Call Of The Dark



Drogo and men led the villagers to attack the vampires. "We will wait a little longer because we have to attack the vampires when they are sleeping. Only then will they be most vulnerable," he said. 

The villagers looked at him in awe as they all gathered around him. 

"This is a big mistake," one of the Elders in the village pointed out again. "The vampires are very powerful. The king is going to send his army here when he comes to know that we have attacked his princes." 

Drogo growled. "The king is not going to send his army so far north! All he was interested in was to collect taxes. Once we attack, I am sure that his sons will flee." After shutting the Elder up, he instructed, "Do not go inside the building where the vampires are. They will drag you in their darkness and kill you. Attack only from the outside." 

As soon as the sun had risen higher, Drogo ordered them to march to the buildings where the vampires were. The vampires were taken by surprise. Only a few remained at guard and by the time they alarmed others, the villagers had attacked them. They all remained inside as the villagers attacked them from all the sides. 

The room which had most of their weapons was situated in the front. The guards rushed to those rooms and tried to bring as much as they could, but they had to cross an open courtyard to reach it. The moment they would go there, the villagers would shoot arrows or fire balls at them. 

"What the hell is going on?" Jade growled as he got up, rubbing his eyes. The girl who he had brought from the village to sleep with at night was still sleeping. He shook her. "Go out and see what is happening." The girl jumped out of the bed, scared of him. She wore her clothes quickly and rushed out. To her horror, the villagers had attacked. 

When she returned, she was looking pale like a ghost. "The villagers have attacked us, m'lord!" she said in a voice filled with fear. 

Jade removed his comforter. "What?" he wore his clothes and traced to his brother's room. Jasper was already outside his room. "Jasper!" he shouted and rushed out. He saw that there was complete mayhem. The guards were yelling and groaning and were running helter-skelter because they didn't know what to do. Some of them returned the attack of the villagers with whatever weapons they had, while some of them ducked in to protect themselves. 

Jasper was in the hall that was right where the courtyard was. When Jade came to him, he said, "You have to trace to that weapon's room and get as many bows and arrows as possible! We are going to take turns."

As Jade nodded, a guard was hit by an arrow right on his neck. He fell down groaning, holding the arrow. Others came to pull the arrow out, but he refused to let them touch him because once the arrow was pulled out, the blood from his jugular would sprout like a fountain. So they left him like that, hoping that he would survive, but it took very less time for him to die. 

Jade growled in frustration as his fangs slipped out. With a roar he traced to the weapons room and started picking up as many bows, arrows, balls dipped in oil and spears. He traced back to the main hall and threw them there. The guards picked them like vultures on food. By that time Jasper traced to the weapons room and picked up the weapons. When he traced back, he saw that the guards had already started fighting the villagers. 

Jade and Jasper traced twice and came back with loads of weapons. The guards had enough and so they all faced the villagers as much as they could. While many vampires fell down, there were casualties amongst the villagers as well. 

"You said that they would be taken by surprise!" The Head of the village snarled as he threw his spear at the vampire who popped his face from the window. In retaliation fireballs were thrown at them. "They are able to attack us. How is that possible? Did you trick us?" he snapped. 

Drogo clenched his teeth. He shot an arrow at a glass window behind which he was sure were the guards. The glass shattered and he heard blood curdling shrieks from the other side. "No, why will I trick you?" He whipped his head to the front room. "That's where they have their weaponry. I assume that the princes are tracing and getting the weapons to face us." The Head narrowed his eyes. He left Drogo to fight as he retreated. 

Jade was happy that so many weapons had come. "Should we get more?" he asked Jasper who had pulled an injured vampire away from the door. 

"There are many villagers. More than us. I think we need more weapons, so go get them," Jasper replied, annoyed as hell. Once this settled, he was going to report this to his father and take all of these villagers down.

Jade pursed his lips as he looked at what Jasper was doing. Then he traced to the weaponry room and started picking up as many swords as possible. All at once, he sniffed. Smell of something burning wafted. His brows furrowed and he went closer to the door to sniff it. He was not even ten feet away from it, when the door blasted open with a severe explosion. Jade was thrown to the wall as small orbs of fire came flying inside and lodged on him. He shrieked in pain and found that some men had entered the room with swords. Before he could even get up, a group of men had attacked him and stabbed their sword in him. 

"Behead him!" One of them shouted. 

And someone swiped the sword through his neck. Jade's head tumbled on the floor with glassy eyes. Blood spurted like a fountain from his body.
