The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 46: Keeping Secrets
As soon as Jack took a step after tying his shoelace, he couldn’t understand what happened in an instant. He found himself hanging upside down from the top of a large oak tree. A rope from above was tightly wrapped around his right ankle, keeping him suspended in the air.It took Jack a few moments to collect himself from the shock. When he looked down, his heart skipped a beat. He was dangling at least thirty feet above the ground. Falling from such a height would surely break his neck. Out of fear, he stopped flailing his arms and legs. Instead, he began shouting for help.Max suddenly noticed that Jack was no longer with them. “Hey, where’s Jack?” he asked.“Yeah, where did he go?” Luna added.“He was just with us,” Tulip pointed out. “Did he go back home?”“If he did, he would’ve told us,” Max said.Just then, they heard a shout. All three of them immediately perked up their ears. The sound came again after a brief silence. Breaking the quiet, Max said, “Isn’t that Jack’s voice?”
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 47: Moonlit Curiosity
Jack didn’t feel like sitting in his room anymore. He called home and chatted with his parents for a long time. After finishing the call, he went downstairs, grabbed a bottle of lemonade from the fridge, and returned upstairs. Holding the lemonade bottle, he walked to the long hallway in front of his room. As he looked outside, he noticed a car driving down the driveway toward the house."Dolly Aunty must have arrived," Jack guessed. Turning around, he saw the other three had also stepped out of their rooms—probably after hearing the sound of the car horn."Dolly Aunty’s here," Luna announced. "Let’s go downstairs." Without waiting for a reply, she started descending the stairs. The others followed her reluctantly.They reached the living room just as Dolly Aunty entered from outside."Auntyyy!" Luna exclaimed, running toward Dolly Aunty. Tulip followed right behind her. The boys stayed at the base of the stairs.Dolly Arnold hugged Luna and Tulip with both arms. "How are you two doin

He looked back, but Tania wasn’t there. He quickly scanned his surroundings. He couldn’t find her anywhere. He ran to the other end of the hallway. Still nothing. He called her name, but there was no response."Strange!" Jack muttered absentmindedly. "Where did she go? Disappeared in such a short time?"He started licking his lower lip with his tongue, something he did when he was trying to think. Suddenly, from a distance, a wolf howled in a mournful tone. That sound shattered the stillness of the night. Unconsciously, Jack flinched. Even in this heat, he began to feel cold. A strange terror engulfed him. He couldn’t stand there any longer. He quickly went to his room, closed the door and windows, and lay down.Despite everything feeling odd, he fell asleep soon after. He woke up from a nightmare. He saw himself standing in a large open field. Overhead, thousands of bats were flying. But these weren’t ordinary bats. They were bloodsucking bats. Vampires.In the dark, he fumbled for t
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 49: The Thrilling Tennis Match
Tania’s lips no longer held that mysterious smile. Her face was kind of tense, and her eyes had a sympathetic look. It seemed like she was feeling bad about Jack’s situation."Why is she doing this?" Jack asked himself, silently. But he couldn’t find an answer. Tania was such an odd girl. You could even say she was mysterious. Jack's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing sound of the telephone.Getting up from her seat, Tania lifted the receiver from the cradle and placed it to her ear. "Hello." There was silence for a moment. She seemed to be listening to someone on the other end. Then she said, "Yes... Yes... She’s here. Please hold on, I’ll give it to Mrs. Arnold." Looking at Dolly Auntie, she said, "Auntie, your call."Mrs. Arnold got up from the table and went to the phone. She took the receiver from Tania’s hand and placed it to her ear."Who... Mr. Gibson!! Yes... Yes... go ahead. No... no, now is not a good time?" There was a brief silence. After listening to the other side
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 50: Harry’s Trick
The boy is about their age. He might be a year or a year and a half older. Red hair. A face filled with brown freckles. His eyes are closed in pain. After Jack, Max, and Tulip rushed over. Lisa arrived a little later. She was supposed to be the first one to come. After all, the boy was closest to her. Luna was seen running over. Eliza and Peter followed behind, walking.Jack was quite shaken seeing the boy’s condition. Looking at Max and Tulip’s faces, he realized they were also shaken. However, it seemed that nothing had happened to Lisa, Eliza, and Peter. In fact, they had an expression of annoyance on their faces.“He needs to go to the hospital,” Jack said.“He doesn’t need to go anywhere,” Peter said, in an indifferent tone.Jack was surprised by Peter’s words. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Why?”“Because he’s fine,” Lisa answered.Jack couldn’t understand what they were saying. Finally, he said a bit more forcefully, “What are you all talking about? The boy is seriously inju
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 51: Cassie’s Secret Smile
They were watching Jack's actions from a distance. Even after such a long time, they became suspicious when Harry didn't get up. Suddenly, Max ran off. Luna and Tulip followed him. Then Peter and Lisa followed. Lastly, Eliza arrived.Just by looking at Jack's serious expression, they understood that something happened to Harry. He wasn’t pretending anymore. Something was seriously wrong with him.“We need to get him to the hospital quickly,” Jack suddenly said.“What happened to him?” Eliza asked.Jack avoided answering the question. He looked at Peter and asked, “How far is the hospital from here?”“It’s not very far,” Lisa answered on Peter’s behalf. “It’s about five or six miles away.”“Oh,” Jack exhaled in relief. He signaled to Max and Peter and said, “Grab him. We need to get him into the car.”“But what happened to him?” Eliza repeated her earlier question.“I don’t know,” Jack said in a detached manner. Max looked at him and furrowed his brow. Jack looked back at Max. Their ey
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 52: A Dangerous Realization
Peter was driving the car. Sitting next to him was Jack. The others were sitting in the back. Everyone was sitting silently. No one was speaking. The sun had set a long time ago. But the red glow of the twilight in the western sky had not completely faded yet. The birds were returning to their nests. Their dark silhouettes were visible against the red sky. The sky looked strangely beautiful. Through the car's windshield, Jack was gazing absentmindedly at it, soaking in the beauty. After a while, the car took a right turn and entered a narrow road shaded by large trees. From there, the sky was no longer visible. Jack lost the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the twilight. He quietly stared ahead. There was a thick darkness there. The Jeep's headlights were cutting through the darkness. But Jack kept staring into the dark. Saying "staring" would have been wrong, though—he was actually sitting, lost in thought. Thoughts were racing through his mind at lightning speed.“Was Cassie looki
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 53: Tania's Suspicion
A bat appeared in the sky from somewhere. It was so big that it covered the entire moon. And that shadow was falling on Jack. Lost in a strange daze, Jack wandered off. He absentmindedly stared at the sky. The bat’s eyes were glowing like fire. It was hissing and coming closer."Hey, what are you staring at over there?" Max called out, raising his voice.Jack’s trance broke at his call. He froze for a moment. "N-n... nothing. I’ll be right there," he said, then looked up at the sky again. The bat was exactly where it had been. But it was nowhere to be seen now. He quickly scanned the entire sky. Gone. Nowhere to be found.From the other side, Max’s impatient voice was heard. "What, are you still not coming?"Without saying anything else, and without looking in any other direction, Jack shouted toward them. Tania must have been waiting for them, as she opened the door already. She was probably sitting in the living room, waiting for them. As soon as the door was opened, they walked in.

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. As soon as he was free, John rushed toward Jenny, grabbing her by the shoulder to pull her back. But the monstrous Jenny shoved John aside. He tumbled to the floor.

John grabbed the wrench, but then a dark thought took hold of him. To save himself, he kicked the woman in the stomac
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
