The next day.Clarice woke up feeling lethargic. She didn't have a good sleep last night. Everything she saw inside that illegal harvesting facility turned her stomach upside down. The level of cruelty and brutality damaged her soul. She can’t forget the lifeless body of that young girl inside the drum. No one should suffer the same fate!No one!Then she remembered the other victims cramped in the room. It must be terrifying to be in their shoes.And the only thing that gives her satisfaction is the golden chance to kill those men. The way she kills them is brutal, but if it is the only way to stop them from killing innocent victims in the future, then they have to die.They are monsters, parasites that need to be completely annihilated from society so that the majority of citizens can live a safe and peaceful life.After everything that happened last night, she finally reached a decision. She is ready to become Demetria’s successor in order to regain her freedom and become powerful.
When the two women arrived at the sacred mountain, they placed the take-out food in the kitchen and then proceeded upstairs to the 3rd floor in Demetria’s forbidden place.“Are you ready for the next step?” Demetria asked.Clarice was scanning the room. The 3rd floor has its own living room and several other rooms.“When I’m gone, you are going to inherit this floor as well,” Demetria said casually.“Okay,” Clarice replied. “What is inside those rooms?” she asked, pointing to the closed doors.Demetria responded, “Each room has its function. I’ll explain them later, but the important thing is, you have to pass the test first. Let's see if the core will accept your blood...”Clarice gave Demetria a terrified look. “Does it hurt? What’s going to happen to me during blood testing?” she asked worriedly.Demetria smiled. “Don’t be afraid, dear. I will just make a tiny cut on your finger and let the core sip your blood. Let's see if it accepts your blood offering,” she explained.“And what
The core suddenly flashed a bright red light, indicating it liked Clarice’s blood.Demetria smiled broadly, pleased with the result. She decided to wake Clarice up so she could see the positive results with her own eyes. She placed her hand on Clarice’s head.Clarice opened her eyes and blinked several times. She looked at Demetria and asked, “Is it over? Did I pass the test?” she asked anxiously.“Yes, you passed the test with flying colors! See the core, it is currently flashing a red light!” Demetria answered jubilantly.Clarice looked up at the diamond and saw the flashing of red lights. Her heart rejoiced. Tears of happiness filled her eyes. “Thank you so much!” she said, crying silently. Her homecoming is getting closer now that she has passed the test. She will do anything to master her training quickly. She can’t wait to go home.The thought of going home filled her mind with renewed energy and enthusiasm.She got down from the table and looked at Demetria. “What’s next? I wan
The following day, Clarice woke up to a bright new day. The sun was already up in the sky, shining brightly.She did some stretches before getting out of bed.Today, she looks forward to knowing what Demetria’s next revelation is. She is like a student looking forward to learning something new every day.She noticed that Demetria hadn’t entered her room last night, so the transformation might take place tonight.She got up from bed and entered the bathroom to do some washing. A few minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom door and went outside to start her day. She went straight to the kitchen and prepared a simple breakfast of waffles and hot coffee.She was munching on her food when she heard Demetria’s footsteps coming into the kitchen.She looked over her shoulder. “Good morning,” she greeted her teacher cheerily.“Morning, dear,” Demetria replied, sitting on the chair, facing her trainee. “How are you today?” she asked.“I’m fine, better than yesterday,” Clarice responded, tak
After a few moments of climbing the stairs, the women reached the second floor.“Are we going to open the ten rooms one by one? You don’t even have the keys with you?” Clarice asked, looking at her companion’s hands.Demetria smiled. “Silly girl, no need to use the key. As if you don’t know me.”“Ah, okay. I got it.” Clarice giggled.Demetria waved her hand and a mist-like door appeared on the wall. “This is the way a guardian enters the room. No need to use the door. Besides, the doors here are sealed tight, so it won’t open up with a single key. Nor can it be opened with anything heavy or blunt objects. The only way to enter the closed door is to make an invisible door through the wall and only people with supernatural powers like me can do it.”Clarice murmured. “Ah, okay, I got it.”“Let’s enter the room.” Demetria stepped into the recently opened door.Clarice followed Demetria inside. What she saw inside the bare room shocked her. She expected an old casket in the middle of the
Clarice stayed in her room the whole morning. When she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, Demetria was nowhere in sight. She spent the rest of her afternoon reading a book.In the evening, she had just finished dinner and was relaxing in the living room when Demetria arrived.“Evening, dear. How's your day?” she asked.“Fine,” Clarice replied. “Where have you been?”“Got some important things to take care of at the vampire association headquarters. I’m retiring soon, so I need to iron things out before I disappear," Demetria answered.“Can we proceed with my transformation tonight if you are not busy?” Clarice requested with urgency in her voice.“Sure!” Demetria grinned. “You refused my offer before, but now you are eager for the transformation to happen. I love your willingness to upgrade yourself,” she commented cheerily.Clarice smiled. “I want to go home. I'm afraid that if I took so long to go home they might forget about me. We should hurry up with the transformation, trainin
