Red Diamonds

Chapter 15: Entering the organization

Bra!kkkk!!

Prangg!!

All the things on his desk were scattered and smashed on the floor. Ethan's been scattering and breaking stuff there a few times. He also looks quiet. His expression was full of anger. Even during the schedule of the visit \checking people in the village, he did not come. He just locked himself in his room. Esther and the others started to worry. Ethan has no appetite either. He'd rather lock himself up. He was so angry at her, cursed at her. Because she's in love with Malvia. He should never have fallen in love with her. He should have hated it. But foolishly he fell in love with the kind that had killed Sofia?! He's totally nuts!

Tok tok tok tok

"I don't want to be disturbed!" peek Ethan's.

"Tap-but sir." Esther's voice rang out. "Mr Martinez and Mr. Saliz are there... It's down below. She-"

K\rekk

Pi\ntu open. Esther can see Ethan looking messy. Her clothes were shabby, her hair looked tangled. Esther had not seen her master's appearance since the death of Lady Sofia.

Ethan walks out of his study and heads to the living room, tidying up his clothes and hair.

"What's wrong with you Sanders? Why do you look like that?" micah asks who found Ethan to be bad.

"What's wrong?" ethan asked without caring about the questions of his two friends.

"Have you forgotten we had a meeting tonight with the members?" ask Micah. Ethan sat in one of the chairs. He tidied up his clothes.

"I heard someone wanted to get into our group" Jorge said.

"Which crazy person wants to join? The condition is to kill or catch as many vampires as possible and now vampires are almost extinct. It's hard to find them" Micah said.

"But it's true Micah. I heard he was carrying a cart full of vampire corpses!"

"I told you not to joke!"

"But I-"

Esther gives Ethan a letter. Everyone was silent to see it. Ethan opened the letter and read it. Ethan read it expressionlessly. He took a breath and closed the letter.

"What time is the meeting?" ask Ethan.

"As usual. Whahuh? What was? What's the letter?" ask Micah.

"Jorge's right. There's someone who's exterminating vampires" Ethan said.

"seen? I right?"

"Then what should we do?" ask Micah.

"We'll see him tonight. We'll see if he can really get in." replied Ethan.

"Gee! Don't forget to ask where he found the vampires. We've been looking for them but he found them easily. Is it possible that she's a vampire too?"

"Hey! Don't infer anything crazy. Maybe a vampire. You know, though, they look like humans, but they're different."

"Yes knows. But it might, right?"

"All right, you guys just go home. We'll meet tonight." said Ethan, then headed to his study.

***

A room that is quite large and magnificent filled by several people. Some wore their best clothes, some looked ordinary. Nobles and commoners gathered into one. But of course they are still differentiated into status. Nobles should be with fellow nobles. They each spoke to each other making the room boisterous.

The prime minister came and immediately sat on the podium seat with his two followers standing right on the right and left. Malvia was in that crowd. Malvia could already control the desire to drink the blood of these humans, so she could easily blend in.

The prime minister raised his hand, made everyone fall silent and looked at him.

"Good night ladies and gentlemen!"

Everyone answered the greetings from Rouglas.

"Let's start this show" Rouglas said. "Her report."

Malvia frowned. Madam Jade said their leader was a young man. But Rouglas was not a young man but a middle-aged man who was around his fifties.

"So the princess hasn't come out yet?" ask Rouglas.

"Not yet sir."

"How many vampires have you killed?"

"Where is the girl?" ask Rouglas again. Everyone looked at Malvia. Malvia who noticed that and directly came out from the crowd. Malvia wore her long black dress. Her hair was allowed to unravel but neatly arranged.

"Miss..."

"Elizabeth Adams, sir" said Malvia, bowing respectfully.

"All right, miss Adams. I heard something surprising about you."

Some people came in and showed the bodies of the dead vampires at the hands of Malvia. Rouglas stood up from his seat and walked over. He watched all the vampire corpses. All those vampires look torn apart and destroyed.

"Why are their bodies like this?" ask Rouglas.

"To make sure they're really dead, sir. Burning them will make it difficult for me to give you evidence" Malvia said.

"And you did all this yourself?"

"No sir. With my sister and my two servants."

Rouglas nodded then returned to his seat.

"Burn them!" saith. Some people came forward and brought the pile of vampire corpses out.

"Now Miss Adams, can you share with us, how can you get them? Maybe someone can follow in your footsteps."

"Bring him in." asked Malvia to Gabriel. Gabriel nodded then went out of the room. Before long he went inside again carrying a man who was bound by a silver chain. That guy looks weak.

"He is a vampire. I found him without killing him, followed him to his kesar." Malvia explained.

"Without being discovered you are human? It's impossible." replied one of the people. Malvia looked at the man.

"It's certainly possible, if we do it right." said Malvia made everyone more curious.

Flashbacks

Shouts were heard in the cave. All the vampires screamed at the sight of one vampire starting to craze and kill several other vampires. Others try to hold back but are targeted or even crashed far away. Malavia saw that and helped them. Malvia restrains and presses the man's body against the wall of the cave. Malvia may be a woman but she is the crown princess, she is much stronger. Malvia took her hand off the man then..

Cracks!!

Malvia broke her neck. The man is dead but he will live again but it takes time.

"Now tell me, what's going on?" ask Malvia.

"He's.... Go mad from hunger and get a sword scratch."

"Swield scrawl?"

"Yes your honor. That scratch wound... The wound... Not healed."

Malvia examined the man's body. There were a dozen sword strokes on the man's arm. The scratches were not large and deep. But the scratch looks small just blackened almost all over his body.

"What's this?" ask Malvia. He looked surprised by the wound.

"The wound is a sword. The sword is weird, I guess. I meani... Just a single stab of that sword could kill us all!"

Malvia. He remembered the sword. He recalled one person carrying a sword that was different from the others. The sword killed his parents and brother. What sword is that??

"I need your help" said Malvia at last. Everyone stared at each other for a moment then looked back at Malvia. "I have a plan to blend into being human and enter their organization. I know that those who have the sword are men. That's why I want to get into his organization. But I need your help."

"Ba-what help?"

"Help me collect vampire corpses, I need them. The requirement to enter the organization was to kill many vampires. And I think this is enough. And since he's crazy and doesn't know anyone anymore, I'm gonna make him a scapegoat. What's... You guys gonna be able to help me?"

Everyone is silent. They seem to be with their own thoughts.

"I'll help you with whatever I can. For revenge" said one vampire.

"I am too."

"I am too."

All agreed to help Malvia. Malvia smile. This will ease the way.
