BLOOD CARTEL
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Tobias welcomed the rain from the dark sky, he could feel Nikolay's blood running through his veins willing him on, wanting him to rise the House of Aleksandrov again, as he stood there on the north side of Jonas's country estate, Nikolay's body lay cold and lifeless waiting for Dean's miraculous blood to flow through his veins and bring him back to life. He sniffed the air, he could smell human scent coming from inside the mansion, before he signalled for his army of vampires to move in he remained them "the slaves of the House of Aleksandrov are to be unharmed" Jonas will regret the day he stood in his way "the others, kill them"
"Yes master" they confirmed before jumping the wall into the grounds of the estate with ease. Tobias waited a few minutes, letting his army of vampires take care of the guards before he jumped the wall and walked towards the mansion with a confident step.

After the first shot it wasn't long before there were others, cry of pain and shouts of warnings filled the grounds around the mansion. Marcy looked across at Jordan for support "Jordan, what shall we do?"
Jordan moved towards the window and looked out; he could see Tobias confidently strolling toward the mansion while all around the Jonas's guards were being slaughtered by Tobias's vampires "We do nothing, Tobias won't harm us if we obey him" obedience, loyalty and respectfulness was what they had lived by and they would continue to do so.
Reaching the mansion door Tobias was joined by one of his vampire, the vampire wiped the guard's blood from his fangs with his tongue then without waiting for Tobias's order he kicked down the front door. Stepping passed the vampire Tobias smelt the air, he could smell two humans in a room off to his right and a third upstairs, there were more on a lower level. Heading first into the room on his right he saw two of Nikolay's slaves "Jordan, Marcy, long time no see"
Seeing Tobias Jordan protectively stood in front of Marcy and lowered his head "Master Tobias it's good to see you again"
"That's good" Tobias moved over to the window and looked out at the carnage his vampires had made before he turned back to look at the two nervous looking slave "As Nikolay's sire do you except me as the new master of the House of Aleksandrov?" he showed the back of his hand as he held it out
Jordan eagerly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee before taking Tobias's hand in his own "Yes master" he kissed Tobias's hand his head staying bowed
"Then stand by my side" Tobias ordered, Jordan stood and moved to Tobias's side as instructed and then looked towards Marcy, pleading with his eyes for her to follow suit
Marcy looked away from Jordan towards Tobias as he spoke her name "Marcy" .She was hesitant, she look across at Jordan once again, he was nodding his head ever so slightly, this was not what she wanted but she dare not reject him in case she angered him, she didn't want to be punished or her privileges she had worked hard for taken from her so she stepped obediently forward and kissed Tobias's right cheek "I do master"
"Where are Dean and Celeste?" Tobias asked her. As soon as he had Dean he would take him to the old witch so she could perform the ceremony to bring Nikolay back to life, to return the rightful master to the House of Aleksandrov
"Celeste is upstairs resting and Dean, I think he's outside somewhere with Frederickson, the butler but I don't know exactly where master"
Celeste rushed from the bedroom, the sound of gun fire still ringing in her ears, but the sound of the front door crashing in made her stop suddenly in her tracks at the top of the stairs, she back up out of sight as her thoughts turned to Dean. She didn't know this new Tobias, what his reaction would be and what his intentions were to them, would he be a fair or a harsh master, there was no way of telling. She heard movement from below then Tobias's familiar British ascent "Celeste I know your there, I can hear your every breath, please come down and join us"
Celeste took a deep breath before she started to walk down the stairs as she followed the staircase down she saw Tobias standing in the hallway, with Jordan and Marcy at his side, the way they avoided eyes contact with her told her that they had chosen Tobias
"There you are, it's nice to see you again and we'll have time to catch up later but for now I need to ask you the same question that I have asked the others, as the new master of the House of Aleksandrov no you except me as your new master?" she was more valuable to him the Jordan and Marcy.
Taking the final step Celeste walked towards the former slave, she was no longer the devoted slave that she once was, her feeling were slowly changing towards freedom, for a normal life and ironically the one man she had wanted to share her freedom with had become the devoted slave that Nikolay had wanted, she could only hope that Dean would change his mind and go with Tobias willingly, with a sadden heart she kissed Tobias on his cheek "Yes master"
Pleased with himself Tobias turned towards the vampire who had been silently guarding the doorway "Take them" he ordered
Celeste panicked "No, please wait" she stood her ground determined to make Tobias understand, her words came out in a rush "Please Master Tobias, be lenient with Dean, this is hard for him, he's just following orders, he wants to be a good slave, to prove himself to Jonas and Vladimir, that why he's not going to go with you without a fight"
Tobias stood silently as the thought of Dean being the loyal obedient slave rushed through his mind, although Dean's loyalties were misplaced he like this new Dean "Don't worry I know how to deal with Dean"
She didn't like the sound of I know how to deal with Dean or the thought of having to go without talking to him "Please Master Tobias; let me talk to him again" she cried out as Tobias's vampire grabbed her arm
"Time for talking is over, take them away" Tobias watched the vampire manhandle her towards the door with Jordan and Marcy following.

