Chapter 35: Secrets of the Demonfire
Tyler and Slacovich caught up with Ara who's still fighting against Stacy. She's totally outnumbered and cornered. Tyler's about to jump in but Slacovich stops him.
"She needs help, let me assist her!"
"No, just watch. You'll be amazed on how Ara's battle instinct works."
"She's cornered let me help!"
"Trust her judgement. She may be cornered and outnumbered but she's far superior than those lowly creatures. See for yourself." Ara presses her back on the wall waiting for the vampires to step even closer. She's slowly reaching for short sword made out of pure silver and use it against the enemies. She ran out of silver bullets while shooting on Stacy's minions that approaches her when she was chasing her. One vampire takes the first call and launches towards her. She unsheath her short sword and swings it directly on the attacker. The others follows and attacks her all at once. She swings her sword as she spins hitting every vampire circling her. She gives the final strike to the remaining vampire plunging her sword to its heart. Stacy's left stunned on the ground as Ara walks towards her. But to Ara's surprise a tranquilizer dart hits her shoulder paralyzing her to the ground. Tyler and Slacovich immediately rushes to her side and removes the dart. They retreat for the meantime to secure Ara's safety. Little do they know that the dart itself has a little secret. The moment it hits Ara it extracts blood from her. When Stacy couldn't see them anymore she picks it up and secures it inside her little pouch. She went back to their headquarters bringing the sample with her. At the mansion, they all gathered in Ara's room as Carolina checks on her condition.
"Don't worry guys it's not fatal. She's just put into sleep. Good thing your in the area. We won't know what happens if she's left alone."
"That's good to hear. Then let's give her time to rest. As for us we should also do the same." All agreed to it but Tyler decided to spend the rest of the night in Ara's room. They left him in there and heads towards their rooms.
Meantime, at Volton's headquarters. Stacy proudly hands over the sample of Ara's blood. Volton grins at the sight of it. He gives the sample to Dr. Spencer for her to study it immediately. Dr. Spencer followed his orders and rushes to the laboratory. She then observes the movement of Ara's blood from a microscope. She's amazed on how harmonious the serum and the red blood cells interacting with each other. While recalling the sample from one if their army, the serum tends to devour every presence of red blood cells making the body unstable. She tried mixing Ara's blood into a first generation's blood sample. She can't believe what she's seeing. Ara's blood mixes perfectly well into the other sample making the serum in it calm down and stablizing. Her discovery is a great help to their army.
"My dear! Finally, we can stabilize our army's vampire state."
"That's good news! Tell me how can we do that?"
"The answer lies in the blood of the Demonfire. Their blood is the key for us to stabilize our men's condition."
"What do you mean?"
"Their blood has the ability to harmonise with the red blood cells makimg the owner adjust to everything. The serum in their body still devours the red blood cells but in a very slow manner. Unlike the blood from our army whom the serum devours in an instant."
"Their blood has that kind of ability. I see."
"We need to capture one of them and extract blood as many as possible. I still need to calculate the exact amount of blood that's needed to be transfuse."
"Why do we have to capture one of them, when my blood have the same ability."
"I totally forgot about it. I'm sorry Mr. Hellgazer."
"No need to be sorry my love, you've done a great job so far. All we need now is to test it."
"I still need to know the exact amount needed to be able to stabilize ones condition."
"The key has been around us since the beginning. We just lack some knowledge about it. If the Demonfire can do such thing, then I can as well."
"You're very right my dear. When do you want to test it out?"
"Right now, but I've got a better idea. Rather than manually extracting my blood why not let a vampire suck it out from me."
"You mean letting them satisfy their thirst from your blood?"
"Exactly, but I need to refill myself as well. Capture as many preys as you can. It's gonna be a feast for me." His men yeads out immediately to capture humans who'll serve as blood bank for Volton.
"My dear, who's gonna have the honor to take the first bite?" Dr. Spencer sits on his lap caressing his cheek.
"Stacy come over here."
"Yes Mr. Hellgazer."
"You've brought the sample so you have the first taste of it." Volton cuts his wrist making it bleed so much. Stacy's a bit hesitant but an order is an order. She first licks the blood flowing out of Volton's wrist. After giving a taste of it she can't seem to hold back. She buries her fangs into his wrist and hungrily sucks out his blood. Dr. Spencer intends to stop her but Volton stops her from interfering. Stacy satisfyingly retracts her fangs and not a drop wasted. Her body thay had been disfigured since the first fight with Ara now turns back to how it was before. Like the Demonfire's pale skin, she also shares the same abilities now.
