You can bite me

You can bite me part 29

I quietly unlocked the door to our cabin, and walked in. Sitting down I fell back to sleep. A few hours later Lillian woke me up by shaking me.

"Do you hear that?" she asked.

"Hear what?"

"The Shamen Priest are praying to their Holy one and he's starting to answer them," Lillian said.

"What's he saying?" I asked.

Lillian lost the normal smile that alway graced her face. Her facial expressions took on the appearance of the Shamen master as he spoke, "faithful followers bless you for the warning, we await your arrival."

Lillian beautiful face returned to normal.

"Wow that felt weird," she said.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yes, but that was the strongest telephathic message that I've ever received," Lillian said.

"That's good that they know about Count Vondrake," I said.

A day ahead of us Count Vondrakes train slows to a stop just before the village of Tapoo where the Shamen monastery is at. The Count and Edgar had received the same telepathic message, and knew so they left the train. Count Vondrake ordered the half vampire engineer to bring the train into Tapoo.

When the train arrived the Shamen Priest were surprised to find only the engineer. They brought him into the heavliy guarded temple, in front of the Shamen master.

"Why did you bring me here?" the engineer asked.

"You are very fortunate to be here. You may choose life and repent and drink from the silver chalice, or you can choose death and will be beheaded," the Shamen master answered.

The engineer took the silver chalice and drank the blessed water in it. With in moments the engineer regained his pink color and lost his fangs. He was released. The Shamen Priest searched the county side and found everyone except Count Vondrake and Edgar.

It was starting to turn dark when our train pulled into Tapoo.

"We're here," I said.

The twins and Lillian seemed tense.
