The Zompire (13 page)

Just as he finished saying this he could hear the sound of helicopters coming close. 

"Great!" he exclaimed. The helicopters got close enough and lowered the weapons using a strong iron cord and quickly left for base again.

They distributed the rifles amongst themselves, then the chief ordered his troops to surround the building. Taking a walk around he came to the well and immediately an idea sprung into his head. He lifts his megaphone again and said to the vampires ……

“I have a plan. Me and my men will come in causing a distraction then if one of you can somehow lift the Zompire and with utmost speed dump him into this dry well. We are coming in in less than a minute."

Then he and ten of his men charge into the building with their rifles. It wasn't hard spotting the Zompire in the dark as he was huge and each officer had a small torchlight strapped to their helmets.

As they entered the Zompire left the vampire he was holding and came to attack them. Without hesitation they started shooting at the Zompire with the bullets containing silver trioxonitride which has been known to weaken him. The dosage in each bullet had been significantly increased this time around.  As bullets rained into his body, the higher dosage started to take effect even quicker than before.  He became noisier and got a bit disoriented once more. As he ran around seeking an exit, the alpha of the vampire clan tore of his own shirt, muscled up and ran towards the creature and lifted him across his shoulders, took him through the glass pane of the window overlooking the well and dumped him into the well. The vampires had adhered to the proposition of the Chief.

The Zompire was now in a confinement which he could not get out of but that wasn't enough, they needed him dead so as to prevent him from surfacing again.

The outsmarted and outwitted beast was now in the depths of the abandoned well, making a lot of noise and trying to find a way back out of the well. He looked up into the lights flashing in his face, and was very angry.

The Chief who was still up stairs came down accompanied by the rest of the vampire clan.

The Chief then asked the alpha of the vampire clan what they should do to end the Zompire finally and he simply replied

"Set the fucker ablaze."

“ Are you sure simply torching him will work” asked the Chief

" YES ….. that would be the only way" he added.

So the Chief sent some men to a truck as there was a few litres of gas in the trunk.

They hastily went and came back holding 2 huge plastic containers of premium gasoline.

They poured both containers’ contents into the well, then the Chief pulled out a small lighter from his pocket, lit up his handkerchief and dropped it into the well. Before the handkerchief reached the bottom of the well the whole well lit up. Growls and groans from the burning Zompire were heard for about 30 minutes later, and they subsequently fired hundreds more rounds of the ammunition with the serum encased in it just to make the effects of him burning even more painful.  After a few more moments and the well’s fire blazing ever so high into the night sky, no more howling and growling could be heard from the mouth of the well. They then heard the sounds of the sirens of the State Fire Service approaching, they must have been notified by the neighbours. The SSS chief then said to the vampire clan

"As much as I hate to see you blood sucking varmints go, I have to let you go as I had promised. You had better get going now before the fire service gets here, or before I change my fricking mind and let my men open fire on all of you now. Don’t take this as me being weak, just take it as temporary gratitude!"

The vampire clan alpha then replied him,

"You don't have a choice Mister. Don’t worry about me and my remaining friends. We shall totally disappear from this wretched country and go elsewhere, and even though this is also hard to say, but yes, thanks for your help ….. HUMAN!"  said the clan leader, bearing his fangs at the SSS chief and licking his lips in a menacing way. He and his remaining members then went off into the woods into the night.

“Are you really going to let them go chief?” asked the second in command.

The chief thought for a few seconds and replied…

“ Yeah, just let them go. I have a feeling we won’t be seeing them anytime soon from on”

“Hmmmm, ok boss, whatever you say. You’re the man in charge,” the second in command replied.

As the fire service officers came in the SSS chief showed them his identity card and assured them everything was under control.  He told the firefighters that the situation was a state security issue and that he need not bother. They fire service men therefore left.

The area was cordoned off. The Chief and his entire troop stood by the well watching the bodies burn to ashes from night into the next day.

Later that day, they returned to the camp from where they continued their journey back to the headquarters. The news of their success reached the Governor and subsequently the media, although none except the members of the troop knew that they were aided by the vampire clan.

Nothing was ever heard of the Zompire nor th
e vampire clan for a long time and it would seem now that all was now well….. or is it!
