Chapter 37 - The SymJin

Jax

Nearing midnight, the first darkness of the new day fast approached. Adelaide, Arthur, Ethan, Caelyn, Victoria, Dr. Xavier, Mayumi and me had been busy preparing the best we could with the little daylight we had left before the vamps impending arrival. Mostly we scoured the area separated into three teams searching for the elusive Red Eyes since it was believed they were our best hope for a victory or at least the best hope for confusion, giving us a better chance of escape in the fighting.

Arthur took the twins, Mayumi teamed with Ethan, while Adelaide and I paired up with the doctor to keep a close eye on him. As stealthily and carefully as possible, each team searched out groups of Red Eyes hiding throughout the maze. Our plan was simple enough; coax them into a fight with the vampires when the time came, but we had to be extremely careful not to get caught in the fray.

Thankfully lady luck was on our side and it didn’t take long at all to locate groups of Red Eyes. Then as planned when a group of the once human creatures were discovered, the team that found them would climb up the nearest hill to be as close to them as possible without being noticed. Once on top the team would blink their flashlights four times to let the other teams know they were in position and waiting for the signal to engage.

When the last team of Arthur, Caelyn and Victoria finally found a large pocket of Red Eyes and flashed the “all ready signal”, midnight was mere minutes away and we were ready to execute our plan to defeat or at least escape from the vampires.

My heart along with Adelaide’s and the doc’s was thumping fast and loud, yet none of us dared move to avoid alerting the Red Eyes of our close proximity. For a moment deathly silence prevailed as we lay on the cold mounds of earth.

“Are you sure they’re coming doc?” I asked, starting to doubt his information. But my doubt only lasted a moment, when we heard what could only be described as heavy rain smacking Lake Michigan and it was coming nearer by the second.

Eerily it was the same sound I’d heard once before on the lake, but this time it was much louder, like an ovation of rasping claps as hundreds if not thousands of vampires sprinted across the water at high speed, their bare feet slapping the calm waters below them. The deafening clapping noise became thunderous before it ended abruptly and again the silent darkness took command. Although we couldn’t see them yet, we knew the vampires were on shore and close by as a strange static of evil electrified the atmosphere around us.

“Lure the vampires into the maze. Stir the Red Eyes into the battle. Escape to the safe zone in the melee.” Adelaide said aloud over and over, as our bodies tensed with anxiety preparing for our run.

“SYMJIN—SHOW YOURSELF AND YOU WON’T BE HARMED.
