Red Diamonds
Chapter 9: Escape
"You won't survive in my hands, you fucking bloodsucker!" the man raised his sword high. He swung his sword.
Klang's!
The sword came into contact with the other sword.
"Isabella, Run!!" peek Ethan's. Isabella shed her tears looking at Ethan who was holding the man back. He didn't want to leave, he wanted to explain the problem. He wants to stay with Ethan. But seeing Ethan having a hard time withstanding the man's attack, Isabella chooses to leave using her vampire powers.
Ethan was on the ground. The man's sword was directed at him.
"Sanders! How dare! So you've been protecting that bloodsucker all this time?!" scream at the man. Some men came with their torches.
"What is this Frederick?" ask the prime minister.
"Sanders lied to us all this time, Mr. prime minister! He's hiding a bloodsucker!" frederick.
"What's? Sanders, really?"
Ethan who was still sitting on the ground did not answer. Breath hunting.
"Look sir! He just shut up! That means it's true!" said Frederick again.
"Ethan Sanders!" call the prime minister to wake up Ethan who is still silent. Ethan stood up and cleaned his clothes.
"Don't try to dodge, Sanders!" Frederick stared hard. Ethan returned Frederick's stare.
"I won't dodge. Yeah, I know he's a vampire and he's been with me the whole time" Ethan said, still staring at Frederick. Everyone was shocked and started talking to each other.
"Look! He even admitted it. Hmh!" Frederick spit near Ethan's feet. "Sacred to be a doctor!"
"I did hide it, but you ruined my plan!" ethan said in a voice no less loud than Frederick.
"Plan? What do you mean by re-discourse?" ask the prime minister.
"I'm sure he just made it up, sir. He must be lying!"
"Be quiet Frederick! Let him explain." said the prime minister. "Say Sanders! I don't want that shit coming out of your mouth!"
"Damn!" ethan's Oath. "I did know he was a vampire ever since I found him wounded. I healed him and hid him, because I wanted to hurt him!"
"What's? What nonsense is that?!"
"Hey! I don't care if you don't believe me. I have my own plans to hurt him!"
"He's crazy!"
"Have you confirmed who he is?" ask the prime minister to Federick.
"Already, sir. He's no ordinary vampire. He could tell the smell of the girl's blood was different."
"So that runaway royal princess?"
"Really, sir. I'm sure of it." Federick asserted.
"Listen Sanders, I can't tolerate your actions this time, especially the vampire you're helping is-"
"The eldest daughter of the vampire king, Malvia." cut Ethan off. Everyone is surprised.
"You... Know it?"
"Of course I know. I told you I have a plan. You think I have a plan but don't know who I'm dealing with? It was that plan that kept me from acting recklessly like him!" Ethan pointed to Federick.
"What do you mean?"
"Did you forget my future wife was killed by a vampire? You think I'll forget that and move on? Let them, those vampires, calm down?! Nah! I will have my revenge! But not with stupid and careless actions! The woman was wearing everything that belonged to my future wife. You think I'm generous? I can't stand him wearing all that! How disgusting!" Ethan closed his eyes, restraining the fiery anger.
"I know other vampires are hiding" Ethan continued. "They will find the princess because only the princess can protect them. If I can gain his trust, he will lead me to the vampires and we can destroy them forever. But everything is ruined!"
"Ethan's.. Be calm.. Calm. Now go back to your house. We'll take care of it" the prime minister said trying to calm down. "Hey, you! Take Mr. Sanders back to his residence."
"no need. I can do it myself." Ethan walks towards his house with disappointment on his face. He's not even saying goodbye.
"It seems to be true."
"That could have been a lie, sir. We can't just trust him!" persuade Federick.
"You're right, sir."
Everyone agrees with the prime minister. Only Federick still feels stuck.
...***...
The flash of the spell passed through Malvia's body. Although Malvia was a vampire, the witch could compensate for her running speed by teleportation. Although often inaccurate.
Bruk!!
Malvia was struck by a flash of a spell. His body fell to the ground. Malvia stood up and ran back. He changed his direction.
This time a growling sound was heard in his ears. The werewolves are after him. The speed of the werewolf balanced the speed of the Vampire's run. Now there are two wolves running on the right and left side of Malvia. The two wolves turned and attacked Malvia simultaneously. Malvia jumped up the tree, making the two wolves collide. Malvia ran on the tree branches for a moment and then came back down. The wolves are still chasing him.
Brakk!!
Suddenly Malvia fell. His body was circling on the ground. I think someone grabbed his leg. Malvia soon rose.
"Dwarves." he muttered.
"Strike him!"
Malvia turned around and prepared to run, but the wolves had stopped her. Damnit damnit!
Malvia is alert in both directions. In front of him was a werewolf while in the latter there were dwarves. The werewolves came forward and attacked. Malvia avoided them but there was a sharp object that also hit her leg.
"Aarghh!! Fucking dwarves!" peekkik Malvians. The bodies of dwarves are small but they are very agile. In his care, the werewolf slammed into him and clawed at Malvia's back. Malvia shouted loudly.
Malvia cornered. Two men attacked him and he was sure the witches would come soon. Malvia is still on the ground. He before him was already a growling werewolf and a dwarf ready with their swords.
"No! I can't die!"
Malvia turned her face into a creepy, fangs out. He quickly left and disappeared.
"Damn! Where's that jal*ng woman!" one of the dwarves.
The srek!
One dwarf split into two. Malvia darted again and pulled out the heart of one of the werewolves. All were shocked by Malvia's sudden action. Malvia is fast. His movements are invisible. One by one the dwarves and the werewolves fell. In an instant Malvia could subvert dozens of werewolves and dwarves. Their bodies were scattered on the ground. Some are not intact. Malvia breathes fast. He watched the surroundings, looking for any surviving signs. There's no movement. Malvia wiped her mouth. She's speechless. He felt the blood on his lips and hands taste delicious and sweet. Similar to ordinary human blood. Malvia licked her hand, maybe she was wrong. But it didn't. It tastes really good. Malvia thrust her hand into one of the werewolf's bodies for a moment then pulled her hand again and drank the blood she had in her hand. Sweet, very sweet. Malvia turns to the dwarf and sticks out her fangs. The taste of dwarf blood is also sweet. It's freaky. Is his tongue strange? Why all of a sudden did all of his blood taste delicious?
Amidst the confusion, Malvia darted away. He did not want any further attacks. Meanwhile the witches had just come and were shocked. All are slaughtered.
"Check! Maybe someone is alive!"
All the witches spread. They checked one after another and meticulously.
"Here!" shouted one man. Everyone ran to where the man was shouting. One werewolf who had turned into a human, dying with a shred wound on his body and a bite on his neck. The man breathed stifled with blood coming out of his mouth.
"Looks bad. I'll cure him." said one of the witches. The man shook his head.
"Don't... Kum-mo-hon..."
"But you will die if I don't heal" said the witch again.
"Tid-dak... Mass-sall-ah..."
"I will reduce your pain" said the witch. He took out his wand and cast a spell. The next second the man began to breathe normally. But he's still dying. Only the pain was gone.
"I must die... I don't want to be a vampire." asked the man. "He.. Real strong... No. gabe.. Like the... Another vampire. Her.. Also.. Drink.. Our blood..."
"Wait, what? Whatchu mean?"
"Vampire... Drink... Human blood... Wolves and... And dwarves..."
"That's.. That's not possible! Vampires only drink human blood!"
" i... Saw it.. With the... Evidently... Her... She's..."
The man did not move anymore. She die. All the witches stared at each other.
"That's impossible, right?"
