Everyone sleeping inside their carriages woke up with the screams coming from outside, and the merchant, the owner of all the carriages, was the first to come out.
"What happened? Why are you screaming in the middle of the night?"
"A- A vampire! I saw my friend's body behind a bush with fang marks on his neck, and he had been drained of blood!"
"What? Tell me what happened."
The man explained about his friend, who went to pee, and did not return, so he went out looking for him, and that is when he found him dead behind a bush in the middle of the forest.
No one liked the idea of traveling with someone dangerous, and the moment they heard a vampire could be among them, everything was ready to look for it and kill it!
If it was just a case of a vampire feeding on one of them, they could still talk and enter an agreement, seeing how vampires were typical in the demon continent and lived in peace with everyone else.
