Bad Blood

Chapter 3:The map

Bryce raised the bloody steak from the ugly faced vampire.The vampire's face was stuck in a surprised expression.
"This might come in handy."Bryce said, pocketing the wooden weapon in his now bloody pocket.
Jason just stood there, looking amazed that the vampire was real, he even went up to touch its fangs to see if they were hard and not just plastic glue-ons.
"Woah!"He said touching the tusk- like fangs, backing away quickly off the vampire.
"That's real!"Jason said.
"Yes it i-"
The vampire rose from the ground slowly, coming for them.Hovering closer and closer.
The room filled with screams from the vampire's mouth.What is it doing?Bryce thought.His mind racing to find an explanation.
Suddenly, a light bulb flashed in his brain, he was coming back to life painfully!Reincarnating!
The vampire's chest faced toward his blood stained in the brown carpet.
Suddenly, drops of blood started to form from carpet, floating towards the vampire's heart location.
Jason and Bryce both were fascinated to see this, to fascinating to look away.
Soon all of the blood from the carpet was gone, gone back to the blood's owner, a bloody man.
Bryce suddenly noticed something in his black hoodie pocket, a piece of parchment?
Bryce quickly swiped out the dagger-like steak, aimed at the head of the bloody beast, and threw it.
Once again, right before the steak hit him for the second time, he shot a surprised expression, as if that was supposed to help him.His eyes dilated on the wooden dagger.
The steak stopped in midair.The vampire wasn't surprised that Bryce was trying to get to the piece of parchment in his hoodie pocket.
He pulled it put of his pocket and unrolled it and threw it down.
"Please help me!"The vampire pleaded and begged.
"Please!The Overlord it overruling my body, turned me into this- this hideous creature!"
The vampire threw the parchment onto the ground.
"Please!Take it!"Free our souls!"
Bryce slowly bent down toward the ground and creeped towards to parchment.But before he crept halfway to the piece of parchment, the vampire ran toward the nearest window and threw himself out of it, head first.
Soon, a few seconds later, they heard a splattering noise.Bryce picked up the parchment and ran towards the window the creature jumped out of.What he saw was a nasty- looking sight.
The vampire had scratches and deep cuts, but that was not the most disgusting thing, his head was ripped off, beside the bushes.
Jason ran toward the window, but didn't even make it halfway before he felt squeamish and nauseous.Bruce knew he would feel this way, he did not like to see this kind of stuff, one time in anatomy class, when they were dissecting a frog, he threw up his eggs and bacon that he ate for breakfast.
Bryce finally looked away from the window, looking a little squeamish himself.
He opened the parchment to find a handwritten map, with houses and trees and even landmarks close by here.
On the side of the map, there was what this map was, Bryce read in his head
This map had been handed down through the countless ages, this magical map is for trusty adventurers who look to free the souls of the Overlord.You shall free the souls or your life and your world will be sucked of all life and humans.Don't fall into the trap of the vampire's curse, Amen.
Bryce rolled the map up quickly, before saying,"Jason!We have to free souls."
"For what?"
"Or vampires will abduct our planet."He said,"We have a curse on us, that's why that vampire followed me and my dad, where is he?"
