As they continue to cheer and merry, all for this day; the feast of blood had happened as tradition had been honoured. Cora, the most pretty vampiress obeyed the voice of her lord, Theodore and opened the neck of the girl with her long pointed canine.
This, also caused more hurray, as they all now assembled into a circle and waited for the cup that will pass through among them.
For in accordance they shall drink and in the order, they bow in the power of the feast of blood and the night shall be honoured and the "turned" shall be set to the boundary.
It was in practice that on the night of the feast of blood, only the original vampires shall drink the blood and the "turned" shall be initiated into knowledge that they are the pawns.
For missions will be given to them and each one who can be successful will be rewarded with a promotion to become a senior to the pawns.
"Argh! Aargh!"
The misery of Adeline had not stopped as this time she had been double-crossed by the Vam Hunters.

(Adam part of the story)
Since the beginning of days, humans created a defence for themselves and a way to war against their oppressors. This set of men had come together to indoctrinate themselves in the will to save the human race from being drunk as wine and save their loved ones from being turned.
The Vam hunters as history foretold had been able to kill many vampires but not a single original. For the originals were much more powerful than their daggers which were forged in the ashes of the cursed or their swords which were also forged in the ashes.
For it is a piece of common knowledge that the vampires cannot withstand the ashes thrown unto them as this can result in killing them in this way, most turned sent to kill them have been burnt for the ashes were powerful against them.
The ashes of the cursed came from the temple forbidden for the vampires. According to history, the ashes of the cursed were the remnant of the burnt witches gathered up in the temple of Livee.
Also, it was believed that the witches and the vampires were the light and the darkness who had never agreed but against one another and it had been this reason the originals found a way to set their temple on fire and finally burnt every last one of them.
But while they had been burnt alive, their high priestess cursed the originals.
"In the name of the devil and Satan, in the power of the fire, their ashes shall be a curse unto them who kill them today and until forever shall they; the vampires, be afraid of the power even from their ashes." The high priestess screamed as she burned with fire and pain.
"From the dark of the night til the light of the morning shall this one be held and like the others, her head will be taken into the city to demonstrate that the Vam hunters still exist," Adam said among the rest of the Vam hunters as they all chuckled and got ready to swing into action against Adeline.
"I am not like the others, I don't want to hurt you." Adeline blurted as she also began to walk slowly and backwards with her claws which immediately grew out of her fingers.
"Go out of my way, I don't want to hurt you," Adeline said again. But the Vam hunters misunderstood her words as a result of fear. In their experience, most vampires had always said the same and they had always chopped off their heads or cut open their hearts so that their skin would not regenerate and it can be established that they had been killed.
Verily, even if Adeline had not been as powerful as the rest of the originals, she had been more powerful than the turns. The blood that runs through her body is of the elders and this also made her as dangerous as Cyrus.
In a blink of an eye, she grabbed one of the Vam hunters and pinched his neck with her claws.
"If you walk any step closer, I will not hesitate to make this place a pond of blood" Adeline interjected as Adam had almost run to her and the others in his footsteps.
"I will drain him of blood and so will I do unto each and last of you if you will not let me go in this instance." Adeline furthered in saying at the top of her voice but if they had listened it was a lie.
"You know bloodsucker, it's what they always say before we will chop off their heads and hang them onto a tree for people to see." Adam blurted with a smirk.
In this way, the rest of the hunters also laughed following what Adam said. They also begin to circle Adeline so that they may capture her.
As one swung out his sword, another one brought out his dagger and they kept revealing their grin in derision.
"You know bloodsucker, you seemed different. You are not breathing in a laboured manner, you are not quick for scram. You are calm and patient even as you have seen us gathered up against you."
"You threatened us instead. This, your kind, has never done. They were either panting or trying to result in rabbit feet as they have seen the ashes which makes them uncomfortable. You are different. I must confess. I am beginning to like you. If you were human, I would marry you and fuck you and you will birth me a daughter who will be just like you and she will call me dada." Adam mocked as he had not stopped to walk closer.
This caused the rest of the hunters into more laughter and uncontrollably as they all opened their mouths and lifted their heads.
"You see, bloodsucker, we have been taught to not let the devil go away even at the expense of one of us. If he dies, we will bury him and he knows he died for a greater cause. If you turn him, we will then kill him by ourselves. For none of us will become the devil and eat man's blood as food." Adam furthered as he now halted before Adeline and her captive.
"I swear to God, bloodsucker, I will happily kill you this night and drain your body of blood and your heart I will cut open just like I did many others before you." said again Adam as he looked straight into the eyes of Adeline whose eyes already turned dark and indeed ready for battle.
Immediately as Adam threw a handful of the ashes unto Adeline that she might be hurt and rendered less powerful, the rest of the Vam hunters gathered up and rounded her in a circle.
The ones with the rope were already swinging the rope too fast to catch the vampiress and delay her against her attacks. The others with the daggers were already running closer to cut her skin as the ashes the dagger was forged with will take more effect on her. And the ones with the swords were heading to perforate her stomach so that she may fall onto the ground and they could chop off her head.
All these moves were futile. Even when the rope was thrown against her she had been able to cut it loose with her claws and immediately, her victim, she let go. In a blink of an eye; blurry, she took Adam away from among them.

(Cora's part of the Story
The cups were served as Geraldine's neck had been cut open by Cora and the order of Theodore and the tradition were being upheld.
For each one of the originals, Cora waited for their cups to be served before she continued with her words. When it was so that all of the originals had been holding the cup. They laid Geraldine on the placement and allowed her blood to stream in their cups one after another.
Cora handed a cup firstly to Theodore before she filled up her cup. And after her, the turns ordered themselves into a queue as they walked slowly to the placement and had their cups filled up with blood.