Demetria gently pushed Clarice’s head away from her index finger. “That’s enough for your first taste of blood, dear.”“But it’s not enough! Your blood tastes like honey, so sweet. I want more!” Clarice protested, blood trickling down her lips.Demetria shook her head firmly. “That’s all for now. You will start vomiting if you drink too much on your first blood feed. Allow your body to get used to the taste of blood first, and you can drink more later.”“Fine!” Clarice grumbled, upset.“All you need to do is rest. You’ve been sleeping for three days, and you only woke up today,” Demetria said, standing up.“Whaaaat?” Clarice exclaimed, shocked. She glanced at the window. It's daytime. “Three days? Are you sure?” she asked, incredulously.“Yup!” Demetria responds. “I’m surprised to discover that, during the three days of your transformation, your fangs have not shown yet. But I’m still relieved because you crave blood, which means you now have a vampire essence in you. You are a vampire
"So if you are ready, let's start the process now," Demetria said."Alright, let's do it!" Clarice replied excitedly."Let's go somewhere first. I'll show you something." Demetria waved her hand in the air.A few minutes later, the women found themselves in an empty room next to Demetria's room.Demetria approached the wall and opened a secret drawer that only appeared when she waved her hand.Clarice looked at the three oval-shaped objects inside a wooden box, which looked like yummy chocolates. "What is that?""Grandpa Mortaz made this to be consumed by the next guardian. These oval-shaped objects can give you unlimited powers such as teleportation, making illusions, superhuman strength, the ability to hover in the air, freeze people and other living things, create objects in your mind, turn yourself invisible and many more. You have to ingest these objects one after another," Demetria explained."Wow!" Clarice stared at the brown objects in awe. "They look like hard objects. Are th
Clarice sits on the edge of her son's bed, pondering what she's going to do next.Should she just wait here for her husband and son to come home or teleport there now to Grandpa Eliezer's farm?Ah, it's much better to go there now and see everybody!She initiated the teleportation process in her mind and disappeared from her son's room in the blink of an eye.Meanwhile, Viviana has just finished informing her partners in crime that Clarice is very much alive. She left the master bedroom and searched for Clarice, but she couldn't find her in Caden's room.Where is she?She went to the staircase and looked down below in the living room. Clarice was not there either."Where is Charice?" she asked the maid who climbed the stairs, bringing fresh laundry to the second floor."I didn't see Luna Charice, Madam. I thought she was now resting in the master's bedroom?" the maid asked, confused.Viviana glared at the maid. "Don't call her Luna! I'm the real Luna and the wife of Alpha Callum!""Co
The following day, after breakfast, Clarice was having a conversation with Demetria in the living room.Clarice said, "I would like to ask for your permission.""What for?" Demetria asked."I want to go home today to visit my family. I have this sudden urge to see them," Clarice replied."Sure no problem. Are you going to reveal everything to them today?" Demetria asked."Yeah, hopefully so. It all depends on the situation though," Clarice replied. "I may spend the night there. I will see you tomorrow," she said."OK. But what if your husband insists on coming here because he is angry and wants to have a fight with me? What will you do?" Demetria asked."It would never happen," Clarice assured her."He might get angry that I imprisoned you in the basement and turn you into a vampire. Sometimes men are like that. They easily get angry about a lot of things without getting to the bottom of everything," Demetria explains.Clarice sighed. "I know. I will explain everything properly to my
Magnus smiled and broke the awkward silence. “We were elated to finally meet the Supreme Punisher. Rest assured that we will give our very best to our jobs, and we will not abuse our power and position,” he assured her quickly.“Thank you, Magnus. I’m glad to meet you all. Together we will work hand in hand to preserve peace and unity for the welfare of all peace-loving creatures on this planet,” Clarice responded, her words laced with wisdom.“Yeah. Peace for all," Magnus agreed. "This moment calls for a celebration,” he added cheerily, clapping his hands, his gaze glued on the masked woman who deeply aroused his curiosity.The door opened. Women, wearing black attire, arrived, holding silver trays in their hands. The women put the wine glass filled with red liquid on the table. After finishing the task, the women left the room quietly.“Everyone, let’s drink this high-quality blood taken from teenage human boys and girls,” Magnus said, picking up his glass, and raising it. The other
