Chapter 80

80 Chapter 80: Vampires amidst us

“Hello everyone,” Adam said through a microphone. “I’m sad to tell you that you all will be vacating the academy now.”

Everyone had started murmuring within themselves, including the dark creatures.

“Silence!” One of the academy soldiers shouted and the students momentarily shut their mouths.

“You may not know but there are spies within us that are secretly giving out pieces of information to their masters,” Adam said, he planned not to reveal the name vampire yet. The students will only get curious and lots of questions will be asked. He hates answering questions. But even though he didn’t mention the name vampire, the students started raising their hands to ask questions.

*sighs*

“Yes, what’s your question?” He pointed to one of the students standing at the front role. He was a light fairy. None of the dark creatures raised their hands as they already who was behind the spying that Adam was trying so hard to keep a secret.

They were wondering why Adam didn’t mention that they were vampires. Sophia have told them beforehand, about the vision they saw about the vampires, so they knew the bloodstone will be stolen but didn’t realize that it would be today.

Sophia had told them that she will be telling the light creatures about the danger to come but before then, she want to make sure the dark creatures inhabit their rightful home which was the light city, also known as the sparkle city.

They looked around to see if Sophia was nearby but they couldn’t catch a glimpse of her at all.

.....

The light creature student that wanted to ask a question had started his speech.

“Who are these spies? Does it have something to do with the presence of the dark creatures in the academy? I heard that they once wanted to steal the bloodstone from the academy. We saw the sky change and according to the testimonies from everyone, we heard something echoing blood into our ears,” The male fairy asked.

“Kevin, when you were possessed by the anger spell back in the basketball academy, did you hear blood echoing in your ears?” Jeri asked.

“No, I didn’t hear anything. I’m just as surprised as you... wait, what’s wrong?” Kevin asked.

“I think that guy seems strange...” Kevin’s mind seem to be occupied with something else so he didn’t pay much attention to what Jeri was saying.

It was a shortcut to listening to Jeri’s explanation.

Kevin traced where the male was and decided to move closer to him, but Jeri grabbed his hands before he could leave.

“Let’s go together, I know a spell that forces people to say the truth.” She said.

“Okay, let’s go.” Kevin agreed but Lexa had stopped them.

“Hey, what about me, I can help too,” Lexa said.

“Lexa, you stay close to us, watch out for whoever oddly approaches us, okay?”

Lexa sighed and replied faintly.

“Okay.”

The two then started walking towards the fairy boy.

“Could it be that the leaders of the dark creatures have stolen the bloodstone and have run away?” The fairy said but Adam suddenly shouted with anger.

“Shut your mouth! Who said the bloodstone was stolen? If I ever hear you talk about the bloodstone again, I’ll seal up your mouth.” Adam said before pointing his fingers at all the students. “Same goes for all of you.”

“Adam, when are you going to tell them the truth? Say the truth and let your liar self be ashamed.” Sophia replied as she appeared beside Adam. The truth is that, she was beside Adam the whole time, she only used an invisible spell to make herself invisible. But now she was visible to everyone. The dark creatures were glad to see their leader once again.

“Do you want to know the truth or do you want to stay with the lies you have been told?” Sophia asked but she saw the unsure looks on their faces.

“Sophia what are you doing, you can’t just interfere in my discussion like that,” Adam said.

“Why didn’t you defend my name when this student started insulting the dark creature’s name,” Sophia replied. Her blood boiled with anger as she glanced at Adam’s chiseled face.

His face was annoying enough for Sophia that she felt like hitting or cutting off the skin of his face.

She took her face away from Adam to not do as her mind was telling her to, and then started talking to the students.

“Do you know that these so-called spies that your dear schoolmaster is trying to hide are nothing but those bloodsucking creatures called vampires?” Sophia said and the whole students gasp in fear at the mention of their name.

Vampires were said to be mythical creatures found in myths and stories. They never believed that they could be real.

“Vampires are not real! Stop giving us fake news!”

“How are we sure you’re not working for them?!”

“Tell us the truth!”

The students started shouting, which breaks Sophia’s heart badly.

The dark creatures, seeing how disheartened their leader was, started defending her by shutting the light creatures up by using violence. The two groups of students started engaging in a fight once again.

“Did you see what you caused now?” Adam grinned at her before ordering the soldiers to stop the students from fighting.

That was when someone appeared beside Sophia.

“I’m sorry Sophia, I was the cause of all this mess. I’ll try and unite us as we should have been before now.” Pretta said as she faced the students to talk to them.

‘You should have done so before now. Do you think I will forgive these students after insulting our name?’ Sophia frowned within herself.

“Ahem!” Pretta tried to call for the attention of the students. Few had stopped fighting but there were still the stubborn ones who continued fighting, not caring whatever was done to them.

But the academy soldiers had stopped them, and the fight has been stopped, at least for now.

After the murmurings died down, Pretta started speaking.

“Do not blame the dark creatures, they are not the ones at fault. The vampires are real, and I’ll tell you the truth, they stole the bloodstone and used one of the evil spells of the stone on you guys, that’s why you were all fighting each other unwillingly.”
