The mysterious man put down the puppet in the ground and took off his cloak and wrapped the woman with it, concealing her presence, the man has thick long black hair that was sticking out in all directions.

Jessy had a hard time seeing his face properly.

Then he hoisted the puppet again in his shoulder.

He slowly rose from the ground, rising higher and higher above the trees.

Jessy was following him...Wow! So, he can hover in the air as well?

All the vampires can do that, it's basic power of all vampires. She was keeping tabs of this mysterious man's power...he can grow and manipulate fire, he can freeze anyone, he can hover in the air, she was guessing he might also have the teleporting or invisible power—the way he appeared in the clearing its clear indication that he was just lurking in the dark just like her.

While she was following him in the air, she realized that she was getting farther away from the mountain where the cave was located.

Wait!

W-where are they going?

Heck! They just passed mountains after mountains.

Hmm...

Passing through the clouds, trees, and mountains and finally, the mysterious man slows down. He paused mid-air and looked down below him. Jessy was so preoccupied with the mysterious man that she almost did not notice what lies below in the ground...

Holy Cow!

There are people in the ground...they were gathering in the clearing where a bonfire was lit in the center. As she looked closely they were all wearing dark clothing just like the mysterious guy.

They raised their heads to see the apparition in their eyes.

The mysterious man hovered down and finally, his feet touch the ground.

They all dropped to their knees, bowing their heads, acknowledging the arrival of their leader, the mighty—Jagger!

"Your highness!"

Jagger ignored his subjects and proceed to his personal space located inside a cave deep down below the towering mountains. The cave's mouth was concealed by thick bushes and plants just like the first cave.

Jagger went inside the cave—alone—still carrying the woman in his shoulder.

Jessy didn't follow the mysterious man inside the cave, instead, she remained outside. She was certain of one thing—they are vampires—now she just wants to know what kind of vampires are they...are they savage types or just ordinary vampires?

She had made a mental observation, compared to the previous vampires that they rescued in the first cave, the vampires here are far more healthier...they look like they are well fed...it piqued her curiosity. Where did they get fresh blood to sustain their existence? Unless they have a continues supply of blood stocked somewhere, which is highly impossible considering that the anti-vampire vaccine is well circulated and accepted by the masses.

Unless...

She saw five vampires heading to the north side of the camp, she followed them. They were probably heading to a river or a stream located somewhere as she began to hear sounds of water trickling nearby.

The group reaches the stream, there was a part of the stream where the water was a bit deeper. The vampires discarded their clothes and waded into the water, naked.

Their naked back facing Jessy, Oh boy! she rolls her eyes.

Before they can fully be submerged in the water, Jessy's hands moved instantly manipulating the wind to blow into their location, their long hair was blown away by the strong wind exposing their nape...the wind blows fast and quick...it ended instantly.

Damn! She saw the Eight Point Star Symbol on their nape!

Jessy gasped, she was covering her mouth, careful not to make any sound.

The five vampires were looking at each other—wide eyes. They began talking among themselves.

"WTF!?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Where that wind come from?"

"It's so sudden...as if it was intentionally blown to our direction!"

"It's gone, let's just take a bath!"

After investigating the surrounding areas and seeing that there was no one around spying on them, they continue skinny dipping.

It finally dawned on Jessy that the mysterious man—the leader of the group is also a symbol bearer.

So—this camp here—is their base?

And how many are they?

It would be hard to count them all since she doesn't know where the others are hiding.

She rose above the trees and get a birds-eye view of the whole place...

She only saw a dozen of them more or less twenty of them scattered everywhere, the ones who gathered in the bonfire earlier has already dispersed.

She hovered lower into the ground and went to the direction of the cave. She passed through the thick bushes and finally emerged inside the cave.

She went to the long narrow passageway...passing some slumped vampires along the way. They won't be able to smell her scent because she already canceled her human scent.

As she goes deeper into the cave, she came into a crossroad, she originated from the south which is the entrance, she went to the east direction, she saw a clearing and a wall and a dead-end...she saw more than a dozen vampires there, around 30, nothing interesting in there, she went back to where she was standing earlier in the crossroad.

Then she tried the west side...the path leads to a wide clearing...what she saw there shocked her to the core!

A horrid stench assailed her nostril making her want to vomit.

The clearing is full of cages—about thirty of them—each cage contained people, human being to be exact!—from women to men and teenagers included. Some of them were so skinny but still alive—and some are still healthy.

The smell in that area is horrible! A mixture of human poop, urine and something else!

What the hell is going on!?

Then she heard someone whimpering on the last cage near the wall, it's a woman's pitiful voice!

She comes closer to the last cage.

Then she saw a woman sobbing, her right arm was in full display outside the cage, and a vampire was grabbing her arms sinking it's pointed fangs on the woman's arm. Jessy choked on her saliva.

Jesus Christ!

Jessy shut off her eyes. As she surveyed the area around her, she realized that the cages contained human beings that were not vaccinated with the anti-vampire vaccine! And they have now become the savages food, the vampires fed on their blood day in and day out, so the reason why they are still alive until now because they were still useful to the vampires. Those savage filthy beings managed to survive due to their fresh blood supply courtesy of the caged mortals!
