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 equally surprised. “I’m going with you guys.”
“To that island?”
“Yes.”
“You didn’t need to go.”
“I’m going,” Luna had insisted. “And if you didn’t take me, I wouldn’t give you the exorcism water.”
Reluctantly, they had agreed, and Luna had joined them.
As usual, Jack had driven. Within half an hour, they had reached Tulip’s house. Tulip had unlocked the door, and they all had gone inside. She had led them into a hidden room filled with strange, strange weapons.
“This is called the Annihilin Gun,” Tulip had said, showing them a weapon with a long, thick barrel. “A single shot from this, and any vampire would die. Except for the Vampire King. To kill him, you’d need to sprinkle exorcism water on him. There’s no other way to kill the Vampire King.”
“But who was going to kill this Vampire King?” Max had asked. “I mean, who would sprinkle the exorcism water on him?”
“I will,” Paul had said firmly. “I’ll kill the Vampire King.”
“Whoever gets the chance will kill him,” Jack had said. “If we didn’t get the chance, we were done for.”
“Yeah! You’re right,” everyone had agreed.
Tulip had introduced them to different types of weapons, explaining what each one would be used for. Then they had gone to the laboratory. The boys had looked around curiously. Cabinets filled with glass jars had lined the room, each one containing various chemicals.
Tulip had taken out a hand-drawn map from a drawer in one of the cabinets—a map of Vampire Island. He had explained that it had been drawn by his father.
“During the day, the vampires hid in this part of the island,” Tulip said, pointing to a spot on the map. “They didn’t come out in daylight. But there were still plenty of dangers lurking on that island, so we had to be cautious at every step.”
“Were we going to attack them right at their hideout?” Max asked.
Tulip nodded, putting the map back in the drawer. Turning to Max, he said, “They never came out in daylight, so we had to attack them at their hideout.”
“Won’t they be really powerful in their own lair?”
“Of course,” Tulip nodded again. “Naturally, they were strongest in their hideout. But we had to take the risk. They never left their lair except under the cover of darkness.”
“Were we going by boat?” Jack asked.
“Yes, by boat,” Tulip replied. “And, we had to leave very early in the morning. We needed to bring a lot of weapons, too. If anyone saw us, it could be trouble.”
“Exactly how early?”
“Let’s say, around five in the morning.”
“Oh, got it.”
They continued discussing their plan for a while longer. At one point, Jack filled his locket with a bit of water from the exorcism jar—just in case it might come in handy later. They also called the hotel manager to inform him that Jack and Max wouldn’t be returning to the hotel.
The two sisters went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while the boys chatted on the balcony. Listening to Paul’s story made them sad. The boy had been through a lot. His father had died at the hands of vampires, and his mother had passed away a long time ago. He had no one close to him and lived alone.
“Come with us,” Jack suggested.
Paul smiled and shook his head. “This is my homeland. I’m not going anywhere.”
Jack didn’t say anything further. Just then, they heard Tulip calling. “Dinner’s ready,” she announced. “Come to the dining room.”
They had dinner together, and afterward, each of them went to their room to sleep.
That night, Jack had a terrifying dream. He saw a vampire biting into his neck, drinking his blood.
He woke up. Finishing all the water in the glass on the table beside him, he went back to sleep.
Toward the end of the night, everyone woke up. Jack shared the dream he had seen with his friends. Everyone was surprised to hear it. They’d had the same dream too. They brushed it off as a mere coincidence.Once refreshed, they all headed to the armory, each picking out weapons as they pleased. Jack chose an Annihilin gun, a sub-gun, two Vibos, and several special Vibo grenades.
Max picked an Annihilin gun, an Ultra-2, and six special Vibo grenades. Paul selected an Annihilin gun, eight special Vibo grenades, and two Ultra-4s. Tulip and Luna each took an Annihilin gun, six special Vibo grenades, and three Ultra-92s.
The boat was ready ahead of time. It belonged to Tulip. With everything packed, they boarded the boat. As soon as the engine started, the boat cut through the waves and sped toward Vampires Island.
They all looked back one last time at Demons Island. If they survived, maybe they’d see it again someday.

The eastern sky was beginning to brighten. The sun hadn’t risen yet. The water was clear and blue. The sky matched it perfectly.

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

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.

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.

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?
