Chapter 22 - The Vampire With Red Robe

Mark run fast as he can to a group of hunters who was fighting with a group of vampire hunter. Emma who was following from behind tried to chase Mark who was running very fast than her.

One of the vampire run away from the crowded and jumped high to the window at a big house.

Mark quickly take out his pistol and aim to the vampire. Mark pull the trigger and the bullet shoot right into the vampire's head before he could enter the house through the window.

Emma looked at the group of the hunters. She saw one of the vampire who wear a red robe punched two of the hunters and the hunters flew far from there. Emma's eyes widened. This vampire is so strong, it can take down two hunters with only one punch. I don't have any chance.

Another hunters attack the vampire with red robe but they also get thrown away by the vampire.

Mark move foward and he attack the vampire in empty-handed. While Mark attack the vampire, Emma saw there is another vampires was crawling from under the bus and they were approaching Mark. Emma quickly lifted up her gun toward the vampires and quickly shoot at them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of bullets shot frightening the vampires to come near Mark. They quickly jumped high up to the roof of the bus. They turn their gaze toward the hunter who shot them. When they saw Emma, they didn't hesitate to show their teeth and grinned atrociously toward Emma.

Emma looked at them with a sharp gaze. Not a bit of sympathy is shown on her face. Vampire are bad for people, why should I have mercy for them?

Emma pull the trigger continuously without thinking to stopped. She aim the Beretta gun toward the vampires.

Knowing that they were in the great danger, the three vampires quickly jumped away from the roof of the bus. One of the vampire which is a woman jumped toward Emma and she attacked Emma with her sharp claws.

Emma duck to avoid from getting injured and she rolled on the sandy ground to the other side of the woman before she pointed her gun to the woman. She pulled the trigger and another gun shots heard through the place. The bullets go straight to the vampire's chest.

The woman screamed in pain before she vanished into ashes.

Another vampire jumped behind Emma and this time is a young teenager boy. This vampire quickly grabbed Emma's right leg and pulled her into under the bus.

Emma fall hardly on the sandy ground, causing a deepn pain under her back and head. "Argh!!!"

Mark heard the panic scream from Emma so he turn his head toward Emma. When he saw the vampire dragged Emma toward the bus, Mark run to save her. He grabbed Emma's left hand and hold her but the vampire was too strong until Mark was also dragged along. "Shoot him!!" yelled Mark to Emma when he cannot hold Emma too long.

Emma point her gun toward the vampire and a few seconds later..

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The vampire screamed in pain while his body was burned to ashes. In a few seconds, the vampire already vanished.

The other vampire who saw his other friends is already dead, they decided to retreated but not the vampire with the red robe. He quickly run toward Mark and Emma and recklessly attacked them.

Mark who realised the danger quickly pull Emma into his embraced and they quickly move away from the vampire.

Emma startled for the first time when Mark suddenly pulled her into his embraced but second later, she realised that the vampire with red robe was chasing after them. Emma lifted her gun once again and shoot the vampire.

The vampire jumped to the other side, avoiding the bullets.

Mark pull out his pistol and shoot the vampire again. The sounds of bullets shot echoing all the places.

The vampire quickly jumped away and he enter a building through the window.

Mark pull Emma away to make a distance between them. "Let's get that bastard!!" He walked into the building where the vampire gone. His face was serious and emitting a dark aura.

Emma nodded slightly as she follow Mark from behind.

When they entered the building, there is no lamp that lighting the places. Mark take out his torchlight and place it under the pistol. Emma also take out her torchlight and use it to light up the dark alley.

Mark looked at Emma. "Stay behind me."

Emma nodded.

They walked quickly as they looked at their surrounding and alert to any suspicious sound. When they heard a creak noise, the two of them quickly turn their gaze toward the noise and saw there are three mouses was crawling over on the floor.

Emma take a deep breath. This is so thrilling for her. Never in her life feel this way. Even getting an exam result is not this thrilling. Well, this is because of life and death matter. If she didn't pay any attention to her surrounding, she will be dead. Even Mark couldn't help her either.

When just Emma started to calm down a bit, suddenly someone from the upstair break the upstair floor, making a big hole from the floor and a hand suddenly reached out to grab Emma's colar and pulled her up.

"AAARRGGGGHHHH!!!!!" Emma's voice echoing through all the house as her body was lifted up and vanished through the hole on the upstair floor. The torchlight she held before fall onto the floor.

Mark didn't have a time to react as the scene was too fast for him to react. "EMMA!!!!!" shouted Mark but he know it useless because Emma is already gone and there is no other voice coming from her mouth. Something must happen to her.

