The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 95: Echoes in the Darkness
Jack plopped down at the base of a tree. Following his lead, the other two also sat. They hadn't eaten anything for the past two days, and searching for Lily had left them exhausted. No one spoke for a while. Finally, Orin broke the silence."Where else should we look? We've scoured the entire area."Luke wanted to say, "Maybe Lily is no more," but he couldn't bring himself to utter the words. He couldn't believe it himself.Jack sat quietly. He firmly believed that nothing had happened to Lily. They would find her. But that was just his conviction; only Allah knows what will actually happen.Nocturnal creatures had awakened. Their calls filled the night jungle. The incessant chirping of crickets was almost deafening. An unknown bird wailed continuously in a mournful tone. Packs of jackals announced their presence with howls. But amid all these sounds, one noise alarmed them. It came from nearby—a sound they recognized well. A leopard's call. That meant a leopard was close. They knew
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 96: The Night Watch
Ghosts are not believed in by science. But there are many times on Earth when strange events happen that modern science cannot explain. So, who causes these events?However, whoever causes them, they operate above science. They don't follow any scientific principles. So, could it be that some supernatural events are happening now? They could be.Jack's hands and feet were freezing in fear. He couldn't understand what to do now. Should he call them? Should he say that he is trembling in fear of ghosts? No! This is not possible in any way. They would call him crazy.At that moment, the noise happened again. Jack perked up his ears to listen. This time, something gurgled near him. He sat up, keeping his ears alert. He wanted to hear the noise again. It seemed as if it was happening just for him. This time, Jack figured it out.He laughed to himself. He had mistaken the call of a wild cat for a ghostly sound. He felt like scolding himself for his foolishness. Thank goodness he hadn’t woke
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 97: A Ray of Hope
Frozen Darkness. Nothing can be seen. After a while, Lily sat on the floor inside the hole. She could not understand where she was now. Her body felt extremely weak. There was a sharp pain at the back of her head. When she touched it, she realized that spot was swollen.Slowly, everything came back to Lily. She realized that she was still lying in that same hole. But how long she had been there, she couldn't guess. She also couldn't figure out whether it was day or night."Well, did they leave?" she asked herself. If they had left her here, what would happen to her? She would starve to death, trapped in this darkness. The thought made Lily stop. She had to get out of this hole, but how? Her body was so weak that she could barely stand up from sitting. How would she escape from here with such a frail body?Lily sat silently for a while. She noticed something strange—there were no mosquitoes in this hole. Where there should have been a mosquito haven, there were none. Not just mosquitoe
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 1: The adventure begins
Adventure1***The spring sunset has painted the skies over Haven Brook. The final exam was over. School is closed; it's time to enjoy a well-deserved break!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 Max calling. He was his close school friend. He was a tall guy 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, on this vacation, have you planned 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?” 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 Un
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 2: The Mariner’s Bay
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 were a second late, 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
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 3: Reach to the hotel
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? What doe
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 4: The vampire kills Parker
Now, only the morning remained. The mystery of what happened in that hotel might be solved by daybreak. They spent the night on edge, nervously anticipating what was to come.Throughout the night, there were numerous knocks on the door. The doorbell 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. The sun peeked over the eastern sky, bringing with it a sigh of relief from them. After freshening up in the bathroom, they were ready. Now, all that was left was to wait.Soon, Mr. Parker would bring breakfast. And that’s when everything would be explained—at least, they hoped it would. The mystery of the hotel might finally have an answer.A few moments later, the doorbell rang with a soft chime. They thought it might be Mr. Parker. Jack jumped out of bed and rushed to open the door.When he did, a young man—about twenty or twenty-one—
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 5: The Planning with Tulip
“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 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 age,

Chapter 94: The Jungle at Nightfall
Luke sat alone, chewing on jerky. He didn't enjoy sitting idly like this; it felt monotonous. He needed to do something. But then, recalling Jack's warning, he hesitated. Jack had instructed him not to move from here. But for how long could he stay like this? He was already healed. So, what was the point of just sitting around? It was better to do something. Let Jack say whatever he wants later.But what should he do?The answer came immediately. Right in front of him were several dolphin trees. They don't grow very tall—about ten feet high and as thick as a fist. The main characteristic of these trees is that they are straight and very flexible, making them ideal for crafting bows.Without wasting any time, Luke used his pocket knife to cut down a six-foot-long dolphin tree. He split it down the middle, then carved and shaped it into a functional bow. Now he needed a string. Where could he find one? Vines could be used to make a string, but they wouldn't work well for a bow. He was t
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.
