Violetwall Town
C-Dome
Standing at the entrance of the house, his emotions poached. He looked around slowly dropping Bella slowly and carefully on the ground like a baby, he walked around watching with accurate apprehension and disturbance. He couldn't think of anyone else than Lloyd, he ran up the stairs into the vacant rooms but they were empty. He dashed down the stairs shouting everywhere.
"Lloyd! Lloyd!" He shouted looking around with his feet crushing dry woods and broken glasses. He ran into the kitchen but couldn't find anyone except a hole on the wall.
Amelia was also amazed, she was in fact lost psychologically. She just looked around awed and unable to utter a word, her mind shivered like it was freezing but couldn't move a muscle from where she stood. Her only target was to keep the Nelapsi secure for she could be another threat to them.
Clancy took off his glasses then hung it around his collar and rushed down the stairs that led into the cellar, he had no idea there was another room underneath the house because Lloyd never told him they had a hiding spot. He watched carefully as he maneuvered down the stairs, his eyes searched like an eagle but what caught his gaze was the lifeless body of Lloyd frozen onto the ground like a frozen food. His skin has turned from paled to almost ripple, Clancy could identify the cause of death on sight and he immediately ran towards him.
"Lloyd! Lloyd! Lloyd!" He shrugged him as he stroke him on his thighs, he shrugged him emotionally thinking he would wake up as normal creature of the hidden world would do but Lloyd was long dead. His mortal body has started decaying and losing it intensity. He couldn't help himself but let out a loud cry that sank within the cellar. He screamed and screamed but no one came to his aid, he looked around observing the area then he sighted the hospital drip stand and some used sachets of blood.
He dropped the corpse and walked diligently towards it but couldn't process what happened, it appeared almost like a medical activity was carried out beneath the house. Judging by the fragrance of the sealed blood sachets, he realized they were his blood. Extracted blood from his body but why? He looked back at lifeless Lloyd asking silently why he would extract his blood and still ended up dying.
"Clancy!" A voice called above and he hurried upward, he froze at a moment and looked back at his dead friend. He was like a father to him and been unable to save him makes him feel practically guilty for his death but he had no other choice.
Perhaps Lloyd was right, he has been muddied by his yearning for vengeance. He was heavenly blinded by the blood of his mother he forgot his best friend, his father Lloyd. He made a huge mistake, a mistake he would never decide to forgive himself.
"Clancy!" Amelia's voice called again and he hurried up.
On getting up, Bella was awake but to avoid her from doing anything, Amelia had her already encompassed in a force field. Clancy stopped before her after wiping the tears off his cheek but Bella noticed his sadness immediately.
He cleared his throat and asked "Now, where should we start?" He began but Bella voice crept in before he could proceed.
"I've felt the same way you're feeling right now after my father left me to squirm and rot in Violetwall cemetery." She explained.
Amelia and Clancy both looked at each other disturbed.
"Your father left you?" Clancy asked.
"But he did that only to protect me from the councils, he was a great father. One of the best man I've ever known." Bella responded looking at Clancy.
Amelia cut in "Don't listen to her Clancy, she's trying to use your emotions against you. Her words are nothing but filthy lies!"
Clancy crouched before her "I know lies when I see one but what stands before me...is the truth!" He responded and Amelia was dumbfounded. She did nothing but scoffed in amazement. Clancy looked into Bella's eyes then asked "Why did you think the councils wants you?"
Bella smiled "Isn't it obvious, I'm the only Nelapsi on the planet, one of the uncontrollable specie on the planet and whatever the councils can't control, they've it executed." She explained.
Amelia cut in again "Lies!" But Clancy rejected her interference and continued his interrogation.
"How come you know a lot about the councils?" He asked Bella.
"Because my father is the son of Dracula himself, he has access to every files and historical myths of the councils. That was why they had him expelled." She replied.
Clancy frowned "Your father is the greatest vampire hunter on the planet, how was he trapped? He could have done worst to the councils. He could have killed them all."
Bella chuckled "It isn't that easy mortal," Clancy burst into laughter.
"Wait, what did you just call me?" He asked.
Bella raised an eyebrow "You're human, right?" She asked.
"I'm a dhampir!" Clancy addressed himself.
Bella was perplexed "What? You are the dhampir my father talked to me about!" She illustrated and this made Clancy stood back on his feet amazed and sacred.
He instead laughed maniacally "Funny Bella, really funny! I never knew you had it in you." He said.
Bella looked at Amelia "I know you don't trust me but know something, the councils don't care about who they hurt or why they hurt. They will confidently and always do anything to maintain their sovereignty." She said to her.
Amelia wasn't caught off by her words, she just rolled her eyes off her but a strange scent caught them alert. Clancy and Amelia immediately turned back to see figures standing before a muscular bald man with narrow eyes and pointy nose, he had a canine tattoo on his left shoulder that peeked through his black short sleeve jacket, brown short and leather boots. Clancy as a dhampir could perceive the stench of a werewolf coming from him, not just him but from all of them and it was getting late already.
Amelia could help but against an alpha werewolf, she could be at least inferior to his claws. Clancy on the other hand just watched with satisfaction, his black OTS-02 Kiparises were already in his hands and Bella was still sealed within the force field. She could be really tangible against the werewolves but Amelia would risk releasing a creature as lethal as Bella.
