Chapter 8
Kane stood in a room of the darkest creatures he had seen and fought before.
These were the monsters he and the others hunted, they were the ones after John Cena, claiming that he was a vampire prince. His footsteps were cautious, yet very confident as he made his way across the room. Some stopped and looked up at him, others chose to look away and not get on his bad side. Odd thing was, Kane could sense them differently. Before the power felt like an alteration in the air, this time, it was a cold sensation that brushed over his skin. As he scanned the room, there was a sight that caught his eye. A small band in the corner were gathered. They circled and snickered to what they hoarded away from prying eyes.
Kane could feel it.
A warm glow escaped from the table and reached him, there was a light that managed to come through the smallest gap between the men. Kane went over and pushed his way through. On the table looked like the same ball of light that guided him to the castle. It moved frantically about as the men began to drop various objects, trying to crush the little thing. He jumped as one hand came crashing down onto the table, pinning the poor thing under his hand. It was a vampire who gave a sickening grin. "So, who wants to wishbone it?" he asked. Just has his hands was about to slide across to the edge of the table. Kane's hand went down upon it. The vampire slipped out, leaving the little creature in Kane's grasp. The table backed away lowly as Kane slid his hand over and took the frightened thing. He stared around to see who would dare make a move.
"You got to pay for that! It's rare!" the vampire called.
Kane smiled under his masking. "Name your price"
A grin followed on the face of the vampire, he looked over Kane and took in his scent. "Strong man, must have strong blood."
His price made everyone turn and look, no doubt if the room caught a scent of his blood a feeding frenzy would ensue. However, there was something tugging on Kane's mind as he felt the price would be beyond what the vampire had expected. His left arm extended. "Take what you want"
Much to the surprise of the dark creature, Kane waited for it to bite. He felt the fangs pierce his arm and the blood pulled from the wound. It only took a small sip before pulling itself away. The room watched as the vampire held his own throat, gagging on the blood. No one could see his throat turned red, then blistered until his skin blackened and he burst into fire and ashes. Suddenly the whole room backed away in fear of him. Making Kane smile with delight.
He turned to the table once more before placing the little creature in his hand onto it. "I want the rest of them, right now"
They reached under the table and pulled out a small cage, there wasn't just little creatures like the one Kane rescued, but others he had never seen before. Kane took the cage and walked out unopposed.
When he reached the outside world, he found his sights were anything but pleasant. It was a black market that held living creatures for sale and bartering. Many of them were small and called out for help to escape.
He had gotten this far, Kane was about to go a little farther. His hand ablaze, Kane walked towards the stalls, ready to unleash hell….
