The War is ending

Next morning, after the shower and morning kisses, the three lamias went down to the kitchen and had some breakfast. Cam went to the medical center and brought three blood bags for them. "Just in case" he said. Then the three friends went to Ops and found Cybercam and Sensei monitoring the surroundings with the rest of the rangers.

"Welcome back!" said Tori smiling. "I thought you would like to sleep a little more".

"Hey, everybody" answered Raine. "It was enough I think".

"Besides I think we feel stronger now" said Cam looking at his father.

"And more good-looking" said Hunter teasing.

"That's exactly what I was thinking" followed Shane. "Those teeth are very you"

"Rangers, you need to go to the woods again. The lycans are gathering their forces again" said Sensei.

"But they won't have any chance now" said Blake. "They couldn't resist one gargoyle, imagine three"

"That's right. They're lost" said Dustin.

"OK, guys, let's go then" said Hunter.

"Cybercam, please take us there" said Raine

Saying that, the seven rangers were teleported to the woods, were they could see the lycans approaching.

"Let's transform now" said Cam. "Don't let them even get prepared".

The second later, the three lamias were two steps ahead from the rest, summoning their powers. The gargoyles opened their wings and flew towards the enemy.

Raine's fire was the first attack, then Hunter, transformed into a Crimson gargoyle, put his arms together and sent lightning that hit the lycans with powerful discharges. Cam, in the form of a green gargoyle, was now prepared to attack and using his telekinetic powers, he could make the lycans fly into the air and make them fall down to the ground. The lycans who survived the lamia attack now were received by the guns of the Rangers. Tori had a big machine gun and didn't miss any shot. Blake was following her with his silver sword. Shane and Dustin made a great couple with the guns too.

Very soon all of them gathered when realized that all the lycans were dead. The seven friends were celebrating the triumph. Raine was holding Cam and Hunter who kissed her passionately, when something happened... No one could see the arrow, it took them absolutely unprepared. She could only feel it when it was already stabbed into her heart. All the images started moving so slow in her eyes, she could see their lovers talking to her, their friends trying to hold her... but there he was, looking at her, at a distance of 200 meters... Sensei holding the bow.

"Father... no!" cried Cam holding her. Her body motionless on the ground. Her eyes still opened.

"Raine... please don't go... please stay with us!" said Hunter, touching her face, trying to make her looking at him.

"Sense, why?" said Tori crying. "She helped us to defeat the lycans... why?"

"That's the only way my son and Hunter can be humans again" he said.

"And who told you that we want to be humans again?" shouted Cam. "You never asked us!".

"Raine... don't go" Hunter was sobbing out of control.

They couldn't see the figure approaching until he was close to them. "I can help her" Lestat said. "But we need to act immediatelÿ, she's about to pass away".

"Cam, Hunter, you must let her die" Sensei said. "The scroll said..."

Cam interrupted him angrily. "Those stupid scrolls. Can't you see, father? She's dying and Hunter and I are still lamias"

"Please do whatever you think it's necessary, but please saver her" said Hunter almost in a whisper.

Lestat knelled beside her and bit his wrist. He put his wrist on her mouth and soon Raine could feel her senses sharp again. She started to suck his wrist hungrily. That's exactly what she wanted. "Stop!" he said. Raine opened her eyes again. She still had the arrow stabbed in the chest. "Now, Raine, focus!" Lestat said taking her face with his hand, making her to look at him. "Take the arrow out! You can do it".

Raine was weak, but she obeyed and closed her eyes. The rangers could see arrow moving out from her chest as if somebody invisible was pulling it out. The wound was not bleeding now and the flesh started closing. Raine looked for Cam and Hunter with her eyes... they were also knelled beside her taking her hands and caressing her.

"Can you stand up?" Lestat said. As she nodded the three of them helped her to start walking towards the Academy. Lestat looked at Sensei ... "You can't break the transformation killing her" he said calmly. "She's not the starting point".

They took her back to her room.

In her bed, Raine fell asleep. Blake and Tori accompanied Sensei back to his office while Shane and Dustin went back to the Academy grounds to see the students. When Raine woke up, she saw Cam, Hunter and Lestat sat beside her. "Is that true? what you said in the woods?" she asked to Lestat.

"What?" he said. "

"That i'm not the sarting point" she said.

"It's true" Lestat continued. "If that scroll is correct, the one who made you must be killed".

"You mean, Craven?" she asked sitting on the bed with the help of Cam.

"Yes" Lestat said. "But I'm afraid that's not possible".

"Why not? Cam and Hunter could go back to normal" she said. "I must do it".

"Raine, we don't want to go back" said Cam. "This is what we wanted".

"Better that way" said Lestat.

"What do you mean?" asked Raine.

"Craven is dead" he answered.

"But... I am still a lamia" she said.

"To break the transformation you should have killed him" explained Lestat.

"And who killed him?" she wanted to know.

"I did" he said. "I didn't want to kill him, just warn him... and I just read the scroll after that... I am sorry"

"Why did you kill him? or what did you want to warn him about?" Cam asked.

"When we first met, you told me that he bit you, I couldn't accept that he had transformed you in a hybrid. I was blind with anger" Lestat said with a mixture of sadness and regret in his eyes.

"How did you know about the scroll?" asked Hunter.

"I came here one night and read it" said Lestat. "Sorry for that too"

"Well, so the chain was broken, we will be lamias forever" said Raine. "Sorry guys".

"Don't say sorry" Cam said. "Hunter and I asked you for this long ago".

"The most interesting thing is how could you break into the school?" asked Hunter.

"Vampires can enter any place without being noticed" Lestat answered. "Lamias, on the contrary, are quite noisy" he teased.

Cam and Hunter smiled. Both knew that a very special bond was starting. Raine could feel it too. Lestat stood up and said goodbye "Now that you're OK, I must leave".

"Lestat, my offer is still standing" Raine said

Lestat rolled his eyes and smiled "I will think about it"

"Will we see you again?" Raine asked.

"You know you will" and saying that, Lestat disappeared.

"Offer? What offer?" asked Cam.

"What did you offer him?" teased Hunter holding her tight.

"A big change" she answered. "But I can't tell you yet"
