The Immortal (twilight fanfiction)

Chapter 20: A hunt



For the next three months, Julius trained his new abilities.

And I must say "Holy…fuckin…shit"

Julius's power stopped growing after a month of him awakening it.

But by then, he could already unroot hundred-foot trees with his damn mind, And shoot rocks or pebbles faster than bullets.

If he wanted to, he could pick me up and throw me around with his mind.

But he quickly learned that was a bad idea.

I started carrying pebbles with me, and he found out that I throw accurately when I need to.

I found out that his power has a feeling to it, it's very subtle and almost impossible to feel unless you're around it all the time when he uses it.

And if he wants to use it on me I can feel it creep towards me, and that's when the pebbles come in.

It only took him having to reattach one of his ears for him to get the memo. "I'm not a rag doll to be thrown around"

And finally, the day has come when we can leave the forest and go after Julius's family's killers.

Sliding my pack over my shoulder I look over at Julius, who just slung his pack.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked him.

Looking around to make sure he didn't leave anything he said "Good to go"

And off we went.

I wasn't worried about bringing him into a village or town.

While training his martial skills I also trained his self-control.

I would cut my hand open and smear it around our camp so he would always have the smell of fresh blood around him all the time.

I know what you're thinking "gross" but hey it worked soooo (raspberry noise) deal with it.

With his already incredible self-control, all that was needed was more training with the direct smell of human blood instead of smelling it through skin and flesh.

So training under stronger smell training I guess. "What has my life become," has become a recurring thought in my head.

I mean one day a nerd and now a few thousand years later in what used to be a fictional world to me, I'm now a master shifu for a vampire kid with the ability to throw me around with his mind…need I say more?

But back to the story.

Leaving our camp behind, we begin our journey.

But first, we make a stop.

We now stood in front of two makeshift graves.

The two make shit graves only now starting to grow grass, making them easier to find.

We stood silently at the foot of the graves in respect for the dead.

After a few minutes, Julius finally turned to me.

"I think it's time I get my revenge," he says and walks past me.

And off we went.

It took us another few days to reach a village.

It only had a small population but it did have a few traders so I could get some supplies.

Sure fresh meat is good and all, but it's so bland, I only packed enough spices for a few months and not the almost year it took for Julius to be ready.

I also had to get Julius some clothes.

His clothes wore out after a few months of training and he was now using my clothes to cover any showing skin but his eyes.

I really need to find something out about that.

Like some sort of paint or something. I'm sure with my pull in Rome I could make it the next sensation, but if not, no big deal we still had the royal era where nobles or the rich literally painted thick paint onto themselves for what they thought was "beauty".

Entering the village I bought the needed supplies and extra spices.

Along with a white cloak for Julius with a hood to cover his head.

While we were there we asked around for any information about the two vampires.

Finding an old man sitting in front of his small rundown home we asked him.

"ohh I think I might have seen two strange men passing through quite a while ago," he said in a raspy voice.

"And what direction did they leave in?" I asked excitedly as we already got a lead.

The old man scratched his almost bald head and said.

"ohh that was a long time ago I'm not too sure I remember," he said.

"Uhhhh this old man is killing me," I thought while pinching the bridge of my nose.

I knew exactly what he wanted, this old fogie wanted money for information.

I know I have a lot of money and all but what you would call a penny pincher.

What can I say, old habits are hard to kill, even though it's from my life before I came here when I was one missed day of paying rent away from living in a box.

So with a defeated sigh, I grabbed a silver from my pouch, held it up, and said.

"What about now," and with no shame the old man grabbed the coin from my hand and pointed south.

"they went that way a few months ago, it's hard to not remember them, they almost had all the women chasing after them with their godly looks," he said while biting into the coin.

"Well thanks for the information," I said with a fake smile and began to walk away with Julius while mumbling under my breath.

Leaving the town, me and Julius headed south.

All the way I told stories to Julius of my past and adventures. And he would ask questions.

Every now and then we would pass through villages and ask if people had seen our vampires.

And of course, they had.

The biggest thing to keep people from boredom was gossip.

And we'll when two men that look like demi-gods or wore strange clothing, pass through your village, that's some hot gossip.

So it was easy to follow their track.

From what we could tell, these two vampires were taking their time.

And we were slowly catching up with them.

And it didn't take a genius to figure out where they were heading.

Rome.

So that gave me another reason to kill them.

And before they got to Rome.

Because these two are clearly killers and didn't care about human life.

Every now and then, we would come across dead bodies of travelers in resting locations along the roads.

Making me hate them all the more.

The last thing I want is for them to get to Rome and start a coven of newborns.

That thought made me turn on the afterburners.

Instead of walking, me and Julius ran at full speed so we could catch up with them quickly.

And within another month we had finally found them.

After talking to someone in the village we found out that they had just left the village no less than thirty minutes ago.

Me and Julius look at each other and then take off.

Thankfully we didn't zoom out of the village and instead waited until we were out of sight before taking off, hot on their heels.
