Chapter 4
Logan sat down at a table close to the door, mulling over what the Principal had said, sure he didn't want trouble, it just seems that trouble comes looking for him.
The door opened and eight pale figures walked through the door, their eyes looked dead and...no way...the skin on their faces were stretched taut. The leader wore a hooded cloak hiding his face. He grabbed the hair of a girl and brought her neck towards his mouth, Logan could see the white glistening of fangs sink in as the girl screamed, and the students began a mass exodus of the cafeteria, stumbling over each other to get out of the door, all but a three others, and the now dead girl.
Logan looked towards the other students who hadn't moved, one was a lanky male with longish brown hair, another male who just screamed "Jock" with the Misty Cove colours and a blonde girl who had been sat with the first guy. Out of the three, she seemed least surprised, in the eyes of the others, confusion. So, four of us and eight...what? Vampires?
...
Jills had heard the scream and her head snapped up, she then saw what were undoubtedly vampires, with that dress sense how can they be anything else? Her grandpa, a Vatican member, had warned that while the Hellmouth in Sunnydale had closed, denizens of darkness still roamed the Earth.
...
Trent had no time to think, he just did what came naturally, imagine the lead ugly with a ball and a QB on his chest, he dipped his shoulder and ran, spearing the closest into a wall, one of the ugly's companions grabbed his back but the sound of fist on flesh soon told him that the guy was dealt with. Trent turned and swung a punch at an ugly at his left shoulder...and missed. Trent got a knee to the gut but rallied back with a flat palm to the guy's nose before throwing it into a table.
...
Sean didn't know what the hell these guys were but Jills hadn't left so he wasn't gonna either I just hope these freaks don't have guns or anything. He swung and missed, the guy closest to him grabbed his throat, that was when something weird happened, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jills mutter something and the guy turned to dust...which now coated his jacket. Sean looked dumbfounded at his friend/surrogate sister when something told him he should duck...
...
It was a good thing that Sean had ducked, because one of the ugly's had been thrown over him courtesy of the "badass biker" from earlier, Logan was dealing out punches but the vampires seemed to like double and triple teaming him. Out of the corner of his eye, he had seen the one disintegrate after the blonde muttered something before she hit another behind her with the back of her hand, which did little more than piss off the vampire she had hit. With a roar, he grabbed her and sent her flying towards a window duh...the window, light...or is that a myth? Hell...I thought these guys were myths two minutes ago. The problem was, these guys didn't want the shutters opening, three of them had stepped in front of the one big window and had so far knocked cold the girl, one of them, stooped over her but the long haired guy threw him off before taking a punch to the jaw from a female and a kick to the lower extremities.
...
Man, this is not good. That, Trent thought grimly, was an understatement, three of the uglies lay on the floor and that left four on two., two of whom were standing by the window, which the girl seemed to have been trying to raise the shutters of. Trent again dipped his shoulder and ran hitting one guy hard in the gut and ramming him right into the window, his hand fell under the shutter and he screamed in agony as if being burned. The girl raised her hand towards the mechanism that worked the shutters and opened the shutters so that sunlight bathed the whole room. Suddenly, all the uglies screamed and turned first to skeletons and then to dust, weird. Trent ran over to the girl - the guy shouted Jills earlier, that must be her name - to check on her. She had a few bruises but she would live. The guy she was with was recovering also and stood up.
...
The biker walked over to the group and looked at the girl. "I don't know about everyone else here, but I'd like to know what the hell just happened."
The girl thought for a moment, sizing each of the two strangers up, before finally looking at Sean. "If you come to my place after school, I will tell you all I know."
...
Not all areas of Misty Cove are exposed to the light. In one of these areas, a muscular vampire with short black hair resides, he sits on a chair, looking bored. He wears a hooded cloak but the hood is not pulled up. A male with long red hair tied in a tight ponytail and dressed all in black approaches him. "Kane, my servant of darkness. Do we yet know where the Hellgate is?"
Kane gulped, though he was The Reaper's right hand vampire, he himself a force to be reckoned with, The Reaper did not like bad news. "No my Lord, the only information we have is that it is in Misty Cove, we will continue looking tonight my Lord."
"Good, as soon as we find it, the world will be plunged into darkness and we will reign."
Kane bows his head and walks away, one of the few to dare turn his back on his master.
That was when The Reaper felt a shift in the air, and a figure with white hair appeared in front of him. "Still up to old tricks eh Reaper? I must say, you are persistent."
The Reaper snarled, "What is it to you Cardinal?"
"Oh nothing to me, I assure you."
The Reaper thought for a moment, "You are hardly one to talk Cardinal, if you are again making yourself known, you must be searching for a certain girl."
Cardinal Albert Simon gave a wry chuckle, "Conceded, I'm just here to warn you Reaper, do not get in my way."
With that, The Cardinal phased out and The Reaper was again left alone. "Arrogant bastard."
...
"Ok, we're here, now what's all this about?"
Logan, Sean and Trent were sitting by a table in the front room of the home Jills shared with her grandpa, Jills, meanwhile, was looking for a book on the bookshelf.
Finding the book she was after, she laid it on the table. It was a thick dusty book with one word emblazoned on the front. "Vampyre".
Logan sat down at a table close to the door, mulling over what the Principal had said, sure he didn't want trouble, it just seems that trouble comes looking for him.
