Chronicles of Roika:
Reign of the Unwanted
Anthony's Journal
Night 2
It was quiet. Dead quiet. It was then when we heard footsteps. My heart pounded like it was about to jump out of my chest. The feeling was really intense. No one dared to peek out the closed windows or go out of the heavily locked doors. We could hear them. One of them went near the house I was staying in but didn’t come any closer. It was probably the dragon’s blood. How we wished it was morning already. Every minute felt like an eternity. We couldn’t sleep. It was like they know we could hear them.
Flying would be futile. Boards and brooms are useless. They’d jump on you before you could get on to your board/broom. One of the leaders also told us something about flying. It’s “Don’t use your boards and brooms if you want to live!” One of the survivors mentioned that he saw a vampire with wings. He’s the only one who got to see it though. He only had a glimpse of it for he said it was really fast. He saw it when a vampire charged unto him and knocked him down to the ground. He was on his back when he saw it passed by so quickly while he was on the ground. We didn’t really care if it was true or not. Because true or not, we’d still rather be safe in our houses. And we still don’t know what they are capable of. They might have some gravity disorder spell or something. But don’t get me wrong, I hate every moment of our hiding. We want to fight, to get rid of them... But, we also want to live.
---------------------------------------------
Finally, it was morning. We take a peek outside before heading out of the house. Assuming it was safe already, we went out. Others were already outside. I thought no one got killed. But then again, I was wrong. It turned out that there were five rangers who volunteered to observe the vampires last night. They were flying. They were told not to get off of their boards and just fly. They were asked to roam around Flaris and observe the vampires there. It was to know how the vampires would react on the dragon’s blood and to know where the vampires would hide. But they were found dead this morning. All five of them. They still have their necklaces on but the bottles were broken. Even their extra bottles too were found to be broken. It was a good thing we all stayed inside our houses. It seemed like the vampires knew we were going to use the dragon’s blood against them. After breaking the bottles, it was probably then when they attacked the rangers. A black feather was found on of the corpses. It seemed like the winged vampire was true after all. The unfamiliar feather confirmed its existence.
Several parties went out to find the hiding place(s) of the vampires. Yeah, rather than being even more afraid, they got really angry instead. The same people then started going to Volkane to get dragon’s blood again. We needed to wash off the blood painted on our houses and repaint it again with fresh dragon’s blood. The blood’s effect on the vampires might wear off if not replaced.
When the people who went to Volkane came back, everyone helped in repainting the houses with dragon’s blood. We finished repainting all the houses in just a short time. Another gathering by class was then held. We were at our usual area, by the hall. We were told that fighting the vampires with our necklaces on was no good. Even covering our whole body with dragon’s blood was said to be a stupid idea. They would just probably throw deadly things at us
After hours of searching, those who went out to find the hiding place(s) of the vampires returned. They failed.
