Chapter 13

"That's it, I've had it. I'm calling it," Gilbert called out angrily to the group as he seemingly appeared out of thin air.

"It's the ghost from before," Elizabeta said in shock.

"What's he doing here?!" Alfred asked equally in shock along with a good amount of fright since a ghost just appeared in front of him and surprised him.

"Have you been here this whole time?" Arthur asked Gilbert, ignoring the other outbursts at the ghost's appearance.

"Nah, I was here before but I've been following you around most of the day. What can I say, watching you try to figure this out has been a pretty awesome way to spend the day," Gilbert began, only to continue once his attention was drawn back to Romulus, "But then to have it climax with that lame excuse of a reason by the head-werewolf? That was just totally unawesome! I mean, to start with that sounds like something you got from a movie for a different monster, not the wild-living werewolf. Secondly, what kind of idiot decides to sacrifice the mayor to the city he wants to control underground? It would make much more awesome sense if you just turned him and controlled him like you do these other guys. And you're overall excuse of you want to retire and live with your family for the rest of your life? Newsflash, you aren't going to be able to do that! Take my awesome advice and learn to simply deal with what you are. My God, thanks to me being a ghost I've been sent to the afterlife so many times that it's not even funny anymore and you don't hear my awesome voice complaining about it! Not even about their pissy little beer servings which taste like piss!"

Romulus patiently listened to the ghost until this point, at which time he glanced at Arthur and asked, "Quite the friend you have."

"Ya…," was all Arthur could say to this, trying desperately to think of a way out of this mess instead of listening to Gilbert rant.

It was becoming obvious that the other werewolves were losing interest in the rant also, causing them to look back to Romulus for orders. At last Sebo asked, "Grandpa, it's getting close to nightfall right? Can I use my sacrifice now?"

"No! Let me go Sebo, this stopped being funny a long time ago!" Peter cried out as he struggled to get free. As the boy struggled, Arthur noticed a faint glimpse of a vile of silvery liquid tucked away in the boy's pant pocket. Arthur knew what it had to be immediately, causing an idea to take form.

Sebo only responded by tightening his grip around the boy and looked expectantly to Romulus. Romulus smiled at Sebo's eagerness and looked to the other two boys; watching Lovino leave Alfred to roughly grab at Kiku and Feliciano curiously stare at Ludwig from several paces away.

Before Romulus could answer, Arthur shouted out, "Peter, I know that you took that ink again! Well know might be a rather good time to-," he was cut off by Elizabeta kicking him quickly in the head. But Peter had heard enough to know what to do, however, and began to try reaching into his pocket for the vile.

Once he took hold of the vile, Romulus called out, "Yes. You may take your sacrifices my grandsons."

Upon saying this, Sebo and Lovino smirked as their eyes turned yellow. But before Sebo could try to take a bite out of Peter, Peter smashed the vile into Sebo's face; causing the werewolf to cry out as the diluted silver seeped into the new cuts and other opening on the surface. As Sebo howled in pain he let go of Peter, allowing Peter the chance to run for safety only to be chased by Elizabeta who tried to grab and hold him down.

Lovino ignored his brother's distress, too focused on the thrill of trying to bite Kiku to notice. Kiku was not making this task easy, however, and desperately squirmed and tried to free himself from the werewolf's grip. This continued for several moments until Alfred was finally able to free himself from Antonio and lung once again at Lovino; only to give out a slight shriek upon feeling Lovino bite into him when the three of them landed on the floor. As Alfred began once again wrestling Lovino and pinning him roughly to the ground, Kiku got out of the group and began to see what the others were up to.

"Let me go Francis, this is utter madness!" Arthur pleaded to Francis, only to receive no verbal response. Instead, Francis turned Arthur's view to Feliciano, who was still staring at Ludwig.

"What are you waiting for Feli? Attack him. Show him that you are not simply some little pup who needs protection," Romulus ordered Feliciano, pushing him closer to Ludwig. As he said this, Feliciano's eyes began to turn yellow; causing Ludwig to try getting farther away from the two.

"Francis, if you don't let me go now even more people are going to be hurt. Why don't you just go run off like you usually do," Arthur persisted, desperately wanting to get up so that he could help the others. He wanted to stop Romulus and Feliciano before the mayor was hurt, to check that Alfred would be alright, and to make sure that Peter got out safely. But he could not do any of these things while pinned under Francis!

"Feliciano, what are you doing? Get off of me! Stop!" Ludwig called out as Feliciano began to crawl on top of him and look questionably at the mayor's chest and neck; causing Ludwig to blush slightly.

"Feli-chan, stop, this isn't like you!" Kiku yelled out while holding Feliciano back and trying to keep him away from Ludwig. Feliciano responded to this by fussing and wiggling free of Kiku's grip and resumed clearing the way for him to attack Ludwig.

"Honestly you waste of a living being, Get off!" Arthur ordered Francis upon seeing Antonio once again lung onto the now visibly exhausted Alfred. This time he received the attention of Romulus, who looked at Arthur slightly intrigued followed by a growl from Francis. After the growl, Francis let go of Arthur and lunged at Romulus.

While Romulus was much older than Francis, he also had much more experience with fighting and was able to easily parry the attack. After maneuvering, Romulus said, "So that's how it is. I should have known that you would not be as loyal as the others."

All of the other werewolves paused what they were doing to watch as Romulus and Francis fought, giving Arthur ample time to get off the ground and take out his spell book. Checking on the others would have to wait, he figured, for at that moment it was more important that they got rid of the main threat. With the spell book, Arthur tried casting spells to attack Romulus, only to have the werewolf evade them. Arthur tried casting spells to help Francis, but Romulus was still too fast and experienced for the other to hit him.

At last Arthur began to cast a spell to bind Romulus to one spot, but by this point Elizabeta had grown smart to Arthur's plan and charged at him. Before she could attack him, however, Antonio lunged at her and pinned her down; allowing Arthur to finish the spell.

"Another traitor," Romulus commented unamused upon realizing that thanks to Antonio's attack Arthur had cast the spell and he could no longer move. With Romulus no longer able to move, it was quite easy for the tired Francis to bite at Romulus' neck; making the older man bleed profusely.

Romulus stared in shock as he felt numbly at his neck, only to then look in horror as the other werewolves stared at him. Their eyes now were yellow, and many of them began to lick their lips as they ignored what they were doing earlier and began to walk up to Romulus. In a matter of seconds, Romulus was mobbed by the werewolves and gave out a loud shriek as the others began to tear him apart; the thrill of bloodlust too much for them as a group to stop.

A litte dark at the end, but we're almost done so we'll stop here for now XD

As always, please review~
