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 try as they might, they couldn’t place it.
“This voice… It sounded so familiar,” Luna said. “Yeah, I felt the same way,” Tulip replied, shaking her head absentmindedly as she stared off in the other direction. Hearing the girls’ conversation, the boys were a bit puzzled. “Aren’t we the only ones here? And all the others were vampires,” Max said. “So how would someone you knew show up here?” “If it was a vampire,” Jack replied, “why would it say something like that?” “That’s what I was wondering, too,” Paul added. Meanwhile, neither of the sisters was speaking. They sat in silence, absorbed in deep thought. “I remembered,” Tulip suddenly said. All eyes turned toward her. “What?” they all asked in unison. “Dr. Jon Harper.” The boys’ brows furrowed. “Dr. Jon Harper? Who was that?” “He was the one who spoke outside a moment ago—Jon Harper.” They leaned in, intrigued. “Who was Jon Harper?” Jack asked. “Dr. Jon Harper,” Tulip replied. “He used to live in California and often visited our house with Dad.” “I remembered now, too,” Luna chimed in. “Doctor Jon Harper. He also researched vampires. But he disappeared two years ago and hasn’t been seen since.” “This vampire here was Dr. Jon Harper,” Tulip insisted. “How was that even possible?” Max exclaimed. “How could a vampire be Dr. Jon Harper? Just because they had the same voice, did that really mean this vampire was him?” “I got that people could sound alike,” Tulip replied, “but the way he talked made me think he really was Dr. Jon Harper. His mannerisms suggested he was on our side. Why else would a stranger take our side?” Good point—why would a stranger be on their side? “That was true,” they had to agree. A moment of silence followed. No one said anything, just sitting quietly. Jack kept licking his lower lip, clearly deep in thought. “You know what I thought?” Jack suddenly spoke up. Everyone looked at him, drawn out of their thoughts, with the same question in their eyes: “What?” “These vampires—they weren’t going to kill us anytime soon.” The others were surprised. “Why did you think that?” Luna asked. “I didn’t know,” Jack shook his head. “But I just felt like they wanted us to do something for them, and that was why they were keeping us captive instead of killing us.” It was a fairly strong argument. They couldn’t disagree. Max was about to say something, but he fell silent as the sound of a door opening reached them. A vampire opened the door and entered. He held a large tray in his hands. Quietly, he placed it on the floor and left. As soon as the vampire was gone, they moved toward the tray. The tray was filled with lots of food, and just the sight of it made their mouths water.They were all starving. Without saying a word, they started eating. When they finished, they sat quietly for a while. Stuck in the closed room, they couldn’t tell if it was day or night.
A little while later, they heard the sound of the door opening again.
A female vampire entered. In the dim light, they could see her clearly.
She didn’t look much older than them, but it was hard to guess a vampire’s age since they had lived for many years.
“So, you’re humans?” the girl said.
“Yes.” Jack nodded, his voice serious. “We’re humans.” “I’d actually never seen a human before,” she said, almost as if offering an excuse. “I heard some humans were kept here, so I came to see.” They were shocked at what she said. “What did you mean!” Jack exclaimed, frowning. “You’d never seen a human before!” With a hint of bitterness, he added, “You vampires survived by drinking our blood.” “I didn’t drink blood,” the girl said. “I didn’t like the taste of blood at all.” They were even more surprised by her words. Their brows furrowed. “You didn’t drink blood? Then how did you survive?”“I lived on fruits,” she said.
“But you were a vampire,” Tulip said. “Vampires survived by drinking blood. Why didn’t you?” “I was a vampire,” she replied, “but I just didn’t like drinking blood. You know, I really liked humans. I even wished I could be human. My uncle, Collingwood, always told me stories about humans.” They were dumbfounded by what she said. A vampire who wanted to be human—could anything be more surprising? But there was something else that caught their attention. “My uncle, Collingwood, always told me stories about humans.” Who was this Collingwood? “Who’s Collingwood?” Luna asked. “He was my uncle,” the girl said. “He knew a lot about humans.”“Evangeline… what were you doing here?” A voice called from outside. That familiar voice—it was Dr. Jon Harper.
They realized the girl’s name was Evangeline. “Was your name Evangeline?” Jack asked. “Yep!” The girl nodded. “Van Evangeline. And yeah, that’s my Uncle Collingwood.” Evangeline gestured outside.“Ask your uncle to come inside.”
“I’ll tell him,” she replied, starting to call Jon Harper, who was outside. Hey, Uncle, come over here.” “No.” A reply comes from outside. “I can’t come in right now. You come with me. King (Your Father) is calling for you.” “Alright, I’m coming,” said Evangeline. “Then go ahead,” Paul told Evangeline. “I’m going now. I’ll come back later.” Evangeline left. They all started talking about Evangeline and Jon Harper. Just then, they heard the sound of the door opening again. They looked at the door in surprise. Jon Harper was standing there. “You’re Dr. Byrne’s daughter, weren’t you?” Jon Harper asked Tulip. “Yes,” Tulip nodded. “And you’re Dr. Jon Harper, right?” “No. I’m Collingwood.” “Don’t lie. I know you’re Uncle Harper.” “Well, since you know, fine. But stay quiet. For now, I’m Collingwood.” They understood Jon Harper’s intent. Tulip understood too and said nothing more. “But how had you gotten here?” Jack asked. “And how were you a vampire?” “This wasn’t the time to explain,” Dr. Harper replied. “You’ll find out later. And no, I’m not a vampire. I’m human. My body just looked like one of theirs.” Suddenly, he furrowed his brow and asked, “But why had you come here?” “To destroy the vampire kingdom.”“Had you all been out of your minds? You kids come here to destroy a vampire kingdom?”
“Actually, Uncle,” Jack hesitated a bit. “We never thought it would come to this. But why had they kept us prisoner without killing us?” “For Princess Evangeline.” “I didn’t understand. Can you explain?” Dr. Harper was about to say something when another vampire entered the room as the door had opened. He fell silent immediately, saying nothing further. The stranger vampire brought them food. Leaving the tray of food, he had left. Dr. Harper had gone along with him. They were alive because of Princess Evangeline! But why had that been? No one could figure it out. This stirred thoughts among everyone. A little while later, they heard the door open again. Who could have been coming now? They had just brought them food a moment ago.So who could have been coming now?

Someone 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
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.

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?

“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.

“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.

Chapter 8: Caught by vampire
“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
