*Ice's P.O.V*
I slowly walked over to the fence that held my prize. My fangs were showing and I was starving. I slowly climbed it and as I was sneaking over to the cow, I was caught in a flash of light. My eyes widened and I dashed over to a tree. I climbed the tree and sat, waiting. I watched as the farmer checked the cows and other animals. I could tell he had a small cut that was bleeding and it made me hungry. I shut my eyes and looked away, but the scent still reached me. I turned to look at him and I saw him go back inside. I smiled, my fangs still out, and I jumped down from the tree. I stalked over to the cows and jumped the fence. I ran over to a cow and knocked it over. I pinned it and bit it's neck. I closed it's mouth so it wouldn't make a sound. It tried, but I silenced it. I saw the light come on inside the house. I let go of the dead cow and smiled. Blood dripped off my chin and I licked it off. I looked down at the cow and frowned. I cleaned off the wound and sealed it. 'Good, now it looks like it just died for no reason. Except for the fact that it has no blood in it's body.' I thought to myself. I heard a door open and I took off. I took off towards my base and got there in record time. I looked at my watch and smiled. "Two seconds, yup record time." I whispered. I smiled and ran to my bedroom. I laid down in my bed and waited for the door to open. I pretended to be asleep and I smiled to myself. The door opened and someone shook me awake. I turned over and stared at the person. It was Sky from the Sky Army. I sat up and felt my fangs go back into my gums. I yawned like I really just woke up. "What is it?" I asked and he smiled at me. "It's the cows again. A farmer found one dead a few seconds ago. He said that an animal killed it." I turned to him and shook my head. I stood up and walked to my door. "Why would he say that?" I asked him as we walked to where everyone was waiting in the conference room. "He said he saw something climb a tree while he was checking the cows. He thought it was Jerome, but it wasn't furry so we threw that suggestion out. After he went back inside, he heard one of his cows trying to cry out, but something silenced it. He went outside and he saw the cow dead." Sky told me and I nodded. 'I need to be more careful. I almost got caught tonight.' I thought. We walked into the conference room and I sat at the front of the table. Sky sat beside me and I smiled at everyone. "Alright, Sky told me that a farmer found another cow dead. Did it have marks anywhere to tell how it died?" I asked and Kara nodded. "It's ribs got crushed. I think that might be how it died, but we came across something else. It has no blood in it's body. Not a single drop. We didn't find anything but a few drops on the ground beside it." She said and I made a face like I was thinking. "Alright, this might be one of those old myths, but I think it could be a vampire." I said and Sky stared at me. "A vampire? Those don't exist, Ice." I turned to him. "Are you sure they don't exist? It might be what's causing all this. I searched them up and it said that they can crush ribs, drink so much blood as to not leave a single drop in the animal, and they can seal wounds to make it look like it died of something else. This cow could have been killed by a vampire." I suggested and Kara glanced at me. She was the only one to know what I was. She knew that I didn't need to search that up, because I was a vampire. "If they exist, how come we haven't found one yet?" Sky asked and I shrugged. The door opened and the farmer walked in. He still had the cut and it was still bleeding. I froze when I felt my fangs slowly come out. I glanced towards Kara and she nodded. She quickly stood up and asked the farmer to tell her what happened outside. They left and the blood scent left with them. My fangs retreated and I unfroze myself. Sky gave me a weird look and I shrugged. No one was in there so he started asking me questions. "Why did Kara want to know the whole story and why did she nod at you?" He asked and I sighed. "I guess you deserve to know, but the reason she did that is because of a secret we share. She knows because she caught me in the act. I didn't need to search up vampires because I know so much about them." I told him and he gestured for me to continue. "I know so much about them because I am one. I'm a vampire and it's my fault that those cows died." His eyes widened and I looked at the ground. "Why did Kara take him out of the room though?" He asked and I looked up. "He has a small cut that's bleeding and I can smell it. The smell is strong enough that I can barely stand to have him in the same room as me. I can't have him in here without me almost attacking him. That's also why I froze when he came in." I explained and Sky nodded. "Alright, I'll get his cut taken care of and any other wounds he may have from running here." He said and he walked out of the room. Kara walked back into the room and sat beside me. "You ok?" She asked and I nodded. "I'm fine, just