"Whatever it was, they had to kill it", he thought to himself.
He signalled Mark with his hands to stay calm and remain in his hiding position, he turned and did the same to Andrew, signalling him to stay in his spot.
It was now twilight, the sound was now a couple of seconds away from the path, as it's steps and growling could be heard even more loudly than before.
The brothers braced up for what was about to come, their rifles set to fire, all pointed towards the path.
"Steady", Mark whispered with a breath of air he exhaled, as he aimed his rifle at the direction of the noise.
His heart was pounding fast as he could feel sweat drops roll down
"Wow, such a thrilling story!", Nicole said excitedly, as she sat down on the bed from her lying position. It was fascinating to her."It must have been really scary for you dying on the floor of the woods", she said, relieved he was still alive."I never knew you had two other brothers, would it be safe to meet with them? I would like that very much", she said."I'll see if I can arrange a safe meeting", Lucas said."Thank you","So tell me, I am dying to know what happened in the morning?", she said excitedly."Okay, back to my story", Lucas said.
"It worked!", he exclaimed with joy.Lucas, on hearing that Andrew could now see clearly, reluctantly gave it a try, as he found it strange to trust a voice that he wasn't yet familiar with. He focused on his hands and his eyes focused and he could see his hands clearly."They look different, I know", Mark said from where he stood as he observed Lucas and Andrew staring strangely at their new form."What happened to me?!"Lucas asked angrily, first looking at his hands, then looking at the figure of Mark as his eyes for the first time focused clearly and could see him."Wow, what happened to you!", he said, as he caught sight of the impressive figure of Mark's body.
They arrived just outside their town a few seconds later. The sweet and pleasant scent they perceived from miles away in their camp was now stronger than ever before."Look, we can get some clothes from that line over there, they look our size" Lucas said, as he pointed to clothes hanging on a line at a house."Let's go", he said, as they zoomed off.They quickly put on the clothes on the line before the household could notice anything was missing."I can smell it even more now," Lucas said quietly, referring to the sweet and pleasant smell. He followed the trail of the scent until it led him to the window of the house, where he could see a mother and her two daughters playing inside. Dad's clothes were the ones on
Mark and Andrew first noticed Lucas was missing by 9 PM. They had looked for him in his bedroom and outside the apartment but he was nowhere to be found."Could he have gone vampire hunting without us?", Andrew asked."Let's go and check his stuff, let's see if his custom is still in the apartment", Mark suggested.They both went back into their apartment and searched Lucas' room."Yes it is here", Andrew confirmed after finding it. His new clothes for hunting and mask were still in the shopping bag as they bought it from the mall earlier in the morning."So since he is not out hunting, what could he be doing?", he asked Mark.
The beta werewolves were in a race against time, they were running as fast as their four limbs could carry them. They had to get to Alpha White in time to inform him of their findings.Adalwolf howled as he approached his territory, he was five minutes away. His howl was an emergency signal to alert Alpha White."The beta werewolves are approaching with great speed, they must bring urgent news", he said, as he stood in wait for them.It didn't take long before the four of them arrived. They ran faster than they ever did in their lives."Alpha White, we have urgent news from Dracula's lair", Adalwolf said panting."Tell me", Alpha White instructed.
The beta werewolf faced the incoming vampires head on as he crashed into them, ripping two apart in an instant. The others swarmed over it, tearing and biting it from all angles. It fought back, breaking free and ripping a further two apart before it was once again covered by dozens of vampires. It stood no chance against their numbers and coordinated attacks.The others moved into the werewolves' territory destroying their homes and burning them. The other beta werewolves came together as one to stand a fighting chance against the thousands of vampires in their home. They were about 98 and outnumbered 1:51."Attack!", a beta werewolf screamed as they ran towards the vampires in battle formation breaking through their ranks and ripping them in their numbers as they weren't through.
Dracula and his army of vampires were fast approaching the location of the witch and the 500 werewolves. He knew the camp of the werewolves would have splitted by now into two. He was confident his vampire originals could take on the few werewolves and the witch.He could now see the witch and the werewolves standing their ground, ready in battle formations as he approached from the distance."Spread out and get ready to encircle them!", he yelled, instructing his vampire army.He didn't want to hit the werewolves while they were still tightly packed. It would be easy killings for the werewolves.Dracula and his vampire army were now seconds away from contact with the werewolves as he pulled back a
The werewolves quickly retreated, shaking vampires off them and running to the opening at the back.The witch got on the back of one of the advancing werewolves as they charged forward. They knew the vampires couldn't catch up with them at their top speed, they were simply going to outrun the vampires back to camp.Dracula could only watch helplessly as the witch and the werewolves got away. Her craftiness had saved the werewolves but not for long.As the last of the lightning strikes ended, he ordered his vampires to give chase, they were going to fight the final battle at the outskirts of the werewolves home.***Alpha White raced as fast as h
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.
