MoonMama89: your right damon won't be killed that easily but what happens is coming up soon. Diamond is going to be something to see... I haven't planned for the elder to die but that could still happen…haven't fully decided yet. I haven't decided on an epilogue yet…but mostly because I'm not sure if there will be anymore underworld movies (tv show) so I don't know yet…chibi usa was never a favorite of mine either. And believe me I've been there. The moving and everything its time consuming and tiring. But thank you for the reviews and the favoriting! So sweet, sweet of everyone really but sweet. 😊

Guest (1): yes the battle will be raging on for some time now. I'm trying to get as any POV's that make a difference in as I can.

2 reviews, that's nice…these are the final chapters coming up here so please read and review. I really do hope you all enjoy the battle sequences about to happen!

A vampires forbidden love ch.21

Usagi POV

Seeing Mamoru walk out with Rei intact gave me a bit of relief as they seemed bruised up, bleeding and battered but not too badly hurt…at least nothing to warrant my immediate concern or worry. Then that's when I saw the bloodied object that Rei had gripped firmly in her hand. There was dark hair matted all around it but it was clearly a head. Question was why was she holding it? I wouldn't get long to contemplate it though.

Before they could say to much to us that's when we heard these big metal contraption weapons that I hadn't seen in the warehouse they had. It wasn't till they had two of them down on the marble floor that I could gain a decent and horrific guess as to what they were. Then some of the selective ammunitions I remembered seeing made more sense and all the more worse for us. I could see they were big and heavy.

Not to mention the Lycan's around it looked pretty determined and pleased with themselves. I looked over and saw something that looked vaguely familiar. One of those larger bullet casings was being loaded. But the aim wasn't for our vampires. Something that threw me off. "Why not aim for the enemy…?" I muttered. I heard a barely there response over the com's before it suddenly hit me as I saw the direction aim.

Something told me to get everyone down and fast. "First wave exterminate them!" Damon shouted and suddenly I felt that was a big FUCKING mistake. Yes the Lycan's at the machines looked vulnerable which was undoubtedly the reason for his order but it was the wrong move tactically. In my opinion. I rushed over as fast as I could while dodging the lethal bullets and shouted over the com's already predicting what would happen and feeling suddenly powerless to stop it.

"Don't go out first wave. Hold your positions until we know what the hell it is they have!" I could only hope that they would stay back and defy Damon's orders. I made it to another section of the stairwell we had with Mamoru and Rei trying to get to me as well when the response over the com's was from Damon, "Do not have me pulling rank Usagi!" he snapped, "Damon they have those new weapons we need to fall back until we know what we're dealing with!" I pleaded in a tone not to be ignored.

I didn't know what they were but it had to be something big in order to NOT aim at our people, "Listen Damon their not aiming at us their aiming at the walls!" something should tell him that this wasn't right. That's when I saw what was blindly on the walls. The specialized windows. I could still see rays of sunlight coming in through the back windows though. It was a cornering technic. I looked back and watched as Damon ordered them forward.

I didn't even get a yelp out as a for warning before they took a shot with their miniature cannons and sent a bright looking ball of light straight up past us and into the tallest window we had. The sunlight that was still falling behind us came through the window and shone down on a select few of the vampires we had in the first wave. They disintegrated like paper into ash as their comrades next to them became confused as to how it happened. It gave the Lycan's the advantage to push forward and kill more of ours.

Their guns going off repeatedly as more vampires fell. Their big cannon thing popped out a few more balls of light as there was no better term for what one could see at that speed. They hit the windows surrounding the upper floor pouring what was left of the sunlight from behind into the estate. "Fall back NOW!" I nearly screamed into the com's as the first wave was nearly decimated when that happened. Only a quarter survived as they fell back in with the second wave of vampires.

"What the fuck are those things and why they hell are they still standing?!" Damon shouted furiously. Understandably so given the hit we just took. The Lycan's were beginning to get further inside and had already taken out four more windows killing over a dozen more of our own before moving further inside. This is what those were for. I looked back and forth as Mamoru and Rei got to us on the landing.

"What the fuck are those things?" Rei demanded. Ducking behind a post at the top of the stairwells. Not that she was afraid but there was just that much firepower. Once the first wave was damn near gone the Lycan's advanced giving them more room to invade our home. They came in with the metal bullet proof sheets giving them great cover while shooting at our own in the process.

