Chapter Fourteen

Cale yawned and groaned as his phone started ringing. Rolling over on his side he looked at his phone. His eyes adjusted to the the light to see the name calling. He was surprised to see Ashley calling him.

"Hello?" he asked answering the phone. He quickly pulled his head away when the sound of crashing and gunshots filled his ear. He stared at the phone for a few seconds. Placing it back to his ear he started to get up.

"Cale, a werewolf released a giant snake on Nikki and me. She's fighting it right now" Ashley screamed out making him stop.

"We're on our way" he said quickly hanging his phone up.

Grabbing his jeans he put them on as he ran out if the room. He forgot his shoes and shirt. He didn't care though, his sister was in trouble. "Drake, Summer" he shouted running up the stairs. He looked to see them meet him at the top of the stairs. "Nikki is in trouble, we got to go" he said running towards the garage.

They followed him, all three of them ran into the garage. They ran over to their camero. Cale grabbed the keys while Drake and Nikki grabbed vest from the wall. Getting into the car they all looked at each other. Backing up the car sped away, fast as they could to save their sister.

Nikki breathed deeply, gasping as she his behind the upturned couch. Pressing the release, she kicked out the magazine to her pistol. Reaching down she grabbed the last magazine. She sighed a bit as she slammed the magazine into her pistol. She paused when she heard the deep hiss of the basilisk. Slowly she peered around the couch to see the grey scaled tail. It slowly slithered away out of sight.

Her breathing hitch, as she felt the flickering of the tongue. She felt the tongue brush her cheek. Her eyes quickly shot down to see the tongue. Closing her eyes tightly she pulled the hammer back on her pistol. Jumping up quickly she fired two shots. She heard the snake screech, telling her she hit it.

The basilisk looked at her as she ran up the steps. It hissed deeply as it prepared to go after her. Stopping though it sensed something, making it look. Blood oozed from several bullet holes. The wounds weren't deep, it wasn't threatening to its health. It looked out the broken window to see three cop cars. They pulled up to the house.

Nikki stopped halfway up the stairs. She turned and looked to see the snake slithering towards the front of the house. "No" she whispered.

Outside, the police had exited their cars. Six total cops, one had an attack dog. They slowly started to move up to the house. Four moved around the house while two and the dog moved to the front of the house. Suddenly the dog froze, its ears we're flat against her head. Her tail was tucked and she growled quickly. The cop noticed this reaction and tugged at the leash.

"LAPD, we received reports of gunshots at this premise" his partner said gripping his gun. Looking back he looked to see his partner trying to get a reaction out of the dog.

He heard footsteps and looked to see a blonde woman on the steps. She gripped onto a pistol. Acting quickly he leveled his pistol on her chest. "Drop it miss" he barked at her.

"You, you need to get out of here" she shouted at him.

"I don't want to kill you by I will if I have to" he warned not taking the gun off of her.

"You're in grave danger" she screamed looking at him.

"Miss..." He was cut off as suddenly the wall he was using as cover exploded. Wood went flying around him. He screamed out in pain, feeling something had clamped around his midsection.

His partner stared on in shock as a giant snake had ahold oh his partner. The dog whined as she tried to get free from her harness. The cop looked on helpless as the snake's head snapped quickly cutting the man it held onto in half. Blood and organs spilled out across the ground. The snake quickly snapped its head to look at him. It hissed deeply when suddenly its eyes glowed brightly.

The pain started in his feet first and slowly started to move up his body. Looking down he looked on in horror as they started to change to stone. He let out a yell as he dropped the leash. He tried to move but his legs had already been frozen. Looking next to him he looked in shock to see the dog was already frozen in stone. Looking back up he was face to face with the serpent. It hissed deeply as its tongue came out.

Suddenly bullets ripped into it making its head snap up. It spun around quickly to see the other four officers firing at it. The man looked on as he was completely consumed by the stone. The last thing he saw was the tail of the snake lift up before coming down at him.

Back in the living room of the house Nikki looked on helpless as the basilisk killed the officers. She fell to her knees, her eyes focused on the ground in front of her. She had failed to save them. She sat there, on her knees staring at spent pistol cartridges. She breathed deeply as she stared at them.

The forked tongue flicked across her nose. The hiss cut right trough her. Slowly her head started to lift up. Her eyes focused on the snout of the serpent. Its tongue came out again and went across her face. Slowly its mouth opened to reveal two retracted fangs that opened up. Venom dripped off of them. She looked into the mouth of the creature.

Suddenly a spotlight hit it making both turn quickly to look. A bright white light shined on them from the road. A thunderous gunshot rang out. Suddenly a powerful bullet slammed into the back of the basilisk. The snake cried out in pain. It quickly turned to face the attackers. It hissed deeply as it reared up.

Cale and Summer walked forward. Drake rested a .50 caliber sniper rifle across the roof of the car. Cale and Summer both gripped onto an M-4. They fired on the serpent with armor piercing rounds. The bullets ripped into the basilisk. It tried to back up but found it couldn't move thanks to the wall of the house. Drake fired again, the bullet finding its mark in the head of the snake.

Nikki looked as the serpent king fell forward in front of her. It snorted softly as it laid there. She looked up to see Summer come running up to her. Cale walked up to the snake and looked at it. Raising the gun he fired another three round burst into its head. He looked up to see the tail curl around a bit as it died at his feet.

"I couldn't save the cops" Nikki said softly.

Cale looked at her before moving past her. Looking around he looked at the destroyed living room. Walking forward further he opened the kitchen door. He looked in to see Ashley. He was huddled under the table. Her knees were curled up to her chest. She was breathing heavily. Kneeling down he reached to her. His hands fell onto her making her jump. They looked at one another as slowly he pulled her to himself.

