2025-03-06 21:10:21Someone had just come by and left food a moment ago, so who was there now? While they wondered, Van Evangeline opened the door and walked in. Seeing her, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Evangeline, it’s you?” Paul exclaimed.
“Yes, it’s me.” Evangeline nodded. “What, are you annoyed that I came?” “Oh, no!” Paul quickly waved his hand. “Why would we be annoyed?” “No...I mean…” Evangeline hesitated. “You all looked a little strange, that’s all.” “You know we’re trapped here,” Jack said. “Who knows when some vampire might come to snap our necks and drink our blood? So, we’re constantly on edge.” “That’s true,” Evangeline replied, adding a note of sympathy to her voice. “But as long as I’m here, no one can harm you.” “We’ve been imprisoned here to be killed.”“I already told you—no one can harm you as long as I’m here.” Evangeline repeated firmly, then added in a pleading tone, “Will you all do me a favor?”
“Tell us. We’ll try,” they all said in unison. “I want to be your friend. Will you accept me as a friend?” They got surprised to hear this from Evangeline. Luna asked, “What are you saying? How could you be our friend? You’re a vampire, and we’re human.” “So what if I’m a vampire?” Evangeline said with a hint of reproach. “Does that mean I can’t be your friend?” “Do you realize we came here to destroy you all?” Jack said.“Yeah, I know.” Evangeline shook her head. “I know everything. And I also know that Uncle Collingwood is not a vampire. He is human.”
Hearing Evangeline’s words, they had once again been surprised. Everyone furrowed their brows. They looked at each other. “When you said that Collingwood is human,” Tulip said. “Then listen to this: his name is not Collingwood. His name is Dr. Jon Harper.” Now it was Evangeline’s turn to be surprised. Her brows furrowed as she said, “How do you know this? Do you know Uncle?” “Yeah, we know him very well. And he knows us very well too.” “How is that? Please explain.” “You’ll find out later. Before that, tell me, why do you want to be friends with us even after knowing all this?” “I want the vampire kingdom to be destroyed too.” Evangeline said in a nonchalant tone. But those words struck their ears. What had this girl been saying? She, the vampire princess, wanted to destroy their kingdom. What could have been more surprising than this? “Are you messing with us?” After recovering from the initial shock, Jack asked. “I wasn’t messing with you at all.” Evangeline’s tone was the same, flat and indifferent. “I really wanted the kingdom to be destroyed. And I didn’t want to be a vampire anymore. I wanted to become human.” Each word Evangeline spoke was met with new surprise from them. “What were you saying? Was your head alright? Besides, you were a vampire. How were you going to become human?” “Uncle Harper said that if a human’s kidney was implanted in my body, I’d become human.” Jack was about to say something, but when he heard the sound of the door opening, he stopped. The door opened, and a large vampire entered.“Princess Evangeline, you were here?” he said. “We’d been searching the whole cave for you.” He stopped and, furrowing his brows, asked, “By the way, what were you doing here?”
“No-no-no. Nothing.” Evangeline started stammering. Quickly regaining composure, she said, “Actually, I’d never seen humans before, so I came to see them. You know, they’re really nice. From now on, they’re my friends.” “Evangeline!” The vampire was about to shout but had caught himself. He said, “Was your head alright? You knew how bad they were? They came here to destroy our kingdom. And you were calling them nice. You were friends with them?” “I knew everything. But you also killed them. You drank their blood. So why wouldn’t they want to kill you?” Irrefutable logic. The vampire got scared. Stumbling, he said, “Uh, I mean... if the King heard this, she scolded you a lot. She probably killed me. You should come now. The King was calling you.” Evangeline stayed silent for a moment. Then she said, “Alright, let’s go.” They left. Everyone began thinking about Evangeline. Despite being a vampire, how much compassion she had for humans! She even wanted to become human. She wanted the downfall of the vampire kingdom too. How strange! While thinking these thoughts, they suddenly heard the sound of the door opening again. Everyone fell silent. The door opened, and Dr. Harper entered. They told him everything Evangeline said. After listening, Dr. Harper said, “Evangeline was made from human blood. I created her.” Everyone was quite surprised by Dr. Harper’s words. “I didn’t understand,” said Jack. “Could you explain a bit more clearly?” “Yes... yes,” everyone agreed. “Please explain everything.” “The Vampire King was no children,” Dr. Harper began. Jack interrupted him in the middle and asked, “Did vampires even have children?” “They did,” Dr. Harper replied. “What I had been saying was, the King had no children, so she was always upset. Then, one day, she’d declared that she needed a child, or she would kill everyone. So, I created Princess Evangeline from human blood. Since then, Evangeline has been the Vampire King’s daughter.”“But the Vampire King didn’t know that Princess Evangeline was made from human blood. The Vampire King was very weak when it came to Princess Evangeline.”
“She loved her dearly. The King had listened to everything Evangeline said. Whatever Evangeline told her to do, she was done. You all had still been alive because of her words.” “How was it possible to kill this Vampire King?” Jack asked as soon as Dr. Harper stopped talking. “It was almost impossible,” Dr. Harper answered. “Even killing any vampire here was impossible.” “But I knew,” Tulip spoke up, “that a single shot from the annihilation gun was enough to kill a vampire. And if you sprinkled holy water from an exorcism on the Vampire King, she’d die.” “You heard correctly. But that would have worked only if their bodies still had their souls.” “What did you mean, their bodies didn’t have souls?” “Yes. All the vampires here had their souls hidden in a secret place. Even mine. I didn’t know where my soul was hidden either. Even if you cut these vampires into pieces, they wouldn’t die. And even if you threw the Vampire King into holy water from an exorcism, it wouldn’t have harmed them.”

