"MY FATHER...." Lisa shouted.
Her hand reached out towards the man who was about to be presented to the vampires. Lisa's voice seemed to be gone because of the crowd noise. The screams echoed upstairs but did not reach downstairs, where the vampires would suck their father's blood.
"Glory to the Vampire Kingdom", the vampires shouted.
The cheers of vampires were overjoying because the smell of human blood filled the room. Before the ritual, they only drank animal blood. That was why sucking human blood would feel like fine dining to them.
In Lisa's mind, she could not think why her father was one of the offerings. Didn't they say the offerings were those who committed criminal acts? What did his father do? Did they get it wrong?
Lisa blinked her eyes, hoping what she saw was a mistake. The man was simply similar to her father. She hopes so. However, the longer she looked at him, the surer she became that it was her father.
