Chapter 3: Chapter 3 : Ibram Death?
☞ Old Mansion Front Gate , Northern Cell city , Pegasus.
Three cars pulled up to the gates of the old mansion. The cold wind howled from right to left, cutting through the air like an icy blade.
George stepped out first, pulling his coat tighter against the chill. He chuckled as he checked his gun, spinning the cylinder for good measure.
"Well, Guys, it's now or never! Ha! Don't say I didn't warn you," he said with a mischievous grin.
Tara rolled her eyes, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. She knew George was showing off—he always did, especially when William wasn't looking. William, her Brother, stood beside her, calm and composed as always.
"Calm down, George," Albert said dryly.
"We're here for a bit of fun, not a shootout."
Albert popped the boot of his car and grabbed a bag filled with snacks.
"Right, everyone! We're here. Let's make this worth it. I've got vodka, crisps, and a few surprises." He winked as he slammed the boot shut.
Tara sighed. "Surprises with you usually mean trouble."
Albert laughed, leading the way through the creaking iron gate.

| 23 Minutes Later |
The group had set up in a circle in what once might have been the mansion's grand ballroom. The air was still cold, but the warmth of laughter and chatter pushed it to the edges.
They sat on blankets, surrounded by piles of food—crisps, sandwiches, and, of course, beer bottles scattered about.
George raised his can of beer high. "To the best night of our lives! Cheers!"
Tara nudged George. "I'm starting to think we should've stayed home."
George smirked. "It's harmless. What's the worst that could happen?"
From the shadows beyond the flickering lantern, something shifted. But no one noticed—not yet.
" Hey Albert , Josh !! Did you hear something from that direction!? " George raise his beers to left direction towards Mansion back yards.
" Wait , maybe some Animal? Take your gun out !! "

☞ Mansion Backyard
The cold wind stirred the heavy fog that lingered around the old mansion's backyard. The moonlight barely pierced through the thick clouds, casting eerie shadows across the overgrown hedges and cracked stone pathways.
Sarah stood close to Ibram, her crimson gown flowing behind her like a river of blood. The dress shimmered faintly, its deep red appearing almost black in the dim light. It clung to her figure like an ominous presence, the colour as eternal as the mansion itself.
---
Simply " Horror ".
Suddenly, the faint sounds of laughter and cheering broke the uneasy silence. Sarah's eyes darted towards the direction of the noise, her grip tightening on Ibram's arm.
"Do you hear that?" she whispered, her voice barely audible over the wind.
Ibram nodded, his brow furrowed. "It's coming from the front of the mansion," he murmured.
"Could be trouble."
He glanced at Sarah, his protective instincts flaring. "Stay here. I'll check it out."
Sarah stepped forward, defiance flashing in her dark eyes. "Not a chance. If there's danger, I'm coming with you."
He hesitated, scanning her determined expression. The dress she wore seemed to absorb the dim light, making her appear like a wraith standing against the gloom. He couldn't deny her—he never could.
"Fine," he said with a reluctant sigh.
"Stay close. And if something happens, you run. Even if you are strong but today is Red moon so he are now a regular human being, Understood?"
Sarah smirked faintly. "Understood. But don't count on me running."
The two moved silently through the backyard, the sound of their footsteps muffled by the soft earth. The cheering and laughter grew louder as they approached, echoing ominously in the cold night air. Whatever awaited them beyond the crumbling garden wall, it was clear it wasn't part of the mansion's usual silence.
Ibram clenched his fists, ready for whatever might come. Sarah, her crimson gown trailing behind her, looked like a ghost haunting the mansion's dark past.

On the other side, Josh, George, and Adi were making their way toward the mansion.
(Ruhr, Tara, and Albert had decided to stay back to look after their belongings.)
✧ | { At that moment, Max William's oldest son, arrived at the temple to investigate what was happening. Upon hearing that his brothers were at the mansion for a picnic, he began walking in their direction. } |
"Hey, Adi, do you see those shadows?" Josh asked, his voice shaky.
Adi squinted into the dark fogg, but before he could respond, Josh grabbed George's gun.
---
"What the hell are you doing?" George snapped. "Give it back, or things might get out of hand!"
Josh tightened his grip, his eyes scanning the area nervously. "I think someone's trespassing on our land."
Before George could argue further, a cold, creepy voice cut through the air.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The voice sent a chill down their spines. It was Ibram.
George froze, his mind racing for an answer. Adi, on the other hand, was paralyzed with fear. His eyes locked onto Ibram's, which glowed with a dark crimson and eerie blue light.
"Guys, should we run?" Adi stammered, his voice trembling. His hands and legs shook uncontrollably.
"I don't feel good about this."
Ibram stepped closer, his tone icy.
"This is your last chance. Leave now, or you won't see tomorrow morning."
Josh, unfazed by the warning, nudged George.
"Hey, George, look at that girl behind him. What do you think?"
George glanced past Ibram at Sarah, her red dress shimmering faintly in the dim light. He felt a strange coldness but nothing more. Although they didn't see her face
Josh smirked.
"We should have some fun with her. Then we'll say they were trespassers. What do you say?"
Ibram caught Josh's words and turned slightly, whispering so only Sarah could hear.
"Sarah, you need to run. They have a gun and some mysterious thing like barrier."
Ibram see something in George chest like locket which glowing .
Ibram thought :
[ What might that locket be ? ]
Sarah has full confidence that Ibram could handle this human punk. So she now running towards forest.
( To night is Red moon. So she don't have any power , she is now has a regular human body )
Ibram warn Sarah , because only thing can kill vampire if they destory there Heart.