Suddenly I felt like we were terribly overwhelmed with the battle. It had literally spilled into our home. I rose up and grabbed a gun from my side in hopes that if I could get simply a few seconds that I could take out one of the Lycan's behind the big metal machine that was spitting out those blue fire balls that would be one less to worry about and seeing as they only had two it was workable. This was why I had wanted to fall back.

Get a better understanding of what we were dealing with to regroup faster and with less casualties. Damon got up alongside us as he seemed highly frustrated, "Don't ever order them to do something without checking it through me first!" he snapped at me. "Damon in case you didn't notice there was no time for that!" I snapped back. "Your order confused them and got them killed!" he yelled at me.

I was stunned by that and briefly wondered if he was right…but before I could say anything Mamoru went up to him and in a fit of anger punched Damon in the face, "Don't blame her for your downfalls. Now we need to take down those small cannons to avoid any more destruction from happening to this place. It's all of our home." Mamoru said. Damon noticed the blood on his lip from the hit and looked back at Mamoru. The rage and anger under his depth made him look ready to kill.

I genuinely feared for Mamoru's safety right now and not against the Lycan's….but against Damon. Before any move could be made Rei's voice broke in, "Get over yourself Damon we have a war to win!" he turned away from Mamoru as I voiced, "Mamoru, think you and Rei – chan could give me cover while I aim for the mini cannon ball machines." He nodded as did Rei both taking aim as I found another spot to hit them at. If I could take the Lycan's out from behind them first then take them out we'd be back on point.

Finding a new placement on a lower level section of the stairs I found a decent vantage point but it was also incredibly tight and stifling for the position. I was in between the posts with my upper body on one step and low lower half on the next step down with my leg tucked in to give me support as the steps weren't exactly wide enough to support my frame. So when Mamoru and Rei drew their fire I zeroed in on one and took aim.

The Lycan behind went down with ease as the other next to him took control but he soon to meet a bloody end when I shot him in the head as well. Their fallen bodies oozing silver nitrate from their open wounds as they died. Now the mini cannon was unmanned…so to speak. I looked at this contraption from my vantage point to find the best way to destroy it as it couldn't be really used against them, not where it was located at.

So I took a chance and did the next best thing, plan B. which was funny since I didn't even have a plan A. I moved myself over and through the com's said, "Keep them busy." As I switched to the other mini cannon and just barely squeezed off a few shots killing the Lycan's and once again leaving the big weapon unmanned and hopefully destroyed soon. I narrowed my eyes at it before deciding.

Not wanting to waste any more time since things were already going sideways I stood up and took a big and noticeable leap. Flipping up and over the railing, barely managing to avoid shots fired at me from the Lycan's below and gaining what little cover from Mamoru and Rei I could along with a few other vampires as I dropped down by the cannon's. Unfortunately I dropped by a Lycan that had just moved into place in front of me.

Pulling my knife out I slashed it across his neck as I grabbed his gun and shot the nearby Lycan's effectively giving the vampires in that area a small break as they were being outnumbered and fast. The bullets ran out soon afterwards forcing me to realize I had just jumped down into the hornet's nest. I had to do what I jumped here for and get the hell out cause even with my age and skills a large pack of two like this could bring just able anyone to their knees…just about…I briefly remembered our Hail Mary.

I could only hope that Diamond got out of his funk and would be ready to tear these Lycan's up cause as it stands, its literally two wolf packs against a coven, a few extras and limited ammunition. Its why we were out-numbered, our coven was a fortress to break into making us feel more immune than we really were, but every fortress had its weaknesses…nothing was impenetrable…including us. Taking out the last Lycan near me with the gun, smashing it into his face hard enough to break his face I looked around for cover.

Seeing it I rolled nearly under the cannons to avoid more bullets during the slaughter-fest going on as I rose up between the two and removed two regular grenades from my person and planted them on the metal components. I ducked and rolled away as a Lycan came up ready to shoot me. I kicked out from underneath at her feet before jumped back up to my own, kicking the gun from her hand and jumping even taller mid height landed another kick at her head effectively snapping her neck and taking her out from the fight.

I then jumped backwards and away as the ten seconds was up seemingly near instantly later. The grenades went off before I could fully land, pushing me back against the stairwell. The wind got knocked from me on impact. The railing dented in from the force of it and cracked in other places. Some wood chips falling down and becoming debris that I shrugged off as the Lycan's nearby surrounded me with their guns.

