Chapter Six
Screaming echoed throughout a house. Blood bathed the inside windows of the small abode. A door opened and a man tried to run to safety. Suddenly and violently he was pulled back in. Blood shot out of the door coating the steps in his life force. A woman continued to scream but was quickly silenced with the tearing of flesh. At that moment not another sound was heard.
A man stood in the doorway, his long white hair started to change. It became a brown color and shined in the sunlight. Dracula had drank his fill of human blood. By doing this he had regained all his strength.
Being the first vampire he was unique. He could walk out in the sun. A stake through the heart wouldn't kill him. There were few ways to kill him. He was by far the most powerful immortal.
"It's time to go hunting" he said as he walked towards the city of LA.

Tori laughed as her and Cat practiced a play for Sikowitz. They were laughing cause Jade was in costume. A costume consisting of a pink tutu. The goth girl stood there with a scowl on her face as she glared at both of them. They heard Sikowitz yell to stop the scene.
"Cat, Tori, why did you stop the scene?" He asked looking at them.
"Look at Jade" Cat cried out laughing as she pointed at Jade.
The hippy turned and looked at the girl in question. He snorted a bit as he looked at her. "Okay, I see what you're saying" he said earning a murderous glare from her.
"Sikowitz, this is stupid" Jade hissed at him.
"Well as actors you have to learn to act outside your comfort zone" he stated before chucking again.
Jade prepared to say something but noticed people were snapping pictures of her. "Hey" she screamed at them.
"Oh Jade, we'll never get another chance like this again" Trina said in her snide tone as she took another picture.
Jade huffed and stormed off the stage. She went right for Trina who was the only one not to run. She snatched her phone away from her. This caused Trina to whine. She screamed as Jade then proceeded to throw her phone across the room. Smirking Jade walked away satisfied with what she did. One final camera shutter sounded making her stop. Spinning around she prepared to attack. However she stopped.
"You can try to take my phone but I will fight you" Nikki said smirking.
"That depends, are you going to post it on The Slap?" Jade asked, her hands on her hips as she looked at the blonde.
"No, this is for me to laugh at later when we're at the pizza shop" Nikki replied with a smirk as she stuffed the phone in her pocket.
Jade grumbled a bit, but she let it go. Her mission still fresh in her head. Get close to the kids so she can bring down Samuel. Taking him down meant taking down the Death Angels. Walking into the dressing room she looked to see Tori was changing. Her face blushed a bit at Tori's tanned back. She could feel her her temperature start to rise.
"Jade, your tattoo, it looks like its moving" Cat said from behind her.
What Cat said made Tori look at her. The werewolf's eyes were wide as was Jade's. Throwing her leather coat on over the tattoos she grabbed her shirt. Walking past Tori she left the room. Reaching into her pocket she fished out her cell phone. Punching a number into it she placed it to her ear.
"Jade, what's going on?" She heard Allison question.
"Allison, I've got a problem" she said walking through the halls of the school.
"What's that?" Her teacher asked adopting a serious tone.
"My wings almost came out while I was changing" she said in a hushed tone so no one would hear her.
"What happened, what were you doing?" Allison asked making Jade stop.
"Nothing, I was getting changed and I happened to look at Tori and I had a reaction" Jade said with a shrug to herself. She waited for a response but it was quite. "Allison?" She questioned hoping her teacher was still there.
"I'm here Jade, and what I'm about to tell you will shock you" She responded making Jade raise a bolted eyebrow.
"Okay?" Jade said confused as she started walking again.
"You are having a physical reaction to Tori because you have feelings for her, and possibly in love with her" Allison said causing Jade's jaw to go slack.
"No, no, not a chance in hell. I'm not in fucking love with a werewolf" she half snarled at her leader.
"Jade, it's true you have feelings for her. Your body wouldn't be acting like this if it wasn't true. Remember I've been an angel for five hundred years. I've seen this before. Just let it flow naturally and you'll be able to figure it out on your own" Allison explained in a smooth voice trying to keep Jade calm.
Jade had listened to everything Allison had said. She had been denying it for almost a year now. Her teacher was right. It had taken someone else to finally get her to accept it. Sighing she thanked Allison for enlightening her on this matter.
She put her phone in her pocket and looked back as she heard Tori calling for her. She watched to see the latina come around the corner. Their eyes locked and both looked at one another. They started walking towards one another.
