Chapter 164: Suckers

We stopped outside of the town and parked The Tank, taking the power core out and storing it back in its case. I had tried to get the box in my pocket, even trying to make the pocket longer, and when I tried putting the core in my pocket, well. Let's just say everyone could hear the vibrating sound, but I could feel it, and I had to take it out of my pocket before I went cross-eyed.

The girls that were with me at the time we're laughing at me so I walked over to Krya who had come to visit the workshop with me. I slipped my free hand behind her back and that took my hand that was getting the piss vibrated out of it and pressed it between her legs, but blocking her from the sight of everyone else. Kyra's laugh cut off and her eyes crossed and then rolled into the back of her head.

I slid my hand up her back and kissed her to cut off any noise she was about to make, and then pulled the power core hummer away from her stomach. I broke the kiss and then pulled away, but I stayed in front of her until she caught her breath. Then she jumped on me, wrapping her arms around my neck and almost knocking me over in surprise. This also squeezed the hummer between us, and I thought I was going to drop Kyra when Titania yelled at us to stop acting like animals and to go find a room.

There was a lot more to that story, but we were already walking up to town so I had to turn the mindless walking off and start being inconspicuous! The town looked normal, the sun was slowly sinking, but there was still plenty of daylight left, and it was good to see people moving around. They just looked like normal people and ignored us, but not rudely, they just treated us like anyone else passing through.

"This place is really nice, and the people seem nice. No one has treated us as outsiders, but they help in any way shape, or form, we were just normal people to them," Esmeralda said.

"I hope it is as good as it seems, but the thing is, there hasn't been a single angry, sad, happy or worried expression on anyone's face. They aren't blank, but they don't really show true expression, like the smiles they use only woke on their mouths, but not their eyes," Rachel pointed out.

"Let's get a room and we can talk there," Red suggested.

"Nope, I'm getting creep sacrificial vibes from the lack of real emotions, I can't feel anything from anyone. So, we are leaving and we will be camping outside, I...nevermind," I said letting my shoulders shrug and my hair sag.

I had forgotten I wasn't Hyde right now, I was Harry the hair master, I couldn't do shit. Mmmm, I didn't like this, but Red was right.

"Fine, did you find one?" I asked Red, and he nodded. "Then lead the way! I am just dying to see what happens next!"

The place was The Tavern, even the building had no personality. The room we entered was featureless, and Rachel went up and got us two rooms, but she had a strange look on her face when she came back from talking to the female owner, who went and locked the door in a hurry.

"Rachel, what is going on, and why is she the first person to show any kind of emotion?"

"Vampire's," Rachel said with a grin.

"Woman, why are you smiling? What is so funny about Vampires?"

"Because now we know why Ratiha has been closed and Jill is going to get her to wish," Rachel said with a smile. 

"You think my mo...that makes sense. The closed borders and the people not leaving. If you can't leave before night, then you bloodsucker food," Jill said in the husky voice in disgust.

So good, hehe! 

"So, are Vampires a normal thing around here? Because no one has ever said anything about said bloodsuckers."

I was not worried, hehe, I invited any vampire to try and bite me. Now that was going to be funny, like chopping the balls off a cat, pretty much useless. Oh well, I would have to play support and hide in the back. The other could have a turn to deal with them. Even Nuwari trained using weapons with me and some of the other girls in using the daggers, but she already had the experience, it was more about reactivating it. 

"The Pure Vampires are more monsters than anything, but they come from The Monster Islands. Some must have brought it back and traded it to my Mother. I know some expeditions went there at that time, and there were many records of them in the capital when I was a little girl, or so you know said,'' Jill explained as the frantic lady finally came back over to us. 

"Can you help me please, I don't want those children to get through this, can you please take them out of here, and out of this land? It's cursed, they come to every night and feed on random people in their homes!" The lady pleaded.

"We aren't going anywhere, it's too late for that," I whispered into Red's ear and he repeated my words and carried on.

"You need to hide with you kids in the cellar, you have one right? With the only one door that we can guard?"

The lady nodded to Red and ran, good job! I wanted to congratulate him, but there could be ears and eyes anywhere. So staying in character was better, for now, I could congratulate my friend on his nice recovery later. 

We got the kids into the basement cellar, below the kitchen, and locked them in, putting a box over top, they had what they needed to survive until morning easily. We just had to deal with the bloodsuckers, but if they were going to be random attacks, we needed to be the bait to draw them in.

"Everyone comes here, I want to do a little bit of bleeding."