Pulling her up she curled close to him and rested her head on his chest. They started to walk out of the kitchen. They looked to see Nikki standing there. Nikki ran over to her and gently stroked her face.

"She's okay, just in shock" Cale said as they walked out.

"Cale, it was Isaac, the wolf from the ball game" Nikki said walking with them.

Cale looked at her as they came up to the car. He put Ashley into the car before placing the guns I'm the trunk. He looked over to Nikki who was staring at him.

"Did you fucking hear me? That fucking werewolf tried to kill Ashley" Nikki hissed at him.

"Yeah, I heard you. Get in the car, we'll deal with it at home" he said getting in the car.

Nikki led Ashley inside the house. Samuel stood there looking at them. He looked to Cale as he walked up to him. "What happened?" He asked looking at his son.

"Isaac, the werewolf attacked them. He tried to kill them" Cale said as they walked back towards the office.

"I'll call Allison, let her know what happened. She'll stay here, she's safest here" Samuel said walking towards his office.

"Why do you trust them?" Cale asked stopping making Samuel stop.

"She's an angel, Sikowitz is a werewolf, one of the good ones" Samuel said looking back to his son.

"They are immortal, we shouldn't trust them" Cale growled looking up to his father.

"They're not the evil ones" his father retorted.

"How can they be, they could have saved mom. Mom would still be here if it wasn't for them" Cale boomed at his father.

"Your mother was killed by vampires and demons. When you guys disappeared I had the other two Death Angels and all werewolves and angels combing the city. We hunted for all of you and all we found were you and your sister. If you want to blame anyone, blame me." Samuel yelled staring down at his son. He calmed down a bit and looked at him. "They killed your mother, my wife for revenge. They did that because we destroyed their hive. If you want to blame anyone, blame me" he said walking into his office.

Cale stood there staring at the door. Slowly he turned around walking back towards the steps. Walking down the steps he walked into his room. Looking over he looked at a picture. A picture of his mother. He sighed, a tear dripped from his eye as he thought about his family. He slowly started to realize right then, the enemy wasn't all the immortals. Just vampires and demons.

Jade stood there, her eyes focused on her mom as she gripped onto her vest and gun. Walking forward she took them from her mother. Her mother just stared at her as she put them back in the closet.

"Are you in a gang?" She asked again staring at her.

"No, it's a lot more complicated than that" Jade said looking at her.

"Then explain it" her mom growled at her.

"Mom, I'm a member of an immortal race" she said looking at her mother.

"An immortal race. Well I can either accept that you think that's real in which case I will take you to a hospital for help. That, or you really are in a gang, and just trying to cover it up" her mother said walking up to her.

"Or, the third option, I'm telling the truth" Jade said pulling her shirt off.

Her mother gasped at the sight of her tattoos. Reaching back she unsnapped her bra. Her tattoos came to life and slowly the wings started to grow from her back. Once they had she turned to face her mom. She looked at her as the wings folded around her body. Focusing on her mother she watched as she gasped a bit before falling to the bed.

"Oh, oh my God Jade" she gasped out.

"I'm a fallen angel, a protector of humanity" Jade said as her wings melted back into her back.

"How, how is that possible?" Her mother asked as she put her shirt back on.

"When you found me, you found a fallen angel" she responded sitting next to her mom. "Mom, there's something else you need to know."

"What's that?" Her mother asked looking at her.

"I'm a lesbian" she said softly.

Her mother looked at her before looking to her hands. Slowly she reached over and took Jade's hands in hers. "You are my daughter. I will love you no matter what. When your father gets home we will tell him." She said looking at her daughter. "About you being a lesbian not an angel" she stated clarifying it for Jade.

Nikki looked at Ashley as she shook a bit. She was in shock after almost being killed. Turning she walked out of the room leaving Ashley in peace. Closing the door she stared at the door. Tears started to drip from her eyes as she walked down the hall.

Stopping she crossed her arms over her chest. One hand came up and went over her mouth and nose. Suddenly she slammed her fist into the wall. She let out a cry of pain. Slowly she fell to her knees crying more. The immortals had almost killed her love.

Steps fell near her making her slowly look up. She looked to see Cale looking at her. Wiping the tears away she stood back up. Her eyes locked with Cale's as he stared at her. They looked at one another. Suddenly she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

"Cale, they came after Ashley. They threatened my girlfriend" she cried softly as she held onto him.

"They wanted to break you. Are they going to?" He asked looking down to her.

"No, they won't" she chewed out looking at him.

"What are you going to do?" He asked looking at her.

"I'm going to kill them. I'm going to make them pay for threatening Ashley's life" she responded with a growl.

Isaac walked into a building. He looked as one of the werewolves who traveled with him stopped at the door. Walking deeper into the building he looked around. He could see demons fighting over slain humans. Vampires played card games as they drank blood. He shook his head a bit before walking deeper.

"You failed to get the tooth" Dracula's voice echoed from the rafters above.

"Well your oversized snake didn't fare so well" he shot back.

There was a thumping behind him making him turn to look. Dracula stood there. His hair was cut short now. He still wore a duster. His sword and revolver were on his hip. The vampire elder stated at him.

"What was the purpose for that? All we did was anger the hunters" Isaac said facing Dracula.

"Exactly" Dracula said pointing at the werewolf. Said werewolf just shrugged his shoulders. "Doing so means we'll upset them. They will make rash decisions and it will make them easy to kill" Dracula said smiling. He looked as Isaac smiled too.

Chains rattled followed by a loud scream that echoed through the building. Isaac and Dracula both looked up towards the upper levels. "What about her?" Isaac asked looking to Dracula.

"She'll serve her purpose soon enough" Dracula said smiling.

"Prepare, soon we'll move on the hunters, and the tooth" Dracula said smiling as he walked past Isaac.
