My Vampire System

Chapter 211: A way out

Currently inside Logan's room were Fex, Erin, Peter, and Logan. There was no conversation between them, they were all just silently standing around. They hadn't realised it until now, but the thing that brought most of them together was Quinn.

The others didn't really know each other that well, and without him there they didn't have anything to talk about with each other. This didn't seem to bother Logan much, the only sound that could be heard was him typing away on his computer, trying to gain access to the military bases systems, and find a way to upload the video they had made without leaving any traces.

Fex, on the other hand, was keeping a close eye on Peter. Without Quinn there, Fex felt like it was his duty to protect all of them, in the case of Peter losing control. Though Fex thought that perhaps Logan would be able to deal with Peter on his own as well. He knew first-hand how strong the shots from that strange suit were.

While staring at Peter, Fex was trying to figure out just who Quinn was. Right now he had two main theories, one of them was that he was a member of one of the thirteen families raised here on earth since birth and reported back to the main family once in a while.

And while he was down here, he had made the mistake of turning Peter, and was now trying to keep it a secret. But the thing that threw him off with this theory was his ability, the shadow ability. His first thought was that one of the families was keeping it a secret from the rest. So that when the crowning of a new king or queen was to happen again, it would give them quite the power advantage.

His other theory was, Quinn didn't belong to any of the thirteen vampire families and instead belonged to them, the original shadow users. However, this theory of his was the most outlandish for they were meant to be long dead. And if it was true he wouldn't be able to even imagine the consequences.

If the vampire council found out they hadn't all died, then there would be chaos.

Walking down the hallway, both Quinn and Vorden were making their way to the weapons class. Even on off days like today, Leo would often be there taking care of the equipment, or just practise his swordsmanship. It wasn't hard to say that Leo was a workaholic, except that he wasn't really doing it for work reasons.

But there were times when Quinn and others around him could see that Leo was obsessed with the blade, but that wasn't quite right either. Leo was actually obsessed with getting revenge against the Dalki.

While walking around, they could see the panic in the soldier's faces. The students, who were outside the campus and around the city, had been ordered to come back and remain inside the school. The military had taken action immediately after Jack Truedream had left.

There was a strict border control being held just around the school, with soldiers surrounding the whole place in a circle. Even on their way to the martial arts hall, Quinn and Vorden were both questioned several times.

The two of them now stood just outside the weapons hall, and Vorden hesitated before stepping in. "Quinn, this is our last chance. Are you really sure about this? What do we do if he doesn't agree? I don't think we're strong enough to take him on."

"Even if he doesn't agree, he's not the type to turn us in for protecting a friend. He'll understand. Trust me." With that, Quinn stepped forward, full of confidence, opening the door into the martial arts hall.

It was the weekend, so no students were inside, but Leo was there, standing in the middle of the room on his own. Sweat was dripping down from his forehead while his sword was still sheathed at his waist.

As soon as the two of them entered the room, he was already looking in their direction.

"The two of you were standing outside for a while. I was wondering when you were going to come in," Leo said with a slight smile on his face.

'Is this guy really blind?' Vorden thought to himself. There weren't many opportunities where both Vorden and Leo were able to be around each other. Vorden knew about his accomplishments during the war, but sometimes, the rumours would often be exaggerated.

'I wonder if I could even touch him,' Vorden mused.

As the two of them got closer, Leo could tell that the energy inside the two of them was disturbed, but while looking at Vorden, his energy flow seemed strange. Had he met this person before? Because right now, he was looking at a person that had two different flows of energy inside him.

This was because Vorden currently held the fire ability, as well as the invisibility ability.

"Leo, I know you have already done me a huge favour by keeping my secret," Quinn spoke. "And because of this, I have decided to trust you with something else. I hope my hunch isn't wrong and I hope you can help me."

"I can't make any promises as I do not know what you wish to tell me," Leo said. "But as long as you are not in the wrong, you have nothing to worry about."

When Leo spoke those last words, it gave Vorden a little shiver down his spine. Just what had this man gone through to be able to create such an intense feeling with only a few words? Was it his ability? Or was it really just the pressure emitting from this person?

Quinn started to explain what had happened, and how they had learned of what Truedream's real reason for coming to the academy was. As well as how someone from Pure was the one who had informed them, and how their friends had been chosen for the process. And he finished explaining that all they wanted to do was protect Erin and Peter from the military and from Truedream.

However, Quinn did leave out some of the details regarding them, trying to save Peter for a different reason, than that Peter was related to himself, and just explained that he didn't want his friends to lose their ability. He also mentioned how they needed to send Erin out of here right now.

After they had finished explaining, both Quinn and Vorden were very nervous, so they took a deep breath, trying to calm themselves down. They carefully watched where Leo's hands were placed, thinking that any second now, he would go for his blade and capture the two of them.

"You two can calm down," Leo said. "As I've said to both of you before, as long as you are not in the wrong, I shall help. And in this situation, I believe you are not in the wrong."

While Quinn spoke about everything that had happened to Truedream, Leo had made sure to carefully keep an eye on their energy flow, as well as on their heartbeat. He noticed quite often when people were lying, their flow of energy, as well as their heartbeat, would fluctuate slightly.

Over the years, it came to the point where Leo was just as good as any lie detector. Of course, there were those who had a solid will and had been trained to the point where it wouldn't affect them anymore. But for kids like these, it was easy for him to tell. He knew that the words Quinn spoke were the truth.

"So, can you help us?" Quinn asked with a little smile on his face.

"There isn't much I can do about the situation with Jack. Although he isn't part of the military, he is treated a lot higher than me. When I arrived here, I was adamant to be put under Nathan since I had an odd feeling about Duke, this now explains it."

"Right now, because of my rank, there isn't much I can do. Jack holds a special relationship with our head general Paul. The only thing I can do is wait to meet with the head general of military base one. Not everyone in the military agrees with Jack's doing, and this will hopefully be a step in the right direction."

What Leo was doing right now was a risk most people would never take. If someone were to find out that they were trying to ruin the relationship between Jack and the military, there would be many people on both sides upset with this, and most likely, many would go after Leo's life.

What he was doing right now was fearless, and Leo didn't have a group or other people backing him, but he only had himself.

"Don't worry about that," Quinn said. "Right now, all we need to do is save our friends. Is there any way you can get us inside the portal room to send her off somewhere?"

Leo started to think, which they thought wasn't a good sign. It seemed like he had asked a simple yes or no question, but seeing Leo think, didn't seem to be the case.

"As you know, the portal room has been heavily guarded ever since what happened with the two of you. Most likely, it will be guarded even more now. Still, there is a way, follow me."
