Chapter 5 The fight is against Shade Marcus the Narrsissist Vampire King.
Sam stands tall, his chiseled physique a testament to his unwavering dedication to fitness. His bulging biceps and broad shoulders exude raw power, honed from years of military battles. His shoulder-length black hair often falls messily onto his broad shoulders, and his piercing grey/blue eyes seem to bore into those he meets. His tattoos, a striking blend of Mayan tribal and Anunnaki designs, whisper tales of his rebellious past and his defiance against the darkness. As an elder vampire and a skilled fighter, Sam's tech expertise and ancient knowledge make him a formidable force in the world. His raw, masculine appeal is tempered by a hint of vulnerability, a glimpse of the scars he's accumulated over the centuries. After he and Lyra witnessed the boat blow up, they franticly searched with vampire speed but couldn't find them anywhere. Back in the limo he pulled out his Laptop and entered his military code. Then started tracking Kie and Raven's cell phones and the towers they were bouncing off of. He had been tracking their phone's GPS for hours. Something was interfering with the signal, he suspected witchcraft. Then he smiled, as he had located them, just as the signals died. Suddenly the door burst open, and Sam storms in. "Not on my watch, Shade!" Sam growled, his eyes blazing with fury as he displays fangs. Lyra rushes in behind him. Standing side by side, ready for battle. Shade, a sleazy figure appears to fade at times, with eerie black eyes and greying hair, sneered at them from the shadows."Fools," he spat. "You think you can defeat me? with him and all that Verbena, I've pumped into his system. I am the most powerful vampire this world has ever seen!" he boasts.
Kie snarled, his fangs bared. "We'll see about that, Shade. You've messed with the wrong vampires this time." Sam, after hearing that his Boss had been injected with leathal doses of Verbena, didn't hesitate for a moment and charged at Shade shifting into his full Vampire form, tackling him to the ground. His razor-sharp claws ripped through Shade's skin, cutting deep gashes into his chest. Shade roared fiercely, throwing Sam off him, then lunged at Kie. "You'll never leave this place alive!" he snarled as Lyra joined in on the fight. attacking him several times, her speed was impressive. The three vampires snarled and snapped while wrestling with Shade. The fight was intense, with all four exchanging blows and showcasing their incredible strength and speed. Shade was a formidable opponent, and Kie despite his weakened body from the injections fought hard,Kie suddenly appeared behind him, with his claws buried deep into Shade's skull as he attempted to rip his head from his body, pulling from his Mayan powers his strength surprised Shade. As he vanished into thin air, reappearing at the far end of the room.
"What the fuck?" Sam said as he watched him. He'd never seen a Vampire jump in space and time like he just did.
Lyra was busy fighting the witch who owned the yacht, ripping her head off and throwing it across the room. (Kie, who had honed his fighting skills for centuries. He was the rightful heir to the throne, His little sister falling in line behind him. Their father King Nicolaus, the most powerful Vampire alive, trained them together as they grew up, Prince Kieran was considered the second most powerful, and Sam fell in line as third, Lyra was fourth.) In the meantime, Lyra jumps on Shade's shoulders grabbing his head in her clawed hands, her fangs fully extended about to bite clean through his skull, when he vanishes again from underneath her, She scans the room looking for me. She had just been given mindlinked instructions from Kie, *Save Raven!* but what she sees shocks her.. I'm, standing gathering my strength and powers in a whirlwind of my own magic swirling around me. I lift my hand high, summoning my wand, and it appears instantly in my hand. My wand vibrates and hums with energy as I unleash a barrage of spells, each blast striking Shade with incredible force. His skin sizzled and melted like wax in a furnace. The air is filled with the acrid stench of his burning flesh and the sound of Shade's agonized screams. Kie and Sam dodge my blasts as they strike at him clawing deep fatal wounds into what's left of his flesh. As the battle rages on, I grow weaker, but Shade, realizing he is outmatched, attempts to retreat, Kie Strikes with a final blow before he vanishes in a dark swirling cloud of pure evil, and his screams echo through the air, a chilling reminder of the horrors he has unleashed, as he is consumed by the very darkness he had struggled to control. Finding our way through the yacht, we reached the deck and leaped onto the dock, I was safely between all