Chap 2

Blood.

My blood.

It runs through him, bonding us as blood brothers, eternally linked to one another. I feel him, I sense him, I smell him. He is mine and always will be.

Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, months into years and still he remained at my side, unlike so many others that I have sired in the past. We fight side-by-side, arm-to-arm, against our enemies. Protecting each other from the danger that always follows our path.

It was Russia that I learned of how great he had become.

We had been running for days, the vampire hunters were on our path, chasing us down, running us to the ground. But we were smarter, we always were. Darla and Dru had abandoned us as usual, stealing the only two horses we had and galloped off into the distance.

Women!

So we ran by foot, hiding as night falls and hoping they remain as far away as possible.

It ended in a show down.

We were crossing a wide field when William stopped behind me, slowing down as I heard the pounding of the horses hooves and shouts of their riders to the dogs that broke out onto the open field.

They stopped before us, their menacing growl turning to whimpers. Will shrugged his shoulders and looked up as the cantering horses drew near.

"Come on Will." I called to him, I wanted the fight as much as he did but sunrise would be soon and I would not risk us turning to dust.

"Angelus, we can take them. We are vampires, we are the best vampires in the world and we are running from petty humans." His blue eyes glinted at me and instantly I took up my place next to him.

The first of the riders was the first to break out onto the field, his black stallion charging towards us, rearing as it felt its riders fear and began to tear off towards the opposite side of the field. The rider reined hard and it tossed him, landing him not far from where we stood.

I smiled and casually approached the bruised human.

"My, my what have we here." I pace around the rider and he looks up at me, the fear in his face causing jolts of excitement up my spine.

I bent down slowly, resting my arms on my bent knee and stared long and hard into the man's pale green eyes. He watched as my own chocolate brown pools turned to gold and I took his face in my hands and wrenched it to the side, instantly breaking his spine and killing him.

I heard Will's familiar laugh beside me, and smiled. Tonight would be an interesting night.

20 men entered the field that night, many armed with crossbows and swords all hell bent on the murder of the two "bloodsuckers" they had been sent to kill.

It was not long till only five stood before us, all wielding weapons.

I looked at Will and saw he was tired, four arrows protruded from his chest and he was covered in cuts. One glance at me and I knew he wouldn't give in till I gave the word.

And I would never give in.

Soon I found myself on my back, a large sword ran through my stomach and a man held a wooden stake to my heart.

"Goodbye Angelus." His blue gaze met mine and he laughed as he brought the stake down upon my chest.

But it never touched my skin.

Within that split second, William picked up a sword and sliced the hunter's head off, blood spraying across the grass, and myself staining the world scarlet.

He smiled. "Served him bloody right didn't it." He nods towards me and helps me stand.

"Looks like you need some attention mate" He nods down at the sword that nearly split me in two.

"You too Will." I smile in return and cast a glance at the massacre we have caused.

"Been quite a productive evening wouldn't you say?" His golden gaze fades to blue as he pulls the sword from my stomach.

Cantering hooves are heard as Dru and Darla enter the clearing, typical of them to turn up when all the hard work was done.

"My pretty boys been fighting again?" Darla dismounts from the bay mare her smile turning my insides to jelly. To think a vampire could love. What is this world coming to?? Little did I know that I did not know the true meaning of the word "love"

I can feel the wounds healing and look at my Childe. How well he has progressed and for the first time I looked at him and realised he didn't need me anymore, he could handle things himself. He was as strong as I was and if we ever got in a fight I honestly couldn't say who would win.

His strength matches mine and his mind isn't far off. Even if I do have worldlier experience I would say that he has learnt well from his Sire.

That was a danger that I should have picked up on.

A danger that I should have sensed.

A danger that I should have protected myself from, for now I have to face an enemy that I would never have dreamnt would be a danger to me.
