It was now night time. It was dark, extremely dark. The school curfew had started as usual. It was around 12PM. Inside the woods, some group of people could be seen. They were twenty five in number. They were all Vampires. Out of the Twenty five of them; fourteen were female, while the remaining eleven were male.
"Why isn't he here yet." Arthur said looking at his left and right.
The others had noticed Arthur behavior. It looked like Arthur was scared of something. Arthur was the kind of person who always claimed to be bold and also pretended like he knew nothing like fear. But since that day, him and his roommates got attacked by the Dhampir, not only him, but his Roommates also were scared. They could remember the unknown person who claimed to be a Dhampir's message:
"Tell them their greatest enemies are coming."
"Tell them the Dhampir's are coming."
Of course how could Arthur, Simon, Raymond and Stefan not get scared. You're talking about a Dhampir. The race the Vampires are scared the most of.
It wasn't like the Vampires weren't scared of Werewolves. Vampires were naturally smarter than Werewolves and back at the Vampire Settlement, they even have advanced equipment they could use to overpower a Werewolf. This was why the Werewolves in general are scared of the Vampire Settlement.
The Werewolves are not scared of a single Vampire. They know what their claws can do to a Vampire. It slows down a Vampire healing process and in some cases if the Vampire doesn't get the required treatment he needs from the Vampire Settlement, it would result to that Vampire's death. Werewolves were scared of the entire Vampire Settlement.
To be precise, the Vampire King who was the commander general of the Vampire armies. The armies had things that could take down a Werewolf. If a Vampire King was willing, a Werewolf pack could become extinct in less than an hour. There was even a time, the Vampires brought the Werewolves to near extinction.
That was so many centuries ago. In the term when Technology had not gotten advanced. That time the Vampires was doing some kind of experiment and they needed Werewolves claws. This almost brought the Werewolves population to extinction and increasing the fear a Werewolf would have for the Vampire Settlement. It was also made illegal to kill a Werewolf, unless under two conditions:
The first one is your life must be in danger and two you must have been given order to kill the Werewolf by the King himself. Killing a Werewolf without the King's approval was considered treason. This was why the Vampires hadn't attacked the Werewolves in Fort Valor Military Academy. They needed proof that the Werewolves harmed their kind.
Back to Dhampirs. The Dhampir were like Vampires without the effect of the sun. Dhampir's could get stronger easily by killing a Vampire. In simple terms, the more Vampires a Dhampir kills, the more Stronger he becomes. The stronger it gets, the harder it is to kill him or her.
'Who knows how many Vampire that Dhampir has killed.' Arthur thought shaking slightly.
The Vampires started conversing among themselves. But their eyes were still sharpened if they heard any human footsteps especially from the Anti-Meta Human Officers.
In the group of Vampires was Alex Justin; Miller and Watson's roommate. He hadn't said a word since he arrived. Among these circles of Vampires, he was considered a nobody.
Whenever they had their Vampire meeting. It reminded Alex who he was back in the Vampire Settlement. He was a nobody, a son of a widow. Whenever he was with Watson and Miller, it made him feel better and his jokes were easily adorned by the two. Even though him and Catherine wasn't close enough, she didn't threat him like the way these Vampires did. Nor did Lillian, nor did Emily (before she got kidnapped).
"Alex." A Vampire girl by the name Alora Thomas called his name. Alex who had his face looking at the floor all this while raised it to look at her.
"You look hot..." She said a little bit stuttering as her cheeks went red "I mean you look more muscular or maybe athletic is the right word."
The other Vampires turned to look at Alex and it was true. His appearance changed a little. This was not unusual for a Vampire. Especially in the Vampire Settlement, when a Vampire is used as an experiment; their body would go tremendous changes. But Alex wasn't in the Vampire Settlement, he is in Fort Valor Military Academy, so how is that possible. They didn't think it was anyone of their business.
Footsteps could be heard heading there way. They knew who it was through the person's smell. It was Noah.
"Finally." Arthur uttered out.
As a form of respect for a Vampire Royal Knight, they all bowed down their heads.
"Thank you." Noah said to them. They were now no longer bowing down but looking at him.
Looking at Noah, they could see that he only wore a black trouser and wore a large black coat that stretched to his foot. He didn't wear any singlet or anything inside as his six packs abs could be seen clearly.
Noah was holding his right shoulder with his left hand, touching it like it was feeling pain.
"None of you know why this meeting was called." Noah said. "I think the previous Vampires were killed by the Werewolves."
They started to murmur among themselves.
"But we don't have proof yet?" Alex said.
Many of them looked at Alex instantly with disdain. Alex immediately bent his head. It was a clear reminder that he wasn't supposed to speak; besides he is not in the same class as them.
"This is what happened when i asked a Werewolf what happened to the previous Vampires." Noah said as he opened a part of his coat showing his left shoulder and now they could all see it.
'He was bitten by a Werewolf.'