three of them, and the yacht sank from all the holes I had blasted into its hull. Kie pulled me into his arms and turned to Sam with a nod of gratitude. "Thanks, Sam and Lyra, We owe you one." Sam smiled, the blood-soaked wound on his arm, twitching. "Anytime, boss. Now let's get her to safety and plan our next move." Kie, Lyra, Sam, and I knew we had faced the mastermind behind the stalker, the kidnapping, as well as the lives lost onboard the riverboat: Shade Marcus. Kie makes a call to his Father, after telling him what Shade has done, He swears to end his life when he is located and that his entire Vampire army is searching for him as they speak. "Son, are you all, OK? how is Raven?" Niklaus asked "We're fine. He didn't know of my Mother did he?" Kie laughs. "He does now." Niklaus laughs with a deep voice. "How's Raven holding up?" He asked. "She's exhausted. She fought hard and Dad... I don't think Shade is what he claims to be. From what we saw Tonight, he's a pure demon, mid-level I'm guessing" Kie informs him. "Well, that would explain a lot, I suspected as much the night he killed your mother and now his obsession with Raven, this is not good son," he tells Kie. "He seems to be gaining power after each fight, any other species would have been dead with the wounds we gave him." Sam joins the conversation which is now on speakerphone. Niklaus warns Kie, as he reminds him of Shade's last words before taking his Queen's life, he said.. "If I can't have her NO ONE WILL!" "Raven needs protection, Son.". "I will come for a visit soon, I can't wait to meet her. Give Raven and Lyra my love." he hangs up the phone.Chapter 6 Our Growing Family In the limo, still, at the marina, We caught our breath after that intense battle, Kie turned to me with a determined look. "Raven, I know this may seem sudden, but I think it's best if I move in with you. At least for a while. He knew through their conversations, that she loved that home more than anything, it was the only home she had ever known after her adoptive parents took her and Lucas in. My eyes were wide with surprise, but I nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea, Kie. We can't let Shade win and we know he won't stop. I'd love to have you as my guest." We stopped off at De'Lacroix Towers for him to grab a few things and drop Lyra off. Then head to my home which was only a few blocks from where he lived. I unlock the door and re-adjust the protection spell on my house allowing him and the others to enter. Scuttlebutt rushed to the front door to check on me, to make sure I was alright, he knew what had happened through our familiar link. He co
Chapter 7 Meeting the King "As I hear the news that Kie's father's private jet has landed, my nerves begin to flutter like a bird's wings. I'm upstairs, and after a hot shower, wrapped in a towel, frantically searching for the perfect outfit to meet a king. My closet seems to mock me, offering nothing but dull options. I couldn't bring myself to part with my mom's clothes, still treasured after the funeral. So, I venture into her closet, and my eyes land on a showstopper - a stunning black gown adorned with what appears to be diamonds, designed to accentuate my curves. Next, I tackle my hair, waving my wand in a flurry of motion, trying out different styles before settling on a messy, pulled-back look that frames my face. A swipe of kiss-me pink lip gloss and a dash of mascara to define my lashes, and I'm transformed - fit for a king!" *Niklaus*" Sam pulls up next to his plane and waits for him to exit and when he does he hugs his Uncle for a long time, Then heads to the limo ride t
Chapter 8 Where are you? Lyra's screams were drowned out by the sirens and chaos around her. She stumbled through the smoke-filled air, desperately searching for Brent. She called out his name again and again, but there was only silence. As she stumbled through the wreckage, she saw Kie, his face covered in soot, rushing towards her. "Lyra, oh my god, I'm so glad you're alive!" he exclaimed, embracing her tightly. "Where's Brent?" she demanded, her voice shaking. Kie's expression turned somber. "I don't know, Lyra. Raven and I were trying to get you both out when the explosion happened. I didn't see him after that. I saw them and came running, "Oh my god you're ok!" she hugged her as she started to cry, "I can't find Brent." she said as her world went dark again, and she felt herself being lifted off the ground. When she came to, she was in a hospital bed, surrounded by Lucas, Kie, Raven, and Sam. But Brent was nowhere to be found. The authorities told them that the club had been
