In the large room there was a round table, for obvious respective reasons, enough to hold more that twenty seats, though the room was wide the tension made it feel small.
Raphael sat down on one chair, Ray next to him, on the complete opposite side Asena had her seat, but Tala had to remain standing, she was not a leader."They will start arriving shortly, I suggest no greetings to those you know, no speaking out of terms" Raphael said looking at those with him.Duke, Jane and Leopold stood behind Raphael against a wall, Ray could clearly see they where there to protect him.The first to arrive was Lilith, she gave the room a scan but upon seeing the familiar faces she just blinked and headed over, taking a seat next to Raphael.Farah arrived after, her seat next to Asena. Tala could see the pattern here, wolves one side, vampires on the other, still divided even if they are willing to be in the same room together.She felt bubbles in her stomach when sAsena smiled "Yes, I am high alpha now""How?""Its hard to explain to a vampire, say it like this I've lived long enough, us wolves have enemies on all sides right? We are mindless beasts under the moon""Age? You say live long enough and high alpha might be achieved?""In a manner of speaking, I also found a new respect for the wolf and the moon, you'd be surprised that looking at the moon is one thing, but chasing it is a different story""Explain?""Try basking in moonlight for a week, it has to be that, I found a way to it"The entire room wasn't following her."I ran, a werewolf is faster than you might think, run from one side of the planet to another, where you can of course, and insure you follow the moon""You lie" Fitzgerald said."Yes, I'm sorry, it's a lie""How dare you!?" Raphael said."There are loads of secrets you vampires keep from us as well Raphael, why should I share my ultimate achievement with you?"
"So!? Whatcha running from!?" Jason called over the coms."I'm not sure you'll believe me if I told you" Skyler said trying to forget it as much as possible."I've seen alot of fuckedup shit in my life missy, trust me, I doubt you'll surprise me!"She decided to tell him half the truth "From the US government""What!?""Apparently two secret service agents wants to drag me into some bad shit, and Claire managed to get me out of it"Jason chuckled "Yeah, Claire Claire, is she still as beautiful as always?"Skyler nodded "She's a tough cookie""I know, that's why I like her so much, it's just sad that our worlds are very far apart, otherwise I'd marry her I swear"Skyler smiled and looked out the window, with the now pink sky she could see they were well over the dessert, she didn't even notice, in her mind they should be leaving the continent, not going deeper in."So, miss Stander, where are these tombs at?" Jason asked and Skyler we
There was a separate room large enough to hold a crowd, but those who came together stuck together. Chunks of raw bite sized meat was on a long table for the wolves, and champagne glasses with blood for the vampires.Tala stood watching this entire affair, in all her chaotic life she never saw this level of perfect considering the lot of them here are all monsters in their own way, she blinked and looked at another table, there atleast where normal food for the wizards and sorceresses."What's wrong Flufftail? I thought you would have cleaned this table by now?" She heard a voice, her own voice."Alpha"Reaching over she took a toothpick with three blocks of meat and slipped it into her mouth "You're doing well""Am not! Didn't you hear what just happened in there?""Are you sad?"Tala folded her arms "No, no I'm not" she said sarcastically."Well, its not a final verdict just yet, you heard those elders right? See ya"Tala watched
"Fuck! How do we get out now!?" Skyler yelled but Jason was only smiling, he drew his gun on her again."You see my dear, I heard another thing we need to awaken our master is fresh human blood, and that's where you come in""You bastard! You promised to let me out safely!"Jason only flicked the pistol indicating she should start walking, she followed his command, but at this point Skyler wasn't sad anymore, she was angry, in the past two days she has never been taken for a fool this much, even Claire was tricked, she started thinking of ways to save herself, because if she was going to die here, she'd rather die trying to save herself. As they came around the first corner Jason stopped her."What!?" She hissed."Look you idiot, aren't those holes in the wall a bit obvious?" Skyler saw he was right, and only in three sections with gaps in between before the next corner."I'm sure someone wanted to make sure no one gets in here" Jason had the torch low
They taunted they threatened, but all was empty, Claire effortlessly faught off the vampires that came for Skyler, as a werewolf under the full moon there were few who could rival her. She kicked the heap of vampire remains then smiled, but suddenly another landed in front of her, when he rose she saw it was Vlad himself and her ears sagged."We meet again my dear Claire, missed me?""How!? How did you escape!?""Well, lets just say Jason wasn't all the man you thought he was"Claire leapt at him, she clawed but struck only smoke, his laugh that haunted her nightmares echoed all around her again."I know fare well I cant beat you now Claire, but in due time, I will grow stronger until I'm at my full power again, for now I will leave you, next time we meet we settle our score once and for all"Silence fell again, Claire heard her heart pound in her chest, this is bad, she knew Vlad won't be tricked to a tomb the same way as before, she had no way of defe
Tala couldn't help feel hollow every time she came into that room, now the second time yes, but it felt one too much, more negative things await her and Ray, she felt it.That silence as usual humming in her ears, how could people, beings capable of rational communication remain this utterly quiet in each other's presence, even alone in that forest years ago with no one to talk to or nothing to do but survive, there was always the sound of something.Birds, crickets, frogs at the river, the occasional babble of hikers. She went to stand in her corner again with Kaylee, its odd no one addressed her of anything, yet she is here, a Fay, is she important enought to stand here? Tala felt maybe in this second round of tension between wolves and vampires she'll find out, maybe more, since the the only magic wielder who opened his mouth was young Hector, not even the age matured Jasper had anything to say."We have come to a conclusion" Ezekiel said "Prince Raymondias is to a
"The queen!? Haha, funny" Skyler said with a pout."No Skyler, next to him you're the most powerful vampire on earth... Feeling any urges to kill people yet? You know? World domination and all that?""World domination!? I'm a reporter for the Escape Magazine in New York! What the fuck am I supposed to do as a vampire!? I can't do shit! I can't go out during daytime anymore, and that's part of my job!"Claire burst out with laughter."It's not funny!""No, your situation isn't funny but you are, I've never met a vampire of your capacity who worries about such small thing as keeping a job""But? What else am I supposed to do?""Relax for now Skyler, sleep, that's what vampires do during daytime, I'm also tired, lets rest up for the day then tackle this dilemma tonight""Uh, ok"Claire layed down on her bed not getting under her blankets, Skyler peeked out of the closet but shut it when she saw Claire was still bare."So, you alwa
Claire laughed with her hand over her mouth."What!?" Skyler asked."A vampire telling me the idea of drinking blood puts it off?""Yeah! Maybe I don't need blood?""We'll see about that" Claire said and tore open the cap of the bloodbag, the smell instantly caught Skyler's nose and she felt her thirst quadruple, Claire held the bag up swinging it like someone tempting a dog with a bone, Skyler came out towards it, hands stretched out.Claire gave her the blood and she instantly started sucking it out, when the bag was empty she sighed and looked at Claire."Rub your tounge over your teeth" She said and Skyler did it, she felt the elongated fangs there and gasped."That's right, your fangs draw back nice and deep, the tips line up with the rest of your teeth so it looks normal, accept for the sharpness though, but if you see prey they grow out like that, and that is like a warning for you, if you feel they came out you'll know your thirst is too mu
