The Vampires of the Night: Chapter 21

Mikmak’s POV

There were at least dozen of scythian dracaenas circling our area. It’s a pretty bad morning that day. I immediately wake Evan and Luna.

“Enemies-outside-many!” I yelled, I think there were more of them. I thought it’s because three demigods and a demititan were enough to attract a bunch of monsters one at a time.

We readied ourselves for the new battle and burst out the tent, only the three of us cause Josh was already fighting them. I summoned my sword and lunge at the first monster that caught my eyes, it quickly disintegrated. I stabbed more dracaenas, jump, slash and dodge, still many were coming.

I spotted my friends. Luna was invisible; I saw some monsters pulverize with no other reason. Evan was summoning shock waves, bursting so many monsters into dust. Josh was killing a lot of monsters in one slash. But then our powers got limits, were already tired.

So lucky, the sun started to rise. It means Josh got his power back. Josh released a great shockwave of light turning all monsters to dust. I sat back and gasp the air heavily. I can sleep the whole day. We rested for a bit and get packed again.

“Come on, we need to find Kari immediately.” Josh said confidently. But I can feel the hurt inside him.

In my dream, a long ago. Kari was dating other man. And she changed her name into Nox. I can’t believe she can betray Josh that fast and it seemed that she’s very happy with her new friends. I didn’t even know if we need to continue this. Maybe she can leave without us and she can be happy now. But I still want to talk to her and ask her why did she left, so we must continue. I know this will be painful to Josh but we need to find Kari and if she would like to come back to camp we will surely accept her.

I picked up my back pack and stand up. Then I came to Josh and patted him.

“Don’t worry we’ll find Kari and ask her,” I encouraged him.

While on our way, I told the story of my dream to Evan and Luna. Josh was ahead of us, not interested to participate. When I ended my story they just bow their heads and we continue to walk.

“Guys! I think Kari just need some time. We still need to find her because we are her friends. And maybe we can cure her.” I thought, they were doubting already if we need to continue this quest.

“I wish you’re right…” Evan murmured.