"How do you feel?" Volton sits straight as his cut slowly heals up. He felt drained but doesn't wanna show it.
"Mr. Hellgazer, I feel fantastic. I feel stronger. This feeling is amazing."
"Then let me see you fly." Stacy really wants to fly the moment she saw Ara spread her wings. She steps back a bit and can feel something's going out from her back. Little by little she spread her wings. It's as gorgeous as a bat's wings. She fly freely outside, flapping her wings excitedly. She then returns back after experiencing it the first time.
"Mr. Hellgazer with my stable condition as a vampire, I won't let the Demonfire gets on your way." Her eyes turns red for a sec and changes back to normal. She can fully control her abilites.
"We now know their secret. I've been wondering how they've end up being that strong. Stacy from now on you'll be the captain of the new army I'm making."
"That's a great honor for me Mr. Hellgazer sir. So sad that Timothy won't be able to experience this power." She clenches her fists in anger.
"It's up to you now to avenge him. We will rise up and reign as we conquer the world." Volton's men arrives with a bunch of victims at hand. He then satisfies himself with their blood and rests for a bit before letting another one satisfy their thirst with his blood.
The Demonfire's morning starts by watching the news. There are families that weeps for their lost and the policemen that Carolina and Diego saved got interviewed. They stated everything that happened to them and the existence of vampire hunters. The hunters brings assurance of the people's safety but even so, people should get back home before sundown. Li contacted the land owner where the Sun University's been constructed. She managed to get the land title under the Demonfire Group of Companies name and the new ownership of the school. They all went to the University to check on Carl and Hilda. They park their cars in front of the University gate and steps out of it. The students can't believe their eyes the moment the six if them steps out. Others snaps photos if them posting it to their social medias. Carl and Hilda that time just arrived as they see the commotion at the school gate.
"Is that President Hellgazer at the gates?" Hilda almost whispers to herself.
"Who?"
"Look over there." Hilda points over to Slacovich's direction.
"What are they doing here?"
"Let's greet them to figure it out." Both of them walks towards Slacovich's direction. As Li sees them coming their way she waves at them with a smile. The students murmured and also looks at whom Li's waving to.
"Seems like we're here too early." Tyler waves at them too.
"President Demonfire, Miss Ara, Mr. Tyler what are you guys doing here in our university?" Hilda waves back at them smiling widely.
"I just thought last night was a nightmare but it's true after all." Carl scratches his forehead.
"We're here to meet up with the dean. The University is under the ownership of Demonfire Group of Companies. The issue has been solved and you will no longer fear of the shutdown. Aside from that, we're also here to get an answer from you about what we've discussed last night. Please follow us, I already informed your professors to permit the both of you to skip classes for today." Slacovich walks aheads first followed by the others. Carl and Hilda followed them as per Slacovich's instruction. Being a vampire hunter is a great responsibility but for the sake of their loved ones they'll risk it. As they walk into a corner of the school building where no one can see them. Slacovich and the others stops walking and faces the two of them. Without saying anything they change into vampires. Hilda steps back startled while Carl at first gets terrified but in the end he calms himself down.
"Come on guys, if you're bad vampire you should have sucked up our blood last night. But instead you saved us. Vampires fights against vampires to save us humans, now it's time for a human to save his kind. Yes, I'm terrified but I trust all of you."
"Wait a minute, why is she not changing?" Hilda points out Carolina.
"Oh me? I'm sorry but I'm not a vampire. I'm a pure fleshed human being." Carolina giggles.
"That's a relief, if you're able to stick around with them comfortably that means they're good people." Hilda smiles in relief.
"What do you know little girl? I might suck up your bloo---" Slacovich pulls Diego away from Hilda.
"Stop scaring her. You're the one who should be scared." Slacovich points Carolina who's raising an eyebrow while frowning.
"He's into little girls, that makes sense now." Carolina turns her back pouting as Diego follows her.
"Revealing who you all are, does this mean all of you trust the both of us?"
"You're a wise man Carl. One trait a hunter should possess." Carl and Hilda followed them to the dean's office. There the issue about the shutdown has been solve and their next move is to establish an underground headquarters for the hunters to gather.