"Jade, are you okay?" Tori asked looking at her as she placed her hands on the other girls shoulders.
"I'm fine I just had a reaction to something" Jade said with a shrug as she looked to Tori.
"What?" Tori ventured as she looked Jade up and down.
"The embarrassment of wearing that fucking pink tutu" she coolly lied with a smirk as she laughed a bit.

Screaming echoed throughout the halls of the museum. Three guards ran for their lives. One stopped and looked back to see a man followed closely by three more. Grabbing his gun he raised it and fired a shot at him. He watched as the bullet hit the man in the chest. However it did nothing to slow him down.
Turning he started to run. He had lagged behind the others. However that was his saving grace. He watched in horror as creatures with bat-like wings and insect legs attacked the other two men. He stopped as he listened to the screams of pain and fear.
Looking on he watched as blood started to splash around on displays. If flowed in streams coating fossils and other relics. There was a loud snap and he watched as one of the men's arms was removed. One of the creatures began to rip intestines from a man's abdomen.
"Oh, oh my god" he gasped as he watched the creatures start to consume the men.
"Demons, very nasty creatures. However they aren't like the demons you were taught about in Sunday school. These, well, as you can see are flesh and blood and they are very hungry" a man said from behind him.
He jumped letting out a yelp as he turned. Standing before him was the man he shot. His eyes were a blood red shade. His hair was dark in color. The man smiled before suddenly his hand shot up and wrapped around his throat. He picked the guard up with ease and held him in the air.
"Now, there are more in this building if you do not wish to become their meal you will help me" he said watching as the guard frantically nodded. "Good, take us to the ancient Greek exhibit" he said releasing the man.

Tori laid in bed, smiling to herself. After school they had hung out with the siblings. Cale, he was slowly starting to come around. He actually spoke to both her and Jade that day. She smiled a bit, smiling a little more at remembering the joke he cracked at Trina.
Then she remembered Jade, the girl had been at her side almost the whole day. She let out a soft laugh as she thought of the girl. Something about it felt right, being so close to her. She smiled more, noticing her heart was fluttering a bit. Suddenly her phone rang jolting her out of her thoughts.
"Hello?" She questioned as it was placed to her ear.
"Tori, it's Sikowitz. We got reports that a group of demons and vampires are attacking the museum. I'm sending you and Allison is sending Jade" She heard her teacher's voice speak through the phone.
"Just us two, don't we need more?" She asked getting off her bed and moving to the window.
"No, it's a scouting part low level demons and vampires. This is your test that you two can start to function on your own. Be careful and remember your training" he said and then disconnected the call.
Tori looked at her phone and shrugged. Opening her window she jumped out with ease. Landing on the ground with grace and elegance she looked around and then back up to her room. She stood up and walked around to the front of her house. She stopped walking when she saw Jade's bike parked in front of her house. The girl flagged her to get on and she did as told.
"So ready to prove ourselves?" Tori asked climbing onto the bike with her. She took in the angel's appearance. She was wearing a vest strapped down with throwing knives. On her hip was a pistol, one Jade used as a last resort. There were two daggers on her thighs and her sword on her back.
"Yes, let's do this" Jade said with a nod as she drove off leaving Tori's house behind.

"Sire, we found something" a vampire said carrying a stone tablet to Dracula.
His back was to the vampire. In front of him was a writhing man. He threw the security guard to the left and growled deeply. Turning he faced the vampire who was looking at him. His teeth were that of ragged fangs. With a snap of his head his fangs became normal human teeth. Reaching out he took the tablet from the vampire. Looking at it he smiled as he ran his fingers over it.
On it he saw Greek writing which he read to himself. His eyes scanned everything on it, a wider smile growing. On the top of it he saw a carving of a dragon. "Jelico" he murmured softly. "Good find, now look for anything that shows how Merlin cursed my sister" he said walking towards a sculpture. Stopping he looked at a sculpture of Poseidon. "You've gone by many names over the millenniums. You would still be around if it wasn't for my blade. You protected this world once. Now, you are but dust in the wind" he growled before pulling out his sword. In a flash he swung it at the statue only hearing the brief sound of the metal hitting the stone. Slowly the statue fell apart at his feet.
"Master" a demon hissed as it scurried across the wall to him.
