Kobol, a day later, 0900 hours.
Dawn felt good being out of the Kull armour that she had been wearing on Furling Earth as she stood in the Gateroom with Satterfield, Grogan, Lewis, and Colonel Ferretti. She was in the green SGC BDU's, along with her team, while a P90 was clipped to her vest and a Zat by her side. She was talking to her teammates when they heard footsteps from behind as SG-13, led by Colonel Dixon, walked in. Dawn smiled at Jon who was behind the Colonel, and walking in with Hailey, and the rest of his team.
"Hey," said Dawn as she brushed a stray hair behind her ear while smiling at the young man, "so, we finally go on a mission together."
"Uh huh," chuckled Jon while Hailey leaned in, and whispered that the both of them weren't going to be in the same team. It was something that made Dawn look at Hailey in mock horror before asking jokingly if they really thought that she and Jon wouldn't be able to keep their hands off each other.
"Yes," whispered Grogan, Lewis, and Satterfield as Dawn blushed while Jon couldn't help but grin at Dawn, who stuck her tongue out at the young man. It was just then that Colonel Dixon whistled while standing next to Colonel Ferretti at the top of the ramp. The two teams turned and faced their leaders, who started a quick briefing with General Landry, who Dawn noticed, was standing in the Control Room.
"This is just a reminder," said Colonel Dixon, "we'll be breaking up the teams once we get to New Kobol, from there we take the Colonials to the buffer planet where we meet up with the Cylons, and from there we divide into groups of four. We'll lead those groups to the preselected areas form the maps that the Colonials have shared with us, any questions?"
"No, sir," said the group together.
"We'll be using the subspace radio's to keep in contact," said Colonel Ferretti as he looked at the group at the foot of the ramp, "according to the Colonials, we only have to worry about Cylon patrols on Kobol. But so far, the teams that have already begun their exploration hasn't had any contact with the Cylons; the humanoid models or the Centurions, on Kobol. But that could just mean they've gone to another part of the planet, in either case… be careful. Watch each other's backs… understood?"
"Yes, sir," yelled the group together.
"Good," mumbled Colonel Ferretti before looking up at the General, and nodding his head.
"Dial the gate, Walter," ordered General Landry as Colonel Ferretti and Dixon walked down the ramp while the Stargate started to dial. It was a few seconds later that the wormhole activated, and the two Colonel's led the group out through the Stargate. Once they had walked through, and the device had been deactivated, the General ordered that a connection to Eden be made. He wanted a report on any progress based on the information that was given to the Cylon High Council bu Alana, information which was then handed over to the Erath personnel.
Frightening information on the Rogue Cylons learning about naquada and upgrading their nuclear weapons with the mineral. He had already been told about the destruction of another world, it was something that Alana described but the SGC had received no news about it from their allies. IN either case, the Prometheus station was on high alert in the event that the Colony happened to find its way to Earth.
Once the Stargate had been connected to Eden, he looked up at the screens above him as Dr. Gardner and Colonel William Peterson, the new base commander's face appeared.
"Dr. Gardner, Colonel Peterson," said the General, "report."
"Alana's been telling us a lot about the leader models of the rogue faction, General," said Dr. Gardner, "the Cavil models are going for an all-out campaign of destruction against any human worlds."
"But given their discovery of naquada," said the Colonel who stepped in, "they believe, and we agree, sir, that the Colony will be seeking to enslave humans who have knowledge of refining naquada. They'll be going after more worlds, sir."
"Do we have any information on their jump drives? Any way to track them?" asked General Landry who frowned when the Colonel and Dr. Gardner shook their heads.
"What we know, sir," said the Colonel, "the rogue Cylons' first target would be planets rich with naquada."
"I'll notify our allies to beef up their planetary defences on worlds that have naquada refineries," said General Landry, "I hate to say this, but the only hope we have of beating the Colony is if they happen upon an Asgard protected planet. If they attack, then the Asgard would definitely retaliate immediately."
"Let's hope we are that lucky, General," said Dr. Gardner.
"Yes," sighed the General, "I've spoken to Homeworld, and they've authorized installation of Jaffa staff cannons on the Cylon base stars. We'll be talking to the Jaffa Council on helping the Cylons with installing the weapons."
"The first batch of railguns have already been installed, sir," said the Colonel, "we're on schedule to have five of the Basestars armed within the next six months. Their technology seems to be slightly advanced over the Colonials, which will make it easier to install the weapons, and the shield emitters."
