Chapter 1 - Awakening of the Beast

            England, The Late 1990's. 
     A group of war hungry Nazi Vampires attack the city of London with force, causing mass destruction while decimating the population. In the process, they manage to rid the world of one of its powerful beings, only to awaken another that has not seen this world in over a thousand year. 

      Hidden deep within The British House of Parliament is a secret room created hundreds of years before, which has been forgotten for over thirty years now. Inside the room is a silver coated case in the middle of the room. When the Last Battalions Air fleet commenced bombing, one of the bombs brought down the weak foundation around the room, the heavy weight of the bricks and metal easily crushing the wood framed box. This wouldn't be a problem, if the silver casing didn't slice the arrow in half.

    It took Lestat a while to come out of the spell induced coma, still in his wolf form. He was trapped under the weight of the bricks and too weak from the long time he was asleep to shift. He laid still for hours. He could feel a massive aura that would easily rival his, smiling at the irony. He had, according to the one who did it, been sealed away because he was too powerful for this world. He felt another aura as well, not as strong as the first but pretty powerful. He chuckled to himself as the larger aura disappeared, One comes , one goes.

     He could smell the death, not just a few humans, but millions. He also smelled the fires and a new smell, one he was too old to have smelled. He could also smell the difference in the air. After a few more hours he worked up the energy to shift into his human-like form. "Finally" He spoke, his voice still a little weak. He still easily pushed the weight of the bricks and metal off of him, seeing this world once again. He looked around the room and then up, a massive hole in the ceiling. He started to stand up and felt the rest of the arrow still in his side. He pulled it out, looking at the arrow head. "Idiot should've figured that I out grew my weakness to silver long ago." The wound slowly healed, Lestat still some what weak but feeling very tired.
  
    He looked up and jumped out of the hole, looking around the courtyard above. "Hm. I wonder how long I was asleep" His nose was almost burning from the smell of death. He had never smelled so many dead bodies in one place before. He shifted back to his wolf form, not wanting to be naked in a place he didn't know. He slowly walked around, cautious. He finally got to the streets, looking at all the dead bodies and burnt buildings. 'Nice to know some things never change' He thought to himself. He had to find something to eat, it was the only way for him to regain his strength fully. He couldn't smell anything living. He started to make his way to the nearest water way, seeing a massive bridge spanning it.  The bridge itself was in shambles, as he walked along the river way he saw a young girl still alive. He walked over to her. She looked up at him. She looked to be about two to four years of age.

    "A....A b-big doggie?" She said slowly, not afraid of Lestat. He didn't understand what she said, not understanding the language as he had never heard it before. 

((Lestats thoughts are in the last language he spoke, Proto-Norse. He also speaks a few Ancient Greek dialects, Old Latin, and other old forgotten languages))

     She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, crying into it. Lestat blinked and sat down, letting her. Her sadness was obvious, he knew the feeling of losing people. After a while she let go, petting him. Lestat kind of knelt down, the girl looking at him for a second before climbing on his back. Lestat made his way up the streets, the girl quickly falling asleep on his back due to his soft fur. Lestat couldn't clearly smell any living person, there were too many bodies. So, he just kept walking deeper into the city, looking around. Many things had changed, buildings were taller and wider. All made of metal, glass, and stone. 

     He ended up completely walking through London. The girl gave him a little strength, as she gave him a reason to push on. He would never feed off of a human, even if he was starving. It was preying on a weaker intelligent species, which he saw no honor in. He chuckled softly at his own hypocriticalness. It's ok to kill them if you don't eat them he thought while shaking his head a little.
       
      He looked back at the girl and smiled a little. She had long black hair that was braided, her skin was light but covered in dirt and grime. Her dress was ripped up. He started to smell something. It took him a second to remember the smell. It was of blood and corpses, but moving around. A vampire. He could see it peering at him through the window of a building on the shaded part of the street. He couldn't feel any aura coming off of it, just it's smell. 'Pathetic Worm'. Lestat made his way over to the sunlight, continuing on his way. As he got farther away he could smell a few living people, he started to make his way toward the smell as he sped up.

    After jogging around for about thirty minutes he came to a large open area. He saw a large building up the road, it looked wrecked but he could smell the living people inside. The girl was fast asleep on his back, holding onto his fur. As he made his way up the road he could start to sense one of the auras from earlier, smelling that it was a vampire. Seeing as how there were living people in the building, it must've been at least somewhat friendly.