The following day, the women are well rested, having breakfast in the kitchen, discussing their planned activity in the evening.“So, tonight, I finally get to meet Magnus and the staff?” Clarice asked, while eating apples.“Yeah. Unless something comes up again,” Demetria jokes.“I’m sure nothing will happen tonight, am I right?” Clarice asked.Demetria observed her student’s face. “Why? Are you scared of meeting other vampires?"“Yeah, honestly, I’m feeling anxious right now. I don’t know why,” Clarice said, dropping another slice of apple into her mouth.“You have killed humans before. I thought you had already been toughened by such an experience. And don't forget, you are more powerful than any vampire alive today, so no need to feel anxious,” Demetria said.“Humans have no power, but vampires are a different breed, and I’m not really used to fighting and dealing with difficult problems yet. That is why I’m a bit apprehensive that Magnus and the others will see through my facade,
If they are the police authorities, then she will allow them to pass. If they are one of the enemies, then she will freeze them until the police arrive.When Clarice was already hovering above the speedboats and coast guard vessels, she knew Martha’s team had finally arrived. She saw her, the only female among the men. Martha was looking despondent and anxious. She's probably worried about her missing niece.While she was staring at Martha, she was wondering if she would work with her to help her and her team in chasing the bad guys once Demetria leaves. She realized that human cops are too few compared to the millions of people they have to watch.A cop's job is to protect people, preserve peace and order in society and arrest bad people. Just their numbers are not enough to do the job. That is why Demetria's contribution is valuable to the police force.Now, she is wondering if she will continue Demetria’s legacy, helping police locate the most notorious and baddest villains hiding
Demetria smirked. “Relax, boys. No need to bring out the spray. We will come with you to the basement to attend the party. I hope it’s fun,” she said calmly.The men looked at each other in amusement.“You know what? You are enthusiastic and brave. I like your attitude, saving us the hassle of forcing you to come,” Dave said, grinning wickedly.Demetria shrugged. “We’re already here. There is nothing we can do but move forward. We have come this far. I’m hoping the party is enjoyable so we don’t regret our actions,” she said, pretending she’s not aware of what’s going to happen next.Clarice cleared her throat. “Guys, I just want to ask this. After the party, can we still leave this island alive?” she asked innocently.The men looked at each other and laughed maniacally, finding the question silly. The men are now openly displaying the evil side they were trying to hide at the start of their meeting.“That depends,” Oscar replied cryptically.Demetria stood up. “Can we leave Rachel he
"We will only stay here for a few hours, trying to find clues. If we can't find anything worth pursuing then we will leave and try another establishment," Demetria finally said."I agree with that," Clarice responded with a nod.After one hour of waiting, the women finally entered the club. The club was crowded and the women didn't like the chaotic atmosphere inside the club."I hate clubs like this. So crowded, so noisy and people are everywhere, suffocating me. The music is too loud. I think my eardrums will explode.'' Clarice groaned in dismay."Me too," Demetria agreed. "Let's wander around and find clues," she added.The women ordered drinks, danced on the dancefloor and socialized with others, pretending they enjoyed the crowd and the music but their eyes were always on the lookout for anything and anyone suspicious.The evening was getting deeper, nothing had happened, frustrating the girls.Surprisingly, no one attempted to flirt with the women or tried to invite them to leave
Five months later.Clarice had a serious conversation with Demetria in the living room early in the morning."Dear, tell me. Are you ready now to be left alone on your own?" Demetria asked."Why?" Clarice's brows furrowed, feeling apprehensive."You are doing well in your training. It's about time I disappeared. I will leave next month. But before I left, I promised Martha I would help her and her team. They are currently facing difficulties locating the leaders of the illegal underground syndicates terrorizing the city. I will help them before I disappear," Demetria said calmly.Clarice felt sad. She was so used to having Demetria by her side that she felt lonely once her mentor leave."OK. I understand. I will accompany you on your missions. It's now time to put my training into action," she said excitedly."Good. Let's do it together then," Demetria smiled. "But before that let's discuss the Midnight Wanderers Vampire Association. Because tonight I plan to bring you to headquarters
“Are you shocked to see yourself inside the glass coffin? You look like twins!” Demetria said, smiling in amusement.Clarice couldn't believe she had finally met her doppelganger, but unfortunately, she was lying inside the coffin. "I was shocked indeed! This is unbelievable!” She admitted, astounded.Demetria said, “Are you curious what she has done to deserve this?”"Yes please. Tell me,” Clarice replied with intense curiosity flashing in her eyes.Demetria begins her narration. “Number 3 loves studying medicine and plans to become a chemist. But she created a deadly virus and tested it on a small human village, wiping out the entire population. No one survives."“That’s horrible! What kind of virus?” Clarice asked, shocked.“No one really knows what kind of virus it is, but according to the elders' investigations, it was airborne. She released the virus in the air during the daytime and this lady refused to reveal what kind of virus she had made in her home laboratory. She hid her
