Legendary Werewolf
Chapter 7: Rescued by the Undead
KABOOM! R-I-N-G! "Prisoner escaping! Engaging system lockdown!" announced a computer-like voice as the guards rushed towards the prison cells. "Come on, move it! They're heading this way!" shouted their rescuer. Kouga, now alert of the current situation, ran towards him…and caught his scent. A vampire…he thought, and he could guess that Ayame also knew because she stirred slightly in his arms. "She's been drugged," said Kouga. The vampire quickly pulled out a syringe and injected an anti-drug serum into her neck. "She'll feel better in a minute," he assured the Alpha Wolf as they moved on…but then found themselves surrounded by prison guards and elite soldiers, with Jacob among them. "Shit! These guys act faster then I thought!" hissed the vampire.
"Two werewolves being helped by a vampire? That looks awkward," said Jacob, snickering as he continued, "You'll never get out alive – this entire building is locked tight like your bitch's ass!" Ayame growled angrily as claws grew out of her fingers. "Nobody…" she growled as she let herself down, "Nobody calls me a bitch unless I said so!" and lunged at Jacob, who dodged in a fraction of a second and watched as she tore up a prison guard limb from limb, followed by ripping off an elite soldier's head while Kouga backed her up by eliminating those behind her. "There's too many!" shouted the vampire, "Unless…" he paused as he began to melt into the shadows. Where'd he go? wondered Kouga as he snapped a soldier's neck. Jacob was about to plant a bullet into Kouga's head…when he suddenly felt excruciating pain all over his body. The rest of his comrades felt the same thing; Kouga and Ayame watched in wonder as the men screamed and yelled in agony as shadows filled their eyes, followed by blood leaking out of their eyes, nose, mouth and ears before they exploded, sending pieces of flesh into the air while bone fragments clattered to the ground and blood droplets covered the couple. The vampire reappeared before them, smirking. "Wow…I didn't know vampires can do that," commented Ayame before looking at the fleshy pieces stuck to her claws…and just realized how hungry she is. "The next victim is my snack," she said as she began her transformation. "We'll eat as soon as we find Lucifer," said Kouga as fur grew out of his skin – he's hungry too. Just then, the sound of high-pitched screaming is heard in the distance. "That must be him. Let's go!" said the vampire as they ran in the sound's direction.
"Mommy! Daddy! Help me!" screamed a childlike voice from one of the rooms. Kouga rammed his shoulder into the locked door…and Ayame gasped as she noticed the surprised surgeons holding scalpels in their gloved hands – Lucifer was about to be dissected alive! "Let him go!" roared Kouga as she charged towards them, sending body parts and organs flying as he ripped the surgeons to shreds. "It's okay, sweetie…Mommy is here…ssh…" whispered Ayame as she undid the leather straps and held her sobbing son close to herself, comforting him. "We have to go now…" reminded their vampire rescuer. Kouga ran over to the window, smashed the glass and pulled away the metal bars, creating an escape route. As they ran in the direction to their home, police sirens echoed in the distance.
An hour later…Kouga smiled and held Ayame close to him as she giggled, both watching their son play with his toys in his room. After giving his wife a quick peck on the cheek, the couple walked hand-in-hand towards the living room, where their rescuer just finished sipping the last drop of blood from his wineglass. "Allow me to explain," he began as the couple sat opposite him, "I'm Lucas, Drake's younger brother…and I have a feeling that Drake never told you about me." Ayame nodded in approval; Kouga just shrugged – he didn't know Drake as much as Ayame did. "Must've been because of that argument centuries ago…" he mumbled, secretly wondering if his brother intentionally 'left him out'. "Anyway…" he continued, "I came here a month ago, shortly after hearing about my brother's death. You see, I've been keeping an eye on you since you moved in – it's what my brother would've wanted me to do if he had to leave and I had to take his place. I saw you being captured by those hunters, including the death of two of your hellhounds, and tracked you to their hideout. I was planning to rescue you early, but…let's just say it was difficult – nobody ever managed to break in or escape from that place as long as I could remember." Ayame blinked, amazed that all her questions have been answered even though she never asked him.
"And now, I'd better get going," said Lucas, "I have to attend a meeting with the vampire elders tonight." As Ayame watched her husband shake hands with Lucas (expressing his thanks), she couldn't help but notice a hint of a glare in the Alpha Wolf's eyes; even his voice didn't sound thankful…it was more like growling. "Even though he got us outta that hellhole," said Kouga as soon as Lucas was too far away to listen, "I don't trust him. There's something about that vampire I don't like." Ayame secretly rolled her eyes, wondering if he felt the same way about Drake two years ago. "I dunno, honey…" she replied, "But all I know is that once we had dinner and get Lucifer in bed, we can…" and whispered the rest in his ear. Kouga snickered and slapped her butt. "Can't get enough from this 'bad wolf', can you?" he asked seductively as he held her close, allowing himself to stroke his wife under her skirt. Ayame giggled as he playfully bit her ear lobe. "Patience, wolf boy…" she replied seductively.