I wondered why they didn't just shot me, not that I wouldn't have dodged them, but I wondered why as I pulled my own guns out but even I knew I was severely outnumbered. My cover was probably busy reloading so I was on my own for the next little bit of time. Plus I had a feeling Damon was leaving me to my own devices on this one. "You must be the girl I was talking with earlier." Yamamoro I barely breathed the name out loud as he spoke to me.

He walked from between the group of Lycan's and stood before me proud as anything in similar battle gear that our own elder had on him. He looked different than what he did from in that warehouse. He looked weathered, old, like crypt keeper old. He made me see his as a nightmare come to life and it made me want to kill him all the more. Had we had the time I would have commented on how much better looking our elder was but it wasn't the time for it.

Besides to be perfectly honest I was still stunned to see him so up close and personal. This was the same man that murdered in cold blood. He murdered our elders mate and unborn child…I know there's a special place in hell for people like him…men and women alike who have done such horrific things to other people and see it as pleasurable…fun…an end to meet their needs no matter the cost.

The sad part is, is that these people, these soulless monsters, like him, are still alive and breathing when it should be their victims who live and they who die. To have such evil exist out there was unfathomable. There were such innocents lost by these people and one of the biggest reason for kids nightmares growing up was this man in front of me. It just occurred to me that he was a living breathing nightmare standing in front of me that I had to kill but do it right to avoid there being any question regarding his death to his Lycan comrades.

I looked around quickly seeing the destruction our home was now in. How happy this prick looked. There would never be reasoning with him nor sympathy. If there had been he would have held something amounting to anything towards our elder when he killed his unborn child…that knowledge still burned me now. I had to kill him but I had to be smart about it to…just like that day on the roof tops.

I felt I should have killed him back then but like now I had this instinct that told me when to act and when not to act. They were telling me to wait and looking at where I was I understood why, I had to be smart about this. "Hai, and you must be the murdering bastard we've heard about. Though don't let that get to your head, it's more like a black mark on the history pages. Nothing to gloat at." I stated cockily back.

He only smiled at me, "I thought we all knew I was a murdering bastard?" he smiled and actually laughed. In the midst of a war he was LAUGHING! "Tell me something…" I near asked as the guns were still only pointing, the rest of the war still going on behind us. Before I could ask my question, I could I heard Rei shouting something loud enough to be barely heard over the ruckus of the gun fighting.

I saw Yamamoro's face show complete disinterest in whatever Rei was trying to voice. Problem was she had to repeat it for him to hear her and her words threw everyone into a tailspin. Lycan's were stunned as were the vampires around them. The gun fire seemed to almost stop as her words were registering to everyone ears. My own head craned to see her with wide eyes as I looked back at Yamamoro as her words finally registered.

"Yamamoro! You want your daughter back?" I saw the look of rage that crossed the man's eyes and it was nothing short of cataclysmic. Remember the nightmare bit in mentioned earlier…this was it. That terrifying fear from childhood that roots you to one spot and feel like that child from so long ago. Thankfully though I wasn't close to this as some were so I was actually wondered what Rei had up her sleeve.

Because the way I saw it, how Rei described it was like she held the most precious thing to him…in the palm of her hand. I felt my world spin just a little bit at recalling the weird body part matted with hair in her hand from earlier. "You have a daughter…?" I asked clearly stumped. How the hell did THAT of all things fly past us?! I wasn't sure who to blame for not knowing this and right now wasn't really a good time to try and figure that out. "If you value your life you'll give her back to me." He said deadly calm.

I knew she couldn't see it especially with everything going on but Yamamoro looked ready to decimate all of us. I used the momentary shift of attention to her to give myself some breathing room from them, most notably from Yamamoro. Not that I wouldn't take him on but that I wanted to do so without a dozen Lycan's surrounding us. I needed a bit more movement to get away and free of imminent death, then I'll take him on.

But this right now was a bad move to make. Yes I was close but there was room for fault and therefore room for failure. I only had one chance to kill him so I did what I knew would be best for the situation. Lure him away from his Lycan comrades and getting him into more neutral grounds. Preferably away from everyone else. Besides I had to stop Rei from potentially setting off a series of events that couldn't be undone.

