Preface
"David…David. DAVID wake up, man! You're drooling on me!" Hal pushed the sleeping slayer off roughly, wiping off his shoulder.
Bella looked back from the front seat at the two huge hunters in the back seat, acting 12 year olds. They made the roomy interior of the H3 look like the back of a Civic. As David straightened up, he had to tilt his head to the side, to keep it from hitting the roof.
"Long night, David?" Bella teased as he came to.
"You know it!" He growled and winked at Hal.
"Thanks for that." Hal rolled his eyes, obviously unwillingly picturing David with his girl friend.
"Well, you better sober up quick pretty boy, we're almost there," Rick said eyes focused on the road. He massaged his left temple with the hand that wasnt convulsively gripping the steering wheel. Rick was worried. Bella didn't understand why, this was just another assignment from the U.S.I; four vampires on a killing spree she, David, and Hal had to put in the ground.
"Relax Rick," Bella nudged him, and taking a cigarette from her coat pocket, handed it to him. "Why the hell are you so worried anyway?" He put it between his teeth and lit it.
"I don't know, its just…weird. Why four vampires would take out a whole apartment building… they're not that stupid. Even new borns." Its true, it did seem suspicious. Most were more sporadic when killing, but it was all the more reason to find and kill those SOBs while they could. Who knew what more they could be capable of?
"Its not unheard of, nor unexpected from vampires." Hal spat the word.
They all hated vampires, they were taught too but it wasn't like most didn't already. They were slayers. They were trained to kill vampires. They weren't exactly human; they were inhumanly attractive, and their blood was inhumanly enticing to vampires. But they lived and breathed as humans did. There came few perks to being a slayer, heightened senses and abilities, partial immortality. The great strength was entertaining, the speed exciting, the super senses…not so much. It was hard to concentrate when you could hear conversations from yards away, and smell the humans having it too. As for the extra time, well, most didn't live to experience those extra years. Each had a death wish, but no one dared ask why. Only someone looking for death would be crazy enough to turn slayer, because eventually, the hunters became the hunted.
As for Bella, she was born a slayer, into a family of slayers. Her father and brother were few of the most renowned of her kind, and she followed swiftly in their footsteps. She was better than any other slayer in U.S.I.
"I don't care what the hell they did. I haven't killed a vampire in little over 46 hours and a kill's the perfect chaser to hard liquor!" David shook Rick's seat. Bella couldn't help but smile, she was itching for a fight too. There hadn't been too much outrageous vampiric activity in the east coast lately, and she was getting restless. But three slayers on four vampires was hardly a challenge, and Hal and David were prone to sharing. She wasn't expecting a very eventful night.
Finally Rick pulled the H3 over to the curb, in the middle of an abandoned street just blocks away from the now condemned apartment building. It was the kind of place where the street lights were shot out, windows were boarded up and no body would come running if they heard someone scream. Perfect for vampires.
In the back seat Hal pulled out a black duffle bag and unzipped it, revealing a plethora of steel blades. He began dealing out the weaponry to their appropriate owners, each tucking the blade in a holster, pocket, shitkicker, etc. Bella stashed one on her back under her jacket, one in her boot and the other she strapped to her right thigh.
"You ready?" Hal looked at Bella who smiled, and David.
"HELL YES!" he screamed and jumped out of the car. Hal followed, rolling his eyes. Rick turned to Bella as she was getting out. "Be safe." He said, eyes still weary. Bella smirked and jumped out of the car. Rick sped off.
"Smell anything?" Hal asked. Bella took a deep breath in, and didn't catch anything.
"No." She pulled out the knife that was strapped to her thigh, and in one quick motion brought it to her left wrist, and made a cut, just above the artery. Blood dripped in rubies to the asphalt below. The air filled with the scent of her blood.
"That should get 'em here quick!" David laughed. And sure enough, when the wind changed they could smell it. They sickly sweet smell of vampires. It made Bella want to spit. And it was coming closer. Bella turned to Hal and David. "Ready?" She asked, and wiped her wrist on her jeans. They nodded.
"Rocks, paper, scissors, shoot." They shook their fists. Hal was paper, David was scissors and Bella was paper.
"Damnit!" Hal and Bella cursed simultaneously.
"HA-HA!" David laughed maniacally. "Mine!" He sauntered over to the direction of the scent, and drew an 18 inch knife from his leather trench coat.
"Just finish them quick hard ass! Quicker than last time at least, and less mess, I hate having to clean up after you!" Hal hollered. David flicked him off.
