My Vampire System 1 - 1000

Chapter 1121 - 1140

Chapter 1121 – Lumped together

For a long time, the tension hadn't been quite the same in a particular shelter. A shelter that looked unusual compared to others, for the houses, people and shops lived high above the trees. However, if one was to look at all the people walking around, none of them had a smile on their face.

Instead, their faces showed great concern. If they had the choice, they would try their best to stay inside in their homes. At the moment, many people were outside, and this was due to a meeting that was to take place in one of the larger houses. ​​

It was the highest house in the Shelter and also the largest. Using the bridges that would take them from one platform to the other, a group of people were now heading their way there. Inside the place, the leader of everyone, who was named Ruby, stood on a small raised wooden platform.

She had dark coloured skin and curly hair that was braided down to her waist. She stood there holding a spear with the head of it stuck into the ground. As the room was getting filled, mumbling between everyone started already.

"What are they even doing here? Do we know yet?"

"I can't sleep well at night knowing that they are just right outside our doors."

"But they don't seem to be attacking us. Has there been some type of deal that has been set up? And they have been here a while without saying much at all."

"And where is Arthur, wasn't he meant to protect us from things like this?"

"Silence!" Ruby shouted, her voice carrying loud over everyone. After hearing that name, she immediately wanted to end the discussion there.

"I know everyone is scared, worried and has a lot of questions on their mind. The worry has only been building up, it feels like we can't catch a break, and everyone who we have ever trusted has abandoned us."

As soon as Ruby started to speak, the rest immediately shut up. The way Ruby spoke, she took control of the room in an instant with her voice.

"The Dalki, I don't really know why they are here. The human race has been at war with them for so long, we have learnt that they are the enemy, but we have seen what they have done so far." Ruby continued. "The beasts that regularly attack us, they have for some reason defended us. They have stayed near our borders of the Shelter but haven't harmed a single one of us."

Saying all this, Ruby had to pause, and her fist could be seen tensing over the spear.

"But they are the enemy. How many of us have known someone that lost their lives in the first war. I know the army abandoned us, but we wouldn't be in this place if they never attacked us!" A man shouted and argued, and it looked like a lot of them agreed.

"I know!' Ruby shouted again, silencing them all once more. "But tell me, do you all trust Arthur? He told us that no matter what, they will protect us from whatever is to come whatever the outcome of the war..."

"As long as the Dalki do not harm us, then I think that we should leave them-"Just as she was about to finish her sentence, the whole room started to shake, and a loud bang was heard from the outside.

Immediately they all grabbed their spears and started to rush outside the world.

"I knew that the Dalki would eventually attack. We have to defend ourselves at all costs."

"It might just be a beast. They have been coming more often lately." Another one said.

Ruby knew that this wasn't an attack from the beast nor the Dalki. It sounded more like someone had fired a type of laser of some sort. When they finally went outside, they could see the chaos that was unfolding.
