The Last Embrace Chapter 127
Advertisement
Jessy and the Captain locked eyes.
The Captain's hands were itching to hold the woman's neck and wipe that arrogance on her face and choke her to death but damn he can't even move his entire body, this is frustrating and humiliating!
"All of you leave at once or I will start unleashing my dark side! This is not a warning, this is an order!" she said and disappeared in an instant from the Captain's line of vision.
Jessy still cloaked in her invisible form floated above the campsite, she waived her right hand unfreezing everyone below here.
It's amusing to see the men in uniform get off from one another until the mountain of bodies below her finally dispersed.
"Where is the Crossbreed?" they asked in unison.
"Gone," Captain Mercado answered.
"Sir, what can we do, that woman is a witch! She's powerful we can't easily defeat her," said the soldiers.
"Men, stand alert, wait for my orders!" Captain Mercado left his confused men, he heads towards his tent. Inside his tent he sat down on the ground, his shoulders hung in defeat.
Captain Mercado was shaking his head in disgust. This operation was doomed, with no bomb launchers and weapons to their disposal he likens their situation to a pack of chickens ready for frying. They just can't attack the vampires' headquarters without any weapons at all, with just the Crossbreed alone she's enough to wipe their asses off.
But he already seen some of her power, he was looking for her Achilles heel, her weakness.
That crossbreed can do powerful things...
Such as Levitation
Moving fast
Teleporting herself and other objects to other places.
She has the power of invisibility as well and for him, all her remarkable power was beyond compare.
All her power was insanely awesome! How could one person be granted so much power? He was flabbergasted.

What else?
What other power does she have?
Or maybe he has not discovered yet the full extent of her power. And right now he was at loss on what to do with the operation, what can he report to his superior if they will ask for the result the next day? If they will request for another round of ammunition the authorities will be asking where does the previous weapons have gone to? He sighed. A severe headache starts pounding on his head.
He was not done yet with resting, thinking and planning ...when he heard loud shouting and commotion from his men outside his tent.
Fire! Fire! Fire!
He sprinted from his tent and saw five tents were already catching fire! Everyone was scrambling to their feet dousing the fire with water.
Everyone was horrified and at their wit's end.
Dammit!
This Crossbred was pushing him to the edge of insanity!
Can't she wait a little bit longer!?
"Alright were moving out! Just hold the fire!" Captain Mercado shouted at the top of his lungs, that shout out was meant for the crossbreed who's just lurking around the vicinity of the camp.
At once, the fire disappeared in an instant.
Captain Mercado addressed his men. "Men, let's abandon this campsite, gather everything, don't leave anything behind. Go home and rest for a while, we will regroup later, I just need to report this phenomenon to my superior and tell them everything and wait for their next order. Men, let's get moving!"
The men in uniform went back to their respective tent and began gathering all their belongings and dismantled the tent and placed them on the standby vehicles.
Two hours later...
Jessy watched the military vehicles evacuating the site one by one until nothing was left in the campsite. She was hovering above the trees while trailing the vehicles from behind, she can't go back to the Facility yet.

She had a feeling that this won't end here.
This is just the beginning.
Although she was happy that she was able to drive the soldiers away but she knows that it's just a temporary solution.
The enemies could still attack the facility with bombs without deploying a single soldier to do the actual deed. They can even send warplanes to drop bombs at the top of the Facility.
And the Facility will no longer exist...pulverized to the ground.
And Jessy dreaded that vision to happen, it's the worst thing that could ever happen to the struggling and surviving vampires.
As of now, the happenings in the campsite were still a minor event, not big enough to warrant national interest but once the big guns know about her, hell will break loose.
Unless...
Unless she can do something to prevent Captain Mercado from reporting to his superior about her.
She sighed.
Jessy fell sleepy, she's been up 24 hours already, but she can't afford to sleep right now. Something needs to be done to ensure that she can have a good night's sleep tonight.
She looked upon the horizon the sun was already rising fast above the clouds.
It's gonna be a long day for her. She badly needed rest, and while she was thinking of sleeping and resting, she still needs to transform at least 3 vampires today with her blood to comply with her daily quota. If she plans to trail Captain Mercado's activity the whole day looks like she will never be able to do a single blood transfusion today. But spying on her enemy was more important than blood transfusion.
The vampire clan was on the edge of getting annihilated...and they have no idea what's happening outside the Facility.
Jessy released a deep sigh. The huge responsibility was getting heavier on her shoulder.
Her next plan is to trail Captain Mercado all the way to his house and observed what he will do next and then plan her next move.
She hovered above the vehicle where Captain Mercado was sitting on the front seat, his expression looks grim in the rear-view mirror.
Looks like they have the same expression on their faces, eh?
Misery loves company.

Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading!
