Unexpected

Shocked by the club owner’s change of heart, Scott and Sardonyx followed Vandell in his private room as the bouncer guided the door behind them.

“Take a seat.” Vandel said as he plopped on the clear dross from them.

“What are those?”

Scott asked as the teenagers sat on the couch.

“Solar bullets. Guaranteed to try any vampire in a snap.”

“Why did you save us?” Sardonyx said asked.

“Your faster mom saved my ass a few years back few years back couldn’t save her so sparing her strays was the next best thing.

“How’d you Malia?” 

“We were partners in the force. Back when I give a damn about humans.”

“She had a partner?” Sardonyx said.

“You think a human could survive in an agency filled with monsters without pairing up with one could survive in parabola?”

“We’ve never been there.”

“Count yourself lucky. As dangerous as the human world is Parabola’s ten times worse.”

“ How so? “ Scott asked.

“ Every creepy monster that your mom told you about growing up are real. Hell , I’d be surprised if she didn’t tell you about most of the folklore that exist in Parabola. “

“ Doesn’t sound like you want to go back there. “ Sardonyx implied.

“ Like hell I do. That world is riddled with monsters that would make all those acolytes I killed look like puppies. “

“ How did Malia survive going back in forth ? “

“ She might not have had fangs or been able to cast spells, but your mom was one of the only humans to study the basic principles of traveling to a mystical world like Parabola and actually survive the transition. In fact , she was a leading member of the research division of L.I.F.E. She helped break down a lot of the enchanted items that the force obtained from folklore who tried to cause harm to the human world. “

“ We had no idea. “ Scott said.

“ Seems like there’s a lot about Malia Bishop that you didn’t know. “ Vandal said as he drunk more of his pint. “ If my establishment wasn’t expecting unruly visitors in the next hour, I’d go into full story time with you kiddies. Hell, I’d even supply the damn popcorn. “

“You said you were in the force how’d you end up……..” Sardonyx asked before interrupted.

“ Being a sleazy club owner who does the princess’s dirty work ?” Vandel said. After I got canned from L.I.F.E, I asked her mom for protection and to stay in this world. She gave me a job as a club owner of this place in exchange for giving her intel on the force procedures.”

“Procedures?” Scott asked.

“L.I.F.E can only step in the human world to hunt down folklore if they are a threat to humans.” Sardonyx explained.

“It’s a bit more complicated than that sunshine. But I hate talking politics.”

“Speaking of politics those vampires who grabbed us. They were guards of princess Dola. I can tell by the bat Crest on their Suits.

“The acolytes she sent them to me to capture you two in case you showed up.”

“What were they going to do if you called?” Scott asked.

“What else? Take you to the princess.”

“Thanks for the save. But I’m gonna need you to make that call.”

“That must be the wolf in you kid. Running stupidly in the thick things is the last thing you should be adding.”

“We have to get to crest immediately.”

“I’m trying to repay my old partner by keeping her orphans safe. Why would you get yourself in the screwed up grip of that bitch Dola on purpose?”

“To save my mom.” Scott shouted putting a battled expression on Vandel’s face.”

“The queen is alive ?” Vandel asked.

King Nollax has her. I need Dola help to save her. Vandel took out a pint of blood and drunk it heavly.

“Fine. But your gonna need this”

Vandal tossed two yellow balls to Scott.

“What are these?” Scott asked.

“Sun grenades. Perfect for killing any vamps that turn on you. Just remembers you only get to use each of them once.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank me by taking that spoil bitch out of power. Ever since her mom disappeared she’s been talking most of my proceeds?”

“Now, I make a call”

Moments pass as Vandel escorts Scott and Sardonyx outside the club in the princess granted.

“Tell me why were in these damn chairs against?” Scott asked.

“We stand better chance at getting the medallion if we reason with Dola instead of fighting her.” Sardonyx said.

“Do yourself a fever half blood Vandel said take Dola out and keep that Medillion away from those damn mutts.”

As the three of then were conversing the royal guard appeared before then in a burst of light along with four acolytes.

“Teleporting Nice perk to being the princess’s bitch.”

“What happen to the acolytes we left behind?” Lincoln asked.

“The half blood and his fae took them out before me and my boys could chain them up.”

“You’re telling me four of the princess’s top guards were takes out by two kids?”

Daisy asked.

“That would should crazy if one of those kids weren’t a Vamp wolf.”

“Doesn’t matter”

Winston said. Princess Dola can always get more foot soldiers.

Vandel kicked the teenagers to the ground and lincoln pulled Sardonyx up by her hair.

“This bitch tried to fry me.”

Sardonyx grunted as the blood sucker pulled her hair.

