Bab 171: Heroes or Villains

Alicar and I made our way deeper into the cave. It was quite humid, the air was moist, and overall, it was quite an uncomfortable feeling. After defeating the Marquess, the entire area became eerily silent. I was expecting more vampires to be present, but for some reason, there were none to be seen. 

We were already completely separated from the rest of the group, for all we knew, they could all be dead. The slight thumping from our footsteps was the only noise that echoed through the dark, tense cave. As we went further inside, I could feel some sort of pressure, emanating out of the depths. 

It made the hairs on my skin stand up. It was a feeling similar to the presence of the special zombies... although, there was a lot more dread. Ignoring the danger, we continued making our way in, for some reason, not a single vampire engaged us for several minutes.

"Where do you think they are?" I asked.