Mark quickly run to the upstair using the stairs. When he reached the second floor, Mark quickly lifted up his pistol and looked everywhere. Mark found the hole where the vampire dragged Emma and Mark quickly enter one of the open door. He was sure the vampire had already take Emma into one of the room.

Mark enter the dark room and he use the torchlight in his hand to lighting all the corner. Mark found Emma lying unconsciously on the floor. Mak approached her and check Emma's condition. Emma don't have any serious injury but she was unconscious. When Mark saw that Emma still breathing, he release a short sighed. At least, she is still alive.

Just when Mark want to wake her up, someone come out from the dark corner and standing behind Mark. The shadow is the red robe vampire and he quickly swing his hand with sharp claws toward Mark.

Mark realised the sudden attack and jumped to the front to avoid the attack but he was a bit late to react. The vampire manage to hurt Mark with his claws on Mark back. He grinned widely when he saw Mark is injured.

"Argh!" Mark groaned in pain as he looked at the vampire. Even though he cannot see the vampire's face but he can feel that the vampire was smiling widely and viciously toward him. Mark's gaze turned to a murderous aura and the temperature in the room increased rapidly.

"Lets get this over!!" Mark tightened his grip on the pistol as he moved foward to attack the vampire. The vampire also didn't hold back and he started to attack Mark.

The vampire seems to enjoy it when he fighting with a strong opponent likd Mark. Not like the other weak hunters he faced before. All of them cannot even stand up to his attack for 5 minutes.

After 15 minutes the fighting scene started, Mark successfully to get his victory and kill the vampire. He shot the vampire many times because the vampire was very strong and managed to hold on even after he received five shots from Mark.

When the vampire is already dead, Mark sat down on the floor with a tired face. Of course he already experienced this kind of situation but not always he faced a strong opponent like the red robe vampire. If he encounter one of the vampire like that, he was surely exhausted. Damn, that vampire is surely one of the strongest vampire!

Mark put back his pistol to his case and slowly approaching Emma who was still unconscious on the floor. Mark groaned a little when the pain on his back sting him again. But he don't have any choice. He can't leave Emma here.

Without thinking any further, Mark lift Emma in his hand like a bride style and take her to the base camp to get Emma treated. Even though he was also injured, he still can hold on.

After Mark reached the base camp, Mark put Emma onto one of the avaliable patient bed. Luckily, Suzy was there to help the nurse and doctor treat the patient. As soon as Suzy saw Emma, she approached Mark and Emma.

"What happen?" asked Suzy in a worried tone as she checked on Emma's condition. She didn't get any injured except for the little scratches on her forehead. Suzy quickly get another medical equipment and started to treat Emma's forehead.

"We encounter a strong vampire," said Mark as he sit onto one of the wooden stool and take off his tactical vest.

Suzy peeked a glance toward Mark and saw the wound behind Mark's back shoulder. The shirt around the wound area also was torn off and covered with Mark's blood. Suzy quickly moved besides Mark with the medical equipment. Emma didn't injured too bad so she can focused more to Mark's wound.

"You are injured. Let me help you," said Suzy and she picked up the cotton wool with the antiseptic on it.

Mark take off his shirt and let Suzy take care of the wound. The wound need to treated quickly because he need his precious, strong body to help another survivors.

Later, Willy come to the camp with another two survivors. When he saw Suzy was treated Mark's wound, he approached them.

"Are you feeling good??" asked Willy.

Mark looked at Willy and nodded slightly. He hissed a bit when Suzy put the medicine on his back.

Willy looked at Emma who was still unconscious. Willy sighed a little.

Suddenly another hunter with an anxious face come to the camp and yelled, "There is another survivors on the East house but they were trap in there because the house has collapsed. There is five children and three a.d.u.l.ts in there. We need a hand to get the survivors. The house seems to be in unstable state, it will collapsed in a short time again."

When the hunter announced it from the start, Mark grabbed another clean shirt and wear it. He wear his tactical vest.

"Hey, I'm not done yet!!" said Suzy irritated when Mark suddenly get up and wear his shirt. She hasn't done to treat Mark's wound but he was ready to do another mission. Is this man an iron, to not care about the wound on his body??

Mark looked at Suzy. "You will treat me next time. I have to help another survivors first. Anyway, thanks for helping me," said Mark. He give Suzy a reassuring smile and also adding a wink to Suzy. Mark's action leave Suzy dumbstruck on her place. This man still have a chance to do it to her?? In this kind of condition?? Such a flirty man!!

"Let's go," said Willy, didn't pay attention to them because he understand Mark's true behavior. He always flirting with girls or women and make them to fall in love with him but in the end, he would not responsible for what he has done. He is the number one playboy among his siblings.

Mark and Willy walked away to fulfil their duty to help the trapped survivors.

Suzy frowned a bit as she watched them walked away.
