The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 27: The Secret of the Worshipper
Luna drove the jeep. Sofia sat next to her in the passenger seat. The rest sat in the back. Jack placed his hand on James's shoulder and asked, “What’s wrong, James? Why are you crying?” “The lottery is today,” James replied in a detached tone. “What lottery?” “Didn’t I tell you? Every year, on the third night of the waxing moon, a virgin girl has to be sacrificed. The selection is done through a lottery.” “Oh! But why are you crying over it?” “I don’t want to lose my sister.” “Nothing will happen to Sofia. There are other girls in the village. They’ll pick someone else.” “No, there aren’t many left. There were eight girls in the village. Four had already left. And today, Lily died. Now, only three girls remained, including Sofia.” “Don’t cry,” said Max. “We won’t let anything happen to Sofia.” James didn’t seem comforted by Max’s words. He kept crying. “So, when did this whole sacrifice thing begin?” Jack asked. “Thirty years ago.” “Who came up with the idea? I mean, who
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 28: The Impossible Turn
"Is there absolutely no way to turn the car around?" Max asked. "No," Luna shook her head in frustration. "The road is too narrow, and there’s no other path ahead." "What about here? Can’t we turn the car around in this spot?" Jack suggested, pointing at a slightly wider stretch of the road. "Even the best driver in the world probably couldn’t turn a car around in that space. And I’m far from the best," Luna replied. "Well, we can at least try," Jack countered. "Are you crazy? One small mistake, and we’ll tumble straight down that hundred-foot drop," Luna warned, gesturing toward the deep ravine beside the road. Jack glanced at the ravine. It was deep—falling there would have meant certain death. Yet sitting idle in that spot seemed equally dangerous; the situation could have escalated into something life-threatening at any moment. He stared at the ravine for a few moments, absentmindedly licking his bottom lip, then said, "You get out of the car. I’ll give it a shot." Without a
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 29: A Dangerous Decision
"What happened?" asked Jack.No one answered. It seemed like no one even heard him. "Someone tell me, what happened?" he said again."Sofia.." With just that, the maid, Teresa, started crying.Jack understood from Teresa's words what happened. Still, to be sure, he asked, "Was there a lottery?""Hmm." Teresa nodded. "Sofia should be informed."With their help, James and Sofia learned Italian in just two days. Jack learned a little more than the rest, which is why he had no trouble understanding Teresa's words.Meanwhile, James wrapped his arms around Sofia and started crying. Amelia had lost consciousness. Luna was pouring water over her head. Mr. Michael sat quietly. He seemed like a statue, frozen by grief. Everyone was silent. No one spoke a word.The whole house seemed to be under the shadow of sorrow."Sofia will be fine. We won’t let anything happen to her." Jack said, placing a hand on Mr. Michael's shoulder.In response, Mr. Michael hugged him and started crying.Jack looked a
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 30: The Mysterious Vampire
Jack noticed that the vampire wasn't very big. It was around his age. He started grappling with it to save himself, but he couldn't manage. After all, it was a vampire. Its strength was greater than that of a human. After struggling with the vampire for a long time, Jack became exhausted. He fell to the ground. He gave up hope of survival. He prepared himself for death. He closed his eyes, waiting for the vampire to pounce on him. After a while, when nothing happened, he opened his eyes and looked. To his surprise, instead of one, there were two vampires. And they were fighting each other. Though he couldn't make out the face of the other vampire in the mobile's flash, Jack could tell from the body structure that it was a female vampire. It was the male vampire who had attacked him. That meant the girl came to save him! But why would a vampire come to save him? Jack thought, maybe the two vampires were fighting to drink his blood. But just as he thought this, the female vampire
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 31: The Locked Box
Jack and James went inside and saw that the priest was lying face down on the floor. They were stunned at the sight. For a moment, their minds froze. They couldn't understand what happened to the priest. Jack quickly lifted the priest's head onto his lap. He noticed a wooden rod inserted into the priest's chest.The priest was trying to say something to them, but no words were coming out of his mouth. With great difficulty, he pointed toward something with his finger before he died. Jack and James looked in the direction the priest pointed. They saw a wooden box there. "James." James looked at him. "Yeah, what is it?" "Do you have the local police station's number?" "Yes, I do." "Call the police." "Okay." James called the local police station. Meanwhile, Jack began examining the wooden box. The box was quite sturdy, and its lid was locked. It was made of mahogany wood and seemed very old. Jack noticed there was a brass seal on the box. He turned on his phone's flash and carefu
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 32: A Dangerous Detour
"But sir..." Jack was about to say something. But the officer didn’t let him finish. Interrupting, he said, "No buts. You all will stay here until it is proven that you're innocent."Suddenly, a man entered the room. He was wearing black court attire with white pants. Upon seeing him, all the constables, havildars, and officers saluted.James stared at him for a moment before running and hugging the newcomer.Max and Jack couldn’t make sense of what was happening."James." The stranger was surprised. "You’re here!""I have the same question!" James said. "Why are you here?""I’ve been transferred to this station. I didn’t want to give you a heads-up, so it would be a surprise. But why are you here? And who are these two with you?""Uncle, these are my friends. And this is my cousin." James pointed to Jack. "And this is my uncle, Inspector Ben." James introduced them to Inspector Ben."Hello, Uncle." Jack extended his hand. Max also reached out. Inspector Ben shook their hands."Now te
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 33: A Terrifying Discovery
Mr. Michael’s words were met with no further reply. They knew there was no point in saying anything more. What was done was done. There was nothing more to be done now. Everyone quietly went to their rooms.After a short break, Tulip asked, "What happened to your hand, Max?""It’s broken," Max answered flatly."How?""I’ll explain," said Jack. Then, he told them everything that happened on their way.Luna asked, with some concern, "Are you all okay?""No. I’m fine. Max just has a small cut on his head."A little while later, they were called for dinner. They all went to eat. Everyone was there, but no one spoke. They quietly ate. When they were about to get up after finishing, Mr. Michael said, "Look, I don’t want anything to happen to any of you because of my daughter. I told your uncle not to come, but he didn’t listen to me. Even so, you’ve come here to visit. I want you to enjoy your time and leave safely. There’s no need for you to get involved in all of this. Despite my warnings,

