Hey guys, another good chapter's coming up!
Ashton: actually I don't speak German, but I love all kinds of languages. I'm working on German lately so I thought why shouldn't I use it???

(And it starts with Connor's pov)
Connor was on the ground with even a bigger grin on his tanned face than before.
"Ahhh. Sweet earth!", he sighed." it's been too long since my feet touched the land. At least I don't have the fear of falling on wet wood anymore".
Aamir smirked.
"And having your face shoved in the toilet", he said, amused.
They laughed when a deep flush appeared on Connor's face. They all remembered when it had been storming outside a few days ago, and Connor and slipped. Fortunately, for Connor, there was no one down there except Aamir and Jacoby.
"You must hurry, mister tempest, or you're going to be late, I daresay", jacoby said." Grace is waiting for you inside the academy. I'm fascinated by the connection of you two. You two're telepathic. I wonder how she knew you were coming".
"Grace's here? I don't believe it!" Connor asked, so surprised that he didn't really hear Jacoby's long speech.
"Follow me", Jacoby said sighing.
He and Aamir led Connor past the academy gates. Connor didn't need to see the sign to tell him what it said. He knew it already.
"Connor!"
Connor lifted his head to see his twin sister rush towards him.
He caught her in his arms and hugged her hard. Grace had been away from him for a while but it seemed like a year to him. Grace was frailer than before and she'd grown paler which added to Connor's worries for his sister.
"Grace? What happened to you?" Connor asked as they pulled away.
"Nothing", she replied, smiling. "It's been a long time since I last saw you".
"Tell me about it", Jacoby rolled his eyes.
"Urn…can we go inside? I need to tell you something", Grace said uneasily.
"Why inside?" Connor asked curiously.
"Because it's …" Grace lowered her head, her lower lip trembling.
"We'll leave you two in privacy", Aamir said and dragged Jacoby away.
"Hey!" jacoby cried as he slogged with Aamir.
"Now what is it, Grace?" Connor asked, turning back to his sister.
Grace suddenly turned pale. She didn't say anything. She bit her lip nervously.
"Grace! You're going to make me irked, you know", he said. Connor was slowly feeling the dread. If something happened to the Vampirates, Connor didn't care. All he cared was that his sister shouldn't get involved in it but it already seemed that she was involved.
"Well…um…I don't know how to say this but…" Grace stammered." Oh Connor, it's so dreadful! The Vampirate captain has disappeared!"
Connor didn't believe his ears.
"What?" he asked surprised.
Grace nodded, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"That's why I'm here.", she told him. Lorcan's incharge of the ship and you know he hasn't got the power which the captain does. That's why he sent me here, to be safe."
"So how did the captain disappear all of a sudden?" Connor asked.
"I don't really know". Grace confessed." We went to see him in his cabin-you know me and Darcy. We wanted to discuss something about the feasts. And-and when we got there, his cabin was all pell-mell. The floor was covered in blood".
She broke down completely. Connor had never seen his sister in this way before. Grace seldom cried.
As he hugged her again, muttering useless comfort words in her ear, his heart seemed frozen with shock.
The Vampirate captain had always been strong and he displayed an aura of infinite power. How could he disappear like that? And especially all of a sudden?
He knew that the Vampirates needed their captain. Without him, more rebels would protest and maybe even take over the ship.
Where was he?
