Chapter 352: This Is It
"Do you also miss her?" Gen asked Nicodemus who was busy with trying to get out of the chains holding him down."I do." She said quietly as if the man was listening attentively.
She'd known the moment she laid eyes on him, exactly what was going on with him. There was only one thing that can make a vampire go feral like this.
Lack of vitality.
Vitality was the lifeblood of every vampire. Without vitality, the body of a vampire begins to shut down.
But if it isn't allowed to, the body
The sounds of commotion reached the room she was in. She listened in for a few seconds more to confirm it.
One of her distractions had worked. Honestly, she hadn't expected even one to make it through. But this had to be a sign from heaven. She was on the right path.
She quickly shape shifted, using her chameleon tattoo to take the appearance of one of the two guards she'd seen.
She stepped out of the room and walked to the ballroom. Luckily for her, the commotion had dragged away the guards there.
She slipped inside and the first thing she noticed was the noise. The room was buzzing with conversation, everybody discussing what they'd just seen.
She ignored that, searching the crowd with her eyes.
She saw James and Anya standing by the exit, giving instructions to a set of vampire guards.
Perfect for her.
She continued her search and frowned when she saw her target was missing. She moved deeper into the room, searching.
She finally found her target on the balcony but she stood there with Ezra and... Connell?
She saw as Connell looked up and their eyes met. She paused. There was something... different about Connell.
Then, the moment passed, Connell looking away.
Gen ducked to the side of the room, waiting until Ezra finished his conversation and left, Connell following behind him.
She watched them blend in with the crowd before slipping into the balcony.
Lana stood there, facing the view. She seemed to be... shivering?
She frowned, wondering just what Ezra and Lana had discussed. But that didn't matter. Not anymore.
She had to kill Lana. Even if everything was swept under the rug, the death of a Count and his successor cannot easily be hidden.
Whatever happens, the Ark investigator would dig into it. They had to.
Gen moved towards Lana, unheard and unnoticed and when she was close enough, she did it, plunging her hand into Lana's chest.
Lana gasped as her heart was gripped and then crushed. She fell down, lifeless.
And there Gen stood, blood dripping down her hands. She'd done it. She'd made sure the investigators would never leave without concluding the case.
All that was left was one thing. And she needed to survive the night to be able to do it.
Unfortunately, it looked like she had been noticed by James and Anya.
"Shit." She cursed under her breath.
It looks like this is the end.
