The Lost Prince's

Chapter 9 Old Friends (part 1)

Shane grabbed his backpack, inserted a medium-sized rifle, a large knife and a bullet.

Not to forget he slipped a small gun into the side pocket of his 8-pocketed pants.

"There is a mission?", asked who from the morning blind sat on the side porch.

Shane shakes. "You continue the tracking. Zero alone works hard by searching on the city's CCTV

Republic of Ireland. I have to help too"

"I'm coming" I said, standing from the chair where I was sitting reading a book to spend

nightly. "I don't want to be quiet either"

"I don't think that's a good idea. Ireland has a lot of mystery areas, there are protected forest areas in

sana. A lot of vampires live in that town"

"Come, Shane. I'm not gonna mess up"

"You better wait at home. Didn't I promise to help you"

I slightly washed my lips. "I don't like just waiting. I want to try too. So then

let me come, hm?"

Shane looked at me for a while and then took a deep breath. He nodded slowly. I won, my heart. Hastened

I went up to the 2nd floor, to my room, changed clothes. I chose the sleeves

similar length sweater with the neck closed, combine it with pants

long jeans and black leather jacket. After tying hair and applying

face moisturizer, I grabbed the boots model shoes and a bag filled with knives

small-time. I don't think there's any harm in bringing your own weapons just in case. I

had time to sharpen the ears for a while, checking the occupants of the next room. That sounds

Zero is busy. Good, so it's just Shane and me.

I ran outside, approaching Shane who was waiting in the black van. And we immediately drove to the city of Ireland, to the suburbs near protected forest areas. We need 2 hours

drive to arrive. The line of towering pine trees welcomed

as soon as we enter our destination area. I lowered the window next to me, though,

let the fresh air into the car. Ah, this scent really

it made me remember the peaceful times as an ordinary human being. Shane parked

the car, then we walked to a bar. But then Shane stopped, and he told me to

just wait in the car. I agreed and went back to the car. Seems

Shane could sense the existence of vampires inside the bar. Even his reaction was more

fast me. Shane and Shine have been vampire hunters ever since

still on the bench of SMP.

A few moments later Shane returned. According to information that

obtained there are indeed some vampires who often do troublemaking in the area

these. But Shane is not certain if there is a vanBlood group.

“Then how can we track it? Here there is no watchdog camera”

“We can try asking some people. Then return with

sniffer dogs to find vampire hideouts. The vampire group

troublemaking usually has a lot of blood storage or worse.”

I gulped, guessing the continuation of Shane's words.

“Manusia”

As expected. So, vampires are like vanBlood.

“I think I should go back and let the headquarters take care of this. This

it would take time if there were more than 2 groups of vampires. And we need

bloodhound”

“I can do it”

Shane raised his eyebrows, not understanding what I meant.

“I mean, tracking odor. So no need to go back to take dog”

“Ah...true” Shane massaged the back of his neck awkwardly. I suppose

sometimes Shane forgets that I'm not like him.

So we walked into the forest, trying to find the slightest clue

whatever. My nose is working optimally. I can smell and

distinguish odors spaced at least 3-4 km. Actually all the sensory enhancement

this sort of thing really disgusts me and horrifies me. As if to confirm that I

I really can't go back to being who I was. I quit

stepping when hearing the familiar sound of laughter. That's Sheryll's voice! Him

walking with a man towards us. I'm looking in disbelief

with what I see, why is Sheryll in a place like this. Shane looks

confused to see my behavior, but I don't have time to think about it. Moments

could be resuscitated, Sheryll and the man are too close, will be

it's suspicious that I'm running now. Without thinking I turned around and

hugging Shane, hiding my face in his chest that fielded. I can't

seen by him.

I immediately took off my arms after making sure Sheryll was no longer

within her visibility. Guilt attacked me. I still hear the ticking

shane's heart is racing as fast as possible. Shane wasn't

it flinched a little, as if the whole

his body became stiff. My fault. Anyone must be scared when vampires

hugged him.

 “I'm really sorry, Shane. I don't mean anything. That was my old friend. She can't

saw me. So. sorry I was sloppy”

Shane's heart rate was still beating fast, but he shook his head. “No

anything at all. I'm just surprised”

We went back along the small path, despite the atmosphere

being awkward. It took a few minutes for Shane's heart to beat

normal rhythm. But then, a scream stopped my leg. It's a sound

Sheryll again! I ran towards the direction of the sound.

“What's the matter?”, asked Shane who ran after me. He might not hear it.

“Sheryll just yelled for help”

We sped up, ran to the source of the sound, then stopped when it reached the lips of the forest, hiding away

behind a big tree. The man who was with Sheryll got into a black jeep,

close the door and drive away. Sheryll's in it, another man

forcing follow. I was ready to run after the jeep, but Shane

stopped me.

“Wait. They will take us to his headquarters”, Shane said.

I looked at Shane deeply, trying to guess

his mind. Could he think we're going to meet a vampire? “And what if it's not a vampire nest?”

“Of course we keep saving him. He's your friend, right?” Shane

walk to where he parked his car. “Quick!”

I followed him running to the car. Shane immediately stepped on the gas and

chasing a jeep.

“Don't hunters have trouble interfering if it wasn't about

vampire?”, I don't know Shane's plan to go after the jeep

they are kept secret and have no authority other than to deal with matters

vampirism. I don't know on what basis Shane figured we'd find a vampire lair.

All I know is that the two men who kidnapped Sheryll are human.

“Crue. That's why I called Zero instead of the troops”, Shane said.

I threw out a face, snorted bitterly. He called Zero! I can't believe that's the plan.

