Chapter 348

Six days later, Blanca and Selvo set up camp near the foot of the Vetsom's Hill trail. Walking for days on end to reach the possible route where the vampire's patrol would not notice them was a major undertaking. Following their successful journey through the tunnel, the two returned home and gathered their supplies for the next leg of their journey. At the end of Elfar's book, Blanca was able to decipher a hidden message that her best friend had left for her in the middle of the book, which revealed that the map could be found at Vetsom's Hill.

So here they were, six days later, camped in the frigid storm, not even halfway to the summit of the mountain. Vetsom's Hill was a highland on the North Bowns, and at eight hundred twenty-three feet, it was the highest point in the county of Kent and the highest point in the area. Located between Lesterham and Batsfield on the outskirts of the county's western edge.
