" Where's Nico?"
One of the vampires who was present asked to no one in particular, causing Percy to speak up," Probably supervising,Bob." and he then, shrugged his shoulders.
Coming to the main reason here, Ian said," It still surprises me that the human boy was able to communicate to Vera Kim's parents earlier." This was because the network in this university, was barred to ensure that their secrets as vampires would not leak to the outside world were hunters resides.
Any contributions about their existence around this place that was remote, could lead to another chaos...
" Who knows, maybe Will could be a hunter." Suggested June in her usual tone," I agree." Khali said," Out there, the humans are working and making new inventions and promoting technology-"
" Will must have known about us and probably brought along with him a communication device that would trespass the unavailable network and send informations from place to place!"Keaton chimed in," Therefore ladies and gentlemen, I hope that this calls for a warrant research."
"For once Keaton, I agree with you."
Then, the boy's lips pulled into a small smile.
...
Meanwhile,after Nico had stealthy sent the human girl away, whilst threatening her not to speak of whatever she'd seen today. He and Bob hoped into the black truck that was parked in Redwoods for sometime now and hit the road.
And about him instead of compelling or killing her , threatened her, Nico, trusted the girl not to speak..
The girl was like a little faun under the watch of a lion, who had wholeheartedly promised to cooperate with him, and if she didn't keep the promise?
He wasn't too sure..
However, the duo tore throughout the dark, driving in the direction of the forest in Redwoods that had tall trees grown upon its grounds that now looked pale in color. These forest trees moreover, are a shade of marron which is why they're called Redwoods...
Light rain, hitting the truck in which Bob drove in, with Nico.
About eleven minutes later, the car came to a stop at the deeper place of the woods, the headlights, off as soon as the car had stopped humming.
Nico got down and shut the door, followed by Bob who then walked to the trunk to pull the corpse of Vera Kim's father, for they'd run out of space at the university's backyard and soon, he started to make fresh grave, on the cemetery ground, with the other party, to stand by and watch.
The android,on which he'd carried along with, suddenly pinged with its screen to come on, showing the wallpaper on which he'd used for his lockscreen...This part of the forest, that was a cemetery, after all,had its network still running which was something that most of the students never knew..
Nico's thumb pad, swiped away the notificationsacross the screen of his phone, after he must have read it, staring now at the red bar that was at the top side of his phone.
It was twenty nine percent and he did not bother because it was going to last him for the next two to three days, before it trips off, depending on how much longer he used it.
Tossing the phone back into his pants pocket, he climbed on one of the trees and settled there.
Soon, Nico's eyes which had closed to sleep, suddenly snapped open to show his irises that had now turned red at the little time they had shut.
This was because, apart from them that were in this forest, it seemed like someone else had decided to show up..
In a little distance, from where their own truck was parked, another vehicle rode to a stop. A black SUV.
It contained people whom the vampires didn't get along with who at once, got down from the vehicle.
"I guess this is it." said one of them, whose hair was, styled galaxy and was braided. Cowries attached at very few places in his hair as well. A small cut, ran across his left eyebrow, and he moved in a semicircle, taking in the appearance of his environment.
" Birdie. Mark this place."came the hoarse command form the big dude.
The guy named Birdie, moved to carry out his boss's
order, when a woman fell next to him.
She asked," How sure are you?",her grey eyes, staring back at him to receive his curt reply," The trees are marron." Next, he crouched down to touch the ground, with the tip of his fingers, he rubbed the little sand that had come to stick to it." This place holds a good spirit-like atmosphere."
" I can sense it."agreed the woman who was with him,
" By tomorrow we shall come back to collect the saps from these trees till nothing else is left of it."he told her and stood up. " Those vampires wouldn't know what hit 'em." smirked one of them and started to walk back to the vehicle as soon as their boss moved.
He then, leaned on the vehicle with his arms crossed..
A few seconds passed, and he brought his hand that wore a wrist watch to his face to check the time, while turning impatient because one of them has not arrived for them to depart..
" Birdie. C'mon we have to go man!"
No response.
" Birdie?"
The lady, then, exchanged looks with him, causing him to lean away from their car, whilst, taking out the pistol gun in his pants, that already contained bullets.
" Birdie!" he called only to receive an echo of his voice, that scared the birds that were on the trees, away.
He corked the object in his grasp and turned on picking up the sound of something.
At the corner of his eye, slid a shadow causing him to turn another time .
