“So where is she, we have been here for quite a long time now?” Elias asked, sucking his teeth.
” je suis ici ( I’m right here)” a voice said from behind as a woman emerged, her appearance leaving everyone stunned. She was far from what they had expected her to be, her beauty was unmatched even though she wore tattered clothes.
“Bonne journee Serefina, ( good day Serefina)” Moreau said, stepping out as he walked up to her, picking up her hands as he planted a kiss on her knuckles.
” Avez-vous le diamant avec vous? ( Do you have the diamond with you?)” She asked, retracting her hand backwards.
“Oui ( yes)” Moreau replied, putting his hand inside his leather pouch as he reached for the diamond which he handed to Serefina.
“Bon, nous allons commencer les rituels tout de suite, nous avons juste un peu de temps jusqu’a minuit. (Good, we will begin the rituals immediately, we have just a little time until midnight.)” She said tucking the diamond away.
” Dites a vos amis de s’agenouiller dans le cercle la-bas, tout est prepare pour les rituels.
(Tell your friends to kneel inside the circle over there, everything for the rituals has been prepared)” she informed, pointing at a big circle at the corner of the house, with salt lining it, a big fire lit in the middle.
“what did she say?” Elias asked, being from Britain, he had no idea about what Moreau and Serefina conversed with each other, unlike the others.
” Kneel inside the circle we will begin” Moreau announced as everyone scrambled away, they were fourteen in total.

Only the sounds of crickets chirping and Serefina incantations were heard, the golden light of the fire lit, lighting everywhere up.
“i athanasia, i dynami, i dynami, i tachytita, tha einai dika sas”
She chanted at the top of her voice.
“i athanasia, i dynami, i dynami, i tachytita, tha einai dika sas”
” i athanasia, i dynami, i dynami, i tachytita, tha einai dika sas”
” i athanasia, i dynami, i dynami, i tachytita, tha einai dika sas” she chanted screaming hard, as the black of her eyes turned white, the fire lit at their middle increased as if fuel was added to hit.
Strong wind blew, as if a great Storm was coming while Serefina kept chanting.
“i dynami tis fysis, ela epano mou, tous dino dynami, megali dynami” she continued, the wind still blowing vigorously as she raised her hands up to the sky.
“Pnevma ton progonon mou, i i athanasia, i dynami, i dynami, i tachytita, tha einai dika sas” she called upon the spirits, as the clouds rumbled, the grounds shaking violently.
She walked to where they knelt, taking their hands one by one, splitting their palms with a sharp knife, spilling their blood into a bowl.
“il est presque temps( it’s almost time)” she announced looking up at the sky, where the full moon was almost visible with a smile on her face.

” Moreau you need to see this” Hugo said, alerting, leading Moreau into his house, where the strong smell of blood filled everywhere.
Moreau could already feel his fangs aching him, an indescribable feeling fueling up within him.
” Look what we’ve done..” Hugo said, alerted, pointing at Delphine who sat at the ground with a lifeless body in her hands, blood smeared all over her, her mouth also stained with blood, her eyes blazing red.
“What is this Moreau, I can’t take this, don’t you see what is happening here?” Hugo asked again alerted as he looked at Moreau, whose eyes were changing colors from gray to red,
Before Hugo could say anything else Moreau had already charged at the body Delphine was holding.

” We need to meet Serefina, she has to explain this” Emile said as they were all seated in a room, regarding the matters at hand.
” I can stand the sight of blood, I killed two people today, I fed on them till I was satisfied, what the hell is going on?” Eugene asked stomping around the room.
” That’s the price we have to pay, don’t you get it, we’re Vampires now..” Elias stated standing up, he felt so elated, he couldn’t be more happier than the state he is now.
” We depend on blood Moreau, human blood, we need Blood to survive, we kill to survive.. you never informed us of any of this” Elliot said, he killed a person this morning.
” Don’t you dare take it all on Moreau, you all wanted power and we got it, I couldn’t be more happier than this.” Elias began,
” I have immense strength, I see at night, I can fly, I heal fast, I have great vision and hearing, we are fast, and the only price we have to pay is to feed on blood, I don’t see anything wrong with that.” Elias pointed out, he has long accepted this new side of him.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
” The numbers of deaths are increasing everyday, soon, they council members will get to know about this” Emile Gaston said, yes it gave them power, but the price is something else.
” That is why we don’t need to kill our prey, just a little sip” Moreau suggested,
” Tell that to the women, they’re the worst, they have no self control at all, ” Eugene said,
” We have to do something about this, before people starts talking, that monsters live among them, we are no less than monsters now” Hugo voiced out,
” No one speaks anymore,” Moreau yelled, bringing everyone to silence.
” You wanted power, we have gotten power, so learn to live with it, we are now Vampires, so act like one, ” Moreau stated walking away, all that’s in his head now is blood, as he felt his fangs aching, he will just learn how to live with this now and control his urge, but now he needs to feed.
“Is that all he has to say?” Eugene scoffed pointing at the door which Moreau left through.
“I have something to tend to also, aiye Vampires” Elias waved leaving as well.
