Chapter 103: Bloody Night – 2
When the police thought they had deactivated all the bombs, a young police officer suddenly discovered that there was a bomb disguised in a container and the time to explode was being measured in seconds.
He looked around in panic, screaming for everyone to leave, but his voice was only loud enough for a few people nearby to hear.
Luckily, he saw a speaker thrown nearby, so he quickly picked it up and shouted.
– The bomb is about to explode, get out of here quickly. The bomb is about to explode.
Hearing the warning sound, no one told anyone, but both the police and the hunters simultaneously stopped fighting and rushed out through the doors.
Aurora and the hunter she was trying to hold back were no exception, but her strength was exhausted so she only took a few steps before falling to the floor and unable to stand up.
The scene before her eyes faded, and she could only see a few people running away in the near distance.
Quite a distance from the factory, Lucasta could still hear the loudspeaker announcement.
She quickly stopped and looked back, trying to find Aurora’s silhouette but could not see Aurora at all.
– Miss Aurora, please, run faster… faster. Lucasta said while crying.
Inside, Aurora was finally able to stand up, but the moment she rushed out, the bomb also exploded.
A horrifying explosion rang out. The explosive power of the bomb blew away the entire factory area. And although Lucasta had run a long distance, both she and Samson were thrown by the pressure from there and they were completely unconscious.
When she woke up, she only saw a column of black smoke rising high in front of her and pink ash flying around her.
She quickly groped around to find Samson, then crawled to his side, touching his wounded body all over, crying without a sound.
She no longer has the strength to take him away anymore. She was completely helpless.
He fainted and there was no one to protect her in the dark.
– Lucasta.
Harvey hurriedly ran to Lucasta’s side. Just now, he took Maris back to the castle, but after waiting for a while, he didn’t see anyone coming, so he gave her to the owls to take care of her and came back.
As a result, he only saw a huge fire, burning down the entire factory.
– Where is Aurora? Where is she? He asked as he helped Lucasta up.
– I’m sorry, she stopped the hunter for me and Samson to run away first, then… and when that place exploded, I still didn’t see her coming. – Lucasta choked, speaking in sobs.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
– What?
He let go of her and stood up, looking towards the column of black smoke.
Just now, he was extremely scared and ran around looking for them, but when he saw Lucasta and Samson, he was reassured.
He thought Aurora was with them. And now what he received was bad news.
At this moment, the phone in Harvey’s pocket rang. He quickly picked up the phone and before Michael could speak, he told Michael where he was standing and asked Michael to send a car to take Lucasta and Samson away because their whole bodies were full of injuries.
Although Harvey wanted to run ahead to find his lover, he couldn’t leave his friend and the girl who was about to faint from losing too much blood, so he suppressed his anxiety and tried to wait until Michael’s car arrived.
– Come on Lucasta, don’t faint, open your eyes. Harvey constantly encouraged her.
However, Lucasta couldn’t hold on anymore. She fainted immediately, her whole body motionless, her face pale as if there was no blood left in her body.
After five minutes, the car driven by Bevis arrived. After contacting Harvey, he opened the car door and waited for Harvey to bring the two unconscious people to the car.
After coordinating with the security forces at the airport and capturing William and his accomplices, Bevis and his teammates immediately drove here to support everyone.
That terrible explosion caused many casualties, including police and vampire hunters.
– Aren’t you going with me? Bevis spoke up when he saw Harvey about to turn away.
– No, help me take care of them. I have to find a friend of mine.
After finishing speaking, Harvey quickly disappeared into the night. Bevis also immediately got into the driver’s seat and, without wasting another moment, drove quickly toward the city center.
He couldn’t take these two people to the hospital, so he could only follow Michael’s advice and take them to Aurora’s house so Bella could treat them.
Receiving the news, Bella immediately drove to the alley and waited in front of Aurora’s gate.
Half an hour later, Bevis’s car appeared.
Bevis quickly broke the lock and brought the two victims inside with Bella. Thanks to Michael’s instructions, he easily opened the door leading into Aurora’s miniature hospital-like room.
– Are you okay? He asked because he saw Bella frown slightly when seeing Samson’s vampire appearance.
– No problem. Please do as I say.
So, Bevis suddenly turned from a special police officer into the doctor’s assistant, helping her treat the wounds and bandage the couple.
He temporarily put aside his concerns about the fire to focus completely on the task at hand.
If something unfortunate happened to one of these two people, his boss would be tormented for the rest of his life.
Everyone’s life is equally important but there are extremely important exceptions.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense and in the forest, it was even more tense.
