The War Never Ends
Chapter Seven
The warehouse was quiet and dark. Abby and Blade crept through the shadows, trying not to be as silent as possible. There was a noise behind them, and they both quickly turned around with their weapons drawn. The small figure of a vampire could just barely be seen in the darkness. Blade swung his sword forward, and ash rose up into the air. For the split second that the firey ash lit up the room, Abby was able to count at least a dozen vampires around them.
"We're surrounded." She said slowly to Blade. Blade glanced at her. She never really understood why he insisted on wearing his sunglasses when they were in the pitch black of night. A hiss was heard to her left and she swung around. She fired two rounds and two vampires exploded into ash.
"You take left, I got right." Blade said, and jumped into the darkness. Ash rose into the air behind her, and gave her enough light to see three approaching vampires. She felt herself smirk and she took out three small silver daggers. She had practiced this many times with a blind fold on back at the hide out, and now it was time to see if she could do it for real. She threw the daggers, and they each met their target. There was a loud growl behind her and she jumped to her right. The vampire jumped at her, but she was already a step ahead. She whipped out the UV arc and sliced through the vampire.
Blade was ducking and dodging punches and kicks from four vampires. He did a spin kick and all four were down. He waited until all four were up, then he swung his sword around. The ash rose and he glanced in Abby's direction where she was just putting away the UV arc.
"That's all of them in here."
Kali watched the hunters fight off her vampires with ease, and she smiled evily. She turned around to where King was sitting on the floor, his left hand chained to the wall. He had tried to attack her, and she couldn't have that.
"Ready to fight?" She asked. When King only stared at the floor, she growled and narrowed her eyes at him. The hand that wasn't chained suddenly flew up to his forehead and he let out a painful yell.
Abby swung around at the sound of King's scream. Her heart raced against her chest and she looked at Blade. Blade nodded and they began to walk in the direction of the sound. Suddenly out of no where, a vampire slammed into Abby and knocked her to the gound.
"Hold still and close your eyes." Blade said without any emotion in his voice. Abby managed to get her hand around the vampire's throat, preventing him from biting her. Ash suddenly exploded in her face, and luckily she had listened to Blade when he had told her to close her eyes. She coughed and brushed the ash's off of her. She sat up and could faintly see the outline of Blade's hand sticking out for her to grab. She slowly placed her hand in his and he helped her up.
"Thanks.." She said slowly, surprised by the motion.
"Now Hannibal darling, what are you going to do for me?" Kali's lips trailed down the side of King's face. She stood behind him with her arms over his shoulders, and her hand rubbing his chest.
"Kill the hunter." His voice was low and emotionless. Kali grinned a wickled grin and walked around him. She now faced him and stared into his red eyes.
"That's right. I'll take care of the daywalker... All you have to do is kill the hunter."
"It will be done." Kali folded her arms, pleased with her pet. She leaned in so that her lips were nearly touching his his ear, and slowly whispered the words.
"Arlajah Puentos Frerres Scratza Vemunos"
"Shh..." Blade whispered. He heard something, like laughter. Abby strained her ears, and could just barely hear it. She glanced at Blade who held onto his sword tightly. Dim lights suddenly flicked on, giving the hunters a tiny bit of light. Blueish grey smoke appeared infront of them, and Kali stepped out, followed by King. His head was down and he stared at the floor. Both Abby and Blade got in the ready position to fight.
"Ah the hunters! I'm so scared! Ha!" Kali laughed and shook her head. There was a loud bang, and Kali's hand flew up infront of her face. A bullet stopped about three inches away from King's forehead. Blade growled and lowered his gun.
"Fuckin' guns." He muttered. Abby's heart was frozen in her chest as the bullet still floated in the air infront of King.
"Do you really think that I would allow you to fight my pet? Come on Blade! Even I know that you would probably tear him apart within minutes. I'm not stupid, and that's why you and I are going to leave these two alone." Kali laughed and waved her hands in the air. Abby watched as both Kali and Blade disapeared completely, leaving her and King alone.
"...King..." She whispered. King's head slowly raised and he stared at her with blood red eyes. His hands suddenly reached into his hostlers, and he pulle dout his guns. Aiming them at Abby, he began to fire. Abby dove out of the way as bullets whizzed past her.
Blade was in the ready to fight stance when he realised he was now suddenly on the roof on the warehouse. Lightning exploded from the heavens and lit up the night sky. Kali was infront of him, also holding a sword. She spun it around her hands with ease and got into the ready position.
"Come now Blade, show me what you're made of." She hissed and jumped at him. Their swords clashed against eachother, causing sparks to fly all around them. Blade spun and was about to deliver a blow to her side when he suddenly flew backwards. Kali laughed and her eyes glowed an angry red.
"I know you can do better than that Blade!" She grinned. Blade growled and got up.
Abby's chest rose and fell rapidly as she hid behind a wall. She could hear King walking on the other side. Three bullets exploded through the wall, all very close to her. She shut her eyes and suddenly heard the sound of two guns out of bullets. She took a deep breath and jumped out from behind the wall. A fist connected with her left cheek and she fell, landing on her back. She quickly rolled out of the way as King's fist slammed down towards her face. His fist connected with the concrete bottom, and four cracks were heard. Abby was up and in her ready position as King, who was unaffected by his now broken hand looked in her direction.
"King, I know you're in there somewhere." Abby tried, before ducking a punch. Her fist slammed into his stomach, and knocked him against a wall. She delieverd a hard punch to his left cheek, causing blood to explode from his mouth. He caught her left hand as she went to punch his right cheek. He twisted it and threw her backwards.