Shane laughed softly noticing the change in my face. “Di

this is when he is very useful. I know you hate him, but Zero

is the best choice at the moment”

I guess I didn't have a choice. But still

it's so annoying to have to rely on the help of that expressionless vampire.

And again, once Zero finds out I'm following Shane for sure he'll start nagging

as always. It's dangerous, it's dangerous. What he wanted to say, which

dangerous is me. I can remember every word he said to me.

Vampires are as bad as vanblood. He always told me to drink blood

and accept reality. Then talk about how stubborn exhumans are

will turn into a madvampire when it reaches its limit. The body of the exhuhman who refused

drinking blood will eventually lose control, then he becomes a figure

without consciousness that only seeks human blood.

I can't be that monster. I'll show him! I also do not want to live as a blood sucker for other creatures.

Shane stopped his car shortly after we passed a mansion

european Style. The courtyard was really spacious, there was even a horse stable in the section

backside. The place was surrounded by a fence from a 3-meter-high wall. Shane and

I had to climb a tree that grew beside the outer side of the wall to see

go inside. The Jeep that brought Sheryll stopped in front, then the man that kept

clutching his arm dragged him to the back of the mansion. I jumped

get down and move slowly behind the rows of plants, looking for a good spot

to monitor the situation. Sheryll was led into a room underground,

and even worse, I smelled blood from the room. Shane's right, this

it's a vampire's lair.

“Key..you surprised me”, Shane said slowly as soon as he caught up with me.

“Don't rush and move on your own without a plan. If this place is right

our vampire hideout might not be able to handle it alone”

I returned snorting. Is correct. We have to wait for a named favor

Zero's coming. Sucks. But I have to admit we need it, because I

there are at least 4 vampires in there. And I have no fighting experience

at all. Like not liking I have to wait for Zero instead of being reckless and dangerous

Shane's. I still need it to track vanBlood.

Fortunately, about 10 minutes later Zero arrived. I was quite surprised he got this fast.

Though Shane and I took 2 hours to get to the protected forest area earlier.

We then split up, Zero will attack from the front gate, diverting

the guards then turned off the security alarm. Me and Shane will

infiltrate the rear and free the captives. Zero's wearing a mask cover

face and immediately start the action. He jumped over the front gate of the mansion so

the guards standing at the front and side of the building rushed off

welcomed it. I glanced at the people guarding the mansion

aiming the long-barreled rifle towards Zero. There are six guards heading to

he was armed with hot lead, and then two vampires caught up with them

while holding the sword. Zero might have trouble surviving without a wound,

my thinking.

"Zero can handle them. No problem" Shane said. "See"

Zero dodged all the bullets that were after him, occasionally brushing off the bullets with his sword. The guards' attacks didn't hit him at all. Zero continued walking closer to the mansion without

the problem. In fact, it was those guards who stopped stepping forward to fight him.

Two of them ran off the fence, the other four tried

against however Zero can hit the back of their head quickly.

The guards fell unconscious, but now 2 vampires are running

attacking simultaneously. In an instant, bad thoughts that Zero might get hurt

seriously yawning from my head. He can face the attack of 2 sword vampires

without overwhelmed. His movements look rhythmic and nimble. Then in a matter of

in a second, Zero's sword slashed at the necks of the two vampires one by one. Aromas

the blood pouring into the air suddenly made the other two vampires move.  I closed my nose to smell the foul scent coming out of their blood. Shane attacked ahead of me, firing his gun

on those two vampires that just came out. One of them fell down

after receiving 2 Shane bullets. The other one was quite nimble to avoid

gunfire. My eyes grew to see the vampire. He's one of the students

Humphire, Sanchez, as far as I know he's human. When did he become a vampire?

Shane grabbed his big knife to fend off the vampire sword slash. I put on a face mask and immediately ran while throwing 2 blades of daggers, aiming for his feet. Mishit! He managed to evade

by jumping back. I again grabbed the 2 daggers and threw towards

her neck. This time he put it to the sword. Sanchez looked at me, looking

quite surprised.

"Wait first. You're an exhuman too, right? Why are you working with Hunter?", he asked. Apparently he recognized me. "They're vampire killers. It means you're gonna die too"

"It's good that it is" I said cynically. "You alone, last month weren't you a human being"

"Ah.do not be reminded so. I hateit. You must be the same as me. The weak and helpless human body was so nauseating. I worked so hard that Mr. Orlando confessed to me

and give me this perfection"

Disgust. Sanchez said it in earnest. He intentionally made himself changed? I can't believe it.

"You, join me. The hunter is just using you" he said, holding out a hand. "Or maybe you can't leave your master. Ah. I don't

really remembering. That's a grim vampire tamed hunter.."

A shaasshh!!! Fresh blood spurted out without warning. Zero slashed Sanchez's neck from behind. I don't know when he was there, I didn't realize it either.

"Whispering", he muttered flatly. "This should be over quickly, Shane"

"You're right. But he was talking"

"There's no point in hearing rubbish talk"

I turned towards the vampire Shane shot, he was already lifeless. Zero said the alarm was turned off. We immediately headed to the basement at the back of the mansion. There are 3

man guards with a gun. I immediately threw my daggers,

nailing their feet to the floor. The three fell down while roaring. I

back to my nose. The smell of their blood was still foul, but this time

the humans. My throat is giving off a different reaction.

In the room we entered, there were 5 cells like a prison. Resided each

5 Girls, man. Zero pulled out a small box similar to a cell phone

in the past, push a few buttons. After the 'beep' sound the five cells are

the lock opens. Shane immediately helped the girls out.

"Calm down, we're here to save you" Shane said. "Let's get out quickly"

Seryll just stood there unmoved, looking at me. "Key..."
