The Clutches of Lonely Vampires

The Clutches of Lonely Vampires
Truth and Bear


Without much question will face the frown of Elena after returning the horse to the campus stables and continuing with discussions with sir Thomas about the location of ‘refreshing kuda’, and continue with the discussion with sir Thomas about the location of refreshing kuda, Reyand escorted Elena to the front of the cathedral which had green grass stretching wide in front of her. 


The situation of the cathedral seemed deserted, only a few nuns were alternating in and out of the cathedral with friendly smiles greeting little girl Mark.


"In the name of father, son, and holy spirit. Elena." Mark put the scriptures into the pulpit of the cathedral after seeing one congregation come not on his schedule.


Mark touched Elena's head while saying a prayer after a distance did not separate the two.


"Papa's glad you visited, Ela. What's up?" 


Elena hugged the black-robed man anxiously. He seemed calmer after his father took him to sit in one of the cathedral's seats, which had four high towers. More than a hundred long wooden chairs were also lined up, divided into two rows. Right and left, while the middle is left empty. 


"I'm just..." Elena canceled saying it, he continued. The girl threw her face at the nun who entered from the side door. Gambang heart.


"What's up, Ela?" mark repeated, he was secretly able to catch Elena's anxiety. "You worried about papa? Papa's fine." 


Papa would disagree with me going to the northern part of Delucia's dense forest. So anyway, later I was considered unprofessional.


"Ela," Mark touched Elena's head. "Your mother's angry? Or does your mom have a new boyfriend?" Mark squinted his eyes.


"Pa!" Elena shakes her head, how could her father think her mother has a new boyfriend while every weekend Mark visits her ex-wife's house. Stay anyway.


"A week away, I'll have my horse racing tournament" explained Elena nervously. "But Sir Thomas told us to refresh in the northern part of Delucia's dense forest."


Mark's eyes immediately glared warily. The northern region of the dense forest of Delucia is famous for the conception that developed in the era if the vampire nation often combed the area for hunting.


Although the mythology that developed is almost as breezy as the night wind, until now vampire hunters or a group of The Devil's Hunter is still determined to find the truth of the pale human nation. 


"Sir Thomas has to deal with papa first, Ela" Mark said. Although it sounded like a joke, Mark looked at Elena seriously.


Elena nodded, in line with her worried father.


"Actually I also do not want papa, only junior members where can protest." complained Elena weakly. 


"Is that holding you back?" 


Elena paled.


"Papa's sure your mother's still determined to make you an athlete like her." Mark continued.


The thought that kept bothering the two made them ponder. Delucia dense forest is a habitat of wild animals that are still natural. Bear species can still be seen in the outermost areas of the forest. Inner area? No one dared to reach the entire forest except the poachers and the Devil's Hunter group. 


"You just need to be careful and vigilant, Elena" Mark said. "Let's take papa home."

The next day, Elena prepared the equestrian gear well. Last night Julianne provided a wealth of information about the northern region of Delucia's dense forests and the various types of self-protection that Elena could do. So it is not surprising that the girl carries a 55L mountain bag to appease her father.


"Mom." Elena went down the stairs carefully. The only daughter of Julianne and Mark Adair turned her mother's attention away from the dough. 


"I left this morning, mom." 


Julianne touched Elena's cheek with a hand full of flour. "You brought silver like your father said?" Julianne's eyes look amused. 


"Bring, mom. Silver knife. Papa gave him from the cathedral and holy water."  


Julianne snapped for a moment. "Mama's astonished, Ela. Looks like your papa should be Abraham Lincoln's man. She has always imagined her great-grandfather's stories of vampires, witches and demons since childhood. You're perc—"


Elena raised her hand, stopping her mother's barrage. 


"What I understand is that papa becomes a pastor to help people. Mama don't denounce her fear. Grandpa great-grandfather also will not make up a perfunctory story. After all some of the myths are slightly evident by the demonic symbols. Pentagram 666? A baphomet? The nosferatu? And Lucifer? Satanist? We can't deny if papa's fear exists, mom! Never mind, you've split up and are still arguing." ridiculed Elena.


