{Chapter 9}
We were interrupted when we heard a knock at the door. Dad walked out of the kitchen and answered it. "Where's Nas?" I turned around and walked into the other room. "Nas, before you start yelling, hear us out, please." Reid said, holding his hands up. "Reid, I already heard you out. You want to help me and won't give up on it. I thought I told you not to come near here until this was over. It's too dangerous, no matter how well you can protect yourselves with your Power. Even though I was thrown into this only a week and half ago, I've already been trained to see what other vampire are like.
"You guys never saw hard I had to work while I was training. My parents training me is one thing, fighting these vampires who have years of experience more than I do and that actually want to kill me along with Viktor who is centuries older than my mom is a hell of another thing. I'd have to try and keep myself alive, which I know would be a struggle, and I don't want to have to worry about whether any of you get hurt or killed." I yelled at the four.
"Nas, you know we're going to help you whether you like it or not. The reason we weren't here sooner, is because we were busy helping get information on what big bad Viktor is planning." Reid said, smirking. "Reid, I know you were trying to help, but that is the shit that could get you killed. You could have been seen around the mansion and then we would have to protect your asses along with our own too." I said, raising my voice again as I got further into the ranting.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked and saw Tanis. "Calm yourself dear, let's see what they have to tell us." He said, gesturing to the guys. I rolled my eyes and looked back to the guys. "What do you know?"
"So Viktor thinks that we won't attack in the daylight because of my mom. He has guards posted around ever entrance night and day no matter what. I think I know how we can do it." I said, looking from the guys to my parents. "How?" Mom asked. "They think we won't attack during the day? Well, we attack a couple times at night for a couple days in a row and have him think he knows what we're doing. Then the third day, attack during daylight and he won't expect us to be coming. With the guards at the doors and windows, if we shoot them down right there and then blow the windows and doors, they're sure as dead in the sun. Then we can pretty much corner the rest until their numbers are so low they can't launch an attack on us." I explained, hoping they all got the idea.
Tanis chuckled. "What?" I asked, slightly confused. "Nothing dear, it's just that you have your mother's mind set. As I said before, had you been a vampire, you would have made the perfect Death Dealer right away." He told me. "She would have. The plan is perfect. The question is, when do we launch the first attack?" My mom said, smiling. "I say tonight. We attacked yesterday, so he might think we'd need to recuperate for a day or two. If we can get everything together, we could easily put the plan in motion tonight." I answered.
"I think she's right Selene." Dad told Mom. "Usually I'm the one making the plans, now it's my daughter. Alright, let's get the weapons ready and we can go." Mom said before she stood up. I stood up and followed her. "Where are they going?" I heard Reid ask as we went to the hall closet. "Guns." Was all I heard Dad answer with. My mom grabbed one bag of weapons and I grabbed the other. We carried them out to the table and set them down in front of everyone.
I pulled one of the holsters out of the one I had carried out and strapped it onto my thigh, then pulled another out and did the same. Then I pulled out two Berettas, made sure the magazines were full and slid them into the holsters. Then I pulled out a belt, strapped it around my waist, and slid a few extra magazines and some throwing stars into it. "Do you both really need all of that?" I heard Caleb ask. I rolled my eyes and looked at him. I loved Caleb like a brother and have known him all our lives, but he was always the responsible, sensible one of all of us.
"Caleb, we don't know what to expect. In this, you have to expect anything." I said, sliding a knife into each boot. "Trust me, from what my parents have told me and how they've trained me, carry extra, just incase. In this war, never go light on weapons, or it could cost you your life." I finished saying. "Ready?" I looked at my mom and nodded my head. I looked at the guys, who all nodded. I knew no matter how much I tried to stop them, they would fight with us whether I wanted them to or not.
"We walk, we don't want to let them know we're coming." Mom said before we took to the woods for cover as we walked to the mansion. When we came to the edge of the woods by the mansion and watched. I pulled both guns from the holsters and pulled back the slide. "I'll go first." I said before running and taking cover closer to the mansion. I peeked around the bush I was hiding behind and watched the guards. One was walking towards the bush I was behind, probably going to come around the other side.
I slid back behind it and waited. I glanced and saw Reid with a fearful look on his face. Once the guard was in full view of me, and he had full view of me. I grabbed him by the neck, covered his mouth and snapped his neck. Piece of cake. I grabbed his sub-machine gun and looked at the cartridges inside. How did they even load this thing, let alone carry it? UV rounds should have fried this guy as soon as he touched it, right?
I looked up and to the dead guard next to me. No, they didn't. I thought. I pulled the knife out of my right boot and slit the guy's throat. I touched the blood on the knife and rubbed it on my lips, tasting the blood. Fuck! I screamed in my head. I wiped the knife clean in the grass and slid it back in my boot.
I looked around the bush, saw about four more guards on the perimeter. I closed my eyes, praying for the best, then ran towards the first one. Right as he saw me, I snapped his neck and stabbed him in the heart with my knife. I ran to the next and did the same. The other two saw me and started shooting. I ran at them shot them both and then emptied a few rounds into their skulls. As soon as I made sure no one heard us, somehow, I walked to meet my parents, Eve, and the guys halfway across the yard.
"What's wrong? You looked worried." My mom mentioned. I ran a hand through my hair. "We're fucked. The first guard I killed, as I'm sure the other ones were, was a lycan. When I saw the UV rounds, I knew they had to have been. We have to get this over with. You guys, don't let them get close enough. I don't care how you do it, just kill them as fast as you can."
