Here's Ch. 26

Chapter 26: The Ending with Bars. The Beginning of Survival

" *Whistles*... Sigh. Man, how long is that hag gonna be!? ''

Wulfric was leaning against the wall right next to a metal door as he was waiting a BIT impatiently for the witch to come out. So far, Wulfric saw dark purple lights flash out from underneath the door, sounds of breaking objects and animal-like screeching too. Wulfric sighed to himself as he folds his arms behind his head, looks up at the ceiling and said in a dull-bored voice to himself.

'' I wonder how queenly-bat is getting on with girly-bat? Heh... I can't wait to see the looks on their faces once they see their demon friend ''

Wulfric snickers meanly to himself then stops as he wore a sort of a concerned face.

'' But, I sure do hope that girl lives... And I still don't know her name! I mean. I've never and I mean NEVER, seen a girl as hot-looking and tough as her before! *Sighs Dreamily*... I can see it right now.

With a big goofy grin on his face, Wulfric begins to snap his fingers along with a tap of his left foot.

'' Oh! Oh, oh, buh-buh-baba...

Hey girl! Let me tell ya something.

In all my days of rommin' through the

night, never have I seen a dark-beauty queen

like you!

Girl! Let me tell ya something, 'cause this is real

important for you hear! ''

Wulfric was lost in his own little world as he was now shuffling to the beat in his head.

'' BABY! You and I are like two souls,

wonderin' round in a dark spiral to find

a little place called paradise. Well guess what baby, I have found

my paradise and how I found it was by looking

into your e- ''

" AAAH! ''

Wulfric screamed in shock as he now saw WitchyLina standing right beside him, arms folded over her chest and giving him a scowl of suspicion as she asked him with weariness and annoyance in her voice.

'' What in blazes are you doing, mutt? ''

Wulfric was at a loss for words as he rubbed the back of his neck, an embarrassed blush from beneath his fur and with a nervous grin he stuttered to her.

'' U-Uh... I-I was just uh... Singing about how awesome I am? ''

WitchyLina was NOWHERE NEAR impressed with his answer as her eyes lowered in both disapprovement and disbelief, as she said with a low-sarcastic voice to him.

'' Oh I see! And I say that this baby of yours thinks you're awesome too then? ''

Wulfric groaned in knowing he was caught red-handed. WitchyLina looked away from him as she folds her arms behind her, and said to the werewolf.

'' And another thing. Everything is now complete. ''

Wulfric looks at her with wide eyes.

'' Really? About time too... ''

A faint cruel smile wore itself onto the witch's lips as she to the wolf.

'' Enough chitter-chatter! It's time to proceed with the plan. ''

(Meanwhile...)

Thanatos was having the time of his life right now. All of the vampires were BEYOND speechless and Marco was completely SHATTERED from his dark, dirty secret having been exposed to them! Until now, when Lucas spoke to Marco as it unfortunately came out as stutters.

'' M-Marco... You... W-When did... This... Are you... ? ''

Marco said nothing to him. He wouldn't even LOOK at him nor the others as he only hung his head so low, that his face was hidden from everyone's sight.

Thanatos snickers to himself while looking down at Marco and said with a sneer to him.

'' So Marco, got anything to say to your friends and family? ''

Marco was silent and his face wasn't visible 'cause he hung his head so low from shame, sorrow and guilt. Thanatos blinks at him while waiting for a reply and when there was none.

'' No? Nothing? Well then... ''

Thanatos raised his hand, snaps his fingers and out magically came a metal chain in his hand which was connected to a collar which was now around Marco's neck. Thanatos smiles a wide joker-like smile as he tugs on Marco.

'' Guess we should be goin' then! ''

" W-Wait a minute! ''

Thanatos looks towards Dawn as she frantically asks him.

'' Where are you taking Marco!? ''

Next Midnight then Dusk.

'' Why are you doing this to him? ''

'' Don't you dare take him away Thanatos! ''

Unfortunately, their response from the vampire was a small scoff and a smirk while he said to them.

'' Why the fake words? This isn't how you really feel on the inside, right? ''

Everyone looks at Thanatos with frustration in their eyes. Sure it was true that they're all shocked to have learned of Marco's secret, but that DID NOT mean that they see their own family member as a waste of flesh!

Not wanting to stay, Thanatos gives them all a dark, menacing grin while raising his hand and said to them.

'' Been nice seeing you everyone... Farewell. ''

With a snap of his fingers, the whole place was BURSTING with such bright-light that the vampires had to shield their eyes to prevent them getting blind. Once cleared... They un-shield their eyes and were shocked to see they're no longer in the black place, but in a grassy-field with a grey-cloudy sky above them. Which means that they're now back in their world.

'' Greetings vampires. ''

Everyone turned their eyes to WitchyLina who let out a small cackle as she said to the vampires.

'' Heheh. I brought you all here to let tell you that I you're all no longer of use to me... But most of all, YOU little bat! ''

WitchyLina pointed to Fatch whilst she said the last bit of the sentence to them, which made the others slightly confused from not knowing why EXCATLY he was the main thing she wanted, while Fatch still couldn't understand what was so special about his blood!

Fatch scowls angrily at the witch while she takes a bow to them and said.

'' Pleasure acquainting with you all, fare- ''

'' Wait a sec'! What about Aquilo? Where is he? What did you do to him!? ''

WitchyLina was slightly taken back by his angry demands, at first, before a wicked smile spreads across widely on her face as she said with a hint of false realisation.

