The Last Embrace Chapter 302
Advertisement
King Antone and his men gathered in the conference room inside the Facility, they were quite a vision to see, all dressed in a white cloak. He had already dispatched half of his men to the Habitat, they will be on standby mode just in case the bats will attack the Habitat as well.
"Your highness, the Facility was swarmed with thousands of bats, each of those deadly bats was trying to penetrate the shield. But none of them has succeeded yet," the leader of the king's men reported.
"Aside from the bats, have you seen anyone commanding them?" the king asked.
The guy shook his head. "Negative, your highness, the leader must be hiding in the shadow and will only come out after we show ourselves first. I guess the bats were used as a front to lure us out in the open."
"We must not alert the bats, we will have our quiet exit in the Habitat and attack the bats behind their back, this way we can also lure out who is responsible on bringing the bats here, but we must be careful because the bite of a single bat can be deadly...everyone try not to get bitten by the bats!" King Antone announced loud and clear. This plague of bats was utilized by the late leader of the savage vampire once, which means whoever had pulled this stunt can be a relative or direct descendant of that fallen leader.
The king sighed.
This is not the time to remember about the past.
They have to move now!
Once the bats can enter the Facility, all hell will break loose, it will be hard to track them one by one.
Then he called twenty of his men and addressed them. "You will attack the bats first, be extra careful if you feel that you were already bitten, pull back at once! We will send another twenty men to face the bats!" the king said.

"Yes, your highness!" the men said in unison and left the place.
Jessy barges into the conference hall unannounced. "Father!"
"What is it, child?"
"I will fight the enemy alongside with you, I mean I will annihilate the bats!" she declared bravely while catching her breath.
"No, child. You must remain here inside the Facility. Whatever happens outside do not meddle in the chaos, just in case the bats finally entered the Facility and began creating havoc, you must guard our clan together with the queen. I want you to stay here guarding our clan so that we can fight outside with peace of mind. We will try to defeat the bats and their leader as soon as possible to minimize damage!"
"B-but Father!" Jessy protested, she doesn't like the king's order.
"No buts...child, that is my order!" the king said in a hard tone.
Jessy retreated and was now sulking in the corner.
"Alright, let's move down into the tunnel towards the Habitat!" King Antone barked his order.
The king and five hundred of his men exited the conference room, heading towards the tunnel connecting the Habitat and the Facility.
Jessy was left alone in the conference room, still sulking, unable to comprehend why she can't fight alongside the king's men!?
Hmm, who says she can't watch what's going on outside? she grinned mischievously.
What is the use of being powerful only to be cast aside... idle in the sideline?
Not her!
She quickly readies herself and initiated the teleportation process.
...
Outside the Facility.
The first twenty vampires that attacked the bats were being swarmed by deadly mammals. Within just a few minutes their white cloak can no longer be seen due to being swarmed by the bats after the mammals were done with their bodies, the king's men fell in the ground, dead.
King Antone and his men looked in despair and sadness...

Hidden behind the body of the tree, Jagger was smirking. He won't show himself unless he will see the king first, all the bats may perish and die, he doesn't care at all, if he can kill the king tonight that's a victory for him even if he will die alongside with him.
Armed with knives, arrows and spears, another twenty vampires charged at the bats, they fought bravely...but still the same thing happened...the vampire bats swarmed the vampires and devoured the vampires' flesh...
Oh no!
Jessy can no longer stomach the deaths of the forty vampires...how long does she have to wait? She had to act now! She can no longer see Jagger anywhere, the only way to lure him out is to trick him!
She gathered twenty medium sizes rocks at the back of the Habitat...then she starts waving her hands molding them into the form of the king's men, complete with a white cloak ensemble. Then she transformed herself into the king's image and breathed life to the rock that has vampire images and controls their movements in her head.
King Antone was about to order 100 of his men to attack the bats, but to his surprised another set of twenty vampires flew above their heads going to the direction of the bats...all the king's men looked at the king beside them in confusion and stared at the king who just hovered above them a while ago.
"Your highness, you had a twin!?" they were bewildered.
King Antone brows furrowed as he stared at the person who impersonated him, that person was now hovering above the Facility, then to their surprise, the fake king grows fire in his hands and the twenty vampires also did the same, then they began hurling fires at the bats, their movements were synchronized, and to everyone who saw the spectacle...one can say that the one who controlled the vampires was their leader.
Dead burnt bodies of bats littered around the ground surrounding the Facility. As the amazing twenty-one team continues hurling fire to the bats utilizing the fire originating from their palms, the bats were also swarming to their bodies covering their head to toe.
What greatly surprised the king was that his impersonator and his entourage were still standing tall and continue hurling fire to the bats, not minding that the bats were currently sucking at their blood, it's kind of mind-boggling and unbelievable how they survived!? It only means one thing, they were not real vampires, but the one who controls the puppet was the real deal.
There are only two people who can do this...
It's either Jessy or Adam.
...
Behind the thick body of the tree, a few meters from the Facility.
Jagger was looking at the spectacle a few yards away.
With the rate that was going on his minions won't be able to survive any longer, they will be burnt to death, one by one. He noticed that the king and his men were busy hurling fire at the bats, he wondered why the bats can't sink their fangs on the bodies of the enemies?
Dammit!
This pisses him off!
Enough of his anger now is the perfect time to attack the king while he was busy!
Jagger holds his spear tightly and with lightning speed approached the king from behind and plunged the spear into the king's body with all his strength.
Jessy felt the pointed spear strike on her back but unable to penetrate her skin, she looked over her shoulder to investigate who rammed the spear on her body...
Dang!
It's Jagger!
