Aaric roared loudly when he felt the warm blood soaking his clothes and the excruciating pain began to numb all his senses.

His body swayed and fell to the ground. But it didn't stop there, one of the vampires came up to him, the same vampire that Aaric had thrown to the other side of the parking lot earlier, and now the vampire was doing the same thing to him.

​​

Aaric's body flew several meters before hitting the windshield of a car, making the safety alarm go off.

Shard after shard of the car's glass windshield scratched his body, making new wounds while blood flowed more profusely from the gaping wounds.

For ordinary humans, it was unlikely that they could survive such an injury, much less be able to rise again and try to fight back.

But, unfortunately for the vampires, Aaric was a soul possessor, so before his heart actually stopped, he would continue to live and that was what happened.

Trembling and bleeding profusely, Aaric stood leaning against the car that had been hit by him, making the five vampires frown.

There were not many soul- possessors that they knew, some even have never seen this type of creature at all, therefore they did not know the extent of the creature's strength.

"He is still alive?" one of the vampires muttered, looking amazed at the state of Aaric who was still able to move.

And without waiting any longer, the five of them immediately moved forward, this time with the intention of finishing off Aaric at one collective strike. Their claws and fangs in a position ready to slash their foe at once and take Mila away from there, completing the mission their king had given them.

On the other hand, Mila was seen sitting motionless in her seat behind the steering wheel of a luxurious car. She was watching intently as the five vampires continued beating up Aaric, not giving the soul- possessor a chance to catch his breath or defend himself.

However, Mila didn't have the slightest intention of helping Aaric, because she wanted to know what the soul- possessor would do. Would he die? Or would his soul seek the nearest human body and possess it, as he always did? Well, it was a shame Mila never saw the actual process...

But, maybe this time it was her chance to see everything firsthand.

When Mila was busy witnessing the brutality of the vampires, someone knocked on her car door which left her quite surprised.

That was Dr. Ellen.

Actually, the woman didn't knock, but smacked her fist against the windshield with anger clearly visible on her face, as if she had given a chance, Mila would be dead in her hands by now.

"Open! Open this damn door! Open!" Ellen shouted angrily. She kept pounding her fists against the closed car window, while occasionally trying to open the locked car door.

Meanwhile, Mila who was inside did nothing, she turned her attention from Aaric to the female Doctor.

"OPEN THIS DOOR!" Ellen exclaimed angrily, confusing Mila as to why was Ellen so angry with her in the process.

And when Mila didn't do what she wanted her to, Ellen looked around her, searching for something she could use.

That was when she saw a large rock not far from her and immediately, she took the stone.

"Oh, shit!" Mila's instinct told her that Ellen would use the rock to force open the car she was in. "Why is this woman going crazy like this?!" Mila cursed loudly as she moved to the seat next to her because Ellen intended to destroy the window glass on the door beside the steering wheel.

At first, Mila wanted to get out of the car, but then she realized that Ellen had suddenly stopped screaming.

The woman stood transfixed with unfocused but wide open eyes as the stone in her hand fell down with a thud before shattering into five pieces.

"What happened?" Mila mumbled to herself when she witnessed this strangeness. She didn't get down from the car and instead leaned toward the window beside the steering wheel to have a closer look at what had really happened to Ellen.

The woman was still in the same position, but a few seconds later, she lifted her head and Mila could see that Ellen's eyes had turned red for a while before returning to their original color.

This took Mila by surprise and she missed Ellen's next move. Because after that, the latter smashed the rear windshield with her elbow, then reached in her hand to unlock the door beside the steering wheel from the rear glass she broke.

After the driver's door opened, Ellen got in and started the car, ignoring the still stunned Mila.

"Aaric?" Mila asked finally, as Ellen drove the car backward, to avoid the five vampires in front of them.

"Yes, Mila Munchkin?" Ellen smiled at her before returning her focus to driving the car.
