?He made his way down to the underground market, his knife by his side. The market was known to be one of the dangerous places to be. You could be robbed or killed and no-one would care. He was not about to lose his life in a marker. He weaves his way through sweaty bodies and loud noises, several goods and spices until he found the hunters he'd come for.
He approached their stall, but stood a safe distance. The hunters were vicious, and edgy. Thwoing a bag of gold coins on the floor and rasing his arm as a sign of peace he called out to the head hunter.
"Here's a bag of silver in return for your services." There was a short silence as the head hunter hobbled over to him and picked the bag of coins from the floor. At this point, Reaves stood before the head hunter who was taller than him and bigger. He swallowed nervously, hoping he would succeed. He had to, for Tiffany's sake.
"I need you to keep my daughter safe tonight, while men fight". He kept his words brief and straight to the point. The hunters were not known for their paitence.
Another hunter hobbled forward and spoke with the head hunter in hushed tones, and the head Hunter's face scrunched up in disdain.
"No." He said simply and turned to leave. But Reaves was not having it.
"Why? There's gold". He cried out. The head hunter turned back to him and scowled, and soon after other hunters filed out, their faces unsmiling. Reaves knew he was surrounded and there was no way to escape. If he so much as tried to run, a single spear thrown by a hunter was enough to kill him.
"The Vampires are powerful. We are not about to get killed." The head hunter growled.
One of the hunters stepped forward and sized Reaves up. "Vampires don't scsre me, but it will take more than that--" he pointed to the bag of gold the head hunter held and laughed. The other hunters joined in as well. Their laughter felt like hearing monkeys chitter. "We need more gold".
Reaves didn't argue. He knew the risk they were all about to take and he knew he was willing to pay anything to guarantee Tiffany's safety. He threw two more gold bags on the floor.
"One more", the hunter growled.
Reaves hesitated but threw two more bags on the floor. "That is enough, I have no more".
But that seemed to get the hunters going and even though a.lot of them refused to help him keep Tiffany safe, a few brave hunters agreed to accept the mission.
He made his way back to the station but what he saw made him shudder. Everyone was tense down to Abby. Reaves stood idly by and watched, not sure what to say. This night would determine their fate, he didn't have to say anything. He was going too see Tiffany, if for the last time.
As night slowly fell, Nexus shifted his stance from one foot to the other. He was as tensed as everyone and flirted with the idea of having crystal or Madeline for a last time, if he was going to die. But he didn't want to leave Abby who held on to the scruff of his neck like a lifeline. She was terrified, and this made him wonder what growing up as Dracula's granddaughter must have been like.
He smiled down at her, patting her head softly. She began to calm down, but he could still her tense muscles. He stroked her head to comfort her even as he made eye contact with a downcast Madeline.
The full moon shone brightly in the sky that night, Mary stood in the attic, looking into the distance. She saw everything clearly, the moon providing ample light. She began to pace, her thoughts wandering to the James family. It was going to be a huge blow to them, and she saw it coming.
Meanwhile at the police station, Reaves watched as the werewolves crawled out of the ground, their howls growing louder as they neared them. He looked around as the fight started from outside the police station. The first set of Werewolves attacked the police officers that were outside and also James's men. free(w)ebnovel
He saw a werewolf slice through an officer like nothing, blood splattering everywhere.
"They are here." He muttered to himself. The battle got stronger, everyone falling down as the werewolves tore through them. But Reaves had stopped caring a long time ago. He was grateful for the full moon, as he could see things very clearly.
His eyes searched for Dracula, while he kept pacing. He wanted to have a go at him. There was something in him that made him believe he stood a chance against the vicious vampire.
"Grrrrrrrrrrr", a werewolf scratched his nails against the walls, trying to get in, but his nails burned off, and a horrible smell filled the air. Reaves turned neverously to T. His bravery was begining to unravel.
"Be calm everyone. They can't get in. The station's defenses are so strong that Dracula would never be able to breach the fortified fortress from the outside because of the mana barrier." Tom shouted, but Reaves could see that Tom was merely trying to cover up his own fear.
The mana barrier shone brightly as a werewolf that tried to get in was instantly vaporised.
The werewolves kept trying to get in but couldn't, and with each hit, Reaves the bright blue light surrounding the station reflect. He spotted Nexus at the entrance, fighting off any Werewolf that the mana barrier didn't get. Reaves could not help but be amazed at Nexus fighting skills. Reaves heaved a sigh of relief as he saw how well they were doing against the enemy.
"This isn't a lost battle after all". He said aloud, but no one else answered him. They knew something he didn't. The barrier was efficient, but would not hold them for long.
Reaves glanced at his daughter, Tiffany who was seated beside Madeline and seemed to be deep in thought, and for a second, he wondered what would happen to him if Tiffany got attacked and died. He shook his head quickly, and growled. He was not going to let that happen.
Tiffany twiddled her thumbs and did her best to ignore the loud growls and howls coming from outside the station. Madeline had assured her that Nexus was there fighting off any Werewolf that tried to make their way into the station. She believed Madeline, because she knew what Nexus was capable of. But she didn't believe that the mana barrier would hold for long. She wished there was something she could do.
"Dracula will kill us all of he had the chance, and it makes me wonder what his revenge was." Tiffany said to Madeline, finally voicing her concerns.
Madeline eyed her before replying. She had not forgotten that Nexus was fighting because of her, and even though Madeline was trying to remain positive, she was finding it very hard not to blame Tiffany for Nexus's decisions.
"Reaves is the reason we're in this situation!"
