Chapter 6 - Chapter 6-Abilities

It was someone else that gave the reply. Snow looked at a particular direction and the purple haired lady walked forth. "How long have you been watching". Snow asked as she walked towards them.

"Long enough" was her reply. "So you are now my daughter's husband, what's your ability".

"We were getting to that" snow interrupted her. "I was just about to ask him".

"Were you? You seem to be getting carried away". She said an snapped her fingers and suddenly light filtered into the room from the windows.

"Ugh" hunter struggled to cope with the sudden adjustment of light. "Can you guys quit being mysterious and just say what it is you wanna say".

"You simply are no fun" she said and walks towards him. "I am violet".

"Yeah no kidding, but your hair is purple" hunter interrupted her, his eyes had gotten used to the brightness.

"Oh, so you are fun" she continued albeit hunters rude interruption. "As I said, I am violet but you can call me countess violet". After she finished talking she looked at snow who just rolled her eyes. Then she looked at hunter.

"Yeah, am not calling you that"

"You must, for I am your . . ."

"We got it mom, can you stop now. Let's go to the castle now since we have an heir". Snow said as she stood up from the bed and held hunters hand as they left the room. Violet just smiled and followed after them.

"Were are we going?" Hunter asked as she pulled him along the stairs to the basement.

"We are going to the vampire realm".

"Shouldn't we wait for your mother". He WS not surprised about a vampire. When they had turned him into a vampire, he had already guessed they would be something like this. Her words only further laid to his claim.

"She's already here" snow didn't finish her sentence as violet appeared in a flash of light.

"How did she get here so fast".

"Honey am a vampire count, its what I do".

"Don't do that mother, he's mine". Snow frowned.

"We can't leave just yet, we still don't know his ability". Snows mother stopped them with her words.

"What ability is that". Hunter asked as he looked at snow.

"*sigh*. All vampires have their own special ability, if you become a member of a clan, your powers don't change but it can be improve if it is similar with the clans main prowess. My power is that of darkness while my mothers own is that to manipulate time and space. Can we go now?" Snow asked the question at her mother.

"Calm down child, we don't even know what his power is. If we step one foot in there the king will send his guards to interrogate us, nd if we don't know his powers and bring a foreign vampire in . . ." she let her last words hang in the air.

"Plus we don't even know his name".

It was at that moment they realized they don't even know something as simple as his name. Snow looked at him. Expecting him to answer.

"Uhh, yeah. My name is Hunter"

"We know his name now so we can go". Violet said to the expecting snow.

********

Just looking at them argue at it for a few minutes, hunter realized they don't know what they were doing.

'Some vampires they are' Hunter thought to himself.

Just a few minutes ago, violet and snow asked him to reveal his abilities. All vampires have abilities, so he should as well, but there are some abilities that ordinary vampires a should not have. An ordinary vampire should not have the ability of that of a count.

Snow is the next to be vampire count, after her mother that is. Normally all vampire count of a particular clan have the same abilities, but not clan seraph. Clan seraph's abilities are not constant, a newborn vampire can have another power different from their parents, that is in the case of Violet. She has the ability of time and space.

Snow's ability is that of darkness which was normally sometimes the recurring power that clan seraph has. It would not have been a big deal if Hunter didn't also have the darkness ability.

Some few minutes ago

"We know his me so can we go" violet said to the expecting snow "Right after we know what his ability is" she said cheerfully but there was no amusement in snows eyes.

"Come on, isn't he your first male project that worked, you should be excited to know what his ability is" she said to the frowning snow.

"Wait, what" Hunter said.

"Nothing, don't bother"

She continued as she crossed her arms "Well, OK, we can do that . . . I guess" she said with a small smile on her face.

They both suddenly turned to him. "Show us your ability" saying simultaneously although snows response was more robotic.

"How" he took a couple of steps back before answering. Snow thought for a while before answering him. "Try imagining you have wings". Immediately, black inky wings appeared from her back.

"I can't do that " Hunter replied with a straight face. 'Although he had just recently turned into a vampire, he was taking everything well. He seemed to be absorbing every thing we throw at him. He's not even urging for blood, but there is a maximum everyone can take. If he causes trouble, I'll terminate him.' This thought was running in Violet's head but she did not let it show on her face. She had been observing everything hunter did, said and reacted. And to her, he was taking it all right.

"OK . . . just imagine you having wings. It does not have to be dark wings like mine". She shrugged. The chances of him sprouting up wings on his first try was nigh impossible. She just said it try and make him she them a hint of what his ability actually was.

Hunter just stared at her' They are very bad vampires'. He thought to himself and a doubting look was on his face.

As if reading his mind" Hey, we may not be good at teaching but we are great at fighting."

'What other choice do I have'.

Hunter sat down on the bare cold ground in a lotus position. He began to imagine himself with wings, and . . .

Two wings made of black ink popped up in his back a few minutes after imagining.

"I did it ". He squealed to himself as he opened his eyes and looked up to see their proud face but they were not as happy as he expected. Instead, the looks they had on their face was one of horror. Hunter stopped smiling.

'What is wrong with them' he scratched his head. The two inky black wings started to show instability and faded into the darkness as he lost concentration.

They did not talk to him, they turned to themselves and started arguing. Hunter sat down on the floor and looked at both of them with a wry smile. He was confused.

********

"How can he have the darkness ability" snow turned to her mother and asked.

"I don't know, am not the one that turned him". Violet defended herself.

"You should know these things, aren't you a vampire count".

"Don't use my vampire count title against me".