"What happened?" asked Jack. "Why were you shouting?""Look there." Tulip pointed ahead with her hand.They all looked in that direction. But no one could see anything.Jack said, "Where? There was nothing there.""Wait, I’ll bring it to show you." Saying that Tulip took a few steps forward. Then, bending down, she picked up a red handkerchief.They were quite surprised when they saw the handkerchief."Hey!" Jack exclaimed. "This was Max’s handkerchief. I was with him last night.""That’s what I was saying," Tulip replied."Let me see." Jack took the handkerchief from Tulip’s hand. He looked at it carefully and said, "There’s blood on it.""Blood!" they gasped."Yes, blood.""Let me see, let me see." Jack’s hand was brushed away as Max grabbed the handkerchief. "Yeah," he shook his head. "It’s true. There’s blood on it."One by one, they all looked at the handkerchief. Then Jack said, "There was no point in wasting time now. Let’s go inside."Meanwhile, while the others were discussin

Chapter 93: Burning Tracks and Blood Trails
A monstrous creature hurled Luke into the air. He landed on a seat beside the window, crying out in pain. Moments later, he saw them running away. He felt a surge of happiness, knowing he was saving his friends at the cost of his own life—what could be more gratifying?One of the monsters grabbed Luke by the throat, cutting off his air. He gasped for breath, struggling and flailing to break free, but couldn't escape that powerful grip. Deprived of oxygen, his head began to spin. A few more moments like this, and he would be dead. Ceasing his futile thrashing, he groped around, hoping to find something to strike the monster with. His hand touched a sharp metal rod. He grabbed it and thrust it into the monster's eye. The creature roared so loudly that Luke's eardrums felt like they might burst. The monster released him, and Luke gulped in air. At that moment, another monster attacked, sending him flying. He found himself in the engine room. Quickly regaining his composure, he slammed th
Chapter 92: The Fangs of Fate
Jack had been gone for quite a while in search of water. His prolonged absence began to worry them."Could it be that Jack's in trouble?" Orin wondered."Why is he taking so long?" Lily's voice was filled with anxiety. "I hope he hasn't run into any danger.""I don't know." Orin shook his head uncertainly."How about we search the area around us?" Lily suggested."That could be done," Orin agreed. "But I think we should wait a bit longer."Lily looked at Orin inquisitively. "Why?""Imagine we go out looking for him, and he returns in the meantime. If he doesn't find us here, he'll get worried and start searching for us. It's better if we wait a little longer to see if he comes back."Orin's reasoning made sense. Lily agreed, feeling it was best to wait a bit more.Just a couple of yards away from Jack, the king of cobras, the King Cobra, sat coiled. Its menacing hood was raised, eyes fixed on Jack. The snake's eyes were a vivid red, as if painted with a deep crimson hue. Typically, Ki
Chapter 91: A Sip of Danger
They kept running without a break. Their bodies couldn’t take it anymore. The muscles in their legs had gone stiff, almost numb. The strain was pressing down on their ligaments — any more running and it felt like they might snap.Suddenly, Orin came to a stop. Bending over, hands on his knees, he gasped, “I can’t go any further.” He was panting heavily. Seeing him stop, Jack and Lily halted as well, collapsing onto the ground. For a while, no one spoke. The only sound was their ragged breathing.“I can’t take another step,” Lily finally broke the silence.“Me neither,” Orin agreed. Jack stayed quiet, though his legs were just as drained. It dawned on them that they had ventured deep into the jungle. The trees here were denser, their canopies so thick that barely any sunlight reached the forest floor. The ground was damp, and everything around them felt moist. It rained here almost year-round, making the humidity sky-high. The air felt heavy, with over eighty percent humidity, making t
Chapter 90: The Fire before Dawn
"Hey!" someone shouted. The monsters all turned towards the sound. Jack and Luke stood there, each holding two torches. The torches were made by wrapping cloth around the head of a metal wrench and soaking it in petrol. Jo, Orin, and Lily saw them too. A smile spread across Lily's face. Luke hurled one torch at the monsters. Flames engulfed their bodies. Luke lit another torch with his lighter. Jack handed Jo a metal rod and told him to open the door with it. Meanwhile, Luke and Jack fought to keep the monsters at bay. Jo shoved the rod into the door and twisted it hard. The door creaked open. One by one, Jo, Orin, and Lily scrambled through. Jack and Luke stayed behind, holding off the monsters."Go!" Luke shouted. "I’ll handle them.""But I won’t leave you behind," Jack protested."Don’t worry about me." Luke drove the metal rod into one monster's eye. "Just go. Go!"But Jack refused to leave Luke alone. Luke realized Jack wouldn’t go willingly, so he shoved him through the door. Ja

