167 Chapter 167: The Search for Emy

“Did you track her down?”

Reed and Devin were both standing in front of the grocery store. After looking for Emy for a few minutes, they found each other. Reed asked Devin a question, and he shook his head.

“She isn’t in the house. Someone must have gotten rid of Emy.” Devin said.

Reed looked back at the parking lot. Later, Jasmin and Avery, and Alex came out with her.

“Devin, take them home and make sure they are safe. I’ll look for Emy.” Reed said.

Alex spoke just as Devin was about to answer. “Mommy!”

As Alex tried to get off Jasmin’s lift, everyone looked at him.

“Alex....”

As soon as Alex got off the bus, he ran to the parking lot. Reed ran right after Alex to keep him safe from the cars going by. A moment later, Alex pointed to a shoe between the vehicles. Reed saw that and came up to him quickly. Jasmin picked up Alex right away and looked around.

.....

Reed held the shoe and knew it belonged to Emy. When they turned to look at the screen, Devin was gone quickly. Reed also went away in the end.

Jasmin was surprised when Avery suddenly pulled out her two katanas and stood in front of her and Alex as if to protect them.

“What’s going on, Avery?” Jasmin asked.

“Come along with me. “Do you understand?” Avery told me.

Jasmin had a panic attack and said, “Yes.”

A man suddenly walks up to them and tries to touch Avery, but Avery quickly moves out of the way of her Katana, which causes the man’s head to be cut off. When it suddenly caught fire, it surprised Jasmin. She gave Alex a tight hug.

Again, other creatures would appear next to or behind them, and Avery would hit them quickly and then suddenly catch fire. Avery didn’t expect that more of them would come after her every time she killed one of them. The first one turned into two, and now six things were coming at them at once. It was going around, and she was ready with her Katana. Reed and Devin both saw that, even though they were on opposite sides of the parking lot. But before they could get closer and Avery could move to protect himself, they felt energy, and the paper-like creatures burned.

When Reed and Devin popped up in front of Avery out of nowhere, she quickly moved her Katana so that it was on the other side of their necks. But her Katana stopped when she couldn’t move because of the black smoke. Devin’s hand was filled with black smoke.

When Avery saw Devin and Reed, she cast the spell immediately, and the Katana went away.

Reed picked up Alex. He saw Alex put up his hand, which stopped the vampires from coming closer.

“It looks like Alex is nothing to worry about. “He can handle himself,” Devin said that he had also seen what Alex had done before.

“No! Still, he needs someone to keep an eye on him. Even though he’s strong, he’s still a child. We also don’t know if he is one of the vampire’s targets. Emy has gone missing, and I’m looking for her.” Reed said. “This is better. Just take them home, and I’ll find Emy.”

“Okay, I’ll follow you, but after I bring them to your house, I’ll also look for Emy,” Devin said.

“Up to you,” Reed said. Reed gave Alex to Jasmin so she could leave, but Alex held on to his hand and wouldn’t let go.

“Dada!”

Reed was happy. He took Alex’s hand off of him and gave him a kiss on the head.

“When Daddy comes home, and Mommy is with me, Daddy will look for Mommy.”

“Dada!”

Reed looked over at Devin. “Get them inside.”

“Fine,” Devin said.

The group left quickly and got in Reed’s car. He waited until Avery’s car left before going to find Emy.

Reed first looked around to see where Emy could go. He thought about how Alex got Emy’s shoes earlier. He immediately let out his black smoke and surrounded Emy’s shoes with it. Later, it floated through the air and joined his black smoke. He went after the trail.

Emy, on the other hand, was shaking from fear. Cedric, the vampire, took him to an empty building she didn’t know where to find. He moved so fast that she couldn’t remember a landmark she could see.

“What do you want me to do? What brought me here?” Cedric, Emy asked.

“What else would make a vampire take his victim hostage?” Cedric inquired. “Because you smell so good, I don’t know where to begin with you.”

Emy was surprised when the man appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her hair.

“Do you want me to start by making you happy? I’ll take what I want from you after I have you. I’m being unfair. I’m the only one who can get something good out of you.” 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

“Stay away from me!” Amy said.

Emy is stuck. She couldn’t move because she had no leash and couldn’t see any black smoke.

“What’s going on with me? Why am I stuck?’

“Stop trying so hard. No one can help you, and if there is someone who could, he might die first.”

‘Reed! Help me!’ What I thought.

Cedric pulled her hair away from her neck to show it. Emy kept crying, and when Cedric’s stiff lips touched her neck, she jerked.

‘Reed!’

A short time later, Emy felt something warm on her neck. Like it was burning her and hurting her. She screamed in pain because she couldn’t figure out why her neck hurt. As the man drank her blood, she could hear his lips slurp. Emy wasn’t able to do anything. She wasn’t able to move. Her tears came out on their own, and she just had to deal with the pain.

She felt Cedric pull away from her later. And because she didn’t have the strength, she fell to the floor. Even though the tears in her eyes made her vision blurry, she could still see Reed and Cedric fighting.

“Read!” she said in a whisper.

Reed quickly grabbed Cedric by the neck, but Cedric managed to get away. Compared to other vampires, it is fast and always has a smile.

“I don’t understand why a king would be here.” As Cedric moved away from Reed, he asked.

Reed clenched his teeth together and let out a cloud of black and red smoke. Cedric wasn’t ready for that, and he’d never seen Reed use it before, so he didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t see Reed in the smoke, so he just moved faster.

“Emy...”

Emy looked at Devin, who was new to the group. She could see that his face showed worry. Devin even turned to look at the fighter far away. Emy was lying on the ground and just watching the fighter.

Devin released black smoke and quickly put a bandage on Emy’s cut. Her body, numb before, once again felt terrible pain.

“Ahhhhhh!” Emy cries out in pain.

“Be patient, Emy. “Stay strong,” Devin said. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

At the same time, Cedric had his arm around Reed’s neck, and Reed had his arm around Cedric’s neck. Reed felt his nails dig into his skin.

“Did you think I would defeat someone like you? You don’t deserve to be king...”

Reed smirked. “Since you hurt my queen, I’ll show you what it’s like to be weak and lose,” he said.

His eyes showed that he was surprised. Reed’s feet rose off the ground, and the color of his eyes changed.

“Ahhhhh!” Cedric already feels black smoke coming through his nose, mouth, and even ears.

Reed was about to kill the vampire when he heard Devin calling his name.

“Don’t kill him, Reed!” Devin said. “To save Emy, we need him.”

Reed tightened his jaw as he watched Cedric open his mouth and black smoke enter his body. Reed was angry, so he slammed it against the wall several times. Black and red smoke filled the room.
