Chapter 6

Blood Spiral

Dante's POV

"You were the good one, Sophie!" Zhalia yelled.

"I couldn't not ignore it." She said.

"You made Puck m- Ahh!" She gripped her arm the one with the Spiral tattoo.

"Zhalia!" I went to her side.

"They're close by, but they're not near a safe house." She grunted.

"The Xanatoses. They're in danger." I took out my phone.

Talia's POV

"Something's coming." I said, putting my red tinted milk down.

"What is it, Talia?" Fox asked.

"Evil Seeker magic." Owen said.

"C'mon, Xander, let's go." I picked him up and started off toward the bunker. David went to go put his power armor on or something and Fox left to go get a gun.

"Hello, this is Owen Burnett of Xanatos Enterprises." Owen answered his phone, stopping me. "Blood Spiral?" He turned into Puck and healed my wounds. "We have things under control, Mr. Vale. Thank you for the warning. Good night."

"Shouldn't we let them help?" I asked.

"Did you really think you could leave just like that, Talia?" Puck frowned at me.

"We're about to attacked." I said.

"Your health is important." Owen in Puck's body gave me my amulets. "Have Freelancer stand guard."

"Ok." I left.

Puck's POV

Xanatos put the shield up and just in time too. Dante wasn't wrong about them giving no fucks. But compared to Oberon, they were a piece of cake. However, it'd be an annoyance to have them here all night. I went to Goliath's tower and summoned the clan and the detectives.

"What's the meaning of-" Goliath growled before looking past me. "Why are they here?"

"Dante said they're after the amulets Xanatos had. He's going to let the shield down so we can drive them away." I told them. "We can't let them stay all night."

"I'm not sure how far you think a bullet goes, but it won't be easy hitting the guys on the giant bugs!" Matt exclaimed.

"They're not real bugs, they're these spirt warriors called Titans. One bullet should send them back." I said as the shield went down. "Get ready."

The gargoyles took to the air while the humans started running down the stairs. I could have got them where they wanted to be, but whatever. The Blood Spiral started firing spells and trying to land. I frowned and summoned Dante and his friends.

"What happened?" Sophie rubbed her head.

"Ok, so I underestimated how many Blood Spirals there were. So, if you could help, that'd be great." I said.

"Why are there so many?" Lok asked.

"I have n… This might be Talia's fault. She must have caught their attention." I frowned.

"She had no idea this would happen. Alright, Seekers, we have a mission." Dante said and most of them jumped off the tower into battle. Only Zhalia remained.

"Things might be calm for the moment, but if you don't acknowledge the true problem, it's going to come back worse than before." She leapt off the tower.

I paused before joining the fight. That was something for later.

Talia's POV

I watched the battle on the monitors. Puck's words rang in my ears. This was my fault. I brought the Blood Spiral here. I put everyone in danger unnecessarily. This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't used my powers, if only… I scowled.

Alex touched my lips, trying to make me smile. I let out a breath and put on a smile for him, trying to ignore the thoughts swirling inside my mind.
