"Do we have to fly like this! What if someone sees us!?" Tala yelled dangling in Ray's claws as he flew over the ocean, he scanned the horizon all around then shook his head.
"No one here for miles!""Ok but is this the only way!? Kinda hanging here!" She peeped.Ray got tired of her moaning, it's been like this since they took off, he drew his wings hard and spun, throwing a screaming Tala into the air, then timed it right and came under her so she could land on his back."You bastard!" She still shrieked clinging hard on his neck."You're choking me!""You won't die remember!""I'll pass out then we'll fall!"Tala softened her grip and he gave a wheeze "Thanks, how kind of you"She gave one of his ears a slap."Not the ears! They're super sensitive!""Oh? Can't be much different from wolf ears right?""They're extra sound reseptant so they are more sensitive than a wolf's"Tala adjusted herself slightly, she couldn'tRay was flabbergasted, the love of his life, or should he say the 'one' he has always been looking for... A man eater? And this one with him, the Alpha of the two loves vampire flesh?He looked at her sneakily over his shoulder, there was this blanket of mistrust now hanging over him, but Tala burst out with laughter when she saw that face."Would you relax? I said I have a taste for vampire flesh but unlike meatbrain I don't make it a mission to find some""Meat brain?""That's what we call her, it keeps things in order you know? Can you picture we call ourselves Tala the whole time, it would be too confusing""So what do those other two call you?""Alpha, or revenge, or revenge bitch""Revenge hey?" Ray couldn't help smile "So did you get revenge yet?" He asked."To tell you the truth I didn't get a satisfactory revenge, I still have to go after Sabrina and Nathan, I left them for last""I thought for sure you would have gon
During her scowl her heart raced again, Ray was addicted to that sound, be it from Alpha or Flufftail, he stopped to look back but she wasn't there anymore, the only one left was the Tala ahead of him.What would he say to her once he sees her? Would they run and embrace? Would that 24 hours have effected her the same way it did him? She didn't have to be with him anymore, all reasons for them to love each other are now null and void thanks to... Thanks to what?He stopped looking at the sign Tala told him to find, it looked like something a witch would design.If he had a heart, would it be pounding right now? He felt his chest, silent, like that coffin, what does Tala have to say about him having an empty chest? A cold touch, his bleak white skin? The only time she had something to say about his looks was when his eyes went red of anger.He looked around, the streets not overly busy but still populated to a degree, and obviously everything still closed, i
The moment Ray saw that glint of violet instead of the deep green he shattered into bats, out of the thousand eyes he is capable of seeing through now he realised Tala wasn't herself after all, those eyes didn't fit her, the demeanor as well."What's wrong? Shift!" Elaine yelled watching the bats."I need to see him remember!? He's now bats not a single body!" Saffira yelled."Curses! Just blast him then!" Elaine yelled and threw a sphere of lightning, it exploded with a crack sending bats scattering and tumbling, but Ray was barely hurt, he took his swarm back and disappeared around a corner."Keep hitting the swarm! He can't maintain it forever!" Shelai screamed as they were in hot pursuit of the swarm casting spells of all kinds.Explosions and flying debris blew everywhere, the swarm split mostly to avoid the incoming rounds but the collateral destruction still had effect.Ray could feel the fatigue of the constant assault, he needed to go on the of
Ray slowly stood back weighing his options now, this was a pinch, cornered, and the only way out is through them then, so be it, it's time to go on the offensive.As soon as his ear twitched at the sound of the doorknob turning he twisted and shifted, Lia came in first but the fangs of the black wolf slammed over her head, Ray thought this was it but she burst like a balloon suddenly and snakes of all species, shapes and sizes appeared from where her body was.In their hundreds Ray felt them strike everywhere, the larger constrictors had his legs and one huge one coiled around his neck choking him.The venom effects were almost instant even if it couldn't kill him but he still went on to snap his jaws at Elaine who dove away, then at Shelai who also managed to avoid, then feeling the pressure too great Ray burst into bats to escape the snakes, outside the pit of serpants he had to revert to his human form and run, his energy now severely took a hit, but if that wasn't
Tala has experienced the bite of a vampire before, so this will be no different, its not painful, in fact its calming, cool sooth as she remembered, all Tala could figure would happen now is she'd slip into a coma, then somewhere in that darkness she will experience a painless death.For the respect for herself? Being that Flufftail, for selfishly leaving her here to become a blood bank, for telling her she's just an omega destined to be a pet her entire life, but most of all, deep in her, that brushed off love for Ray she got from her, how she wanted more, but that taste of it always enough... She was addicted to vampire flesh, but this vampire here, can have her blood, have all of it.Ray felt a surge of strength return to him already at the first pint that passed his fangs, he reached around and grabbed her muscular body then drew her in tight, her soft gasps barely heard as the taste of her overwhelmed all his senses, he didn't care to hear anything, only wanted more i
