Chereads / Sphinx / Chapter 14 - CHAPTER XIV

Chapter 14 - CHAPTER XIV

John gasped for breath as his body jolted to life, he found himself at the backseat of a car with two men in front.

One of the men turned around to look at John who was shaken up.

Of course, he had to be since he thought he was going to meet his family on the other side if he was lucky.

But there he was, alive and awake.

His mouth was dry and his belly churned as the image of his dead family flashed before him.

His emotions gradually took over his rationality like a man on hard drugs and he began to scream and cry as he punched the hood of the car.

"Gabriel," Samuel called his brother who was driving, "Calm him down", Gabriel said.

"Silence", Samuel shouted in a deep voice and like a scared little child John moved to one end of the backseat and wrapped his hands around himself.

He shivered as his skin slowly turned pale, "He needs blood, Gabe" Samuel said.

"I know that" Gabriel said, "Why did you save him anyway?" "I guess I felt bad for him you know. Seeing your family killed before your eyes without the power to do anything about it.

It shatters a man's soul; no man wants to die like that".

"Well, thanks to you he is no longer a man", Samuel glanced at him and noticed that John had become very pale. His skin began to crack like glass.

"If you want him to live, we really need to feed him before he reaches the stage of no return".

"I guess, it's our lucky day", Gabriel said as he saw a checkpoint ahead of them, where there were three police cars and five policemen.

From a distance they signaled the twins to park by the side of the road.

"What the fuck?", they hear one of the police say.

"Come down", one of the officer ordered and the brothers' glanced at each other. They stepped out of the car, "Good day, officers" Samuel greeted.

The officers went round inspecting the 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster, "What the hell is this?", one of the officers said as he saw John looking sickly and leaning against the window.

He saw his blood-stained clothes, "This fucking negros, what have you done?", the officers began to pull out their weapons.

"Get on the ground," they shouted, "I don't have time for this" Gabriel whispered to himself and his eyes immediately began to glow.

He swiftly moved towards the closest officer to him and punched his hand through the officer's chest.

The rest were shocked and began to shoot at the men.

Gabriel put the officer in front of him to block the bullets and charged towards the next officer.

He slapped the gun away and snapped the officer's neck, he picked him up and threw him at the other officers, dropping one of them to the ground.

Two officers ran toward their cars but Samuel appeared in front of them.

He slashed the tip of his fingers against one of the men's throat, slicing it instantly and he fell to the ground jerking like a headless fowl being slaughtered as he laid in his own blood.

The officer on the floor tried to get up but Gabriel slammed his head hard against the tarred road and smashed it, revealing blood and parts of his brain like the insides of a watermelon.

Samuel dragged the last officer who was begging and pleading for his life.

Samuel disarmed him, "This one should do", they heard the door open.

John struggled to walk towards them, "It's funny how we just killed these men for that" Samuel said.

"I can tell they were racist pieces of shit" "Whatever" Samuel said unconcerned.

"Now they are racist pieces of the road", Samuel said, pointing to the head smashed corpse.

The police officer still begged as Samuel handed him over to Gabriel, "Shut up" Gabriel ordered and like a robot the officer kept quiet.

"Stand still and don't move," Gabriel said.

His fingernail grows into a claw and he cut across the officer's neck and blood began to slowly trickle down his throat.

And without hesitation, a maddened John pounced on the officer and sank his teeth into his neck and blood gushed out.

"Wow, you know how to pick them brother", Samuel laughed.

PING! PING!!

John gets a message and brings him out of his memories, he pulls out his pager and raises his brows as he sees the text.

Damn it, now I have to go save the twins.

"Hey, I found it", Mrs. McQueen says as she comes out of the underground tunnel holding up an old looking dagger.

Nightmare.

Perfect timing.

"Good, we have to go. Samuel got his ass kicked and now we have to save them", "For supernatural beings that are supposedly scary, they are incompetent".

"Don't tell them that if you want to live, please" John says.

"And my daughter?", "I don't know Mary" John says, "I'm going to save her and you better not try to stop me", Mrs. McQueen says with anger in her voice.

"Come on, let's go".

DRACULA'S LAIR.

The smell of dead flesh hits his nostrils hard as he wakes up, "What is that smell?" "That's the smell of whooped ass" Gabriel says to his brother.

Gabriel helps him up, "Where are we?" he asks.

"A dungeon under his fucking house," "Who still does those?".

"Ancient supernatural beings like your father" "Nah, nope. He is your dad not mine" "I'm leaving him for you" "No, I already gifted him to you", Samuel says.

He goes close to the bars and holds them.

Samuel immediately feels a high voltage of electricity flow through his body and sends him flying backwards and onto the ground.

Gabriel laughs hard as Samuel tries to get on his feet, "You are a…stupid dick" Samuel groans, Gabriel laughs again, "A very stupid dick" he groans under his breath.

"So, what are we going to do about our current situation?", Samuel asks, "I already notified John" Gabriel says, "Good" "What about Rachael? Hope you got her to safety".

"Yes, I left her with a werewolf", "What?" Gabriel is furious, "Are you insane?".

"Don't worry, it's John's girlfriend" "Oh, Cassandra. She is a nutcase but she is good" Gabriel says.

"A female alpha, your boy got taste" "Now do you think he is useful?", "A little bit".

Gabriel glances at his brother, "What?", Gabriel just shakes his head.

"Father wants to use us for a sacrifice of some sort," Gabriel says, "Well, let's hope we get the hell out of here before he does that" Samuel says.

"Wait, how is John going to find us?" "Telepathy. I'm going to transmit my memories to him so he can locate us" Gabriel says, "Isn't that going to kill him?".

"Samuel, you need to stop underestimating John.

He is stronger than you think".
