Fireflies

Chapter Four

Four figures stood in the rafters of the warehouse. Two were men and two were woman. They all watched as the immortals battled below them. The griffin had been freed but was unable to escape thanks to the steel roof of the warehouse. The leader of the four adjusted the sword on his back. His eyes looked everything over as they darted around behind his mask. The Death Angels were watching the battle hovering like the Grim Reaper they mimicked.

"We should help the angels and werewolves" the other man on the far end said making him look to him.

He looked at the African American man who stood on the outside like he did. He had an athletic body with muscular arms and legs. He wore all black too and a mask as well. His mask however had a normal skull except it was stained with red indicating blood. In his hands he gripped onto a bolt action sniper rifle.

"We don't help immortals, we kill them" the leader said crossing his tattooed arms.

"But they're trying to help us" the African American girl protested looking to him. She adjusted her mask which like the others was different. It was designed with no eye sockets and no mouth. Hers was also a blue color making gleam in the light.

"So what? They probably wanted to release the griffin themselves. The demons and vampires beat them to it" he growled before turning to face the others. "No more talk about it, we leave maybe they'll kill each other. If we're lucky."

The blonde who had remained quiet the whole time turned to look at him. He just looked at her, his brown eyes gleaming through the holes of his mask. Her hand came up and gently stroked his mask covered cheek. "We all suffered at the hands of immortals. Not everything is as black and white as you think" she said softly as her hand continued to stroke his cheek.

He looked at her before looking out to the floor below. "We don't help them" he growled turning back towards a ladder that would be their escape.

The blonde looked at him before to the two others who walked past her. Her attention turned to see a black haired angel battling a vampire. She watched them grapple with each other. Reaching to her back she gripped something. With a flick of her wrist it extended into bow. She continued to watch them both struggle below. Reaching to her hip she gripped onto an arrow. She knocked it as her eyes focused on the fight below.

Drawing it she looked down the sights. Her blue eye focused on the neon green pin of the compound bow. Taking a deep breath she looked as the vampire got the upper hand. With a controlled breath she loosed the arrow.

Jade barred her teeth at the vampire who had her pinned to the ground. Their eyes locked as they continued to struggle. Suddenly a bloody arrow shot out of the vampire's chest and stopped just mere inches from her face. She looked wide eyed at it before her eyes drifted up to the dead vampire.

Pushing the monster off of herself she quickly flapped her wings lifting herself up. She looked at the dead creature before looking back up the the rafters above. She looked to see a figure standing there with a bow looking back at her. In the low light she easily saw the white skull missing its lower jaw.

"Death Angels" she mumbled. Before she could possibly think of catching the lone hunter she was tackled. She looked as a demon wrapped its insect like legs around her. It pinned her wings to her body making her unable to fly away. She quickly punched the demon in the face making it hiss in pain.

Reaching to her hips she grabbed her daggers. In a flash she pulled them out and cut the appendages off the demon. It shrieked in pain but she quickly silenced it by stabbing a dagger into its throat. The creature gaged and struggled before dying. Looking at her hand she looked at the blood that stained her hands. She cursed before a powerful roar was heard.

Turning around slowly she looked to see the griffin swinging its clawed talons. In its beak it gripped firmly onto a werewolf that tried clawing at it. With a snap of its head it cut the lycan in half. It let out a loud shriek as its wings spread wide. In a flash its wings flapped and it started to slowly lift off the ground. They needed to kill the griffin before it could spread The Plague.

Just then she saw something, a figure launch itself off of a catwalk. On the fly it transformed into a lycan. The brown shaggy fur swirled around the body as it landed on the back of the griffin. That in turn caused the beast to buck wildly to remove the attacker. However it was unsuccessful in doing so. With a mighty shriek it slammed into the steel doors. It knocked them off their hinges and bounded outside.

"We need to stop it now, before it can spread the disease" Allison screamed as she cut the head off of a demon.

