I refuse to cast my vote for the death of a human being without concrete evidence.

On that note, please excuse me; I'd like to finish getting my cameras set up. If you need me, I should be in my room, around the doors, or in one of the stairways.

I would not have liked to cast a vote either, but these two are apparently intent on taking my life - I can not allow for this to happen, of course, and I suspect that such bloodthirst on their part is a possible indication of something very sinister.

So that's eight for dinner and seven or eight for breakfast.

I 'd better go find that mock turtle for the soup starter. The main course will be spit roast suckling pig with bramley apple sauce and seasonal vegetables and garlic of course. Desert will be Hercules homemade Creme Brule.

Meanwhile gentlemen I have left afternoon tea and selection of sandwichs in the conservatory for those who wish partake of a small repast.

No. They would have to draw straws, sorry.

p.s. I have to go out of town today, and will not be back until about 11pm tonight. d'Heresson and Gunner still have time to vote until around 1pm today. After that please feel free to choose whatever method to terminate the ones you believe to be the vampires.

Mr. Gunner walked briskly to his room. As he walked in the doorway, he closed the door hastily behind him. Breathing heavily he went over the events of the last day in his head.

Images of Mr. d'Heresson off in the fiields flashed through Mr. Gunner's head. Were there two red beedy eyes in the dark...? Was Mr. d'Heresson talking to some creature??? A wave of naseua washed over Mr. Gunner's body as he feared for his life.

Mr. d'Heresson must be the vampire!" Mr. Gunner said outloud to the empty room. Poor Ms. Snowflake!

Mr. Gunner glanced around the room nervously. He walked over to his luggage, pulled out a laptop and connected to his home office. He accssed several historical databases of the region. After several hours of searches and reading mundane articles, there seemed to be no leads.

***CRASH***

Mr. Gunner jumped up in a start. He panicked as he couldn't remember where he had put his handgun. Sweat beaded on his forehead. Alas, he found his gun on the inside pocket of the coat he was wearing. Quickly he pulled out the gun, flipped the safety off, ran to the door and pulled the door open quickly.

Mr. Gunner raised his arm as the door opened, saw a dark shape in the hall, as he started to squeeze the trigger, he realized it was Mr. Tacticus.

"Sir, you almost gave me a heart attack!" said Mr. Gunner.

"My apologies, I was simply installing these cameras as part of the security upgrades. Mr. Tacticus remained frozen as the handgun was pointed right at his body. Mr. Gunner detected no concern from Mr. Tacticus, despite a gun being pointed at him.

Mr. Gunner looked at Mr. Tacticus suspiciously. He wouldn't admit it, but he was curious of the abilities of this seasoned security expert. Mr. Gunner reminded himself that he was more interested in history and philosophy, not guns and violence.

Mr. Gunner reset the safety on the handgun, lowered the weapon. "Sir Tacticus, I must tell you, as our security expert, I suspect Mr. d'Heresson is up to no good." Mr. Gunner continued, "Please focus extra attention on him. He's out of the castle during odd hours and his behavior is suspicous.

With that, Mr. Gunner turned and walked back into his room...returning to his online research.

As mr d'Heresson felt tired after the last night's events,
He sat on a nice bench under a window in the castle.
A shreds of a conversation, kept in a confidential tone, could be heard. "Is it mine name that I've heard?" he thought, when he fell into sleep

Mr. Gunner woke up. Obviously he had fallen asleep on his laptop, the screen saver blazed images of mythical imagery...some of his favorite mysteries of humanity. It was dark outside. He felt cold. As Mr. Gunner rose to his feet, his hand brushed against the keyboard and the screen saver turned off.....what was visible on the screen?

Mr. Gunner leaned down to take a look.... he read the name GEOMODDER on the screen. Mr. Gunner glanced around the room.... he had not typed that name on the screen. It creeped him out that someone was in his room while he was asleep. Mr. Gunner walked over to the door and attempted to open the door. It was locked!!!!

Mr. Gunner ran to the window and looked out. He looked out the window at the darkened scenery. Two stories up was too high for anyone to climb up. Mr. Gunner thought... unless they had climbing gear and were very able bodied...and had a motive to leave Geomodder's name.... but who?

Mr. Gunner's face changed from confusion and uncertainity, to terror. I know who the other vampire is!!!! But who do I tell... Mr. Gunner grabbed a sheet of paper, quickly wrote down a few words. Briskly, he walked up to the door, unlocked it, and ran down the hall...leaving the door open.

