Chapter 115: A Sacrifice
Last Updated:
2020-12-11 20:07:56Flora felt the three sisters push her to the ground. She tried fighting them off, punching and kicking the air, but she lost her balance and brought Nadi with her to the ground. She felt disoriented, but continued to push the three sisters away from her and her daughter. When she saw them gathering above her and Nadi, she decided to cover her daughter with her body.
Flora screamed when she felt a pair of hands lifting her off the ground and she tried to keep Nadi close to her. She swung her arms to the air wildly, not knowing if she would be able to hurt the three sisters. She hit them as hard as she could with her hands until she felt them back away from her.
“This is a feisty one!” said one of the sisters, surprised at how Flora was able to hold them off.
“That thing the little one is wearing though!” warned the second sister.
“Surely, you’re not afraid of that small thing!” said the third sister.

Flora woke up from the sound of flapping wings and realized that they were birds that were nesting inside the cave. She immediately looked beside her and found that Nadi was holding her arm and was still asleep. The fire she had built a few hours ago had not fully extinguished and there were still live embers as well as small tongues of fire rising from the remaining firewood.Flora gently removed Nadi’s arm and looked out of the cave. It was morning and she knew that she needed to get food for Nadi and herself. She decided that she should go to the vegetable patch and pick some of the vegetables and then go fetch some water for them to drink. She intended to get as much food as she could and stay inside the cave with Nadi as much as she could.Knowing that she could not leave her daughter alone in the cave, not after what they had experienced the previous night, she gently tapped Nadi’s arm to wake her up.“Wake up, Nadi,” said Flo

Flora’s scream filled the small shed as Emil took another step closer. She began praying loudly, hoping that Emil would just leave. She found that she and Nadi had reached the back wall of the shed. She immediately held Nadi tightly and tried to cover her daughter with her own body. All of a sudden, Emil froze in his tracks. He shook his head and held his forehead with his hand. When he raised his chin, lift fell on his face and Flora saw that the evil look in his eyes were gone. Flora saw the friendly Emil that she had talked to the last time that she was in the greenhouse.“Emil… I know you recognize us. Please stop what you’re doing and help us,” Flora pleaded.

The three women in white continued to beckon at Flora, calling her name repeatedly. Flora found their gaze irresistible and if not for Nadi’s presence, would have ran out of the cave and into the rain. Nadi remained a constant reminder to Flora that she must stay and protect her daughter.The three sisters continued to call at Flora repeatedly, beckoning at first and luring her away. Then, their voices became thinner and shriller as they mocked Flora by calling her name. Their voices seemed to force their way into Flora’s head, making it almost unbearable.“No!” screamed Flora at the three women in white. “You shall not have us! I know who you are! I’ve seen what you did at the mansion and you cannot lure us away from this cave!” Flora shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice echoing from within the cave and letting it be heard even with the sound of the rain.Her shouts were met with giggles as the three sisters

Flora was horrified, but her instincts as a mother protecting her child from harm instantly kicked in and she flew to Nadi’s side. Without thinking, she used the firewood she held in her hand to hit the arm that was trying to pull her daughter outside the cave. There was a scream of pain and the white arm withdrew. Flora immediately placed herself between the three sisters and her daughter, raising the sanaria branch in the air and threatening to hit any of the three sisters who attempt to step forward.“Aaahh! It hurts!” cried one of the three sisters, holding her arm tightly against her body. Flora saw the patch of skin on her arm scalded as if touched by fire. She realized that it was the same area that was touched by the sanaria branch.“Stay away from that wretched branch she’s holding!” said another sister, pointing to the firewood that Flora held in her hand.“Are you alright, dear sister?” one the women ask

Flora did not know how long she hunched over the fire. She was able to hold back her tears for most of the time since she experienced the horrors of almost losing her daughter. She remembered running from Pablo and then the three sisters before she was helped by Rosa to escape. Then, she thought about Nadi and what would happen to her daughter and herself. She knew that they could not stay in the cave for long and would need to leave island if they were to survive.Flora let her tears flow freely as she realized the hopelessness of their position. Then, she prayed hard that they could survive the night. Perhaps the morning would bring knew hope. Flora wiped her face dry with her dress and resolved to stay awake that night to guard her daughter.“Why are you crying?” said a voice that sounded comforting yet chilling at the same time.Flora looked up and saw a man standing just outside the cave. His skin was smooth and pale while his hair was as dark a

When Dante left, Flora felt a change in the forest. Nocturnal birds resumed their calls and the wind blew much of the mist that had covered the ground and the trees. Dante’s voice remained in Flora’s head and she shivered as she recalled his last words. “You will be offering your child and yourself to me.”Flora also remembered what Dante said about another mother protecting her daughter and telling him the same thing. Could they be Emil’s wife and daughter? Flora tried to take the thought away from her head, but they continued to assail her. Somehow, she could see in her head the image of a woman crying and pleading as her daughter was wrested away from her hands by Dante. Flora could hear the screams of the little girl as she was taken from her mother.As night deepened, Flora felt the exhaustion brought about her mental anguish. The moon had set in the horizon, leaving the forest darker than before. Flora, however, saw the sprinkling of