Julianne's chest is stumped. Some of the underground communities held high regard for those dark symbols, but what became of her mind now was how could Elena know? He again stroked Elena's cheek while sighing. 


Elena cleared her throat. "Love you, mom." she said as she exited the house. 


Reyand opened his car door, as soon as the two got into the car. They were joined by fellow equestrian athletes near the dense forested area of Delucia an hour later.


Elena grabbed her jacket, jumped over the puddle. In buildings made of wood, cold air is very cool. The edges of the shady trees seem still covered by fog. 


Elena rolled her eyes lazily, the 55L-sized mountain bag made her friends stupefied.


"Somebody want to camp, Rey? Are you being invited by the holy pretentious child." chirped Sophia, the blonde-haired girl was excited, considering Elena and Reyand were dating but never kissing.


Elena was grim, with a little remaining confidence. The girl took only chocolate, a silver knife, holy water and a compass as she stuffed it into a small backpack.


"If it wasn't for your mother being an ex-athlete, how could a flattened body like yours be able to control a horse!" sophia cynical. 


Reyand nodded, he raised his hand. Stopping Sophia's speech from the rest of her lecture. While apathy Elena made her lover pity even though he could only stroke her head.


"We better focus on this refreshing, Pia" Reyand said.  


Sophia melengos, but before she had time to grumble her own truck horse hauler from the campus stables came with sir Thomas.


Elena. ‘Hayley’. Her smile was as if it was just the horse that made her happy to ignore Reyand.


Elena received the bridle from the campus stables officer, although irritated that her luggage was still in Sophia's gossip, Elena put on a smile as she led Hayley to the wooden fence while tying her bridle there. He stroked his horse's forehead, as well as other equestrian athletes. They were seen putting on horse saddles before riding them. 


Sir Thomas sounded the whistle. "We'll comb the outer area only and stop in front of the forest police post. You understand?" his yell.


Elena looked at Reyand who was busy stroking the mane of his horse. 


"Rey." Elena called out, the blue-eyed man with the white polo shirt and riding boots turned his head with a wry smile.


"I don't want to be left behind by you" Elena said. 


"Suppose it's free competition, Elena. You have to be independent!" Reyand jerked his horse's harness, followed the senior member who had been pounding with his horse, stomping on the asphalt road that changed with the rock path afterwards. 


The lush foliage and the height of the trees block the spring sunlight from entering into the edge of the dense forest. Elena dyed at the crossroads. 


"This is not in accordance with the briefing earlier." muttered Elena, the forest police post has been passed. An invisible company, only the sound of the clattering of horse legs could be heard from a distance. 


"Hayley, where are we going?" Elena dyed, shrubs rising on the left right of the path, moss reaching rocks and tree trunks. The sound of nature was thick all around Elena and the scent of rotting tree trunks contributed to the growing unease. 


Elena jerked the reins of her horse in nervousness. Hayley accelerated her four legs into the dense forest area of Delucia which she believed was the path her friends had passed.


Getting deeper, Elena let out a dramatic sigh. He told Hayley to slow down under the shade of the trees. Elana jumped down from her mount. His hands wiped away the sweat that flooded his body. 


"Oh my God, where are they?" 


Elena paced around, knowing that something was not right was happening to her. 


"Am I lost, compass." Elena turned her back bag while taking out the directional item. He turned around, trying to calm his racing mind. For a moment he looked up at the sky. 


An owl observed him with glaring eyes.


"Oh my God, papa." Thirst made Elena gulp down the holy water that should have been used to drive away evil creatures while sitting down and yet had time to get tired Elena ended flapping the owl wings and frantic neighing of her horse made her jump in shock. 


From the direction of the eastern bushes, a huge black bear ran towards him.


"Hayley, Hayley." cried Elena as she ran as fast as possible from the bear's ambush that kept trying to catch her. Elana ran with a constantly turbulent heart, ill-fated her unyielding legs over the rugged contours of the ground making her yawl at the bushes that led to the ravine, she rolled. Feeling his body crumble then drifted like something was bugging him from the ridiculous death threat. 


"You, who are you?" Elena's eyes closed.