Jade was already in motion before Allison gave the orders. Her wings flapped as she took off flying towards the opening. Her wings flapped as she picked up speed. Flying outside she looked to see the griffin still bucking like a horse. It took off flying straight up into the air. Her black wings flapped as she turned herself up. She followed the monster as it flew into the clouds.

Breaking through the clouds she grew closer to it. Her hand went out and she gripped firmly onto its feathered body. However it did a barrel roll throwing her off. A scream escaped her lips as she started to plummet to the ground. Suddenly a clawed hand grabbed her stopping her. She looked up into a pair of bright green eyes.

"Tori?" She screamed out as the werewolf pulled her back up. The werewolf in question used her body to keep her pinned to the griffin. They looked at one another before looking back to the griffin. "I have an idea, get ready" Jade called to her. She watched as she just nodded and moved so Jade could enact her plan.

Once out from under the werewolf Jade reached to her back. She gripped onto the handle to a curved sword. Pulling it from its sheaf she looked back to Tori and nodded. The lycan nodded in return. With a scream she stabbed the blade into the griffin's back. That in turn caused it to rear back and let out a shriek of pain. Its body was tense as it continued to flap.

Tori seized her moment and launched herself forward. Her clawed hands came up and grabbed the griffin's jaws. She roared out as it struggled to get free of her. Her muscles bulged as slowly she started to pull. She could hear the skin of the mouth stretching as she slowly pulled harder. Suddenly it gave away as she ripped the jaws in half.

The griffin slowly started to do a nose dive as its body curled up. Tori lost her grip and fell off the griffin. She let out a roar of fright as she looked at the ground thousands of feet below her. She started plummeting towards the ground below. Her eyes were wide as she stared at the fast approaching ground.

Suddenly her arm was grabbed by a pair of pale hands. Her head snapped back to see Jade. The angel flapped her wings quickly trying to slow them down. She grunted in stress trying to slow them down.

Suddenly they slammed into a tree causing them to bounce to the ground below. Jade screamed out in pain as she heard the sickening sound of her arm breaking. Looking to her left arm she saw the bone jutting out of her skin. Screaming out she rolled over. Looking to her right she saw Tori laying there in her human form.

Crawling over to her slowly she growled as her arm was rested against her chest. Getting over to the other woman she looked at her. Her nude and tanned body gleamed in the moonlight. Rolling her over she looked down at her.

"Tori?" She said softly looking down at the werewolf.

"You're on my stomach" Tori groaned in reply.

Jade quickly pulled back screaming in pain as her arm protested the movement. Her cries caused Tori to sit up quickly and look to her. Once she did she saw the bone protruding from the angel's arm.

"That was foolish and reckless of you two" Sikowitz said from behind them.

They both turned to look to see him and Allison looking at them. They both moved over to their students and helped them up. Jade screamed out in pain causing Allison to look at her arm.

"Compound fracture, you'll be out for a few days" The elder angel said looking at her.

"Wonderful" Jade grumbled with a sigh as she was helped along by Allison.

"Jade" Tori said from behind them, making them both turn to look at her. "Thanks" she said with a soft smile.

"Doesn't mean we're friends now Vega" the goth replied before moving on her way.

Two days later.

Samuel sat in the private study of his house. His chocolate eyes looked down at the artifact he had uncovered a few weeks ago. Looking at it he studied the size and girth of the tooth. Typing the information into his computer he entered it into a model. He watched as the computer entered it into a scale. Once it was done his eyes shot wide. The dragon was nearly five times the size of a tyrannosaurs rex.

There was a knock at his door. "It's open" he said covering the tooth up.

"Hey daddy" Nikki said walking into the study. "I hope you don't mind but I invited some friends from school over for dinner. Oh, and Ashley is staying for dinner" she said walking over to stand by his desk.

"No problem sweetie. What about Cale?" He asked looking up at her, knowing full well his adoptive son didn't like new people.

"I'll talk to him" she said with a smile before walking back to the door. Her blonde hair bounced around she pranced out of the door. Closing it her attention turned to another blonde sitting on a couch. Walking over she draped her arms around the girl.