"Yes?" Dracula questioned turning to the demon as he sheathed his blade. The creature gripped something in its clawed hand. It dropped it into his extended hand. The vampire looked at it to see it was a small snake. He smiled looking up to the demon. "Good job, this will come in handy later" he said making the demon hiss in pleasure.
"What is it?" A vampire asked from behind him.
"The basilisk, a monstrous serpent with a venomous bite and the ability to turn its prey to stone" he said as he examined the small sculpture made of marble. He held the actual creature in his hands. It was sealed away and needed to be freed.
Just then the vampire grunted making glance back to him. Suddenly he fell to his knees before falling face first onto the floor. Dracula looked to see several throwing knives sticking out of the dead vampire's back. The vampire slowly burned up into ash. Looking up he saw an angel hovering in the hallway. He smirked a bit as he stepped through the ash pile. "Just one, you must be proving yourself" Dracula stated as he smirked a bit.
"Who says I'm alone?" The angle questioned with a cocky smirk.
A demon started shrieking making him turn to look. A lycan was ripping the demons wings off. Once it had done that it bit the head ripping it from the body quickly. Blood soaked the carpet at the werewolf's feet. It turned to look at Dracula who was smirking at it. With a roar it launched itself at him. The vampire suddenly shot his hand up and grabbed the werewolf by its throat. He stood there holding onto it as he continued to smirk. Turning he threw the werewolf at the angle. They impacted into one about before crashing through a pair of double doors.
He walked forward, his hand coming to a rest on his sword. He walked through the doors looking at them both. They had come to a rest at the foot of a statue that was thirty feet high. He looked up to the statue and smiled. Slowly his attention turned to see his three remaining vampires and two demons come up behind him. He motioned them to form a circle around him, and both the werewolf and angel.
He looked as the werewolf launched itself at him. He backhanded the lycan into the statue. The angel screamed out throwing knives at him. Dracula merely sidestepped the blades as they flew by him. He looked back to see the angel flying at him. She gripped onto a sword. Slashing it he dodged each strike smirking.
"Impressive, your fast" he said dodging another strike. "Very fast" he said before his hand shot out smacking her back. "Allison taught you well, you're still lacking though" he said walking towards them.
The werewolf was on him in a flash. Pulling his sword out he blocked the claw swipes from the beast. His coat swirled around him as he spun around blocking the strikes. His long brown hair swirled around his head. His speed kicked in and he quickly slammed his open palm into the lycan's chest. She flew through the air taking notice then it was a female werewolf.
"Who... Who are you?" The angel asked looking at him.
"Oh, I guess I forgot to introduce myself, how rude of me. Over the years I've gone by many names. My first was Hades, then I was called Nero, then Vlad the Impaler. However the modern name that has been coined for me is my favorite. You can call me Dracula" he explained pacing back and forth as he looked at them. He stopped, thinking to himself as he looked at the two of them. "One of wolves, and one of angels. It's you two" he said a dark smile becoming apparent on his face.
He stepped towards them but stopped as three canisters rolled to his feet. Looking down at them his eyebrows arched at them. Suddenly they exploded with bright flashes. He cried out in shocks as he and everyone else was blinded. Suddenly gunfire ripped through a vampire to his left. The demons both took arrow to their heads killing them instantly. His vision started to clear as he looked around.
He looked back to the entrance to see the Death Angels. He growled deeply as he looked to his remaining vampires. "Do we have what we came for?" He questioned looking at them.
"We do" one vampire said with a nod. Suddenly that vampire was shot with a shotgun ripping his head off.
Dracula looked at him then back to the hunters. Glancing back he looked at the staggering wolf and angel. Smirking he looked at the leader of the hunters. "Another day dear friend, another day" he said suddenly his coat swirled around his body. It turned into a pair of wings. His arms were more muscular and his fingers were long and tapered down to claws. He let out a loud roar before grabbing his vampire and taking flight.
The leader of the Death Angels looked at him as he flew away. Looking back to the base of the statue he looked at the werewolf and angel. He started to walk towards them. His hand grabbing his sword. Suddenly he was grabbed making him stop. He looked back to the blonde who looked at him.
"Dracula is the real threat, we need to go after him" she said her eyes full of intent not to harm these two immortals.
"We kill immortals, all of them" he said pulling himself free. Turning he looked back to the other man and nodded. Together both of them started walking towards the angel and werewolf.
"Today, we're your angels of death" he said looking as both the werewolf and angel got ready to fight them.
