Fireflies

Chapter Three

Jordan two weeks earlier.

The desert heat was beating down on an archeological crew. They were digging out a structure that had been buried for centuries under the desert sands. Natives worked alongside a crew from America. They were digging along a wall that had been uncovered by a recent sand storm. As they worked together the continued digging deeper into the structure.

One of the native workers swung a pickaxe and dislodged a rather large rock. It fell to his feet causing him to jump back with a start. Breathing deeply he looked up to the wall. His eyes fell onto something carved into the wall. Reaching up he brushed the loose sand away to reveal more of the image. Suddenly he stopped, his eyes growing wide with fear. Turning, the pickaxe falling from his hands he ran out of the structure yelling.

His yelling had attracted the attention of all those around him. The Americans looked at one another confused. However the other natives gave each other fearful glances before backing away from the structure.

"What is going on?" A man with a smooth English accent called walking out of the tent. He had been attracted by the yelling. He wore a pair of kaki pants and a long sleeved shirt that was rolled up. His face was cleaned shaved and his hair was short cut. Walking up he grabbed the frantic native and looked at him. He spoke to the man in his native tongue making him look at him.

He started frantically going on about the structure they were excavating. The man then yelled out before running off to the camels. The Englishman watched as all the natives got onto their camels and left the dig sight. He stood there watching as the natives left them behind.

"Mr. Miles, when I hired you it was because you were fluent in the native languages of the nomadic tribes. Would you mind telling me what in the hell just happened?" A man asked walking out of the tent.

"Samuel, it would appear we found a long lost temple" Miles said as he turned to face the American. The man had a neatly trimmed mustache that had some grey in it like his short cut black hair. His eyes were a dark blue that gleamed in the light of the sun. His massive upper body was hidden by his desert clothing. He was in his mid forties and yet he had the muscular body of someone in their thirties.

"Long lost temple? Well let's have a look at this temple" Samuel said as they walked towards the stone structure.

The two men walked down the path passing other diggers as they continued working. Walking into the entrance they looked to see the discarded pickaxe laying on the ground. Both men lifted their heads up to look up at the wall. To their surprise all they saw was what looked like a carving of a dragon. It was a crude concept of one. They saw the wings a long curved neck with a head and horns. Its body was massive with a long tail.

"This is what scared the man?" Samuel asked looking at the carving.

"Greek?" Miles questioned running his hand over some text in the wall. "We've made a huge discovery" the man said with a huge smile as he turned to Samuel who looked back at him. "We're thousands of miles from the Greek empire. This means they had contact with the Middle East" the Englishman said in an elated voice as he continued to look at the text.

"I'm no linguist Miles but this doesn't look like a good thing" Samuel said brushing more sand away. They looked to see under the dragon's foot was what looked like a man. Under it was more text and so Miles knelt down to translate it.

"If I'm reading this right, this dragon defeated the Gods of Olympus... by itself" Miles said turning to look up at Samuel.

"What, a dragon defeated them?" He asked looking at his colleague.

"Yes, apparently a man had gotten angry with the Gods. He unleashed the beast to exact his revenge. He got it, the Gods were killed. However the power of the dragon consumed his soul destroying him" Miles translated running his fingers over the text on the stone.

"What happened after it was free?" Samuel asked looking at him.

"Not sure the Greek ends there, but this language," he paused running his fingers over some more carvings. His eyes shot wide before looking back to Samuel. "It's Anglo Saxon, early English, like what they spoke during the crusades" he said, his eyes as wide as dinner plates. "This account claims that the same dragon was defeated by the Knights Templar. It was only defeated by a sealing spell produced by..." Miles was translating but stopped before looking back to Samuel.

"By who?" He asked looking at him.

"Merlin" Miles said moving to some more inscriptions. "It was put into a slumber until someone awakens it."

"But, Merlin, he's from the time of King Arthur. That's what a couple hundred years apart from the crusades?" Samuel questioned walking past him towards a chamber.

"Yes at least five hundred years" Miles replied walking into the chamber with him. Looking forward they both looked to see a pedestal in the middle of the room. Both walked towards it looking at it. On it was an ivory looking artifact. They looked at it as Miles advanced closer. Looking at it he saw the inscriptions on the stone looking them over he slowly looked back at Samuel.

"What is it?" He asked looking at the other man.

"It says this is a tooth from the dragon" Miles replied watching as Samuel reached forward.

Grabbing the tooth he picked it up. Looking at it sure enough it looked like that of a tooth. His whole hand wrapped aroud the tooth. He looked it over, taking in the details of the massive tooth. It was nearly fifteen inches long. "Miles, we tell no one of this, if this legend is true. Well no one should be allowed to have access to this kind of power."