Again, the shadow slid past him and as if knowing the direction from where it was going to attack , he turned in his own defense. Before the bullet of the gun could hit the intruder, like a flicker of light, he appeared infront of him, dodged to his side so that the bullet could pass and held his one hand, to twist it,with a sheen of annoyance in his red eyes.
The man groaned and Nico slammed him to the tree next to them, to pin him there, while bringing his hand that held the gun behind him, to hear him scream from pain, for he'd twisted it.
Now holding the man's gun, Nico turned to hit it on the person that'd come to attack him from behind,who staggered, then, towards the man he'd slammed earlier, he punched trice, pulled him to him by the collar and stationed his back as though he were a shield to the bullet that would have hit him, that now penetrated through the back of the man's neck.
After which, he dropped the human with a thud, for he was dead, blocked of the next person's hit and sent a punch to his face that now marked itself with his blood, followed by another hit from his gun hand. With the man to stagger from the painful hits,Nico, then, caught hold of his head and snapped it to hear the crack of his bone before he then slumped.
Suddenly, the vampire's face recoiled to the right, for an imbecile had managed to land a sudden successful punch at him.
And when Nico had turned to face him, he brought his hand up to reposition his jaw that shifted from the hit.
His red eyes glared at the human that now cowered back in fear, his hands that held his gun, trembled.
" Ah!" came the boy's scream, before he then opened his eyes that'd shut in fear. He saw the vampire halt a few good steps away from him with blood that was never on his left shoulder, now present.
Meanwhile, Nico bared his fangs from pain and turned to attack the person that shot him.
With anger already burning inside of him, he made the woman's death a quick one by pushing his hand through her chest, whereas, she croaked blood from her mouth from the sudden movement...
Nico's hand moved to the area where her heart was, and when he caught hold of it, he compressed it till it bursted
The woman's eyes turned hollow and dark, and she dropped dead.
With the human who was still alive, to witness this, he tried to run away. A few steps away from where he was, and he fell face flat, because, Nico had shot him twice from behind..
" Fuck!!" cursed Nico in a voice that was hoarse. The wound on his shoulder had started to sting and burn so much that took him quite a second to realize that it wasn't an ordinary bullet that just hit him. But that it was poisoned and could kill him if he let it stay...
Soon, the car that they have driven into the forest, started to go back in the direction that they'd come from.
Bob was safe..
Nico, ever so, could have teleported himself straight to Giselle, who was the school's doctor, but his condition only made things worse for it was ten times quicker than this hunker-junk that Bob, the gateman rode...
When the vehicle reached Redwoods, Nico was quick to come out of the car. He walked across the hallway that was empty and dark, heading towards the infrimary. His shoes, making prominent sounds with each step he took..
On getting there, he saw the doctor ready to leave with her hand to retrieve the metal key from the keyhole.
When she turned, she gave him a pointed look to question him," What are you still wandering about?"
" Adrian sent me on a message, and I got into a little fight." he replied her.
The woman then asked," So?"wondering why he was here. She noticed the sheen of sweat that had formed on his face, and dots of blood to stain his face, and around his neck,where, she got her answer when her gaze fell at his left shoulder that was tied with a piece of his jean trouser, that he'd torn off. The area on which was tied, was soaked red.
..
" How did this happen?" questioned the woman who was also a vampire as her duty here wasn't all to treat injured students, but at the same time, to keep the human students' blood stored for their use as vampires, where they are either canned or...just kept in blood bags, rather than direct feasting on the humans, for some of the vampires here, had higher thirst for blood than the rest, and therefore could drain up to five humans of blood till they died in just one day. That was why it was essential that they kept cans of blood and sold them in the cafeteria at higher prices that had coke a cola's naming on it.
If humans were to afford it and drink, it was of rare occasions. Besides it would do no harm to them, but instead top their level of blood, also, for to them, it would taste like any other regular coke drink due to their low taste buds when it comes to processed blood.
Nico was sitting down on one of the infrimary beds that was pushed to the wall and then, gave her a summary of what had happened and every once in a while, he winced.
Giselle pulled a bottle of spirit and poured it inside the cap to pour the hot liquid on the boy's wound so that she could clean the blackish color that had started to spread across his pale but fair skin, to show how much of a damage it could cause if the black poison reached his heart.
As vampires, their hearts were slightly dead or rotten, whichever way you call it.
Slightly, because it was the blood that they fed on that kept it fresh and still functioning.. and if you noticed so closely, you'd know that all the vampires here, had paler skin tones compared to the humans...
" Fortunately, it didn't hit your bone." Giselle told him and in a husky nonchalant tone, he said," Just get it out."
