Mary and her friends left the city the next day. They rode on two horses that they bought. The boys rode on one and the girls rode on the other.
" Is it true what you said Mary ?"
Elaine ask.
" Yes, the Governor framed Roselina for the assassination attempt in other to capture her "
" Now it all make sense, why would she hire assassin to kill the Governor then foiled it herself ? "
Rickey said.
" It's a stupid tactic if you ask me "
Jimmy said.
" From what the source told me, roselina was taken away by a Vampire.. We might suspect that the vampire is connected to the zeroth faction "
Mary explain but Elaine doesn't seem to know who they are.
" The zeroth factions is faction is the most dangerous of the vampire faction, they have been attacking humans and turning them to slaves and use them for experiments "
" What kind of experiments? "
Jimmy asked, Mary answers his question
" they use humans as test subject to create drugs to improve their strength "
" And now we are going to walk through the front door of their homes "
Rickey sigh.
" I hope this is all worth it Mary "
" Trust me "
Later that night, they finally arrived at the Zeroth Faction only to be surprised to see that it was completely destroyed. It walks was broken, the houses and the castle was smashed beyond repair.
They were completely and in total shock.
" Damn, it looks like a storm passed through here "
Said Rickey
" It seems the information we received was true "
Mary walked through the street only to find broken building and debris. Most of the ground was burned, as if lightning struck the ground. There was aslo claw marks on the ground and on the wall as if beast made it.
" Who could have done this? "
Ask Elaine.
- Mary.. I sense a Survivor -
Said Lelia who was in Mary's shadow.
- Where -
After Lelia tells Mary the location of a human that was present.
" Guy. I sense something here "
Mary called out to her friends.
" Really, where? "
They followed Mary to through the street and near the broken castle. There was a man there salvaging through the rubble for treasure.
" Excuse me "
Mary called out but as soon as he saw her, he ran off. Mary and the other ran after the man.
" We just want to talk "
They continue to chase after him until they cornered him between two houses.
" What, what do you want from me!? "
He scaredly ask
" We don't want anything, we just want to talk to you "
Elaine said.
" Talk to me? "
" Can you tell us, what happened here? "
Mary ask.
" For 10 years, For 10 long years I've been a slave of these vampires. They came out of nowhere and kidnapped my family and turned us into slaves.. We suffered day after day in pain, If we rebelled they would kill us and suck us dry on the spot without mercy "
" Yea but now did you escape and how was the city destroyed ?"
" We didn't escape, it was two Vampire girls that wiped them out "
" Two vampires, what did they look like? "
Rickey ask.
" One was a small girl, with Long white twin tails and the other was a maid with a eyepatch, they wiped out the vampires in one night.. They create blood out of thin air, turned the sky red and rained down crimson thunder "
The man explain.
- ask them their names, the one with the eyepatch could be my master -
Lelia whispered to mary.
" the girl with the white hair. Was her name Roselina Lambrosa De Valentine? "
Mary ask.
" Yes, how do you know? "
The man ask. Mary look around at all the destruction.
( Roselina did all this? )
She ask herself in disbelief.
" The other ones name was Silvia Estabon De Valentine "
The man said.
" Silvia, Not Vivian ?"
" No "
" What's wrong Mary, did you pick up on anything ?"
Jimmy ask.
" No, I was just think about something, "
" For your friend to be able to wipe out an entire city of vampires, she is very power, is this the power of a True Vampire ?"
Rickey ask.
" Maybe ?"
Mary started picture roselina's True form, wondering if it's that power that's responsible for what happened. Suddenly some of the soilders from the magadan arrived on horse back. The sounds of the horses feet trampling the road towards the city.
" We've got company "
Rickey said.
" We should hide before they see us "
At that time, mary and the others was busy focus on the soldiers not noticing the man that's with them snuck away.The soldiers arrived at the gate and see the destroyed city. They wore the same suprised expression on their faces.
" It seems the report was true, Search the city "
Dean ordered his men to look around the destroyed city.
" What could have done this much damage? "
Dean ask himself.
In the meantime
Mary and her friends watched from a distance, secretly evading the soldier that were looking around the city.
" Check over there "
Said one soldier to the other, the soldiers looks at a section of the destroyed house and look around. He was completely unaware that Mary and her friend was hiding behind a wall right in front of him.
" There is nothing there "
" Then let's keep looking "
And so the soldiers left.
" That was close "
" We should get out of here before we get caught "
Mary and her friend continue to sneak around when they hear a soldier shout that they have caught someone.
" Could it be that man from earlier? "
Elaine ask.
In the meantime
The man was captured by soldiers and placed before Dean and the rest of the soldiers.
"He found him hiding in a barrel sir, We believe he is a slave sir "
Dean walked up to the man and look at him.
" Are you a slave? "
" I was one "
" What are you doing here ? "
The man started explaining the same thing he told mary, and the others. Dean listened to his story with great interest until he takes out a picture of roselina.
" This girl, do you know her ? She is believe to be a vampire
Dean ask.
" Yea, She's the one responsible for destroying everything her, She the one who wiped out all the vampires "
The mans word sprung a bit of fear into the hearts of the soldiers.
" There was some people here asking for her, they seem to know more about her, ask them and let me go instead "
" These people, are they still here? "
Dean ask.
" Yes they are "
" Check every nook and cranny, find these people, bring them to me alive "
Dean ordered.
The soldiers started looking around for Mary and the others. They check behind every barrel, rubble and wall for them.
Mary and the others ran off.
"There, I found them.. Halt "
Shout a soldiers.
" It seems we've been found out "
" Keep running "
Mary and her friend kept running and running from the soldiers that gathered to chase them. They ran around corners leap over broken walls only to be cornered.
" It's a dead end"
Elaine said.
" What do we do? "
" We fight "
Mary drew her new sword and prepared for battle.
" We can't take that much soldier on our own "
Rickey said.
" We have to, it's the only way we got "
" Have you forgotten that I am here ?"
Lelia ask, suddenly Mary and her friends was swarmed by bats and they vanished without a trace. The soldiers arrived at the scene and found no one around. They return to Dean and reported what the found out.
" One might they are there and the next they were gone "
A soldier said.
" You think its a vampire ?"
" We don't know sir "
" I see "
Dean drew his sword.
" What are you doing, spare me I be.... "
Dean got the man's head off and sheath his sword.
" Let's report back to his highness "
" Yes sir "
Dean and his soldier returned back the city and report everything to the governor. The governor leaned back in his office chair
" That concludes the report sir "
" So, my greatest enemy the zeroth faction was destroyed and I made enemies of an even greater foe "
The governor looks at Katrina.
" Did you know this ?"
He ask.
" Yes "
" then we should...."
" Father! "
Fiora open the door with a fit of rage "
" I heard everything, father how could you frame an innocent girl like that ?"
" what are you talking about? "
Fiora started to cry.
" I heard you overtalking, you framed Roselina so you could capture her "
" Fiora listen "
" How could you father ?..I hate you "
Fiora ran out crying. The governor remained unfazed.
" brother, We should be careful "
Katrina said.
" Yes, I'm afraid we have an even greater foe "
In the meantime ,in the woods outside the city.
" Everyone this is Lelia, she's a vampire "
Mary introduced Lelia to Rickey, Elaine and Jimmy.
" Are you the one who rescued is earlier? "
Elaine ask, Lelia respond yes.
" You know, I thought vampires was scary and ugly looking monsters "
" Well, I though humans was monkey "
Lelia insults Rickey.
" Is she going to travel with us? "
Elaine ask.
" Yes I'll be travelling with you.. please, let's get along "
Lelia said.