Skyler Stander was a reporter for the Escape Magazine in New York city. Head of the mystery department and in charge of filling the third last section of the magazine with anything tomb, sarcophagus, paleontology and basically old dead stuff. She grew up in Kentucky and was always facinated by stories about undiscovered locations especially those with Lara Croft and Indiana Jones.She graduated from university and landed a job at the Escape Magazine department of the New York times. And from there it was as bussy as it could possibly be for her, her boss Frank Del Rio was a man on a mission, and when Skyler showed him her determination he didn't hesitate to send her around the world to recently uncovered tombs.The first one Frank placed his trust in Skyler was a Pre Incan tomb in South America, it was uncovered in 2011 but that time, 2013, there were news of another different tomb discovered at the same location, and Skyler was there to get the full scoop.&nbs
Ray washed his clothes, the only set he had, but since it was wet he had no choice but to wear a towel for the time being, she won't mind right...? He opened the door slowly and found her still sitting like that, wrapped in the blankets.They watched each other eye to eye, communicating in their own special language "I, apologize" he said first."For what?""You must have been through hell"She shook her head "It, revealed things to me, made me stronger I suppose""I should have tried harder to get to you, I should have been quicker""May I ask, of you don't mind? What took you so long? I was waiting for you, I knew you'd come""Lia lied to me, she said I can only have you if I kill the two hybrid brothers, but your Alpha side came to me and told the truth about Elaine""It seems, both of us were made into fools?" She said smiling shyly."I guess we have more in common that we originally presumed""Yes, I kinda like that about us"
Ray felt that heartless cramp in his chest "Me?""I can't deny it, I fell for you Ray, I wish it was in different sercumstances, I wish sometimes you were a wolf, and not a vampire, but I won't lie... I fell for you"He brushed his hand over his mouth "I had this theory, Tala, your heart has the most beautiful sound I ever heard, it occurred to me what do you hear? I have nothing, I feel for you, but that saying feeling comes from the heart, what should I feel if I don't have one? You have this hold over me, almost supernaturally"They looked at each other in silence, Ray heard her heart still in a steady pace "What do you hear?" He asked."Nothing..." She said "But that's just it, you think I don't hear hearts?"He had never thought of it."I hear it Ray, it gives the prey away, it tells me if they realise I'm coming, it tells me if I still have the advantage, am I still hidden? Did they notice me?""But me?""Peacefull... Quiet, I hear nothi
A dark corridor only lit up by faint light so weak the distance between them still darkened out, this was the path Villa took almost her entire life.With Rachel gone many years ago the only thing that drove her to continue was respect to the woman who rose her, taught her not only to be a huntress, but how to be a woman as well, and to make peace with being a hybrid.She was here for her last time, after Ray and Tala married she spent more time with them, got to know them, secretly still a huntress gathering information, but then the day came where Ray and Tala asked her a question that turned her world upside down.The greatest respect ever given to her, no reward, no kill, no trophy ever came close to it, a gift, a blessing, it made her open her eyes and see a brighter future, one free of blood.She first did a tour to ease her heart, and the first way took her to the Yard, where the silver test was conducted, the most horrid form of punishment, if you survive it, the
She's seen two castles in her life time but this one felt warmest even if it belonged to a vampire. Tala looked at herself in the mirror as Annette brushed her hair, never in her life has she felt this beautiful, always there in the forest, what leaves and trees wants to see a pretty werewolf? Mike also never cared of how she looked, and no other alpha even bothered.Annette saw how Tala bit her lip and smiled "Are you worried?""No, not worried..." Tala said and blinked "Am I, beautiful enough?""Is that a trick question?""You vampire women are the pretty ones, us wolves never cared about beauty, the males always wanted us to be strong, smart and fertile, never really caring about looks, so... I never cared..."Annette blushed at her view over it, then shrugged "You care so much about how you look, do you consider yourself beautiful?""Uh~ sort of?""Have you ever looked this pretty for anyone?""No""Then think of it this way, he found
The scent of him dragged her to a stop and her nose twisted around to make sure that was what she smelled.Ash stopped seeing her muzzle in the air with ears flat "What is it?""It's, its Ray, he's here!""Ray? Your vampire boyfriend?""My vampire fiancée!" She snarled at him."What will you do?""I'm going back""You heard your father! He told you to stay away from there"She didn't listen, not in full sprint as to knowing the dangers there she headed back, listening, her nose still taking it in, she came closer and closer, until just beyond the trees she saw them fight."Stay here" Ash whispered next to her, it was clearly a fight of epic proportions since no one else interfered, it went on for long and Tala's urges to join grew.The dim night started fading as the sun made its presence known, this made Tala worry, Ray showed clearly he didn't have a ring if Sol on, he fought like a true vampire, alongside her Alpha self, ho
