I'm on a roll with this fic.!
Edit: I decided to add a little more to this chapter. Wasn't too happy about the way I ended it.
Chapter 4 In Flames You Burn:
Jake made it to the safety den's door, finding on his way there a torch. Though it was wet from the light blue armor's power, he needed something big to complete his task.
What he thought to use was his jacket to create a good enough flame.
He needed to hurry. He didn't care what happened to him just as long as he got the chance to kill at least most or even some of the Vampires with him.
He wrapped his jacket around most of the torch, lit it with his lighter, then quickly threw it into the den.
There were more screams, but these screams weren't coming from the humans but the Vampires themselves.
Jake only heard very little of his people's screams when he finally woke up. But he knew that these many yells were the Vampires because he heard kids.
As he smiled in triumphant at what he just did for his kind, a blade struck from behind into his abdomen.
He collapsed with only a smile on his face.
The one who struck him was none other than Ryo himself.
Ryo and the others smelt the inferno from the front. And he, being the only one who can actually control it, went to aid his people in the back of the lair, curious on why or how there was a fire going after sending Cye to stop it in the first place.
There was no time to get an answer for that. Ryo had to get his people out of here and contain the blaze.
He knew there were casualties, but he had to try and save the ones who were still alive.
Ryo and most of the other Vampires were taught to never leave each other behind.
Back in the front of the lair some of the humans were killed but the rest decided that this was too much for them and left Vampire territory. A very small number of Vampires were killed.
The Vampires decided to allow the governor to live, and before he left he warned the armored Vampires, still present, that he will find a way to kill them.
Sage and Rowen only looked at each other with confused faces. Rowen rolling his eyes in a silent matter that Sage understood as, "the humans will never learn," gesture. Sage agreed with a slight nod and a small shrug.
The two looked back, for a short time, at where the governor once stood before checking on Ryo's progress with the fire.
They ran to help get the remaining Vampires out of harms way.
When they got there, Rowen wasn't expecting the answer he was about to get.
Kento walked up to him with tears in his eyes.
"Kento," Rowen asked worriedly?
"Some…Some of them didn't make it in the fire."
"What! Yuri! Hoshi!" He was about to run toward the blaze but Sage stopped him by placing his hands on his shoulders.
"No, they can't be dead! No!" Rowen started to cry with disbelief and terror also present. He couldn't believe that he lost his family.
He wished he could re-kill the one who started the fire.
He wanted revenge!
Rowen saw the man, he was told started the fire, lying dead on the ground. He got out of Sage's grip and walked over to the dead bastard.
He picked him up with one hand, he seeing the man's smile. Rowen growled at that. "You're about to get that smile wiped off your face for good! You may be dead and can no longer feel, but you're going to see what'll be like to burn to a crisp! Let your soul forever burn in hell!" With that, Rowen threw the dead man into the inferno.
"Rowen!" It was Cye yelling for him.
He turned toward him but didn't say a word until he saw who Cye was holding. "Hoshi!"
He ran up to them and took his little girl from his friends arms and into his own.
"She's alright, but she's going to have some scars like most of the other survivors," Cye told him.
"I guess there's nothing we can do about that, but thanks for saving her. If only the others made it out alive as well." He, for himself, was mostly referring to his wife and unborn child.
"You're welcome. And I'm sorry for your loss."
"Thanks." He hugged Hoshi, thankful that at least she was still alive, that he was still a father.
Looking back at Cye who was still there he asked, "who else is missing?"
A/N: More about this chapter will be revealed in the next one.
