This continues on from the point to the arrival in Russia up until a small surprise comes in store for the vampires. This may be short but I'll do better on the next one.
Enjoy!
Abandoned Plant:
"They're coming master." A masculine man bowed to Andover and he had his back to him.
"Excellent, go forth and meet with them I'll join shortly." His minion left the room and Andover looked over to his blonde princess shivering in the corner. "Are you prepared for this my dear? You know the deal, I let your brother live and you serve me for the rest of your days." She nodded hastily. "Good, now come." He held out his arm to her and she reluctantly took it. She still had some control over her senses, but the wolf's blood was too strong to overcome without help.
"Master, I have a feeling this won't end well." The same one came back. "They've brought more than we can count, our spy just arrived."
"No matter, we will simply overrun them once they realize who they'll be fighting against. Won't they my dear?" he kissed Celeste's cheek and she trembled.
"Shall we continue master?"
"Of course, a little more bloodshed won't hurt." He led her out to the grounds, and Andover's entire army made their way up towards the area. It may have still been late afternoon, but once the moon rose the wolves would overcome anything.
Airport Runway:
The plane landed nice and easily on the secret runway set up by the Volturi. The vampires all got off the plane and waited until the last few were out. Aro took his position in the front and held up his hands to get their full attention.
"Alright everyone, we've now landed so let's go over some quick details. For starters we don't have much longer before nightfall, and once the wolves transform we'll be at a slight disadvantage. I suggest we kill off as many as possible before then, but keep in mind one of our own is their captive and if she's in any danger please let me and my brothers handle it." He finished up and Caius stepped forward.
"Do what you want with the other wolves, but leave the leader to me." He growled the last few words and Nekolai stood beside him. They raced off into the woods and stopped dead in their tracks coming into contact with an entire pack of bulky, hairy-like men all crouched and ready to pounce.
"Lots of them, more than I can see." Marcus.
"There's more in the background, I can smell them." Demetri snarled, the wolves' stench was practically unbearable. They were about to attack when a voice came over the two sides.
"Greetings my friends, so glad you could make it to this…historical battlefield." Caius growled at the voice, while the rest stood their ground keeping their eyes on the wolves. "It's too bad you won't simply take the easy way out and surrender to us." Caius looked over and Andover came down a path made by his minions. His arms were behind his back and his face contained a confident grin and eyes looking as if he were about to prey on a helpless animal.
"Why would we surrender to such mangy animals?" Caius snarled. "Your men are still human, it won't take long before we have the upper hand."
"Yes but in a few short thirty minutes the sun will set and the moon will rise, even so my men will gain their strength with each passing minute as the moonlight shines over us. You seem to forget Caius, the reason I'm doing this now…or is it you haven't exactly told them the truth?" he looked at the others behind the Volturi, and Caius just nodded.
"Oh they know, this is a matter of revenge for you isn't it? Revenge for your dead brother and his pack, yet it took you so long to form something as common as a battle on a barren field in Russia?"
"Forgive us Andover, but you've gotten more pathetic than Radovan. At least he had the decency to try and sort things out without harming innocents." Andover laughed.
"Innocents? You mean the Russian coven, and the Romanian Vladimir? I thought they didn't qualify as innocents Aro, so what's the point of letting them live? After all you destroyed their coven, and you took their place maintaining the peace in your world."
"That's in the past Andover, and we're not here to discuss the past; we're here to avenge the ones you destroyed and to take back the one you've stolen. Where is Celeste?" Marcus spoke up and glared. Andover laughed with his wolves, and Caius put an arm up to stop Nekolai from charging forward.
"What've you done with my sister?" he shouted. The laughing continued and someone else was walking forward.
"Why not ask her yourself?" Andover turned around. "Come on out my dear, don't be shy." All red and amber eyes widened in horror as they watched a dazed out Celeste/Ocarina make her way slowly down the path behind Andover.
"Celli!" Nekolai tried to get to her but Aro and Caius stopped him.
"Nekolai don't! She's not herself!" Edward shouted out and Celeste snarled at the others. "They gave her human blood, and then they gave her animal blood! I can hear his thoughts, he's poisoned her to do his will." Caius growled and was about to leap forward when Celeste jumped in the way.
"Good girl my Celeste, now do your master a favor and show these vampires what you're truly capable of."
"Yes my lord." Celli's voice was hoarse but clear enough to understand. She leapt at Caius and punched him down to the dirt. After that the other wolves attacked and the battle was sprung, making Caius even more nervous than before.
'I came to save my daughter, how can I fight her?'
"Caius! Go for Andover, if you kill him it'll likely break his hold on Celeste!" Caius snarled and moved past his twins as they began to fight.
"With pleasure!" he jumped on Andover and they went at it with blows everywhere.
Short like I said but the next shall be longer. It will continue on from here to where it ends but it's not the last chapter. I'd say about two or three more chapters before this is complete, and I appreciate more reviews from my viewers to see how I'm doing.
R&R please.
Later!