And then they appeared, at the mouth of the street, hungry. Two males, two females. They were definitely new borns. The look in their eyes was crazed, which made things more difficult. Newborns were stronger, but sloppy in technique, but definitely stronger than regular vampires. Though, they were no problem for David.
"Hello fella's!" He waved. The newborns seemed to have a revelation, we weren't human. They backed away, almost panicky. "Oh no you don't!" David charged at them like a tank, throwing punches left and right at first, then using the knife. He hooked a male in the mouth, then swiveled to decapitate the female coming at him from behind. Hal was right, he was messy. His technique wasn't refined but it sure as hell was affective. Within a matter of minutes the females and a male were dead. The last male managed to get away while David was finishing the female, and he came charging at Bella, eyes black. She grinned wickedly, and pulled the dagger from her back, and ran at him. When they were about to collide, Bella jumped over the male, and upon descent sent the blade into the vampires spine. He took a few more steps and fell to the ground.
"No fair, Bella! That was mine!" David yelled.
"Self defense, David." Bella shrugged and went to retrieve her dagger.
"You owe me one!" He pointed his blade at her.
"I'll call Rick," Hal sighed and pulled out his cell phone.
But then, the wind changed; became harsh, forceful. The sky grew dark as the tops of the buildings became enshrouded with black clouds, the ominous sound of thunder, echoed through the streets. It hit them. The sickly sweet smell, only in a greater magnitude than before. This time it was much more powerful, and very close.
"Fuck." Hal cursed. It was a trap, they were cornered on this street, and Bella knew exactly who set it. Her muscles went rigid. She looked at Hal who mirrored her horrified expression. He mouthed 'Run'. But it was too late.
"Hello, Anya," Bella swiveled around to meet the burgundy eyes of a vampire.
"…Hadrian" Bella muttered, stunned. He smirked and lunged at her, but she jumped back quickly. She caught herself and rolled, landing in a crouch. She snarled. Bella looked around, they were surrounded and outnumbered. She looked at David and Hal who were already in fierce combat. She was barely going to make it out of this alive. But she had to, there was no alternative. Hal and David…she thought, unsure what would happen to them. She began to panic.
"Its been such a long time, Anya…" Hadrian advanced. "Ten years? Why, I hardly recognize you." Bella had enough. She reached for a small dagger in her boot and threw it at Hadrian, he caught it of course, but the message was clear. He grinned maliciously. She went for him, blade in hand ready to strike, when she was intercepted by another male. She was barely able to side step his attack that almost sent her sprawling. Another male attempted to attack from the back, but she was faster. She twisted away and lunged at the vampire, her blade piercing his throat.
She killed off four, but they just kept coming. She was getting tired, they were so quick and well trained. A female hit her hard in the back of the head, and the ground began to spin, and her ribs weren't doing to well either after a side attack. She managed to look over at David and Hal, Hal seemed to be holding his own, but David was slowing down too. He already fought off three newborns, and his brutality wasn't helping him with these vampires who easily avoided his brunt attacks. But most of the vampires were coming after her, and she was having difficulty; there were just too many.
She heard a loud cry and she looked over to see David fall to the ground. She looked at his body with wide eyes, and wanted nothing more than to run to him. Hadrian took advantage of the distraction, and attacked, catching her completely off guard. He lunged at her again, this time his fist connecting with her stomach. She doubled over in pain and he was behind her in a flash, catching her left wrist that was holding her blade in one hand, his other arm around her neck. He pulled her arm back almost breaking her elbow, she heard the bones cracking, and loosened her grip dropping the blade. He brought her wrist to his mouth and licked off the blood that was still flowing from the wound she made. Bella heard another harsh cry and out of the corner of her eye she saw Hal fall, just as David did. No. She was not going to let this happen. With her free hand that was grasping Hadrian's arm, she reached for the blade, strapped to her thigh.
"Now are you going to cooperate?" Hadrian tightened his grip around her throat and Bella winced.
"Hell….No!" She choked out, and drove the blade into his stomach. He released her, and she ran for it. She didn't know where the hell she was going, but she had to try. She ran through the streets her heart pounding, lungs aching, and they were following her. They were right behind her.
Out of nowhere a hand grabbed the back of her jacket, and pulled her sideways, into a car. It was Rick. He pulled her in through the driver's side and laid her on the passenger seat. As soon as she was in, Rick floored it and the H3 lurched forward. Bella felt sick, her vision dimmed in and out, her ears buzzed, and her head was pounding. Her mouth filled with blood.
"Bella!" Rick was shaking her. "Bella, Bells you have to stay awake!" She was straining to hear what Rick said, but the buzzing was getting louder. "Bella!" All she could see was black, and her body went limp against the seat.
