Alex drove quickly to the residence of Lucius, the leader of the rival vampire clan, who had invited him to a meeting. Alex felt he had to be fair. If he had accepted the invitation of Damian, the leader of the old vampire clan, then he had to accept Lucius' invitation. Alex did not want to give the impression that he was favouring one of the vampire clans in the mysterious case he was investigating.

Alex arrived at the large gate that guarded the entrance to the rival vampire clan's territory. He pressed the intercom button and said his name. "Alexander Thornfield. I have been invited by His Lordship Lucius to meet him." Alex said in a firm voice.

A moment later, the gate opened and Alex continued his journey towards Lucius' mansion, which was located in the middle of the forest. Alex felt a cold and eerie aura surrounding the place. He also felt the sharp eyes of several vampires standing guard around the house.

Alex parked his car in front of the entrance and got out. He was greete

    Alex felt something strange as he shook hands with Lucius. Suddenly he felt as if he had been thrown back in time. He found himself in a laboratory full of equipment and books. There he saw a young and handsome Lucius, engrossed in research with several other people. They looked serious and enthusiastic, as if they were about to discover something important.But their happiness did not last long. Not long after, the door to the laboratory opened rudely and several people dressed as royal guards entered. They immediately arrested Lucius and his friends for no reason. Lucius and his friends tried to resist, but they were powerless against the strength of the Royal Guards.Alex was horrified to see what happened next. Lucius and his friends were led into a dark and dank room. They were seated on an iron chair covered with wires and needles. Their hands and feet were chained so that they could not move. Then they were made to drink a red liquid that smelt of fish. Somehow this seemed to r

    Alex turned his attention back to the two jigsaw pieces that had been arranged. He looked carefully at the two pieces of the puzzle. Firstly, he had been invited to the vampire meeting, and secondly, to the haunted gallery. After these two events, the next correct sequence was Edward's house.For some reason, Alex was very sure that the next piece of the puzzle was Edward Grey's house. Now Alex visualised Edward Grey's house in his mind. With his eyes still closed, Alex imagined himself in Edward Grey's house.Alex, who has a strong memory, easily visualised every detail of the house. He remembered every detail of Edward Grey's house that he had visited some time ago. The grand rooms, the dark corridors and the antique objects all came to mind.Alex began to walk around, examining every single thing in the house. Although what was happening now was nothing more than a projection in his mind, it seemed very real to Alex.Alex's subconscious brought back images of himself, Victoria and

    Alex had been wandering around his parents' mansion, but he couldn't find Hector a.k.a. Lucius, the mansion's groundsman. "Where is the old man? Why did he disappear when I was looking for him?" Alex shouted as he threw himself onto the sofa. With a deep breath, Alex slowly closed his eyes. But even though his eyes were closed, the nerves in his head were still working. Indeed, they were working harder than ever.But while Alex was concentrating on finding another solution when Hector was nowhere to be found, suddenly..."Do you need my help?" Victoria greeted in a casual voice from a distance.Alex opened his eyes to see Victoria walking towards him with light steps and a sweet smile.For a moment, Alex's eyes felt like he was seeing Keira when that sweet smile graced Victoria's face. But Alex quickly pushed those absurd thoughts away. The woman he was seeing was nothing more than a vampire. Alex had to be careful.With a hostile look, Alex asked Victoria, what was Victoria's intenti

    Alex noticed something while he was holding Victoria's necklace. The vision he saw made his heart skip a beat. Suddenly the question came out of her mouth."Is this necklace yours?" Alex asked hesitantly."Is it? I don't know. It's been with me since I woke up as a vampire." Somehow Victoria didn't mind answering Alex's question."Am I allowed to know who you were before you became a vampire?" Alex asked carefully.Alex felt bad that he had to ask Victoria this. Most vampires Alex knew didn't want their human past brought up. It was too painful for them."Me? I'm sorry I can't tell you who I really am. But I can tell you my name. My name used to be Selena." Victoria replied.Alex was immediately disappointed to hear Victoria mention her name before she became a vampire."Hmm okay. Thank you. You can..." Before Alex could finish her sentence, Liam suddenly phoned him."Liam?" Alex exclaimed as he saw Liam's name pop up on his phone screen.Alex was surprised to see Liam's name on his

