Ok, time for a new chapter. So far, they have begun to fight for the life
of their friend. Let's see how this'll turn out.
Chapter 14
The moon rose high in the sky after night took day's place once again. Another vampire lay in ash at the hunter's feet. Yami looked around the halls. Ashes of dead vampires lay everywhere on the floors of the Black River clan's hideout. Isis wasn't joking when she said that once the first two vampires fell more would come. They had taken care of the first two with ease, but their cries of death warned the others that they were there. Each time one vampire fell, two more would take its place. The number seemed to increase. Occasionally, a Dragon vampire would jump out and help to take out most of them and then jump back into the shadows. Trish and the others had not been seen though. Everyone else had been separated. Yugi stood next to Yami covered in ash.
"Yami, we've got to get to the top and find Shundrika. We're not going to be able to keep this up," the lighter half said.
"I know, Yugi," Yami replied. His ruby eyes scanned the area around them. Even though many vampires had fallen, it seemed too easy. The vampires they had killed fell a little too easily. He expected them to be harder to destroy. It then dawned on him. These vampires weren't strong because all the stronger ones weren't here. While they had been thinking that the leader had been here, he was actually taking his strong vampires to kill the queen. That had to be it. Why else would they be making it towards the top all too easily?
"Yugi! We have to get out now! They're going to try and kill the queen!" Yami yelled. Yugi blinked and then realized what Yami was saying. Quickly, the two ran down the hall. They needed to get to the Dragon clan hideout as fast as they could.
Shundrika cried out in pain as another kick hit the back of her legs, causing her to collapse on her knees. A hand gripped her hair and yanked her head back. Her wrists hurt from where the rope bit into her skin. Her clothes barely hung on her bruised and blood stained body.
"In pain?" an evil, female voice said from the darkness around her. "Good. You Dragons are all the same: filthy, disgusting creatures who call themselves vampires and yet you can't even harm one human. Instead, you protect them and kill your own kind."
"We don't call ourselves vampires. Vampires are soulless creatures who kill for pleasure as well as survival. You are not our kind," Shundrika snarled. She cried out again as another kick connected with her back, but the hand in her hair wouldn't allow her to fall and kept her upright on her knees.
"Tell me the secret of opening the doors," the voice sneered as she was dragged in front of the golden doors of the queen.
"I don't know," Shundrika said.
"You do know. You've been here for ten years."
"And been asleep till only days ago," Shundrika replied.
"I know you can open these doors. Open them or I will kill you."
Shundrika smirked. "Then do it. Kill me."
"Gladly."
Yami and Yugi both raced towards the Dragon Clan hideout. Seto and Mokuba followed closely. The others stayed behind to clear the rest of the Black River clan out.
"How can you be so sure that they're there?" Seto asked.
"All of the stronger vampires aren't there. They have to be at the Dragon hideout," Yami replied. Finally, the old, worn down building came into view.
"There it is!" Mokuba said. They quickly made their way inside and down the underground tunnel. Their footsteps echoed in the darkness as they went farther into the tunnel. Yugi was the first to enter the tomb-like room. Yami and the others came up behind him.
There, in the center of the room, lay Shundrika. A pool of dark, thick blood lay around her and stained her clothes and hair. Yugi dropped his gun in horror.
"Shundrika!" Mokuba yelled as he and Seto ran over to her. Her breath was shallow and quick. Her skin was tinning and slowly turning to ash.
"Shundrika," Seto said as he kneeled next to her. She didn't respond.
"She'll be dead soon. No one can save that filthy creature," the voice said. Seto and the others looked around for the source.
"Come out you coward!" Yugi yelled as he picked his gun back up.
"Now, now, Yugi. It that any way to talk to your friend?" the voice said as a figure stepped form the shadows. She was tall and slim with medium length, brown hair and piercing blue eyes. Her white fangs glinted from under her smirking lips.
"Tea!" Yami yelled.
"Yes, Yami. I am the leader of the Black River clan. I am the Dragon Clan queen's false friend reborn again," Tea said. The smirk never left her face.
"What do you mean?" Yugi asked.
"After I locked her away three thousand years ago, I was caught and killed. I vowed to return to destroy her and get my revenge for her kind destroying me. Now, after so long, I finally have me chance to take that revenge and savor it with my immortality," Tea laughed.
"No, you won't." All eyes turned towards the tunnel where two figures emerged: Trish and Cass.
"You will not touch the queen so long as we still walk on this ground," Cass aid, her voice incredibly calm.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the little pasts. Come to save your friend?" Tea smirked. "And all alone?"
"Not alone," Trish said. It was then that they noticed Isis standing behind them. The golden staff gleamed in the light from the burning candles.
"The missing item. I should thank you for brining it to me," Tea said.
"I didn't bring it for you, fool," Isis sneered.
"The I'll just have to take it by force then," Tea said, her smirk widening. "Attack now!"
All at once, vampires came out of nowhere and attacked them. Yugi and Yami did their best to fight them off, but they were pinned down in no time. Yami looked over at Seto to find him and his brother in the same state. Yugi looked to see Trish and the others surrounded and held down firmly.
Tea slowly made her way towards them. "Tell me how to open the doors." Trish glared while Cass lowered her head and Isis looked away, each refusing to say anything. To Yami, it seemed that they didn't even fight back. Was it because they may cause him and the others harm? Or was there another reason?
"Not speaking are we? Then let's try something else," Tea said before walking over to Mokuba. "Tell me now or this human becomes one of us," she said as she grabbed him harshly by the hair.
"Why don't you just try turning the knob," Trish said.
"Don't play games with me!" Tea yelled.
"I'm not. Look at the door," Trish said, annoyance slipping into her voice.
Tea blinked at her before looking at the golden door. There, in the center of the door, was a small hole that had a handle in it. Tea walked over and took a hold of the handle, turning it. The door opened easily.
Tea smirked. "Finally, I shall destroy her once and for all."
Ok, there's chapter 14. So far I have up to chapter 15 done and working on chapter 16, but I won't put 15 up till I get at least three reviews for 14. Thanks for reading!