I mean I was still wrapping my head around the fact that he had a daughter. Seriously? How the hell did we not know? I went to go shout 'Rei don't!' when she tossed as hard and as far to get it over to us the head of what I presumed was the remains of his daughter. He bent down to pick it up and all I could hear was Damon's, "Knock him out so I can kill him!" order through the com's but I stood rooted to my spot.

This would be the calm before the storm. He picked it up and took a few deep breathes in seeing the head of his daughter. He looked around as if looking for someone…our elder. Then he looked to Rei, "For someone to so arrogantly and staggeringly stupid to kill my only child and toss her head to me like a worthless piece of flesh is cofounding…" he then looked to me, "And here I thought you might have been that vampires kin as you sounded like him so but that…" he looked back up at Rei.

Before I could say anything Rei said, "I'm not kin to our elder but I am a faithful and loyal servant of his. He's truly a man to be proud to work with." Yamamoro scoffed, "He's a coward, one that's not even here. Not even for his own fight." I just instinctively knew our elder would be wanting to reveal himself now. It was still a bad move to make so I instead acted first as one of the Lycan's around me got to close.

I could tell they wanted to push me towards the light that was shining through but I wasn't going down that easily. I shot the nearest one twice in the chest before using his body as a shield as Yamamoro backed away between them, his daughters head in his hands still. I jumped up and spun the Lycan between my legs till he fell over and shot him in the head before shooting two others that had wasted their prior ammo on shooting my shield.

The other two that shot at me did hit me in the back a few times but thanks to the sword I had around my back they actually shot the sword instead allowing me to grab two knives and shove them both into the throats respectively killing them both on contact. The blades long enough to severe the spinal cord. I lost sight of Yamamoro and saw Mamoru and Rei shooting the Lycan's and barely gain any ground.

Looks like we'd have to use Diamond after all. We just had to get him to that bloodlust state and out of the 'freak out' stage. It got to the point during the fighting that Mamoru got tired of being back behind the posts around and wanted to get closer to the action. He began walking down the stairs every few steps and shooting from a semi he must have picked up along the way as he came down taking fire as he did.

The bullets hitting the Kevlar vest with their impacts but Mamoru didn't look close to slowing down. I started firing to get back up and away as the mini cannon machines were done. The grenades having done their job well. That is until a blood curdling scream that came out of ones nightmares echoed throughout the estate. Something told me I already knew who it belonged to and it wasn't one of ours.

Yamamoro came back into sight as he looked at Mamoru. That's when I realized he had been standing next to Rei when she presented his daughters head. The lead Lycan must have presumed Mamoru had a role in his daughter's death as well and who knows maybe he did but it didn't make him bad for it…however the look of absolute fury rose within him. As if he were staring at the one thing that would make him momentarily feel better…killing Mamoru. My heart pounded in my chest at the thought of him dead. I couldn't let that happen.

"Kill him!" he shouted as a flurry of bullets headed for Mamoru. He could only handle so much though. Just like any other vampire even he could only take so much of a beating. The bullets would be tearing through that Kevlar of his soon enough. They may have been reinforced but taking on to many bullets to count was enough for any vest to begin to crumble under the pressure. Yamamoro grabbed a gun at this point himself and started to shoot at Mamoru whom took the advantage and began to shoot back at him.

Both took on impacting bullets as the other Lycan's and vampires still fought with each other, blood being splattered every which way and death encompassing us at each turn. So when I had a Lycan try to kill me with an empty gun I grabbed it and slammed it into her head before spinning her neck till it snapped from the force exerted. It wasn't till a Lycan came at me from behind getting a good grip that I heard a roar sound out before the Lycan behind me was on the ground, I was released and Mamoru stood over him.

He looked raging mad. His eyes light up and suddenly I felt like I was in the midst of a wild animal. Then we both saw Yamamoro come up to us. Having tossed the now empty gun away he roared himself pushing all the ammo from his body. The display was a bit awing as only older more power vampires and Lycan's could do so. I hadn't even seen Damon do it so this was new and a bit scary.

So when Mamoru let out another roar, making sure to stand in front of me, like a guard dog, not like I needed it but whatever, that was equal with the rage part was able to push the metal fragments from the bullets in his vest to pop out to. the fragments must have begun to penetrate his torso for him to be able to push it out like that and even through the Kevlar to. I saw Yamamoro look at him oddly…like he was seeing an actual opponent now.