“Save your appetite.” Winston said. The princess wants both of them in tact.

“Fine.”

Lincoln let Sardonyx fall to the ground before the acolytes pulled her and Scott of the ground.

“Consider your debt paid. Daisy told Vandel the princess will let your club stay in business for another three months. Rent free.”

“How kind.” Vandel said sarcastically.

“Lets go.” Lincoln said before the guards teleported away with the teenagers.

“Good luck, Half blood.”

Vandel said as he drunk a pint of blood. “ You’ll need it.”

The guards around within the Castle, holding the teenagers prisoner.

“Home sweet home half blood Winston told Scott.

“Creepy place. All this power and Dola never thought to decorate this place?”

“ Funny . your gonna need that sense of humor to deal with the princess.”

“Speaking of which where is my blood sucking half sister anyway?”

“Hello, bastard.” Dola greeted Scott as she appeared from a swarm of bats rushing through the windows.

“The guards each took a knee as the princess landed in front of them.

Dola walked forward Scott grabbing him by his face and holding him up.

“My , my. You have our mother’s eyes. Too bad your tainted by wolf blood.”

“Let go of him.” Sardonyx screamed.

Dola flicked her hand and pushed Sardonyx away through away through her telekinesis.

“Don” Scott yelled as she slammed the witch in the wall.

“Tell me, Bastard did you grow up with any clue of who our mother was?”

“My human mom told me she was dead.”

A humans always trying to cover the truth.

Dola toyal with Scott as she suspended him in the air.

“Was it hard for you. Growing up an outcast?” not a vampire not a were wolf. All you knew was what you weren’t. The harsh reality of Scott’s discriminated upbringing dawned on him the vamp wolf shut is eyes in resentment as Sardonyx witness the complexity of his anguish.

“Shameful.” Dola uttered. But threat not Even bastards have their parts to play in this kingdom.

“Let go of my brother you heartless bitch.” Sardonyx snapped.

The princess waved her hand and inflicted a telekinetic hold on Sardonyx that crusted her body gradually.

The enchantress screamed in agony as Scott watched in horror.

“Don”

“Those chains keep you from performing magic Enchantress. Said Dola too bad the same can’t be said about your mouth.

The pressure continued to cripple the witch until Scott spoke out.

“Stop it please.”

The princess stopped torturing Sardonyx at the mentioning of her mother.

“Really?”

Dolla released Sardonyx to the grand as she questioned her half brother.

“How do you know this?”

“His dogs told me that he’ll let her go if I give him the other medallion.”

Dola propelled Scott to the ground before pressing her foot on his neck.

Do you take me as a fool? Half blood Even if the queen was alive,, why would I give my medallion to the disgrace to her blood line.

“Your highness” said the hooded magic appeared beside her before whispering in her ear.

The princess nedded to her fea before removing her foot from Scott neck.

Very well, the half blood.”

The princess removed the medallion from around her neck.

“Release his chains.”

“You highness” Winston said. I don’t think….”

But Dola unleashed a fury of crimson dark energy to incinerate the royal guard.

“Wisnton” Lincoln and Diasy called out.

“Who next?” Dola asked.

The guards unchained Scott, terrified of their monarch’s temper.

Dola float to Scott and placed the medallion in his hand.

“Keep in mind I’ve absorbed more than enough of the medallion’s magic over the past couple centries. So you still would half no chance of beating me for the throne.

“Screw the throne; I just wanna save our mom Scott said.”

“Amusing. The queen abandoned you and you still want to save her. The human raised a weakling.”

“Whatever. Now let my real sister go.”

“Silly Bastard. What made you think my medillion was free?”

The princess pulled Sardonyx from the wall and suspended her in mid air.

“What are you doing?”

“Scotty” Sardonyx cried before her mouth was covered by the chairs around her as the extend to her face.

“The humans would call this …….. an insurance policy. Bring back the queen and both medillions in two days or your real sister dies.

Scott fell to his knees at the ultimate’s presented to him.

“Fine. I'll get you that stupid medallion. Just please don't hurt Sardonyx. “

Good half breed” Dola smirked. The royal guards will accompany you to blood stock. I’ve casted my magic from the enter the kingdom without being eradicated by the spell. As long as they stay close to you, they’ll live.”

“Yes your highness” Lincoln and Daisy begrudgedly said.

“Now leave.”

Scott pulled out the sphere given to him by Golith and prepared to depart.

“Hold on.” Scott told the guards.

The royal guards each touched the sphere as Scott pressed the wolf shaped emblem, teleporting them away.

“Are you certain about this, Magic?” Dola asked.

“Yes your highness . Soon the true aire shall be unstoppable.”