"Understood, Colonel, Dr. Gardner," said the General nodding his head, "Landry, out."
The screens blinked out as the General sighed. He then turned and walked up the stairs back to his office, hoping that the Cylons could be stopped from attacking refinery worlds. In addition, he was worried about the reports he was getting from Ori controlled worlds as well.
'The storm is coming,' that's what the recon team claimed they heard from the Priors, 'the storm of light that would sweep the land of evil is coming.'
City of the Gods, Kobol, 1500 hours.
It had been nearly two days since Tessa had her fight with the turned Elosha when she suddenly opened her eyes, and gasped at the hard ground. She felt extremely weak while reaching, very slowly, for her neck. She brushed her fingers over the two dried up bite marks before she turned to her side. She heard something crunch beneath her, and on looking down at the grass, she saw that she was surrounded by brown leaves. Shaking her head, Tessa slowly tried to get up… but she immediately lay down on her side.
She saw that everything around her was turning upside down before she closed her eyes again. Tessa took in several deeper breathes before opening her eyes once again, and slowly pushed herself using her elbow. But her dizziness came back and she fell onto her stomach. Closing her eyes again before giving off a sob at how helpless she felt, Tessa quickly controlled herself and looked up while gritting her teeth. She looked over her shoulder at the way she came to this location before she pulled herself around by crawling on the hard ground.
That was the only way that she could move without feeling dizzy. Tessa crawled on her stomach for, what seemed to her, a nightmarishly long time as her elbows ground against the dirt, grass, and various undergrowth while crawling towards the small river she had swam across. Tessa had no clue about how long it had been since she passed out, all she knew was that she wanted to head back to what was her home, and rest.
'Just want to close my eyes and rest,' thought Tessa as she stopped and closed her eyes shut while hanging her head down. She was feeling exhausted as she shook her head from side to side before continuing her crawl towards the river. As the ray of the sun shone through the trees, Tessa continued to get closer while she crawled hurriedly.
And finally, after nearly thirty minutes of crawling in what had originally been a two-minute run into the forest to escape Elosha, Tessa reached the edge of the tree line. She crawled to a tree, and then used her strength to pull her leg forward while she held on to the tree trunk. Tessa pushed herself while her legs were trembling, at the same time she used her arms to pull herself up against the tree trunk. Once she stood up while keeping her trembling legs apart for balance, Tessa saw movement on the other side of the river among the ruins.
She searched with her eyes, but she thought she was being deceived. Tessa watched the people moving among the ruins and could have sworn she saw a Number Eight, along with a Number Six and a few people she didn't recognize.
'Colonials?" she thought to herself as the Cylon and the two she thought were Colonials passed each other without giving the other a glance, or a hello. It was as if they were just working alongside one another, but among their own people. And then Tessa noticed another man, this one she didn't recognize as well. Her eyes tried to focus on the symbol of a small circle at the top of a triangle while wondering who he was since she didn't recognize the symbol as being part of any of the Colonial military. Then there was the weapon clipped to the vest that he was wearing, and the weapon on his hips; to Tessa it looked like he was guarding the four people that were examining the ruins.
However, there wasn't any doubt on what Tessa wanted to do. Colonial or Cylon, she just wanted to get off the planet.
"Help…" she wheezed, her throat dry from dehydration. She pushed herself off the tree trunk, and stumbled forward. He hands pushing her off the ground while her legs continued to run. She saw the man turn towards her as she screamed 'help' in Ancient Greek. She saw the man, and the others, particularly the Number Eight looked back at her in surprise before. Tessa ran onto the bank, where she tripped and fell into the water.
And then things went black.
Kobol, Team Four primary camp, near the City of the Gods, 1900 hours.
Ever since meeting the Earthers on New Kobol, Starbuck believed that they showed too much compassion towards the Cylons. From the talk about the machines being a nearly extinct race, to encouraging both groups to try and work together on this expedition… she believed that the Earthers were being too naïve and gullible. But then again, another part of Starbuck would tell her that the Earthers had no idea of what it was like losing twelve planets, losing billions of lives in a single night; that they had the right to be naïve since they hadn't experienced that loss.
Once part of her hoped that they would one day experience that loss; and the other part of her was trying to hold the other part from saying that out loud.
