Chapter 44 - Much needed help [Jamie]

I looked down my scope, and pulled the trigger. I watched as Dracula's arm spurt blood. He howled, then turned his attention to me. "Oh shit." I flew upward, and began shooting rapidly, not aiming in the slightest. He jumped at me, but I was just high enough. Akumura grabbed his legs, and threw him into a wall. "I'M NOT DONE!" I recognized his voice, but someone else's as well. Dracula stood up, and looked at Akumura, "I-is it you?" Akumura growled, and launched himself at Dracula. The two vampires clashed, but Dracula looked like he wasn't trying. Bill and Naomi watched. I landed next to them, "Why aren't you doing anything?"

"Because," Bill's wings were covered in blood, "We tried, but we can't even get close to them."

I grabbed a vial labeled 'Holy Water' from my pocket. "I guess now is better than ever." I opened it and poured it on my sleeve. "What are you doing?!" Naomi's voice wasn't angry, but it still made me want to stop, "That's the only vial we have!" I rubbed a bullet on my sleeve, "I know. I'm, improving on my artillery." I rubbed more bullets, until I had an entire cartridge. I loaded them, and took to the skies.

It was much harder to keep up with them this time. Between how fast they were moving, my shaking hands, and Akumura, it was near impossible to get a good shot. I shot off a bullet, but it hit the wall. "14 left." I whispered to myself. I shot off another shot, which just barely scraped Dracula's face. "13 left." I flew back down. "I need one of you to steady him. If I can get a shot on him with one of these bullets, it might take him out." Bill looked at the brawl, "Easier said than done. If we go in there, I'm pretty sure Akumura will attack us as well." I sighed, "That doesn't matter, there's two of you, you can take him out if you need to."

Bill and Naomi ran into the fray, only to get immediately smacked away by Dracula. "Damnit." Bill and Naomi stood. Bill started moving his wings, and started rising. "What the-" He shot himself forward, with almost no difficulty. "Hell yeah!" Naomi watched in awe, as Bill, for the first time, successfully used his wings. He slashed at Dracula's back, spraying blood everywhere. The vampire fell to his knees, only to be continuously beaten by Akumura. Naomi ran in, and restrained Akumura. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Dracula looked up at Akumura, "It is you. Isn't it?" Akumura glared downward, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" Dracula touched one of Akumura's feet. "WHAT ARE YO-" Akumura fell forward, not moving. Bill looked up at me, "NOW!" I put my eye to the scope, and pulled the trigger.

The bullet made contact with Dracula. As it pierced his skull, he howled. "WHAT IS THIS?!" He looked up at me. "WHAT ARE YOU-" His voice became garbled and inaudible as his flesh dissolved. Naomi stood up, and slapped Akumura. "What were you doing?!" Akumura stood up, seemingly back to normal. I landed next to them, and looked at Bill. "What?" I shrugged, "Dunno." He sighed, "It's because I managed to fly, isn't it?"

"As I said, dunno. Maybe, maybe not." Akumura looked around, "What happened?" Naomi slapped him again, "You went too far! You're going to be in no condition to fi-" A spear appeared through her abdomen. "What the-" Akumura looked around

"FUCK!" Bill just narrowly managed to avoid a spear. More randomly appeared from nowhere. "Do you really think it would be that easy?" Dracula's voice rung all around me. Another spear appeared, followed by someone running at us. "No-" Scorpio stood in front of me, carrying a single spear, her eyes glowing red.