This definitely threw me. I had heard of tales that on rare occasions where if the rage was strong enough, new vampires that were barely a hundred years old could channel it to do what Mamoru did…and so new to the game to. He must have been that pissed off. I was pissed to but – that's when it hit me. I had hundreds of years to channel and push bullets out like that without exerting my own energy to much.

The older you got the stronger you got and the easier it became to be a vampire cause the control over things became easier and stronger as time went on. Mamoru was going off of pure rage to do what he did, though I understood he was pissed off, but the problem with that was that the rage that was within him, without energy for it, the rage dies out more quickly and the energy dies with it. I knew he had exerted to much energy to do that.

However it gained Yamamoro's amusement as in the midst of it quirked a smile, "You think you can take me on?" he asked. Wondering if he was really a threat to him or not now. Mamoru's eyes were light up and his fangs were out. A clear display of 'back the fuck off' that I knew Yamamoro wouldn't heed. He may have wanted him dead a moment ago but seeing Mamoru come to my aid, not that I needed it, like that had to spark some curiosity. Hopefully it would quell things and we could find a way to out maneuver this whole thing.

What I did see coming from my angle that I knew Mamoru couldn't was the knife hidden away on Yamamoro that he was pulling out. No doubt he would be going for the throat. At least that's what his hand positioning told me as he began to reach for it. Mamoru seemed to sense this to but his anger had clouded his mind. He took a shot and went for his own knife. Then both he and Yamamoro pulled their blades out in full view no longer carrying abut concealing it from the other, only about making it to its target.

My heart pumped again as without a thought I reacted. I blurred from my positioning, taking the knife into my shoulder, I barely paused for it as I continued to blur away, spinning out from around both. I kept going knowing that Yamamoro was stronger and faster than me. I had to keep ahead of him and push myself past the limits of how fast I actually could go, risking over exertion to avoid possible death.

I used the same blade to swipe at the necks of every Lycan within range of us. Anyone of them that turned their weapons on me I took the chance to kill them first. I could hear in the briefest of moments that we were running low on ammo. The faintest hearing over the com's of 'I'm out' and 'switch to hand to hand combat' was used a lot making me all the more determined to do whatever it took to secure our future today.

My movements were fast but calculated. My motions so fast that I could feel my heart pumping its loudest ever. I could feel each of them as I sliced their necks open with my blade as I had the handle in my hand having the blade face backwards. Perfect for striking at it like a near punch giving it the force necessary to eliminate them…making sure the force I took to make sure that in the few seconds time I gave to each Lycan would be enough to severe through their throats and kill them all.

When I was done I was breathing heavily and stood up as my last Lycan kill fell to the ground. I turned back and found them all dead on the ground, the few shots some managed to get off took out some of their comrades in the process. Blood now coated the first floor along with ashes of our fallen. It sort of had this eerie weird perfect mix of both ours and their fallen. Ashes and blood…its what we were in the end.

The body count was six on that note. I looked forward as I found another Lycan coming at me. I saw how futile his movements were and concluded that he was a newbie that didn't know much better. I grabbed him, spun him around and stabbed at his jugular deep enough to severe the cords and threw that knife once pulled out into another that came up behind us before grabbing the gun off the Lycan I just stabbed to death and shot the other only to find myself surrounded once more, "I guess I am mistaken after all…"

I had been ready to shoot but once Yamamoro spoke his soldiers stopped. For just a few brief moments there was no shooting heard and everyone was so shocked that there was silence that nobody did anything. I went to take my shoot at them when I found the gun was out of ammo. Stupid Lycan didn't even know he was nearly out of bullets. I lowered the weapon as it was useless other than as an object to hit with.

"YOU must be his kin…to have the predatory skills you possess…" I looked up at him and saw this tinge of pleasure at seeing me. "Not a direct descendant but around here were all family. And we actually know what that means." I stated strongly. I stood as proud as possible in the middle of the kill zone. Yamamoro looked at me then up where Damon was on the steps as it seemed he was venturing downwards to see how much further room we could gain when I made that move.