As she looked at the mysterious Number Eight who ran towards Major Neely a few hours ago, Starbuck could hardly believe that this piece of weakened machinery was one of the creature that launched an attack on the Colonies... and now not only were the Earthers caring for her, but they were curious to know what happened to her as well. Starbuck could see, as she sat in front of her ten eating a protein bar, that the Cylon laying on front of the fire and guarded by one of her sister models who was occasionally glancing in Starbuck's direction with a look that said 'stay away, or else'.
But all Starbuck could do was smirk at the Cylon; showing her contempt for the machines that were around them. She looked around and saw some of them resting, while one of them was talking to the translator. She then looked at her fellow Colonials and noticed that many of them were doing the same thing as well while the rest of the Earthers were gathered in one corner and whispering among themselves.
Sighing, the then noticed out of the corner of her eye that the Number Eight who was guarding the one who was lying on the ground making movements and calling out for help. Starbuck turned her head to see the machine on the ground stirring before she started to scream out loud while her eyes were still closed. Narrowing her eyes at the look of terror on the still sleeping Number Eight's face, Starbuck stood up as the guardian Number Eight held her sister's should and gently told her that she was going to be safe, that she was among friends.
"Yea, friends," Starbuck sarcastically whispered as Major Neely, as well as the translator approached the two Number Eights while telling the others to stand by and not crowd the both of them. Starbuck slowly got up and told the other Colonials to stay back before she headed towards the screaming woman.
"Easy, Easy, sister," said the Number Eight as Tessa continued to scream while her eyes were still closed. And the only thing that the Number Eight could think of what that her sister model was having a terrible nightmare. Frowning while holding onto the struggling woman, the Number Eight tried to gently get her to awaken, "my name is Sasha, you're safe. You're safe. What's your name?"
Tessa continued scream while she struggled with her eyes closed. She thought that Elosha was still coming after her.. she thought that the blood demon was holding her down, and then biting into her neck. She could feel herself being drained off her blood while hearing someone saying 'sister, sister, wake up' in the distance.
"Get away, please… I'm sorry," screamed Tessa as Sasha looked up at the others in confusion, "please…. No.. don't drink my… help… help!. Help me!"
"Sister!" screamed Sasha as Tessa snapped open her eyes and stared at Sasha. Tessa was panting as she then looked at herself being surrounded by concerned looks, and then she turned back towards Sasha who gently spoke up, "sister, you're safe. You had a nightmare and…"
Tessa quickly sat up and started to sob after hugging her sister model as the other Colonials and Cylons walked closer towards the both of them. Sasha held on tightly to Tessa while Major Neely took outs his canteen of water and handed it to the Cylon.
"Drink," urged Sasha after taking the canteen from the Major, nodding at him as she did so. She then whispered into Tessa' ear while she unscrewed the top before she stroked the hair of the sobbing woman, "you need your strength and then…"
"Ship… ship…" repeated Tessa as she struggled for breath while resting her chin on Sasha' shoulder while tears flowed down her face.
"She's asking about a ship, sir," said the translator as Major Neely nodded his head.
"We don't have a ship, Miss…." Said Major Neely, as his words were being translated.
"Leave.. must.. must leave… demons… blood demons…" rasped Tessa as she interrupted the Major, who was on her left side, while sobbing on Sasha's shoulders, "please… have to… leave."
"Oh please," scoffed Starbuck, rolling her eyes upwards, "blood demons? Do you think that we're stupid.. and yes, I mean the Cylons too."
"Blood Demons?" asked Major Neely after what Tessa and Starbuck were talking about was translated, "blood demons?"
"A… a Colonial priestess became a… a blood demon.. and attacked me," said Tessa as she slowly calmed down and pulled back from Sasha's shoulder, and looked into her eyes before taking a sip of the water from Major Neely's canteen, with her hands shaking while she brought the canteen up to her lips, "I… she… she tried to kill me and.."
"What do you mean Colonial Priestess?" demanded Starbuck as she crouched down next to Tessa, who looked at her, and then at the other Colonials, and then back to the blonde officer to her left.
"You… you're Colonial?" asked Tessa as Starbuck frowned, before demanding an answer to her previous question.
"Take it easy, Starbuck!" yelled Sasha as the other Cylons, Colonials, and Earth officers gathered around, "can't you see she's terrified?"
