free to ask me questions about myself to break it up."

"Thanks. Yeah that would be good. So what was the good news you told Leon?" Curious  like me huh? "Oh. We found another person who's just like you - perhaps a little less accepting. His name is Lukas Bondevik and hes staying with my friend Arthur." There's silence on his side. "Emil?"
"My- my brother's called Lukas Bondevik. Does he have blonde hair, a nordic cross hair clip and soulless eyes?" Small world. This is why I'm glad magic runs in the family. More friends, more allies. "He does in fact. That's unbelievable. Look Emil, I'll make sure your brother's alright. You can count on my friend Arthur and I for that."  "Ok. Thank you." He breathes. I fill him in on everything else. As soon as the call ends, I find myself fiddling with the badge that represents all that we stand for. We have to beat them. I don't know what life will be like without persecution but I want to find out. My blood red eyes drift to the clock on the mantelpiece. It's almost time for my daily drink. Just the thought stirs up the memory of what happened about 5 years ago.

On the day, I remember the sky, a clear blue sky, the sort of colour as you would find in bright blue paint. I remember being fascinated after such a struggling day of school that my eyes would behold this wonder. Clouds as fluffy as a what one would believe a large cotton ball were spread out over this cerulean blanket. A soft breeze rustled through trees' leaves, masking what should have been picked up on - the sense of danger. A sense of foreboding. The sense that I should be going anywhere but home right now. And finally, I noticed. Unfortunately, I was already too far through the front door. My parents stood there, deranged toothy grins flashing at me. My little brother lay at their feet; his body was appearing to be lifeless. Their eyes looked too mad, their fangs were in full view and craving blood - seeming to be more blood by the trail down the side of my mother's mouth.

"What did you do to him?" I tremble, the question indicating why my brother just happened to be lying like that. "Vlad sweetie, there's no need to panic. Your brother's just incredibly tired. We were about to pick him up and lie him down in his bed." Too suspicious. That's obviously not what happened. "You drank his blood." I state as my voice goes up an octave, "Didn't you?" They still grin at me, the smiles becoming terrifying. "Not exactly. First, the government told us that they would leave our family alone if we had a meal with them. It was very pleasant actually. And then it occured to us. To become united as a family we should all have been turned." Turned. Like the reason we moved in the first place. Mum and Dad were turned by vampires hired by the government. The things people will do for a large amount of money. I could tell whatever those losers did to my parents were non reversible. "You turned him." They nod and move closer to me, locking the very door that's behind me. "Of course. And you're going to join him." That was the last thing before I blacked out, fangs buried into my neck.

What was I supposed to do? After they had turned us, they were all set to hand us over to the enemy, on the enemy's wishes. I did what any person like me would have done in that situation. I had to leave with my brother. I miss my parents to this day. They had become one with the government though; controlled like puppets on a string. That's how important our cause is. This is why things need to change. Before more people are lost mentally and physically.

I would give my own life just to see them defeated.

*****************************************
That took an interesting twist for me. I was originally planning on the government to have killed Romania's parents and then send the vampires after them but no. Things changed. Damn. Sorry about that XD.

To make up for it have a picture of the Nordics being adorable.

I love how happy Norway is to be matching with his brother!

Hope you enjoyed and I'll see you in the next one!
Bye!
