As if Marceline could read Beatrice's mind, she spoke up, introducing herself properly without giving away the fact that she was already a werewolf.
"I'm a descendant of gatekeepers from the Zhou Family. I will ask you again. What business does a vampire like you have with my friend?"
Beatrice was taken aback when she heard that. She didn't expect that she's a member of the gatekeepers and at the same time, she could tell that she was a vampire.
"I'm a werewolf, not a vampire," Beatrice remained pretending even in front of Marceline.
'Who knows… this Marceline is close to Cedric and the members of Triple W?' Beatrice thought to herself.
Marceline just stared at her for a moment. She didn't believe her at first as Stella could not sense any werewolf vibe around Beatrice. But she couldn't smell a vampire scent as well.
'Who is this woman? Is she really Stella? Then who is the woman whom they called Lady Beatrice?'
"So… why is werewolf a interested in my friend?" Marceline rephrased her question.
"I'm sorry but I have nothing to do with this… so you mean… a vampire kidnapped your friend?" Beatrice chose to feign innocence. She was cautious about Marceline. She was a gatekeeper so she couldn't hurt her.
Besides, she didn't want to make trouble. If a gatekeeper would become missing then there would be a huge fuss about this.
"I'm just passing by," Beatrice added.
Marceline didn't believe her completely. She was still waiting for the vampire whom they called Lady Beatrice.
"You should leave now and bring your friend. If vampires are involved, then let me handle this." Beatrice had decided to send them away before Marceline could figure out her true identity.
"What are you going to do? Kill them? I can't let you do that!" Marceline blatantly said. If Beatrice was indeed a werewolf then she would try to attack the vampires. She cared for them because of Kira.
"Why? Are you going against the werewolves? Are you helping the vampires? The gatekeepers from the Zhou Family have a history of helping vampires." For some unknown reason, Beatrice didn't hate Marceline for that, knowing that she was on the vampire's side or rather she was neutral.
"I hate werewolves because they killed my parents. Will you kill me too?" Marceline asked her. She was being honest with Beatrice because she also wanted to test something.
"Hmm, you know that I can't hurt you because you are a gatekeeper. Is that the reason you feel confident while facing me?" Beatrice said with a mocking smile on her face.
"I'm not afraid of you even if I'm not a gatekeeper. So don't look down on me. This is a piece of friendly advice from a stranger." Marceline moved closer to Beatrice, tapping her shoulder.
Beatrice frowned because of her actions. She was now annoyed by Marceline's gutsy behavior. She exhaled deeply, trying to calm herself. She had to control herself from hurting Marceline.
"Alright. Then let's both leave this place. I will pretend that I didn't see anything here. Do you want me to drop you at your home?" Beatrice offered her.
"No. Let's go find someone," Marceline suggested. She needed to find Dylan. "Can you carry us in your wolf form?"
Beatrice: "..."
Beatrice was not able to utter a word. She could hide her identity as a vampire and copy a werewolf's traits and human appearance. But she only had one flaw– she couldn't transform into a werewolf form. She was not that powerful to do that.
"No way. I'm a princess. How can I carry a mere human from my back!" Beatrice refused to do it.
Marceline raised her eyebrow, eyeing her suspiciously. She could sense that this woman was hiding something.
'Is she fake? And what princess she is talking about?'
"Sigh. I have no time to spare. I need to find Dylan as soon as possible." Marceline mumbled.
Beatrice's eyes lit up when she heard that name. 'She knows Dylan as well?!'
"Wait. Come with me. I have a way to locate Dylan. I know him," Beatrice said, catching Marceline's attention.
Marceline just nodded her head as she was not surprised that Beatrice knew Dylan. They were both werewolves, right?
With that thought in mind, Marceline tried to carry Lyca, following Beatrice behind. Beatrice already contacted the two vampires, asking them about their current location.
Dylan was still currently hunting Julius. And the other vampire responded to help his comrade. Beatrice stole a car from the passerby. She utilized the car as she couldn't use her vampiric speed in front of Marceline.
,m Marceline also felt the same way. If Beatrice was not around, she would use Stella's form to search for Dylan. She and Stella would be faster than a car.
Lyca was still unconscious in the back passenger seat. Marceline decided to drive the car as she was in a hurry. Beatrice didn't object as she was not used to driving a car.
A few minutes later, Beatrice regretted letting Marceline drive. She felt like she was riding a rollercoaster the way Marceline drove recklessly at a very high speed.
'Damn! This woman… doesn't act like a woman at all!' Beatrice lamented to herself as she held on to her seat tightly. She tried to look calm and composed but deep inside, her head was already spinning from nausea.
It did not take long when Marceline stopped the car at the entrance of the forest. This was the Northleaf Timberland Forest.
'So the vampire went here to hide from Dylan?' It made sense because they could hide from the eyes of the public if they would go here. And this was one of the nearest forests to the Golden City.
"Let's separate… and look for Dylan," Beatrice suggested before stepping out of the car in a hurry.
Marceline just glanced at Lyca who was still unconscious. "Wait for me, Lyca. I have to find Dylan…"
Marceline also left the car, searching in the other direction. She didn't know whether she was worried about Dylan or the vampire whom Dylan was chasing after.
Marceline closed her eyes and tried to focus on her environment. She was concentrating while using her super senses. She was listening to every moment around that forest and trying to trace Dylan's scent.
GROWL!
'He's there!' Stella informed Marceline after hearing Dylan's loud growl.
Marceline sprinted to the area where Stella detected Dylan's presence.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
