Preparation of the ground

Back in front of the main building, Dante had gathered the Elder vampires, the vampire staff and the few vampire students who were still there while she stood in front of them with her arms crossed against her chest. She said loudly, 

"We have received information that there might be an attack on Veteris. I need you all to be on guard."

"Where did the information come from?" asked one of the students. 

"Two vampires were found dead near the boundary walls. Ashed to the ground," replied the headmistress. "It would only be wise that we take measures of precaution. Further information will be relayed if there's any change. There's word that we will be attacked tonight. Disperse!" 

After hearing what the vampiress had to say, there were murmurs in the little crowd. One of the staff asked Ms. Dante, "Milady. If the information is about being attacked, shouldn't we gather weapons and prepare ourselves in a strategic manner?"
