![]() ![]() As long as they believed I was dead, they wouldn't do anything to give themselves away. If I was spotted alive, he and his men would kill me and the three true vampires. I'd love to have jumped out and shocked Kurda - he was the edgiest of all - but common sense prevailed. Crepsley and Arra hadn't been concentrating so hard on the search, they'd have realized something was amiss - the sword-bearing vampires were edgy, all nervous glances and itchy fingers. I suspected the Guardians of the Blood (weird humans who live inside Vampire Mountain and donate their blood in exchange for the internal organs of dead vampires) of being part of the conspiracy, but I'd thought Kurda was the only vampire traitor - it looked like I was wrong. The two vampires with swords must have known the truth about him and the vampaneze, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to rely on them. I wasn't surprised by Kurda's devious plotting, but I was upset by the realization that he wasn't the only traitor. Kurda was making sure word of his betrayal never made it back to the Generals and Princes. If they discovered me alive, the swords would flash, and that would be the end of me, Mr. ![]() Kurda, worried that I might have somehow survived, must have offered to assist and brought the armed vampires with him. Arra and the other vampire had agreed to accompany him. Crepsley had decided to come looking for me. ![]()