'' Oh him! No need to worry... Aquilo will be here at any moment. Goodbye! ''

" Wha- Hey wait you! ''

But too late. WitchyLina gets covered in a puff of smoke and vanishes from their sight. This made Fatch feel pretty mad while the others were in shock, worry AND uneasiness.

Fatch kicks his foot on the ground in frustration while he goes on in fury in his mind.

'' That witch... How DARE her! If I ever see her again I'll make her sorry that she me- ''

But only to be brought out of his thoughts of anger as he heard Katie cry out.

'' Hey, look at the sky! ''

Fatch and everyone looks up at the grey-filled sky and was shocked to see a dark-purplish-blue thing falling from the sky and crash in a slight distance away from them.

'' Whoa... What was that? ''

Thatch looked over to the other vampires in wonder as Fatch simply said to them.

'' Not gonna know from standing are we? ''

And with that Fatch took off straight for the spot with his family and the Manora's hurrying after him. Once he got there, Fatch couldn't BELEIVE his eyes. There laying inside the crater... Was a big, frozen-icy cuboid which looked PRETTY familiar to Fatch and the two Manora kids. Before the others could say anything.

'' Aquilo! ''

Fatch quickly goes down into the crater, puts both hands on it and examines it while Lucas began said curiously to him.

'' Fatch... Is this... The same state when...? ''

'' Yes, this is exactly what he was like when I first found him. Mmp...! ''

Fatch lifts up the cuboid, carefully carries it out of the crater, sets it on the grassy-ground and brings his face close to the ice as he tries to see the ice demon inside it.

'' Huh?... That's funny. ''

'' What's wrong Fatch? ''

Dawn looks at her son with concern as so do the others, while Fatch raised his brow in confusion and disbelief before slowly telling them.

'' I can't see him... I can't see Aquilo! Nothing but this da-Huh!? ''

Out of nowhere, a crack appears on the ice which made Fatch and everyone shocked, then even more as the crack grew and the whole cuboid began to GLOW in GHASTLY, dark purple light!

Then it made small-growing movements as it looked like, as if... Was about to EXPLODE!

'' It's gonna blow, take cover! ''

Dusk quickly grabs onto Fatch's arm, everyone begins to away from the cuboid, and then... BOOOOM!

Everyone got onto the ground as they covered their heads while the explosion took place. When everything was silent, the vampires slowly get to their feet, but coughed a bit from the now dusty-covered field. With a cough Dusk asked everyone.

'' *Cough* Is everyone ok!? ''

Midnight nods her head with her response to him.

'' We're all ok Dusk. But, what just...? ''

Something caught Midnight's eye as she stared off into the left, which the others then follow and were shocked... To see a figure from the distance in the dust. With a minute to adjust his vision. A smile began to grow onto the vampire childs face as he joyfully exclaimed to the others.

'' It's Aquilo... He's ok! Aquilo! ''

'' W-Wait a minute Fatch! ''

But Fatch didn't pay attention to his older brothers call as he only ran straight for the shadowy figure of his demon friend with a big grin on his face... Until...!

CRASH!

Fatch stopped his running and was now on the ground, staring wide-eyed in shock at a... Black, sharp, scythe-like BLADE which was stuck onto the ground and BARELY missed him!

Fatch follows the blade as it now retracts back and looks up to see... A strange looking LIFE-FORM with dark purple clothing with black rims that was quite torn up, black boots and dark purple, crystalised arms that went down to the hands which made them look tough and unbreakable! Its tail was black with dark purple markings and at the tip was the scythe-like blade, and for the face... Its whole head was COMPLETELY covered in a metal-like helmet and had no holes for the eyes and mouth and on the centre of it... Was a dark purple symbol which was like a flame with what looks like to have thorns in the background.

Fatch was frozen and still as he stared up at the being with NO. IDEA of what it was! When the being's left hand formed into a sharp-crystal weapon and the tip began to glow with energy...!

'' LOOK OUT FATCH! ''

Fatch was brought back to reality while Dusk came over, takes him into his arms and runs away and made the being miss his target. Once the pair came back to the group, they all had their eyes on the being and one thing for sure is... It is certainly NOT AT ALL friendly!

And when the being suddenly sprouted ashen-black and purple boned-wings, they knew it was time for SURVIVAL!

'' Everyone! Run! ''

Once Joshua shouted that out, he and everyone else began to run away from the being as they tried to get away from it as possible, while the being flew up and flies straight after the vampires.

(Meanwhile...)

'' Hehehe. Looks like it does work after all. ''

WitchyLina was inside her cave in the other world and was currently watching the whole thing on Earth through her cauldron. So far, WitchyLina was pleased with seeing her "plan" running smoothly so far and was tapping her fingers together evilly as she said to herself with a grin.

'' Perhaps when this is all over I could think of some new plans! Huh...? ''

WitchyLina soon noticed Wulfric at her cauldron as he was looking into it, wore a slight worried and nervous face as he murmured to himself quietly.

'' Man, I hope that girl lives... ''

This all made the witch slap her hand onto her face, groan silently and said with mild annoyance to herself.

'' Oh good grief. ''

That's all for now guys, and I REALLY apologise for such the long wait! I wanted this chapter decent in which I could bounce from to help me write better in the next one. ^_^'

So far it's not looking good huh... I hope everyone will be ok in the end. :(

Stay tuned and thanks for R:R People. ^u^
