"Enough......." the voice said more calmly.

Geno still shook on ground. Whoever spoke slowly walked towards geno, geno was sure they were going to kill for almost offing one of their own.

He flinched when he felt a soft hand on his shoulder.
Slowly he lifted his head to see who it was, it was an old turtle. He wore a comforting smile and offered to help geno up.
Geno hesitated on taking his hand but still did. He noticed that this guy wasn't a vampire and felt a small bit better.

He began to shake violently not realizing that his body heat was extremely low.

"I'm sorry, boy." The turtle said, "these ones out there are young, I'm sorry for all the trouble they put you through."

Geno didn't respond but continued to shake.
The old turtle noticed this and spoke again, "you'll freeze to death if we stay out here, come. Let me take you to our home and get you warm as an apology."

The turtle didn't even wait for an answer and was already grabbing on to geno leading him back to their home. Geno was to weak, tired and cold to decline so he went with it.

......

The only sound geno could hear was the chattering of his teeth and the footsteps. They all stopped at once when the made it to a area surrounded by trees and vines. The turtle pushed past the vines and went into a long wet tunnel.
They all marched into it, geno and the turtle following behind.
"So, where are you from?" The turtle asked.
Geno hesitated, but lied, "a small village in the east. I-I came here because I h-heard if the great hiking mountains they h-have here."
The turtle raised an eyebrow and geno's soul sunk for a second before he spoke, "I heard the village there is peaceful from war! It must be nice -oh dear me. I don't think i gave you my name. It's greson."

"Geno," geno smiled.

"Geno, huh? Is that short for something? It's unusual to have a short name." Greson asked.

"It's short for genocide," geno huffed, "I honestly don't know where my mother was when he gave me that."
Greson laughed at geno's humorous tone and lit a torch.

"We've got somethin' old man." One small kid said.

Greson squinted and moved the torch in the direction of the young vampires. Small to big boulders blocked the rest of the path.
"How bad is it fell?" Greson sighed.

"Pretty~ bad~ old man." A skeleton in red upfront said, "can't even see the fire from the other side."

"Well ain't Dat great!" The same small kid says, "the leada' is gonna catch the whole village on fire when he finds out were late."

"What!?" Geno said a bit too loudly.

"Yeah," the small kid said, they turned around. They were a small deer monster/vampire.
"He's gonna set the whole place on fire just walking over to us!"

"God....." geno whispered, he guessed the leader wasn't someone to mess or disobey with. He still shivered from the freezing cold he was feeling but he was sure more of it was coming from fear.

"Alrighty," Greson says, "I have a half finished salad waiting for me at home and I rather not be late. Fell, you know what to do!"

The one named fell cracked his knuckles before beckoning a few other small vampires to the rubble.

"What d-do you think caused this?" Geno whispered to greson.

"I'm not sure, I'm old and not a vampire. So no night vision of the sort, and definitely can't hear so good cause of my age." Greson said plainly, "But you yourself seem interesting. Are you not in pain?"

"Huh?" Geno said a bit confused but looked down to his slightly blood soaked long sleeve.
"Oh....I, uh, don't want to talk about......it......"

"Sorry I brought it up kid." Greson apologized.

"No need to say sor- Holy shit!" Geno yelled as he ducked from almost being hit with a piece of a small boulder.
"The hell!?"

Geno gasped a bit amazed, fell and the other three vampires were easily smashing the small boulders with their hands.
When it came to the big boulders, all three lifted it up. Small lights started to pour in as they tried to smash it. With a few tries the boulder crumbled.
Geno mouth was wide open in shock, he knew vampires were strong as hell but he never knew they could smash a boulder.
"I'd close that mouth before someone decides to kiss it." Greson joked and geno snapped his mouth shut.
The tunnel came to life with a dull light, at the end of the tunnel geno could see some grass and torches lit at the exit/entrance.

"Come on," the small deer vampire took geno's hand with her hooves. He flinched a whole lot but calmed down. She was just a kid, she means no harm. Right?
They all walked down the tunnel to the end. And geno was at lost for words.

An entire kingdom was located under a mountain. On the ceiling of the mountain there were tiny diamonds that looked like stars. There was so many blue Diamonds that it gave the kingdom a beautiful blue glow. There was a small castle all the way to the end that geno could bearly see. But yellow lights that shined through the windows indicated that someone was there.

