The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 48: The Haunting Questions
He looked back, but Tania wasn’t there. He quickly scanned his surroundings. He couldn’t find her anywhere. He ran to the other end of the hallway. Still nothing. He called her name, but there was no response."Strange!" Jack muttered absentmindedly. "Where did she go? Disappeared in such a short time?"He started licking his lower lip with his tongue, something he did when he was trying to think. Suddenly, from a distance, a wolf howled in a mournful tone. That sound shattered the stillness of the night. Unconsciously, Jack flinched. Even in this heat, he began to feel cold. A strange terror engulfed him. He couldn’t stand there any longer. He quickly went to his room, closed the door and windows, and lay down.Despite everything feeling odd, he fell asleep soon after. He woke up from a nightmare. He saw himself standing in a large open field. Overhead, thousands of bats were flying. But these weren’t ordinary bats. They were bloodsucking bats. Vampires.In the dark, he fumbled for t
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 49: The Thrilling Tennis Match
Tania’s lips no longer held that mysterious smile. Her face was kind of tense, and her eyes had a sympathetic look. It seemed like she was feeling bad about Jack’s situation."Why is she doing this?" Jack asked himself, silently. But he couldn’t find an answer. Tania was such an odd girl. You could even say she was mysterious. Jack's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing sound of the telephone.Getting up from her seat, Tania lifted the receiver from the cradle and placed it to her ear. "Hello." There was silence for a moment. She seemed to be listening to someone on the other end. Then she said, "Yes... Yes... She’s here. Please hold on, I’ll give it to Mrs. Arnold." Looking at Dolly Auntie, she said, "Auntie, your call."Mrs. Arnold got up from the table and went to the phone. She took the receiver from Tania’s hand and placed it to her ear."Who... Mr. Gibson!! Yes... Yes... go ahead. No... no, now is not a good time?" There was a brief silence. After listening to the other side
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 50: Harry’s Trick
The boy is about their age. He might be a year or a year and a half older. Red hair. A face filled with brown freckles. His eyes are closed in pain. After Jack, Max, and Tulip rushed over. Lisa arrived a little later. She was supposed to be the first one to come. After all, the boy was closest to her. Luna was seen running over. Eliza and Peter followed behind, walking.Jack was quite shaken seeing the boy’s condition. Looking at Max and Tulip’s faces, he realized they were also shaken. However, it seemed that nothing had happened to Lisa, Eliza, and Peter. In fact, they had an expression of annoyance on their faces.“He needs to go to the hospital,” Jack said.“He doesn’t need to go anywhere,” Peter said, in an indifferent tone.Jack was surprised by Peter’s words. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Why?”“Because he’s fine,” Lisa answered.Jack couldn’t understand what they were saying. Finally, he said a bit more forcefully, “What are you all talking about? The boy is seriously inju
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 51: Cassie’s Secret Smile
They were watching Jack's actions from a distance. Even after such a long time, they became suspicious when Harry didn't get up. Suddenly, Max ran off. Luna and Tulip followed him. Then Peter and Lisa followed. Lastly, Eliza arrived.Just by looking at Jack's serious expression, they understood that something happened to Harry. He wasn’t pretending anymore. Something was seriously wrong with him.“We need to get him to the hospital quickly,” Jack suddenly said.“What happened to him?” Eliza asked.Jack avoided answering the question. He looked at Peter and asked, “How far is the hospital from here?”“It’s not very far,” Lisa answered on Peter’s behalf. “It’s about five or six miles away.”“Oh,” Jack exhaled in relief. He signaled to Max and Peter and said, “Grab him. We need to get him into the car.”“But what happened to him?” Eliza repeated her earlier question.“I don’t know,” Jack said in a detached manner. Max looked at him and furrowed his brow. Jack looked back at Max. Their ey
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 52: A Dangerous Realization
