Chapter 23 - Chapter 23- Get Up

Jones began to walk slowly towards the group, "get behind me young masters" Elena walked in front of John and Thomas. John could not believe what is happening "why does this person wants to kill us; this must be a misunderstanding" he thought.

John then came from behind Elena "wait Mr., this must be a misunderstanding, we have no beef with you, why are you tryna kill us, lets talk this out". Thomas said nothing but was on high alert of this person with tattered clothes.

Jones then points his index finger that is long and sharp at John "No mistake has been made; you are the grandchild of Leonidas Crimson aren't you boy?". "Yes, we both are" John said, not knowing what he had just done. Jones smiled "two Crimsons are before me, this must be my lucky day, my master will be pleased"

John began to panic "wait, hold up, are you an assassin? who send you?"

"Enough talking, the dead has no need for information" Jones then dashed towards John but Elena intervened but she was quickly overpowered when Jones attacked her with the back of his hand, sending the maid vampire flying into a tree, Jones then went to grab John who were paralyzed from fear until Thomas came and punched Jones in the rib, Jones paused for a second and looked at Thomas "is that all you got", Jones then grabbed Thomas by the face and smashing him down on the ground.

"No" John cried. Jones then used his sharp claws and slashed Thomas across his chest and stomach, blood began to leak and spray, John could only look in horror on how his cousin is being attacked by this man. Jones then stood up to look at Thomas that is all bloodied, Thomas then began to slowly crawl away from Jones "I'll make sure you pay for this" Thomas said, this only made Jones angrier as he stomped on Thomas's leg, breaking it instantly, Thomas gave a loud scream until Elena came out of the blue with a high kick but Jones caught her foot and slammed her into the huge rocks, she couldn't help to cough up blood.

Jones then turned to John "I'm not happy about this kid, but I'll make this quick" he came up to John, he grabbed him by the hair, ready to chop off John's head "any last words"

"You will not hurt young master" Elena came with a powerful punch to Jones face, blood leak out of his mouth, then she gave him a kick to the face where he stumbled backwards, she kicked him multiple times until he was on the edge of the hill, when she wanted to give him a final kick, he grabbed her legs and threw her off the edge.

John's eyes stretched "No" he thought to himself. Jones looked down from the hill to see where Elena had fallen, feeling very pleased with himself, just when he was about to turn around Thomas came out of nowhere "Blood Punch". Thomas's fist had turned blood red, he punched Jones in the ribs again but this time a cracking sound can be heard and he punched Jones down the hill, however, Thomas was still bloodied and badly damaged, his healing was very slow because of how severe his body's damage was, "Let's go John, we got to escape". John stood there looking down from the hill, he saw how Jones was getting up from the huge fall and heading for Elena who was also still recovering from her fall "I can't".

Thomas became angry "What you mean you can't, we have to go!", he grabbed John's hand but found out he couldn't move John, he sensed power coming from John. John turned his head to look at Thomas. Thomas saw John's one eye began turning red "Go Thomas, go back and get help, I'll go and help Elena". John thought about how scared he was just a moment ago, he then thought about how scared he was in the alley where he was stabbed in the neck.

"Go help the maid, are you crazy, leave her, she is just a maid". John then screamed at Thomas "She is not just a maid, she is my friend and I will not abandon her, she saved my life once and if I die today, then so be it.!"

John then jumped from the hill on his way to go help Elena with Thomas looking from above "Good luck cousin".

John moved down the hill, running as fast as he could, he moved down and moving swiftly between the trees until he reached the river, he saw Elena and Jones fighting. Elena was full of cuts and bruises that was healing slowly, Jones gave Elena a chokeslam almost knocking her unconscious, he then picked her Elena up by her tiny neck, Jones eyes began to change yellowish, he opened his mouth with his fangs revealing themselves and bit Elena in her left shoulder where she couldn't help to scream. While John was running, he saw Elena being bitten and he became angry "No!!", John then began to run faster, new energy was coursing through his body but he knew it will not be enough to stop this man, he then retrieved the dagger that was coated with the silvereye spider's poison from his storage ring.

Jones held Elena in the air with his mouth full of blood and sensed John approaching closer "The boy is coming to your rescue, I thought my chances were over when I fell down that hill, but fate is smiling upon me, delivering the boy into my hands"

Elena's expression was full of fear when she saw John running closer "No master". Jones did not bother to turn his head to look at John, he looked at Elena trying to break her neck as he tightens his hands but then he felt a stab in his back, John twisted the dagger and Jones could not stand the pain and let go of Elena.

"You fucking cunt", Jones turned around and gave John a furious punched in the face, blood sprayed out John's nose and mouth. Further, John even felt something crack in his face. Jones then removed the dagger from his back and threw it to the ground "you shouldn't have done that boy", as John was lifting himself up, Jones came and kicked John on the side of the body, John couldn't help but cough a mouthful of blood.

"Time to kill you boy" but just as Jones wanted to give the finishing blow Elena got up, she put all the power she can muster into her legs. "You will not lay a hand on young master anymore!" Elena's legs were bulging with power, she dashed at great speed and her foot connected to Jones's side, breaking his ribs as her foot moved deeper in his body, sending him flying into multiple trees. Elena then fell unconscious into the ground… John who managed to pick himself up, ran to her side "Elena…Elena get up".
