Chapter 4: Alone
The Van Hueson's had found a cave and decided to hide in the back. They planned on sleeping throughout the day and continuing on foot at nightfall. They still weren't sure were they were going, but the moss was growing in the way they were heading.
Alucard was sleeping on the floor beside Cindy. Juliet was leaning against the wall of the cave.
She was dreaming she and Alex were at the movies, watching Indiana Joannie. Their hands were intertwined with each others, Juliet's head resting on Alex's shoulder. Alex was playing with her hair with her other hand. "Juliet I love you."
Juliet smiled, "I love you too Alex. I always have." She leaned up and kissed her.
Mikayla appeared in front of them and shot an arrow into Alex's heart.
"NO!" Juliet cried.
Her eyes shot open and she saw Marcum standing over her, crossbow aimed at her heart. She looked over at her parents and her eyes got teary when she saw her parents had arrows in their hearts. "No!"
"Oh. You're awake. I was hoping this would've been easy." Marcum said.
Juliet growled. "You should've killed me when you had the chance!"
"I have the crossbow remember?"
"Not for long." Juliet kicked his feet out from under him and jumped on him as he hit the ground. She grabbed the crossbow, put the tip of the arrow against his chin and grinned. "When you get to hell, make sure the devil knows you got killed by a teenage girl." She pulled the trigger.
Juliet decided to mourn her parents later, though she just wanted to curl up in a ball and cry. She grabbed the quiver of arrows of the bald man, stuck them on her back and took his crossbow with her. Luckily it was night time and she rushed outside.
She collided into someone outside. Juliet jumped back and raised the crossbow.
Rina raised her hands in a surrender. "Juliet easy! It's me."
"Rina! Jesus I thought you were Mikayla." Juliet lowered her weapon.
"Where are your parents?" Rina asked, looking around.
"Gone." Juliet said, tearing up again.
Rina lightly wiped her eyes. "Don't let it get to you. Not now. You have to be strong."
Juliet nodded. She felt a sharp pain in her left arm. She looked down and saw an arrow was through her left forearm. "Oh god."
Rina pushed her behind a tree and stood in front of her. "Pedro was following me. I probably lead him to you. I'm sorry. Here let's get this out of you." She reached for the arrow but Juliet stopped her.
"No. Leave it in we don't have time."
"I know you girls are there. I saw the brunette. Where's Marcum? He was on your trail." Pedro asked, stepping closer to them.
"He got an arrow in his head after he killed my parents!" Juliet shouted. She jumped out from behind the tree and fired the bow, luckily she was right handed. The arrow stuck in his side. He pulled his bow out and fired sloppily. His arrow hit the tree. Rina jumped on him from the tree branch and sank her fangs in his neck. Juliet watched the girl drain the hunter.
As Rina got up she took his arrows and bow from him. "This should help even the odds."
Juliet nodded. "We should split up. We draw more attention together."
Rina looked over at her. "Be careful little one."
The young vampire smiled. "I will."
Rina took off towards the west. Juliet headed North, in the direction her father wanted.
Mikayla watched the whole thing happen on the security monitors in the hideout not far from Juliet's location. She frowned. "She's going to be more of a problem then I thought." She mumbled to herself.
The former pop star picked up her radio. "Kane, Roland. Two vampires are in section E. One's heading towards the park. The other's going to section J. I'm going to cut off the one in the park."
"I'll head to section J." Roland said.
"I'm on the trail of that crazy vampire now." Kane said.
"Make sure you get them. We don't want anyone getting away like last time." Mikayla said. "Oh. And they killed Pedro and Marcum."
"Dammit!"
Mikayla grabbed her rifle and the bullets with crosses carved into the front. "Don't worry. I'll get one, but one of you better get the other." She put the radio on her hip and walked outside to her jeep. The girl jumped in and drove to the park.