“We tried to dissuade him from coming here,” said Perlita. “When I didn’t receive any messages from you on your first week, I got extremely worried and we did our best to stop him from coming here. We would have succeeded if not for the yacht that moved quickly over the water.”“We can never outrun that boat with our small motor,” explained Gringo. “We really need to go now.”Gringo looked at his wife and gave her instructions. “Perlita, you will have to go back to the boat. Bring Nadi with you. Tell my brother to get the boat ready while Flora and I will go and find the man.”“Mr. Jon,” said Flora. She then gently nudged Nadi towards Perlita who bent down to hug Flora’s daughter.“Hi, Nadi,” said Perlita and Nadi smiled in reply before hugging her back.“Aunt Perlita…” Nadi murmured.Perlita saw Flora looking at Nadi and knew t

Flora heaved a sigh of relief as she closed the library door behind her. She rested her back on the door and was surprised at what she saw. The whole panel of the bookshelf that hid the passageway was wide open. Flora noticed, however, that only a few pin lights were on and served to illuminate the floor, unlike the last time that she saw it.At almost the same time, Flora felt a loud bang on the library door and heard Pablo’s voice from outside.“I know you’re there, Flora! Come out of the library now!” shouted Pablo as he tried to open the door. He managed to open it just a crack and would have succeeded to open it if not for Flora pushing back.Flora was alarmed and pushed the door back with all her might. Gringo, seeing what was happening, immediately left Jon’s side to likewise push at the door with his back.“You know you can never leave the island. You might as well come out now and surrender to me,”

Vampire of the New World Chapter 169: The Grotto
The water was clear and Lisa had no trouble seeing the cave opening just ahead. Before swimming through the opening, she took a quick look behind her and saw Nestie just behind her. Lisa gave Nestie a quick wave and shot through the opening of the cave with broad strokes of her arms and legs. Lisa swam to the surface and was quickly amazed at what she saw. The sun shining through the opening of the grotto made the water luminous, turning it from emerald to a glowing neon. She looked at her hands from under the water and saw the fine bubbles on her skin turning her hands into silver. She looked up at the ceiling and saw the ripples in the water reflected on the high dome of the grotto, giving the cavern an otherworldly appearance. The stalactites hanging from the ceiling glinted in the green light and looked like numerous fingers reaching for the water below. Nestie’s head bobbed out of the water and he quickly wiped the water from his face with his hands. Lisa watched his friend’s re