Stretchers were constantly being carried in and out of the rubble. The water taps were operating at full capacity and the exhausted police still tried to dig through the mess to find their comrades and victims.
Everyone’s faces were dirty, and they could only recognize each other by their voices.
Peter sat in a dark corner, leaning against a tree trunk, blankly looking at the scene before him. He regrets it, he should have believed and listened to the police’s request.
Now he is paying the price for his wrong decision, his comrades died in vain and even implicated many others.
– Please follow us to the ambulance to the hospital, your leg is bleeding too much. A young policeman approached and suggested.
– Okay, thank you. Peter clung to the policeman and hobbled towards the waiting ambulances.
Rescue and firefighting work continued until four o’clock in the morning. Michael returned to work headquarters with a dirty body.
After briefly reporting the situation to his superiors, he bowed his head in silence. His appearance made Jony sad.
No one knew that William would install the bombs, and no one knew that vampire hunters would suddenly arrive from everywhere, causing unimaginable chaos.
– We cannot achieve anything without paying a price. You have done very well. Jony put his hand on Michael’s shoulder and squeezed it hard to comfort him and also encourage his spirit.
Leaving the police station, Michael drove straight to Aurora’s house to see the situation of Samson and Lucasta.
Just now, on the way back from the scene, he called Harvey several times but Harvey didn’t pick up.
According to Bevis’s account, he guessed Harvey was looking for Aurora. The worry in his heart increased even more when he heard information from hospitals announcing that no female victims of the explosion had been admitted to the hospital.
He just hoped she had escaped in time and was somewhere, not one of the charred corpses.
– Are they okay? Do they have a fever again? Michael asked as soon as he faced Bevis.
– Yes, the fever came back twice. Bella is in there. She said it was a normal phenomenon of the body, she could handle it. Bevis replied.
Because Michael knew he was dirty and shouldn’t go into the hospital room, he just sat on the steps, looking into space with tired, painful eyes.
He sat like that until he could no longer contain his emotions, bowed his head, and burst into tears for his teammates who had gone through life and death with him.
Bevis didn’t know what else to say, so he could only sit down next to Michael and put his hand on Michael’s shoulder. The price they have to pay this time is too expensive.
Inside, Bella also shed tears, silently looking at her brother’s burdened shoulders shaking with each sob.
Outside, it was raining, thought it was just a passing drizzle but no, after a few strong winds blowing horizontally and vertically, the rain fell torrentially.
The raindrops extinguished the fires that were igniting everywhere in the forest and eased the firefighters’ worries. This rain is like a blessing to them.
While everyone was looking for shelter from the rain, there was a man still sitting under a thin canopy of leaves, his arms tightly embracing the girl he loved.
He found her, but only her body and her soul had long since flown to heaven. She left him without even saying goodbye.
Harvey sat like that all night, blankly staring at the space in front of him. He even tricked himself into thinking that this was just a dream and that as soon as dawn came, this nightmare would disappear and return Aurora to him.
For the first time, he felt extreme pain, as if he had lost half of his soul.
– You once dreamed of living in the forest with me like Samson and Lucasta, right? Then let’s choose this place.
He bowed his head, kissed her forehead one last time, then stood up and quickly dug a grave. He needed to leave this place before the rain stopped and the sun came up.
He didn’t expect that the first time he dug a grave to bury someone, it would be for the person he loved the most in his life.
He told himself that after completing this task, he would take her to the forest and live a secluded life, just the two of them, as she wished. However, everything has disappeared.
– Honey, rest here. Forest leaves will shade you on sunny days and keep you from getting wet on rainy days. You will hear birds singing every day. The wind will lull you to sleep and the butterflies will fan you.
Aurora’s body was taken underground and gradually covered. Today, Harvey buried her, which means he buried his heart.
The rain became heavier and heavier, mud smeared all over his bloody body. The pain in his heart overwhelmed everything and made him no longer feel anything on his skin.
– Wait for me, I will come back to you soon. Wait for me.
After Harvey finished speaking, he decisively turned away. He still has some work to do. He wanted to see Samson and Maris recover. They are friends but no different from his relatives.
Twenty minutes later, Harvey was in Aurora’s yard and as soon as he saw Michael, he fell, losing consciousness because he was so exhausted.
Both Bevis and Michael panicked, rushed out, and carried him in. The open wounds caused by the light from the cross caused him to lose too much blood.
If he hadn’t had time to drink two glasses of dried blood when he brought Maris back to the castle, he wouldn’t have had the strength to stay awake overnight.
– Bella, hurry up, Bella. Michael called loudly.
All three of them quickly brought Harvey into the room and Bella continued her work while the shirt she was wearing was still wet with sweat.