Peter was driving the car. Sitting next to him was Jack. The others were sitting in the back. Everyone was sitting silently. No one was speaking. The sun had set a long time ago. But the red glow of the twilight in the western sky had not completely faded yet. The birds were returning to their nests. Their dark silhouettes were visible against the red sky. The sky looked strangely beautiful. Through the car's windshield, Jack was gazing absentmindedly at it, soaking in the beauty. After a while, the car took a right turn and entered a narrow road shaded by large trees. From there, the sky was no longer visible. Jack lost the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the twilight. He quietly stared ahead. There was a thick darkness there. The Jeep's headlights were cutting through the darkness. But Jack kept staring into the dark. Saying "staring" would have been wrong, though—he was actually sitting, lost in thought. Thoughts were racing through his mind at lightning speed.“Was Cassie looki
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 53: Tania's Suspicion
A bat appeared in the sky from somewhere. It was so big that it covered the entire moon. And that shadow was falling on Jack. Lost in a strange daze, Jack wandered off. He absentmindedly stared at the sky. The bat’s eyes were glowing like fire. It was hissing and coming closer."Hey, what are you staring at over there?" Max called out, raising his voice.Jack’s trance broke at his call. He froze for a moment. "N-n... nothing. I’ll be right there," he said, then looked up at the sky again. The bat was exactly where it had been. But it was nowhere to be seen now. He quickly scanned the entire sky. Gone. Nowhere to be found.From the other side, Max’s impatient voice was heard. "What, are you still not coming?"Without saying anything else, and without looking in any other direction, Jack shouted toward them. Tania must have been waiting for them, as she opened the door already. She was probably sitting in the living room, waiting for them. As soon as the door was opened, they walked in.
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 54: The Vampire's Arrival
Jack had lost himself in a strange trance. Running away was out of the question, and he had even forgotten to tell Luna. At the last moment, the trance broke. Gently tapping Luna on the head, he whispered, “Hey Luna… Luna.”Luna’s face scrunched up, and with a tone full of annoyance, she asked, “What happened?”Pointing ahead, Jack gestured towards the vampire and said, “Look over there.”Luna looked in that direction and immediately her eyes widened. She tugged at Jack’s hand and said, “Run!”Both of them sprinted towards the door, but after just a couple of steps, they were forced to stop. The vampire was standing right in front of them. Both stood in shock, unsure of what to do. Jack decided that before the vampire could attack, he would strike first. Maybe it would startle it.With that thought, he used all his strength and threw a punch at the vampire’s jaw. Jack thought that if this punch were given to a human, they’d lose consciousness in an instant. But the vampire seemed unaf
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 55: The Vampire's Attack
"My name is not Tania Dixon," Tania said. "My real name is Nina Cruz."Hearing this from Tania, they were stunned. They looked at each other's faces. Peter furrowed his brow. "Cruz!" He paused for a moment and asked, "Do you know Dr. Roderick?"Tania smiled in response. Everyone stared at her, raising their eyebrows. "Dr. Roderick is my father," Tania said. "I am his daughter.""Ah!" Jack’s jaw dropped. The others were just as stunned. "Then why have you been hiding your identity here?" Max asked."I'm telling you everything," Tania said, raising her hand. She cleared her throat and began, "Dolly Auntie's husband, Mr. Abraham Arnold, was a very good friend of my father. Everyone knows Mr. Arnold died in an accident. But in reality, he was killed by a vampire attack.""What are you saying?" Peter’s voice was filled with disbelief."I'm telling the truth," Tania replied. "Do you want to hear how he died?"Everyone nodded in agreement. They wanted to hear it."My father didn’t believe in