The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 1: The adventure begins
Adventure 1It was summer vacation, so the school closed for an entire month.A brown, curly-haired boy named Jack was lying down when his mobile phone started vibrating. As soon as he picked it up, he saw that Max was calling. Max was a tall boy who always loved to wander. Jack answered and put the phone to his ear. “Hello?”“Hey, how’s it going?” Max’s voice came through, lively as ever.“I’m good. How about you?”“Same here. So, with school off for a month, have you made any plans to go somewhere?”Jack smiled. “I already had a plan set up before school even ended. Next week, we’re heading to Demons Island. I’ve got everything ready—even the ship is arranged.”“Wow, really?” Max’s excitement was clear in his voice. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”“Surprise! I wanted to keep it a secret.”“Good. So, whose ship is it? How did you arrange it?”“It’s Uncle Daniel Scott’s ship,” Jack explained. “I talked to Uncle Daniel. Next week, he’ll be taking some supplies to Dick Island. Demons

As soon as they left the house, they caught a taxi and headed straight for the bus stand. They arrived just ten minutes before the bus was due to depart.If they had been any later, they might have missed it. Fortunately, they were ahead of schedule.The bus sped down the highway, its engine humming steadily. They sat side by side, with Jack by the window, gazing out at the passing scenery—though there wasn’t much to see.“Did you let Uncle Daniel know we’re coming?” Max asked.Jack shook his head. “No, I forgot. Hold on, I’ll call him now.” He reached into his pocket to grab his phone—but it wasn’t there. Then he remembered—he’d left it on the dressing table back home.Max raised an eyebrow. “I forgot mine, too. Now what? How are we going to contact Uncle Daniel?”“It’s fine,” Jack reassured him. “Uncle knows we’re coming. And I’m familiar with Mariner’s Bay.”“Let’s hope that’s enough,” Max muttered.They sat in silence for a while. An hour later, they arrived at the Mariner bus sta

No one spoke for a while. Max scanned the bushes carefully, but the darkness made it impossible to see anything.“Who do you think that could be?” Max asked.“Not ‘who,” Jack corrected him, “ask ‘what’.”“What do you mean, ‘what’?” Max frowned.“I’ll explain later. But first, let’s get out of here. It’s pitch-black around us.”“Alright, let’s go.”They hurried back to the hotel.“Now, tell me—why did you say that back there?” Max asked as he settled onto the bed.“What?”“Oh, come on! What you said while we were on the beach.”“Oh!” Jack raised an eyebrow. “You mean the thing that dashed away from the bushes? Are we even sure it was human?” he asked.“If it wasn’t a person, then what was it?” Max shot back. “You think it was some kind of animal?”“No,” Jack shook his head. “Not exactly. It wasn’t human, but it wasn’t an animal either. More like... both, somehow.”“Is your head alright?” Max raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean? Not human, not animal, but both at the same time?

Now, only the morning remained. The mystery of what had happened in that hotel might be solved by daybreak. They had spent the night on edge, nervously anticipating what was to come.Throughout the night, there had been numerous knocks on the door. The doorbell had chimed several times, too. Sometimes it was Mr. Parker, other times the hotel manager, and occasionally a staff member calling for them. But they never answered.Somehow, the hours passed, and dawn broke.

