Chapter 24 – Battle (1)

"Are you happy?"

Dawn sat there digesting what Silver has just asked while Ash and Silver were waiting for her patiently. Dawn opened her mouth and suddenly gave a small laugh.

"Haha… what kind of question is that Silver? Of course I'm happy" Dawn replied in a cheerful way but Ash and Silver knows that she isn't.

"Dawn" Silver placed his hand on her shoulder and said "Don't lie, tell the truth"

Dawn's smile dropped and she looked down and she started to speak once more. "Of course I'm not Silver, Ash. Conway wants things to go his way… he… he… he demands a lot of things from me… expects a lot of things from me… I… I don't know what to do or say…" Dawn said as she quietly cried. Ash and Silver looked at each other and Ash got up and hugged Dawn.

"Hey Dawn, break up with him, he's not the one you're looking for. There are tons of other guys that are just perfect for you." Ash said as Dawn cried on Ash's shoulder.

Silver watches Ash consoling Dawn and felt sorry for Dawn. The door opened and Silver turned around to see an unknown vampire that he has never seen before. He stood in front of Dawn and Ash and held out his arm in a defensive way.

"Who are you? We are not open for business today" Silver stated in a dangerous tone.

"Ah! My apologies young man, I just smell something delicious here" The vampire replied as he looked at Silver, Dawn and Ash with his blood red eyes. Silver backed up with Ash and a trembling Dawn in Ash's arm also backing up.

"LEAVE!" Silver demanded but the vampire just chuckled.

"I'm sorry young man, but I will need to take all of you to our master, Anthem"

"Anthem… So Anthem IS the one who has been leading the likes of you!" Silver stated.

"That's right, Lord Norman… No, its Lord May now… She is stupid to continue to fulfil her father's dream of living with humans in harmony. After all they have killed a lot of us"

"BUT YOU HAVE KILLED A LOT OF US TOO!" Silver shouted.

"Ah~ But we are just simply feasting on you, we need to live as well"

"By forcing yourself onto us!?" Silver glared at the vampire.

"Of course, now enough chit chats I will need to capture you NOW!" The vampire charged towards Silver and Silver quickly grabbed hold of him.

"RUN!" He shouted to Ash and Dawn.

"But -"

"I'll be fine, Hurry!" Silver cut Ash's line, Ash looked hesitant at first but looked at his trembling friend and nodded. He grabbed hold of Dawn's wrist and quickly went to the back door to leave the café.

"They're not going anywhere" The vampire stated as he pushed Silver down.

"I'll finish you then go after them" The vampire continued as he licked his lips looking down at Silver.

'Damn… Is this it for me?' Silver thought. Silver glared at the vampire and used all his strength to push the vampire off of him. 'No! I haven't repaid my debts to May yet. I cannot just die like this' Silver thought as he ran out of his café and caught up to Ash and Dawn who are tired from running. He quickly grabbed hold of Ash's wrist and picked Dawn up like a sack of potatoes and ran.

"Silver, that vampire is catching up to us" Dawn said terrified.

"Shit…" Silver swore, his legs are yelling to him to stop but his mind told him not to stop.

The vampire jumped and was close to land on top of Silver and Dawn, Dawn immediately screamed "HELP! PAUL!"

Time seems to go slow and as the vampire was closer and closer to his target, and Dawn's eyes went wide. Blood was spread, and the vampire fell onto the ground. Silver stopped and so did Ash, they both turned around to see the vampire on the ground with a dark looking spear in the vampire's heart. They all looked up to see Paul standing there panting with his face with a bit of blood and his hand mostly blood and his clothes all red.

"Are you guys alright?" Paul asked

Silver panted but still nodded. Paul looked at Dawn and saw her tears, he walked up to her and said "Don't cry troublesome, you're going to be safe" he wants to wipe off her tears but with his hand full of blood he wouldn't dare to touch her.

"Take them to our mansion. That is the safest place for the people we know" Paul told Silver.

"What about the other innocent humans?" Silver asked.

"Do not worry, May has ordered everyone to put on a safeguard around all the humans' houses and we have forced them to sleep. We're sorry that we didn't protect you guys earlier" Paul said.

"It's fine Paul, you guys weren't even expected that the vampires will actually come into the city and besides I was the one who told you not to worry about me" Silver assured Paul.

Paul smirked and said "Yeah, now hurry, Lucas is in the mansion along with Drew protecting their parents as well as these twos" Paul quickly shoved Silver away. Silver nodded and without any hesitation he continued to run.

"What do you want Pathetic, you need to get there too!" Paul shouted at Ash. Ash looked at him and grinned, "be safe Paul and watch out for Misty for me would ya?"

"Hn. There's nothing to worry about Misty, she's a tough girl" Paul replied

"ASH!" Silver called back.

"Coming!" Ash yelled. He then turned around and said "Don't die on us alright Paul"

"Who do you think I am? Now hurry!" Paul said and shoved Ash harder and Ash ran away with Silver and Dawn to his mansion.

Silver and Ash finally reached the mansion and the door opened and they went inside. There they saw Johanna, Dawn's mother and Delia Ash's mother as well as Drew's parents.

