"JUST WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PLACE ?", Noah said in surprise with 'woah' on his tone.

~skrrr~

While he was admiring an old abandoned asylum even ghosts would be afraid to live in, Travis immediately pulled then dragged him towards the darker side of the wall as they were seconds away from getting caught by passing soilders on duty.

It was huge, just like any castles in fairy tales but the only difference was, that asylum seemed more like a devil's den from hell rather than king's castle in the vast kingdom of Ethiopia. The crumbling structure build centuries ago may have been the masterpiece on its era but then it turned into old, abandoned and covered with dead vines & rusts where metals were spotted.

So much dark aura was emitting around the place, like the only things that had ever happened there was cruel & evil for centuries as innocent souls of deceased may have been trapped inside in an endless loop of torture as long as time itself existed.

"Let's move", said Travis. They each searched around the places silenly following the instincts but then both returned at the same spot empty handed.

"There isn't any movement inside here. Did you feel anything ? I mean I was shocked you know. Matt was sure we would find something in here. Aww, this is driving me crazy", Noah scratched his head irritated.

"Yeah! fifteen minutes already passed and we are running out of time. Did you check the underground too ?...cause I couldn't find a way to there.", said Travis.

Noah's eyes turned wide like he switched off the light bulb inside his head, "That's it. THE UNDERGROUND. We have to find a way to there. I felt the vibe like something was missing here. Remember ...? August is kept underground among two places. let's find it but this time, together."

"Nah!!! maybe we don't need to find them. Look...", Travis pointed his finger at the soilders passing just like the last time.

They quietly followed them towards the place they were headed.

The soilders walked towards the green empty ground where nothing was there except for the fact that they stood in the centre doing nothing for a couple of minutes.

Travis and Noah watched the whole scene far away popping their heads from the bushes only to realize,

~cr...r....eak...k~

The ground started shaking with mild vibration as the whole chunk of land lifted on it's own making a passage way to the underground and the soilders smoothly went inside.

"Now, What do we do ?", Noah was about to turn his head to Travis. ~Whoosh~  he already went inside the tunnel in his vampire speed.

"YOU assh**....e", Noah took a long breath stopping the curse word and followed his brother.

The tunnel was so quiet and empty that the echoes of one's footsteps could be heard all around. They entered the place before the gate shut close but then they could clearly hear and feel the two soilders far front walking towards somewhere in silence like some AI robots.

The tunnel was about the size, enough for a whole train to pass through it. The way went deeper into the ground as it was getting bigger and bigger.

"You okey ?", asked Ariel with a straight face without even a slightest concern on his expression but he was, inside.

"Hah.....hah..., haha", Matt raised his head exhausted towards Ariel and scoffed breathing heavily. Before he stood up from his knees, he took a good look at soilders on the ground in their deep sleep and he could feel the butterflies flying around their heads including his.

He jumped back to normal brushing dirt off his jeans. "Woooh, I feel good", he slightly jumped & warmed up his body maybe cause he was embarrased.

".....", Ariel walked through the empty strong metal gate that touched the ceiling inside the prison like building.

Matt tagged along.

They saw empty rooms without the doors along the way on both sides filled with old desks, tables and benches with utilities for office environments filled with dusts and spider webs.

Matt was tired of that place. It was getting on his nerve. Why such a tight security ? What were they trying to hide so bad from the world ? It wasn't small issue at all.

After four of them breached the wall, they easily went inside the building and it was so smooth. If it was a trap then what about saving August ? It was almost like someone was manipulating them. Why was everything silent ? What about the other soilders ? Where did the helicopter go carrying the Blue guy? Matt had all those thoughts running through his head. Even it was all schemes and they had to make plans, Ariel would do his way no matter what.

"Smirk", Matt saw Ariel giving a small mocking smile at the wall. A wall ? What is wrong with him ? Wait!!! it was giving faint red light hard to notice.

"Is that a camera ? As I thought, they are watching all along. What about Travis and Noah ? What's the plan now ?" , Matt was concerned about them rather than himself and Ariel saw August reflected in him or maybe August was his reflection.

"Don't worry. He is weak".

Matt then remembered August bragging about his master who saved him from losing humanity completely. 'He is the king of vampire and strongest one I have ever encountered. I am following him no matter what and I trust him, you know after you , hehe'.

Matt had small smile on his lips. Let's trust so called master of August for once.

"Oh! You know I heard a lot about you from August".
