Chapter 242 The Older Brother (1/2)

Two days later.

Jessy went to Antonia's room to check on the kids and she also has important things to ask about the leader of the savage vampire.

”How's everyone doing?” she asked when she closed the door behind her. ”Hello, kids!”

The children raised their heads and smiled at her. ”Hello!” they said in unison and turn their attention back to what they're doing.

She looked over the kids' shoulders wondering what keeps them busy today?

The kids were huddling in the bed, there were bond papers, pencils and crayons, and several children's books as well scissors in the bed, they were making drawings in the bond paper copying the image in the children's book.

Antonia went to their side.

”They would pick one illustration from the book and have a contest who among them can copy the image perfectly, then they would start the drawing process. At the end of the day, I will declare who is the winner that able to draw the illustration better than anyone. This type of activity keeps them occupied the whole day...” Antonia explained.

Jessy was delighted to see the kids having fun. ”Who gives them those children's books?” Jessy asked upon counting five books in the bed.

”It's Princess Abigail. She visited us the other day and ask if we're okay and I told her about the children being restless, then, after a few hours she comes back and brought those books and pencils to the children's great delight, then she took a few minutes of her precious times to sketch an image from one of the books while the children were watching her drawing the pic showing them how it's done, so yeah, the children loves the excitement and challenges that comes when creating images and they been drawing ever since, it sparks their creativity and imaginations,” Antonia elaborated further.

”That's brilliant!” Jessy commented and smiled at the kids, they were so engrossed in their drawing activity, they already have forgotten her presence inside the room.

She looked at the older woman. ”Antonia, I have something to ask you about Jagger,” she said.

They settled in the vacant bed near the door to talk privately, away from the children to avoid disturbing them.

”What is it that you want to know, Jess?” Antonia asked.

”I just want to know if Jagger has a family? Does he had a mother, father and siblings or relatives?”

”I know a little about him, but I heard from the other vampires that his parents were killed during the battle between the savage vampire and King Antone's men. He had an older brother that lives in a mountain far away from here, unfortunately, I don't know where...and I haven't seen the face of his brother even once....”

Jessy frowned. ”Wait—why you know so little about your leader?” she asked in confusion.

Antonia sighed. ”I don't know much about King Jagger's life's history. we're not that close. While I'm hiding and wandering in the forest with the kids dying of hunger and thirst, Jagger and his men happened to stumble upon us, he took pity us and decided to bring the kids and me to their hideout. That was the day our associations with him begins. Whatever bits and pieces of information I learned about him was only shared to me by some of the women I befriended while living with them in the cave. But they didn't tell me much about where he comes from...”

”So—you have no idea where his older brother was hiding?” Jessy pressed on.