Chapter 9 True Intent Shade sits on his makeshift throne, waiting for them to arrive. They have no clue that he has taken Brent captive to lure Raven into his clutches. Shade's obsession with Raven's beauty and power is legendary, and he'll stop at nothing to possess her. As Lyra, Kie, Raven, Lucas, Jameson, Sam, and Asher approach Shades underground bunkers, they can feel the darkness emanating from within. But there are little to no guards outside. . "This feels like a trap," Kie says and Asher agrees with him. The air is thick with malevolent energy, and Lyra's heart races with anticipation and fear Kie informs the group That his Father Niklaus and his warriors will be here soon, a sigh of relief is heard throughout the group, but we can't wait.. we have to go in now.. upon entering the the bunkers, they're met by Shade's minions, who sneer at Kie and Lyra but tremble at Asher's presence. It becomes clear that Asher has a complicated history with Shade. They fight their way dee
Chapter 10 Passionate Lovers The next day... Kie waits to hear back from Sam and Asher. I walk in and fill him in, "Brent is out of the hospital and completely healed." "What is this Doctor's name that is working with all species? She seems amazing." he hugs me and gives me a tender kisses. " Well, my lover boy, I giggle, " Her name is Dr. Brooks and she is a specialist in Non-Human Patients." Just as he was about to take me to bed and ravish me. His phone rings... "Sam, what's going on? Did you get them? " Yes Sir, we got them all, where do you want us to bring them?" bring them here, to the Towers, Raven and I are on our way now." he motions for me to call for his other limo. " We will meet you all there in the lobby." Sam had called for fourteen more limos to bring them all to their new homes at the Towers. Some needed medical care, and others were very weak from not eating well. Some of the adults were blinded by the light, Dr Brook had given them the serum so that they could
Chapter 11 The House of Maya Sunrise Kie strides into his office, his confident gait and piercing gaze commanding attention and the smile on his face says last night was very pleasing. Sam, his trusted advisor, awaits him with a grin. "Kie, the Vampire Council has reached out to you," Sam announces, his voice low and serious. "They wish to discuss the recent... developments." Kie's lips curve into a sly smile. "Ah, yes. I've been expecting their call. Shade's defeat and subsequent hiding have left a power vacuum, and they need a new king to maintain order." Sam nods, his eyes gleaming with pride. "And they believe you're the ideal candidate, Kie. Your father will be very proud of your accomplishments." Kie's smile widens. "Indeed. I've surpassed even his expectations. Defeating Shade and shattering his hold on the kingdom was just the beginning. Now, it's time for me to take my rightful place as the new Vampire King of this area." He stares out the high-rise window of his office s
Chapter 12 Wedding Plans Two years have passed since Kieran became King. Much has changed He is loved by all, and I am now accepted as his consort. Lyra and Brent's union was accepted also after a heated debate. They agreed that Dr Brooks, who was admired among the vampires, would oversee any developments. With all that in place, Kie was ready.. He casually informs me that it's his birthday and that Lyra has arranged a formal gathering for tonight. "Now why didn't I know this was your birthday?" I questioned annoyed. " Well my dear, you never asked." "I have to go shopping," I said on my way out the door. "See you tonight love." he waves as he continues with his paperwork. After I'm gone, Kie calls Lyra to make sure everything is ready. She says that they are almost done and that it will all be ready on time. "Happy birthday, Kie!" she added with a smile.*Niklaus*Niklaus hears the news and with great sadness, he wonders how he'll ever have his mate now! She doesn't even know th
Chapter 13 Wedding day Shade saw how easy it was to get into the tower, but when he saw all of the Vampire council there and that NiKlaus might be here soon, he decided to wait a little longer to put his plan into action and left the area. He had been thinking about her past he knew who her real parents were. She's not just a Witch she comes from a long line of Shamans, She's a full-blood Apache who he has stolen with her older brother when they were just toddlers. No one is aware of who took them, they ended up in an orphanage because he hates children. It's believed that their parent Rose StormCloud had angered a neighboring tribal shaman and he took them. He had located her aging mother and had been watching her closely. Mrs. Rose StormCloud knew the demon man was out there but didn't know why. She asked Chief EagleWings to do a sweat-lodge for answers and in her vision, she saw her babies growing up together in a strange house. Her heart cried with joy that they were alive. Then
