Chapter 27: To Rika Safezone

Chapter 27: To Rika Safezone

Eri leapt down from the branch and into the den of corpses all over. From what he saw he could tell some had daggers deeply imbedded in their throats, a swift death they could have never expected.

From afar he could see Colby and the others inspecting the bodies. Looking for those that were alive and soon he joined.

As a Vampire, he did not have to search too much to know if they were alive as he could discern red as alive and blue as dead.

Many were dead and professionally killed by whoever that person was.

"I found one survival!" Elsa pulled one of the soldiers up to his feet, he was bleeding from his shoulder possibly missed by the dagger that was supposed to impale his throat.

How lucky.

"Ahhhhh!" He cried out in pain as Elsa heartlessly dislodged the dagger from his shoulder and tended to his wounds.

Soon enough Colby joined her and the rest continued their search.

A little while later Gambit found another survival having been impaled also in the shoulder and soon tended to him.

'Why am I even wasting my time,' Eri narrowed his hearing capabilities and could hear every slight noise made in the forest, every step, the crows and squirrels in the trees, even the sound of a dimming heartbeat in the distance.

Not wasting time he rushed to the source of it. Tearing through a small bush and soon meeting a trail of blood that led to a body.

'The blood smells so good and it's hard to resist!' Eri held his nose with his left hand as his teeth elongated and his body trembled at it.

'Damn! If I had known this would be my punishment as a vampire maybe I would have refrained from picking it!' Eri thought so sorrowfully.

He tried his best to get closer to the corpse without minding his urge for blood, he peeked at the face and saw it was Barnabas, with a throat impaled by a dagger.

From a closer view and a much better listen at his heartbeat he could tell his life was gradually depleting.

[Eat him! He has a lot of blood Eri]

"Shit I'm growing mad already," Eri quickly turned around and waved at the crew, "i f-found Barnabas, he needs help!" He found it a bit hard to pronounce words with his mouth filled with fangs ready to suckle blood.

Soon they all rushed to help with the two survivals following behind.

They all gathered round Barnabas and Elsa ran some tests on him, and in no time she made him gain conciousness again.

"I-i'm sorry," Elsa burst into tears saddened to see Barnabas who they assumed as a villain dying so poorly.

Colby held himself and fell into tears too. Gambit feeling pity welcomed Colby into his embrace, "the greatest honour of a leader is to see his men stand strong," Gambit quoted his inspirational words to Colby.

The rest simply stared at Barnabas. Eri found Carl's gaze on him. They had the same thought now.

"Shit, what happened Barnabas?" One of his men spoke so ruefully holding himself in pain and awe.

Barnabas clearly could not utter a word so he simply streched out his hand and lowered it. A wordless reply no one understood.

'He's dead, his heart beat is gone?' Eri turned around with a saddened look.

Instead of going smoothly he was getting involved in things he hated.

[Bing]

[Barnabas has sent a private message to all your inbox]

Everyone seemed to see this message, and tapped it without speaking a word.

[Go to the Rika Safezone with the golden gem in my pocket and ask from Richard Quill about the Uneven Order]

"What?" Eri's eyes glowed in awe, 'That guy said something about Uneven Order, is that some kind of organization? What does this have to do with us and the safe zone?'

[Inbox: Unknown Sender]

Eri used the side of his eyes to see if anyone also recieved this other inbox but no one seemed to do.

He tapped it without giving himself away too much.

[If you want to know what you are, and why you were chosen come to Rika safezone, if you refuse everyone that survived the first Scenario will die #Regressor]

'Regressor, who the hell is that supposed to be.'