"Fight it King!" She yelled as he ran at her. She put her foot up and flipped him over her. He slid along the concrete, and Abby got up. He shook his head and for a split second, Abby saw his chocolatly brown eyes. They turned red again and he ran at her, punching and kicking. Abby grabbed for one of her daggers and shoved it into his right arm.
Blade split the blood that was pooling in his mouth onto the roof of the warehouse. Kali walked around him and kicked his sword about 12 feet away from him. Blade's chest heaved as he struggled to stand up. Kali helped him in this, then thrust her hand forward, causing him to fly backwards. He landed hard on his back.
"Give into me Blade. We'll rule the world together, the pathetic humans will bow down to us, serve us." Kali cackled as she walked towards him.
"I'd rather die." Blade said, and kicked upwards. He caught her off guard, and managed to kick her in the stomach. She fell back and Blade grabbed his sword. He knew he couldn't kill her until King was dead, but that didn't mean he couldn't fight her off for the time being. Their swords clashed together again, both moving quickly and smoothly.
Abby watched as King simply pulled the dagger out and tossed it to the ground. She swallowed and brought her hands back up, ready to fight. King's fist connected with her chin, but the blow didn't knock her down. She kicked him back and wipped the blood from her chin.
"Please King, I know you can fight this! You're strong!" She pleaded and blocked a punch.
"I have to kill the hunter." He said angerly, and grabbed her arm with his right hand. He threw her to the ground and stood over her. He suddenly turned away and walked over to a pile of what looked like garbage. He picked up a pipe and turned back to her. He began to walk towards her and she quickly got up. He swung the pipe at her, and she tried to block it. It connected with her forearms. She fell back and he quickly brought it down.
Blade let out a growl and pushed Kali backwards with his sword. It was getting difficult to hold on to the swords because of the rain. A loud clap of thunder shook the building, causing Kali to look away for a split second. Blade swung his sword and caught her in the arm. She laughed when it just went through her.
"You can't do anything to me Daywalker." She taunted. Blade had expected to at least be able to injure her, and now this caught him off guard. Kali smiled as she read through his mind, seeing what would get him angry. She found it.
"Do you think Whistler would be happy? You're unable to defeat me Blade, he would be so disapointed." She laughed. Blade clutched his sword tightly and clenched his jaw.
"You've lost, why don't you just give up? Hmm?"
"Because I don't lose."
Abby's hands caught the pipe before it hit her chest. She fought against King, and managed to kick him off. He let go of the pipe, and Abby took the opportunity to use it. She swung it around hard, and his him in the chest, then swung it back around and delieverd a blow to his head. He didn't fall. The chocolatly brown eyes were back and he stared at her with scared eyes.
"Abby..." He whispered. Abby stared at him. Blood ran down his face and arm, and bruises lined his cheek bones. She could see the red returning to his eyes and she shut her eyes.
"I'm so sorry King." She whispered. King was about to attack when someone grabbed him from behind. He tried to throw them over his shoulder, but he suddenly froze when two teeth sunk deep into his neck. He let out a loud scream and as the vampire drained his blood, he fell to his knees. A blue cloud escaped from his body and he slumped forward. Abby put her hand to her ear.
"Now Blade."
Blade took his sword and quickly jumped at Kali. He shoved it into her chest and her eyes widened in pain and surprise. Blade yanked the sword back out and watched as Kali struggled to survive.
"But...H-How..." She coughed, blood spilling over her blood red lips.
"King's soul is gone." Blade said as he stood over her. She coughed and took a deep breath.
"He's dead."
"His soul's gone, and once you're dead, we can get it back." Blade said, with the slightest smirk. Kali let out a scream and exploded into ash. Blade looked up at the sky as the clouds began to clear and the sun began to peek over them.
Abby dragged King's motionless body out of the warehouse, where Blade met her. He helped her with King just as Brock pulled up. He opened the back door to the SUV and the three of them placed King in the back. Abby couldn't help but feel dejavew.
"Krista's got the cure all ready for him back at the hidoeut." Brock explained as Blade and Abby got situated in the car. Blade glanced back at Abby who was putting a bandage on King's arm and head. She stroaked his hair and slowly kissed his forehead. They did it, and as much as she hated the fact that King was going to have to go through the cure again, she was happy that they were able to find a way to defeat Kali, and save King at the same time.
"How ya feelin'?" King slowly turned his head to the sound of Abby's voice. He had woken up about two days later, feeling the same way he felt the first time he was treated with the cure. Horrible.
"Like I was hit by a truck." He whispered. Abby sat in the chair next to his bed and stroked his hair. He went to move his hand to take hers, but forgot that he was in restraints.
"When do I get these off?" He asked. Abby gave him a small smile and checked the bandage on his arm. She moved slowly, and took the restraints off. She knew he didn't want to hurt her, but it was a side affect from the cure that he would be violent. He rubbed his wrists and then his eyes.
"Where's Blade?"
"He took off after we got you back here. Look...King, I'm sorry we had to.."
"Have me turned into vampire boy again? Look..Abs, you could have just killed me and then never be able to hear my beautiful voice again..." Abby rolled her eyes and smiled at him. Leave it to King to make a joke when he could have been killed. He took her hand in his and brought it to his mouth. He kissed it slowly and then looked at her.
"King!" Zoe ran into the room and jumped onto the bed where King was. He let out a grunt and Abby laughed.
"Easy Zoe, he's still hurt." She smiled as the small girl wrapped her arms around King. He placed his hand against her back and closed his eyes. Everything was better now, there were no vampires and no danger. King moved over in the bed and patted it. Abby smiled and climbed up next to him. She slowly laid beside him, careful not to hurt him. Zoe laid in the middle and slowly, the three of them fell asleep.
