Vampire Vendetta Read Free Page A

Kenji looks at me with a sort of sadness in his eyes as if he can sense my internal turmoil. “Isis is not the leader of this new coven Ament, as you and the rest of the covens have been made to believe. The leader of Ament is Ramses himself. He has a vendetta against Isis that has smoldered within him since before you were born into the darkness.”  I ponder what he says for a moment, and as I go over the events leading up to my assignment I realize that Ramses had his hand in everything. It was Ramses who first came to our coven with the news of the first attacks. It was Ramses who gave us all of the information that led up to me going through Invictus. Matter of fact Ramses is the only one who knew where the Ament was located. It begins to dawn at me as I sift through my memory, that Ramses, is the only name that creeps up in every aspect of Ament appearance.  I need to get to the bottom of this mystery and I can see that I will need Kenji’s help to succeed. “Kenji if I help you escape; will you assist me in getting to the bottom of this or are you just going to run away?”  Kenji laughs “Where will I run to Eva? This is not my time where will I go?” I see the logic in this and begin to formulate a plan.
     
    Getting out of our cells is the easy part, getting out of the underground compound is a different story altogether.  You see in the year 1887 the humans became outraged when they found out that many of their missing persons cases were the work of vampires. They began to hunt us during the day when we were at our weakest; and our numbers began to dwindle rapidly. Vampire hunters started to rise in numbers and soon there was an all out war against humans and the vampires. Soon we were no longer able to hunt and feeding became impossible for our kind as governments began to enforce curfews before sundown. By the year 1910 most of us had perished and would continued to do so if we had not been saved by one who had lived on this earth as a vampire almost since the fall of man. This savior was Ramses; he found us dirty and hungry living in the sewers, and eating rats to survive. He went around the world for years finding vampires and teaching us from the book of Semele; how to live and how to survive. He then began creating covens and building underground sanctuary for those of us who had to live in darkness. He formed a counsel of the oldest and wisest of our kind; and soon we had a thriving society again, albeit a society that thrived in darkness. By the year 2000 the people of the underworld had begun to live a mostly normal life, through science we were able to find ways to go out in the daylight without burning or turning to stone. Soon some of the world’s leading doctors, politicians and scientists were vampires. We learned that by mixing animals blood with gold we could satisfy our lust for human blood, a similar mixture was also taken internally to allow us to be out in daylight for hours at a time. We were by no means perfect, but the brutal massacre of humans had ceased and this kept us safe for a time. Ramses had been vital in helping all of us to survive and for hundreds of years it was he who was our teacher, father, and our guide.  He was an immortal that one could follow and know that he would keep you safe no matter what; we followed in the wisdom he imparted upon us without question. If Isis is the Queen of the damned; Ramses had surely become our king. As time has moved on we have become more sophisticated in our approach, with the invention of Invictus, we have been able to travel through time and rescue some of our sisters and brothers from the slaughters of our darkest days. Invictus has its downfalls as well; one of them being that you cannot remain in a time period for more than two days. If you do not reopen the portal before the timer counts down on the second day you will be trapped there, until someone else activates Invictus, and comes to rescue you. If no one comes to retrieve
