Chapter 14

~Viserryan~

At the outskirts of Viserryan…

“These first few house belongs to humans”. Koryn informed as they as got to the modern looking houses.

“Humans?” Serrano asked as he looked around in awe.

“What blood do you expect the vampires to drink from if not humans?” Xylon asked sarcastically. It was obvious that there would be humans in Viserryan though he has never heard of it.

“They are really perverse” Serrano said. They keep humans close to them for easy access to blood. It was like rearing chickens.

“Are you sure there no vampires here?” Henrik asked skeptically. They had to make sure they don’t make a mistake. A single miscalculation could spell doom for them.

“The vampires live further inside the town” Koryn added as she walked ahead of them.

Wallace turned to Nyra who was beside and him and asked “Has she been here before?” Koryn looked as if she was familiar with Viserryan.

“Yes she has” Nyra smiled as she thought of how Koryn sneaked out to Viserryan to avenge Keldon.

Wallace nodded and continued walking.

They got to the area where Koryn announced that the vampires live in and everyone stopped as they took a deep breath.

“It feels like I have been sucked back in time”. Xylon exclaimed as they looked at the town.

It felt like a movie scene set in a medieval era, it felt real and unreal at the same time.

“Is that a carriage?” Nyra pointed at a carriage that was in a manor on her left and they turned to look at the direction which she pointed at.

“Yes it is” Henrik nodded in awe. He wasn’t expecting this.

“I could live here” Xylon said smiling. he would definitely enjoy staying here, like a vacation.

“Kill off the vampires first before thinking of usurping their land” Serrano pointed out. His plan was unrealistic. He would have to kill off the vampires before this impractical dream comes true

“Who knows I might become best friends with them” Xylon joked. Beings friends with a vampire was technically not a bad idea.

Seeing the way he was carefully entertaining the thought, Henrik nudged him slightly “Knock that thought off you head”. The vampires are their enemies, there’s no way they could ever be friends.

“Don’t you all find this town too quiet”. Alpha Gavin who has been silent all this while said.

There was an unusual silence in the town, though it was bright and sunny. The quiet town gave a foreboding feeling.

“They are probably inside by now, see”. Henrik said as he pointed at the sun that was high up in the sky. The vampires are usually inside during noon, it’s normal for the town to be empty.

“Are you sure the buildings behind us earlier belongs to humans? What if they quickly notified the vampires?” Serrano asked apprehensively. The humans might have already notified the vampires of their arrival and they would go into hiding.

“We ran through the town, there wouldn’t be enough time” Koryn said as she looked around the town.

Keldon was silent for sometime before he beckoned on the others “Take some men with you and check out those buildings”.

Henrik and the others except Alpha Gavin ran into the huge manors around them to check out the situation.

Few minutes later, they came out one after the other with confused expressions.

“There’s no one inside, not a single soul. It’s completely empty.” Henrik said confused. There has to be at least someone, but there was no one in the huge manor.

“There’s no one either” Wallace said as he came out of the manor that he searched.

“Still empty?” Keldon asked as Xylon and Serrano walked out of another manor.

They nodded in agreement. It was strange, they had to be inside away from the sun. If they weren’t inside their houses then where would they be.

“Let’s head to the castle” Koryn said firmly as she gazed at the huge castle at was on a hill at the edge of the town.

“Let’s go” Keldon agreed. There seems to be no one the town, the only place left should be the castle. Who knows they might be having a feast.

They sped through the medieval looking town when something caught Koryn’s eyes and she halted.

It was dark figure moving sneakily behind a manor with an umbrella. She looked closely and despite the many layers of clothes she could see the pale face visibly and her eyes widened in surprise.

Xylon stopped as he discovered that Koryn was behind them staring at a manor, then he notified the others and they stopped as well.

Keldon approached her and asked “What are you looking at?” He looked at the manor, there was nothing eye-catching to see.

“A vampire” Koryn muttered.

Keldon picked up her words and he glanced at her “What?”.

“I just saw a vampire with an umbrella going behind that manor”. Koryn pointed. She was so sure of it. It was definitely not a human.

“Then what are we waiting for?” Serrano asked hastily as he ran towards the manor with great speed. The others ran after him as well. If it was really a vampire then he will have to show them where the other vampires were hiding.

They got to the back of the manor, there was a little gate that was left slightly opened leading to what looked like a garden.

“Do you think he went this way?” Xylon asked, the foreboding feeling he felt earlier intensified. He had a bad feeling about this.

“There’s no where else he could have gone to. Let’s go” Henrik said as he moved forward. They had to check out if the vampires were really hiding inside the garden.

The gate creaked as they opened it and went inside the garden. The garden was beautiful with plethora of flowers, giving it a beautiful atmosphere.

“I never expected the vampires to have this kind of taste” Xylon whispered to Wallace. He expected Viserryan to be dark and eerie, but this beautiful garden was something else. Now his urge to live here intensified and then he sighed. It was just a pipe dream.

“You can always live here, no one is stopping you” Wallace replied calmly. He was already tired of his endless yapping.

“Were you just being sarcastic?” Xylon asked surprised. Wallace was the most patient person he knows, how could he be sarcastic.

Wallace ignored him as he focused on their surroundings.

They got to a huge clearing, it looked like a relaxing spot. There were beautiful flowery chairs around the clearing and a beautiful water fountain with clear running water.

There was a cave behind the chairs with some flowers giving it little coverings.

“A dead end?” Alpha Gavin asked as his dark eyes scanned the area. His senses were tingling and he knew that something big was about to happen.

“Not necessarily”. A calm voice said from the cave.

They are turned to look at the direction of the cave where the voice came from.

“My esteemed guests, I have been waiting for you”. A tall figure walked out of the cave into the sunlight with dark eyes, raven hair and pair skin.

Though they expected it, they were still shocked ‘He was a vampire’.
