The Great Betrayal

      
      Last time I started to read book called Cirque Du freak vol. 5 written by Darren Shan. Now I finished this book and many horrifying things have happened. The young vampire could not finish the trails of death and was sentenced to death. But the important most part was that he didn't die with the help of some very close friends. This is what has happened since the last trail.
      Darren had to face the hardest trail of his life which was the trail of flames. Darren managed to complete this trail but he came out very injured and burned. He lived and passed it but he had to be covered all over his body with paper. The young vampire lost all his hair and didn't wake up for a day. After that he had only one day to recover from all his burns. But Darren was in luck because the Festival of the vampires has been announced to be on the day that Darren had to face his next trail which was the trail of the boars. Darren had to face of 2 boars and kill them before they killed him. The festival of the vampires was the day that everybody had to have fun, drink all day, and beat the hell out of each other. I think that even though Darren has more time to rest for the next trail, he won't be fully cured because he had been to injury burned and still sore. At last he recovered more then he expected but he was still badly injured and burned. He didn't get to train because there was no time for him to train since he could hardly move the passed few days. Darren fought the 2 bulls but it was a little difficult for him to kill them both. He killed one but he got squished by it. Next the other live bull came full speed at him trying to kill him. But Darren's little friend came out of nowhere and smashed the bull. Darren was saved but he knew that he had to face the hall of Death. Darren was sent back to his room as his friends tried to talk to the vampire councils and not let them send Darren to the Hall Of Death. Darren waited and waited in his cabin and suddenly the young vampire named Kurda told Darren the horrible news. The vampire councils decided that Darren Shan should die in the Hall Of Death so he could suffer for "Cheating" I believe that Darren shouldn't die in the Hall Of Death because he really didn't cheat in his trail, he was just unexpectedly helped and Darren's a good boy and a damn good vampire that i read so far. Darren didn't know to face his death as a vampire or save himself as a human. Darren finally choose to escape from Vampire Mountain with Kurda secretly so no one would catch him. They made good progress escaping but out of nowhere where another friend of Darren named Gavner caught them. He didn't turn Darren in because they were close friends so he helped him escape. They were almost out of Vampire Mountain but they saw a bunch of horrible, evil vampinize. Darren wanted to fight them but he didn't have a weapon so Kurda and Gavner fought side by side. they secretly wanted to attack them but a vampinize screamed and there cover was blown. They had no choice but to fight them. This is where the Great Betrayal took place.       Kurda and his friend Gavner fought very well in till they had to fight the leader. The leader was tuff but they were tougher. This was one of the best scenes in to me because something very unexpected happen that I never thought would ever happen through out this series.  The worst part was that Darren came back to see what had happened. Gavner had the vampinize leader in the right place where Kurda could stab him and finish it once and for all but he didn't do it. The end to poor Gavner's life was here near. Kurda did not stab the vampinize but instead he stabbed his old friend Gavner right in front of Darren's eyes. I could not explain what Darren must of been feeling that a friend that he thought of as his uncle be betrayed by his own friend. Gavner fell down and died as Darren saw everything and tried to help Gavner but there was no hope left for. Darren in hate grabbed his knife and told Kurda that he was a monster and that he was going to kill him. Kurda didn't want to hurt Darren so he told his vampinize friends to drop all there weapons. Kurda wanted Darren to join him. But Darren never wanted to so he ran as fast as he could with all his injuries. He managed to get to the blood waterfall. Kurda was right behind him. Darren had 2 choices, either to join Kurda and his crew or fall down the well and possibly die. Darren came close to Darren again and stretched his hand out and again said to join them. Darren wanted to get to revenge for his murdered friend so he dived down the well as he screamed "MAY IN DEATH MAY I BE TRIUPHTANT!!!" As he fell down the waterfall going down to Death............
