Chapter 221 Never Ending Killing! (2/2)
Jessy gathered the ladies and teleport them on the other side of the cave.
She finally landed near the entrance along with the frozen ladies, she was greeted with the raw smell of blood and lifeless bodies lined up in the ground.
Jessy began checking out the dead bodies, trying to find the leader, damn! she can't find him!
Warriors come and go bringing more dead bodies coming from the inside of the cave. She scanned each of their faces...he's not among the dead!
A few minutes later when the last dead body was taken out from the cave. It's positive, the leader was not among the dead!
Jessy sighed deeply. The leader of the savage vampires probably saved his ass during the chaos!
King Antone and his men were able to dig a wide hole in the ground with a fire burning brightly in the center they were now ready to burn the dead bodies of the slain vampires.
Jessy's heart was suddenly gripped by a deep sadness watching too many dead bodies in front of her, no one should be dead! There should be no more war and fighting! Why can't everyone stay good and support one another and foster peace in their hearts so that blood will no longer be spilled into the ground?
Why can't it be done? WHY?
Why war and conflict have to happen all the time?
It's such a sad event, in every war and battle there are always dead bodies to burn or bury after the war ended.
Jessy saw that King Antone was wearing a grim expression on his face looking far ahead in the distance.
She sauntered to his side. ”Father, what is it?”
”Nothing child, I'm just feeling weary of the never-ending killing that's happening all my life,” King Antone replied absentmindedly. He looked at his daughter-in-law, ”Have you found the leader?”
Jessy shook her head. ”I was looking for the leader among the dead bodies but I can't find him even his shadow. Do you think he already escaped, Father?” she asked.
”That's more like it,” the king answered.
”Did you already killed the women, the old and young, Father?” she asked because the dead bodies she saw were all males.
”They were still in the cave, about thirty of them, my men were guarding them right now,” the king responded.
”Y-you want to save them, Father?” she choked on her words, hoping for a change of his mind.
King Antone sighed. ”If I will let you decide on their fate, what would you do with them?” he asked.
Jessy was dumbfounded. Her heart was whispering that she got to save them but her mind says no, it's the contradicting decision that got her confused. ”If we set them free, what will happen to them?”
”They will die in the wilderness if they can't find a permanent blood supply unless the leader comes back and took them back under his wings again. Their leader is the most capable being who can abduct humans to become their source of blood supply,” the king replied.
”So, if the leader won't come back for them, they will die sooner or later?”
”Yes,” King Antone nodded.
Jessy and the king fell silent while watching the bodies of the slain vampires thrown into the burning pit...
Jessy was thinking of a solution. ”How about if we asked Mother to erase their memories?”