Shaking her head at Starbuck, Sasha then turned to Tessa once again and told her that things had changed. That a new enemy had emerged, and that they had powerful weapons that have placed the Cylons on the verge of extinction. Tessa opened her eyed wide in surprise at that revelation, and then at the revelations that the men in uniform surrounding them were from Earth.. and that they were helping both the Colonials and Cylons settle down onto their new home worlds.
Nodding her head, Tessa calmed down even more as she let go of Sasha, and nodded her head as she was handed a brown coloured bar from one of the Cylons. Biting into it, she tasted chocolate and a few other ingredients that she didn't recognize, but Tessa didn't care as she scarfed it down, and then took another sip of water.
Her breathing slowly easing to normal, Tessa looked at the people that Sasha claimed to be from Earth; and she couldn't believe it. She had thought, just like the other Cylons and Colonials, that Earth was a myth. But apparently here, standing around her, were the people from a mythical planet helping both Colonial and Cylon settle down. She had so many questions, and was about to ask something when Starbuck pre-empted her, and demanded to know what she meant by a Colonial Priestess.
"She.. she said her name was Elosha," said Tessa as Starbuck's eyes opened wide in surprise. She shook her head before telling the Cylon woman, in no uncertain terms, that Elosha died from a Cylon planted mine.
"I was there when she died," hissed Starbuck as she leaned forward while Sasha gently pushed Starbuck back. The Colonel officer then grabbed Sasha's arm and jerked it away, "don't you fracking touch me."
"Calm down," said another Cylon, a Number Three who was glaring at Starbuck.
"Why you…" said Starbuck as she reached for her sidearm, which was when Major Neely intervened and told the blonde Colonial officer to stand down. Starbuck looked at the man, and then at the translator who was nodding his head, and then at Major Neely once again. Shaking her head, Starbuck stood up and raised her hands before she started to back-off, "you're crazy… being here by yourself has made you insane and…"
"She was dead!" yelled Tessa as Starbuck locked her jaw, "please.. she was dead. But she.. she was a demon. She.. Oh God… There were hundreds of demons and.. and… and they killed my entire group. They destroyed the centurions… they killed the others of my models and.. and my brothers and sisters. We have to leave and…."
"You're talking about a television show!" screamed Starbuck, "you dare to insult the memory of a woman who did no harm.. a woman your people killed."
"She nearly killed me!" screamed Tessa as she turned her head and pointed at the dried up fang marks on her neck, "look! Look! She drank my blood.. she… she and the others murdered the humanoid models and drank their blood dry. I.. I barely survived my brush with her and… and I had no choice but to push a wooden branch through her dead heart and she turned to dust."
"That's impossible!" yelled Starbuck while the other Colonials and Cylons started to mumble among themselves at what Tessa had just said.
"Everyone, calm down!" yelled Major Neely as Starbuck screamed in frustration before telling the man that Tessa's story was the most ridiculous thing that she had ever heard. Major Neely raised his hand towards Starbuck, asking her to calm down, that there had to be a logical explanation for all of this. He then turned to Tessa and asked her gently if what she saw wasn't merely just animals, "you've been here for a long time, am I right?"
"Yes, but…." Said Tessa after the Major's words were translated by Captain Weiss, "I mean… I know what I saw. They were animals.. they were demons on human form. Elosha had fangs, yellow eyes, and… and these ridges. She was extremely strong.. stronger than me… stronger than a Centurion."
"How is that possible?" asked Sasha.
"They ripped everyone apart," said Tessa as her face twisted in anguish. She quickly controlled herself as she told them about the Centurion that had protected her, and then sacrificed itself by deactivating and then letting her take it's vials of lubricant away. She said that Elosha already had her scent, and she knew what she was… so she just followed the lubricant's smell and followed her to the raptor, "she.. she couldn't come in. She couldn't come into the raptor since she said I made it my home and… she couldn't come in… I. was safe and.."
"That's a bunch of…" before Starbuck could finish what she wanted to say, she turned around and looked at the forest in the distance as the sounds of howls erupted. She then turned back to Tessa who was looking at the setting sun, and then at Major Neely before looking at Starbuck.
"It's evening?" cried Tessa surprised as she brought her hands to the sides of her head, "dear God they.. they found us.. they found us! We… we must get into the Raptor! Please, for al that is Holy we need to get into the Raptor!"