"Luke, aren't your pants made of denim?" Jack suddenly asked."Ugh!" Luke swatted a mosquito away. Then he said, "Yeah, it's denim. Why, what's up?""Can your phone's battery be removed?""Yeah, it can.""That'll do.""What'll do?""Charging," Jack said mysteriously."Charging what?" Luke asked, confused."Ugh, just do something quickly!" Lily said impatiently, smacking her own cheek — actually swatting a mosquito. "These bloodsuckers are going to drain us dry."Ignoring Lily, Jack told Luke to take out his phone's battery. Luke fumbled in the dark and managed to remove it. "Now what?" he asked."Rub the battery's charging slot against your jeans," Jack instructed.Finally, Luke understood. As an engineering student, he felt embarrassed that such a simple idea hadn't crossed his mind. Without another word, he firmly rubbed the battery's charging slot against his pants. Though they couldn’t see in the dark, the rough scratching sound made it clear he was doing it.Jack said, "Once you'
Chapter 105: A Faint Hope in the Jungle
They had been walking for quite a while. Everyone was exhausted. Suddenly, Orin dropped onto a pine log, declaring that he couldn’t go any further. The others were just as worn out, so they all decided to rest right there. They had lunch with the water and the deer meat they had with them. After a short break, they set off again."How much longer do we have to keep walking?" Lily asked impatiently."Until we find the Yaku River," Jack replied indifferently."In other words, until we get rescued," Luke added."Yeah, exactly," Jack agreed."Do you think we’ll actually get rescued?" Orin asked, his voice filled with doubt."Hmm." Jack sighed. "Only time will tell.""And when exactly will that time come?" Lily asked impatiently.Suddenly, Jack stopped in his tracks, making everyone else pause in surprise. Lily was about to ask what was wrong, but Jack raised his hand, signaling her to be quiet. She fell silent immediately.Jack stood still, straining his ears to catch something. "Do you g
Chapter 104: Flickers in the Firelight
Lily stared at the fire. It burned brightly, its orange glow lighting up everything around it. Nocturnal animals filled the jungle with their calls, the constant noise almost deafening to Lily. She had been awake for quite a while now. Around midnight, she was supposed to wake Jack. She pulled her phone out of her pocket to check the time, but it was dead. No charge. Finally, she glanced at her wristwatch. In the dim light, she saw that it was already twelve. Just as she was about to wake Jack, she noticed him sitting on the hammock. That meant he had woken up on his own."When did you wake up?" Lily asked."Just a little while ago," Jack replied."Well, good thing you did. I was about to wake you.""Alright then, you get some sleep. I’ll keep watch."Lily wished him goodnight and lay down. Jack sat quietly on the hammock. After a while, he noticed the firewood was running low. The flames were almost out. He climbed down, added a few branches onto the glowing embers, and went back to
Chapter 103: Where’s Luke?
Orin is scared. She doesn’t know what to do now. Should she call out to them?No, that might startle the animals. That could make things even worse. When animals get startled, they become aggressive.What are those two?Tigers, bears, or leopards? Or something else?Orin hasn’t seen the animals yet. But from their growls, she can tell they’re fierce and large. The animals are slowly approaching the camp. Yes, there are two of them. Orin sees four eyes glowing in the darkness. One animal wouldn’t have four eyes. Nor would it have just one. Each animal has two eyes, so there must be two of them.The animals crept closer and closer until they reached Jack’s hammock. Orin’s heart pounded wildly in her chest. She was frozen with indecision. Then suddenly, an idea struck her.Luke was lying in the hammock closest to Orin. She poked him with a stick. He didn’t wake the first time, but on the second try, he stirred. As he sat up, he was about to make a sound, but Orin quickly put a finger to
Chapter 102: Right in Front of You
The jaguar was about fifteen feet away from them. A distance it could cover in a single leap. And it wouldn't take more than a few moments for it to make that jump.The jaguar leaped from its position. It was mid-air when something extraordinary happened. The smallest and most frightened among them stepped forward. Without a second thought, it lunged at the beast, which was at least twenty-five times its size. It knew it stood no chance, knew it would meet certain death, yet it leaped — only to save its friends. It could have run away and saved itself.Though it couldn't match the jaguar's strength, Don managed to hold it off for a few moments with sheer cunning. Don's sharp claws slashed across the jaguar's face. The sight of such a tiny dog daring to attack enraged the jaguar even more. With a shake of its head, it hurled Don to the ground. Even after hitting the ground, Don didn't give up. It charged again at the jaguar. But this time, Don couldn't hold it off. The jaguar struck th
