stranger in our midst

Episode 13

I got home afterward, I noticed that the front door was open while going in.

I called mom's names but she wasn't answering back, I thought maybe her inability to answer might be because she is sleeping.

Unfortunately, when I walked into her room, I met the entire place empty.

Immediately I rushed into the kitchen, came out and ran to the store room, mom was missing.

I walked to the living room when I stepped on a note, I picked it up from the ground and read through.

It was stated at my mom had been kidnapped by the vampire king, and if I would want to save her, I should come to meet myself.

Vampire King? Who is that?

I set off to journey to a place I know nothing about, there was a map that was given at the end of the note.

The vampire's castle was situated in a dark and lonely forest, that prohibited for humans to walk in and come out alive.

I took a taxi to the train station.

Actually to the map, I would have to leave the city and get to a town called, blackwoods plain.

I got to the train station and walked in with my bags behind my back, I took a seat and while seated there, I looked out the window and could have sworn I saw Jax looking right at me.

..

No! I must be going insane.

I got to the town by eleven at night, everywhere was quiet, and it almost seemed like a ghost town.

I saw a bar open from afar and approached it.

I got into the bar and saw a lot of drunks trying to roam around.

One of them almost fell on me while I tried to move.

I came to the man serving at the bar, and he turns and asked if I would like to order.

The look on his face seemed like he did want me to order.

I sat on a chair and asked for a soft drink.

The man looks at me.

I thought maybe I had said something bad?, He later brings out his voice and tells me they don't sell soft drinks.

I laughed and nervously asked for a beer.

He nods and left.

I sat there alone with the letter I got from the vampire king and a map of his castle.

I was busy trying to find a route when a girl slapped her hands on a warden's craft.

I looked at her.

"Hello, I'm Ella," she introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Ava," I replied

Ella asked if she could seat, and I happily asked her too.

She asked me if I wanted to go to the vampire's castle.

I said I was and she happily volunteered to take me there.

Ella said since she worked at the castle getting me there won't be hard.

Ella also admitted that the vampire king was a vicious and feared vampire across the seven lands in tht kingdom.

He doesn't just take the woman he wants, he also takes anything he desires.
