In the Heart of Chaos
Disclaimer: See chapter 1
Ashley, the teenager newly turned lycan, made her way to an alley; avoiding the war between the vampires and lycans; due to she is a newly turned lycan, and she lack the skills of weaponry and fighting.
The brown haired girl wanders into an alley and she goes over to a trash can, searching for food, she doesn't want to do anymore stealing, because what if her father; the police officer finds her robbing every store; he wouldn't understand if he ever found her in the dangerous part of the city, especially towards mortals, like himself. Rumors filled the streets, the schools, and the mortal homes and business that there are two races, not mortals, having a massive feud, killing each other, night after night, same thing, different night.
The girl, for several minutes, is searching for food nonstop in the trash cans, but all she found is bones; every food that has been thrown out by the chefs, by a nearby restaurant, has been picked clean.
Lycans...
She kicks the trash can and she plops onto the ground; wearing her new stolen outfit, a black leather outfit, and hopefully this will last, because she doesn't want to go back to the same store, because that store clerk might of called security to help watch his business, especially he doesn't want problems in his store and that the city all ready has too many problems.
The young girl looks around, her surroundings, and immediately she sees a corpse lying on the ground, about ten, twenty feet, away from her. Do emergency people know how to clean up after themselves? So she decides to examine the body, just out of curiosity and why no one called the ambulance to put the body in the morgue. As the newly lycan made her way to the body, she gets a powerful scent, it's not the smell of the dead corpse, but a scent, she can easily tell, he was a lycan.
No wonder why the mortals didn't bother taking the body away. They probably want none of this and the lycans can easily track down a human in mere seconds, if he takes the dead werewolf to the morgue and that would be suicide, if he was that stupid.
She kneels besides the dead lycan and she gently places her palms on his cold, stiff shoulder, something told her to touch him. As seconds passes by, she begins to hear a man's voice, although no one is nearby, except it's in her mind.
Take the weapons, you will need them.
Right away she takes the two firearms out of his pocket, the guns contains a fresh load of UV bullets, a special design bullets to kill vampires, almost instantly.
And, also, Ashley, I'm your sire....
He said one last time.
Ashley couldn't grasp what just happened. How can a dead lycan send telepathic message to her? And how did he know her name? Without realizing what happened, she slowly figures out, that this was meant to happen, she has no clue what it is, but she has to keep moving, the vampires could be close by, except its daylight right now
She takes the two black guns and she slides them into her pockets. The teenage girl slowly gets back on her two feet and continues onward to find a safe haven, where she is right now it's not safe. Nowhere is safe, to be exact. It's like no man's land in this brutal city.
Selene walks out of the library, where she does her research, of anything about lycans or anything that seems suspicious in the underworld. Michael first, then figure out...about that 'dying' lycan.
Ashley opens her eyes, from sleeping in a cardboard box that was thrown out by a local electronic store. Her eyes slowly began to change from solid black till a pure blue color. Slowly sitting back up, she brushes the dirt and newspapers that were on her from, the breezy cold winds. She gets out of the box and made her way out of the alley, covered with broken beer bottles and empty needles, just lying around.
She touches her stomach, as she felt a small grumble coming from her. Man, I haven't eaten anything, since I got sired she has to search for food, she doesn't want to starve herself, even though she is a lycan. She doesn't know what lycans even eat Duh, they eat meat...rolling her eyes, that was dumb that she should know what a canine man-beast eats, then again, she is just a werewolf pup.
She strolls along side of the sidewalk, watching every step she makes, she sees a man, about in his early thirties. The young girl stops moving and gets a strong whiff from him. Lycan... Quickly, dashing to the car, to hide, she cautiously watches him, because she is a little nervous about seeing another lycan, besides the one who sired her.
The man standing against the wall, slowly, then at great haste, he begins to smell something, lycan he decides to check out, the one who is hiding, "Come out, I won't hurt you."
She slowly rises to her feet, looking at him.
A female lycan?
Female lycans nowadays are hard to find, especially that not too many lycans sire female mortals become lycans. And including, since the war has been on the planet for so long, they fear that they can be easily targets and their young lycan children.
