Chapter 244 - Trickling Tension



But it hadn\'t stopped Mrs. Davis from opening the closet door. Only that she had turned to look at Melanie, "What happened?" with a slight frown.

Melanie sat on the edge of the bed and placed her hand on her knee, "I accidentally hit my toe to the edge of the bed." Her mother frowned, placing the clothes to the side, and came to sit in front of Melanie.

"Let me see that," said her mother, checking her foot, while Melanie took a quick glance at her mother before looking at the open closet where Simon stood.

He looked like a ghost, hiding in there, and Melanie\'s head started to spin. She saw him slowly step outside the closet, raising her blood pressure, and she wondered if this was the day where she would faint.

Simon raised his hand to his lips as if asking her to stay calm, and he slowly made his way to the door. He opened the door and left the room, where when the door closed, it left a little click sound behind that caught Mrs. Davis\' attention, who turned to look at the door.

"Did someone open the door?" her mother questioned her, and Melanie shook her head.

"I think the sound came from the next dorm," replied Melanie, and she touched her toe, which was perfectly fine. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After her mother was done taking a look at her toe, she asked, "Are the vampires still attacking us?"

"I think they are scared of us. Most of them have gone into hiding, but we found something very interesting. A couple of days ago, a couple was attacked at the nearby forest, and the girl survived. She was found here near your university," informed her mother, getting up and picking up the folded clothes that she was earlier going to put in the closet.

"Why are they scared?" asked Melanie, and Mrs. Davis chuckled.

"They finally know that we will kill them all and won\'t show any mercy to them. These blood sucking leeches, they deserve more than just the wooden stakes running through their chest. And I have made the perfect solution, which is much more effective than Silverwater," there was a prideful smile on the woman\'s face.

Knowing how sharp her mother was, Melanie asked, "Are you sure it is effective?"

"A hundred and one percent. I have tested it on a few vampires, and rogue vampires. One bullet of that potion powder is equal to five stakes in a vampire\'s body. It slows down the vampire\'s movements, making it easier for us to make the kill," explained her mother with a crooked smile. "How about things here? Have you come across any vampires?"

Melanie\'s hands clenched, and she shook her head, "I think they are all humans. So far, neither did I or Conner have caught sight of any suspicious activities," she answered her mother\'s burning question.

"Is that so," hummed her mother, and Melanie nodded.

"You believe there are vampires in here?" asked Melanie, feigning innocence.

Her mother was done picking up her scattered books placing it on the table before standing in front of her. She said, "There is not a place where there are no traces of vampires. It is often told that it is the quietest place that usually collects more of these creatures. I thought it was worth taking a look around."

"Why don\'t you let us do the job?" asked Melanie, but Mrs. Davis shook her head.

"You and Conner need to concentrate on your studies, and don\'t worry. This is just a simple trick that will work just fine by me taking a quick visit to the lunchroom\'s kitchen," her mother assured her with a confident smile. "We already have people on stand by. If they don\'t hear from us, they will be here to catch the possible vampires."

Dread started to fill in Melanie\'s mind, and she carefully said, "Not that I doubt you, mom, but how do you plan to do it?" wanting to know what her parent\'s plan was in Veteris. Her mother pulled out a glass vial from her pocket and showed a colourless liquid in it.

"You see this, Mel. This is my first and the most prized creation, and you will see the effects it will produce if there\'s a vampire who is hiding in here," stated Mrs. Davis, and then said, "Come, let us go have our breakfast. By the way, where is Julie\'s dorm?"

"Um, let me get her. She must have been up late, studying," replied Melanie; leaving her mother in her dorm quickly, she walked to Julie\'s dorm.

Julie was still cuddling Roman, where they both lazed on the bed in the wake of the day. She was drawing circles on his chest when she heard someone knocking on her dorm door. "It must be Mel," whispered Julie. Wearing Roman\'s jacket, she reached the door and opened it.

She was greeted with Melanie looking like a block of ice, and Julie raised her eyebrows.

"We are going to have breakfast, would you like to join us, Julie?" Did Conner come to the girl\'s Dormitorium to Melanie from her dorm? Well that was fast, thought Julie in her mind. "My parents are here to visit me," her friend added.

Julie frowned before nodding her head, "Okay. I will be outside in a minute."

"Cool," replied Melanie and turned away from the front of the dorm.

After closing the door, Julie turned to meet Roman\'s eyes, who had sat up on the bed. "What are Mr. and Mrs. Davis doing here? Mel looked tense," she said in a low voice.

"Looks like something led them here. I will go and alert the others," replied Roman. He grabbed his shirt and jacket, wearing them, he slipped out of the window.

Julie closed the window, and she stepped out of her dorm, making her way to the end of the corridor where Melanie and Mrs. Davis stood.

"Good morning, Mrs. Davis," Julie greeted the woman, who offered her a warm smile.

"Good morning, dear. We just wanted to make sure you kids have been doing alright, and decided to pay a visit," smiled the woman, and Julie gave a nod. "How is your preparation for the exams coming along?"

"So far it seems it is fine, but I think only after I see the test papers will I know if I have prepared myself enough," replied Julie, not exactly speaking about the exam, but more about her being a witch.

They walked to the lunchroom. Mr. and Mrs. Davis slightly stood out as no one had seen them here before, and the place was mostly filled with students.

"Where is Conner? Does he not have his meals with both of you?" questioned Mrs. Davis, and soon Mr. Davis appeared to have joined them, where Julie exchanged a polite greeting with the man.

Julie and Melanie shared a silent look between each other, and Julie could tell that Melanie was soon going to start sweating bullets because of anxiety. She decided to reply to Mrs. Davis\' curious gaze, "Conner said he would join us in the afternoon for lunch. We\'ll probably see him during lunch break."

"Or maybe sooner," muttered Melanie under her breath.

It was because Conner appeared from through the doors of the lunchroom. Before either of Melanie\'s parents could catch a glimpse of Conner, Maximus appeared from behind and pulled Conner outside the lunchroom. That was close, thought both the girls, internally letting go of their breaths for the hurricane of questions that could have hit them.

"Have you brought it along with you?" Mr. Davis asked his wife, and she gave him a nod. "I checked the other places, and so far, everyone seems to be clean."

"The unsuspecting place is where they sin the most," replied Mrs. Davis, and she carefully brought the vial of glass in her hand. After two seconds, Melanie asked her mother,

"I had something to ask you both, if you don\'t mind…"

"What is it, Mel?" her father asked her, waiting for her to speak.

Melanie knew there was no way to tone down and make things subtle therefore, she decided to go for it and said, "Do you think all the vampires are bad? I mean I have met the ones who attacked Conner\'s father, but do you think everyone are like that?"

Her mother placed her hand on Melanie\'s hand, which had been lying on the table. With a sweet smile, she said, "My innocent daughter, if you have a room full of alligators, will you be able to see which is good and bad? They are all going to pounce and eat you when they find an opportunity. What you need to remember is that all vampires are bad."

"But vampires are not reptiles," murmured Melanie, and this was enough for her to receive a glare from her mother.

Mrs. Davis stared at Melanie before she turned to her husband and said, "It is time for us to go to the counter. I will slip into the kitchen and you can distract the man at the counter."

"See you girls in a bit," said Mr. Davis, and they stood up from the table.

"What are we going to do, Julie? They are going to expose the vampires and themselves to the vampires.. It is going to be a disaster," said Melanie in pure panic.
