Chapter 42 - Protect The Lady

Mr. Davis turn to Abel who was standing close to Mr. McCray as he asked the question that has been bothering him ever since he heard that his daughter was the one who told him about the witches' objective.

"Where is my daughter".

"I'm over here father" replied Lydia who was already coming to them after seeing that the place is safe.

"You should have stayed at home studying, so what the hell are you doing here" said Mr. Davis with a frown.

"You came back to Warlington Just so I will be able to control powers right, so what better time would it be for me to master it if not now" asked Lydia with her gaze focused on his father.

Seeing that he has been cornered by her question, Mr. Davis could only change the topic since he is losing in their argument.

"let's just get rid of all the witches before they successfully revive their master" said Mr. Davis as he bent down to take his weapon back from the witch that has been knocked out.

Seeing that the team is ready for action once more, Mr. McCray begins to give out instructions.

"Abel, you and Lydia would be responsible for the safety of the lady that is being encircled while Davis you and your wife would handle the witches while I deal with their leader".

"Why don't I help you with the witches while they protect the leader since I am a vampire as well" asked Abel as he was not happy that he is been tasked with protecting the lady.

"You are still inexperienced and would make things a bit difficult for us so just stick with the plan alright" reply Mr. McCray with a frown when seeing Abel questioning his order.

"Alright," said Abel dispirited as he look at his objective with a curious look on his face.

"by the way, what did they need her for" asked Abel.

"They are planning on using her body as a vessel for their master soul once she has been revived. Now let's get moving before it becomes too late"  reply Mr. McCray as he nod at the couple before running forward with his hands stretched towards where the witches are gathered.

Seeing that he is already taking the lead, Mr. Davis instructed Abel and Lydia to stay behind them before also moving out, and just when they are about five meters away from their gathering, they both let out a scream which was more powerful than the previous one and since they were not expecting the attack, their defense was easily breached as they could be seen yelling in pain while covering their ears including the leader.

"Grab the body now" order Mrs. Davis

Taking the opportunity at hand, Abel dashes forward and picks up the body before distancing himself from the fight. Seeing that a strange teenager has taken the body away, the leader of the witch hurriedly stood up as he begin to chant some incantation but before he could complete the incantation, Mr. McCray was already before him. Left with no choice, he had to switch from offense to defense before Mr. McCray's nails could get to him.

"you are annoying" said the witch leader angrily after successfully defending himself from the attack.

"Say what you want to but there is no way that I am going to let you revive your master" reply Mr. McCray with a serious look on his face as he begins to massage his wrist.

"Since you won't let me through, then I will just have to get rid of you before going after that kid" said the witch leader.

"If you think that you can get rid of me then be my guest but even if you succeeded in getting rid of me, you still won't be able to get to the boy cause by then he would be long gone" reply Mr. McCray with a chuckle.

"we'll have to see about that" said the witch leader as he begin to an incantation before swinging his hand down on Mr. McCray as a ball of fire shoot towards him.

"You are going to do a lot better than that if you plan to take me out" chuckled Mr. McCray before moving to the side as the ball of fire passed by.

After getting rid of the fire, Mr. McCray was just about to go for a strike when he saw another ball of fire coming for him and he had to avoid it only for him to discover that there are more coming his way.

"all this ball of flames is becoming very annoying" muttered Mr. McCray after avoiding the ball of fire.

"running are we" mocked the witch leader.

Mr. McCray decided to ignore his mockery as he continue to go for the leader once more as he tried to get close to him since he won't be able to attack him since he is close by and seeing through his plan, the witch leader begin to chant another incantation and before long the ground begins to crack open before skeleton begins to crawl from the ground.

"after him" order the witch leader after a great number of skeletons have surfaced from the ground.

After the order has been given, the skeletons begin to run towards him and before they could even get close, some of the skeletons have already pulled the head of their comrade before throwing it at Mr. McCray in hope of knocking him out.

"To think that you lots would also use the dead to fulfill your doings makes me feel really disappointed on the dark witch association" comment Mr. McCray while avoiding the skulls that are coming his way and at the same time kicking those that are close to him.

"And you think feeding on human's blood isn't a shameful act eh. Guess I will have to leave my minions to deal with you while I go after that boy who runs away with our master vessel" reply the witch leader as he summons another batch of skeletons before walking out of the building.
