An attack on the tenth castle

The two of them stood there for a while investigating the scene around them. It would take a lot to kill any vampire, even a single one, but these were ones that had already been introduced into the inner castle. They showed promise and were stronger than an average vampire.

From looking around, the two of them had even gathered they had collected four out of five of the full set of equipment.

"It looks like they have been killed by a strange beast." Edward said, investigating the wounds. There were large slashes around their necks and parts of their bodies as if they were done by claws.

"It wasn't a beast. I can tell by the aura that was left behind." Leo replied. "This was the work of another vampire."

Edward also thought this, but he was too afraid to say it aloud for fear it would make it true. If it was a beast, it would have had to have gotten past all the vampires in the city, the guards and barriers. The only explanation was it was a vampire.
