~ Lumiére’s POV~He had already sent the message to the outlaws, and he knew deep down that they wouldn't dare keep the powerful High Lord waiting for long."What are we waiting for exactly?" Arin curiously inquired, just as he caught sight of them.Lumiére's gaze turned towards the figures approaching in the distance. It was the very outlaw Vampires he had reached out to, the ones he had summoned. Though the invisible barrier tried its best to obscure their view, Lumiére's sharp eyesight allowed him to discern the outline of the approaching vampires, making out their forms across the vast, frigid expanse of land.Among them, Lumiére easily identified the leader of the outlaws, a distinctive smirk creeping onto his face. This man stood out from the rest of the group, not due to his height, but rather because of his short and sturdy build. Unlike any vampire Lumiére had encountered before, he was clad in an abundance of clothing that covered his body, an unusual sight in the vampire w

~ Raven's POV~Raven felt extremely bored that morning. She had woken up at the super early time of three in the morning, as there was absolutely nothing to keep her occupied. So, she decided to explore the entire house, which was so gigantic that it seemed like it was built for a whole bunch of people, even though only a few actually lived there.To her understanding, Uncle Ben, Jansen, Achim, and the rest of the staff were supposed to reside in the house, and maybe Nolan. But strangely enough, she couldn't find any of them anywhere. It's quite puzzling because they are Night Watchers, a group of people who should be wide awake during the night, protecting everyone from the creatures of the dark. However, it seems like this particular group preferred to snooze through the very same night they should be out there battling those vampires.Raven decided to take the first hallway on the left and strolled along its length. As she walked, she noticed several closed doors, but she wasn't
~ Raven's POV~As Jansen's eyes met Achim's, she could sense a mix of irritation and fondness, as if their relationship was a complicated blend of friendship and playful banter." Seriously, you came here to avoid me?" Jansen muttered.“ Dude go away and let me sleep…” Achim mumbled.Jansen quickly glanced in their direction, saying a quick "good morning" before walking over to where Achim was resting and started shaking him."Come on, let's do this together...just one time," Jansen begged.She raised an eyebrow, curious about what they were talking about."No...you said that the last time and the time before that, and honestly, all morning. I really need to sleep, Jansen. I don't want to spar with you...it's tiring," Achim grumbled.Spar? So they were training? And here she thought they were all sleeping. Well, if Achim didn't want to spar with Jansen, maybe she could test her strength. Even though she was still relying on instincts and might not know how to defend herself properly,
~ Raven's POV~Raven's attention was solely fixed on Jansen, her opponent in the fighting ring. Never before had she felt such intense focus directed towards one person. Jansen smirked, which only fueled her determination as she circled him.Although she couldn't explain how she knew, Raven sensed that Jansen was actively searching for any vulnerability he could exploit. It was as if he was studying her every move, searching for an opportunity to gain an upper hand. Suddenly, Jansen made his move, launching a punch directly at her face. Reacting instinctively, Raven swiftly evaded the attack, leaping away to the other side of the ring."Attack instead of just defending," Jansen grumbled, his frustration evident in his voice. She really didn’t know what that means. Everything she was doing in the ring was based solely on her instincts and reflexes. Jansen struck again, this time grabbing her in the middle and swiftly throwing her over his shoulders. Raven hit the ground hard, and
~ Raven's POV~As she entered the next room, Raven felt like she had stepped into a completely different world. The sight that greeted her was astounding — a wall adorned with an array of screens, displaying various data and surveillance feeds."This is the control room," Jansen explained, pointing out their location. The sheer number of screens and the technology surrounding them left Raven in awe. It was clear that this was where the operations were coordinated and monitored. Eager to move forward, Jansen tugged at Raven's arm, urging her to keep up. They navigated through a group of individuals, each focused on their respective tasks. The atmosphere in the room was intense, filled with the hum of activity and a palpable sense of purpose.Finally, Jansen led Raven into another room, separated by glass transparent walls. Through the glass, she could see Achim and Uncle Ben, engrossed in what seemed like a serious discussion or preparation. As Raven stepped into the room, she couldn
~ Reagan's POV~Reagan was well aware that venturing into the outlaw lands was a grave mistake, and he knew he would have to face the consequences eventually. However, his immediate priority was to catch the bloodsucker who he had chased into the outlaw lands and had entered into the sacred temple.Taking a deep breath, Reagan mustered all his inner strength and tapped into his unique ability to turn invisible. The power of invisibility was typically reserved for the High Lord, Lumiére, or other high blood vampires. Luckily, Lumiére was the sole surviving high blood vampire, granting him control over this power. Most vampires were unaware of Reagan's Ability to summon invisibility, as he was a rare half blood. His mother possessed royal blood and belonged to the esteemed high blood lineage, while his father, the Lord of the North, held the status of a middle blood vampire.Swiftly, Reagan moved towards the entrance of the temple, climbing the stairs with remarkable agility. The d
~ Raven’s POV ~Raven dragged her hand through her disheveled hair, releasing a loud sigh. “ Why don’t you go and get coffee… “ uncle Ben suggested to her.She shook her head, coffee was the last thing she needed right now. She needed to get the hell out of the Watchtower. Lumiére was currently in danger and she was doing everything she could not to panic.“ no thanks… I’m okay sir” she replied.He stared at her briefly before nodding as he refocused his eyes back at the monitor in front of him. She wasn’t fooled, he was watching her every move.Raven watched the control screen without understanding anything that was going on. She was currently standing behind uncle Ben who had taken a seat in front of a monitor and was unfortunately very aware of her every move, as if he knew that she wanted to leave. “ What’s your ETA guys?” Uncle Ben asked.Jansen’s voice sounded out of the speakers, “ I recon between thirty to thirty five minutes sir” he replied.They still had a lot of