Silver placed Dawn down and Johanna immediately hugged Dawn. "I'm so glad that you're safe Dawn" Johanna said as she hugged her daughter tightly.

"ASH!"

"Hey mom"

"I'm so glad that you're safe" Delia exclaimed as she hugged Ash.

Silver sat down since he was worn out. Something cold then touched his face and he turned around and saw it was a can of a sports drink.

"You did well Silver" the person told him, Silver looked up and saw it was Drew.

Silver smirked and said "It was nothing and it was worth it" he took the drink from Drew gratefully and drank half of it immediately. Drew threw one to Ash who caught it successfully and drank it as well.

Drew walked away and made his way to his parents, Silver lied on the cool floor and Ash sat down on a chair with his mother as well as Dawn and Johanna.

"DREW!" a voice called out.

"YEAH!?" Drew called back. Footsteps were heard and there revealed Lucas and Dawn couldn't believe in her eyes.

"Most of the vampires have been wiped out but Paul and Misty are badly hurt, Reggie's asking if you could sub in with one of them," Lucas told Drew. Drew got up and nodded, he faced his parents and told him that he'll be safe and he will be back.

"Lucas get ready, the door might have some vampires behind it," Drew said as he stood in front of the door with Lucas behind him.

"Yeah"

'I'm almost there' Misty's voice was heard in both Drew's mind and Lucas's.

'NOW!' Misty shouted, Drew pushed open the door and Lucas swung his arms causing a strong blizzard towards the door and a force for Drew to run out and Misty charged inside. The door closed and there stood a panting Misty with lots of cuts and still bleeding.

"Go rest Misty, the blood packets are ready." Lucas told Misty. Misty nodded and head straight to the kitchen, Dawn sat there looking at Lucas with her eyes wide.

"Lucas?" Dawn asked slowly. Lucas turned around and gave a small grin, "Long time no see Dawn."

"May! Anthem is right ahead! You should go we'll take care of this" Reggie said. May nodded and began to run forward, she ran but two more vampires appeared to attack May. May stopped and was about to use her power to kill them when two figures jumped in front of her and killed the two vampires through their heart. May looked and saw Paul on her left with a dark knife created by his power and she then turned to the right and saw her fiancé, Drew with his right hand has turned into a wolf paw and with blood.

"Drew… Paul…" May called out.

"Keep moving May, we'll protect you and make sure that they don't get in your way." Drew said, May said nothing but nodded and continued to run.

More vampires appeared and Drew and Paul kept killing them. Soon they went back to back as they were surrounded by many vampires.

"Alrighty moss wolf, mind giving me a ride?" Paul mocked

"Haha, you're so hilarious Paul. I'd rather die than giving you a ride" Drew stated.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Paul yelled as he turned around and grabbed onto Drew's collar.

"YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID!" Drew yelled back. Drew and Paul glared at each other, the vampires that are surrounding them all sweat dropped; not knowing what they should do since the two supposed to be allies are glaring at each other and yelling at each other. One vampire yelled to his allies and said "FORGET IT! JUST KILL THEM BOTH!" The vampires nodded and closing into Paul and Drew.

Paul and Drew stopped bickering and looked around them and whispered.

"I don't think this is the time to fight" Drew said

"Yeah, we'll continue later" Paul replied, Paul then looked at his right and said

"I'm counting on you"

"Same here" Drew replied and soon both of them jumped into the air and Drew did an air flipped and turned into a green wolf and attacked some of the vampires. While Paul turned upside down and threw the knives that he created straight into the vampires' hearts.

"It'll be great if you could help here on the ground as well" Drew said as he attacked the next vampire.

"Don't forget you have more than one power, this animal transforming power is the basics of the basics." Paul stated

"Hah! I think you're afraid of your animal side of you. We may not be werewolves but its surprising that we can transform" Drew stated.

"Have you forgotten what we taught you?" Paul asked as they continued to fight.

"Please of course, one of your ancestor got married to a werewolf and soon her child got the power of werewolf, transforming." Drew started.

"Soon, every vampires are learning this power and we found out that we can transform into other animals" Paul finished as he did a back flip and transformed into a purple black panther and killed many more vampires.

Suariel: Ta-da~ This story, will soon come to an end :D

Sorry allow me to explain my not so vampire vampires in my story.

As mentioned in the story, they possess more than one power which usually are two. The first one is animal transformation and the second one are any other elemental powers like darkness, water, ice, etc. but the vampires that are in the higher standings like Paul, Misty and May they possess more than two :D

As for Drew and Lucas, they were transformed INTO vampires and they can ONLY possess two powers. If it is still not clear then please comment or PM me and I will make it as clear as possible.

Oh! Yeah! Btw, when Paul mentioned Lucas to Silver, Ash and Dawn. Dawn didn't hear since she couldn't believe that she actually called Paul for help instead of Conway. BWHAHAHA! TAKE THAT CONWAY! LOSER! *Laughs evilly at the background*

Paul: She's going nutz…

Drew: *Shrugs and sighs* Don't forget she's our author and the controller of the story, so, of course, she will go nutz at some point and she will turn the story, however, she wishes to.

May, Misty and Reggie: And please do remember to leave a review~~~
