Chapter 47: VAMPIRE CLAN

On the other side of the world, things were pretty messed up and scary. The vampires were slowly losing to the human as they were losing their natural habitat. Humans have invaded most of their private space as years passed by forcing a lot of their species to flee to safer places of their own choices.

"Are we getting a closure on this matter?" Mr. Kim asked his court members.

"We must declare another war. The history will repeat." The old man managed to walk up to the leader.

"We are still in debt for that. We paid a lot for that immature war." Mr.Kim groaned.

"We don't have any choice, so we need to make sure that our clan would survive."

"King, we have already lost a large number of vampires in the past five years. The number of wolves are twice the number of us so it is hard for us to hunt for food." A minister complained.

"What do you all expect me to do?"

"Shea!" All of them exclaimed together.

"It is something that is been taken care of. She will be here soon." Mr.Kim bowed at the members before walking out of the court place with guards.

He went to the garden while the guards left allowing the Queen to join him. He visits the underground cave which is at the corner of the garden during every month on last friday.

"Did Daniel report to the court?" Queen asked while holding Mr.Kim's hand.

"Not till now. He sighed while pushing the rock aside.

"I wonder if she is doing well. It has been more than five years since I saw her." She tried to control her sob as it will make her look weak.

"She is a royal vampire, my blood. She must do well and I trust Daniel. He will be watching over her." They closed the cave and walked down the dark path.

The corpses of their ancestors were preserved in the cave for worship and power. They believed that the monthly ritual was the only reason that they still survive. Shea ran out of the clan spoiling the ceremony before five years and since then things started to go wrong.

"I hope they forgive our daughter." The queen said bowing to the corpses.

"I will never forgive her if she goes back to him." The King hissed at the thought.

"Can he be really Yi Won Beom by any chance?"

"How can he be? He died two hundred years ago and this boy is not even related to him."

"He looked exactly like the prince." The queen hummed remembering the prince who ruled them two centuries ago.

"He is just a look alike and moreover two hundreds years have already passed by so its time for us to forget him." The King gave her a stern look making her shut in an instant.

They continued the ceremony as usual which included sacrifice of humans as well as animals. They followed the ritual of drinking human blood along with some herbs would increase their capability to hold their thirst as well as would improve their skills.

HUMAN VILLAGE

"They are planning to attack on us again but we must never give ourselves to them."

"How can we fight them? Our ancestors lost back then even when they had a large army behind them. Now time flew by and people have moved away not even knowing the existence of Vampires." A man reasoned.

"We can't ever involve all the human population for this as it doesn't involve them. It all started from our dynasty and should end with us too." The old man wisely spoke.

"He killed our Prince." a lady remarked.

"We must repay them for that. They turned us against our prince and made us kill him." another one spoke this time.

"How can we do it?"

"We should seek the help from their enemies. Their enemies are our friends and that's what our Prince taught us." anther one reminded.

"Who will go and initiate a talk with them?"

"We have to choose someone who is brave enough to do that."

The meeting went on and on as they realized their lives were at the edge of falling apart. The vampire clan has never gone easy on humans from the age they came across each other. The humans never went to involve with the vampires until, the daughter of Vampire King came to the village herself.

The war started because of her and it ended when the prince sacrificed himself for her. She never showed herself again as if she forgot about the Prince and his act of love making the people furious.

The descendants of the Prince were brought up to fight the vampires when in need and the stories regarding the troubles caused by them were all over the village like a folk tale. Even the children were injected with hatred and they fought all the vampires who trespassed into the village.

"We don't have enough sources. What if they attack us quicker than we imagine?"

"We need to come to an agreement with the wolves soon. Should send some one to the forest tonight." The old man spoke.

"It is full moon night." a lady spoke looking up at the evening sky.

"Yes, tonight is the perfect day. They would come to us for making things easier."

"I WILL GO." A man told startling the others.

The crowd moved away giving space for the man to walk to the front. The old man smiled as if he had expected the boy to agree to the idea. The boy, the source of their strength has always had their back through out the past five years. His family have guarded the human population since the time of Yi Won Beom and they secretly believed he was the re incarnation of the prince.

"I expected you."

"It is my duty to protect our people and I will make sure, we would never lose to them again. I will go to the wolves tonight." He spoke in his deep voice.