Vlad and Tala engaged again, she swung a claw but he grabbed it and threw her, as she left his grip Ray came in and struck his face sending him back as Tala did.On the front foot Ray kept the attack going, he jumped up and landed in Vlad's gut but it was a mistake, Vlad grabbed his leg and stood up with him hanging, before Vlad could deliver a kick Tala had his arm in her jaws and pulled him from his feet, swinging and taring, managing not only to free Ray but tare away Vlad's arm and leaving him screaming.The two stood side by side watching the red in his eyes as he glared at his own bleeding stump, then his leer came to them "Don't get your hopes up just yet, you think this is the first time in lost an arm?"Both Ray and Tala felt a chill, Vlad stood upright and the blood dripping from his arm started spinning like thread, rebuilding that arm until it was fully whole."It hurts, I won't lie, but taring me apart will not mean my end, you need to dig deeper! Bu
Ray landed between them and placed Tala down, first pushing her aside to face Helga and Vlad. To him it was obvious this is his grandfather, the features laid deep, he saw his father in him.But now he was stuck between who to face first? Helga? Or Vlad?Vlad made it clear he was attacking the elders, so for now he could say Helga was the initial target, he turned to her, he didn't feel like making introduction to Vlad yet, Helga caused many wolves pain, she will fall here now."Boy, I don't know who you are, but she's mine" Vlad said."You look a little bloodied up, I recon you can take a rest, this bitch not only staked me, but killed many wolves, shattering lives! Wolves I was close to, friends with""And she killed my beloved! This reason superseded yours thousands of years ago!" Vlad yelled at him.Ray took his focus from Helga's panicking face to him, should he tell him now? Or let it simmer."She killed Rachel? I thought you staked her?"
The rush of bloodlust in the air was enough to get the wolves on their feet, Muraco almost tasted it on his gums, walking in front of his group he shot out his claws."What is it!?" Tala asked, she felt that presence in the forest, and it felt familiar."It's a vampire" Ash said smelling the air but his sence of smell was answered by a giggle, behind a tree Lilith showed herself."I've been discovered""Lilith!?" Muraco asked."So the tension rises, the very earth cries as we stand to face each other"Muraco didn't understand what she was up to, he strolled up to them, even so Muraco felt she couldn't be alone, he had to ask "Where is Asena?"Her smile became a wicked grin "The earth shall cry"Muraco moved first when the brush broke, Asena came from behind to take Tala but he dove into the High Alpha as Ash took Tala down to save her.Pinning Asena down he reared at her "What is the meaning of this!?"Asena had tears in her eyes but
"Why did you kiss me?" Tala asked knowing she allowed it."I, I'm not sure" Ray said standing back.She smiled none the less "Thank you""For?""Showing me you care"He smiled also "Of course, never doubt that"Tala turned to the van when Tika came crawling out, she held her head but when she saw the dead pack tears came to her eyes, she looked at Tala "Tika sorry""It's ok, you are still part of my pack right? I'm not alone"The young woman forced a smile "Thank you, but what now?"Tala turned to Ray "The prince of vampires will save the wolves"Tika looked at him, he nodded "Make no mistake""Are you sure?" Tika asked."I am, all I need is a for filling drink, then I'll be ready"Tala folded her arms "You know you can always drink my blood right?""I am aware, but I need you on full strength" he said and looked down "I feel ashamed actually, if I had more confidence in myself I would have gone alone, but
The age old rivalry between vampires and werewolves was a misconception, it was never that they hated each other but merely one battle hardnened man who believes in honor of combat seeking a respected and powerful enemy to commit suicide through foe.For a being walking the earth, cursed with life, and eternity of seeing people be born grow up and die an old man, unable to see the next life, unable to rest, started looking for ways to die, he drank poison, swallowed silver, bathed in holy water, even sat and watched the sun, but his black heart was so far down it couldn't be blessed with eternal darkness, his eternal curse.All who faught against one another built the hate over years came from a stronger killing a weaker, the wolf killing the vampire the vampire killing the wolf, a vicious and misunderstood chain reaction.Victor and Muraco decided it had to stop, somewhere the feud had to reach some sort of stalemate or it will be an endless cycle where no one wins,
Gallant and Ezekiel came next to each other and lifted their capes, they drew their rapiers and held them.Tala didn't even know they had swords, who even uses swords these days!? She blinked when Vlad's great sword came in front of her, it was longer than she was, thicker than her arm, and all she could see in it was her eyes shocked at the scene in front of her."Still with the measly small swords, it is clear you never took honor in the strength I gave you, if they made swords bigger than this I would have had one by now!" Vlad said and held his sword away from Tala pointing it forward.She then realised why he did it! He held it to her as a gesture to 'stay back' he wants to fight two elders by himself!?She stood ready but he's sword came to her again "Don't be stupid now Luna, I have made it clear to stay back, this is my mistake to correct""You are alone sir!?""Is it clear to you to whom you just said that!?"She swallowed "Uh~ yes?"
