Ugh, its been a busy busy month...but finally got the story ready...oh and its just the beginning.
Chapter 4
The feeling of Bree's arms wrapped around me feels amazing. She is filled with excitement because of my agreement to join her in the battle. There's really no way of predicting of what the outcome of this war might be. But, that doesn't mean that I won't give my all. The plan is to get Diego and bail. Hopefully we will be able to get to him in time before he's injured or dead. Bree will be devastated if that turns out to be the case... She lets go of me.
"So what's first?" I sigh.
"Well, Riley says we'll leave tomorrow." She says calm.
"Okay, so I'm guessing I'll be a few steps behind you guys. Don't want things to get out of hand too soon." I say pacing back and forth.
"Yeah." She chuckles. "Are you sure you'll be able to handle fighting an army?" She asks becoming doubtful.
I laugh and extend my hand outward. Flames begin to engulf it. Bree's eyes grow wide as she is amazed at the sight. The flames start to become more intense, growing brighter. I quickly point my hand upward and the flames shoot out in the air, lighting up the night sky, making our skin shine like diamonds. I look at Bree and she's smiling. The fire disappears at my fingertips. She begins applauding my performance. I laugh lightly and take a bow.
"Wow. That was... amazing." She says ecstatic.
"Yeah, I think that gives me an advantage over the others." I say cocky.
"You have abilities like the yellow-eyes and Fred..." her voice fades.
"What's wrong?" I ask noticing her smile turn serious.
"Uh, nothing. I just realized that I have to go. Track my scent to the where Riley and the others will be. Please don't be late." She says greatly concerned.
"Uh, yeah...of course I won't be late. I'll track you a few minutes after you leave." I say also growing concerned. But, obviously for different reasons than hers. I'm concerned for her safety. Her attitude changed after she mentioned this "Fred." Who is he and why did Bree get shaken? Could he be a possible threat? She leaves quickly off the building and back to them.
Something odd strikes into my head. 'Her'. She has yet to make an official appearance to an army she created. Who does this? Make an army and have someone else give them their instructions. Makes no sense. Unless... they're just decoys to keep the yellow-eyes preoccupied while she does something else. Which means she knows that the newborns don't stand a chance. They all are going to die. Well except for Bree. I will maim and kill every single vampire or human who dares to even try and injure her.
A few minutes pass. I jump off the building to the ground, cracking it. I follow Bree's scent down to an alleyway. I stop in front of a crooked old door. Bree's scent is all over it. I jump backwards and perch myself up on a open window, out of site. The sun has begun to rise. I keep staring intently on the door, waiting for it to open, to see Bree walk out. I didn't have to wait long as the door sprang open. A young blonde guy steps out. His skin quickly beginning to sparkle as the sun touches his flesh. A large group stepped out a few seconds after. There are only 20 or so of them. I notice Bree in the back next to another vampire. She seemed comfortable with him. Could this be Fred?
They soon all speed off in unison, except for Bree and this Fred. They were talking about something. Bree looks around in puzzlement. I light up my hand as a signal to her. It catches her sight and she grins. She gestures me to come down. I swoop down to where she and Fred were. He looks at me surprised and I quickly fall to the floor filled with revulsion and nausea. I look up to Bree. She seems unaffected. She nudges Fred and he smirks at me. I slowly feel the nausea cease.
"Guessing you got an ability also." I say getting up from the ground.
He just glares at me, not saying a word.
"Don't take it personal, he doesn't talk much." Bree says to me.
"Oh okay, its going to be a lonely eternity." I say gesturing to him.
I start feeling nauseated once again. "Dude, I was just kidding." I say to him... the feeling goes away again.
"Some power, we can sure as hell use it in the battle." I say to both of them.
A surprised expression forms on his face.
"Well, he's not going to fight. He's leaving while there's still a chance." She says to me.
"Damn, guess its just us then." I say to her.
"Yeah." She replies disappointed.
She runs off to join the others. I follow her closely.
I follow her until she reaches the other newborns at the edge of open waters. They seem not to notice her arriving late. They all seem so focused, which for newborns is a rare sight. One by one they each dive into the water and take off with amazing speed. Bree was the last one to enter the waters, shortly after she dove in I quickly run off the edge into the air dive deep into the water. Even with water surrounding me, I can still smell Bree's scent. After a few minutes of swimming behind them they come to a stop. I notice them slowly rising to the surface. I poke my head halfway out of the water. I see Bree looking around, I can tell that she was looking for Diego already. They speed off out of sight into the fields.
I run out of the waters quickly trying to catch up to the newborns. Growing closer the open fields I can already hear the screams of the newborns being ripped to shreds. I try my hardest to run faster, leaving deep footprints on the ground. I make it to the battle site. Its hard to see through the smoke from the fire pits and limbs on the ground. I run into the debris. It was filed with pain and screams and an interesting amount of growling.
A newborn jumps out in front of me. I grab him by the arms and kick him in the torso, ripping off his two arms, sending him screaming in agony to the ground. My hand begins to light up on fire and I shoot out the flames onto the newborn, leaving him incinerated. I continue looking for any sign of Bree or Diego, but nothing so far. Suddenly a big gorilla shaped vampire tackles me from the side. We both fall to the ground. I notice his eyes to be golden. I push him off of me and we both get up from the ground. He attempts to rush me and I grab him by the neck, stopping him in his tracks. I throw him far into the opposite side of me, losing sight of him.
The only thing in my head was Bree. I couldn't find her in this mess. I feel a hand grabbing my ankle and I quickly look down at a dismembered newborn.
