Battling Again ...

The next morning the seven friends were ready to start battling again. More confident with the new weapon, they were waiting for the lycans to appear. When they saw them coming, Blake aimed and shot. The bullet entered the body of the first lycan in the row. The beast fell down immediately. Cam and Hunter did the same and two more were killed. In that moment, the lycan army started to attack but showing fear for the first time.

Tori, Shane and Dustin took a gun in each hand and started running on their horses towards the lycans, shooting. Raine, on her horse, was aiming with the arrows. Cybercam had also improved the arrows with liquid silver. The lycans died as soon as they were touched.

The battle become harder because the lycans were too many. The rangers were winning at first, but suddenly they were surrounded by lycans. The enemy had a new weapon too, they brought a catapult that made them fly in the air. Most of them were killed in the middle of the air, but the rangers had to be battling in the front, in the back... until something occurred...

"Take Care, guys" cried Shane. "Be alert".

"Hunter, watch your back!" shouted Tori, but it was too late. Hunter and Cam were taken by a flying lycan and beaten to the ground. The lycan also died with the impact.

"Nooo!!!!" cried Raine when she saw her lovers' motionless bodies. The rage inside took over her and in that moment she summoned the power of the gargoyle. When that happened, she only could warn her friends to hide. She was out of control, and started attacking the lycans mercilessly, with her fire breath. They were almost all burned, and the rest torn apart in her claws. Suddenly something brought her back to the reality.

"Bring my boys back alive" the Sensei voice said inside her head. She started to take human form again.

"But Sensei, they´re forbidden...you made me swear..." she said softly, while walking towards her friends.

"Bring my sons back alive!" she heard again and this time, she knew what she had to do.

Back in the woods, there were a figure looking at them. "Do it, but in the gargoyle form". She heard that voice and summoned her inner power again. Her friends saw her transformed, coming to them. She took Cam´s and Hunter´s bodies carefully and flew up in the air... then, she bit them. It was so perfect, so good... she barely could resist. She started flying down to the woods and put their bodies on the ground. She took human form again and bit herself in the wrists, and doing that, she put her right wrist on Cam´s mouth and her left on Hunter´s. Immediately they started biting and sucking.

"The Prophecy is fulfilled" she heard Lestat´s voice from behind. "Let them rest now".

"I love them Lestat, and I ruined their lives" she said with tears in her eyes.

"You gave them life!" he said looking at her seriously. "They were almost dead, I saw them falling"

"You were there?" she asked.

"Yes, I´ve been watching you" he said, kneeling beside her.

"Why didn't you help us?" she said looking at him in the eyes.

"I don't have your power" he said. "I'm not a lamia"

"Ah, so now we're not hybrids" she said teasing.

He smiled but his look was sad "you don't understand the meaning of being a vampire".

"Maybe you could telle me" she said, taking his hand. "You're cold"

"I'm dead" he said.

"We can help you" she said "you can be a lamia too"

A small light of hope appeared in his black eyes... "no, you can't do anything for me. Take care of your friends now" he said and disappeared.

"Cybercam, please teleportation!" she said almost fainted.

When they appeared at the Ops, all their friends ran to receive them.

"Raine, are you OK?" asked Shane helping her.

"Yes, but they need to rest" she said pointing at Cam and Hunter.

"Don´t worry, we will take them to the rooms" offered Blake.

"No, I want to be with them" she insisted, and all of them took Cam and Hunter to their room.

"Raine is right, senseis, let them rest now" said Sensei looking at her.

She was there, sit beside them, and her friends were sleeping, resting. Their bodies must assimilate the new state.

"Sorry, guys, I'm really sorry" she whispered looking at them. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder "Don't be sorry, we knew that sooner or later this would happen" said Sensei, looking at them. "Let them rest now" he said. "I want to be here all night, Sensei, I will take care of them" she said firmly. Sensei left the room and left her in her thoughts.

She was crying silently, with her eyes closed, thinking of them, of all the things she had lived with them, when something broke up the silence. Cam had woken up and was talking to her.

"Hey, everybody there?" he teased.

"Hey, how do you feel?" she answered in a whisper.

"Strangely fine" he said, taking her hand and interlacing his fingers with hers.

"I'm sorry, Cam..." she whispered while other tear rolled down her cheek.

"Don't. You did what was necessary" he said squeezing her hand sweetly.

"When you fell down, your father's voice came to my mind and he said that I had to bring you back alive" she explained.

"And so you did" he said. "Don't feel guilty".

"Cam's right" said Hunter looking at her. The conversation finally had woken him up. "Besides, you knew that we wanted this". She took Hunter's hand in silence.

"It's late, isn't it?" asked Cam, trying to look at his watch.

"It's around 9 pm" said Hunter. "I think we need to rest, I mean, the three of us" and saying that, he made a place for Raine between them.

It was perfect when she felt them both close to her.

If they had the firm intention of resting, they couldn't. Even vampires, or lamias can't resist flesh temptations.

Suddenly, their arms, lips and legs were interlaced in a soft love dance. Making love was the best medicine after all...
