My Vampire System novel Chapter 466

Chapter 466 The punisher child

As soon as Bryce headed to the front of the platform, he did his usual to silence the crowd. They were all still rowdy and excited, but with three clacks of his walking stick on the platform floor, it immediately got everyone to stop.

With each hit, the sound somehow managed to be amplified, even though they were outside, it sounded as if it echoed to the point where everyone in the whole crowd could hear the sound.

"Today is the day that Fex Sanguis was born and came into this world, and today he shall be leaving it as well," Bryce said. The same effect was being produced by his voice as with the walking stick, and everyone could hear clearly. "The crimes he has committed are as follows. Harbouring and covering for an illegal, bringing in an illegal to our said world. Covering and refusing to give information on the original vampire responsible. Lying and withholding information to the leaders. Planning to go against the vampire council."

The last words Bryce had used were chosen carefully, but it was clear how others would interrupt it. They would see it as Fex being a traitor. it was saying it without having to say it.

Hearing these words, Silver started to grind the back of her teeth. It wasn't true, all Fex was doing was covering for a friend, he had no intentions of anything like this happening. If the council had only decided to give him a light punishment, Silver would have never gone to earth to inform his friends of what was happening. They would have never come here to try to save him and none of the events happening would of happened, at least this was what Silver thought.

But of course, they would pin everything that happened so far on Fex. It would never be the great council's fault.

"We have found that the thirteenth family have nothing to do with his actions. So their name will not be tarnished, Fex will have his name removed, and he will no longer be part of the thirteenth family.

"However, this also means that his position will no longer be considered when deciding his punishment for his crime. So we have come to the hard decision of this action. He shall be excuted by draining of the blood. A slit will be made from his neck, and his blood shall be kept and offered to another."

Bryce then lifted up his cane and drew out his sword that was hidden within. It was a simple design. It was relatively thin and small so it could fit within the cane itself. But going down the centre of it was a thin red glowing line, indicating that it was a blood crystal weapon.

Edward, who was stood behind the first, looked past him and out to the crowd. Yet the only person he could see was Timmy who forehead was now covered in sweat.

'I guess they won't be coming, after all, perhaps they changed there mind once they saw that all the leaders were present. That is a good thing. I understand you want to save your friend but risking the lives of many of your friends. It's simply not worth it. Live on and come back to your position when you are stronger and make them pay for what they have done. I hope I will still be around by then to see you bring the tenth family back up to its former glory.' Edward thought.

Just then, something could be felt moving past Timmy, like a gust of wind that made his hair flicker slightly and with it a whisper.

"Thank you." A whisper was heard in his ear and what happened next shocked everyone.

Suddenly, all the leaders felt something enter the empty platforms space. They turned to look at the open area that was in front of them, but they could see nothing. However, their eyes started to glow fierce red, and the audience could feel the pressure.

"What's going on?" Amy asked. "Did something happen?"

"I don't know but the bloodlust," Xander replied. "It's like they plan to kill someone."

Then, Bryce started to burst out in laughter.

"Ha, ha you think that silly trick would work on us. I guess the rumours were true, the punisher is but a mere child. And to think I brought out all the leaders for a single person."

When speaking, Bryce was looking in a specific direction, and so were the other leaders, but the crowd could still see nothing.

"I guess there is no use in hiding it anymore." A voice said. In the open space, out from thin air shadows started to flicker and disappear, and in its place, a boy wearing a demon-like mask could be seen.

"Quinn!" Rokene said. "When he said he was coming to save someone is this who he meant, but Quinn...What are you doing? You'll die fighting all of these."

Quinn had used his shadow cloak to get this far past the crowd and the guards that were keeping the group back. He was now stood in the cleared out twenty-meter range and looking towards the platform.

It was a shame that he was caught earlier then he thought, but it proved that the leaders were on another level compared to the other vampires. His shadow cloak hadn't fooled a single one.

While standing there, he started to think of his conversation earlier at the dining table in the tenths castle with the others.

"What!" Layla shouted across the table. "What do you mean you want to do this on your own, that will be impossible."

"You don't understand, a vampire leaders strength is far greater than even my own, I don't want any of you to die." Quinn replied.

"Quinn, I understand what you are saying, but we all knew what we were getting into when we joined," Vorden replied. "It's impossible for you to do this on your own. Besides, I think you're underestimating us. We have survived this far, and we can survive this."

"Quinn, you are thinking of our survival correct?" Logan said. "Then its better for all of us to go together. When I was doing my research, it seems there is a strict number of vampires allowed in the settlement. By now they already know that there is a higher number of people then there should be. If this mission fails, then we're stuck here and we're all dead anyway.

"Higher chance of getting out there alive is if we all fight together."
