(Fire Emblem: Vampire Camilla X Male Reader)

(Time to do some Vampire themed stuff. Been meaning to for a while, just haven’t been having any ideas on what to exactly do. But finally got something. So, here we go.)

(Your POV)

“(FN), could you come here.” I heard Lady Camilla call for me. I walked into her room as she finished writing down something. “Could you be a dear a bring this to Selena?” She said, handing me a note. I took it and nodded. “Of course, anything for you M’lady.” I said and left the room. I walked through the halls of the castle as several soldiers pass by me. I looked at them, to only see red eyes look back as I quickly turned the corner. I was a servant to the Nohr Royal family, Lady Camilla being the one who  served the most, but the others would have me do tasks for them as well. But see, my situation was a bit more...interesting.

See, I was human. Full on human, but those who I served and served with weren’t. They were Vampires. So you can see where the interesting bit came in. While to many of the soldiers and staff, I was nothing more but a talking blood bag. But a blood bag that they knew if they messed with, Lady Camilla would come after them with a fury that would make anyone shake in fear.

But then of course how does one end up in this situation? Well, it’s simple: I am a deserter.

(Flashback)

I was drafted into the war between Hoshido and Nohr. Nohr being a Kingdom of Vampires, while Hoshido was Were-beings. Werewolf, Werecat, Were-whatever animal you can think of. Humans did make up the rank of the Hoshdo Army, but with how far the war had gotten, Drafts began and you can imagine the dread in my gut when Soldiers were at my door.

Course, my soldier career wasn’t long as during the first battle I was in, I got knocked out. Not by a enemy soldier mind you, but by one of our own. Either way, I woke up among blood and bodies and that was when she came….Camilla.

Honestly I looked up at her with both fear and aw. While she sang a aura of absolute terror and fear, I could see she wasn’t what any Hoshidan would call a Vampire, Monsters. Hours seemed to pass, but maybe it was a few seconds before she spoke. Her voice would have put any actual angels to shame. “Your sword, it never left it’s sheath.” She said. I nodded slowly and she raised an eyebrow. “I see….so then, how did you live?” She asked. “I…I was knocked out, a-a club from a O-Oni Savage hit the back of my head and I got knocked out.” I said, it was evident I was scared.

“Mmmmm, and not once have you tried to draw it. Especially with a Princess of Nohr standing right before you.” She said.
“I’m….I’m not a fighter. I was forced to be in the army, I didn’t want to.” I said.

“Forced? So then, you don’t see Nohr as an enemy.”

I shook my head. “No, I don’t…..I honestly think this fighting is pointless.”

A minute passed without a word spoken. My gaze wa now on the ground. I had the feeling she was deciding whether to kill me, or turn me into food, which would kill me. So death no matter what. That was when I heard her stab her axe into the ground then felt her hand on my chin, making me look at her. She was now closer to my level, her eye fixed on mine as she had on a smile that made almost any worry of mine wash away.

“I can tell you are a rather gentle soul. And I think you are perfect for a job position.” She said. Camilla stood back up and pointed towards the woods. “You can run right now and I won’t have anyone follow you. What you do would be up to you and fate. Or.” She held her hand out to me. “You can come with me, and become my servant. Where you can be safe, and warm. Away from this Violence.” She finished her offers.
