#Chapter 3:-
The armory... .
The armory was a narrow, astringent room with high stone walls, a stone ceiling, and a very high small window surrounded by iron bars. A troll with weapons that occupies most of the space of the room, some of which are hung on the wall, some of them are placed on shelves, some of them are placed on a large marble table, and some of them are placed on the floor and propped against the wall.
Jessica was polishing the ax when Sebastian entered the room with a wide, teasing smile and a look of gloating on his face.
He was tall, with broad shoulders, cold eyes, and prominent cheekbones, and he looked a bit like Jessica, with the same dark brown hair, dark blue eyes, and pale skin.
He was an arrogant psycho hated by everyone around him.
Despicableness and conceit were evident on his face, one did not need to know him to realize that this person was mentally abnormal.
"And my dear sister, failed again", he said In a sarcastic tone saturated with gloating and hatred.
" F*ck off Sebastian"(Jessica)
" Why all this hostility, all I want is to check on my older sister, I heard that you hurt your head hard ", Sebastian said, as As he
reached out his hand to put it on her head, Jessica grabbed it tightly and she gritted her teeth, "Don't touch me."
Sebastian tried to free his hand from her tight fist but Jessica was holding it tight, Jessica
let go of Sebastian's hand suddenly, causing him to stumble back a few steps.
"Whatever," Sebastian said As he was adjusting his clothes.
And left, and on his way to the door, his eyes met with eyes
he knew well Like the ocean water, the eyes of that Brunette girl.
as if time had stopped at that moment. the girl turned her face and he continued on his way, ignoring each other.
"Jessica Gabriel wants us all at the library room he says he reached something important "(Katherine)
*************
The library room... .
Gabriel and Liam were waiting for the girls to come; So that everyone is present.
The library room was huge, two stories high.
The ceiling was literally a canvas and a giant spiral chandelier hung from it.
And in the center of the upper hollow floor there is a wooden balustrade decorated in the form of a ring, at the end of which the door receives a spiral staircase of marble leading to the bottom, and in the middle of the basement floor there is a long rectangular table made of beech wood, covered with books and manuscripts, opposite it a fireplace and a group of busts.
Gabriel was bent over the table reading a book, while Liam was watching anxiously him. Gabriel was in tatters, his hair was untidy, he hadn't taken a shower in a while, and he stank.
He had spent the last two weeks studying attempted to translate ancient languages; if he hadn't succeeded found anything, he would have been dangerously close to going insane.
As for Liam, he could not wait for the girls to arrive to get rid of the smell of Gabrielle that invaded the room.
The girls finally came, and Liam said to himself: Thank goodness.
"what's going on Gabriel?" ,(Jessica).
"I have been working on translating these manuscripts and have made a very important discovery mightchange every thing"(Gabriel)
The eyes widened around Gabriel, and curiosity began to excites them them.
"and what exactly did you discover?", (Jessica).
"I'll show you now". (Gabriel)
He picked up one of the historical manuscripts and began to read it:
One dark night full of blood, our God finally answered our offering and our prayers He sent down His wisdom to us in the form of a book, so that we may begin a new dawn in which we are the masters.
"This manuscript was among the documents found in the library of an Italian medieval poet."
Gabriel said then he picked up another and started reading it :
Sing and dance, my brothers, for our dear Hader will answer. He will guide us to the book of knowledge and power, and we will rule the upper world and make them slaves under our feet, but not before the construction of his temple which we will take is complete. our headquarters
He added that:"This was found in an ancient Greek temple". and he took another, saying : This one was found in an abandoned orphanage in London, which was closed after a massacre took place in it in 1890.”
"On the night of the bloody moon,Bells will ring, and all will swoon.
Virgins will slay, with hearts so pure,Their hymns of sacrifice will endure.
The world will tremble at this sight,And darkness will give way to light.
"What are those ?"(Katherine)
"Maybe prayers, hymns or religious texts. There are not enough documents to give a detailed account of what exactly they are.
there are still many that go back to different times and places, and they all have the same content Temple ,Worship, Offering Rewarding,Book" (Gabriel)
"So you think there is a connection between them?",(Jessica).
" No i don't think so I'm sure of that",(Gabriel).
"And what makes you so sure?" (Catherine).
"When we were kids, my mother used to tell me and my siblings a story about a powerful demon capable of giving you everything you wish for and opening doors to knowledge you never imagined before.in exchange for worshiping him It disappears and reappears after centuries with a different name, and the type of offerings it asks for also changes.
It is said to that most of his followers are pioneers of knowledge and influence."(Gabriel)
"Wait a minute, does what you're saying now means that the genius we rely on in deciphering history and ancient languages is basing his conclusions on his mother's bedtime stories, wow, what a masterpiece! " (Liam)
"Liam, this isn't just a story, it's a legend"(Gabriel)
" I believe that the book we lost was not the doom book , but part of a series." (Gabriel)
Gabriel looked at the stray Jessica and said: What are you thinking about Jessica?
"Why is the Alpha of the mountain Herd after the book in the first place? What is he planning, and does he know about the chain?" Jessica answered. "I don't know, but I don't think anyone knows about the chain yet; it's just my conclusion. There is no book, manuscript, or any kind of historical evidence that says it's a chain, explicitly or even indirectly."

"where is it? "He shouted at her, making Monica shiver .
"I said where is it? Speak" he shouted, pulling her hair wildly.
"Dad please leave me alone I don't have any money ," She said, and her eyes watering .
"A dam*ed liar just like your mother," he said as he pushed her against the wall and hit her head.
He grabbed the bag and unloaded it on the ground, and when he made sure that there was no money in it, he threw it and left .
She sat on the floor crying dramatically, her face stained with blood and a mixture of tears and eyeliner flowing from her pistachio eyes.She looked at the mess left by her father, as if a hurricane had hit the room. This's how it is every night , he gets drunk and comes to ask her for money, and if she can't give him what he wants, he hits her and destroys the house .
"Enough is enough, I can't take any more," shesaid, wiping her tears.She got up and picked up some of the clothes some clothes from the floor randomly and stuffed them into the backpack .
she put the bag on her back and left the
house after she left a note on the table telling her father that she is leaving and will never come back .

"Unfortunately, you don't they are actually vampires"(Jessica)The girl looked at the dagger on Jessica's waist and said innocently :what are you going to do with me ."Don't worry we are the good guys "Gabriel said in a tone of reassurance to the girl "The question that intrigues me is what brought them here, no vampires have been seen in this area for years"Jessica said while she staring at the girl with suspicion."I don't know. They were saying weird things about special blood and nonsense like that. At first I thought they were drunk, but it turned out they were... "(the girl)"special blood, does that mean she's.. "(Catherine )"Verforts ?"