The boat glided over the water, leaving ripples in its wake. The boatman jumped aboard and started the engine, steering the boat towards one of the many islets that dotted the sea. Nestie turned his head and looked at the cliff that they had just descended. He swallowed hard before saying to Lisa. “I can’t believe we descended from that,” he said. “Are we going back the same way?” Lisa smiled as she saw the expression on Nestie’s face. Her friend took the front seat on the boat while she sat behind him. “Do you want to?” Lisa asked. “I don’t know if I can make it,” Nestie replied. Then, he added. “Maybe I can, but you will have to pull me up.” Lisa laughed at Nestie and pinched his back. “Ow! What was that for?” asked Nestie, rubbing his back which Lisa had just pinched. “For being so adorable!” Lisa answered. “Look ahead of you and enjoy the scenery. Don’t you think the islets and the rock formations look stunning?” Nestie loo
Vampire of the New World Chapter 167: The Way to the Grotto
Upon alighting from the tricycle, Nestie saw the ocean and the tall cliffs that surrounded a wide beach. They were a short distance from the sandy coast where several boats were docked. Out on the sea were numerous islets that rose from the water like the backs of turtles or upturned boats. Several of the islands were connected to each other like a pearl necklace, the sea between them becoming labyrinthine for boats to navigate through. Fortunately, the islets also served a purpose in protecting the moored boats on the small beach where Lisa and Nestie were standing as well as the inner islets in the archipelago from the strong currents and big waves coming from the open ocean. “Do you like what you’re seeing so far, Nestie?” asked Lisa who had just paid the tricycle driver and stood beside Nestie to admire the scenery. “I’ve seen so many coasts in my life, but this is still breathtaking!” remarked Nestie, drinking in the scene before him. They were on top of a cliff
Vampire of the New World Chapter 166: Planning Their Morning
Lisa woke up from the sound of birds outside the window. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the room flooded with golden light. She stretched her arms and rubbed her eyes before sitting up in bed. It looked like it was going to be a good day, she thought as she looked around the brightly-lit room. Celie was still sleeping soundly so Lisa silently got off her bed and prepared to take her morning shower. It was good that Celie was able to sleep without any incident. Her cousin needed to have a good night’s rest if she were to look great for her birthday party. After taking her shower and putting on her usual comfortable clothes of jeans and a cotton shirt, Lisa noiselessly left the room. She then walked to Nestie’s room and knocked on the door. “Come in, Lisa,” came Nestie’s voice and Lisa twisted the door knob. “How was your sleep last night, Nes?” asked Lisa. Nestie had already changed and was combing his hair. “Very well. Thank you,” replied Nestie.
Vampire of the New World Chapter 165: Lisa's Thoughts
Lisa lay in bed with her blankets to her neck. Celie was right. It was a cold night. Lisa, however, could not figure out why Celie insisted on having the windows open despite the cold. Her cousin’s actions had been a bit erratic and illogical these past days, thought Lisa. She knew that her cousin tended to be unpredictable at times even when they were young. Back then, it could just be attributed to their youth; Lisa, herself, remembered doing some wild things with Celie. However, they were now grown women and very much in control of their actions. Lisa could understand Celie’s predicament of having to live under public scrutiny and always acting as a model figure for her father’s citizens, but Celie’s sudden disappearances and escape from her security detail were quite irresponsible. There was a quick snort coming from Celie’s bed and Celie moved restlessly to one side. Lisa looked at her cousin and wondered where she had gone after her photo shoot at the Home for the Elde
Vampire of the New World Chapter 164: Talk With Celie
“Is that you, Lisa love?” came Celie’s drowsy voice as Lisa entered the guest room. The lights were off and Lisa could only tell from the dark shape over the bed that her cousin was already lying down as if ready to sleep. “Yes, Celie,” said Lisa, looking at her cousin. “It seems too early for you to be sleeping. Would you mind if I turn on the lights?” Lisa switched on the lights and saw that her cousin was in bed with her blankets drawn up to her neck. There was a soft moan from Celie. “Oh, sorry. Is the light too bright?” asked Lisa. “N-no,” came Celie’s reply. “Keep the lights on.” Lisa was about to walk towards her bed when she noticed Celie’s face. Celie’s face was ashen and her lips were pale. “You look pale, Celie. Are you sick?” asked Lisa worriedly. “No. I’m alright, Lisa. Don’t mind me. I just feel tired, that’s all,” came Celie’s reply. “Sorry to hear that,” said Lisa. She nevertheless went towards Celie and
Vampire of the New World Chapter 163: Going Back to the Adobe House
The gates to the Adobe House opened slowly to allow the van to enter the grounds. There were soft knocks on the van’s window that made Lisa look at the person making the sound. She saw a young woman outside the van offering her garlands of sanaria. After a short pause, Lisa decided to lower the window and bought several garlands from the young woman. The young woman beamed, briefly showing her white but misaligned teeth. She thanked Lisa before walking off to find other buyers of her sanaria garlands. The sweet smell of the fresh garlands filled the van as it drove inside the Adobe House grounds. Lisa took a deep breath and was quickly reminded of her time as a young girl in Cardena. She remembered that there used to be plenty of sanaria growing wildly in nearby vacant lots and she and Celie would compete on who could pick the most. The flowers were brought to the kitchen were the kitchen maids would take some of their time to turn them into garlands. Sanaria leaves that did

The rain fell just too heavily and too sudden that Lisa could not tell if she did see what she thought she saw. She remembered seeing banners pinned on the trees outside as they entered the building earlier and knew that she could have imagined those to be something else. There was another flash of lightning followed by thunder and Lisa knew that it could be another one of the freak weather disturbances that she and Nestie had been seeing more frequently lately. “Toto, you have to stay calm,” said the nurse to the old man. She had come to the old man’s assistance when she found him to be distressed. “It’s just the rain. It will be over soon.” Lisa walked over to Nestie who was looking at the nurse as she tried to calm Toto. The two friends wanted to help the old man, but knew that the nurse would be able to do a better job. The nurse turned to Lisa and Nestie and gave them a smile. “He’s always like this during thunderstorms. Crying like a child.” “Ju
Vampire of the New World Chapter 161: About the Devil's Sea
Toto placed his wrinkled hands on top of his notebook. He took off his glasses and looked at his audience around the table. They had all finished lunch and were listening to him as he read from his notebook. "Why did you stop?" said an old lady. "Go on. I want to know what happens next." "Yes, I want to know what happened between you and Clara," asked another bright-eyed old lady. "You had me talking for almost an hour. I think I deserve some breather," said Toto. He coughed, prompting Nestie to grab the pitcher and pour cold water onto Toto’s glass. “Thank you,” said Toto to Nestie after taking a few gulps of water. Lisa was amused. "You mentioned the Devil's Sea. Is that a real place?" Toto gave another cough and set down his glass on the table. "It's real alright. You don't hear a lot of stories about it now, but in those days, there were a lot of boats that went missing in that area." "You mean like the Bermuda triangle?" a
