Chapter 280 - Slight Confussion

"Do you think there are vampires in here?" asked one of the hunters while holding the loaded gun in front of him as he walked.

"That's what the others think, but it is precisely why we are here. I must tell the walls look too high and we might get caught," said another one while he bit on the toothpick that he balanced between his teeth. "It is a prestigious university. Do you think a student or two, who are vampires, have been compelling the others so that they can continue to feed on them?"

"Sounds about right and easy," replied the first hunter. "Let me see what Conner drew for us earlier. This shit is confusing," he said, looking at the page on which the map of the university had been drawn.

"Let me see it," said the second hunter, taking a look at the page and looking around the place. "Didn't he say we need to keep walking until the very end. We are bound to find a dead end and then sneak up from there," and he folded the page before putting it in his pocket.

On the other side of the restricted forest, Joaquin's four vampires appeared, holding their own weapons and keeping them close to them. One of them was Joaquin's brother, Enoch, who had come to lead them as he was much more familiar with the place, finding a way to sneak inside Veteris.

"Sire, will the girl be in here? The academic year is complete and she must have gone on vacation," said one of the vampires who worked for the brothers.

"If the Elder vampires are in here, it means she is here too," said Enoch, his eyes sharply looking around and leading them towards the way to sneak inside the property.

Though Enoch had already come face to face with Julie, because of the centuries of hunger, his mental state had been weak and he had failed to register her face on the day he had escaped from Willow Creek. Not to mention, he didn't know she was a special witch at that time.

"Are the Elder vampires really strong?"ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

"What powers do they have?" came the curious questions, and continued, "You met them—"

"Shut the fuck up and walk. We are not here to admire the abilities of the Elder vampires, you little piece of shit," Enoch glared at the servant.

Enoch turned annoyed by the mention of the Elder vampires. If he was going to meet Donovan today, he was going to make sure to turn things even, thought the vampire in his mind. The previous time, he had to escape because he wasn't at full strength, but it wasn't the same anymore.

As they continued to walk, they heard some sound coming from the other side.

But before the vampires could notice, someone shot at them. It was the hunters, who had caught sight of the vampires, and they glared at them before pulling the trigger non-stop. With the advancement of the weapons over the years and the hunters, who had turned smart, the bullets let out a gas-like mist, making it difficult for the vampires to focus.

"Shit, it is true! There are vampires in this place!" shouted one of the hunters while shooting bullets at the vampires, trying to get closer to them. "Not one, but four of them!"

"Inform the others later! We need to kill them!" shouted back the other hunter, and the gunshots echoed in the forest. Which was on the opposite side of where Luciano and the others were. "We hunters are going to kill you, blood leeches!"

One of the vampires ended up interpreting the hunters words wrong and said, "They have joined their hands with the hunters to use their weapons!"

"Get them!" ordered Enoch, and both the sides started to fire at each other, where the hunters had put the vampires into a disadvantage. Enoch had landed on the wrong side of the property, and when he raised his hand to harm the humans, his ability didn't work. "Why is it not fucking working?!" The witch must have cast some spell!

None of the parties had gotten the chance to get too close to each other, but they were getting close to running out of bullets. One of the hunters successfully managed to shoot the bullet right into the vampire's head, and soon the vampire turned into dust.

"I think we need to go and inform others right away about this!" said the other hunter.

"Let us kill them all!" said the other hunter.ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

"Are you nuts?! There might be more than four vampires, and we'll be overpowered by them. We are here only checking, come now!" said the first one.

They continued to shoot at each before one of them retreated into the woods. Enoch lost another servant of his, and he realized he would need his brother, Joaquin's help if they were going to win this land. Who knew when the Elder vampires would show up.

Luciano, who had heard the gunshots somewhere between his lecture, came to check with his men. But when they arrived at the scene, the Elder found the dust of two dead vampires. There was no one else here.

"Go look if there's anyone there, and get back to your position!" ordered Luciano, and he took a deep sniff from the air. "Vampires and humans. See if we have lost our men, Griffin."

"Yes, Elder Luciano!"

The hunters, on their way, called the old man who had sent them here. When the person picked up the call, one of the hunter said, "Veteris University has vampires. They were guarding the walls."

The man on the other side of the phone was silent before he said, "I see. It is time for us to prepare to attack then."

When Enoch returned with just one man, Joaquin's eyes narrowed, and he calmly asked, "What happened, brother?"

Enoch looked angry, and he said, "My ability, it isn't working. Something must have happened."

The other vampire who had gone along with Enoch, bowed his head deeply, and then informed, "Master, the vampires have joined hands with the hunters!"
