Elliot's POV
We enter the kitchen through my portal and the Butler Ulfred and the kitchen staff are busy preparing our supper. I mind-linking him a while ago to prepare our food. Allyson speaks to the butler.
"Did Colton and the rest of my friends eat already?" Allyson says to Butler Ulfred.
"Yes, my lord Allyson." The butler replied.
"Ok, where are they now?" Allyson asks I don't know what Allyson thoughts, he has a poker face and I cannot read his mind. What? What happened that I cannot get through on his mind? How can he do it? I ask myself surprisingly.
"Probably they are now resting in their bedrooms, my lord." The butler answered.
"Please check them for me if they are in their bedroom," Allyson said. His face is blank.
"Yes, my lord, I'll do it now. Excuse me." Said Butler Ulfred. He left the dining hall. after Allyson nods him then we start eating the food.
"Granny, it's very late at night, I want us to be rest as you are very tired now and me also, probably Elliot, too, tired, right, Elliot?" Allyson glance at me. I agree with him and so I nod.
"So let us enjoy the food, rest after this, and tomorrow, please let us continue our stories after my work. Is this ok with you all? I want to know everything and understand everything." Allyson says. Well, I agree with him. I am tired also and need sleep to recharge my energy.
"Yes, Ali. You are right so let us enjoy our food and have a rest after this." Granny says. I know granny is tired. Who wasn't? She used her magic and energy in our journey to the ancestral mausoleum.
After our supper, we go to our bedrooms to rest. I still don't know what is on his mind but I hope it is good when butler informed him. that his friends are resting in their respective bedrooms.
Early morning, Allyson, together with Colton and Cris went to their work. I am doing my roving again. I check the forest from the palace keenly. Watching every movement or any suspicious event when I was startled by grandma Alice. I lost my focus momentarily.
"Elliot," Grandma calls my name. I turn back and look at her. I bow.
"Yes, grandma?" I say. She sigh. I chuckle.
"Grandma, it's early morning to sigh," I remark. She smiles at me.
"I know but I can't help it, Elliot." She embraces herself. Maybe the cool wind in the early morning makes her cold.
"Are you cold, granny? Maybe you should go back inside." I said to her.
" A little bit but I am fine so don't worry, dear." She replies.
"Ok," I said and turn back again to check the forest again. Grandma walks to me and scan also our boundary. We do this for the moment.
"Is Allyson going to work with his friend?" Granny asks suddenly.
"Yes," I reply. Still looking at the forest and surroundings with my keen eyes.
"How about the twins?" She said looking at the forest like me.
"Well, I did what I think is the best thing to do, grandmother," I said. This time she looks at me with creases between her brows.
"And what is that? What did you do to them?" Granny asks me.
"Well, I made them sleep like sleeping beauty but for only the whole day until I did say so," I said. Grandmother chuckle putting her hand to cover her mouth. Her eyes become a thin line.
"Well, I am glad you do it. That two rascals might be able to make damage in this castle more while Colton is not around. So your sleeping spell makes us away from troubles." Grandma says.
"Yes, grandma. You are right. Those two give me a headache." My annoying expressions make grandmother's laughter echo in the whole castle that the chirping birds shut down their voices and look at us.
"You are so funny, Elliot," Granny says between laughs. I roll my eyes.
"They are like toddlers... rascal toddlers," I remark. Granny laughs at her heart content. I pout my lips and keep my mouth shut and sit back while looking intently far away in the forest when the wind energy change. I feel something different. I stand urgently. Looking far away, that makes granny stop her laughter.
"W-what is it, Elliot?" She holds my arm. But I remain quiet focusing my energy and power from afar.
"What did you see?" She asks. I squinted my eyes then I close it and open it again. This time my eyes are glowing white. I saw a blurred view at first but I intensify my eyesight powers. I see now eighteen people, no! Eighteen vampires coming from afar!
"What did you see?" Grandma asks me again. I close my eyes and it's back to normal again.
"Grandmother, eighteen vampires are coming to Seward Park," I said.
"Oh,?! Why? What is their purpose? Are they our enemies? That looking for us?" She inquires.
"No, grandmother. They are not looking for us but I am not sure if they are our enemy or not but they are looking for something here. I feel it from their energy. They are in a hurry." I informed her.
"Oh! Is that so? What is that thing they are looking for? Are they near to us?"
"I don't know grandmother, but I feel they are not good and something bad will happen when they set their foot here. They are not yet near. Maybe in months or so." I said seriously.
"Oh, is that so? Do you think we should go to the library? We should know their purpose here in advance. We know in advance the better we can prepare." Grandmother said. I look at her and agree.
"Yes, grandmother. You are right. We should go to the library and should know in advance." I said. I send mind-link to all warriors to keep strict on their pose and always prepare for the enemy before I open the portal as a shortcut to the library.
