Chapter 6: The Vampire Capital
The capital gates creaked as the mechanical levers pulled them wide open to let the overseer and his prisoner in.
Noises created by the old gates rumbled, and thunder rolled coincidentally in unison at the distance.
The dark clouds that hung above the gloomy skies had finally decided it was time to send their prolonged judgment.
Gently, slowly, the tears of the heavens poured down as it gradually turned into a crescendo of pitter patters.
The Ugly Pig marched forward, lifting the hood of his cloak to protect his head from the rain. The guard behind Elys prodded her to move, and the princess hissed at him.
The captured princess looked dead straight ahead, and then made her first step forward into the vampire capital.
She felt a prickly sensation at the back of her head and she turned around to see what it was that had sent that unpleasant feeling.
Unlike the downtowns, the vampire capital wasn’t as crowded in terms of buildings and other residential houses.
They were currently passing by one particular manor where trees had lined up along the high metal fences.
It was rundown compared to the ones up ahead, and it looked like it was a misfit out of all the shiny black stoned structures of the vampire capital.
A flash of golden eyes moved about in the gloomy place and the princess thought it must have been a vampire lurking in the dark.