"It wasn't so hard finding you dhampir with the emptiness of streets in your town, you aren't that hard." Scott said with a straightforward sigh.
Clancy took on his glasses "You must be the Alpha but what did you want?" He asked.
Scott sighed again "I've been searching my whole life for you, I can't believe we eventually meet each other. It's amazing, right?" He smiled but there were no feedbacks "sorry for the intrusion but I'm not here to fight you or any of your friends."
Rapidfire rapidly asked "then, why are you here?"
"You've been going beyond your boundaries lately Rapidfire, you've intruded some laws and rules guarding my territory. You've submitted death and introduced vampires into my town." He explained but Rapidfire cut him short off words.
"I never introduced anyone into your town, they've been there even before my arrival. I only tailed a vampire there."
Scott raised an eyebrow "What about the death of a vampire near the town's cemetery?" He asked.
"That's none of your business!" Rapidfire replied coldly, the reminiscence of his present lost just triggered him like a bolt of lightning.
Scott hummed in amazement, D and Matthew moved forward to attack but he held them back and clicked his tongue lyrically "I don't wanna hurt anyone, i was just hoping for a normal conversation but you're just one rigid soul." He said.
Rapidfire chuckled "I'm not sacred of you, all of you. I'll kill everyone if I'm forced to." He shouted.
Amelia looked at him, so as Bella. They could sense some negativities from him, they could perceive his dark emotions overshadowing his light side. He was right, at that very moment, he could prove himself a threat to everyone of the pack without them knowing.
D walked out beside Scott "let me have him." He said to Scott.
Scott looked at him and back at enraged Rapidfire, he could not decide what makes the feeble human so gusty and determined "I don't think he's ready to talk now, perhaps a persuasion would do the trick but no bloodshed." He suggested and D smiled with gesticulation.
He darted forward using his inhumane physique, he half transformed blazing through the night's wind like an arrow but Rapidfire was more than prepared. He immediately hid back his guns and lashed forward but a right hand punch from D caught him off guard, although not entirely off guard but he shielded himself with his arms crossed into a 'X'. In retaliation, he jolted upward his right knee submitting a fierce pain at the latter's torso which made him stagger back in pain.
Not done, Rapidfire mounted forward again jumping off the ground like an eagle, his boots spread into the air like a nylon supports by the wind but aggressively, he lashed down his left leg causing a kick to pummel on D's head causing him to stagger more backward.
Scott was amazed, his smiles faded but it never angered him. He just couldn't tell how a feeble human could stand on toe against a werewolf, sounds shameful to his pack. Although even not at full transformation, werewolves could still prove a lot merciless against their victims but Rapidfire just proved himself unnatural.
D stood back solid on his feet, he grunted angrily and razor sharp claws extracted from his fingers. He was thinking of going against Scott's warning but the alpha growled angrily which made him back down reluctantly like a tamed dog.
Scott walked out majestically towards Rapidfire, he was amazed and speechless. He just stared at him as he stood few feets before him, his hands were inside his trouser's pockets.
"You don't fight like a feeble human to me!" Scott faintly said "What are you?" He asked.
Rapidfire under his angry breath tried attacking the latter but on drawing closer, Scott bolted out his right arm flattening his palm on his chest but the impact was more than an average human could take. The force was so intense it sent Rapidfire flying backward like a ski into the house and finally slamming his back on the wall aggressively.
Amelia took a fighting stance and natural green energies streamed from everywhere "Now, you just exceeded your limit." She muttered compressing the energies into a large miniature sun.
From the rubbles, Rapidfire rose. He was more angry than ever, he dashed out like the wind supported him. His appearance before Scott sure amazed the alpha, he couldn't attack but defend himself against a punch that came so drastic it skated him an inch back. He looked ahead to see Rapidfire not backing down, he launched forward like a ninja, his right fist speared through the wind like a missile crashing against Scott's face like an explosion.
Scott weaved the attack on reflex, he lashed back at him furiously with his fists propelled on Rapidfire's chest causing a large tremor over his entire being. Rapidfire for a moment couldn't move but before he could react, Scott finalized with a volley kick at his head that skidded him backward on his back like a stone.
Bella grew furious, she snarled and growled angrily bursting out of the field like a nuclear bomb, her release caught everyone astound and shuddered even Amelia forward like a kite. Scott dabbled his face from the attack but before he could clear his view, a punch collided with his chest that immediately caught his heart unnoticed and it halted for a moment, the punch was so great it also caused pressure on his back forcing his spine to snap out like biscuit before finally sending him flying back like an asteroid.
The pack was amazed and snarlings took over the air, clothes were ripped apart by their rages but they never transformed, they just stopped in mid-transformation with their faces folded, hairs grew at each sides of their faces and behind their long growing ears, extracted fangs and razor sharp claws. Bella on the other hand has turned white as snow with black eyes, razor sharp teeth and claws grew exponentially as she roared like a tiger. Her voice was so deep it broke glasses and woods like they were nothing.
They exchanged roars and gazes but as soon as they charged against each other, a large leaflet of book landed before them like a wall. The wave of it emergence shuddered them asunder slamming their backs separately on the ground like puppets.
With that came a voice "Enough!"Nope
