Blood, stained the cobbled streets as the humans advanced, killing off any vampire and or werewolf left alive. They had succeeded in killing all who had fought them that night. All but one.
Charles lead his brigade through the deceased bodies killing off anything breathing. He hated doing it but those were his orders and unless he wanted to be taken from his position as brigade leader. As him and his brigade turned the corner he noticed a shadowy figure crouched in an opening of an alley.
“Men up ahead, do not shoot but be on your guard,” he cried.
As he approached he got a better view of what sat there in the alley. It was a woman of incredible beauty but she was shot up pretty bad and on her way to death’s door.
“Miss we’re gunna help you out just give me your name Hun.”
The woman looked up, her eyes a cobalt eyes changing to blue in a matter of seconds, but the pain in them never went away. She might have been a vampire but she needed help. Slowly he approached her with his weapons pointed at the ground.
“my…..name…is…………Cassie.”
As he took her hand in his hands, his entire team came up with a stretcher and loaded her upon it being careful not to harm her. As they were about to place her in the ambulance the army leader appeared out of no where, anger in his eyes.
“BOY! Is that a vampire you’re loading into the ambulance?” he growled.
Instead of cowering like most did Charles stared right into the man’s eyes. He didn’t care whether he had all the power in the human world no one truly had the power over him.
“yes sir it is a vampire and she’s badly hurt,” he growled in return.
His men secured her in the ambulance and stood there waiting for more orders. They were all good men and would do anything he ordered them to even if it was against their orders. As they stood there looking at him they seemed afraid but what really scared them was their commanders laughter. It wasn’t the gentle belly rolling laughter, it was more like the evil kind. One that would kill any living thing in but a second.
“boy that’s what we want or didn’t you understand your orders?”
Charles tightened his grip on the holster of his gun as he glared up at his “leader” once again. he had understood the orders perfectly clear but he didn’t want to waste a beauty such as that.
“sir yes sir, I understood the orders clearly sir but she can tell us everything about anything sir.”
He glared up into the man’s anger filled eyes waiting for his words to take affect, but at the moment it wasn’t.
“hmmmmm…you have a point there son, load her up and once she’s healed take her to a holding cell.”
Relief washed over his entire body as he saluted and jumped into the back of the ambulance where Cassie lay, her pale skin illuminated by the lights.
“Sir, you sure she wont jump up and bleed us dry?”
Charles turned his head to look upon the youngest member of his brigade, noticing fear in his eyes. He’d only been there for a month and was lucky to have survived the war. No it wasn’t a matter of luck, it was a matter of chance.
“Kid if she was going to jump up and bleed us all dry she would have done it by now, and please look carefully she’s out cold…..you can tell by how she’s breathing,” Charles stated.
The lass was out cold but she still held the beauty worthy of a queen….beauty worthy of a goddess. Was a pity she had been born a vampire for some man would have loved her had she been born human. But if she lived there was no telling whether the future held imprisonment or death for her. Knowing the army commander it would be imprisonment, he loved to watch his victims suffer.
