In the middle of the party, someone stopped Gerald from dancing. The man Gerald had sent to look after Lisa's father came to tell him something shocking.
The young man brought his lips to Gerald's ear because he didn't want anyone to hear it.
Lisa saw them from afar. She was enjoying dancing with the vampire prince, but the situation stopped it.
"Lisa's dad is missing," the errand boy whispered to Gerald.
"WHAT?" Gerald shouted spontaneously.
Something he was hiding from the vampire kingdom was now beyond Gerald's control.
"What happened?" asked Gerald.
He explained, "Lisa's father went berserk, and his strength made him untie his chains. We were overwhelmed until he was finally released unattended."
"Where is he now?" asked Gerald.
"He's headed for town, sir," someone said.
Gerald's face suddenly turned solemn. Big trouble is coming soon. He was never as serious as this before.