LA Present Day

"You're a werewolf?" Jade asked, her jaw slack as she stared at Tori. She had never once thought that her rival was actually on her side. This was a true shock to her at seeing this. She looked at her to see she had the same dumbfounded expression as she did.

"You're a fallen angel?" Tori asked looking at her. Her attention turned to Sikowitz who stood there looking at them both. "Did, did you know?" She asked her teacher who looked at her.

"No, I had heard that Allison had a new student. However I didn't know it was Jade" he replied with a shrug before looking back at Allison.

"How do they know each other?" The fallen angel inquired looking at the werewolf leader.

"They're both in my acting class at Hollywood Arts. For some strange reason they are always fighting" he replied looking at her.

"Well, we're here because the demons and vampires are working on a new plan to destroy humanity. Your feelings for one another won't be a problem will they?" Allison asked looking between both women.

Jade and Tori looked at one another before looking back to her. They shook their heads, both Allison and Sikowitz smiled at that. Together they walked back into a garage in the back of the tattoo parlor. Jade and Tori both looked at one another before taking their sides next to their teachers.

"We have discovered that they are planning on releasing a monster upon humanity. Not much is known about the creature other than that its very powerful" Allison said looking to Sikowitz who walked over to a table.

"What's its name?" He asked crossing his arms as he looked to the table before him. On it he looked at different blue prints of a building. He knew this was the target. Looking them over he saw that it was some building near the coast

"Its some type of griffon, same one responsible for the spread of the plague. As in the black death" Allison said with a shrug as she looked up at Sikowitz.

"A pestilence griffon, I fought one once when it spread the Spanish Flu" Sikowitz said before glancing back to Tori. "With humans hunting us all demons and vampires are getting more desperate to eradicate them" he said looking at her.

"That's another point to bring up. Yesterday Jade and I both witnessed the Death Angels. They're here in LA" Allison said making Sikowitz's head snap up to her.

"Death Angels, Sikowitz aren't those the ones..." Tori started looking at him as he glanced back at her.

"The ones who wiped out the Night Hunter clan in New York" he finished before sighing a bit.

"Why do they call themselves Death Angels?" Jade asked looking around at everyone.

"Because not even us, the immortals can escape death" Allison answered looking to her student. "They dress like that to symbolize the Grim Reaper" she said before looking back to Sikowitz.

"Look we'll have to worry about them later. Stopping this griffon from being unleashed is top priority. We hit them in two nights, the moon is full and the clan will be at its strongest" Sikowitz said looking around at everyone. He watched as Alex and Allison nodded in agreement. His attention turned to Jade and Tori. "As for you two since you now know the truth about one another you must continue to act like you do. Do not reveal anything about one another to anyone" he said pointing between them both.

They both nodded before looking to one another. Jade sneered a bit at her before walking off. Tori watched her disappear before looking back at Sikowitz and the two fallen angels. Slowly turning she walked the way Jade had disappeared. Moving through the building she was unable to locate the goth girl. Sniffing the air she found her scent trail. Following it she found that it led outside.

Walking outside she noticed that the scent went up to the roof. With a grunt she launched herself up onto a fire escape. With another heave she landed on the roof to see Jade looking out across the city. She stopped when she saw her wings were out. Her eyes looked the black feathers over. It fit well with her figure. The realization hit her then, she was staring at Jade.

"What do you want Vega?" The angel asked without turning around.

"What's your deal?" Tori asked walking up to join her. She leaned her hands on the ledge and looked out over the city. Slowly she looked over to Jade who was glaring at her.

"My deal, Vega, is before you came to the school I was the top of everything. Then you fucking come along and throw me off. Then come to find out I'm a fallen angel. I finally felt like I had something over you. Now you're a fucking werewolf" Jade snarled as she poked Tori in the chest.

"Don't you fucking think for one god damned second that I wanted this. I didn't want to be a werewolf but it fucking happened. Get this through your thick skull, I'm on your side" Tori hissed back getting into her face.

Jade looked at her before backing up a bit. She looked at Tori. The woman in question had bright green eyes with slit pupils. She lowered her head slightly, allowing her raven locks to dangle and sway in front of her face. She smirked a bit as her eyes looked at Tori through her hair.

Without even a hint she uppercut Tori, the blow connecting with her jaw. The blow sent the werewolf flying backwards. She crashed down onto the roof with a grunt. Looking up she saw Jade standing over her. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that. For two years I've wanted to deck you. Because I am a fallen angel I was worried I'd kill you. Now that I know you're a werewolf I'll be able to kick your ass" Jade said laughing as she looked down at Tori.

