56 Thirst

No one could stop the vampires. They used to come when all people weren't ready. The fog in the forest helped them get some cover from the refugees' eyes.

Five to seven people were missing every day. People got desperate. However, one day Noah came up with an idea. He asked the refugees to make ropes from vines. He asked to make many of them. 

His idea was simple. By tying 5 or 6 people with a long rope, everybody could help each other when vampires tried to kidnap them. The next day all people were linked with 4 or 5 people every time. 

The next night, the unaware vampires tried to kidnap the people like before, but a surprise was waiting for them. As one of them tried to grab a sleeping girl and take her away, the girl was unexpectedly heavy. The vampire then realized that a rope tied the girl to another woman besides her.