The man looks at her, "Who sired you?" he said plainly, hoping she would answer.
"I-I don't know," she said quickly. "He didn't tell me last night," she said quickly to him, nervously. After she replied to his question, her tummy growls again.
Last night? That was when a full moon was out? No lycan dares to sire a mortal to become a lycan in that very night. That would bring exposure in the mortal world, unless the newly turned was careful.
"I can tell your hungry. I'll take you to a meat shop," he said, kindly and politely to her. "There, I will get you food." Something about this girl is different...not that she was turned on a critical day when it was a full moon...After thinking what he just thought of, he can't figure it out. "Let's go, it's not safe." He said quickly, because if they stick to an area to long, it makes lycan hunting too easy. He continues up the street and Ashley follows him.
Two vampires are standing on top of a building, close by, watches the two, leaving. One of the male vampires stared most attention to the female newly turned.
"Isn't this odd," he said quietly to the male Death Dealer, at his side.
"Should we sniper them down from here?" said the other Death Dealer.
"No..." The Death Dealer looks at him, like he is saying something crazy. He's ready to open his mouth, but gets cut off, as his cell phone buzzes; taking it out, he replied quickly. "Yes?" After five seconds talking to the vampire on the other line, he looks at his brethren, "We need to go. Someone is helping a lycan and you wouldn't even believe who it is."
The man walks into the butcher's shop with the newly turned, "I haven't told you, my name yet, I'm Zerian." He stops for a minute as he told the man, telling what kind of meat he wants. He turns back to the girl. 'Can you hear what I'm saying?'
'Yes'
'So it's true...' he smiles, just thinking about it.
'What's 'so it's true?'
'You're a special lycan, the next step to our evolution; maybe, you're the one to turn the war.'
"Here's your food," said the butcher.
"Oh thanks," as he gets back to reality. He hands him some cash. Vampires... "Keep the change," he said quickly. 'Vampires are close by...' He doesn't want the female to be seen by the vampires, because vampires love to hunt the newly turned. That's why a lot of lycans don't sire too many, because they don't last long, due to lack of training.
'Are you telepathic?' She asks him a question.
'No, you can read my messages to you and send feedback to my mind. We can't chit chat right now, vampires are very close by.'
She nods her head and knew it's not safe. While the two moves quickly down the road. Zerian finally came across the sewer entrance; he looks at her, and "Whenever looking for any lycan domain, always lookout for a half moon. But I rather want you stay in my clan, which is where, my leader, Lucian lives, and you will need the protection." The man gets closer to the entrance and knocks on it several times.
The big door opens and the sounds of battling lycan, echoes the hallways. Few male lycans looks at her, grinning.
"Don't," he growled at them, viciously.
The three lycan's grin fades away. The three went back to guarding the door, as soon the female lycan is in the lair, away from the outside world.
Zerian leads Ashley to his den, "I haven't caught your name yet," he smiled at her.
"I'm Ashley," she was about to say something else, but a man enters the den, he looks at her and then at Zerian.
"Lucian," said Zerian. "She is a lycan, who was sired last night, surprisingly."
"I wish the lycans knew better not to sire a female and especially last night was a full moon," he said sharply, he is not too thrilled that a lycan dares to sire a female on that dangerous night. "Zerian tonight is not safe, including here."
"What do you mean?" At a great speed, he begins to smell another scent, it's not lycan. "Vampire." He looks at his leader confused. "Who found our home?"
"Kraven," he said softly, he looks at the female lycan. "Keep her safe...." He smiles at her for a few seconds and he walks out of his den.
Ashley watches him go and looks at Zerian, "Where should we go?"
He looks at her, "Follow me." He walks away from his den and heads out for another tunnel. Right away, he stops short, and he grabs Ashley, to stop moving. 'The vampires...are blocking all the perimeters...' He sniffs the area, and ninety percent of the scents are vampires.
Suddenly without warning, gunshots were drawn and the sound of lycans growling and roaring. Ashley knew something is happening, but she is scared, because she doesn't know how to fight or use the gun that 'dying' or dead lycan gave her.