scared that something will happen now that he knows." I told her and she smiled. "Nothing will happen. He's your best friend and best ally. I'm sure everything will be fine." I smiled at her and I heard the door open. I smelt it before I turned my head. I froze and Kara turned to look. She was in shock of what was at the door and I was scared to look. I smelt blood, but it wasn't human blood. It was bacca blood and I didn't want to attack Jerome. Kara shook her head and turned to me. "It's ok. It's not Jerome, but it could be someone close to him." She said and I blinked, showing her that I understood. I was still froze because I didn't want to attack the Bacca. The scent coming off it was almost too much for me to handle. Kara stood up and went over to them. I heard her talk to them and then come back to me. My fangs were coming out and my eyes were turning into slits, like cat eyes. Kara sat beside me again and she smiled. "They want you to heal him. Can you do that without biting him?" She asked and I unfroze for a second. I nodded my head and froze again. They brought him over and set him on the table. I slowly unfroze myself and stood up. I plugged my nose and stopped breathing through my mouth. I closed my eyes and turned my head away. I slowly breathed out of my mouth and the scent came into my mouth. I felt my fangs shrink a bit and I felt my eyes go back to normal. I turned to look at the Bacca and I gasped. He was covered in blood and missing patches of fur. "What happened?" I choked out. One of my guards slowly went over to me. "He was attacked by an unknown animal. We think it may be another Bacca, but we can't be sure. My fangs grew a bit and I took a few steps back. I stared at the Bacca and Kara looked at me with uncertainty. "Are you sure you can do this?" She asked and I nodded. I slowly went back over to the table and looked the Bacca up and down. He was covered with fur, only little bits were missing, and scars. The blood was everywhere and I could barely control myself. I gestured for the guards to leave and they left. I turned to Kara and smiled, my fangs showing. She smiled right back and I forced myself to turn back. My fangs slowly went away and my eyes turned to their natural color. I went from a vampire who could barely control herself to Herobrine's daughter in a few seconds. I scanned the Bacca's body and found that a few ribs were broken and he had a bite mark on his neck. I narrowed my eyes and then gasped at my conclusion. 'But I didn't bite anyone! I should be the only one, unless I have a sister.' I thought as I scanned his body again. I started healing him and it took almost a hour to heal him completely. I gently parted the fur near his bite mark and saw it was like some of mine on the cows. I turned back to the vampire side of me and gently licked it. The Bacca growled at me and I growled right back. "If you want me to heal you then don't growl at me." I whispered in his ear and then went back to gently licking his bite. It tasted like saltine crackers and BBQ chips. It sealed and I pulled back. My bites tasted like chilli and saltine crackers. 'It must be someone close to me to taste like that.' I thought. I smiled at the Bacca and he glared at me. He sat up and continued to glare at me. "What?" I asked and he growled at me. "You're one of them. Why did you agree to heal me?" He asked and I smiled. "I may be one of them, but I'm also the leader of an army. I have someone here like you and I knew that I had to help you. I care for my army and anyone close to them." I said and Kara smiled. I heard the door open and then a gasp. I turned to see Jerome standing in the doorway, frozen and staring at the Bacca on the table. I smiled and the Bacca froze. "Jerome? What are you doing here?" He asked and Jerome shook his head. "Ice healed me after I almost died. I stayed here afterwards because I owed her my life. I became part of the army and I met some people. What are you doing here?" Jerome said as he walked over to us. "I healed him. He was on death's doorstep, like you were so long ago." I explained and Jerome smiled at me. "Thank you, Ice." I nodded at him and turned to the Bacca. "What's your name?" I asked him and he turned to me. "My name is Billy. I was Jerome's leader when he was young." Jerome nodded, smiling. "My dad and him were best friends when they were young. Speaking of, how is my family since I left?" Jerome turned to Billy and I smiled at Kara. I stood up and walked over to her as the two Baccas talked. "Well, then. I guess I healed Jerome's old cheif." I whispered to her and she giggled. "Yeah, I guess you did." She whispered back. I smiled at the two Baccas when I smelt something. It was coming from Jerome and it smelt like saltine crackers and BBQ chips. "Jerome. Come here for a second." I said and Jerome walked over to me. "What?" He asked and I took a deep breath through my nose. "Where did you go today?" I asked and Kara gave me a weird look. "In the forest outside the gates. Why?" He asked and I