Trisha and Harold looked right again, away from Sarah's smiling face and their eyes settled on their friends. They were all on the ground, bleeding and groaning in pain. There was only one person standing and he had his head bowed not in shame. No, but rather, to spawn mystery. It was Derek."Never underestimate what I can do," Sarah said with an evil chuckle. Harold turned to look at her while Trisha had her eyes on Derek in case he wanted to try anything funny. "If you do then you can be rest assured that you're dead."She paused for some seconds, allowing her words sink in."You thought you killed all of my minions: the ghouls but no. You all failed to recognise and kill the one who was by far the most dangerous."Due to their close proximity, Trisha and Harold were able to communicate effectively without having to bother that Sarah and Derek were eavesdropping. The others were still writhi

Trisha was finding it difficult to take down Ericson and it was the same with him. They were both evenly matched, knew the same skills — or at least, had the answer to each others spells, had the same tricks in their hats and had an almost equal experience.Derek's wolf began shooting bullets made of plasma out of his hand and in return, Trisha created a shield, also made out of plasma, to keep herself safe.While in the plasma that formed a blue semi-circle round her, although she couldn't see it clearly, she could see the bodies of all the others.She knew it won't have been as easy as it was for Derek to take them out but he had used the element of surprise to his advantage.Brie was the closest to her. She was sprawled on the ground in a defenceless position. Her arms and legs were spread wide apart and her eyes were closed. It would have been very easy for the ghoul that was in Derek to t

“Trisha!” Harold called out as he held on to Sarah's body.After he had bitten her off, his wolf yanked off the flesh so that blood could pour out and that was exactly what had happened.  Because her neck was close to her head and had vital veins running through it, she lost consciousness not long after.When she did, Harold's human form took over and now, he was holding her in his arms which were stained with blood but he didn't mind.Trisha took her eyes away from Brie and Derek and shifted it to Harold who was at her and the others.“Come,” Harold said. His voice echoed using the walls of the cavern as a medium but that didn't cause him any worry at all. He had to do what he wanted to before Sarah woke up.Trisha picked up space, skipped a little and ran to him, casting one short glance back at Brie and Derek. With them were Penelope and Wilkes who had regained consciousness not long ago. It

As they all rounded the corner moving as fast as they could with Trisha leading them, a loud thump sounded from where they had been earlier. It was what Trisha had seen coming before the other."We need to move faster," she said and quickened her pace. The others that were behind her, too, began moving faster than before.Another loud thump followed, heavier than the first and the walls of the tunnel which they toured shook more.Suddenly, Trisha stopped on her tracks."Move, move," Brie who was right behind her said. "Why the wait?"Trisha spun around suddenly with wide eyes. Her flashlight landing on Brie's oblong face. "Professor Ericson and Francis. They're there."A long silence followed. It was cut short, though, by another crash that although was loud, wasn't as threatening as the first two ones."Wilkes," Harold said suddenly as his br

Wilkes changed into his vampire form and with the others holding on to each others piece of clothing, they were able to get to the where the ladder without much trouble.“How do we get them up? Penelope asked, referring to Sarah and Derek's unmoving bodies.“We'll get them up the old way,” Brie said as an idea crept into her head. It was quite a stupid and hilarious one but that made her fall in love with it more.“What are you talking about?” Wilkes asked with a look of confusion on his face.“Watch,” Brie said. She walked to where the ladder was and climbed up it like a cat. She was much faster than she had been when coming down. The torch she'd brought down with her, too, had gotten missing in the frenzy she'd met. If she hadn't wandered down there, it was very unlike they would have survived.When she got to professor Ericson's office, a smile spread across her face. She was no more in the dark,