Mr. Gunner ran down the stairs and found his way into the dining hall. Mr. Gunner grabbed one of the short swords that adorned the hallways and walls of this castle and in one motion held the paper on the table and sunk the sword into the paper and wooden dining table. As he walked back to his room, it all seemed clear. Mr. Tacticus was rarely around, was not scared of the handgun, was very quiet. He hoped he would not be discovered as the author of this accusation.

Some time later, Tacticus returned to the dining room, dhaving finished wiring the cameras. His eyebrows lifted in surpriseas he saw the note which had been pinned to the table... with a sword. He reached into a pocket, pulled out a notepad, and scribbled a brief note:

Wanton destruction of valuable property; inform Mr. H directly.

He tore of that page and put it back in his pocket, before taking another and writing:

It is my considered assessment, after reviewing the available evidence, that Geomodder is the head vampire, and that he turned Spike last night.

- Mr. Tacticus, non-vampire.

Leaving the note on the table next to the sword, he walked back to his room, and retrieved the forensics kit he'd brought with him, before returning to begin examining the sword for fingerprints.

As he left his room, his eye strayed briefly towards the 'special' case he'd brought with him, the one with the retinal scanner lock. Shaking his head briefly, he headed on down to the dining room.

Dr. Spike sighed heavy heartedly. He couldn't believe how stupid his accompanies were. They must have been so scared that they did not know how to think any more. He cleared his throat, and tried to insert some reasoning to them. "We can't lose our heads people. You are going to need a doctor in these kind of situations. How could I be a vampire? Do I really look like a vampire to you?" Mr d'Heresson nodded his head anxiously. Dr. Spike was getting enraged with the ungratitude from the bioscientist.

"What do you have in your large suitcase?" Mr. Tacticus suddenly asked acutely. "And the black cat."

"He didn't appear shocked at all when we saw Ms. Snowflakes body." Accused Father Nikolai, whose claim was eagerly confirmed by Mr. Smilie. "He acted as if he knew to look for the teeth marks on her neck from the very beginning."

Dr. Spike sighed. "I'm a experienced physician. This is what I do." He tried to speak more for himself, but was interrupted by Mr. Kassiopiea. "You send everybody to search the castle and the island and you stayed behind yourself. Was it because you didn't expect we to find anything?"

"I stayed behind for Mr. d'Heresson, remember?" Somehow Dr. Spike felt his words not very convincing himself. "There are many more important things that we should be considering." He stressed.

He looked at the crowd around him, and said, "Earlier today Mr. Gunner and Mr. Tacticus were supposed to search the castle and Mr. Kassiopiea was supposed to be cleaning the castle. However, they never managed to meet each other. What happened? Who was lying?" He paused for a second, and hastily continued before anybody could react to what he just said. "Father Nikolai found the bloodstains. But why would he go back into the castle after we found Snowflake's body, while everybody else was going toward the opposite direction?" He looked trumpetedly at the stunned group of people, and then added, "Perhaps we should look at each other's neck. If there is one of us who was turned into a vampire because he was bitten by one himself, we'd be able to see the teeth marks on his neck."

Dr. Spike finally stopped his speech. To his surprise, he found that nobody was moving according to his suggestion, instead, they were staring at him, their eyes filled with hatred and scares. He stopped stroking his beards. "Please take care Felix." He said forlornly to Mr. Hercules, before he opened his large suitcase, revealing a box of syringes. He gave himself a shot on the arm, and then another, and then another ... He smiled ... He was feeling sleepy ... He fell to the ground ...

Mr. d'Heresson broke down at the sound of Spike's body hit the ground. "This is not right! Not right!" He screamed, and ran away.

"We need to do more to prevent he became alive again, if he is the vampire." Said Father Nikolai. After they took Dr. Spike's chair in the dinning room, broke two of it's legs and made a cross from them, Mr. Kassiopiea stuck it right into the middle of the good doctor's chest.

Mr. GeoModder's face became dead pale. These people were insane. He had to let Mr. H know. He needed to ask him to send in a ship to get him. Away from them. Away from all these insanity. GeoModder tried to quietly back away. Suddenly he felt a gun stuck to his back. "Where do you think you are going, Mr. GeoModder?" Asked Mr. Tacticus.

GeoModder turned around, and plunged at him in a desperate attempt to grab the gun. With a loud gun shot, his body crashed to the ground. The rest of the group finished the same ritual with his chair in the dinning hall.