“I’m not sure,” Paul said, shaking his head. “But a man named Mr. Byrne lived north of here. He studied vampires. He died a few months ago, but he had a daughter. She could help us.”“How far is Mr. Byrne’s house from here?”“Not far—maybe ten miles.”“Then let’s go,” Jack said. He looked at Max. “What do you think?”Max shrugged. “It’s your call.”“Paul, are you coming?”“Yes, I’ll go,” Paul said without hesitation.“Alright, let’s go,” Jack said.“Yeah, let’s go,” Max agreed.With Paul’s help, they rented a sedan from a nearby car service and drove toward Mr. Byrne’s house. Along the way, Paul explained that Mr. Byrne was of Italian descent, though he had settled in the area. Jack suddenly remembered that his grandfather’s house was also in Italy. Though Jack had never visited, he silently promised to go with his father one day.Lost in thought, they eventually arrived at Mr. Byrne’s house. After ringing the doorbell three times, a girl opened the door. She looked to be about their

“That meant you guys were planning to go to that island?” Luna had said, looking at the boys. They had been talking in the living room. Luna had been seated on a sofa in front of the boys. She had been around their age, with ash-colored hair and light blue eyes—a pretty girl. They had already told her everything.“Yep,” Jack had nodded.“Did you know you could die from this?”“I told them,” Tulip had replied on the boys’ behalf. “But they didn’t listen. By the way, I didn’t see Auntie around.” Tulip had looked around. “Was she not home?”“Nope, she wasn’t.”“Where did she go?”“New York. She’ll be back in a week.”“Oh! Anyway, did you have the exorcism water with you?”“Yes, I kept some from my dad. You guys sit tight; I’ll go get it.” Saying this, Luna had left. She had come back shortly, holding a glass jar with a kind of liquid inside—sacred exorcism water. “Let’s go,” Luna had said.“Go Where?” Tulip had asked in surprise. “Where were you planning to go?”“Why?” Luna had looked eq

The eastern sky was beginning to brighten. The sun hadn’t risen yet. The water was clear and blue. The sky matched it perfectly. Not a single cloud in sight.Jack was steering the boat, silently looking ahead. The boat sped forward. Right beside him sat Paul, also staring quietly into the distance. The rest were seated in the back. No one was speaking. It was as if they were observing a moment of silence.Luna had been looking down, lost in thought. Max had fiddled with the Annihilin gun, inspecting it from different angles. Tulip had pored over the Vampire’s Island map spread across her lap, examining it closely.“How much farther?” Max suddenly broke the silence.“Not much farther,” Paul replied. He was the only one among them who had ever been close to Vampire’s Island before. He turned to Tulip. “Pass me the binoculars, will you?”Without a word, Tulip handed the binoculars to Paul. Taking them, he raised them to his eyes and began scanning the area. In the northeast, he spotted a

“The hotel manager was here! How was that possible? No, that couldn’t be. Why would he be here? So, was there no connection between the hotel manager and the vampire?”Max and Paul had already spotted the hotel manager. Like Jack, the same questions were racing through their minds.Suddenly, the manager started moving toward them. They decided it was best to hide and slipped into a nearby bush. From their hiding spot, they watched as the manager slowly transformed into a vampire. They understood everything in an instant: this villain was the one committing all those awful deeds at the hotel. But one thing puzzled the boys. As far as they knew, vampires couldn’t stand sunlight. If sunlight touched them, they’d die. Yet this vampire-manager seemed fine in both daylight and darkness; nothing bothered him. This guy could walk around freely in broad daylight. How was that possible?Luna provided the answer. She explained, “Some vampires can tolerate sunlight.”Thanks to the vampire manag

“I hadn’t heard a peep from you guys in a while,” Jack said, explaining to his friends how they’d gotten caught. “I got worried. I thought maybe you were in some trouble. I was heading over to check on the right side, but suddenly we got trapped in a snare. Then, out of nowhere, we ended up inside this cave.”“Oh!” Luna jumped in as soon as Jack paused. “We got caught just like you did!”“Just like us?”Then, Tulip, Max, and Luna told them how they’d been captured.For a while, no one spoke. They just sat there, silent. Finally, Max broke the silence. “So, we were trapped. No one left to save us.”Nobody responded to his comment. Silence hung in the air for a few moments.“It was a huge mistake for you to come here.” Suddenly, a voice called out from outside.Their ears perked up, but they couldn’t hear anything more. For some reason, both sisters felt the voice was oddly familiar. It seemed like they’d heard it countless times before, a voice of someone well-known to them. But tr