For a moment, it was as if the entire world fell silent. No sound, no movement—just an eerie stillness that gripped everything in its hold.
Then, in a sudden burst, birds flew out of the trees, startled by a deafening sound. It was unmistakable: a gunshot.
In the front yard, Albert, Ruhr, and Tara froze, confusion etched across their faces.
"What was that? And where is Rocky?" Tara whispered.
Albert glanced toward the path their brothers had taken.
"We need to check it out. Now."
" Yes , Rocky said he will bring water !! "
The three began to move, their steps quickening as they followed the trail toward the mansion's backyard.
At the same time, Eithan, who had been approaching from the east, also heard the shot. His instincts kicked in, and he broke into a run, heading straight for the source of the commotion.

☞ Mansion Backyard
Adi's face was pale, his body rooted to the spot. "What have you done, Josh?" he stammered, his voice trembling.
Josh stood frozen, still gripping the smoking gun. His breath came in short gasps as he stared at Ibram.
George shouted, "Josh! What the hell are you doing?"
Josh didn't answer immediately. His hands shook as he pointed toward Ibram, who was now standing unnaturally still.
"Did you see that?" Josh's voice cracked.
"His teeth—they just grew longer! And those wings… black wings came out of his back!"
George and Adi turned to look at Ibram, who now loomed in front of them. One of his wings had been torn off by the gunfire, black feathers scattered on the ground. Blood dripped from the wound, yet Ibram didn't flinch.
Josh's voice faltered as he continued, "I was scared, okay? That's why I shot him!"
Adi's feet felt like they were stuck in ice. He could barely breathe as he whispered,
"What… what is he?"
Ibram glared at them, his eyes glowing with an unnatural crimson light. Despite the gunshot wound near his chest, he didn't fall. He didn't even waver.
Then, without a word, Ibram's body began to dissolve into the air, vanishing like smoke in the wind.
Josh dropped the gun, his voice barely audible.
"He's gone… just like that. Did I… did I kill him?"
No one could answer. The backyard fell into an uneasy silence, broken only by the sound of footsteps rushing toward them from the front yard.
---
"Look here... it's his wing," Josh muttered, pointing to the severed black wing lying on the ground.
Before anyone could react, another figure appeared from behind them. It was Eithan, their older brother. He stepped forward, his piercing gaze fixed on them.
"What did I just hear?" Eithan demanded, his voice heavy with concern.
Josh hesitated but quickly tried to cover the situation.
"Brother, it's nothing. We just saw a big bird flying toward us, and… and we shot it, that's all."
Adi opened his mouth to speak, to tell the truth, but the sharp glances from Josh and George froze him in place. He lowered his eyes and stayed silent, fear keeping him rooted.
Eithan's expression darkened. "Give me the gun. You guys are sure a PAIN"
Without waiting for a response, he reached out and snatched the weapon from Josh's trembling hands.
At that moment, Albert, Ruhr, and Tara arrived, their faces pale with worry.
"What's going on here?" Ruhr asked, glancing around.
"We heard a gunshot."
Albert looked from the gun in Eithan's hand to the others, his concern growing.
"Is everyone okay? What happened?"
Josh stepped forward, forcing a grin.
"It's fine, really. We just scared off some bird. Nothing to worry about."
But the unease in the air was impossible to ignore, and the black wing on the ground told a different story.

Deep within the shadowy forest, a sudden ray of light pierced through the darkness, illuminating the Vampire Queen's pale face. The light came from the eye of Ibram's severed wing, connecting her to the events that had just unfolded.
As the vision struck her, she froze, her crimson eyes widening in disbelief. Seven faces flashed before her, each etched with fear and confusion. Her hands trembled as the truth sank in.
Anger surged through her, mingling with an unbearable grief. Tears streamed down her face as she whispered,
"Today… was meant to be our day."
Her voice cracked under the weight of her sorrow.
"Our wedding day… and now…" She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.
With a shaking breath, her grief turned into fury.
"Because of them... because of him!"
She dropped to her knees, staring at the vision. Her heart burned with rage as she made her vow.
"I swear, by every god that watches over this cursed world, I will find them. I will make them pay."
Her voice grew colder, more venomous.
"They will beg for mercy, but I will grant them none. They will scream, but no one will hear them. Their suffering will be endless."
In that brief moment, through the eye of the wing, she saw him—the one who held the gun.
It was Black hair boy . {Eithan}.
Her tears dried as her lips curled into a vengeful snarl.
"You will regret this, White dress," her eyes tear of blood.
"You and everyone with you."
[ Eithan William - Oldest son Of max William and also he is very high successful man ]
{ It was misunderstanding for Sarah to think Eithan was the one who killed Ibram. }
Author note - ( Although it's not for Vampire Queen . Only way she can die is you have to destory her full body ) + ( Did Ibram just die ? )
