Chapter 2 - RULES AND PUNISHMENT

Jelly Spatters' voice was uniquely deep and rough, having all other vampires bowing in total respect whenever they heard it echoing.

He had a unique talent which other vampires never had. And this talent was a special gift, a must have for any vampire bat to qualify to lead the realm. This talked of unique gift was the ability to see the future correctly before it came to pass. Jelly Spatters could envisage vivid images of the things yet to take place in the future, thus titled "His righteousness".

His name made a big statement whenever it was talked of within the vampire bat territory.

"There is fire on the mountain and it's burning rapidly towards our direction," he stated, "before the bad worsen, the solution must be improvised fast."

In every corner of the hall, vampires had their attention maximized, hungry to hear in detail, what the future had, that their supreme was shown this time round.

It was a moment of silence, filled with anxiety and a strong desire to know within the bats in their human forms.

"As the only remaining descendant of the DarkDracula lineage," said Jelly Spatters, "I protect and guide the kingdom righteously through special abilities I inherited from my great ancestors, to serve their purpose."

At the altar, the six board members walked obediently, humbling themselves upto their respective seats, three on the right hand side and three on the left of the golden throne. After occupying their seats, also, the three mysterious ladies who ushered them inside the castle walk majestically and stood right behind the precious golden throne.

"For decades," Jelly Spatters continued with his speech out loud, "although human blood is insatiable, we had to choose to survive on wild life blood meals as the rule governing the kingdom stipulates. It is prohibited for any vampire to open its fangs on the neck vein of a human being for a blood feast. And as all of us know, this was the oath taken between our great great ancestors and humans, never to cross their lane again," he reminded his subordinates.

He went ahead to report, "even in the hardest of times when the wild had nothing to feed us due to changing seasons, our ancestors kept the oath unbroken. They knew how great of honour it was to keep their word for peace to rain, and swore to struggle with blood thirst to extinction. But never to prey on humans again."

Jelly Spatters stated, "the penalty subjected to whoever violated the rules was to undergo through a painful death by the red venom portion, which still stands until today and will always stand to whoever goes against them rules governing the realm."

'Red venom potion' was a colourless liquid founded thousands of years ago by the Dark Dracula vampires. When their toxic fire blood accidentally mixed with Mercury, a mineral they came across within the rocky mountains where they had sheltered for years while they searched for a permanent place to call home after vacating human territories.

The effects of red venom portion on vampires were terrifying in a way that, even its tiniest drop painfully melted away the vampire bat's body into a dark oily substance _ hence made the first choice of weapon to terminate the life of any vicious member in the realm. To any vampire that committed heavy crimes that could put others at risk, the ancestral vampires used the red venom portion liquid as a curse of a punishment usually served in public while all other vampire bats watched.

This imparted fear in them, hence promoted peace and unity within the vampire kingdom.

In a hall filled with silence, aggressively, Jelly Spatters stomped the ground from corner to corner at the altar, making it clear to all vampires in the building, shining a light on history to those who didn't know and also reminded those who knew.

"Humans built weapons of mass destruction to get rid of us. 'Enough is enough' was their motto. By then we had caused them extreme suffering. On a daily basis their news papers wrote, words on streets circulated, radios and TVs announced information concerning relatives gone missing and found dead days after with fang marks on their necks. Humans got fade up! Hesitantly, our ancestors had to vacate the beautiful human territories which served them with the sweetest endless warm blood meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, to find a safe heaven for you and I."

Calming his attitude down from the high, "one of us is about to cause a drastic human massacre in the city called Capricon. I saw it vividly earlier today as I relaxed my body with eyes closed here on my throne," he said in a broken heart voice.

The awaited information was unexpectedly shocking to all.

"Who...?" "It can't be...!" "Really...!" On confounded faces, murmurs from the audience filled the air.

"Monica Yen isa wealthy young lady who has spent all her life time living in human cities with humans," Jelly Spatters replied to the murmuring voices.

"How possible...?!" "Unbelievable!" Murmurs from wondering voices resurfaced.

"This young lady is one of us. However, she is carrying twins daughters in her womb _ one of which is our species and the other one is a complete belong to the human species."

"Impossible....!" Discontent whispers moved around the hall.

"Very possible," Jelly Spatters replied to the voices with a clarity joke, "the reckless young man who married Monica Yen is called Jonathan."

"Hahaha..." laughter from the audience echoed, "indeed he doesn't value his life." "What a careless man! Hahaha..."

While Jonathan was coming from school, he met five year Monica Yen stuck on the streets of Buena City. And since he had no friends, always being bullied at school, the boy chose to introduce her to his parents, who then raised her as their own daughter by that time.

"Monica Yen must be unlived immediately before bad turns to worse!" Loudly, one of the six board members stood up and spoke with a courageous voice.

"Yes, give your orders....," in strong voices, other board members supported his point of view including many other voices in the hall, cheering.

"No!" Jelly Spatters yelled his refusal. "Have you forgotten the rules? Which one of you is ready to die by the red venom portion? I'm so disappointed you didn't pay attention when I was talking. I said it loud and clear that one of the twins in her womb is a typical human being!" Angrily, he emphasized, "we don't kill humans!"

Downcast faces everywhere, everyone went silent.

"In a few months from now, the twins will be born. We shall add more three years ahead just to allow the little human suck more of her mother's breasts _ and when the little human can fully survive on food, then Monica Yen can be terminated together with the second baby," he gave a plan.

"As of now, I'm going to plant a spy in Monica Yen's life who will kill the child of our race immediately she's born," Jelly Spatters put the last nail in the coffin, "meeting dismissed."

Without wasting time, as soon as he sealed off his speech, he walked back and sat on the golden throne. The three mysterious women, who were his mistresses at the sametime, stepped foward from behind the precious golden seat, cooperating hand in hand, and began to feed him on a holly communion cup of blood.

However, at the back of Jelly Spatters' mind was a very selfish reason for killing Monica Yen and her vampire bat daughter yet to be known, other than the reason he put foward.

"The two must die!" He growled in mind.