"Though I thought that he only had a son…I guess he must have found love again to have had such a brazen, intelligent, young spirited daughter…" Was he actually complimenting me? I quirked a brow at him until he pulled up his daughter's head, "So for the sacrifice of my daughter…I will kill you instead." I felt much weary now than before and looked for Mamoru. He was still standing where he had been but looked weary as well.

"You'd be wasting your time…" Damon came around, barely lowering his own weapons, "I'm his ONLY child…his son." He stated it so proudly I knew it was a mistake. Plus I had the strangest feelings he said it due to his issues with what would happen when his father left. Who would be in charge, and not because he cared for my wellbeing. At least not these days. Then I saw the look on Yamamoro's face.

Opportunity. I looked over at Damon's confident yet cocky and angered demeanor. "Then I will end his only child's life before I exterminate the rest of you." He said as he turned his attention to Damon. I watch as Damon opened fire on the Lycan's and took out many of them but they just kept coming. Even Damon's skills as a fighter were being put to the test as more kept coming at us. We needed Diamond and now.

I made my move to go upstairs to where Diamond was and get his ass into gear when I was pulled back in by Yamamoro himself, "Honestly I don't believe him…those moves of yours, your fighting style…only the elder himself would have taught them to those who would be the most precious to him. To those he saw as his most loyal…you are a child of his even if not buy blood…" he held my neck in his hand with ease as I struggled to get out of the grip. He looked at me dead in the eyes as I gasped for breath.

Gun fire going out around us all as I tried to find something around that I could use to help me get out of the death grip I was in. His hand strong and firm around my neck as his grip tightened ever so gently around it. The look in his eyes like he was taking away my life little by little and enjoying the slow kill. I had to face it, Yamamoro was simply to strong for me alone to deal with in hand to hand combat.

He had several more hundreds of years over me…it was like trying to fight our elder…for a vampire of my strength it was impossible to kill with only my strength…so I would fight with my skills instead of trying to remove him with brute force as I had been trying to. My booted feet had been lifted form the floor seconds ago which put more strain into my breathing and my grip to get loose. "Such a shame you weren't turned by one of my own…you would have made me a fine daughter." I looked at him like he was crazy.

Plus to be honest who I am and how I am was more due to my upbringing BEFORE I got here and what happened afterwards was due to Damon's father. Our elder…that man was another father to me and I would do whatever it took to protect him, not just as a 'cleaner' but as a daughter as well. And knowing he was here and needed to remain silent and hidden to ensure the legend and legacy stayed safe, at least with him, made me all the more determined to get freed and kill Yamamoro.

Then as if that wasn't enough, just before my eyes closed from the pressure on my neck I saw Mamoru. Pitted against to many Lycan's for him to handle and feeling his panic at feeling way out of his league. To many. To many…it reverberated in my head till I felt the sword Yamamoro had given me touched my bare skin. that's when the words on the sword came back and I felt the adrenaline come in.

The dizziness I felt that started to take over form his grip was clearing up at the adrenaline running through me now. My own rage kicking in just as Mamoru's had, giving me the strength to swing my legs up and wrapped them around Yamamoro's arm that gripped onto me enabling me to get a little bit of room for breath. Those few seconds was like my very life being brought back into existence.

I dropped my one leg down and swung it back before swinging forward again kicking Yamamoro in the face and breaking his hold completely enabling me to flip up and over out of his reach. He stumbling back a bit. Clearly stunned that I had gotten the one up on him. And looked at me with pure rage within him, "Your daughter was bound for death the moment you went us against us. Just like the rest of you fuckers here!" I spat at him.

He looked absolutely livid as his eyes turned yellow. His fangs beginning to come out as he turned around and let out a sizmic roar that made every Lycan stop what they were doing before unanimous roars could be heard all around and suddenly every FUCKING Lycan all over the damned place began transforming. This was to much for us. There was still to many of them and we were still out numbered.

Our vampires still shot at them and managed to get some of the giant beasts off of the second floor where some had managed to get but with their more primitive forms in place, though making them stronger, it also makes them more vulnerable. Several vampires were able to shoot them from the second floor making them crash into other on the first floor. The railing for the stairwells broke off in those areas.

Creating smoke and rubble all over as the bodies fell. Their bodies having at least one bullet each being shot into their heads…just to be sure. "Run!" I shouted to Mamoru. I ducked and dodged out of the way as did Mamoru. For a moment he tried to follow my path now but he was to far away and so instead he held no choice but to take cover under the stairwell as other vampires had as well.

