I was about to go to River when so beneath the surface of the water Grabbing a pair of goggles frolass and stood at the edge of the sub down to the dark waters, I tried to ht was reflecting tooles and dipped down Beneath the surface I looked toward the direction of where the light see from, and almost sed a mouthful of water in shock

Perhaps a hundred ht shot toward them Five black submarines were surrounded by dozens of divers in black suits, all aret far, far away from here

I was about to haul myself back onto the submarine when a diver ca up atout of the water and back into the control room, I just prayed that in the few seconds that diver saw me, he had not been able to detect that I was a vampire I hoped he’d assu this way

I urged the vessel forward as fast as I could in the opposite direction

"Ben?" River called "What’s going on? Can I come out?"

"Just… stay where you are for now," I replied

The strong sea wind entered the control room as the sub sped faster and faster I breathed in a scent that chilled me

Hued the vessel forward, but it was already going at h the hole in the screen and looked round, trying to trace the source of the blood Then I caught sight of two sub after us

No

"Ben? What’s going on?" River’s voice again

I didn’t answer her

If those hunters catch up with us, this is the end of our journey The end of us

Navigating the submarine, I had been so focused on the two vessels behind me that I only noticed the one in front when its ser submarine than ours and was positioned deliberately to block our path I swerved to the right to avoid it, but the two sub in As all three worked together to trap us, it became clear to me that it was only a matter of time