The fellow blonde looked at her and smiled. Slowly she leaned up and kissed her. They smiled at one another before tipping their heads together. She had a similar body type to Nikki both being athletic. Her green eyes glistened in the light of the sun. They had been dating for almost two years.

"Samuel cool with me staying?" Ashley asked her girlfriend as she gave her another peck on the lips.

"Yeah, and some friends from school are coming too" Nikki replied smirking a bit.

"Some friends, well Cale won't be happy" The blonde said smiling at her girlfriend.

"I'm going to go talk to him. You know how stubborn he can be. He took a little while just to warm up to you" she said looking at her before looking up to see Drake walking by. "Hey Drake, where's Cale?" She asked her brother.

"He's in the weight room" Drake replied moving to the kitchen.

"Which me luck" Nikki said smiling to Ashley before kissing her.

"Good luck" Ashley said smirking at her before she started walking towards the steps.

Nikki smiled as she walked down the steps. Her father Samuel was the owner of the biggest record company in America. He and his late wife had adopted her after they had adopted Cale. Drake and Summer were next to be adopted. About two years after that their mother died. When Nikki was fifteen she had figured out she was a lesbian.

The day she came out to everyone it was Cale who was standing next to her. He was the one to stand by her side when she was terrified. To her relief Samuel had accepted her and still loved her no matter what. Walking into the basement she heard deep grunting. Looking to her right she looked to see Cale at a bench press.

"What?" He asked as he placed the barbell onto its rack. Sitting up she looked at his muscular body. He wore just a pair of workout shorts. His body bore several scars as well as having tattoos. He grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Dinner is almost ready" she said looking at him as he stood up. He was a foot taller than her and so she was looking up at him.

"That's not why you're here" he said looking her over.

"No, I'm here to let you know I've invited my friends from school to come over and hang with us" she explained watching a disgusted grimace appear on his face.

"Wonderful" he growled throwing his towel onto his shoulder.

"Cale, you don't even know them" she shot back watching him as he moved to a shower in the corner of the room. She turned her back to give him some privacy.

"Maybe I don't want to" he said stepping behind the wall. He turned the shower on and stepped under the shower head.

Nikki turned and looked at him as he rinsed the sweat off. Walking over to a chair she sat down. "Cale, they're not like other people. They're good people, not like the ones who did the shit to you" she said softly looking at the scars on his chest.

She watched as he finished cleaning and shut the shower off. It was quiet except for the sound of water rushing down the drain. Slowly he rested his arms on the wall of the small shower. He looked at her as slowly she got up and came over to him.

"Not all people are monsters" she said softly reaching up to gently stroke his cheek. "You've done so much for me in the past. Please, big brother, just get to know these seven" she pleaded looking at him.

"Okay, just for you" he said with a nod.

"Good, get dressed they'll be here soon" she said smiling as she placed a kiss on his cheek.

Tori gasped in shock like the others did. They had accepted the invitation from Nikki to join her and her siblings for dinner. They were shocked to see the four lived in a mansion on the outskirts of the city. They pulled into the driveway and up to the garage.

"Holy shit their loaded" Trina said looking at the mansion.

"Don't get any ideas" Jade said as she got out of the car. Her left arm was still in a sling from it being broken a few days ago. She looked over to Tori who looked back at her.

Slowly Beck led the way up to the front door. Once he got to it he rung the doorbell. They listened to it chime and it seemed to echo through the building. They looked at one another before the door was opened. They looked to see Summer had opened the door for them.

"Hey guys, come on in, dinner's just about ready" she said stepping to the side smiling at them.

Walking into they all looked around in astonishment. It was large, much larger on the inside. They looked at one another before Summer walked out in front of them.

"So these are your friends?" Samuel asked walking up. His sudden appearance sparked an immediate response from the group of young adults. They all gasped in shock and joy at him causing him to chuckle.

"Do you know who you are?" Andre asked looking at the man before them.

"Nope, not a clue" Samuel said with a shake of his head.

"You're..."