frowned. "I need you to show me exactly where you went." I told him and he glanced at Kara. "You haven't answered my question. Why do I need to show you?" He asked and I sighed. "You smell of BBQ chips and saltine crackers. The same smell was on Billy's bite mark." I explained and Billy stood up. He came over to us and Kara put her hand on my shoulder. "Isn't that your bite's smell?" She asked and I shook my head. "The saltine crackers, yes. I haven't come across anything like this before, though. I've never even heard of another one around here or anywhere for that fact." I told her and Jerome turned to Billy. "Another what?" He asked and I sighed. "Another vampire. Yes, they're real and yes, I'm a vampire. That's how I healed his bite." I said and Jerome's eyes hardened. "I'll show you where I went. Follow me." He said and we walked out of the room and towards the gate. We got to the forest and I took a deep breath. I could smell the scents and I followed them until I got to a small cabin. I slowly opened the door and stepped inside. The smell was everywhere and so was the smell of death. I took another deep breath and instantly smelled blood, human blood. I found a lightswitch and turned on the lights. I could tell that Jerome was waiting outside in a tree and I smiled at that fact. I looked around the room and saw a bunch of decaying bodies. Some were cows while others were people. I walked over to one body and found that it looked slightly like myself, but was a little different. It was smaller, more like a teen than an adult, it had darker skin, and it didn't have glowing eyes. It had normal eyes and it wasn't decaying at all. I was about to go to a different decaying body when I saw the eyes move. I poked the forehead of the body and the eyes moved again. The whole body slowly sat up and stared at me. "What are you doing in my cabin?" I stared in shock at the person. "You're alive?" I asked and it nodded. "Now answer the question." It said and frowned. "I was searching for a scent from a vampire. It smells like saltine crackers and BBQ chips." I told it and it scratched it's head. "Vampires, hm? What's your name, sweety?" It asked and I shook my head. "My name is Ice. I'm the leader of the Ice Army, a close ally to the Sky Army." I told it and it smiled evilly. "What's your name?" I asked and it's eyes glowed with mischief. "My name is Lazerus and I'm leader of nothing, ally to nothing but death." She said and I shakily nodded my head. "Why are you so interested in vampires, hm?" She asked and I calmed myself down. "Because I am one and my friend got bit by one with that smell. I came to see who bit my friend and why." I told her and she nodded. "You're a vampire, you say. Why don't I see any fangs coming from your gums?" She asked and I smirked. "Because I'm not only a vampire. I'm also Herobrine's daughter and I can hide my fangs. Do you know any other vampires around here?" I asked her as I felt my fangs come out. She smiled with glee once she saw them. "Oh, my! A vampire who is Herobrine's daughter! To answer your question, no I don't know any vampires in these parts. They all died once the cold came down from the north. It's either that or when the kingdom's guards come and kill them and the witches. Say, do you know any witches?" She asked as she went over to a closet door. "No, I've never met any witches and I don't want to. I heard they'll kill any vampires that they see." I told her and she nodded. "They will. They almost killed my sister. She was a vampire since she was ten and she went into the wrong forest. She came runnin' out of there like she was being chased by wolves. She made it safely back to our house but she got caught the next week. Haven't seen her since." My eyes widened after she said that. She turned to me and her eyes had confusion in them. "What?" She asked and I smiled. "I think you just found your sister." I said and she gasped. "Athena? Why did you change your name?" She walked over to me and I was still smiling. "I didn't. I found our real parents. We were adopted and I found out that our father is Herobrine. Why I went missing that week was because I left. They told me that we were adopted and that our father was a king. I later found out that dad is the nether king A.K.A the king of mobs. My real name is Ice and your real name is Maddy." I told her and she gasped again. I felt something go in my back and I gasped. My sister's hands were in front of me and when I rolled my head back, I found someone behind me. I started getting dizzy and the last conscious thing I did was scream Jerome's name.

I will be making a part 2 to this, but it won't be coming out soon. I'm losing my IPad because it's my schools IPad and they're taking it back. I won't have it for the summer but when school starts back up, I'll be getting a surface tablet. That will help me with my stories a lot. In the summer, I will be using my computer and my phone, sadly. Anyways, I will be updating in the summer without my IPad. Love you all, take care. ~Ice
