Yeah I know there's some grammer/spelling/typos in the chapters I sometimes just overlook some things when I'm editing it I don't have other people editing my work so I miss a lot of stuff... anyways enjoy Chapter 3... I like this chapter...
Chapter 3:
I went to bed that night feeling a bit hurt and a bit happy. I had been complimented and I had been hit. I went to my dormitory to find the man we all called Mr. Tiny there. At this time there were rumours going around because of Harkat's message; so when I saw him I had thought it had something to do with the vampaneze. Then I remembered it was the Feast of the Undead.
"We can't talk about any vampire business during the Feast of the Undead…" I said to him as I was about to open the door.
Mr. Tiny nodded and then whispered to me, "The time has almost come for something dear to you to be lost!"
As I was about to say something back to him he drifted into the darkness of the halls. I went to search after him but there was no one there. Had this been another hallucination from being hit by the staffs?
I figured I had been going completely insane so I dragged my heavy, tired feet into my room and then collapsed into my coffin.
Everything's so weird; usually the Feast of the Undead is usually a bigger celebration than this. I guess since the whole vampaneze thing came about everyone's a bit edgy. Though Darren seems to be having a well enough time, considering this is his first time at the mountain… I thought.
Those were my last thoughts for the night as I drifted off into my deep slumber. I don't remember my dreams that night; if there were any.
I awoke to Kurda shaking me madly.
"WHAT!" I shouted.
"Shhhh, jeez man it's early, get a grip!" Kurda whispered.
"I don't have a grip, but you sure do! Let go of my shoulders!" I said back, my eyes were still closed I didn't want to look at the 'bright' light, though lights weren't exactly 'bright' at vampire mountain.
He let go of my shoulders and then whispered rather harshly, "Wake up before I bite your neck off!"
"Heh, you wouldn't bite my head off, my blood is poisonous to you. I don't wanna get up just 3 more hours!" I yawned.
"I believe the correct term is 5 more minutes…" Kurda replied.
"5 minutes won't do I need 3 hours, I need my beauty rest!" I said.
"You're right you do!" Kurda laughed.
My eyes shot open and I sat right up.
"Did you just call me ugly?" I asked.
"No it was an evil ploy to get you up now GET UP!" Kurda said as he pushed my coffin on the side causing me to roll on the ground.
"OW! If I was human I could've died!"
"But you're not so therefore you didn't die!" Kurda winked as he pulled me up.
I rubbed my aching head from the night before and from tumbling and hitting it in the exact spot.
"Okay so why did you want me up?" I asked calmly getting off the stone floor.
"Well I know it's the Feast of the Undead and everything, but I wanted to talk to you about the vampaneze…" Kurda whispered.
"And that's why we're up so early?" I wondered.
"No, I wanted to get a good seat in the room where we eat…" Kurda replied.
"Ever heard of calling rooms by their names?"
"Yeah I've heard of it…"
He laughed and so did I. We walked out of my room and into the Dining Hall. He picked the table farthest from the food and in the darkest corner.
"Yes, let's sit in the deepest darkest corner to make ourselves look suspicious… man Kurda you're bad at sneaking…"
"Yeah, I no I'm terrible…" Kurda replied, I could see a hint of suspicion in his eyes but I figured that was just my aching head's doing.
I walked over to get some nice bat broth, because it was warm and could make my head feel less painful. I also got a loaf of bread, for Kurda and me to share. He was behind me getting his own bat broth and then we sat at a table a little less suspicious and began our 'banned' conversation.
"Okay so let's talk about what we came to talk about…" I yawned.
"Yes we should… okay let's see do you honestly believe we should join clans?" Kurda asked.
"Well it depends Kurda, I mean if they're going to attack us, and if there is this lord that's going to kill us all then… well no. But if this is all a lie, which I don't think it is because Mr. Tiny said so then maybe it's considerable…" I replied.
"That doesn't really help me much Gavner…" Kurda whispered.
"The real question, is do you believe that we should join clans?" I inquired.
"I strongly believe that Gavner. I have friends that are vampaneze and they know nothing of this lord," Kurda answered.
"Or maybe he just hasn't risen yet, anyways Kurda I think you should keep a little distance in the meantime, because with what Mr. Tiny said it will be chaotic," I stated, "anyways Kurda I think that's all there is for me to say and I need to go- er talk to… um… Arra… about… uh stuff that is confidential… so uh see you!"
I was always terrible at goodbyes and so I left Kurda with a bewildered look on his face. As I always did, but I really did want to go to Arra because I wanted to see how she was doing after that defeat earlier on, yesterday. Though she was probably asleep, I sighed and went to the gaming halls to see Vanez instead because I figured she was probably asleep. Vanez was always there even though he was off duty he was always there. When I entered the hall I couldn't believe what I saw. Larten and Arra were… k-kissing on the bars. Maybe this was out of surprise but I gasped rather loudly causing Arra and Larten to tumble off the bars onto the floor. They looked up at me and blushed madly. Again there was no one in the hall, how early was it?
"Um I can explain…" Larten blushed.
This was the first time I had seen color in Lartens face, except for the time when we were getting up the mountain and I had to walk around in my boxers and he was barking with laughter. I personally like pink elephants.
"Erm, do you really want to explain?" I asked, "Or better, do I really want to know why you too are here really early on the bars making out?"
"Well maybe you do!" Arra laughed.
Arra made me blush and then I turned around and said, "Um, I'll be seeing you guys later I'm going back to bed, or maybe this is all a vivid dream…"
