It was now 4 AM in the morning and Dracula couldn't stand the pain and agony anymore. Lucas had refused to stop killing vampires along with his brothers all night long. The number of fallen vampires where now 40,000 dead. Katharine had called Lord Dracula to inform him they were fine, as was their prisoner and where to find them.
"Come and lift me back on my feet", Dracula instructed the vampires who were safely hiding in his court. He could not get up on his own from where he sat on the floor. He was in so much mental pain.
They quickly ran to help him up. He was supported on both sides of his shoulders by two vampires.
"Take me to my Generals, to the outskirts of the city, I need to end these deaths now", he ordered.
Katharine was given the huge task of bringing the vampire hybrids to where Lord Dracula was. It was a task Dracula gave to her out of trust. It was similar to the way he trusted Silas and Cobra with very difficult assignments and they did it to the best of their abilities."Also bring a new piece of cloth for the lady", Dracula said, pointing to Nicole. He was being nice to her strangely."Okay Lord Dracula. I'll stop over at her house and get one for her", Katharine said."No!", Angela exclaimed impulsively.They all turned and looked at her except for Charles. He looked at all of them instead."Why did you say no?", Dracula inquired, where he was no
Katharine set off back to Lord Dracula after she had completed her assignment. After a while she arrived back to Lord Dracula. He was in the back seat of the black limousine. His strength was not back yet because the vampire hybrids were still killing in the thousands. Vladimir and Talon were outside the limousine, guarding it. Charles and Angela were both also standing outside the limousine."Katharine is back!", Talon exclaimed as he sighted her. Vladimir looked towards the direction Talon pointed to."It is good she is back", Vladimir said. He waited for her like the others for her to get to them."How was the city?", Vladimir asked, as Katharine stopped in front of them."It is very des
Charles was now in the spotlight, as he broke out in nervous sweats."I am home sick already. Can we go home Angela?", he requested."No!", Angela said. She didn't like the fact he was behaving fishy and suspiciously. She didn't like the fact he was trying to invade the question."Answer the question I asked Charles. Why is this drawing book such an issue, what is inside Charles?", she asked again. This time she was a little impatient and upset."It's nothing actually, I promise you. Just give it to me and I'd explain it to you", Charles requested."I see you are not going to tell me right. Then I just have to see what it contains myself
Lucas and his brothers had continued as they planned to, sweeping through the city in search of vampires and killing them. They had lost count of how many had died in the massacre and now dawn was fast approaching. They hadn't had any luck yet locating Nicole but Lucas was confident his approach had worked. They were some few thousand metres from the home of Nicole and Lucas wanted to stop by before dawn to see if she had been returned home safely by Dracula and the vampires."I think we should pay a visit to Nicole's apartment", Lucas said."I have a good feeling the answer we seek will be there", he said.It was in her apartment all this madness started when he got the note saying she had been kidnapped by Dracula and it was only appropriate it ended th
1There was no longer any possibility that Lucas wouldn't be hit by the speeding limousine. He had failed to move away from its path on time, as he moved backwards. The speeding limousine was now inches away from hitting his legs when Lucas out of nowhere lifted himself into the air by jumping up, as the limousine zoomed quickly underneath him with full speed as the driver lost control of his target which was Lucas and slammed into nearby trees at the side of the road. Lucas had managed not to get hit, as he landed safely on the ground.He looked back at the limousine, which had been involved in an accident. It was smoking from the bonnet."Where is Nicole?!"Lucas said for the first time since he arrived at Dracula angrily. If this was his cheap attempt at killing him then he had failed.
"I said where is Charles?!", Angela asked again, as she caught sight of the limousine, burning brightly like a touch with dark smoke rising to the sky.She got up from the ground without waiting for a response as she went looking for Charles around the crash site but not too close to the flames. She could see everybody else except him.Mark walked up to her and standing a few feet away told her the truth."He didn't make it Angela", Mark said."We couldn't get him out of the car on time", he said."No, you are lying to me. This is some sort of prank right? This is a joke right?!", she asked, sounding a bit delusional. 