      He made his way up to the building, looking up at the three floors. As he came to the front door, a blond woman was already aiming a gun at him, she was the vampire he sensed. She was average height and wore a red uniform, and a coat of arms he didn't recognize. She saw the girl on his back and lowered her gun. He looked at it and quickly determined that it was a weapon of some sort. His vision started to fade, he had used all the strength he had built up to run this girl to safety.

     "Integra!" The woman yelled loudly, her gun still aiming at him. She could tell he wasn't just a wolf, it was quite obvious really, but what confused her was the child on his back. She could tell the girl was still alive, just asleep. As he saw another woman walk up he blacked out, collapsing onto his stomach, not wanting to wake the girl. 

    "A Lycan?" She blinked, almost immediately able to identifying. She could tell the difference between him and a werewolf by the simple fact werewolves can't mediate forms. The first woman walked up to him, aiming at his head. 

    "Can you call one of the men to get the child?" The first woman asked the other, who nodded and walked off. The woman knelt down next to Lestat, looking over him. He managed to wake himself up, barely opening his eyes. His eyes looked tired and heavy. The woman hesitantly reached down, scratching behind Lestats ear. Lestat kind of moved his head a little closer, obviously enjoying it. The woman smiled a little. Lestat gave off a weak aura, but it was somewhat pure. Lestat had never killed an innocent  in his life, only those who had threatened him, his friends, or the innocent. Seras could feel that we was very different from what she'd seen before.

    "Seras? What are you doing?" Integra asked her, one of the men walked over and slowly picked up the child. He quickly carried her off, trying not to wake her.

    "I don't think it is evil." Seras looked over at her, on both her knees next to his head. Lestat looked up at Integra, slowly falling asleep shortly after noticing the woman had a bandaged eye. Integra walked closer, looking down at him.

     "There hasn't been a true Lycan in England for decades." Integra mumbled to herself. "Take him down to the basement and chain him up. We'll deal with him later." She turned around, walking away. Seras nodded and picked him up, surprised at how soft his fur was. She walked him down to the dungeon, setting him down in one of the cells. She walked upstairs to the kitchen, grabbing a plate and a bowl. She filled the bowl with water, and pulled a large steak out of the freezer. She walked back down to the dungeon with the water, deciding to let the steak thaw out. She sat the bowl in front of him and walked away. 

    After an hour she brought the steak down, Lestat smelling it and waking up. He waited til she left again to eat, quickly devouring the steak. He made his way over to the bowl, starting to drink the water. He looked around the room, some of the bricks had fallen out of place from what ever happened. He closed his eyes, falling asleep again. 

    The girl had waken up, looking at the man who was watching her. "W-Where is the doggie?" She asked the man, looking around for Lestat. Seras had heard her wake up and decided to walk in.

    "Doggie?" Seras asked the girl, getting on her knees infront of her. The girl nodded, looking at Seras. 

    "I was by the water and he came up to me and let me hug him and and let me ride on his back...and sleep on him" She kept looking around, Integra had walked by when the girl spoke, stopping to listen. She thought it was weird that a Lycan would help a little girl. "He looked tired though. Is he sleeping?" The girl asked Seras. 

    "Yes he is, He's taking a nap" Seras responded, comforting the girl, who nodded and laid back down. Seras stood up and walked over to Integra. 

    "Let's go Seras" Integra said as she started to walk toward the basement, Seras following. Seras passed her and walked to the room she had put Lestat in, Lestat stood up on all fours, looking at them. His aura slowly started to return.Lestat shifted into his human-like form, using his tail to cover his nether regions. "Can you understand me?" Integra asked him. Lestat tilted his head slightly, speaking in Proto-Norse. Seras and Integra looked at each other. He thought for a few seconds, remembering the Roman Empire. He started to speak in Latin, which Integra recognized. "Latin?" 

   "What did he say?" Seras asked, looking at Lestats new form. A little amazed. 

   "I don't know, I just recognize it. He'll have to stay in here until we can get a translator." Integra looked over him as well, walking out the door. "Since you think he isn't evil, you can guard him" Seras nodded as Integra walked away, nodding to Lestat before walking out and locking the door. Lestat decided to stay, as they had not threatened him, and had actually fed him. He would have to wait until they got someone who could translate to successfully to communicate. He waited before, he had no problem with it.
