CHAPTER ONE:
Two weeks ago the sky went dark and the moon turned blood red as the child of the crescent alpha was born into this world, a new immortal unlike any other that had walked upon the face of the earth. Under the cloudless starry sky, the moon shone brilliantly and the cheery couple walked out of the ice cream shop hand in hand with their new born baby sleeping soundly in the hands of its mother, Sarah looked down at her child with affection in her eyes, gazing down at the first half blood alpha, the council had rejected the child, they'd opposed the idea of a half blood leading the crescent pack and also opposed the idea of the alpha falling in love with a human and as such had stripped her of her title as alpha and banished her from the pack, "I guess there's no going back now" said Sarah softly as she slid into the passenger's seat, "I still can't believe that you really chose to leave the pack" replied Matthew.
"I love you Matthew Connors and nothing's going to change that and nothing's ever going to make me regret my decision, you and our baby are my life now and besides I was already getting tired of fighting vampires day in day out", she leaned forward and kissed her husband. Matthew turned the ignition, the engine sputtered and died down, he tried a second time, the engine roared to life and died down again, suddenly a shadow whizzed past the windshield, "something's out there" said Matthew silently, he turned and stared at his wife whose eyes were now glowing, her senses heightened, "it's them, they found us", Matthew slid his hand underneath the car seat and grabbed his nine millimeter pistol "well let's make them regret ever looking" he said checking his ammo.
"Matthew, let me handle this you stay with the baby", "no I'm coming with you and you need my help" he protested. "No Matthew, there's no time to argue about this, I am still an alpha and I would be able to fight a whole lot better knowing that the baby is safe, so please just stay in the car", "fine but please don't get hurt". "I'll be fine" she replied walking ever so confident into the darkness to face her enemies, "you know, you should just stop wasting my time and come out", instantly the creatures with red glowing eyes started manifesting from the shadows "the almighty crescent alpha, strongest of the werewolf race, I would say it's an honor to meet you but really it's not" said a figure wrapped in the darkness, it's red glowing eyes were the only thing visible in the darkness.
"What do want vampire? "Nothing much, just the life of the child", it said sarcastically, "well we definitely aren't going to see eye to eye on that and you are not laying a finger on my child" replied Sarah. "That child cannot be allowed to live and you know it, power like that will disrupt the balance of the supernatural world and we cannot let that happen, the child must die", it finished coldly, "over my dead body!" "I really didn't want to do this but you leave me no choice, kill her!" The creatures leapt forth from the darkness charging at Sarah, she stood her ground and took a fighting stance, the total number of vampires that charged at her numbered about twenty five but she seemed perfectly okay with the odds. The first vampire that was within reach took a sharp Spartan kick to the chest throwing it a couple of meters, the second received an upper cut that caused a silent "crack" to echo through the night, as for the rest it was a flurry of movements and their numbers didn't matter, until the vampire that'd spoke earlier joined the fight landing a devastating blow across her chest forcing her to her knees
"Sarah!" exclaimed Matthew. Sarah rose to her feet, her eyes glowing bright yellow, her enemies surrounded her, the vampire that'd spoke earlier took the lead charging at her, they locked fists, his strength wasn't inferior to hers, she finally knew who he was, her arch enemy, the one person who could contend her strength, Kyle, the only true direct descendant of the Lord of darkness, she'd never expected that he'd come out here himself but Kyle being here himself wasn't good news. They traded blows but they were equally matched, another vampire grabbed Sarah from behind but a rain of silver bullets washed it off her, disintegrating into ash, this got the attention of the two remaining vampires, they dashed at Matthew tossing him like a rag doll, he landed hard on the windshield of a car parked nearby, Matthew's vision was blurry but he could see the two vampires reaching for his daughter. With a rush of adrenaline he leapt to his feet and reached for the garlic spray in his pocket and doused the two vampires clear in the face, the creatures screamed and writhed in agony as its face frothed, Matthew scurried frantically for his gun and shot both vampires square in the chest watching as they turned into ash.
Meanwhile the battle between the two powerhouses was escalating out of control Sarah tossed Kyle into a car which he crashed into but he immediately recovered whooshing past her landing a gut wrenching punch knocking her into a nearby building the force of her impact down the wall down, the battle between the two supernatural creatures was attracting too much attention, their movements were too fast for the eye to see but a few seconds later a loud boom was heard above the sound of their fists colliding. The parking lot was completely wrecked the cars were in pieces and there was a huge crater in the center of the parking lot with Kyle lying in the center if it and Sarah standing over him, she grabbed him by his tattered collar and pounded his face as hard as she could, her fists were bleeding but he just kept laughing. A gun shot broke the silence and a bullet whizzed past Matthew's face and struck his wife in her side, he expected to see the bullet fall out and the wound heal but nothing she just kept bleeding.
The realization hit them both it was silver, silver bullets; over the noise and commotion of the fight they hadn't noticed the hunter's arrival. He rushed to her side to catch her as she fell to her knees, "Sarah! Sarah, Sarah, look at me, okay I'm going to take you to a hospital and you're going to be alright" he said panicking, he placed as much pressure as he could on her wound, he couldn't lose her, not now, not ever, he helped her to her feet and half dragged, half carried her to their car as fast as he could totally ignorant of his own injuries. He turned the key again but the engine died, after the third attempt the car roared to life, he drove out of the parking lot at break neck speed ignoring the rain of bullets from the hunters but something else was after them as they headed into the traffic, the vampire that'd laid at the bottom of the crater was right beside them, ramming the car off the road, Matthew struggled to keep the car steady but it swerved and veered out of control, a bright light followed by the blaring of horns struck Matthew's attention as he saw a large truck headed right for them, he turned hard but the car skid and fell and summersaulted four times with Matthew and his entire family in the car, Kyle smiled broadly celebrating his victory, as the hunters approached the scene the car erupted in flames. The secret war between the supernatural races had once again claimed more lives but these deaths were only the beginning.