Major Neely continued to look at Tessa, whose terrified face was looking back at him, and then at Sasha and finally Starbuck. The Major knew that what Tessa was saying was impossible, that there were no such things as vampires. But then again, hearing the growls and screams from the forest getting closer make his blood run cold, and his hairs to stand on end. He could hear Captain Weiss telling him that the Cylon they had found begging everyone to get into the Raptor, that the creatures… whatever they were, only came out in the dark.
'If these really are just nocturnal predators,' thought Major Neely, 'then they can just make it into the ship. It's no use huddling inside where we'll be an easy target. But it's already getting dark, and the screams and growls are all coming from one side of the forest. If we leave now for the Stargate, we could make it into the forest that we had come through and use the trees as cover from these predators.'
"Sir!" shouted Captain Weiss as he raised his weapon towards the direction of the forest. The Major turned around to see people running towards them while Captain Weiss asking what they should do. Major Neely could hear Tessa screaming while she was begging for everyone to get into the Raptor… something that Captain Weiss who was standing next to him had translated. Major Neely, Captain Weiss, and Captain Roberts raised their weapons when they heard the people coming towards them growl. The Major's eyes opened wide when he saw their yellow eyes and though about what Tessa had told them.
"By the gods," said Starbuck as more people, all of them naked, started to run out of the forest. She raised her weapon and could make only twenty coming towards her, 'no…. forty, fifty… by the gods.. they…."
"Fire!" yelled the Major as he fired his rifle, while screaming at the others to run. Captain Weiss translated for the benefit of the Colonials and the Cylons while the three SG team members walked back while the men and women coming towards them, growling in hunger, fell onto the ground. To the Major's horror, the ones who he knew were riddles with bullets, slowly got back up and were running towards them again, leading to the Major to shout, "fall back! Move it!"
The Major and the other Earthers, Cylons, and Colonials followed a terrified Tessa to the Raptor. It was the that the Major caught sight of the subspace radio near his tent. The man broke off from the main group while the Earthers and Starbuck turned and fired their weapons to keep the monsters coming towards them back.
"By the gods!" screamed Starbuck, her heart racing in fear as her ammo ran out and he threw her weapon at a few oncoming vampires. They were immediately shot down by Captain Weiss who told the Colonial officer to move it out of there. Starbuck nodded her head as she turned and ran towards the Raptor where the other Colonials and Cylons where waving to her. She heard heavy breathing behind her, and knew that the other Earthers were close behind.
So she kept on running before she jumped onto the stubby wing of the raptor and was then pulled inside by Tessa and one of the Colonials. Immediately turning around, the panting Starbuck watched the Earther cover the Major who was running with the subspace radio, that was contained within a backpack towards them. She saw that the demons were gaining on them, and closed her eyes as Weiss, Roberts, and Sergeant Wilkins were taken down. She and Sasha reached out with their hands and grabbed a hold of the Major's outstretched arms, and forcefully pulled him inside.
Everyone then jumped back from the rear entrance as the blood demons growled at them; but were prevented from going into the ship by an invisible field. Starbuck then looked around while panting as the demons fed on Weiss, Roberts, and Sergeant Wilkins, before looking at a terrified Major Neely, Sasha, and Tessa. Some of the Colonials, who were near the cockpit of the ship, screamed as Starbuck looked at the broken canopy, and the blood demons that were bouncing off it as they tried to jump in.
"This is Major Neely to… to all units," he screamed into the radio as the blood demons continued to growl, "we are under attack by… by… Oh dear God, these are vampires!"
It was the word 'vampires' that made the team of Dawn, Satterfield, and Lewis which includes three Colonials and three Cylons, two of whom were Number Eights, and one Number Two, stop in their tracks. The three of them looked at each other before Dawn reached into the pack that Satterfield was wearing which contained the subspace radio. Dawn had already heard from all the others teams, at least the Earth officers who spoke in disbelief while asking Major Neely to repeat himself. It was Colonel Ferretti who ordered everyone to remain silent, before asking for Dawn on the subspace radio.
"Colonel," acknowledged Dawn, "I'm here."
"You have the most knowledge about this so…"
"Got it," said Dawn as she nodded her head, "Major Neely… Major… where are you?"
"The.. the Cylons call it the City of the Gods," said the Major, "these are vampires and… and… how? We.. we're in a raptor and…"
"Listen to me, Major" said Dawn gently, "how are you safe?"
