"Whoa! I'm a Vampire General!" I said while Larten and I were walking to the infermery " Alex, stop we'll only be Generals until they-" Larten looked over to one of the cave doors and he saw two dark figures standing behind it. " Alex, look at the door." he said " Vampires or Vampaneze." I asked " I don't know, they look-" he said dumbfounded We went and got a few guards and we opened the door. We entered the cave to find that there were two figures sitting down. They looked really scared. " Who are you? State your business in Vampire mountain!" one of the guards said " Don't you mean Vampaneze mountain!" they yelled pulling out swords. I quickly got two throwing stars out of my belt and threw them at the Vampaneze's wrists. They cut into their wrists and they dropped their swords. " You asshole!" they yelled We slowly went up to them, weapons drawn and ready for anything. But this time they ran away. " We better baracade these doors, they looked like they were gonna kick it in." one of the guards said " Good idea." I said We got unused spears and we stuck them out of the door, so that if someone DID try and open the door, the would be speared.After we were done, I went to the infermery to see how Mykalanne and Jaclyn were doing. I went into the room to see Mykalanne trying to bribe the nurse for more morphine and Jaclyn sitting there watching TV. " It's nice to see that you guys are doing well!" I said sarcasticly " Oh shush." Mykalanne said I sat down and started cleaning the blood off of my stars. " You had a run in with them?" Mykalanne asked " Yeah. They were standing behind one of the doors over there." I said pointing at the door." So what happened to you guys yesterday?" " Well, we were heading up the mountain when one of the Vampire generals saw us and ran towards us. He told Mr. Purl that there were Vampaneze down there and that he needed him to help fight them off. I think his name was Kurda. Gavner didn't want us in it so we started to run up one of the caves but the Vampaneze cut us off. And then Kurda killed Gavner." Mykalanne said starting to cry " Oh-" I said looking away " So we heard that you and Larten were promoted to Generals." Jaclyn said " Yup, we were sworn in yesterday." I said. Just then Larten walked in. " How are you two doing today." he asked " Just fine Larten, just fine." Jaclyn said "Alex, be ready to fight anytime today, the Princes think that the Vampaneze are going to attack." He said 'Will do." I said I took out all my weapons and started cleaning and sharpening them. Then I got out my battle dress, a long black cloak with metal plates sewn into them. " Alex, you look like a freekin grim reaper." Mykalanne started laughing " Mykalanne, your gonna be wearing the same thing in about 5 minutes because your going into battle too!" I said Mykalanne looked shocked. She got out her blunt sword and started sharpening it. " Thats more like it Mykalanne." I said laughing I got out one of my knives and gave it to Jaclyn just incase she was still in bed when they attacked. Just then one of the doors blew open. Its begun!
