Novel Full Chapter 19
Inside of the London’s underground metro system a large group of people could be seen being held up as hostages.
Four Vampires surrounded them, two on the platform in front of them and another two behind them.
Families were forced to keep their hands down and wait while vampires watched over them. It was unclear what was going to happen.
All were too petrified to ask, after all, the humans who had done so before them.
*Splatter!*
They were drained of their blood and turned into corpses.
As a young girl gazed at her parents, she muttered, “Mummy… Daddy… I’m scared…”.
The same brown hair as her mother and father, along with a pair of tiny brown eyes. With a handbag around her shoulder, she wore a small cute hat. Alongside the other hostages, her mother and father lowered their heads next to her.
“Stay quiet…” Her father whispered into her ear as he tightened his embrace.
“Listen to your father sweetie… Everything will be fine…”
The prickling of his trimmed beard could be felt against their forehead. Despite their fear at the moment, she felt safe in his arms.
Countless other people and families were stuck together, those who were alone avoided eye contact and didn’t make a sound.
One of the Vampires at the end of the platform caught her father’s attention. He had a nervous and terrified hostage seated beside him, a beautiful girl whose company he enjoyed.
While his appearance resembled that of a human with his smooth short Pearl opal green hair, his pointy ears and red eyes said otherwise.
“You don’t have to be so scared… I’m quite fond of pretty things…” He murmured as he stroked the girl’s black hair. “Are you scared of me..?” He asked as he gazed upon her neck.
The girl slowly shook her head as she trembled.
“Hm~ Just now… You lied, you know?” He asked.
The girl froze in her place.
“I-I- D-Didn’t…”
He leaned in towards her ear sending chills down her spine before he whispered. “When I asked, your heart suddenly started beating really fast. Lying is ugly, you know.”
“I may lose interest and drain you of all your blood~”
She felt her heart sink. Seeing the corpse of the girl beside her, she felt the urge to puke as the thought of it being her invaded her mind.
Even so, she held it in and quickly apologized.
“I! I’m sorr-”
The Vampire suddenly placed his index finger on the girl’s lips and interrupted her.
He pointed towards the ceiling of the tracks and underground tunnel where all the sleeping ghouls rested.
“Shhh… You don’t want to wake them up, do you?” The Vampire asked with a grin.
‘Those fucking monsters…!!!’ The father cursed inwardly as he watched.
‘Should I try out my ability? I still don’t know how use it properly… And will it really be enough to take them?’
He wanted to do something to help her but he couldn’t risk it. He had to watch over his family, so putting them in danger was the last thing he wanted to do.
This same thought was repeated amongst most of their minds. They wanted to do something, but they were too afraid of the consequences if they did.
After all, they had just witnessed a massacre just a moment earlier.
It was every man for himself.
“Hey, fon’t forget why we’re here. We’re taking these hostages to the camp. Even if the ghouls won’t wake up this level of noise, it’s better to be careful.” Said Another Vampire who was watching.
This Vampire had Pastel turquoise hair which reached down to his shoulder. His navy-blue uniform was just like the other Vampires.
“Don’t be such a party pooper, we’re doing as instructed and are waiting for the other squad to bring back more people.”
“If we’re going to be waiting for all this time, why not have a little bit of fun? For all you know, you won’t have access to all this food once it’s inside the camp so why not enjoy it now?” Muttered the pearl opal green haired Vampire.
*Pierce*
He bit into the girl’s neck and began gulping down her blood right before the pastel turquoise haired Vampires eyes.
As the pastel turquoise haired vampire watched he suddenly began to drool. The other two Vampires who were watching also drooled at the sight.
The girl’s cheeks flushed red as she had her blood drained out of her. Rather than it hurting, the Vampire was being rather gentle with her unlike with the one who he had killed before her.
*Gulp* *Gulp*
After a few more gulps, he stopped, snapping the Vampire’s out of the trance before looking at the other Vampire’s straight in the eye.
“As long as we don’t kill them, we can drink as much as we want.” He muttered with a grin as he watched the blood streaming down her neck gradually lessen.
“See? It closes on it’s own.”
The girl panted heavily as throbbing pain ran down her neck. The humans who watched were infuriated.
“This is a war, let your desires run fr-”
Without finishing his sentence, the Vampire’s eyes widened as he suddenly turned his head down the tunnel behind him.
The other Vampires, including the pastel turquoise haired one all turned to the tunnels ony to find a two pair of glowing crimson slit eyes approaching them from down the tunnel.
“Hm~ Another Vampire?” Said the third of the three Vampires.
This one was the most muscular and oldest looking out of the three. He was bald with a scar on one of his eyes.
The fourth and final one was a quiet dark brown haired Vampire who had said nothing thus far.
“Hey you, I’m sure you can hear me. What squad do you belong to?” The Pearl opal green haired Vampire asked.
No response came from the pair of eyes.
[Crystal Manipulation: Radiant Crystals.]
Small growing crystals protruded out of the train tracks as the pear opal green haired vampire placed his hand on the platform ground.
The crystals quickly lit up the path down the tunnel upon their summoning, it displayed countless ghouls resting whilst attached to the ceiling with their feet along with the figure of a short black and silver haired young man.
The black and silver haired young man had a smile on his face as he seemed to think up of something.
‘They think I’m one of them? I heard him say something about a Vampire Camp, they definitely said it…’
‘Two… Four vampires… If we were to fight those Ghouls would definitely wake up.’
‘Guess I’ll play along to gather some information.’
“A squad which was put in central, we ended up encountering members of the opposition and barely managed to get away.” Said Xavier in the least threatening way as he smiled upon his face’s reveal.