"You're Samuel White, owner of Immortal Records" Trina blurted out cutting Andre off.

"Yup, that's me" he said with a chuckle. "I hear most of you want to be singers" he said looking around at them.

"I can sing the best" Trina announced pushing her way through the group. Her pushing had caused her to slam into Jade's broken arm making her yowl out in pain. Trina then started trying to sing a few cords of a song.

"Not... Not now" Samuel said with a grimace not at all impressed with her. "I'm off the clock" he said before turning to Summer. "Would you mind giving them a tour. Nikki is just about done with dinner?" He asked looking at his daughter.

"No problem" Summer said with a smile as she turned to the group. "Follow me" she said motioning the group to follow her.

On the outskirts of LA a warehouse sat. It looked abandoned like no one had used it in years. Vines grew up the side of it. A lone raccoon walked around the outside of it. As it walked suddenly a reptilian looking hand shot out of a hole and grabbed it. The small animal snarled and growled but was quickly silenced with the sound of a neck breaking.

Inside of the building two touches burned. They lit the entrance to an underground passage. Figures darted by the flames just out of reach of the light. Growling and snarling was heard coming out of the passage. Deep under the building was a cavernous opening inside hundreds upon thousands of demons moved around.

They looked as a woman walked through the horde. Her long raven locks flowed behind her. Smoke seemed to drift off her hair. Her blood red eyes glowed in the fire light of the torches. She wore a dark purple dress that flowed behind her. Her bare feet left burning footprints. She looked down to her demons as they bowed before her. This was Lilith, the leader of the demons.

"For to long we have lived in the shadows. We were once feared, and worshiped. Now the humans mock us. They see us as nothing more than myths and legends. Those that do know of us, hunt us. Like these Death Angels. They hunt all immortals, but they hunt us with no remorse" she started talking as she walked up to a throne chair. Sitting in it she looked back over her demons.

"We must remind these, insects that we rule this world and it is through our graces that they live here. We grant them the life, we allow them to live. We must show them why we rule this world" She said making the demons cheer with her.

"And how would you plan on making the humans fear us once more?" A man called from the entrance of the cavern.

Lilith looked up as did her demons. Standing at the entrance was a man. He was wearing a long black duster coat. His black eyes looked as all the demons started to surround him. Moving his coat back he revealed a sword and a revolver. However Lilith's hand went up and the demons stopped.

"Dracula, I believe I told you to never set foot in my domain. If you did I'd kill you" she said standing up.

"I recall, but my vampires and your demons have been working together. The release of the pestilence griffin was stopped by werewolves and angels. However the humans are far more of a problem" the vampire creator said walking towards her.

Lilith looked around at her demons before looking back to Dracula. He stood ten feet from her, his long white hair hung down his back. They looked at one another for some uneasy seconds. "What do you purpose?" She questioned him.

"We unleash Jelico, the dragon that caused us to go into hiding" He said looking at her.

"That accursed monster, we created it to control humans and they were the ones who used it on us" she hissed walking around him.

"I know dear sister, if we hadn't ruled the underworld we would have fallen prey to the beast. Now we can unleash it. A tooth has been uncovered, and the time of the prophecy is upon us" he explained looking at her causing her to stop.

"The pure hearted werewolf and angel?" She questioned looking at him as he just nodded. "They decide fate, and better yet we can corrupt them to work for us" she said to herself, tapping her chin as she thought of it. Turning she looked to her demons. "Go forth find me these two, find me the tooth, and bring me the skulls of the Death Angels" she ordered the demons smiling as they ran off into the darkness.

"So nice to be at your side again sister" Dracula said walking back towards the exit.

"Where are you going?" She asked looking at him.

"Unlike you, I wasn't cursed by Merlin to live underground fifty one weeks of the year" he replied before smiling at her. "I'm going to look for them and also I want the leader of the Death Angels head for myself." He replied with a snarl.

"Good luck, and be safe dear brother" she said waving him off. A smile went across her face. She would break her curse and rule humanity once more.
