Chapter 409: 409
The rest of the day, there wasn't really much to be done . Since it was the first day, the students were just given their schedule of what they would learn for the rest of the semester . The group took a quick look at it and there didn't seem to be any worrying details on there . Well, at least not anything too worrying for how long they were planning to stay there .
And with that, the school had ended earlier on its first day than it usually would . Students were encouraged to interact with each other and continue exploring the school, but they weren't to leave the campus . They could explore the library, check out the training area, and even pop into the other classrooms .
In each building, there were living quarters . Since the school was only open for two months during the summer . In a way the school was treated as a summer camp for all the vampire families . While for most of the year they would be taught by their own family .
They were to stay there and learn every day until they were eventually sent back to their families, where they would continue their learning process and training . They would then be invited again at the end of the year to take the final examination to see if they were able to become an adult vampire . There weren't any details about what this exam was, but since it didn't concern Vorden and the others, they were not really interested in it, anyway .
As they left the classroom, the group had split up a little . The boys' and girls' dorms were separated and during class they had all been given a keycard with their room number . Cia immediately said to the others that she would be going to get some rest . The others didn't mind this because she looked absolutely drained .
In a short amount of time, she had gone through a lot . The experience of what the boys went through and what she had gone through couldn't be compared; they were slowly introduced to everything . She had instead been thrown in on the deep end, and they couldn't really blame her for feeling the way she did . However, Vorden still felt like she had been a little quieter than usual for some reason .
Apart from what she had just said as they were about to leave the classroom, she hadn't spoken or asked anything about what they planned to do .
As the boys were just about to leave the class as well, Silver decided to give a bit of warning to Borden, stopping and calling out to him .
"For what you did earlier, I just want to give you a little warning . " Silver said . "The boy you stopped before, he's one of the head teacher's favourite pupils, and he's linked to the first family . Usually I would say there's nothing to worry about, but you see, you being in the tenth family means that even if they do target you, you don't really have any protection . "
"While I'm around he won't really do anything to hurt you, I promise you that . You protected my family so I will protect you . But I can't keep an eye on you the whole time . I would suggest for today you head back to your room . " Silver said as she went back inside her classroom .
Listening to Silver's advice, Vorden knew it was important that they didn't cause any trouble . They were more at risk than anybody . If he was to get into a fight with a vampire, he couldn't imagine not taking a hit, and taking a hit means spilling blood . Revealing his identity to everyone .
At the time, he wanted to not get involved in anything, but his body was moving before he knew it .
"Just go . " Logan said . "No one is after me, so I'll be fine . Besides, I'm more careful than any of you lot, anyway . I'll try to get some information about what happened to Fex and try to find out more about the tenths . "
With that, the three of them had split up, but would be soon joining each other again .
Spreading his little spiders out, and heading to the library himself, Logan tried to gather as much information from as many different sources as possible . After a few hours of research, from gossip, books and some old articles on the computer system, Logan was starting to get an idea of the structure of the place .
Before returning to his room, he decided he would stop by Vorden's first .
"There are a few things I found out, I thought you would want to hear . " Logan said, stepping inside the room . The room wasn't the same size as Logan was used to . But it was a similar size to the standard military rooms apart from there only being one bed and no one required to share . The decorations were also a little darker, to say the least . The floors were made out of wood but dark wood, while the bedpost and frames had twirls on the post . Giving it that Victorian fancy feeling .
"Shouldn't we tell Cia this as well?" Vorden said .
"I assume she has too much on her mind . Besides, she's not really interested in helping Fex out and Peter, anyway . " Logan replied . "She's only here because of Layla in the first place . "
"First, the school building is split up into four campuses, this one that we are in which is for the vampires, then the other three for the vampire subclasses . Category A, are those closely related to vampires, Category B, the undead, and Category C, those strong at magical abilities . Right now Layla should be at Campus C . It looks like she will be safe in there for now so we have nothing to worry about . " Logan explained .
"There are a total of fifteen castles all together . There is the main castle which is the largest one in the centre . This castle is where the so-called vampire king resides . Then there are seven castles on either side of it . These castles belong to the so-called Vampire leaders . If you remember when everyone was introducing themselves everyone said a number . This is what it's related to . They all work for the Vampire king . Also, each family seems to have a special ability that only that family knows . An example of this is Fex's string ability belonging to the thirteenth family . "
"Wait a minute . " Vorden said . "But I didn't hear anyone say a number above thirteen?"
"This was what got me a bit confused as well . " Logan replied . "The only information I could find was two of the castles seem to be practically empty and completely abandoned . One of these is castle number ten . We now know why, thanks to Fred, it's due to the leader who had gone missing . And then there is the fourteenth castle . Unfortunately, it seemed like I could find nothing about this castle . "
"Inside the castle, those that are related by blood, or are connected live inside the castle . Other than direct descendants, there is no one weaker than a vampire noble inside them . All of these know how to use the vampire ability . Then on top of these, there are a hundred more who also know how to use the ability, but aren't really related by blood . They live not too far away from the castle . "
"Each vampire family has a total of 1500 people . The rest of the vampires that don't belong to the two groups mentioned above, live all over the city . Most of them don't ever learn an ability with hopes of one day being promoted and moving up to the top one hundred within their family . "
Knowing the structure of the vampires was starting to scare Vorden a little . Who knew how strong the vampire leaders or the vampires inside the castle were .
"So if Fex is a part of the thirteenth family, then most likely he's in the castle at the moment . Maybe Peter as well?" Vorden asked . Thinking about the possibility that they would have to fight around fifty vampires to get Peter and Fex out of there .
"This information was almost impossible to find . It seems like everyone knows about Fex but at the same time doesn't . They just know he had done a bad deed worthy of an execution, and as for Peter, nobody knows anything . If I was to take a guess, I would say they have them both at the thirteenth castle, but we can't move until we get more information .
"Perhaps as days go past, more information will start to spill . I'll keep one of my spiders in each room and see what they bring . "
The day had come to an end, and the three tried their best to sleep, but it was nearly impossible . Vorden was starting to think that this whole rescue mission was a lost cause . Sure, Quinn was strong, but to possibly go against all these vampires . It just didn't seem like a sane thing to do . They had pulled off many operations before against big players like Trudream and during the event, but this just seemed like it was on a completely different level .
As for Cia, she was starting to convince herself more and more about the possibility that a vampire had removed her memories, and the only vampire she knew of that was apparently close to her at the time was Quinn . She wanted answers, and she wanted them soon .