    The city centre hospital became the scene of a tense meeting between Alex, Liam, Victoria and the survivors. They gathered in a quiet room on the top floor of the hospital. The victim, a young woman with dishevelled hair and frightened eyes, sat by the side of the bed. "I'm glad you're OK, Victoria." As if ignoring Alex's presence, Liam immediately greeted Victoria and then hugged her with great relief. "Thank you for your concern, Liam. You really are a good man." Victoria said sarcastically as she looked at Alex. Alex who only returned Victoria's look with a lazy roll of his eyeballs. In his heart, Alex said, "If Liam knew Victoria wasn't human, would he still hug Victoria like that? I'm very pessimistic about that." "Victoria dear, I still want to talk to you about many things. But right now the situation is beyond my control. Time will decide everything dear." Liam said, immediately turning around to greet Alex. "A, I really need your help.

    Victoria sat in the car with a blank expression on her face, her heart torn between confusion and fear. Every second that passed felt so confusing. Victoria digested every word the survivor spoke. But the more she thought about every sentence that came out of the woman's mouth, the more Victoria felt that something was wrong."What the hell is going on?" Victoria muttered to herself. "Is there something I don't know? How can what has happened not be what Lucius and I had planned? Lucius never said anything about their vampires attacking women! But why did this woman insist that it was vampires that attacked her?" Victoria's head was spinning.Silently, Alex had been keeping track of every change in Victoria's expression, but he chose to pretend not to care. Meanwhile, Liam seemed to be concentrating on driving. And not long after that..."A, what do you think about everything the survivors said?

    Alex sat in his chair, staring at the computer screen displaying photos of the victims of the serial murders that had rocked the city. These photos were taken from Liam's laptop. Of course, he had taken them without Liam's knowledge. Alex didn't want Liam to know that Alex was investigating the same thing.In the silence of his office, Alex tried to piece together all the information he had gathered from the crime scene, eyewitnesses and forensic reports. Alex, of course, already knew who was responsible for all these terrible events. He had discussed it with Victor back then. But what were the motives of the vampires? How do they choose? Was it just random? Or could it not be exactly as Damian had told him, that this was just like the past?Alex's mind was really being asked to think hard at the moment. Not to mention what he had seen in Lucius' past. Everything was slowly forming into interconnected patterns, including the mystery of the haunted art gallery and the mysterious tunnel

    "I have a very long day today, Victoria. I don't mind waiting a little longer for you." Alex said sarcastically after waiting a while for Victoria to tell her story."If you have so much time, then you should come with me, Detective Alex. I'm not much of a storyteller. But you might be able to understand some of my explanations if we were at the scene of the crime. It's just that to get there, I think we're going to need some help. Finally, after a long time, Victoria spoke."You're not afraid to go with me, are you?" Victoria's words really touched Alex Thornfield's pride. Especially coming from a vampire who could not use his powers at all."I thought you were the one who was afraid to go with me, Miss Victoria." Alex replied, a smile forming at the corner of his lips."Then you must condition your friend first. I'm afraid he'll be confused if he doesn't find both of us in this house.""Okay."Alex and Victoria went into Liam's study. Inside, Liam was busy with all the case files he

After a moment, Victoria gathered her courage and spoke, “Alexander, we appreciate your trust in us, but we need some time to process this. The Book of Eden holds immense power and knowledge, and we’re not sure if we’re ready for it.”Alexander nodded understandingly. “I respect your decision. Take all the time you need. The book has been here for centuries; it can wait a little longer.”Relieved by his response, Victoria and Lily excused themselves from the cave and returned to the party.

    A five-person investigation team was investigating an empty warehouse on the outskirts of the city. They were looking for evidence of a drug syndicate allegedly operating there. However, as they entered the warehouse, they heard the sound of a door slamming shut behind them. They turned around and saw several armed men standing in front of the door, looking at them coldly."We've been waiting for you," one of them said sarcastically. "You won't make it out of here alive."The investigation team immediately grabbed their weapons and took cover behind some boxes and shelves. They tried to shoot back, but their bullets were not enough to deal with the large number of enemies. They couldn't call for help either, as their mobile phone signals were blocked by jamming devices."How do we get out of here?" one of the team members asked frantically."Relax, we have to find another way out," said the team leader calmly.
