Al continued to explore the dark Silver Forest at his vampire speed. He moves like a shadow. Al didn't even turn his head or stop, his eyes just stared straight ahead. After arriving at the border between the Silver Forest and the human world, Al paused to take a breath and observe the situation. He looked intensely at the river in front of him which was also the natural boundary separating the two regions. "I have not been back in a long time," he said. Al then continued his journey until he finally arrived at a bar located quite far from this border, a classic bar located in the northern region of the human world.   ***   Ring. The doorbell rang as Al pushed open the bar's door. An old woman who was serving the guests immediately looked at him. Calmly, Al walked in and sat down on an empty chair, right in front of this old woman. Their gazes met intense, "What is your order, sir?" sh

With a brown paper bag filled with a few slices of freshly baked bread, Al came out of the shop. He bought three bagels, two whole-grain loaves of bread, and one baguette. Then Al thought of something else he should buy."Looks like I'll be buying some fruit as well as some meat," he muttered.Al then looked at the gravel road, "I should have visited her too," he thought, then left his place to go to another shop.However, without him knowing, there was someone who continued to follow him. He could hear the sound of pebbles rubbing against each other as they were stepped on. Dimly, he also smelled a familiar odor, that doesn't come from a human. *** Meanwhile, at the bar, Josh and Annie were talking about Al's arrival. Annie looked very worried. This old woman thought of many possibilities, but she was always aiming for the "prey"."Josh, what do you think of Al's request?" asked Ann.

Diana woke up in her room, feeling cold and hungry. This is a vampire world, of course, she won't be able to find human food here, yesterday all she ate was an apple. Of course, an apple wouldn't be enough to satisfy her hunger, and the castle located within the Silver Forest with its thickets of trees made the air colder, making her hunger even more intense. "Do I also have to drink human blood now? This is a sign that I'm turning into a vampire, isn't it?" Diana thought, but she quickly pushed her thoughts away. "Okay, I'll go around. Anyway... what is this?" muttered Diana feeling the touch of the textured cloth on her feet. She took the clothes and looked at them carefully. "Clothes...? It looks beautiful and glamorous. Do vampires always wear clothes like this?" she asked considering Rai was also wearing clothes that looked luxurious and glamorous like royal clothes. Then she looked around the room, "And I need to clean

Gail took a sip of his milk and said, "Diana is a kind woman to those who know her well, and a strange woman to those who only know her as an acquaintance."He continued, "From sunrise to sunset she will be busy helping her mother with household matters. She hardly ever left the house. People say she's anti-social or that's what his family says about her.""Except at night—" Gail took another sip of her milk before continuing his information, "—when people were asleep, she would leave her house and go to the outskirts of the city.""Drinkers who are also night watchers always see her at night. When they follow her, she always disappears.""They could have been tricked by her," said Al."No. They weren't tricked. Once they tried to trap her because she is so suspicious. Some people followed her and the others were waiting at the night flower exit, she entered that place but she never came out.""They must not have

"Mom, what is this?" Gail noticed a small red bottle in his hand."Where did you find it?""Here," he replied, pointing to the table Al had used to put his things.Ann clucked, "That vampire, he doesn't seem to want to add another burden, but he gives it anyway," then Josh grabbed the bottle."What's in that bottle?" asked Gail again."Poison," replied Ann."Back to work, let Daddy save it." Josh went to the second floor.Gail had a suspicious look on her face, she couldn't believe what her mother had said. With a serious face, he asked, "Should I find out myself?"Ann chuckled in amusement, "Gail... I'm sure you won't find any answers unless you look for him at Haltz Castle in the Silver Forest. Mother isn't lying anyway." *** It was only nine in the morning, but Haltz Castle was already very noisy, filled with the screams of Iki and Ika."You found her, Ki?" Ika asked.I
