Chapter 27 - The Banquet (3)

Mikayla humming is getting louder. It attracts the other vampires.

"Is he crazy? Suddenly starts to humming in this instance? I always thought Lefu is crazy now I found someone else that is crazier," said Zillah.

"Let him be. Let it be his final word," said Damien. He is ready for another attack. He is confident that this attack will make Mikayla's barrier completely falls.

Lefu is quiet, he can sense the temperature is dropping down and there is a strong magic force starts to build up. He shifts his eyes to see the other guest to see where is the powerful force comes from but he unable to find it.

The guests watch the scene inside the room with relish. They always thought that the Blade family is stupid for adding a non-vampire as their family. There are a lot of young vampires they can adopt. Why take an outsider? Let this incident tells them, us the vampire are greater than others.

Alaric and Gregory have a worried face. They are unable to help Mikayla because of the 'child fight'. The guests are acting beyond the limit, if this happens to their own child even a scratch can be made into a war between families.

The six vampires make their attacks and Mikayla's barrier completely falls. They are overjoyed but Mikayla opens his mouth and start to sing. His Wings is spread open and he is floating in the air. His Wings change from light yellow into black. He is like a devil watching the ants on the ground.

You were on the right track

You were on the right path

Black door in the forest

Is it here to taunt us? Cause it's goin' nowhere

You gotta move on, cause shadows in the dark

Are always coming towards you (ah)

Red eyes in the night, you put em outta sight

Don't be paralyzed, move on to

Nirvana or Shangri-La or Valhalla

{Hearing Mikayla singing makes the six vampires and the guests paralyse. They feel the temperature completely drop. A vampire that have low body temperature actually starts to shiver. Every word Mikayla sings makes them to have goosebumps. Fear slowly creeps in their heart.}

Move, cause if you stay in limbo you'll decay

{All that present starts decaying from their legs and the decaying smells linger in the air}

Roots, trees, branches, leaves

They're covering the skyline,

blocking off the sunlight, making noon like midnight

(Aah)

{Suddenly there is roots, tree, branches and leaves bind the six vampires and slowly moves towards the guest to bind them. All of them try to run but unable to move.}

White horse on the right, calls you to the light

Put it out of sight, you (ah)

Need to try and see, the forest from the trees

Don't be paralyzed, move on to

{All of them start to feels that they are turning into stone}

Nirvana or Shangri-La or Valhalla

{A door materialize under their feet. A dark aura envelope all of them.}

Move, cause if you stay in limbo you'll decay

{The decaying continue from their legs towards the hands and slowly moves upwards}

Maybe no one really knows the way

(No one really knows, no one really knows, the way)

Broken clocks are right twice a day

No phone booths, life lines, not today

(No one really offers help anyway)

No ones there to save you from this place

Nirvana or Shangri-La or Valhalla

{The door open up and all them slowly sink downward}

Move, cause if you stay in limbo you'll decay

{The decaying keep spreading to the head. All of them can smell the decaying that is getting stronger. While their body slowly sinks they feel that death is near. As a vampire, they are immortal. When do they need to think about dying? Now they are slowly dying!}

Alaric and Gregory keep calling Mikayla but he seems to be in a trance as they slowly sink into the door.

"I don't want to die, Ahhhhh!" said Hadria

"Someone HELP! HELP!" said Zillah.

"Use your wings!" said Gregory. He has to make sure all of them survive. The vampires unfold their wings and flap their wings crazily. Unfortunately, their wings are decaying and crumble piece by piece. They fall into the doors once again and keep sinking. Despairs is the only word they can use to describe this situation.

Mikayla sings a sentence from the song.

Nirvana or Shangri-La or Valhalla

"Which one of it suite all off you? I think hell suite all of you better."

The door starts to produce fires. Black fires start to eating the decaying body.

"Mikayla, please awake. The twins are fine. We can punish them later," said Baldovino.

"Mikayla! Listen to us, you dammit!" said Persephone.

The twins did not get implicate with anything that happens to the vampires. They fall asleep on Mikayla embraces. Their cry before this has consumed a lot of their energy.

Tristan and the older vampires that playing poker in the entertainment room feels the dropping temperature and the strong magic force. Their faces turn grim. They feel threatened by this magic force. Has an expert comes to create havoc in this banquet? If the older vampires feel threatened, the others in the castle already shivering and paralyse.

Then, all of them heard someone is singing. The older vampires move toward the voice but the magic power is so strong and hinder them. As soon they arrive on the third floor they see all the vampires are sinking. Almost half of them nearly sink thoroughly until the head.

"Grandfather! saves me!" seeing his grandfather Damien feels relaxed.

"How did this happen?" said Kharis.

"It's him. The rat!" said Damien turning his head towards Mikayla.

The older vampires frown seeing Mikayla. It is no doubt that Mikayla is the source of magic force. They turn their head towards Tristan.

"What? You think I will adopt a useless person as my great-grandchild," said Gregory and rolls his eyes.

"Think something, he is your great-grandchild," said Vega.

"Father! We try to call him but he seems to be in a trance," said Gregory.

"Yeah! We will think about it. Make sure you don't die first," said Tristan.

Gregory almost vomits a litter of blood with how his father handles this situation.

One of the older vampire, Rana walk towards the door but it does not do anything towards him. He tries to lift one of the guests but he can't lift him.

."The spell only affecting those who stay on the third floor. We can't do anything," said Rana.

Tristan can guess what happens when he sees Rinne and Miranda unconscious on the floor. Tristan takes out a tiny square box. That box is as big as his palm. He opens the box and music is playing. The music is calming and serene. Like a mother lullaby to her child.

Hearing the music Mikayla fly towards Tristan and try to reach the music box. Tristan slowly moves to the back with the music box and Mikayla follows him. When Tristan reach to his friends, Vega strike at Mikayla's neck and lose his conscious. Tristan catches Mikayla from falling to the ground.

All the vampires on the third floor stop sinking. The temperature is rising and their movement is not restricted. The decaying process has stopped and the door vanishes nowhere to be seen. All of the vampires released a relieved sigh.

Their burn and the decaying body start to heal slowly. It heals slowly that it is torturing for them. Today, they truly feel to be on the edge of death. Alaric and Gregory rush towards Mikayla. Seeing the music box, they took a deep breath. They never thought that Tristan dares to use in front of the public.

"Take Mikayla and the twins into another room," said Tristan while handing Mikayla to Alaric.

"Gregory, calls the other servant to clean this place. Call the ambulance, bring the injured to our private hospital" said Tristan.

"Yes, father. The other guest?" said Gregory.

"I will handle it," Tristan walk down followed by his friends. His demeanour change instantly showing his leader bearing.

Tristan personally apologizes to the guests and promise to give compensation to the guest because of the trauma. Everyone leaves the banquet in an orderly manner.

The castle is surrounded by silence. It is supposed to be dawn in two hours but the night is dark like in midnight.

Mikayla is still unconscious and the twins sleep soundly. Rinne and Miranda already receive treatment in the hospital.

A hand slowly caress Mikayla's head.

"I want full information of vampires that involve tonight." said the man. Tristan, Gregory and Alaric are kneeling towards the man. Today they are able to see his face. The legendary vampire suddenly comes to them because of Mikayla. To be in this man protection, who is Mikayla actually? Are they lucky to discover Mikayla?

The man eyes full of love when seeing Mikayla. "You are strong Mikayla, like your father."
