The Last Embrace Chapter 240

There he was!
Zain was hiding behind the trunks of the tree. His head was darting left and right trying to find her location...
Well, he can't see her—but she can see him clearly, she has no patience running after him, if she showed herself to him he will only escape again and run away like there's no tomorrow, so it's best to freeze him and bring him back to the Facility in his frozen form, it's more convenient that way.
She was about to freeze Zain but to her utter surprise... he disappeared from his eyes, completely.
What the... hell!!??
Where is he?
Where did he go—!?
She just saw him disappeared from her eyes in just a split second, but he can't disappear like that unless he had already gotten his power back! Damn! Did Hannah already transfer some of her power to Zain—if not all?
This completely baffled her!
Where is he?
Dammit, where is he!?
She was glad that she was still in her invisible form, Zain could be lurking somewhere, or an enemy could be lurking nearby waiting to ambush her.
Then she finally saw him again! Zain re-appeared into the clearing...but now he was in a frozen estate.
This time he's not alone!
Someone was standing beside him.
Dang!
Zain was frozen by the guy she had frozen earlier, the guy is no other than the leader of the savages himself, Jagger!
Jagger's knife was pointed at Zain's exposed neck.
Huh? Jessy's eyes widened. How did he unfreeze himself? She was pretty sure every time she freezes someone she was the only one who can unfreeze that person...unless...unless this vampire is more powerful than her or they have the same level of power—is it possible?
But the fact that he can't detect her exact location, his power is not above hers...

Then Jagger's mouth began moving..."Are you there? If you want this guy, you'd better come out now, let me see your face! Don't be a fucking coward and hide in your invisible form! Show me yourself! If you don't show yourself I will drain the blood of this fucking mortal here!" he shouted around him trying to find the invisible enemy lurking in the dark.
Jessy was contemplating what to do...
She was sure she was able to freeze him earlier...! Maybe she could freeze again him for a few minutes, that's it! She will try again to freeze him and snatch Zain away from that guy and teleport themselves into the facility right away! Even if that guy can unfreeze himself after a few minutes, they are already gone.
She waved her hands at the guy freezing him...to her delight she saw him stood still, his body parts no longer moving!
Excellent!
She immediately snatches the frozen Zain away from the guy's grasp and immediately she teleported the two of them back into the prison-like room inside the Facility.
They landed inside Zain's room, the two women were already waiting nervously for their arrival. Jessy put the frozen Zain into the bed.
Hannah and Princess Abigail's worried faces suddenly brightened up, they were rejoicing upon seeing Jessy and Zain suddenly materializes inside the room.
"Hooray! You're back guys! I'm so happy! "Princess Abigail exclaimed in elation, she can finally breathe easier.
Hannah's eyes were covered with tears, when she saw Zain gone from the clearing, she was terrified of what's going to happen to him there in the dark forest, she was afraid he will run into an accident and hurt himself knowing that he was already an ordinary mortal with no power to help himself during dangerous situations, the royal couple will surely kill or punish her for allowing herself to be swayed with Zain's persuasion to bring him outside the Facility. The last two instances when they have gone out, they always come back within one hour, but tonight while in the forest, Zain was trying his best to distract her and keep delaying their return back to the Facility, little did she know that Zain has no plans anymore to come back to the Facility and he wishes to be left alone in the forest to pursue his freedom. Dang! she was used by Zain, and it hurt so deep just the same, although she already suspected that he was just humoring her presence every time they were alone together in the room, in spite of that knowledge, she still allowed him to use her. But what can she do? She loves him so much! Every time he showered her with sweet and flattery words her heart always beat faster for him, he meant so much to her.

"Are you crying, Hannah? Cry no more, Zain is back safe and sound, next time please don't do it again, It's dangerous outside," Jessy warned them. "I will go back to the clinic now," she said grimly.
"Thank you so much, Jess!" Hannah said her face bursting with happiness after seeing that nothing bad happened to Zain only some minor scratches on his arms and feet, if something terrible happened to him she only have herself to blame. She was expecting that Zain will treat her differently starting tonight after he failed to escape from the Facility.
Jessy sighed while observing the pregnant woman's face before she left the room she unfreezes Zain, then she disappeared, already teleported herself back into her room.
Inside her room she discarded her black ensemble and wore a casual clothing attire such as brown cargo pants and a white t-shirt, she slipped her feet into her slipper and left the room walking towards the clinic in a hurry.
While strolling in the hallway her mind wandered back to the leader of the savage vampires. He's very much alive! and probably all alone by himself after all his subjects were killed. He must be thirsty for revenge!
She was engrossed in thinking about him, she didn't notice she was already outside the clinic.
Whew, what a night!
She entered the door and went inside, she smiled to see the girl lying on the bed, she was one of Antonia's ward. She went to the girl's side and rubbed her arms. "How are you?"
"I'm fine," the girl answered.
"That's good, don't be afraid it will be over soon, okay?" Jessy said to the girl.
The girl nodded her head.
"It's alright, Jess. I already explained to the girl what will happen during the blood transfusion process, she will be okay," the doctor explained.
Jessy smiled at the doctor. "Okay, let's start!" she hops into the bed and smiled at the girl never leaving her face the whole time they were undergoing blood transfusion together.

A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
