Vampire World (VAMPIRE WORLD #1)

Part 25 Trying to Make Sense of it All

Chapter 24: Trying to Make Sense of it all

           

Recalling all the vampires who had been spying on me recently, the first thing I did after standing up was look around for anyone suspicious. It seemed all clear.

            Surprisingly, all the cuts and bruises I'd collected during the insect attack were now gone. I felt fine physically, although very confused. Should I listen to Martin and stop following my mysterious stranger's instructions? Or was my messenger telling the truth? Damn, I simply didn’t know.

            Just as I was about to go inside the house, I spotted a new letter lying on the grass. I opened it and read.

            'Janice, I want to apologize to you for what happened, and I’m very glad you’re alive. I wasn’t aware that the security cameras in the organization’s tunnels were active. Please understand that my intentions are not to harm you, but to help you discover the truth about your life. And remember, there is nothing greater than the truth, even if you have to endure the trials it takes to reach it. I am thankful that you were rescued, but please understand this. Your rescuers do not want you to know the truth. They want you to be hidden in the darkness of lies and never see the divine light of what’s real. I’m asking you this. Do not listen to them. They want you to stop discovering my secrets. But you must understand that my secrets are your secrets! Please do not underestimate the truth, Janice. It may not seem like much right now. But I promise you, if you are loyal to my cause, good things…make that great things...will come to you.

            Now I can’t promise that you won’t face further danger. But I will try to do everything possible to protect you. If you choose to reach closer to the truth, here is your next task. I know about the one you call Rob. He’s been passionate about you ever since you rejected him. He’s also dangerous, as you already know. And here’s another thing: He just got inducted into the organization that you have learned about. I want you to get a date with Rob ASAP. He can teach you many things about TriFang. I know you’re in love with someone else, but I said date, not relationship. Be very cautious around Rob. Most importantly, ask him about the blood that the organization drinks. It holds a very dark and important secret that applies to you. You need to figure this out. Be very careful and make wise decisions. And please, arm yourself with the stakes that I gave you. I will try my best to help. You must listen to me, Janice. Good luck.'

            I rested my weary body inside my coffin, thinking about my secret watcher and becoming ever more irritated. He'd already damn near got me killed. Now he wanted me to lie to that creep Rob about liking him. The temptation to refuse was powerful. But what if he was telling the truth? What if an important secret about my past really did exist?

            Somehow I fell asleep that night, though it was tough. After just being kidnapped, I was wary of all my surroundings.

            I had the next day off. So did Mr. FreeCut, which gave us both a rare chance to spend time together. Our bond had grown beautifully and I truly loved him.

            “You’re going to really enjoy seeing the capitol building,” he said while serving me yummy and very bloody bacon and eggs. “I want you to learn something about the government of Vampire World.”

            Even as he spoke, I couldn’t stop thinking about the previous night. I wondered how my watcher has managed to put a tracking device on me. I hadn't seen him come into the house, so the whole thing did not make an ounce of sense. I shivered, realizing that he may have been monitoring my every move. Then another intriguing thought occurred: Could one of the masked persons who had rescued me from the forest be my watcher? Hmmmm….
