Red Diamonds

Chapter 11: Animal Blood

Malvia awakened one by one her people. But even though they had been sober, they seemed to lose their sense of direction. Some people can still be saved but others, absolutely will not survive.

"You wait here and I beg you to hang on." Malvia is gone. He was also confused as to why his vampire strength was functioning here and he did not become weak. Malvia is looking for a way out. Whatever path made him out of the woods. I don't know where to go. He kept walking and made a sign on the tree on the path he had been walking on. He tore off his gauntlet and his tear was put on the tree. Not even a bird would stop in the forest. Malvia found some way out but all were taken care of by other people. The only way is night.

"Let's get out of here before it gets dark" Malvia said, addressing one of them. "Hold on. We have to survive."

"We... Would... Where's where?"

"Get out of here. The only way you guys live."

Marlvia uses her vampire powers to dart following the sign she made until it reaches near the mouth of the forest. Malvia put down the vampire she was treating, leaning there.

"Wait, right here. I'll bring another one. There are many others outside. So don't go anywhere. Youunderstand?" malvia. The vampire nodded. Malvia soon darted and brought one vampire after another.

"We'll wait here for a while and wait for the night."

They sat and leaned against the tree waiting for the night to come soon.

The sky is getting darker. Malvia is waiting. He stood up and walked closer to the end of the forest. He saw some people moving away to take turns to keep watch.

"Let's go! Now!"

Malvia brought two people at once and another one that still looked better than the other two, walked though slowly. Malvia darted away by the side of the forest and then moved away, as far as she could and entered the other forest and returned to pick up another one.

"We should eat. To restore your energy." said Malvia.

"But where can we find humans?"

"No! Not human. We're going to drink animal blood" Malvia said.

"What?"

"If we drink human blood it will be very risky for us, especially now they are looking for our existence. I know animal blood won't make us stronger but at least our energy will come back and it's enough to go further from here" Malvia said. Everyone looked at each other and nodded. "But first, we have to find a safe place."

Malvia returned to one man and another to take his friend. They walked through the forest and got into it. They found a goa. Malvia felt no one but them. He sharpened his hearing. He still didn't hear anything. Malvia brought them into the cave and sat them on the wall of the cave.

"It looks like it's a pretty safe place for a while. This forest is still in human territory. So we still have to be careful. I don't think we'll get anything to eat. Can you guys wait?" ask Malvia.

"Of course, your honor. After coming out of that forest, our energy slowly recovered. But we're just hungry right now. It can wait, the problem is, we can't go out in the middle of the day like you" said the female vampire.

"You know who I am?" ask Malvia.

"Of course, your honor. Crown Princess Malvia Wycliff. I'm the janitor in Caroline's daughter's room."

"Ahh deserve you to look familiar. I'll go find food. You better get some rest first."

Malvia rested her body. Although he only managed to save five vampires. Malvia stared out of the cave. It rained down hard. It reminded him of Ethan. The man who saved her, the man who was always there for her. The man he loves. She misses him so much. Is she okay? He saved her to the end. Malvia was worried. He's afraid Ethan will get hurt for protecting him. In the midst of his revenge to avenge the death of his family and his people, he falls in love. She doesn't want to lose the person she loves anymore. No more. Malvia closed her eyes and fell asleep.

...***...

Brakk!!

Two strapped reindeer fell right in front of the four sleeping vampires. The vampires were shocked and woke up. They looked at the two deer and then looked at Malvia.

"What are you waiting for? Let's eat!" malvia. They all directly devoured the two deer in turn. "Uhmm seems less. I'll look for it again. What about the wild boar? I met that pig. I'll take it."

Malvia again darted away looking for some animals to drink his blood. Until it gathers enough to release their hunger.

"How now?" ask one of the vampire men.

"Obviously, get out of here. We can't stay in one place for long. But first, we get rid of the carcasses of these animals" said Malvia. Everyone nodded.

They sat quietly waiting for the dark. As the sun of the missile began to dissipate, they came out to make a hole with makeshift tools to bury the carcass of the animal. After that they went to find a safe place. But Malvia wanted to see the remains of her people. So they went to the territory of the Vampires. Malvia knew it was very risky but she really wanted to see it. The other vampires agreed.

They enter their own territory. They feel the existence of other people, but not too much. The problem is that one of the races is a werewolf who will hear even smell them if they approach. So they could only see the ruins from afar. Yes, the castle collapsed, flattened to the ground. There's no sign of vampires there. Even Malvia could see the whole vampire house was destroyed.

"Calm down. Don't give them a reason to kill you. There will be a time for revenge" Malvia said.

"But how is it noble?"

"I have a way. We're gonna be human."

"What?"

"Don't talk about it here. Let's go." Malvia darted away in the follow of another vampire. They went back into the forest, away from their territory.

"Wait a minute, but how is it noble? We can't be human, we're too different. Eyes and skin. It won't."

"could. Did you not notice your change?" malvia. "Come here."

Malvia took her out into the open. They stand in the moonlight.

"Look yourself out."

All the vampires stared at each other.

"Your skin..."

"No... Your eyes."

Everyone was surprised and confused.

"It's all because of the blood of animals. All this time we always drink human blood and are reluctant to drink animal blood of course because it tastes much different. It makes us look like ordinary people. Now, we're just looking for a place to live" Malvia said.

"But your honor, we can't walk in the sunshine like you."

"You can." Malvia took out her fangs and then bit her own hands. "Drink."

"Ti-no your majesty" said one of the vampires. "We don't dare. Thou... It's the royal family. We're not-"

"It's an order!"

Everyone look at each other. Malvia pulled out her fangs again and bit back her healed hand.

"Quick! If you want to live, drink up!" malvia's orders. The first female vampire drank it. Then take turns with the male vampire. "Good, now you will be able to walk during the day as long as you drink my blood every day. You understand?" all the vampires nodded. "Now I need your names."

"My name is Alice, your majesty." The female vampire named Alice bowed her respects to Malvia.

"I'm Peter."

"And I'm Carlos."

"Well, let's go to the territory of the people and hide first waiting for noon. After that, we can go out and mingle."

All nodded steadily. All sets.

...***...

Tomorrow they mingle with humans. Of course, before they drank Malvian blood first. At first they hesitated, but Malvia convinced them. Of course Malvia had done that before to her personal servant and it worked!

Malvia went to a jewelry store. She sold all her jewelry she had worn while running away. Only one he kept. A typical vampire royal ring. He'll get caught if the ring gets seen.

Money from selling Malvian jewelry used to buy an old bar. He'll run a bar with the other three vampires. She disguises herself as Lady Isabella with Peter as her brother, Anthony and two servants Carlos being Gabriel and Alice being Sarah.

They open a bar in town, find out what happened. And of course, let's start the revenge!
