Chapter 25

"That was what I thought it was right ?" Arianna asked suddenly fixed to a spot. "A gunshot, running, shouting, screaming, the party got ruined". Aurora said lost in thought, hope no harm had come to the agent men "Did our men succeed or did they get killed?" Paul asked. "How were you expecting me to know that Paul we all heard the same thing, and neither of us is Brandon who can find voices". Aurora asked rolling her eyes. "It was actually a rhetorical question, I'm wondering if you usually have difficulty with your literature exams". Paul sneered at her. "No I do not, it's usually one of the smoothest exams every year". Aurora smirked in return. "Oh my God, do you usually steal the exam papers prior to the exam". Paul said faking an horrified expression. "Can you guys shut up and come back to earth". Arianna half screamed "We are on earth". Paul said looking at Arianna like she lost her senses by the gunshot. "Well if you guys are, I'm wondering how we went from the amusement park to a damn literature exam that neither of us ever fails". Arianna replied looking pissed, she had almost peed her pants yet they were talking about exams. "That's something to be proud of, a group of genius friends is hard to come by". "You mean a group of vampire friends right?" "Let's get home right away". Aurora said with urgency in her voice. "Why, what's wrong" "Saint, what do you mean what's wrong more like yeah let's go". "Well those men earlier knew we were vampires, I don't think they are bad people and good for us even if they are but if they were the one who got shot just now". Aurora says and let the words die. "We should pray we do not meet anyone who recognizes vampires on the way else we would be suspected right or even killed".Paul helps her complete the sentence. "Well if we are suspected its going to be accompanied by death trust me". Arianna said obviously getting terrified. "Let's go home". Aurora said with a tone of finalty and they resume walking out of the ghost house. "We need to get to the car as fast as possible, no more talking, sightseeing or buying it's straight to the car". Aurora commands as they walk out the ghost house. "Yes boss". Paul and Arianna chorused at the same time, they were used to her taking charge whenever things were about to go haywire. "We're out, now I hope there is no chaos outside". "Young lad, you're leaving in a hurry was it so scary". The man who had made a bet with Aurora earlier taunted but the trio wouldn't reply him, Aurora had said no talking earlier. " Hey little girl did you pee on yourself and don't want to wait". "I'd suggest you ask old Lam behind the door, the lad won't wait". His colleague nudged him to go inside the ghost house. "You know I don't like going inside there". The man said. "Are you really scared of the ghost house an adult, aren't you ashamed". His colleague joked making a fun of him. "Just for my curiosity". He said and went in to ask old Lam. Old Lam's place is just right behind the door and close to them. "Lam". HE called out but no response. "Lam, it's me pepe". Still no response. He walks to the big cupboard that Lam is usually positioned behind to find the man frozen and he had peed his shorts "Lam, what the hell happened in here, did those lads do something". "I quit ". Lam only said this two words confusing Pepe he had been so sure the kids were running cause they were scared and ashamed but here is Lam shaken like a leaf left out in the cold. "I should go tell old Lam's friend by the door". Pepe thought out loud only to feel a presence behind him. "I am Pepe the guard please don't scare me". He said shaken and turned to see the entire ghost crew behind him in their costume and passes out. "Such a frail man is manning the gate of the ghost house". The first man says and sneers. "The irony isn't lost". The rest chorus and laugh. "Aurora I thought you would at least answer the man at the gate". Paul said "Well I like taunts and joking a awful whole lot but not when I have an empress to protect my image doesn't matter then, okay". "Aurora". Arianna said having tears in her eyes so Aurora had allowed the man sling mud at her cause she wanted to make sure she was safe. "What, you're hurt?" Aurora asked scanning her head to toe. "Aren't you taking your knight duty too seriously I'm at most just a princess right now an unrecognized princess for that matter". *Says who ". "Well, no crown on my head, ever since my parents death the palace had been deserted I have no idea where aunt Fiona is currently and the butlers won't say nothing except not allowing me to anywhere asides school and your houses". "Do you really think you're deserted". "Well it does looks like it doesn't it, I was only relevant as the daughter of living emperor and empress Melville but as the daughter of the late I'm not, now I just have a title". "Look to your left, there's Paul and to your right there's me, I tell you till you climb your throne over the vampires the day would never come where your sides are empty". "Yes Arianna you might not know right now but we're your biggest supporters and we would never leave". Paul said and held her by the left hand. Aurora grabs the left and they make their way to the jeep time to go home. "Final thing, the incidence today would never be repeated to another soul". "Yes boss". THE VEIL ON THE DARK