"They can't come inside… some.. something's holding them back," said the Major with fear in his voice.
"Good," said Dawn gently, "then the Raptor must have been designated as a home for someone… I don't know how.. but that's what's happening No matter what happens, don't let anyone.. and I mean anyone, invite the vampires in. Major.. do you understand?"
"But it's vampires!" screamed the Major as the vampire outside the raptor continued to growl while the others looked around in fear.
"Major," said Dawn as she looked at the darkening sky, and then at the worried Earthers, Colonials, and Cylons around her, "I've dealt with vampires before. They're real… demons are real… the supernatural is real. I…. I can promise you that you guys are safe in the ship. A vampire cannot come into a home if they haven't been invited, you'll be safe. Everyone else who's listening in, I need you to find someplace secure and…"
"Oh dear God!" screamed another officer through the radio as Dawn looked on terrified at Satterfield, and Grogan. They could hear screams and growls in the background as vampires ran out of the forest and overwhelmed the teams that contained Apollo, Lt. Gaeta, and Captain Kelley. Their teams were all overwhelmed as Dawn's team, Lt. Ferretti's team, and Major's Neely's team listened to terrified screams.
Starbuck put her hands over her mouth in shock when she heard Apollo screaming before it was cut off to more screams. Eventually, the lines were quiet.
No one was speaking over the radio.
"This is Colonel Ferretti," said the Colonel who was several hours away from Apollo's position by foot, "does anyone read? Hello?"
"Sir," said Major Neely whose voice was still quaking, "I… I'm here."
"Me too, Lou," said Colonel Dixon over the radio, as did Major Hailey who was stunned upon hearing the screams that came over the radio.
"Me too," said Dawn shaking her head while thinking that this was a nightmare scenario that no-one could have ever predicted. She knew about Giles' theory about the origins of the Protector TV show, but no one took it too seriously. Not the BPRI, not the SGC, and not her; all because it was farfetched that what Giles theorized could have been true.
Even Giles had said so; guessing that it was just an idea that the Colonials could have had on their own. But now… now his theory was right, they were in danger.
In the meantime, the vampires that attacked the sites had already fed on the Earthers, the Cylons, and the Colonials. One of them had seen Apollo crawling away, towards the subspace radio and leaped in front of him. Apollo looked up at the vampire, whose lips were already bloody and growled at him. The vampire looked at the radio upon hearing the voice of Colonel Ferretti. The demon snagged it away from the arms of the dead Earther, looked at it and then smashed the pack into the ground… and stepping on it for good measure. Apollo, his chest and face already slashed while the blood demons were feeding on the others, screamed when the vampire dashed towards him. He was then picked up by the throat, and then slammed back into the ground. The vampire twisted his head to one side, and then bit down into his neck. While drinking hi blood, Apollo was struggling when four more vampires bit into him; two on either arm.
It was only a few seconds later that blackness took him over, and Apollo closed his eyes. The vampires, having had their fill, then got and went on to one of the screaming Cylons while the vampire who had slammed the man into the ground, made an incision on his wrist until blood was coming out. The vampire then grabbed the back of Apollo's head, and brought his wrist towards Apollo's lips.
The vampire smiled as his blood flowed onto Apollo's lips, and then into the mouth of the Colonial officer.
Back in Dawn's location, Colonel Ferretti was heard calling for the two men at the Stargate while the others looked on in worry after Dawn translated what was going on. She asked them to hold off on any questions while the Colonel ordered the two men to contact the SGC, and send reinforcements. That they had people in danger.
But there was no answer.
Dawn's blood grew cold as she looked at Satterfield and Grogan. They heard the Colonel continue to call for the two officers who remained at the Stargate. Two officers who would never answer since they were being fed upon by vampires who had taken them by surprise. Traveling through some of the many underground tunnels beneath the surface that led out into caves, the very same caves that the vampires, who had been living on Kobol for millennia, knew like the back of their dead hands. Twenty of them had invaded the cave that contained the Stargate, through a hidden tunnel and, before the officers could send out a destress call, the vampires took them down… and fed on them.
Unknown to Colonel Ferretti, and the others, they were now surrounded.
And hell was coming for them as the vampires ran out of the cave, followed by another seventy, towards Colonel Dixon, MAjor Hailey, Dawn and Colonel Ferretti's locations.
