My Vampire System novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404 Rumors of the tenth

When Silver was busy explaining the task, and showing the others how to make a small cut, they all thought it was quite easy and simple, but it turns out it wasn’t that easy at all.

After trying it themselves and having a go they found out a few things. The dummy was quite well made and the internal structure inside was done as well.

This made it more realistic causing problems. Some of the students had grown their nails too long and when digging in, dug far too deep, going past the skin and cutting parts they shouldn’t have cut.

Others found it difficult to harden their nails or make them longer. Then when trying to force a cut open, they managed to only make a faint scratch or was damaging the dummy completely.

"Yuck!" a boy shouted, as the fake blood splattered all over his face.

"You have to keep on being careful, bodies are complex things." Silver said. "But this is why we practice. If you make a mistake, wait a while, put your saliva on the dummy to speed up the healing process and try again. Please also allow the dummy to completely heal before allowing the next person to have a go."

Then finally it was Logan and his group’s turn. Cia had finally snapped out of her thoughts and slowly walked other to the others that had surrounded the dummy. Her mind was a bit lost and even though the others could see she was acting strangely, they didn’t know why, but she had been acting strange the whole time they had been there. So it was nothing new and they chose to let it be.

’Layla,’ She thought. ’I need to talk to Layla, I’m sure she will tell me the truth if I ask her, right? But what if she’s in on this as well, why didn’t she tell me anything this whole time. maybe I’m just thinking too much.’

First up to have a go was Fred, he even volunteered himself. Knowing that the others might not be the best. "I’ve done this a few times since my parents have shown me. They knew we would be learning this at some point." Fred said as he hardened his fingernail and then made a small cut along the forearm. It was perfect.

"First you should concentrate on the hardening of the nail, if you get that bit right, then it’s similar to cutting meat with a sharp knife." Fred explained as he went back and allowed Timmy to go next.

His fingernail grew slightly, and straightaway he had gone to try to make an incision on the dummy. But his hand was shaking and Fred could see that he had done so in a rush, not hardening his fingernail enough. Nothing was made other than a small squiggly line looking like a snake on top of the dummy.

"Haha," One of the students from another group laughed. "Well, we couldn’t expect much from a tenth."

"It’s not our fault!" Timmy snapped back in anger.

Hearing this, Silver decided to step in and whispered into the boy’s ear, who then immediately went back to his work and didn’t say a word passed that.

"Don’t worry about it, Timmy." Fred said.

The situation behind the tenths, now not only had Vorden interested but Logan as well. Something was up and they needed to know more if they were going to keep up this fake identity of theirs. And thus Logan had come up with an idea. It might have been strange to ask, but he thought of a way that wouldn’t seem too far fetched. Especially based on all the information he had gathered so far.

"Fred." Logan called out to him. "Can you explain to me why the tenths are being treated this way. You see, my parents didn’t tell me anything. They didn’t inform me of the outgoings on the outside. They didn’t want me involved or to know anything until when I was older."

It took a few moments before Fred could reply, and he looked a little saddened before he said anything.