Angela was gone and Nicole was lost in her thoughts. Lucas gave her a hug to console her. Whatever she was going through, he was here for her.Dracula and his Generals were still standing where they were. It appeared Dracula wanted to have a word with the vampire hybrids earlier but Lucas was too angry and hostile for that because he had not yet seen Nicole. Now that that was settled, Lucas had their time."Your actions caused me a lot", Lucas said walking towards Dracula. He didn't look too angry but he didn't appear friendly either.His Generals quickly stepped in front of him; Katharine, Vladimir, Talon to protect him.Lucas stopped in his tracks as he looked at them. He appreciated their loya
Life in the city had come to a stand still, as almost all parts of the streets were empty by 7 AM. It was highly unusual for such a thing to happen in a state like California but it did. The vampire hybrids had wreaked havoc in the city and thrown fear and anxiety into people's minds. Alpha White couldn't stand this going on for much longer."I need you - Mildred, to help restore back the former order of the world, were humans think they are at the top of the food chain- the apex predator", Alpha WhiteMildred did not object, she was glad to help. She only hoped the vampires had killed Nicole by now because that would be the only thing that would make the hybrids go on such a grand killing spree without caring if they were exposed to humans or not."Yes A
When Lucas arrived at Mildred's house, he could hear her quietly sobbing inside the living room. The door was not shut, it was kept half way open. Mildred apparently was expecting Lucas to come after her. Because she was crying Lucas pleaded with Nicole not to come inside with him to not aggravate the situation even more but he allowed her to stay close enough to the door to hear everything that was going to be said. Lucas knocked gently and went in. "Why are you here with her? To further compound my mystery?!", Mildred asked, not too pleased to see him anymore. "I now know the true reason why you are so upset with Nicole. I wished I had figured it out earlier but I didn't. It took me this long to figure it out but I am sorry I made you suffer", Lucas sa
Dracula had been brutalised by Ambrosia as he got of him, which meant Lucas and his brothers had no more pains to inflict on him but they had one little request before they left."Announce that all vampires in your territory be summoned to court. You have a big announcement to make about Ambrosia and Mary. I am sure your face would have healed up well before they arrived", Lucas said.Dracula's hands were figuratively tied, he was powerless against the vampire hybrids and they were reinforcing their supremacy over him. Dracula gave his General Apollo the go ahead to summon the vampire originals. Apollo was now a shadow of his former self as he had lost all his courage seeing how Ambrosia dealt with Dracula mercilessly and he didn't retaliate for fear of the vampire hybrids. Apollo quickly ran and did as he was tol
"Mark please get to Dracula before they get to him", Lucas said calmly looking at Mark. The chaos was soon going to get to him and he didn't want him to leave until he was ready for him to."Consider it done!", Mark said, as he zoomed off in superspeed. Dracula had no chance of escaping him."Andrew, please seal off all the exits out of this place. Nobody goes out or comes in with my consent", Lucas said."I got it covered!", Andrew said, as he zoomed off in supermood and did exactly as he was told until the whole fortress was secured. No vampire was able to leave because of how fast he was at shutting the doors.Mark and Andrew now had everything covered as Lucas, Nicole, Ambrosia and Mary made their way slow
It was dawn the next day and Lucas was ready to make good his promise to Ambrosia and Mary. He also had other things he needed to accomplish. He knew the truth about how Mildred felt about him and needed to make things straight with her. He had done a lot of thinking through the night and his amazing brain and pieced together why things didn't go according to plan for her. As always Lucas was going to be going with his brothers to Dracula's territory and Nicole would come along with him as well.They were all ready and dressed. Lucas and his brothers had worn their black outfits as if they were going vampire hunting and Andrew was with his small backpack where their masks were kept. Nicole equally wore her favourite colour black to match with those of her fiance and his brothers. They all looked attractive and fierce as they stepped out of the apartment with Lucas holding on to
"But does that mean we won't stop hiding from the vampire hierarchy? Dracula doesn't know we are with you", Ambrosia said. He knew he and his wife could not tag along with the vampire hybrids everywhere they were going to. It was practically impossible, so when the vampire hybrids were not with them how will they be safe?"I'll have that taken care of tomorrow. I'll inform Dracula and his vampires that you are now under my protection. You are now my friend, whatever happens to you or Mary he will answer to me", Lucas said.Ambrosia looked surprised at him. Lucas had just spoken as if he knew and had spoken one on one with Dracula."Oh thank you Lucas, thank you so much. I can come with you when you go to meet him to direct you to his lair", he offered.
Lucas learnt all he could about Ambrosia and Mary as they stayed in their apartment and one thing that stood out for him was that he was the bridge connecting all of them together. He was the link between the witch, the werewolves, the vampire and even the humans. He understood all of them perfectly and he could be the key that could change everything.Lucas had never thought about his role in that light before until now. What he learnt from Mildred was that he was at the top of the food chain and others below them didn't really matter so much.Ambrosia had lived a long life and there was a lot he could learn even from a supposed enemy. Nicole was supposed to be his enemy too as a vampire but through her he learnt how to control his urge to feed on vampires and how to rather drink human blood bags.&
It is now past midnight and again Lord Dracula and a few of his generals have convened at the neutral zone between their territories. Mildred once again kept them waiting as she played her mind games."I hope the others are in place?", Dracula asked. With him was Mathias, Kim and Tasha. Apollo, Cleopatra and Jones had all gone into hiding trying to figure out the hiding spot of Mildred."Yes Lord Dracula", Matthias said. All they were waiting for now was for the witch to show up and she did."Good, you could finally make it and join us!", Dracula said excitedly.Mildred smiled at him. She was still in her translucent form. Her physical body was somewhere else and she was communicating from there
"Do you know who she is?", Lucas said, as he bent some inches away from them, so he was at eye level with them and looked into their eyes just in case they planned to lie to him. If they were truly out to harm Nicole they would try to pull a surprise strike on him, seeing only a few inches separating them or they would try to lie directly to his face. Whichever possibility it was Lucas was prepared for them all."No, we don't. We have never seen her before now!", Ambrosia said, scared to even look Lucas in the face. He had the aura of death surrounding him."And what about you?", Lucas turned, facing the female vampire Mary."Please I do not know her!", Mary begged, almost in tears. She was still holding tightly and pulling on Ambrosia's shirt.
Lucas and Nicole were coming back from the apartment after having a nice time together. They had spent their evening in the central park of the city taking in nature and enjoying each other's warm company. It's been barely over 24 hours since Lucas proposed to Nicole and she had accepted his proposal to marry him. They had fixed their wedding for the following weekend, something lovely but private. Just the 2 of them with Mark and Andrew. Nicole would have loved Angela to come with them but she was nowhere to be found.As they walked into the building hand in hand, both of them happy and smiling, Lucas picked up a strong euphoric smell on the first floor. He was already used to the smell of Nicole, this couldn't be her. He let his sense of smell guide him to his targets and when he opened his eyes he saw two couples ahead of them making their way to the elevator.
