Chapter eighteen:

The leader of the vampire clan is tackled by a werewolf. He wraps his arms around the wolfs neck trying to snap it while the wolf tries to get out of the hold. He snarls and quickly thrusts his feet upwards into the wolf's stomach getting a yelp. He also finds that the wolf has stopped struggling to finally be able to twist the neck bone enough. He feels satisfaction as he hears the sickening snap and the body goes limp. He shoves the wolf off of him causing it to fall to the floor with a thud. He quickly gets up only to look around himself as he watches the clan fight against the wolves all around him. His expression for a moment changes from smirking confidence to a slightly worried look. "Hopefully my love remains okay." He whispers to himself before replacing his expression with one of confidence. "I'm sure the other who is with him will keep up his end of the agreement." He dashes back into battle just in time to spot the spy that had been sent out come back.

The spy's first moves once back with the others is to leap to tackle a wolf pinning one of the members. She knocks the wolf off of the vampire that was being torn to shreds. She sinks her teeth in making the wolf struggle to get away now instead of trying to bite down upon the vampire that just attacked.

The leader charges at the nearest wolf biting down upon its neck right in the jugular vein. He lets go of the wolf from the bite knowing that the other will die soon anyways. He goes for the next wolf wanting to take as many down as possible. He slams a foot right into this wolf's ribs hearing them crack as the wolf yelps in pain. He then grabs a hold of the wolf's muzzle as it thrashes to try to throw him off of itself. He holds on for dear life and clenches his hand in attempt to crush the wolfs muzzle within his hand.

The wolf thrashes even more standing on its hind legs tossing its head around violently. It's thrashing however causes it to start to stumble backwards trying to stay balanced. It finally falls backwards and in the surprise of the sudden fall the vampire clan leader manages to at least crack the wolfs muzzle. As the wolf lands on the floor the leader is slightly thrown off. It slightly scrambles to attempt to get to its feet.

The leader lands on his back only to roll himself jumping to his feet. He makes the very small dash towards the wolf once more only to jump at it. He lets out a slight battle cry coming down upon the wolfs chest. He can feel every single rib break and he places a hand on the chest. He shifts one of the broken ribs knowing exactly where the heart is. He is sure that he punctured the heart when the wolf falls to the ground no longer going to get up. He turns ready to continue the fight if he must. He however doesn't even get to take a single step before one of the clans members who had rushed to his side after killing one of the wolves. He is quick to recognize the member as the spy he had sent to check if what they came for really was here.

"Please sir. We've got control of this area." The slightly nervous vampire pleaded staring up at her leader who watches her back slightly thoughtful. "The other two will need you. Especially if they are to survive… Especially that one…"

The leaders eyes widened slightly and he was barely able to hold back a gasp upon hearing those words. His head whips to turn to look to the direction that the spy had come from. He was certain that it had to be the way to go to find the prisoner… And hopefully the other two.

"We have you covered. Go." The spy lowers her head almost afraid that she would get some kind of punishment for the way she had worded her words. She wasn't sure if she had sounded too much like she was giving an order.

"Do not die before this is all over." The leader demands before dashing off dodging the fighting wolves and vampires.

"Yes sir." The spy's shoulders visibly relax and though her tone was faithful it held a sound of relief in it. She turns to rejoin the battle. "I know…" She whispered to herself. "I know the look of love when I see it. My leader truly is in love." She then hurries off to help with the battle here.

Elsewhere….

Kaoru and Jay are making their way along through the building keeping low. Neither of them have spotted any signs of any wolves around. They both figure that the wolves were all called to where the main action is going on. They come to a slow and stop as they come upon a heavy looking door that is shut.

"This must be it." Jay whispers upon seeing this and takes a step closer. He closes his eyes and takes a few sniffs letting each scent filter through his mind. His eyes open to halfway and he gives a soft nod to inform the ginger that this is the spot.

Kaoru heads closer and reaches for the door handle but Jay grabs a hold of his hand stopping causing him to turn to the other. "What is it?" He questions with the volume of a whisper.

"Wolves." Jay turns to look to the other with a serious look though Kaoru can see the underlining fear of possibility of his death coming up. "Hide. I'll lead them away. You try to get in when you can without getting caught. It's our best chance at getting to what we are here for."

Kaoru nods softly to this and ducks into a small space of a few tables that smell musky. He wants to make sure that his scent won't be picked up.

Jay finally opens the door and hurries inside. "Hey!" He shouts causing the wolves to spin around ready to charge at him. His hood keeping them from seeing that he isn't who he is pretending to be. He leaps at one wolf tackling said wolf and fighting to try to keep said wolf down. He quickly rolls off of the wolf to make one that leaped at him miss.

"Get him! He will pay! Kill him!" A lady in the room standing beside Hikaru snaps pointing at Jay.

All the wolves move at her command causing Jay to bolt away taking all of them away.

The lady lowers her hand and smirks softly. "Oh poor pretty boy." She chuckles not even having noticed one figure moving around in hiding spots and darkness. She hadn't even noticed enter when Jay attacked one of the wolves. She glances to Hikaru who is staring at the open door in fear and worry. "It's too bad that he took the bait and now he'll be dead." She reaches halfway towards the others face almost touching his jaw. "Now you'll never see him again. I hope you got a good look at that little vampire of yours. Cause by the time my wolves are done with him he'll be nothing but shredded meat."

Hikaru flinches and struggles a little but doesn't get anywhere as he is reminded that struggling is useless.

"I only wish I could witness it for myself. But oh well. I get to know that there is satisfaction in that our dear pack mate will finally rest in peace."

Hikaru stops his struggles and for a moment his eyes begin to fill with tears; as he can't stop the images of what must be happening to his own brother coming to his head.

Suddenly without warning the woman is grabbed.

Hiakru tries to turn his head to look at what is happening as the lady is dragged somewhere behind him.

Kaoru hopes that he has managed to get the woman where Hikaru can't see before throwing her down. He doesn't want his brother to associate him with what he is about to do. He clamps his teeth into her neck and pulls back to attempt to rip out her throat. He lets go of her throat then uses his hand to finish the job. He gets up shaking his hand a little. He turns then goes to try to help his brother out of what is binding him.
