No Escape

The day continued as the clock hand ticked amidst the activities from every town and village of Vamlone kingdom. The weather outside was unrelenting as snow froze everywhere, a constant chilly breeze blowing from time to time.

In the town of Cuckooland, the mansion of Vetis stood tall and strong among other houses in the town. Looking at the mansion from the outside told tales of a rich vampire heritage from the intricate architect of the building.

In one of the balconies of the mansion, John stood as he watched a bird fly towards him and perched on the rail of the balcony, its long claw making a clanking sound on it.

John held the bird and took out the piece of paper attached to the bird's limb which he opened and read. Turning swiftly on his heels, he walked inside, his shoe clicking sharply on the floor while the bird flew away from the balcony and perched on one of the trees in the garden.
