Chereads / Traveler's Adventure / Chapter 8 - The Sight

Chapter 8 - The Sight

In a blink of an eye, Evielyn was already behind the little girl holding a sword and quickly slash it to the big creature in front of her daughter.

Evielyn brought her daughter to a very known and strongest Magus of all ages.

"Please Kouzlo, only a strong Magus can do this." Evielyn said to the Magus.

"Mom?" The little girl innocently called her mom.

"It's okay honey. It's for the best." She replied as she continued on tieing her into the chair.

"You're not protecting her, you're deceiving her." Kouzlo told her making sure she knows what she's doing.

"For as long as possible, Kouzlo." She replied worriedly.

"She won't be a child forever, Evielyn." Kouzlo stared at her with disbelief as the little girl looked to the both of them innocently while talking.

"For now." She sighed. "I don't want her to be part of our world." She worriedly replied to Kouzlo and turned her gaze towards her daughter.

"Mom… I don't wanna do this." She said looking at the guy beside her and is about to cry because of fear.

"Please take her memories."

Without a choice, the Magus then swirled his fingers creating a silvery dust to it and placed it near the forehead of the child as if, his pulling something from the little girl's head a blueish smoke appeared over her forehead as it creates a ball of smoke into his palm.

And Evielyn went back to her senses as Damon keeps on calling her name, almost shouting.

"Evielyn! Evielyn! Evielyn…" he stopped as he already caught her attention. "I've been talking to you and yet, you're not listening." he added.

"Look at the drawings." She looked towards Damon while taking Eviery's sketch pad place on the table. "It's already happening." Anxious Evielyn added.

Eviery's sketch pad has different kinds of runes that she had drawn out of nowhere. It only happens, patterns would appear over her head and without her knowing she will draw it without any meaning.

Damon sighs. "We both knew this time is coming. We'll tell her together." He said calming Evielyn.

"No, it was my choice, I'll do it alone." She said with a stance in her voice her eyes slowly formed a cloud of tears as Damon put her in his warm embrace.

"Well, do it soon. Because if she's unprepared, your life is in danger. And so as Eviery's." He muttered.

They arrived at the club located at the town of Ash Ville, from what they saw which is written on the road sign. They passed through a dark alley where, only few people were walking and smokes were all over the place. The club looked really lit and normal, as a lot of people are going in and out. Outside the club, some are clustered standing and are just talking, some are just simply smoking and a few are drunk waiting for a cab.

Peter somehow, couldn't understand what he is feeling. His gut is telling him not to be so complacent, this place is too good to be true. He could sense that something is wrong, people in this club are not only composed of just humans, he knew that there are different creatures are mingling and pretending to be human.

He continued to observe the place as they entered the club. His eyes were focused and vigilant to everyone's movement. Eviery lead them to the table right at the corner, she was holding Nathalie's wrist, when she happened to stumble to a guy holding a silvery sword which sparkled for a moment as the guy narrowed his eyes towards Eviery.

"Hey! Can you watch where you're going!" She exclaimed.

"You can see me?" The guy confusedly asked facing Eviery while clenching his jaw. His eyes are as gray as an ash while his hair was blonde, he has this perfectly carved jawlines and a thin pink lips. He is wearing an all black leather suit that made him look awfully cool.

"Yeah…? That's kind of the point, but you obviously didn't see me." Eviery replied rolling her eyes.

Peter gritted his teeth upon seeing the guy's intense look as he wielded his sword towards the two women and immediately rushed into their direction.

"Easy there, bud!" Peter said hurriedly as he tapped the guy's hand to stop him as he lifted his silvery sword gazing directly into the guy's eyes.

"You, too? You guys have the sight." The guy added narrowing his eyes even more and stared at Peter and then his gaze transferred to Eviery and Nathalie while staring at them from head to toe. "I can sense that you're just a mundane. But how come...you are able to see me? How can I not know who you are?" He added as he looked towards Jacob and Simon who just arrived from the bar counter. Jacob frowned upon realizing the situation and automatically took his dagger from his pocket and moved closer to Peter.

"What is it guys? What are you looking at?" Simon asked innocently and stared at the direction where the four of them are staring. "Do you wanna dance already?" He added not seeing anything aside from the people dancing on the dance floor.

Everyone looked at Simon confused, except for the guy who is already smirking. "I must say… This guy here is the REAL mundane." He said as he walked towards Simon and circled him as he stared at Simon intently.

"What are you doing?" Eviery started to panic and asked the guy.

"Eve…guys... what is it? You're scaring me." Simon said with a frightened voice.

They heard a sudden commotion behind the thick blinds that separated the VIP area from everyone. The gray eyed guy looked behind them as the four of them looked around all together panicking. Simon still has no freaking idea of what was going on.

"Shit!" The guy gritted his teeth and immediately ran over that area.

Peter, Nathalie and Jacob suddenly heard glass and tables have been broken and a 'Raaaawr! And hssssst'. Nathalie couldn't contain her fear and stepped back while she turned her gaze to Peter with a horrified look.

The crowd was not aware of what is happening behind the thick blinds as they continued on dancing their hearts out.

"You guys stay here and I'll go." Peter ordered while his eyes were all over the room.

"No! We don't know what's in there!" Nathalie blocked him, she is already freaking out because of the noise she's hearing coming from that area.

"I'll go with you, Master." Jacob interrupted.

"No, Jacob. You must stay here and be their guard." Peter declined. "Do not stay close to this area… move now!" He exclaimed. Without further ado, Jacob guided the two woman to the opposite corner of the club as Simon just followed them hesitating and without any knowledge of what is going on. Eviery stayed silent weighing the current situation.

Once Peter is certain that his comrade is already on the opposite corner, he shoved off towards the thick blinds and slowly touched the curtain and moved it sideways enough for him to enter the room.

A devastating scene greeted him the moment he entered the VIP room. The guy from a while ago was encircled by three other guys with long and thick nails, their fangs are out as they opened their mouths, their eyes are blazing red. A Vampire.

On the other side, there were a guy who's also wearing a leather jacket and with a bow in his hand, his hair is as black as his leather jacket.

"Khalid!" The black haired guy shouted and releases his arrow that hits the heart of the Vampire behind the guy from a while ago, the gray eyed guy.

Other Vampires are at the other corner, draining a human's blood. Peter snapped out and clenched his jaw and took the golden shaft of his sword from his pocket. The blade suddenly appeared long and sharp.

He quickly ran over the Vampire to help the woman who was currently drained with blood but another Vampire attacked him. He quickly welded his sword and slashed it directly into the Vampires chest and stabbing its heart.

Meanwhile, swords flashed and clanged against another, roars echoed, and there was no shortage of blood and dead bodies being scattered everywhere – Demons like Vampires, once they weaken, they will eventually die and disappear like dust.

More Vampires attacked Peter before he could reached the Vampire draining a woman's blood, he kicked it causing the Vampire to flew away as he immediately grabbed the weakened woman and let her sit into the other corner. He turned around and face the Vampire again but he froze the moment he saw the agitated reaction of the Vampire, no, it doesn't look like a Vampire anymore. 'What the hell! There are other living creatures here aside from Vampires?!' thoughts ran over his head.

The once Vampire has become another awful looking creature. Now, tentacles started to come out from its mouth as it roared over Peter.

Peter couldn't move, he was like nailed from where he was standing as the creature slowly walked into his direction.
