They all hiked in silence Darren and Rosemary felt to embarrassed to hold hands as they walked with five new vampires they had just met going insane from all the awkward silence.

"So Darren Shan why is it that you're being hunted down by a pack of vampaneze." Kudra asked breaking the silence.

"Because he's a young useless dumb weakling that's only just going to die even if there is five of us here odds are we will die"- But before Arra could finish.

"Weak? How can you call him weak when he killed two vampaneze already?"Kudra snapped throwing her a dirty look.

"Oh … Well… I take back what I said I didn't know you killed two vampaneze … but I don't respect you Darren Shan and I never will." Arra lifted her nose in the air and continued to walk.

Darren explained what happened in the tunnels and with Murlough.

"Ah I see young Darren … a bad situation you're in but I have great faith your survive there's something about you that's strong, stronger than any half vampires ive ever seen.

"Stop." Screeched Arra.

Making everyone jump out of their skins.

"What?"Rosemary asked scared.

"Vampaneze … wow Darren they really want your throat on a stick."Arra said bitterly.

"How many." Kudra asked.

"Oh god this is goanna be the death of us."Mika moaned.

"There's ten of them."Arrow whispered.

"There so near they can now hear us if we don't whisper."Vanez figured out.

"Flight or fight Kudra?" Arra asked.

"We fight, we can manage ten one of us might get harmed but we will survive."Kudra ordered.

"Good because im not the one to act as a coward."Arra mumbled.

Arra turned to Darren.

"Boy if this kills us and you survive then tell Larten if I ever see him in hell im taking in twelve feet under." Arra snapped.

"Got it." Darren moaned.

Rosemary felt like she weren't there she had a feeling the vampires didn't like witches.

"Here they come."Arrow informed.

A few seconds later ten vampaneze purple face looking emerged from the trees.

"Hello fellow vampires … step aside … there's a half vampire that I have orders to punish." The vampaneze said in a cold voice.

"Sorry we have orders to protect this half vampire … he hasn't broken a law of your generals." Kudra protested.

"Yes he has he murdered a vampaneze that happened to my brother."The strange vampaneze hissed as the other agreed with him.

"No it was self defence , and Darren wasn't the vampire who murdered Murlough in the first place, you just feel the need to punish him because Murlough was a relative to you im sorry for your loss but if you kill Darren Shan your breaking a law to are generals and most important are treaty."Kudra explained.

"I don't care I want him dead." Murloughs brother roared.

"Tough now you are breaking a rule, we shall not let you past if you so much as try we will have the right to kill you in self defence." Kudra threatened.

"Erm guys this isn't fair on you I think you should leave i don't want any of you getting hurt."Darren added worried for the vampire friends of Lartens.

"No that's not want Larten wants and it's not what we want." Kudra protested.

"What you want."Arra corrected Kudra.

"Alough I do like a good fight." Arra added.

"A fight you will lose I don't care if Im breaking your generals laws or our treaty to you I intend to avenge my brother and I will slaughter everyone one of you if that's what it takes."Murloughs brother shouted veins popping out of his skin with anger.

"So be it." Kudra shrugged his shoulders and grabbed a long sharp stake.

There was a loud roar from the ten vampaneze as they charged.

"Get out of here Darren we will catch you up after."Kudra ordered.

"No im staying to battle with you." Darren protested.

That's when the battle began for another time; Darren could only make out a few things

Vanez had staked a female Vampaneze, Arra broke a male vampanezes neck with her own hands as she had dropped her stake Rosemary lunged forward but Darren grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing?" Darren yelled at her.

"Getting her stake back to her." Rosemary yelled.

"No let me do it your get killed." Darren pulled her away as he walked up to her but at bad timing a vampaneze flew into the side of him knocking Darren down.

Instantly he grabbed his own stake and stake the vampaneze who didn't expect it though the heart.

Darren pushed the vampaneze off him and looked around he was right in the middle of the battle but there was Arra battling one with just her hands as weapons.

"Arra." Yelled Rosemary.

Darren turned to see her eyes black as a stake flew though the air and Arra snatched it.

The vampaneze stared at Rosemary in complete shock this gave Arra the chance that would save her as she stabbed the shocked vampaneze.

Darren turned to see Vanez was thrown to the floor and injured by a vampaneze though his left leg he had been impaled by a stake by a vampaneze who missed badly.

Darren ran behind the Vampaneze who was unaware of Darren's presence Darren grabbed his arms and pinned them to his back as Vanez staked him without a problem.

"Thank you Darren." Vanez smiled gratefully.

Darren looked around to see the battle was finished.

"Well I think that's over."Arrow laughed lightly.

"We will have to let the generals know about this and that it was called for." Kudra annocued.

"Let's go, im sick of these forests."Mika snapped.

"Lets filter." Arra suggested.

"What about these two?"Arrow asked.

"We will just carry them." Arrow said as she walked over to Rosmary.

"Rosemary I respect you as you saved my life back there by handing me my stake that I stupidly dropped." Arra informed her as they shoke hands.

Rosemary climbed onto Arras back and Darren climbed onto Kudras as Vanez spat onto his leg wound and healed it as they began to filter.

OK R+R let me know Thanks guys x
