Family that didn't exist- Part 1

Penelope continued to walk, her eyes looking ahead of the trees as the density started to decrease. Finally, when she started to hear something in front of her, she felt her heart stutter at the sound of the flowing river. 

Happy to have finally found about it, she caught sight of a rocky cave-like house which brightened her mood. She did come here and this was the missing part of her memory. Turning around she went to speak to Damien to notice three people coming from behind. 

Damien noticing her widened eyes turned around. Raising his hand to shoot the person one after another right at the center of the head to have them fall down in less than fifteen seconds. The sound of the gunshots echoed through the quiet forest. 

"Corrupted vampires," he said for her to nod numbly. 

"Where did they come from?" she asked, looking behind him to make sure there was no one.