"I'm covered but you have one near you!" he shouted through the com's. That's when I heard another roar behind me. I looked back in time to see a claw coming at me. I could feel the adrenaline kick in again as I gasped and ducked my head backwards, yes backwards, as the claw missed me by mere strands of hair. In fact had their claws been razor sharp I was confident that they would have sliced through my hair on impact.

That's how close this bloody thing got from tearing my head off. Mamoru had saved my life when otherwise anyone else might have tried to ignore him…but I could never ignore him. Not like this…not ever. I remembered I still had a few knives on my person, hidden away yet in easy to grab places. A girl couldn't be to cautious these days and I was a cautious one. especially in my world.

Then knowing there was a wall I was coming up to I slashed behind me with another hidden knife grabbed from my back, injuring it if only for a short time. I heard the Lycan yelp as the blade hit his stomach. It wouldn't be enough to take him down but it would be enough to slow him down for what I had planned next. As I slammed my boot into the wall and vaulted myself up and over the Lycan.

It looked a little shocked but as I came down I saw that it wasn't Yamamoro but someone else as I grabbed the sword from behind me and sliced it with a yelp of anger before I landed on his remains, bloodied and grotesque. The sword having sliced right through the Lycan's body in a matter of moments. That and the force of my swing probably did it. That's when I saw Yamamoro looking at me with curious eyes. That curiosity morphed into recognition. That recognition morphed into determination.

"I see you hold the sword of the elders…" he motioned as everyone else was still fighting. I could hear faint yells through the com's and Mamoru trying to get me into sight but I was blocked and so was he. My heart pounded even harder than before, "It was a gift for this event..." I began. Then I chuckled, "Or perhaps more like a loan…that is until I cancel your ass out." He looked at me strangely.

"A loaner? Cancel my ass? Ahhh you young ones…you and your lingo…" he laughed it away, "Does it look like I'm joking?" I asked deadly serious. His smile fell as he narrowed his eyes at me, "Do you really think that you can defy me and all of this?" he demanded of me. showing around what all he had and what all we had. "You and your kind are a dying breed. A waste of space." He began.

I held my tongue, "You sure your not talking about yourself…?" his fangs lengthened, "Cause I'm pretty sure that if one had to grab junkie crackheads off the street to gain a following enough to outnumber some vamps, I don't know but that sounds pretty fucking pathetic to me." did his eyes flash crimson? Was that an elder Lycan trick? "You know nothing of who I am or what I am capable of." He remarked.

"Funny I was going to say the same thing…" I countered, "Thing is you think your going to win this war…you actually believe that your attack dogs were going to take down centuries worth of vampires in one night…" I shook my head as if talking to a moron, "Your more pathetic than your dogs." He growled. "I have ripped the lives from countless people and vampires over the years." He smirked.

"I slayed a vampire elder and ripped her unborn youth from her womb…" he held out his hand…perhaps the hand that he used and it just put the visual there. Sickening. I avoided looking away. As much as his actions disgusted and terrified me I knew if I watched it, I would only grow stronger with my anger, therefore more to channel when I killed him. "Trust me you have no idea who your dealing with." his way of warning me. "And here I was thinking the same…" he looked up at me.

"I've been through hell and back…I've killed more Lycan's than I will ever care to count. I've butchered them and given them a silent way out…I've done many horrible things that I wonder how I'm still breathing some times." I began. "But in the end…in the end…" I looked at him and shipped the sword down. showing the blood trails it left behind. "I'm still here and I'm still going to kick your ass till all that's left is blood…" I looked at him in such a way that he knew I would kill him.

"I've heard of what you've done…in graphic detail and at the end of the day your nothing more than another monster that needs to be killed…evil may never truly die but neither does the good in people." I was surprised he was still hearing me out but perhaps it was because I amused him or something…either way I had his whole focus on me. however as I noticed for a mere second his mini army that he came in here with were blocking any bullets from getting to him while his back was turned.

"No one I perfect but the monsters of this world do not deserve to live…" he knew I was referring to him. His nails began to lengthen. He was preparing to attack me head on and I only had one chance at this. One opportunity. There was no one else left to get in my way now. "You have well-earned your fate tonight Yamamoro…and I will be happy to be the one who delivers it to you." I told him as I raised the sword.
