My Vampire System novel Chapter 607

Chapter 607 Turn the tide

The first group of citizens led by the co-founder Linda had entered through the teleporter. Many of them were visibly nervous and unaware of what was really going on. Linda had only told them a few details, that this was a place where they could stay while the Sunshields were attacking.

At the same time, she was also brutally honest to them all. There was a chance that they might not be able to return back to the Crow’s base or the planet at all. Many of them trusted her and the Crows, they knew that they were fighting for their home, so they couldn’t complain and went through the teleporter.

However, Even Linda was a bit nervous about where they were about to go, even she hadn’t seen what the spaceship was like. Stepping through the teleporter, they had entered a large empty room and waiting for them was Peter.

The group were still nervous and bickering, twisting their heads around trying to get a sense of where exactly they were.

"Where are we?" One person asked.

"What planet is this on?"

"Is it safe to be here, is it under the protection of one of the other big three?"

The questions and comments continued, and Peter was beginning to grit his teeth in frustration. He didn’t like how they were acting, especially since they had given them safe refuge and asked for nothing in return.

Simply put, Peter wasn’t good at dealing with these situations, and he had a short fuse with his emotions. Linda, upon seeing this, went over to Peter to make a suggestion.

"Why don’t we give some of them a tour around the place. Maybe it will take their mind off things?"

"Anything to get these people to shut up," Peter said.

Both Fex and Quinn had warned Linda about Peter’s aggressive nature, that was mostly to do with his transformation. It was a complete 180-degree turn from when he was human Peter.

A small group of people were left behind in the room the teleporter was set up in. They would wait there in case more people came from the other side, which was expected as a few more citizens gathered and the injured were coming through from the battle.

The tour commenced with Peter leading the people, and many of them were amazed at what they were seeing. The facilities were clean, modern, and nicer than anything they had at the base. The whole place was spotless as it looked like no one really lived here, even the bedrooms were state of the art.

Linda was impressed, when they said they had a large spaceship she was never expecting something like this. It certainly was a place that they could use as a base together. This was based on just seeing the equipment and rooms. In total, the numbers of Crows, including the members of the faction, were around one thousand. At the same time, the ship seemed like it had the facilities to cater for double the amount.

’Quinn, I don’t think you realise how much you have done.’ Linda thought.

"Wait, is this a spaceship?" One of the members shouted as they looked outside the large glass window.

With the tour, Peter had taken them to every room apart from the command centre. He didn’t want anyone touching buttons and unexpectedly setting something off, but now that they were in the main centre hall they could see outside through the windows.

"I thought we would be moving to a planet. Are we really going to be living here, what about hunts, how will we get food?" One man had started to panic, and soon it started to spread to the others.

The idea of living on a spaceship for most of their days didn’t sit well with some of them.

"Calm down everyone, we don’t even know if it will be the case," Linda said. "There’s a good chance that they will be able to take care of the Sunshields and we can head back to the Crow’s family."

"Like that will happen." A man muttered. It was quiet, but there was one person who had better hearing than most of them on board, and he was getting annoyed by the man’s attitude. "You just said a second ago there is a chance that we won’t be going back. Which one is it?"

"What did you say?" Peter shouted.

"I’m just being realistic okay, when Linda said she had a solution I thought we were moving to another Planet under the Graylashes. We could have even surrendered to the Sunshields and just joined up with them or the others. Why the reason to fight?"

"You don’t understand what we saw," Linda said, clenching her own fist in anger now. "The Sunshields didn’t even give the Eagles the option to surrender when they attacked. They made sure that every single person was dead when they took over their planet. And the Graylashes, they didn’t help us then so why would they help us now?

"To those at top, this is a fight between them, while everyone else is just a bunch of flies they want to get rid of or toss to the side."

"And what are we meant to do?" The man replied. "Just run away for the rest of our lives on this spaceship, never having a place to call home?"

This was the last straw for Peter. He walked over to the strange man, and his eyebrow was twitching. The others who were around him started to back away.

"Look, Quinn didn’t force you to go on this ship. If you want, you can go back to the Crows. Why don’t you try explaining to them that you want to surrender to them? We are fine without any of you. We don’t need you.

"You’re being incredibly selfish right now. There are people fighting for their lives at the base, for a chance for you to return home. They could have just come here with the rest of you, but they know the ship isn’t a permanent solution."

Peter was now right up in the man’s face, and he gulped at his presence. The next thing he knew, Peter had thrown out his fist and hit him on the chin, knocking him out with one punch.
