"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
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 35: Whispers in the Darkness
Luna was about to say something when, just then, Jack pressed his hand over her mouth. Luna looked at Jack with a questioning gaze. Jack leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Stay quiet."Though Luna hadn’t fully understood, her sixth sense told her, "Stay quiet now." Responding to her sixth sense, she stayed silent."What happened?" James asked in a hushed voice.In response, Jack signaled for him to stay quiet by putting a finger to his lips. James understood and fell silent. But the question lingering in both their minds was, Why did Jack act like that?It seemed like the answer to their question came when the cheetah suddenly roared. James lifted his head, peeking through a gap in the tree, and saw a large cheetah standing not far from them. It wasn’t exactly standing—it was sniffing something, probably their scent. To confirm James’s thought, the cheetah started moving toward them. Jack saw it too. His body language had made it clear. Luna, too, had probably noticed it.Jack
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 36: A Mysterious Savior in the Night
The fire was dying down. What would happen now? Would they have to die at the hands of the cheetahs?"If I have to die, I’ll fight to the end," Luna resolved firmly to herself. She took Jack's knife. She also removed another wooden stick from her waist. Knife in her right hand, stick in her left. Luna knew she couldn't win against both cheetahs, but still, she couldn’t just give up without a fight.At one point, the fire completely went out. One of the cheetahs had come to the cave entrance. It seemed to be waiting to pounce on them. Before the cheetah could strike, Luna leaped at it. She drove the knife into its chest. The cheetah had let out a deafening roar, one that could make your ears ring.The cheetah had thrown Luna off with a swipe, sending her tumbling away. She lost both the knife and the stick in the fall. She also injured her waist. Meanwhile, the injured cheetah continued to roar on the ground. The other cheetah was now charging toward Luna. It got very close. Luna reali
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 37: A Vampire’s Secret
Where had Jack gone? Had something happened to him? A flood of disjointed thoughts gathered in Luna’s mind. No! Nothing happened to Jack. She reassured herself. Nothing could happen to Jack. She tried to push away the chaotic thoughts from her mind. She stepped out of the cave. Looking around, she began searching for Jack. Suddenly, her gaze became stuck in one direction. There, sitting on the ground, Jack was deeply focused on something. He was so absorbed in it that he seemed unaware of anything happening around him. But what was Jack doing there? Luna walked over to Jack. She placed a hand on his back. Jack jumped in surprise. "Oh! Luna. You." he said. "Why? Were you expecting someone else?" Luna asked. "No-no, it's not that." Jack stammered. "Actually, I got a little startled." "So, what are you doing sitting here?" "This." Jack showed her a bright white locket. "I came to find you, and suddenly I found this here." Luna furrowed her brow as she looked at the locket. She

A dense, thick jungle. One tree seemed to lean against another. Along with that, there were small shrubs and vines. They struggled to move forward, cutting through these obstacles. Every now and then, they got scratched. It was like being in the very depths of hell."I can't go on anymore." Luna, bent over, supporting herself on her knees, stopped walking. "I can't take another step." She was panting heavily."You have to," Jack said. He was also panting. "I'm struggling too. But that doesn't mean we can just stop.""Right. Okay, fine, we’ll keep going. But we need a little rest now.""Okay, fine. Sit down then."The two of them sat down on the ground. They shared the last of the water in the bottle."How much longer like this?" Luna suddenly asked. "Where will we find them?""I don’t know." Jack shook his head. "But we have to keep trying. Until we die, if we must.""Then get up," Luna urged him."Hmm, let's go."They continued through the jungle. It was so dark that they had to use
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 39: A Mysterious Reunion
Everyone was right in front of them—Max, Sofia, Tulip, Teresa, and James. They had all been stunned. The others were equally shocked. However, Jack and Luna had just been happy that they were alive. "You're alive?" Jack asked, his voice filled with excitement. "Can't you see?" Max laughed. "Well, I can see that." "Then why are you asking again?" "Anyway, how did you end up here? Tell us everything." One by one, they explained everything to Jack and Luna. Jack and Luna also shared their story. Shortly after, someone came and gave them food. They weren't able to see the person's face. "Wow!" Jack exclaimed. "Looks like there's food here too." "Hmm." Max shook his head. "Every day someone brings us food." "But we don't know who's keeping us captive here," Tulip said. "Probably a vampire's keeping us," Luna said. "But why would a vampire keep us here? They would have drained our blood the moment they caught us," Max said. Just as Max was about to say something, someone came in

Evangeline was hiding herself like this, but why? And why was she introducing herself as Eva? "There must be a big secret behind this," said Jack. In response, Max said, "I can understand that too. But what is that secret?" Jack exhaled with a hiss and said, "I don't know." Tulip said, "I am thinking about something else." "What?" "Who has trapped us here? And what do they gain by keeping us trapped?" "That too is something to think about," Jack nodded absentmindedly. "They have trapped us here, true. But have you seen the food? So many delicious dishes? And they are giving it to us on time. Apart from being trapped, they aren’t causing us any other trouble." Max said, "I don’t understand anything. Nothing is making sense." Suddenly, the sound of a lock opening was heard. At that sound, everyone fell silent. The door opened, and, as usual, a vampire entered. "The Emperor has called you," it said as it entered. Max said, "Didn't I just meet with him a little while ago?" "When
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 41: Evangeline's Secret
Max and Tulip run towards the door. But going there did no good; it didn’t work. The door was made of iron. There wasn’t even the slightest crack through which something from the outside could be seen. "Who could it be?" Max said, turning back from the door. In response, Jack said, "Evangeline. It has to be Evangeline." "Why do you think so?" Luna asked. "From the voice. I’m sure that’s Evangeline’s voice." "Yeah, it could be," James, who came closer to them, spoke up. "I’ve heard Evangeline’s voice before. This is definitely Evangeline’s voice." "So Evangeline is secretly helping us," Tulip said absent-mindedly. "But why is she pretending not to know us?" Max said, "There’s probably a mystery behind this." "But what could that mystery be?" Jack seemed to be questioning himself. "What should we do now?" Max asked. "I don’t know. We’re stuck in a place from which escaping seemed impossible. And we only had one more day. After that, we’d die. I couldn’t even tell whether it wa

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

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

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

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.

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
