Hi guys Black-Phinoex here. Sorry for the waite I've had a bad case of writers block but finally got this chapter out. it took me 9 pages to write it all down. anyway on to the chapter. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 10:

Sky sat in a chair beside Eric's bed. It had been a week since he got sick and he showed no signs of getting better anytime soon. Carmen had come in a few times to see how Eric was doing and to do what he could do to help him. Eric was lying on his back with his eyes closed tight and his body shaking. He had a very high fever and he looked like he was in pain. He was moaning and whimpering when he was conscious. Sometimes he would moan and whimper in his sleep too. Sky knew there was nothing she could do to help so she dampened a cloth with cold water and placing it on his head walked out of the room to join the others in the living room. Rion was sitting on the right end of the couch with Chance beside him. Carmen took the chair closest to the window and Sky's mother Tawnie was in the chair closest to the TV.

"In regards to the recent murders in Meadow Creek by an unknown attacker police and state officials have stated that school will be cancelled until further notice. There is also a nine o'clock curfew now in place until the killer is caught. If you have any information regarding these murders or the attacker please contact police immediately. Summer Lay channel three news."

"Well at least their taking action against him," Carmen said.

"They won't catch him," Rion stated as Sky sat down on the couch next to him as Chance moved to make room for her. "Travis is too cunning to let the police catch him."

"He's playing a game with us," Jessy said as he walked through the front door with Shane behind him.

"He wants to see how we'll fight back of if we'll even react," Shane informed the coven.

"Well we've reacted," Rion said pulling Sky closer to him.

"So what do we do now?" Chance asked. "Eric's sick so we're down a coven member."

"We'll find some way of stopping Travis," Rion said as a knock came at the door. Jessy opened the door to find no one there. He looked around but the door step and the area around it was deserted. He turned to go back inside when he saw the piece of paper taped to the door. It was a piece of loose notebook paper and on it was a small paragraph. Jessy moved back into the house and threw the note on the living room table for everyone else to see. On it were the words.

Are we having fun yet?

I hope so!

I'm out hunting again in the alley across the street from the park. I'm watching a pretty blond come and go every few days. Come and get me before I grow board of waiting and claim my prize.

Travis!

"Just like before when it was just me and Shane," Jessy said looking at the note.

"He's let us know what he is doing and where but not when," Rion said.

"If we go right now we could catch him and stop him from getting further in his game," Sky said looking at the others gathered in the living room.

"If we go tonight though and he isn't there we'd have just wasted our time for nothing," Jessy stated.

"If we don't go tonight and he does strike tonight then we'd only feel guilty for the life we could have saved," Rion said looking at Jessy.

"We can't afford to be wasting time on playing Travis's game," said Jessy in his cool calm voice.

"We can't afford to let him keep killing people like this," Rion told him.

"If we go we'll be giving him what he wants," Jessy wined.

"If we don't go and he kills again you'll be the one to blame," Rion told him point blank.

"And what if he's not there? Than what?" Jessy asked.

"We could always come back and wait for the next night," Rion said more calmly as the group got up and left the house.

Travis had been kneeling in the alleyway for about a week now watching the blond girl. He had given the hunters and that vampire coven the letter a few minutes ago and he hoped they would come. He wanted them to come and play his game he wanted to see what they could do. Travis watched a lone grey wolf walk towards his hiding place in the alley than towards the girl he'd been stalking. She looked up in fear as the wolf stopped a few feet from her, turned to look at his hiding place, turn back to the girl then look back towards his hiding place and growl. The girl looked towards the alley wondering why the wolf was growling. She took a few cautious steps towards the alley but the wolf caught her jacket and pulled her away before continuing his growling. The girl becoming frightened took off running towards her house. And the wolf started to change form until only a human stood where the wolf had once been. Travis knew better this was not a human being but a vampire who could Shape shift.

"Carmen right?" Travis asked moving from his hiding place into the open and towards the younger vampire.

"Yes," Carmen replied looking him straight in the eyes as a pack of wolves moved into the park led by Chance.

"I think we're lucky we got here in time to save that girl," Chance said coming to a stop just behind Carmen.

"Chance if I recall right," Travis said remembering the coven vampires names.

"And don't forget me," Rion said. Travis turned to see Rion leaning against the alley.

"A shape shifter, a vampire with animal control and a vampire with what ability now?" Travis asked Rion who was all to kind to show the rouge his power. Travis felt a wave of relief wash over him and knew Rion had Empathy.

"You've been causing problems for us for a while now," Jessy said as he walked up and stood beside Rion with Shane behind him.

"Where is the other vampire Rion?" Travis asked looking around for Eric. "What was his name again? Oh yeah Eric."

"He's sick right now," Rion said taking notice Travis's smug look of confidence.

"He doesn't seem scared being cornered like this," Chance noticed.

"What's the confident look for?" Rion asked.

"This," Travis said

Green vines suddenly came out of the ground and entangled Rion, Jessy and Shane. Chance and Carmen moved in but were also caught in the vines. Before anyone could stop him Travis had begun his attack on them. He first targeted Chance pinning him to the ground with the vines and kicking him senseless until every fibre of Chances being hurt. Next he took care of Carmen pushing him up against a tree and punching him a few times until he lost consciousness. Shane was next bringing out his small knife from the back pocket of his jeans he tried to break free of the vines but Travis took care of him. Tackling him and then aiming hard and accurate punches and kicks to his body until there was nothing but pain causing Shane to drop the knife. Jessy was pushed up hard against the alley wall he had previously been leaning against. With the air knocked out of him and his back hurting there was nothing for Jessy to do put collapse to the ground. The last one left was Rion and Travis would have fun with this one. He pinned Rion to the alley wall and using Shane's own Knife he slashed at the coven leader's body. Rion's arms, legs, abdomen and sides all felt like they were on fire as Travis continued to attack him with the knife. Travis was just about to cut Rion's throat when he was tackled. He looked up to see Chance had been the one who had tackled him. Growling he moved to pick up the knife which he had dropped but Jessy beat him to it. Travis was about to lunge at Chance but the wolves that Chance had been controlling attacked him forcing him to flee. With Rion injured badly and Carmen unconsciousness the small group was forced to retreat as well. Shane moved to Carmen's side lifting him up with ease while Jessy and Chance Helped Rion to his feet and back to Sky's house.

Well that's it for chapter 10. That was mean of Travis to do. Their going to be feeling that for a while especially Rion who took the most damage. What will happen next timeyou'll have to tune into chapter 11 to find out. Let me know what you think in a small review please.