"Oh look!" The small vampire deer said as she released geno's hand and pointed.
"It's leader!"

All the small ones ran forward while the older ones sighed and walked after them.
Geno couldn't see this 'Leader' person due to how dimly lit the place was. He and greson stayed still in the place they were, geno could hear some giggles and laughter coming from the children.

"Why did you guys take so long to come back," a voice said, they're voice was soothing and deep and slightly quiet.
"Your parents and I were started to get worried. Is someone hurt? I smell blood."

"Ya," one of the children said and geno could see them all walking to geno and greson.
He could see the Leader more clearly now.
"We found him in the woods. And junior tried to bite him."

"What?" The leader said a bit more loudly, their face was covered with a hooded robe so geno couldn't see their face.

"Ya!" The child chimed, "he was bleeding all over his chest and mouth! And when junior tried to bite him, he lifted him and then-"

"I think that's enough." The leader said more seriously. "I'll deal with junior later, I want to see this monster."

Geno flinched and turned back to the tunnel then looked at greson, "I think I should go, I have supplies in my backpack so -bye!"
Geno was about to run through the tunnel before a huge black and red bat  blocked his way
Geno slightly screamed and backed up.
The bat then reformed into the leader.

Well geno, he was below the average hight of a monsters and vampires are known to be extremely tall.
The leader hovered over him at least four feet taller than geno. Geno looked up at them as they inched closer, flashbacks to the figure that attacked him filled his head.
He didn't know what he did next, but he was sure he heard something snap.

Before he knew it he was screaming at the leader, telling him to go away. He didn't notice at first but geno held a sharp bone in his hand. The other part snapped off when geno tried to attack the leader, but greson used his shell to block the hit.
Geno was too blinded by the emotions that ran through his head to notice the flair of blue and red in his eye and the small children hiding behind the leader and greson.

"Greson," the leader said calmly, "get the kids away."

Greson nodded but looked at Geno in worry. Greson led the children to the right, far away from the leader and geno.
The leader inches closer to geno causing him to lift the sharpened bone at him.
"Get back!" Geno yelled, his hands completely trembled like an earthquake.

The leader still came closer but took off the hood that covered his face. Geno was actually surprised to see another skeleton, his eyes were both black and hollow, but they surprisingly looked calm and gentle. He wore a black robe with some red outlines and sharp teeth that geno feared.
Geno was distracted by his empty eyes that he didn't notice the leader raise his finger.
A similar ting made its way to geno's ears(?) As he felt his small soul and body be covered in magic. Immediately the bone dropped to the ground as geno's arms were forced to his sides. Geno tried to wiggle or squirm out of the magical grip but it kept him still like a tight rope.

"How are you not dead yet?" The leader mumbled to themselves as they got closer to geno.
Geno went ballistic and started to thrash around almost freeing himself from the process.
The Leader stopped coming forward when geno started to flair his blue and red eye in distress.
Somehow in the process geno started to choke on his blood. Greson raced to The Leader's side and grabbed his arm.
"Death, that's enough don't ya think!?" Greson said in a worried tone, "I saw the scout logo too, but you're scaring the boy to death!"

Geno wheezed when death let his magic let go of his soul and body. He fell to the ground holding his throat(?) And trying not to choke on anymore blood.
"Get him to the infirmary, and don't let him out of your sight. I would usually be the one to do these things but it's too dangerous for me to be around him." Death whispered to greson, he put his hood back on and looked at geno who was still shining his red and blue eye at him in furi.
"Check his mental state as well." Death added, "I don't think he's been under treatment. He might be like the one we found a long while back. Keep an eye on him."

Greson nodded as death backed away for greson to do his thing. Greson walked to geno slowly. Geno's eye quickly turned back to white as he saw greson.
Greson knelt down to him and helped him up, this shocked him. He was sure greson was going to tell him to get up and stop being a pest. Like they all did at the scouts.

"Come on, let's get you to the infirmary and get ya warm, okay?"

Yay chapter done.

Fun fact after I was almost done with this chapter I went outside to water my plant and these people outside my house had these orange buckets and called out to me and gave me eggs.

Eggs.
