No prompt for a bomb.“What’s that?” Jesse asked.“Looks like a blueprint,” Ashley replied. “Of the basement floor from what it says.” “Cut the cable,” Jesse said.“Hold on, I want to look at this,” Ashley replied. “They’re paying us to cut the cable, then we can leave.”“There’s no one here, you can wait a minute. I want to see what they were looking at.” “What does it matter? They’re not paying us to look at their computer shit.”“Go look around, see if you can find anyone alive, or any vampires!” Ashley snapped. “I’m leading this team and I’ll tell you when we cut the cable.”“Fine,” Jesse barked back. He took off followed by Arthur.“What are you doing?” a voice called out. It was Bohdan stepping out from between two shelving units.Ashley jumped when she heard the sound of Bohdan’s voice and spun around to face him.“Who the fuck are you?” Ashley asked. She pulled a pistol and pointed it at the vampire who was now in her view.“I thought everyone knew who I was,” Bohdan replied.
Bohdan, Cara and Ashley caught up with Rancid and Isaac in the tunnel. The vampires had excellent night vision and didn’t require the extra lights, even in total darkness. No one knew for sure how long the tunnel ran, but they figured it would be around three or four miles. At first the tunnel was lined with concrete with tubing and wire bundles running along the ceiling. As they moved on the smooth walls gave way to a broken and crumbling concrete façade and finally to Earth and soil with wood supports that held up the loose ceiling. It looked like the tunnel had never been finished and they didn’t know what they would find at the end.“Is anyone else getting nervous?” Cara asked. “We’ll get out, don’t worry,” Bohdan replied.“I didn’t hear an explosion, do you think the prison is gone?” “It would be hard to hear anything in here.”“What if it didn’t blow, they might try to find us.” “We’ll be long gone before anyone finds the tunnel.”As they moved along, they noticed tracks forming
Isaac replied, “I don’t think I have much choice in the matter. I’m starving to death.” “Let’s go,” Rancid said and the two stood up and walked towards the closest cabin.Bohdan, Ashley and Cara stayed close to the ground watching Rancid and Isaac walk towards the cabins in the moonlight. In the distance, they could hear the sounds of cattle and not much else. For the most part it was quiet with only a slight warm breeze.Cara said, “What do you think will happen?” Ashley replied, “I think they’ll both get killed.” “It’s hard to kill a vampire you know.”“I’ve been in the vampire extermination business for five years. I’m well aware of how hard it is.”“Have you ever killed a vampire yourself? Or are you just some sort of manager?”“I started off on the ground floor like everyone else. Yes, I’ve killed many vampires,” Ashley replied.“Is that legal? I mean, being a vampire isn’t a crime.”“No, but being a murdering, drug dealing vampire thief is. There are different rules for vampires
company is a joke. They have no idea how to stop a vampire. I’m surprised you haven’t been killed yet.”Ashley knew a lot of the agents she supervised had been killed over the years. And there had been rumors that the tools they had been given to use against the vampires were either ineffective or broke to begin with. And now she saw firsthand that the rumors were true and her life was on the line.“I should feed on you first,” Bohdan said. “I could save the girls for later, a desert let’s say.”“You won’t feed on me,” Ashley said. “My blood will make you sick.”“And why do you say that?” Bohdan asked. He was getting bored with this woman.“I’ve had shots that turn my blood into something vampires can’t drink. It makes my blood taste bad to them.” Ashley didn’t want to tell him the shots had a limited effect which faded over time. Basically she was bluffing.“If that were the case, why don’t all humans get the shot? There are thousands of vampires running around,” Bohdan asked.“It’s
Bohdan saw Cara fall to the floor in a heap, and then saw the woman standing behind her holding the fence post digger she used to hit her. The woman was slight of build, olive colored skin with dark eyes and long brown hair. Her name was Sara. She was panting and almost shaking but the look in her eye was that of a cornered animal. She was pissed. “You let my girls go,” Sara said. She locked eyes with Bohdan and readied herself to strike out at him.“You may have knocked out a woman who didn’t see you coming, but you won’t take me out so easily,” Bohdan said. “I will have your girls, and then you when I’m finished.”Sara looked around the room to see if there was anyone who could help her. She could only find her daughters and no one else. “Girls, I want you to leave, do you understand me?” Sara said.Bohdan watched to see if the girls would do what their mother told them to do. They hesitated and began to walk away from Bohdan. Seeing them step away, Bohdan reached out and grabbed Cl
Rancid stepped out of the cabin and looked towards the westbound sun. It was two days later and Anne never came back. The bodies of the dead men were gathered up in a pile out in a distant field and eaten by coyotes and buzzards. The vampires were hungry, only Cara and Ashley had food from the cabin they could eat and it was gone. It was late afternoon and the group decided to head into the town they had seen from the mine entrance on the hill.Dressed in the clothes they found in the cabins and removed from the dead men, the group gathered on a horse drawn wagon and headed off into town. What town they didn’t know. Rancid took the reins and led the horses down the path. Nobody knew anything about horses or buggies, but they were quick learners and made good time leaving the cabins behind.Hours passed and the horse drawn buggy came into town. Immediately they noticed they were no longer in the modern world. There were no cars or trucks, just horses and buggies like they were using. T
“I get that, but once we do feed on her, we will have to move onto another town. We can’t keep coming back here.”“What did you do before you went to prison? Did you find your meals at the supermarket? No, you had to go find new ones each day.”“And that’s how I ended up in prison,” Rancid said. “I finally got caught. If you think about it, I was actually better off in prison. I had three hots and a cot as they say.”“Well, I don’t know what to tell you, I’m buying supper tonight, you can buy supper tomorrow night,” Bohdan said.Cara and Ashley crossed the street trying to keep out of the mud and horse shit. Before they stepped up onto the wood walkway they spied Anne, the twelve year old girl and sister of Clarissa who Bohdan had raped and killed. Anne took notice right away and turned to run.“Wait!” Cara yelled.Anne hesitated and turned back.“We won’t hurt you, we promise. We’re alone.”Anne had been on her own since the attack and had nowhere to turn. She also had no reason to t
Isaac took a seat in front of the stage so he could get a close up view of the nude stripper working the pole. He was excited to see something he’d only seen online. The girl was a bit thicker than he thought a stripper should be, and wasn’t as clean shaven as he’d of liked, but she had a nice rack of tits and that was enough to make him happy. Although the prison was co-ed, he rarely saw the females in anything other than the orange jumpsuits the prisoners were issued.Rancid and Bohdan joined Isaac at the table and Rancid sat down. Bohdan remained standing, looking around at the patrons who were also watching the show and drinking.“Sit down Bohdan,” Rancid said. “Enjoy the show.”Bohdan continued to scan the room, looking up at the balcony to see if there were any girls available. “I need to find the madame,” Bohdan said.“You can do that later.”Bohdan hesitated, then took a seat at the table. A waitress approached and took their order leaving the vampires alone to talk. “I only h
