Chapter 26

Downheartedness sailed through the air, infecting almost everyone. Abubakar though, wasn't hopeless. He picked Luna up, tried to shake off the low spirits.

"Focus newbie. Get back on your feet. If anyone can get us through this, it's you. You're the one that convinced a bunch of regular vampires you knew nothing about to join you in this mission. You're the one who got Roberto to show up when he was fucking with us, hiding in the darkness. Hell, you're just a newbie, and you have threw stunts even a decade old vamp haven't" Abubakar encouraged with a fretting tone.

"Fuck off. Just fuck off dude. We are damned Ab." Luna muttered under her breath.

Shola changes his facial expression. All of a sudden, he feels hopeful. Perhaps, there was a way out.

"No, Luna. Listen to Abubarkar. You might be the one that would save us all from this predicament. I feel some ideas almost popping up in your head. Let them in, allow your heart guide you" Shola inspired.

Shola's words did the magic. Well, he was a sorcerer so, he backed up his words with some spells that lifted spirits.

A new wave, fresh and clean, dashes across the air, fills Luna up, giving her a rush of hope.

Luna surges forward to the dance floor, where the vampires were sucking the humans - students and teachers of Hampton High, Luna's friends. It had only been less than a minute since they resumed the feast, so the humans were still alive and aware of what was going on because Johnny healed them.

"Hey vamps!" She roars at the top of her voice, calling for the attention of the 10 original vampires.

The original vampires discards the humans, focusing on Luna, who was standing at the podium like structure, ready to do something crazy.

"Yo vamps. Ruthless, emotion less piece of shit. Chill, really. I know you're like all powerful and all, and you could take me out in one second, so why the fuck is Roberto still the boss of you. I mean, it clearly means he's stronger and more powerful than original vamps right?"

"Hell no. Roberto ain't stronger than any one of us" one of the original vampires roars, having a coarse, horrible voice.

"No no, it clearly means that. Coz, he like throws feast for y'all. And well, gives y'all orders. Look, dudes. Listen. You could do this on your own, you know. Get rid of Roberto, and live freely, without orders you know. I don't know about you, but it's pretty awesome living without orders and rules. Rules are lame as fuck, aren't they? Ha ha. What do you say, original vamps." Luna stops, anticipating for them to consider her speech, and see that she is right.

(A babble of contemplation sweeps across the original vampires)

"The lad is right. We should end Roberto right now. He's done nothing but, use us. We could throw these feasts ourselves anyway. Fuck it, who needs an annual feast, when you could throw a daily one. Ha ha ha" An original vampire made a decision.

All the other 9 original vampires avowed to the decision of the first original vampire.

They all marched towards unconscious Roberto.

"Get his ass up. We can't end him while he's asleep. He would feel no pain" An original vamp said.

One of them spanked his ass until he coughs out blood, signaling he was awake.

"What the fuck is going on. My vamps. Why, what. I don't get it" Roberto muttered confusingly.

"We end you Roberto right now. For centuries you been using us, ordering our asses when we should be the boss of you. We can throw these feasts ourselves, you scumbag. We turned you to the vampire that you are, recall that? You don't get to be the boss Roberto. We end you!" An original yelled.

"You can't kill me. I'm immortal!" Roberto bragged.

"Ha ha ha. You're just a frigging hybrid. Vampire and sorcerer. Nothing special about that. You're no match for an original vampire. Arggggghhhh"

"No, wait. Please. Vamps. It's me. Roberto. I've been feeding you for decades now, and you turn on me all because of some lame speech the newbie gave. Please vamps. Don't do this"

The original vampires rushed to Roberto, infecting him with their bite. The 10 of them literally left their bites on every part of his body. The bite of an original vampire on a hybrid like ROberto was more fatal than on any other person.

The bites stuck on Roberto's body, itching him, burning his skin at the same time. They disfigured his cells, making him paralyzed. Then, an original vampire took the metal that had fallen off, and staked him to the heart. His body transforms fron human Roberto to a horrible looking human like figure, with a disfigured face. After than, he gives a loud roar, expressing the burning sensation all over his body. He turns to ashes after a short while.

(Oh shit. The metal does kill him. It just needed an incentive. Like the bite of an original vampire) Luna figured out.

Roberto was now a pile of ashes scattered across the floor, which made everyone jump for joy.

Johnny walks leisurely to Luna, smiling.

"You did it, newbie. You saved us" He said.

"I dunno. I..." Luna paused, as she saw the original vampires turn towards them to attack.

"Now Roberto is gone, the feast continues. Ha ha. This time, we have more people to feed on" An original announced.

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

"No, like what the fuck is going on?" Luna protested.

"We don't care about a bunch of humans and vampires. Roberto was using us, so we ended him. We get back to the feast right now" The same original informed, rushing towards them.

The other original vampires followed after.

Shola knew all along that these originals weren't fucking with them. He was aware that they would attack, after they killed Roberto.

So, he was cooking up a very powerful spell of protection in his mind for a while now.

As soon as he sees them attack, he lets the spell out, allowing its full power to manifest.

A transparent silver-coated wall appears around Shola, Luna, Abubakar, Johnny, Tristin, Aidan, Shane, Ashley, Carlos, and the other humans, and regular vampires, leaving only the originals out of its protection. Due to its transparency, everyone could see the originals, and the originals could see them too. But they could not get past the silver coated wall of protection that Shola put up.

"Why aren't they walking right through it?" Luna asked Shola.

"Are you nuts? This is some really powerful spell I'm fucking with right now, and besides silver is the weakness of original vampires" Shola said slowly, while his hands were lifted, holding up the spell.

The original vampires were only vampires, they had no source of magic, so they withdrew.

Everyone danced ridiculously inside the wall of protection. Hell, they all grinned widely, hugging themselves, and feeling grateful they wouldn't die after all.

Shane moves forward to have a clearer view of the originals.

"In your face! Cocksuckers!" Shane mocked.

"Holy shit. Thank fuck!" he yelled.

"Fuck!!!!!!!!" Every student roared.

"No, really. Thank God we are alive" Shane said, being serious.

"Hey dude with the hands up. Do one of your thingies, and get us out of here, will you?" Shane requested.

Shola closes his eyes, focusing on both things. His body emitted heat, so much, that it could fill two drums. His nostrils brought out blood too. He wept bitterly in pain, tensing up his muscles, keeping up the spell of protection, while doing another spell to teleport them back to the tents. It was a lot, it took so much from him.

After a long while of grinding and toiling, an invisible force of power rushes into everyone under the protection, causing them to shout.

Everyone yelled, and disappeared in a flash of light, instantly teleporting back to the tents.

********

A huge bang landed on the ground, everyone found themselves on the ground back in the tents.
