Chapter twenty:
Kaoru throws his body back to attempt to throw the other off of him. He has to move around as the wolf continues to snap at him trying to bite him. He finally bends down a little in which the wolf puts its full weight onto him. He surprises it by throwing himself backwards as hard and fast as he possibly can.
The wolf is surprised by this action and is thrown off.
Kaoru does end up being thrown backwards to which he falls onto his back on the floor. He closed his eyes to brace for impact… However when he opens his eyes he spots a wolf leaping into the air towards him with fangs exposed. He quickly rolls out of the way just in time as the wolf lands on its paws snapping right where he was. He manages to get onto his hands and knees. He however does need to jump away, doing so backwards as another wolf leaps at him.
Hikaru watches now in worry that his brother might not be able to really do this. He begins to worry that Kaoru won't last too much longer on his own like this. He tries to get up though he finds that he can't as he needs some rest from the feeding. He looks back to the fight as Kaoru just barely manages to dodge two wolves leaping at him in a row. He isn't sure how he is supposed to help his brother at all. He tries to find something to maybe throw and notices a sharp stick nearby. He begins reaching for it. He spares a quick glance to Kaoru's direction and sees him be tackled down. He looks away just as his brother uses his feet to shove the wolf away. He finally manages to grab the stick. He turns to where his brother is. He raises the stick pulling it back. He aims it in the direction of a wolf leaping at his vampire brother from behind. He knows that if this doesn't work then this could be the end for his brother. He throws it as hard and as fast as he can getting a bit of a spin on it unintentionally. He watches it fly through the air then jab right into the wolfs shoulder.
The wolf yelps out loudly and the stance falls now pointing downward causing said wolf to fall short.
Kaoru spins around hearing the wolf hit the ground. He notices the stick then he turns to look in Hikaru's direction of a flash of a thumbs up. He turns back to the wolves when he hears snarls. He gasps as some begin dashing for Hikaru who no longer looks proud of himself. "Time to go." He speaks softly to himself and dashes for Hikaru. He grabs him quickly then begins running down the hall. He can hear the wolves charging after them. He takes a turn into a dark area and the wolves run right past them. He knows that they will very quickly realize that they are not that way. He is very sure that the wolves will catch on that their scents are not there. He hurries back the way that they had come from. He takes another turn as he continues to hurry his brother away.
Hikaru stays with Kaoru trusting him to know what to do.
Kaoru finally stops and lets Hikaru down as he also takes a moment to catch his breath. He does so then lets Hikaru lean on him. He makes sure he also has a secure grip on the other then they begin heading off. He knows that they badly need to get out of here. He pauses and presses them against the wall when they have approached a corner. He can hear some growls and barks. "I'm gonna watch and see if the coast will become clear." He quietly whispers to his brother who nods his head. "Just stay against the wall." He slowly peers around the corner after getting a sound of confirmation from Hikaru. He is just in time to see Jay be tackled to the ground. He clenches his teeth to hold back a gasp as the wolves begin tearing into him. His vision begins fading from normal to blurred then back again. He clenches the part of the corner that he is holding almost causing it to break. He is just trying to stay in control as a rage is mounting up inside of him. His other side demanding release to try to save the other vampire… No matter who else gets hurt… His hand cracks the wall and he is about to charge forward to help Jay when the sight of his vampire clan's leader leap onto the wolf on the top.
The leader had let out a very ferocious snarl as he attacks the wolf.
The wolf is taken off of Jay as the leader shows a huge burst of strength. It's neck is then snapped and it's body tossed aside.
The leader then goes for the next wolf and the next one all dying until all the wolves there lie dead. He quickly falls to his knees next to Jay. "Jay?" He questions shakily as he reaches out towards the other.
Kaoru finds he no longer has to fight for control. He blinks in slight surprise as he watches and listens to this exchange.
Jay shifts his head to look to the leader as he stays there on the ground bleeding. "Is… Is it you…?"
"Yes." The leader confirms. He reaches over to pull Jay close well aware that such wounds cannot be healed. He however clearly seems to wish that there was something he could do to help. "It's me." He doesn't seem to notice the tears coming to his eyes as one even falls down his face.
Jay shakily tries to reach up towards the leaders cheek. He places a gentle hand upon his cheek also catching the tear. "It… It'll be okay…" He tells him weakly.
The leader bursts into tears. "I'm sorry!" He sobs to the other who looks a little worried now.