'Might as well, go to our den...' He wants to keep her safe, especially that she lacks of the training that she will need. The half Asian and half American, male turns around and heads back to his den, he takes out his big black gun containing UV bullets.
Ashley follows him and she enters the den, again. She looks around and she can hear guns shots from all over. She too, feels, she should help, Zerian, not because she is newly turned or the next step to evolution; it's helping her kind from the vampires.
She takes the two guns out of her leather pockets.
Zerian looks at her with the two guns, surprisingly she has weapons. He wonders who gave it to her, and then he thinks for a second, that her sire gave it to her. The young male goes over to the big door, guarding with his life and protecting the girl.
A vampire slowly gets closer to a big door and he draws his silver gun, containing silver nitrogen bullets. He moves, very quietly towards the door; unknowingly, there is a lycan, behind the door, ready to the pull the trigger. The male vampire opens the door and the sound of a gun, echoed the halls. The vampire drops dead to the ground, slowly disintegrating.
Kraven and several vampires heard the sound and they decide to check it out. Three Death Dealers slowly stop moving and they see the body of their men, dead; looking up, they both see a lycan with a gun and a female, shaking, hold her weapon.
"Kill the two," said Kraven, harshly. The evil vampire checks what time it is and he smiles. "Show time," he moves away quickly, as he doesn't want the three vampires knowing what he is up to.
The three vampires' suddenly charges at the room where the two lycans are standing. They began to shoot at the two, like crazy. Zerian quickly dodges out of the way, pulling Ashley down too; avoiding to get shot by a bullet that lycans are weak against to, silver.
Zerian growls and he begins to change into a tall, fierce some, deadly lycan. His clothes tears off, as he gets bigger and bigger. The werewolf bares his fangs and let's out a loud roar. "........" He moves over to the vampires, growling. Suddenly with haste he pounces on one of them, mauling him to death.
Two of the vampires changes course and they aim at him; ready to pull the trigger.
Ashley, has to do something, she doesn't want to stand here, watching this lycan, die, trying to protect her. She lifts up her gun and she fires a bullet, containing a fresh UV, and a bullet strikes a vampire in the head.
The vampire drops dead to the ground; the other vampire looks at her; angry. He looks back at the lycan that killed one of his men in the unit, bad move. A huge paw from the male lycan grabs the vampire by the neck and he bites the neck hard. It's a fatal blow.
Zerian changes back to human form, Ashley stares at him in shock she not use to this, he quickly goes over to his cabinet, pulling out a pair of pants and putting them on. "Let's go."
The two quickly exits the den, avoiding any more vampires. Ashley notices something odd in the basement water. Zerian quickly realizes that, she stopped moving. Turning back to her, he wonders what she is staring at. Then he begins to get a strong scent, it's not vampire, nor lycan. He peeks through a hole to see why the scent was so different; there he sees a...hybrid, challenging an elder, Viktor.
Viktor changes his head, as he smells a strong scent of lycan; but rather want to finish off the hybrid and loving a vampire, Selene.
"Let's get out of here," Zerian grabs her arm and the two runs down the endless halls together. Several lycans are too leaving the area; some are badly wounded or not even got hurt. Making his way out of there, a black van, stands outside of the domain, loading lycans into the vehicle.
Zerian enters the van with the female lycan. He looks around, seeing most of his clan, bleeding, as many took the silver bullets out of them, few of them, didn't last long, because the silver nitrogen bullets, penetrated their body, causing it to shut down.
"Where's Lucian?" asked the driver, asking Zerian, since Zerian, knows Lucian than the other lycans.
"I haven't seen them, since the raid," he said softly. He can fear the worst all ready. "We should go; we don't want more of the lycans slaughtered!" The driver doesn't move, unless, Lucian, authorized them to go. "Dammit! Lucian wants me to keep her safe!" He hesitates for a few seconds.
Ashley gently places her hands onto his, she looks at the driver. "Lucian is dead. Would he want you to stay put at the domain, knowing the vampires are still around, killing the ones that are still alive?"
No..... Finally, he starts the van, Zerian, quickly closes the door and the lycan driver drive off, trying to find a clan, that hasn't been disturbed by the vampires yet.
