I shall put you under a curse!

They sprinted. 

Each had a bag strapped on their backs. 

After being in here for a week and more, Luo Yi had familiarized herself with the layout of the maze-like underground sewers. 

They scurried up the dark tube and came out in the woods. The snow sank under their weights as they stepped on it. 

Around them, the harsh wind blew against the trees, but far away, slithering like wind through grass, they could hear footsteps. 

"Shit, there were more," Caleb cursed as he slammed the metal tunnel door close. 

And then, over the tops of the snow covered grass and weeds, Luo Yi saw them. 

Assassins. 

A lot of them. 

Covered in hoods and daggers in their hands. 

But there was another thing that made Luo Yi step back. 

Standing among the assassins. 

Were vampires. 

Their pale skin glowed under the moon. 

They glided noiselessly through the trees like snakes stalking their prey.