The old man kept telling Jenny to calm down, but he knew she would never be calm again.Finally, the middle-aged woman untied John’s hands and feet.

Chapter 88: The Final Light
"Okay, do you think we can make it back from here?" Orin asked.Joe didn’t say anything in response. He was leaning over the engine. He looked outside through the windshield. The moon had become dull. It was no longer shining. Everything was covered in darkness.Lily placed her hand on Orin’s shoulder. Orin jumped, startled. He turned to look at Lily. He smiled. A lifeless smile.Lily smiled too. "Of course, we’ll make it back."Luke was lying under the train, fixing the fuel gauge leak. He was being helped by Jack."Pass me the wrench," Luke said.Jack handed the wrench to Luke. "Where did Matthew go?" Luke muttered."How much longer will it take?" Jack asked, changing the subject. He was holding the flashlight."Almost done," Luke replied."It’ll be good once it’s done," muttered Jack.At that moment, somewhere far off, an unknown creature let out a sorrowful cry. Jack’s hand, holding the flashlight, shook. He didn’t understand why it was shaking. Luke looked at Jack. He guessed tha

Orin was startled. "Jenny, what's happened to you?" he asked with a fearful voice. Jenny didn’t answer. She kept growling like an animal."Let me see!" The old man shoved John forward. "Jenny, what's wrong with you?" He shook Jenny’s shoulder and asked. Jenny looked back at the old man. "Open the door. Let me go," she kept saying."Calm down, Jenny." The old man placed his hand on Jenny’s shoulder. "Everything will be okay.""Nothing will be okay," John said. He had a metal range in his hand. He moved forward. "Jenny is no longer a normal human. She's transforming into a monster. We have to kill her.""Get away from me." The old man growled. John didn’t back off. He moved closer. "Look, Mr.," he tried to convince the old man, "Jenny won’t get better. If she stays alive, we’ll all die at her hands."But the old man didn’t understand. He became enraged. "If you take one more step forward, I’ll smash your head in," he shouted."But I can't die for her," John said, and moved towards Jenny
Chapter 86: Secrets of the Past
Even though everyone else rushed off in panic, Orin stood still, bewildered. He couldn’t figure out what to do. That didn’t go unnoticed by Jo. He rushed towards Orin to save him. By then, the monster had reached Orin. Jo grabbed Orin and pulled him away. In trying to save Orin, Jo himself got into trouble. He stumbled and fell to the floor. The monster moved closer. There was no escape left. He waited for certain death. The monster leaned in close to Jo’s face and roared. Terrified, Jo shut his eyes. At that moment, the monster froze. Jo opened his eyes in surprise to see what had stopped it. In the next moment, he saw Orin had thrust a metal sheet into the monster’s belly.The monster threw Orin away with its powerful hand. Orin was flung far across the room. Just then, Jack struck the monster’s head with a metal rod. The monster turned to face him. From behind, Jon hit it with a cylinder. Luke shoved a sharp rod into the monster’s eye. Jo hit it with a metal rod. Lily struck the mo
Chapter 85: Paul’s Last Knock
"A window iron mesh was being installed by Jack. But it kept falling down again and again. To help him, Luke stepped forward. Together, they managed to install the mesh. Jack thanked Luke. A smile spread across Luke's face. This was the second time he smiled today. Just like the first time, his smile was wonderful. Just as his face was beautiful, his smile was just as charming. If Jack were a girl, by now she would have fallen in love with Luke."You're a very smart boy," Luke said.In response, Jack smiled and said, "There's no need for so much praise. Intelligence is in everyone's mind. Some can make use of it, some can't. The one who can use it, we call him smart, and the one who can't, we call him foolish."Until now, Luke had been listening to Jack's words, absorbed. As soon as he finished speaking, it was like he came back to reality. "I knew you were smart, but this much, I couldn't have guessed.""There’s still a lot of work left," Jack said, changing the topic.He didn’t like
