The War Never Ends

Chapter Four

After King left the training area, Abby thought that she would go find him. She looked in the kitchen, then made her way to Zoe's room where the 8 year old was colring in a book. She looked up when she heard Abby.

"Hi Abby."

"Hey sweety, have you seen King?" The little girl shook her head and went back to coloring. Abby gave her a smile, then continued down the hallway. She was about to give up when she saw a light coming from the bathroom door. She sighed and walked up to it.

"King?" She called and knocked softly. When she didn't get an answer, she knocked harder. She heard a low mumble.

"King, you okay in there?" The door opened quickly, causing Abby to jump. King leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms.

"I'm fine." He voice was low and un enthusiastic. Abby noted the small scratches on his neck and looked sighed. There was something going on with him. He pushed off the frame and walked past Abby. She turned to follow him.

"Will you just talk to me? Please?"

"About what?"

"About what? King! How about how you're parents, the way you grabbed me in training, those scratches on your neck...What's going on with you?" Her eyes searched his. He looked away and ran a hand through his hair.

"King..."

"If you two are done arguing, we got hunting to do." They both turned at the sound of Blade's voice.

"Great." King said, glancing at Abby. He pushed past her and walked towards the weapon's room. Blade glanced at Abby.

"Is he good to hunt?"

"Yeah." She sighed. She wasn't actually sure if he was okay to hunt, or if he was okay at all for that matter.

"Keep an eye on him." Blade warned, then turned to walk in the direction of King. Abby rubbed her face and let out a frustrated groan.


The city was quiet with barely anyone on the streets. It was a windy night, and the threat of rain dangled in the air. The Nightstalkers carefully made thier way into an old warehouse. King had explained that this was a common place for younger vampires to feed. A high pitched laugh made all three hunters stop. Abby and Blade reached for their weapons while King blew another bubble. Kali appeared infront of them.

"Foolish, foolish, foolish hunters." She laughed before licking away the blood that dripped from her lips. She raised her index finger, and motioned for King to go to her. Abby's jaw almost dropped as King walked up to her. She placed her hand on his cheek, then looked to the hunters.

"King.." Abby whispered. Kali laughed while she stroked King's hair. The Nightstalker's eyes were not the sarcastic, chocolaty brown they used to be. Instead they were angry, and red.

"What did you do to him?" Blade asked, not taking his eyes off of the Vampire Queen. Kali smirked and shook her head.

"He's my hunter now. Hannibal darling, attack, and Arlajah Puentos Frerres Scratza Vemunos" King instantly took out his guns, and aimed them at Blade and Abby. Abby was about to try and talk to him, but she felt Blade's body slam into hers, and bullets errupted from King's guns. Blade dragged Abby out of the warehouse, and down an allyway. They stopped running and Blade pushed her against the wall.

"What's wrong with you? He could have shot you and you just stood there!"

"King wouldn't..." She whispered. Blade grabbed her face and made her look at him. A tear ran down the side of her cheek.

"No, Whistler. That wasn't King. That was an enemy and you hesitated, which could have cost you!"

"What do we do?" Blade let go of her and looked down the ally, towards the warehouse.

"What we've been doing. Get information."


"She said something before King attacked us. I want to know what it means." Abby said as she put the camera from the electronic pistol into the computer. Blade watched as she typed in some things, then pressed enter.

"Arlajah Puentos Frerres Scratza Vemunos" She stopped the video, then played it again.

"What does that mean?" She asked, hoping Blade would have an answer. When he didn't answer, she clicked onto the internet. She searched 'Kali Thanatos' and clicked on a page. She read over some history, then clicked on 'mind tricks.'

"Find it?" Blade asked when she rubbed the back of her neck.

"Arlajah Puentos Frerres Scratza Vemunos, it means ' Kill them, and don't stop until their blood stains the earth's floor.' It was used when her race went to war against another race. It causes the people who are under that spell to attack anyone she says, and they're under her power until the source is destroyed." Abby explained slowly.

"So we have to kill the bitch."

"No...Her weakness is inside her pet. Everytime she control's someone with her mind, her life source is transfered into them...It's like the movie Dragon Heart...We kill the pet, we kill her..."

"That means.." Abby glanced at Blade and nodded.

"We..we have to kill King."


Dun dun dun! BWAHAHAHA...lol I'm not sure when chapter five will be done. I became an aunt this morning, and I have a lot of softball coming up, so I'll be busy the next few days, but I promise it will be posted as soon as possible!