Suddenly Tori kicked her foot out, the impact slamming into her gut. That caused Jade to stagger backwards. She looked as Tori stood up growling at her. Suddenly she started to rip into her skin, tearing shreds of her tanned skin away. Brown fur appeared out of the tears and her eyes became a brighter green. Jade stepped back as she was eclipsed in the shadow of an eight foot tall lycan.

"Bring it bitch" Jade growled with a smirk. She got into a fighting stance. Suddenly Tori shot forward at her with a deep roar. Her clawed hands going for Jade ready to grab her by her throat. Suddenly Jade's hands shot up and grabbed the werewolf's.

Jade was smirking confident in her abilities. Her eyes locked with Tori's, both growling. The fallen angel gripped tightly onto the werewolf's hands. Just then she twisted the wolf's hands. In a flash her wings flapped and she shot up. Her knee slammed into the lycan's lower jaw sending her flying backwards.

"You don't deserve this gift, your too fucking weak" Jade screamed as she jumped at Tori.

Her eyes shot wide when all of a sudden Tori shot up. She tackled Jade to the ground causing her to cry out in pain. She looked as Jade's head slammed off the roof. Tori growled deeply as she pulled her clawed hand back. However her eyes seemed to soften as she stared down at Jade. She relaxed, a soft whine escaped Tori's lips as she stared down at Jade.

Suddenly a grey furred arm wrapped around Tori's throat. This startled her causing her to roar out and struggle as a more muscular lycan restrained her. Jade scurried back and slammed into a pair of legs. Looking up she saw Allison looking down at her. The older angel grabbed her by the nape of her neck and lifted her up.

"The fuck is going on here?" Allison demanded looking at her.

Jade just wrenched herself free and looked at her teacher. Suddenly she flapped her wings and took off flying away from them all. Allison turned to look at Tori and Sikowitz. He growled at Tori who lowered her head and flattened her ears. Tori looked over to Allison and then back to Sikowitz. Slowly the brown furred werewolf turned and bounded off.

Slowly Sikowitz turned and looked at Allison. His fur melted from his body and he was left standing there in his human form. He sighed slightly before he smirked a bit. "You realize it's coming true" he said softly.

"What is?" Allison questioned with a confused look.

"The prophecy" he replied smirking a bit.

Two Days Later.

Tori stood next to Sikowitz both looking down at a building. In front of it were two men, both carrying assault rifles. She looked over at him before looking back to see forty werewolves all waiting for the order to attack. Her attention turned back to Sikowitz who reached to his side. He gripped onto a revolver and opened it. Pulling out a speed loader he looked at the bullets. They were silver with a ruin etched into it.

He loaded the gun and handed it to her. She looked at the gun and holstered it. Together they started slowly walking towards the building the clan following them. With a roar Sikowitz led the charge. Together all the werewolves charged the building. The two vampires out in front of the building looked at the charging werewolves.

They were scared as werewolves, several of which were in their lycan form others in the skin walker form charged the building. They quickly ran back into the building. They started shouting orders to the demons and vampires who were in the building. They darted around the building preparing for a fight.

A demon and vampire stood on the statue of a griffon. Both looked at one another before pulling a knife out. The vampire flagged for a demon to come to them. Its wings flapped as it dropped a woman on the statue with them. The vampire gripped onto a necklace, the necklace had that of a talon on it. Suddenly gunfire sounded and some roaring followed. An explosion rocked the building making them look.

Werewolves were flooding into the building. They looked at each other before the vampire gripped a dagger tightly. In a flash he slashed the woman's throat opened. Blood poured out of her throat and all down the statue. The vampire then placed the talon into her bleeding wound. Taking the talon he climbed down to face the statue of the griffon.

"Merlin couldn't protect the world, now its time to destroy the humans" he growled looking at the statue as the blood dripped off the beak. He prepared to jam the talon into the paw of the griffon.

Suddenly a gunshot rung out and a bullet ripped through the top of his head. It exited out of his jaw blowing off his jaw. The demon looked up to see twenty angels flying into the building from the skyline. It hissed before scurrying down to the fallen vampire. It grabbed the talon with its clawed hand. More bullets ripped into it as it turned to the statue.

Suddenly it jammed the talon into the paw of the statue. A blade quickly cleaved the demon's head off. Allison stood there looking at the griffon statue. It started to shake and pulse making her look to Jade who landed next to her. Both prepared to face the creature as they watched the stone crack.

A piece fell away from the eye of the griffon. Under it were feathers that were a yellow color. An eyelid opened and an amber eye looked it them. Its round pupil focused on them as a growl was heard. They looked on as with a roar the stone covering the griffon shattered. They stepped back as the griffon was freed. It shook the loose stones from itself. It turned to look at the angels. With a roar it spread its wings wide. It was free after centuries of being trapped in the stone.
