Chapter 21
Thank you for reading and Enjoy.
Victor felt weaker as the rain continued to fall. Curse the fact that we gain most of our powers from the earth. He thought, why does moving water always weaken us? And it had to rain today of all days.
He continued to work to his destination, his hair plastered to his forehead because of the rain. Discomfort surrounded him as his cloths clung to him in wet desperation. He had to get there soon. All he had was hope, hope that he could stop the war, hope that he make it in time…hope he would make it back to Elizabeth.
He turned into an ally and followed the stretch. Upon exiting, he saw a large crowd of men and women divided down the middle. A physical fight hadn't broke out yet, but they were throwing verbal abuse to each other.
"You have taken your last life, monsters. It ends tonight!" One Hunter called.
A Vampire woman laughed, "You think you can stop us? You are mere mortals, we will win this fight."
They continued their shouting. Victor watching restlessly as every word got closer to lost life. He didn't wait any longer, he ran to the center of the divide and held up his hands to both sides.
"Enough!"
The crowd went silent. Victor was panting vigorously and he held the pose for a while. Tension rose between the Vampires and Hunters during the wait.
"Son of Dracula, remove yourself from this place, if you do not want to be harmed." One Vampire on the side said.
"This war has gone on long enough!" Victor called to both sides, "It's time to end it. Once and for all! Let there be peace between us!"
The Hunter, who seemed to be the leader at the time, stepped forward. "And why should we listen to the spawn of the Lord of Vampires?"
"I've done, all I can to end this century long fight. I married a Van Helsing, hoping it would bring to light that I want this war over."
"That woman was nothing but a traitor to her own kind." A person called from the back of the Hunters.
"You're nothing but a traitor as well, Victor," a Vampire retorted, "You have always been weak for these humans."
"It's time to end this."
The Hunters pulled out their weapons, and the Vampires bared their fangs. Nothing was stopping the impending battle about to happen. War cries filled the air as the two sides advanced on each other. Victor tried to shout for them to stop once again, but no one listened. And like two storm clouds colliding, a great thunder of sound entered the area as Vampires and Hunters engaged in battle.
A Hunter went after Victor, he threw a silver throwing knife, and Victor moved out of the way. The knife hit a Vampire behind him. He had no choice. If he wanted to see Elizabeth again, he would have to fight.
Already, the smell of fresh blood mixed with the rain as Victor fought his way through the crowd. Another Vampire came up to him with aggression. He punched the mindless monster to the ground, and ducked just in time as a wooden arrow flew past him and hit another.
The body count increased as Victor continued. There is no way the rest of the human world will not know about this by the end of today.
He watched one Vampire fall and turn to dust. The pile became damp from the rain quickly, but was scattered with the footprints of the men and women fighting. He had to get out of there. After a few dodges of arrows and blood lusting Vampires, Victor had made it to the edge of the battle. He began to run down a nearby ally, but a sharp sting hit the back of his shoulder.
He let out a grunt in pain and looked back to see a wooden arrow imbedded in his back. Ignoring the pain, he continued the journey back to the Van Helsing household. The return was much slower than the journey to the battle. Victor felt weak from the loss of power because of the rain, and the arrow in his shoulder didn't help.
After what felt like a lifetime of walking, the house came into view. Victor smiled painfully as he took a few more steps, but his vision blurred and he began to stumble.
"Victor!"
The voice, it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember from where he heard it. A woman ran to him, and he felt comfortable with her. He lifted a hand and reached for her but collapsed. He fell into the warmth of her arms as his vision faded. Darkness filled his world as he passed out.
