Blood and shadows

Chapter 14.

"Blood and shadows".

***************

"Who is him"?, Vlad asked.

Oh that is one of my new bodyguard,Dex.

Something seems strange about him,like we have met before.

I Doubt supreme one, according to him,he came from the neighbouring village..

I see,I shall pay him a visit to confirm something.

As you wish supreme one, let me see you off.

Dex's room.

***********

Dex was seen struggling and sweating, while trying to fight what was trying to over power him.

His roommate,while shaking his body was shouting Dex snap out of this.

Dex opened his eyes,"it was a dream,and went back to sleep.

The next day,Vlad again payed the president a visit,this time around to discuss about an upcoming party,he is hosting for his campaign rally.

There he bumped into Dex ,who immediately apologize.

"Look at me ,"You again?" Vlad said, n "Who are you ?" Vlad smiled, his eyes glittering with a cold light. I've been watching you, and I have to say, I'm impressed. You're not just any ordinary human, are you?" Dex narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean sir?" Dex said trembling.

President Alex appeared, supreme one welcome,we have been waiting,this way sir , president Alex said leading the way.

Vlad gave Dex a final glance before walking away.

.

As soon as the president entered with Vlad,all the members stood up and bow in greeting.

Have your seats.

The president, doctors, and business tycoons sat around a long table, while Vlad stood at the head of the table. "Gentlemen, and ladies," he said, his voice low and commanding. "I'd like to propose a plan. I think we can use a party as a way to spread our influence and inject more people with our special serum."

What a wonderful idea supreme one, that way we will increase our allies.

Now the doctors will take care of injecting them with the serum.

"In broad daylight?", supreme one that could be risky and might blow our cover and alert the people,one of the doctors said.

"But the rewards will be worth the risk. We can achieve our goals, and no one will be any the wiser. They'll just think they're having a good time." "And if someone figures it out?" one of the doctors asked. "They won't," Vlad said, his eyes glinting dangerously. "I can ensure that. So?

Are you in or out?

As the silence stretched on, the president cleared his throat. "I think we have no choice," he said, his voice wavering. "We'll do it." The other doctors and business tycoons nodded their agreement, though their faces betrayed their fear and doubt. "Excellent," Vlad said, a smug smile spreading across his face. "Let's get to work." And with that, the meeting came to an end.

Each member left with different assignments to handle.

In other not to alert his bodyguards, president Alex gave them one week break to enable him carry out his devilish assignment.

Dex decided to travel back home to consult the council about her foundings.

*********

As Athena arrived at the refugee camp, she noticed the atmosphere was different. People were milling about, their faces grim. He asked one of the villagers what had happened. The villager looked at her, his eyes wide with fear. "A figure in a dark cloak attacked the camp last night," he said. "They were able to fight them off, but it was a close call." Athena's heart sank. She knew that this was no ordinary threat.

As Dex continued to question the villagers, he heard a cry coming from the direction of the council's tent. He ran over, and found the council members gathered around a small table, their faces pale. "What's going on?" Dex asked. The council members turned to him, their eyes filled with worry.

"We have been waiting for you chosen one,our camp was attacked last night by a figure in dark cloak.

"Something must be done as we are no longer safe.

"I came with news ,I have seen Vlad the rebellious vampire clan leader,the evil one that will try to rise and destroy the world if nothing is done.

But evil will never prevail again.

Summon a meeting of all the elders in council as I have little time to spend here .

The elders motioned for her to follow them to the council chamber, where they all sat down around a large table. "We have something to discuss," the head elder said, his voice grave. "It seems that our safety is at risk." Athena took a deep breath. "I know what's happening," she said. "And I have a plan to stop it." The elders looked at each other, doubt and fear etched on their faces.

"You must understand, we've been through so much already," the head elder said. "We can't risk another attack. What do you have in mind?" Athena told them about her encounter with the rebellious vampire, and her suspicions that he was working with the president. "I think we need to find a way to protect ourselves," she said. "If we don't, we could all be in danger." There was a long silence, and then one of the elders spoke up. "You may be right," he said.

So I will advise you people relocate to another camp,while I make plans on how relocate everybody to a safer place in the province,since the battle will begin at the human realm.

Everyone welcomed the idea .

Athena made her way back to the province but this Time around with her one of her uncles Geal,to set the wheel of their plan if relocating racing.

Geal was surprised seeing Athena dressed as a guy,"what are you doing?"

My disguise,dear uncle,here I'm know as Dex.

Geal left for the refugee camp after staying with Athena for days,there in Athena's neighbourhood,he saw how friendly everyone was to each other and he believed that his niece indeed is in good hands.

After one week of break,Dex resumed work with other bodyguards.

They were immediately informed about the party that will take place and were instructed to tight security and and allow people invited only to enter the premises.