Chapter 101: The Black Terror
Don stared at the large bush with a fearful gaze, barking furiously."Hey Don, what's wrong now?" Lily grabbed Don's collar and asked. Don glanced at Lily once, then turned back to the bush and started barking again."There's something over there," Jack said in a serious tone.Everyone immediately turned to look at him. "Something dangerous?" Orin's eyebrows furrowed."Yeah!" Jack nodded absentmindedly. "Something dangerous.""I think so too," Luke added. "There's definitely something scary over there."The two girls grew even more frightened after hearing Luke and Jack. "What do we do now?" Orin asked, her voice trembling.Without answering, Luke readied his bow and arrow. Jack picked up the wooden spear. The girls didn’t need to be told what to do. Watching Jack and Luke prepare was enough for them to understand. They each grabbed a spear and got ready.Don kept barking non-stop. No matter what they did, they couldn’t calm him down. At one point, Orin saw a shadow moving on the othe
Chapter 100: Don the Defender
The fastest snake in the world is the black mamba. It can cover nearly five meters per second. It is also one of the deadliest venomous snakes on Earth, said to rank just behind the king cobra. Interestingly, the black mamba isn’t black at all; its body is a dark grayish-olive color, though at birth, even that shade isn’t present. As it grows older, its color deepens. The name "black mamba" comes from the inky black color inside its mouth. When threatened, it raises its head high like a king cobra and hisses loudly — just like it was doing now. The black mamba doesn’t stop after one strike; it bites repeatedly, pumping venom into its enemy. Its venom is primarily neurotoxic, attacking the nervous system directly. Just a single drop is enough to cause a heart attack and kill a full-grown human in fifteen minutes.The snake was so close, it wouldn’t take a second to lunge at Luke. Death stood right before him, and he knew it. He could see no hope of escaping alive.The snake raised half
Chapter 99: Where’s Luke?
After searching for quite a while, Luke couldn't find anything except four bird eggs. Finally, feeling frustrated, he sat down on a tree stump. But then, he quickly realized that sitting still wouldn't do. He had been out for quite a while. If he took any longer, they would start to worry. So, sitting there was no use. It would be better to head back to the camp. Surely, Jack must have found something. But what if, just like him, Jack didn't find anything? The thought made Luke pause. Then what would they do with these four eggs? They would have to go hungry.A bunch of such thoughts kept swirling in Luke’s mind. At that moment, he noticed a bush rustling nearby. He knew that bushes don’t move on their own. Someone was disturbing it. So there must be something inside. But what was it? A dangerous, fierce animal? Luke didn’t want to think further. He quickly moved behind a tree for cover, keeping his ears alert for any sound, ready to hear the slightest noise. He kept his gaze fixed on
Chapter 98: Out of the Darkness
Lily opened her eyes and saw someone leaning towards her. At first, it was unclear, but slowly, the face became clearer. Seeing Jack, a spark of joy flashed in her eyes.Lily couldn’t speak. She didn’t have the strength to speak. Only a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips. Jack gave her water to drink. Lily lay on his lap. In this condition, there was no way Lily could climb the vine. So, he would have to figure out how to lift her. But how?Jack sank deep into thought. His mind had already started working to find a solution. Within moments, the path to a solution revealed itself to him. Now, they just needed an extra vine. One that was right above, near Luke.Luke and Orin were sitting above, holding their phone's flash at the mouth of the hole. They waited eagerly. At that moment, they heard Jack’s call. He needed another vine. Without delay, Luke threw one end of the vine into the hole. He held the other end himself.As soon as the vine was in hand, Jack began his work.