After Dean had left the crypt he had made his way back through the overgrown bramble bushes and found himself coming face to face with a vampire, but having totally surprised the vampire by coming out of the thorny bramble bushes he didn't waste much time taking the vampire down and lopping off his head, after everything he had endured it felt good to be in control once again, he was taking back his life and his future freedom.
Dean took in the site before him as ran towards the mansion, Tobias had brought an army of mercenary vampires with him, Jonas's guards were fighting well but they weren't hunters, they were not trained like him and unfortunately they were outnumbered. As he neared the mansion a giant broad shouldered vampire turned the corner of the building and stood in his path, Dean wasn't put off he had fought bigger things in his time and won, he swung his machete, missing the vampire's neck but instead the machete embedded itself into the vampire's shoulder, with a cry of pain the now angry vampire retaliated by throwing Dean against one of the stone statues that decorated the grounds, landing hard against the statue Dean groaned out as a shockwave of pain ran down his back, biting back the pain he pushed himself off and scrambled to his knees as he saw the vampire removing the machete from his shoulder and throwing it aside, he growled "You'll pay for that slave"
"I'm not your slave" Dean shouted back as he saw the vampire advancing, Dean quickly shot a look at where the machete had fallen in the muddy soil, he had one chance to reach it before the vampire beat the hell out of him. Keeping low Dean swiped the vampire's right leg from underneath him and then flinging himself across the ground towards the abandoned machete as the vampire hit the ground but it didn't stop the vampire from grabbing hold of his left leg and pulling him back across the muddy water logged ground towards him. Dean reached out, his fingertips barely touching the machete as he was dragged backwards; twisting in the mud he kicked the vampire in his crown jewels with his free leg, hoping it was still a tender stop for a vampire. It didn't have the desired effect that he was hoping for and the vampire lashed out with his foot catching his left eye.
"I'll teach you some respect" the vampire stated as jumped to his feet
"You think your vampire enough then go ahead" Dean could feel his eye swelling as he reached for his gun buried in the small of his back, he fired off three shots hoping to slow down the vampire as he once again hurled himself for the machete but as he reached it he heard Celeste's screaming out his name, he looked up to seeing Celeste and the others been led away, "no" he screamed in rage as he turned in the mud to see a giant sized vampire foot crashing down on him, his last thought as he blacked out was that he had failed
The vampire was about started to pick up the unconscious slave but stopped as a the strongest vampire scent he had ever smelt filled his nostrils, he looked around but saw nothing

Back in the crypt Lord Ivan regained his some of his strength "Why have I been awoken?" he asked Frederickson
"The House of Borisenko needs you my lord; the estate of Jonas Pinard is under attack" Frederickson informed him
Ivan rose up in his tomb "By whom?"
"Vampires my lord, I wish I had time to explain but I fear that young Mr Aleksandrov's and the other slaves of the House of Aleksandrov are going to be stolen as I speak"
"Pass me my swords" there was no time to spare, Lord Ivan climbed out his tomb, he wasn't at his strongest but he would fight
"Thank you, my lord" Frederickson rushed over to the corner of the room and opened the long box sitting on the floor of the chamber; quickly he unravelled the well oiled cloth from around the two samurai swords.
Having drunk the rest of the canister of blood Ivan summoned his strength; this would be good practice for him, a warm up session. "It has been a long time since I killed a vampire" he reminded himself as he took the swords from the old man, the vampire wars of 1887.
Outside the rain hit him, looking up he saw it was still daylight but the sky was full of dark rain clouds, he closed his eyes feeling the rain on his face, it had been years since he had such an experience, before sniffing the air around him. There were many vampire scents around but only one near the slave that had awakened him, with a sword in each hand he advanced through the bramble bushes towards the slave's scent.
