Chapter 2 - The Unlikely Alliance

Tarisai Windmort, found herself back in her room her memories uncertain her version blurry . She tried to recall the events of the previous day as the light from the morning sun penetrated through her bedroom curtain.

Although she couldn't remember a thing her mind had one fixed thought ingraved in the back of her mind . It was although a voice in her head was whispering instructions to her , usually the voice in your head is your own but this voice was unfamiliar to her .

She found herself back at the VEU headquarters, unsure of how she got there. The events of the previous night were hazy, and she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She tried to recall the details, but her memories were foggy.

As she walked through the headquarters, she noticed her fellow VEU members looking at her with a mixture of concern and suspicion. She knew that they had lost many soldiers in the battle against the vampires , and she wondered if they blamed her for the defeat.

Tarisai's thoughts were interrupted by her commander, who called her into his office. "Tarisai, we need to talk," he said, his voice stern.

"Yes, sir," Tarisai replied, standing at attention.

"What happened last night?" her commander asked, his eyes narrowing. "We lost contact with you during the battle. Where were you?"

Tarisai hesitated, unsure of what to say. She didn't remember much of what had happened after she was separated from her team.

"I...I don't know, sir," she admitted. "I remember fighting, and then...nothing."

Her commander sighed. "Tarisai, we need to know what happened. The vampires are getting stronger, and we can't afford to lose any more soldiers. Can you think of anything that might help us?"

Tarisai shook her head, feeling a sense of frustration. She knew that she had failed her team, and she didn't know how to make it right.

As she left her commander's office, Tarisai felt a sense of unease. She knew that she had to do something to make up for her failure, but she didn't know what.

After she filed her resignation letter and officially left VEU she walked over to her local café where she reserved a table for herself and ordered a plan coffee.

As she pondered still trying to recall the previous day's events.

" Pardon me " a male voice said to her approaching her from behind.

It was Nikolas Rosehart who sat opposite from her.

She could feel a certain aura to him but couldn't tell what exactly. She was like she had met him before but couldn't remember why , he took off the facemaks that he wore to hide his face staring her dead in the eyes . She felt a sense of discomfort and anxiety.

" Do I know you? " She finally asked

For a moment he wondered how until he remembered he erased her memory . He looked around the cafe Making sure no one was looking their direction.

"Remember "

He uttered and in a quick flash her memories had been restored it was an odd sensation her memories had flooded her mind like an ocean.

She instinctively reached for her gun and pointed it right at him with fury in her eyes realizing she had been used and manipulated so easily.

" How could you ,

You blood sucking bastard,

Do you have any idea what you've done ".

Although he had a gun to his head he seemed calm and relaxed .

I'm not here to hurt you," he said. "I'm here to help you."

Tarisai hesitated, unsure of what to do. But something about Nikolas' eyes made her feel like she could trust him to an extent.

"What do you want?" she asked, her voice cautious.

"I want to help you take down Elijah," Nikolas replied. "I feel like you have a better shot at it with me by your side ."

Tarisai snorted. "I don't need your help. I can take care of myself."

Nikolas smiled. " your arrogance will be the death of you , i swear you humans all think alike.I'm not offering you my help. I'm offering you an alliance, simple ."

Tarisai was taken aback by Nikolas' proposal. She had never considered working with a vampire before, but something about Nikolas made her feel like she could trust him.

He needed some kind of clarity that he would not betray her .

She finally asked " who exactly is this Elijah ?".

Nikolas' facial expression changed completely , it was definite that he did not want to talk about it , however he had to give her some Kind of clarification.

" Elijah " he finally said in a serious and low tone ,

" His is also know as the the Son of the Blood moon and possess power no normal vampire has .

But not convinced she asked fir more information and detail on the inside of the Vampires .

" Alongside Elijah are the elites a group of high ranking vampires,

Skilled , powerful and cunning vampires that rule over vampires whole over the world .

The most prominent of these vampires are the four knights of the Blood moon ,

Christopher Zii Jones

Edward Cullen

Jonathan C Dominic and

Damian Ross

If you ever meet Elijah or his four knights you should consider yourself dead ".

She finally excepted his help and thier alliance was formed. However she still felt a sense of powerlessness . Blank Rather a formless being without purpose.

She left the cafe and disappeared into a crowd of people. As Nikolas watched her leave he noticed to unknown vampires follow her from a distance.

The sun set and the stars had come to play . The streets were silent as though it was a ghost town. Tarisai had her mind preoccupied as she wondered the streets with a sense of numbness

Her home was right around the corner and she walked as though she had no hope left in life. It was a surprising good neighborhood with zero to no crime .

As she walked through the ally towards her home she felt drops of rain fall on her forehead.

As she looked it she quickly realized that it wasn't rain but blood dripping from two lifeless human bodies . She noticed two vampires ontop of the roof holding two dead human bodies overflowing with blood as though it was an overfilled dam.

The vampires had sinister grins and a deadly aura around them as blood dripped from thier mouthes with utter satisfaction they're eyes fixed on thier next target.

She quickly pulls out her gun and tries shooting at them but finds herself quickly disarmed by one of the Vampires. She knew that she had no hope of winning but the rage that coursed through her filled with hatred and the urge for vengeance of her fallen comrades compelled her to fight on.

The two vampires blocked her escape from both ways , however it's not like she indeeded to run from them. As she indeeded to attack them her body instantly froze as though she had been put on pause on show.

" why ?" She asked herself ,

" why can't I move ?" She persisted,

She realized it was not as easy as she thought to return into battle after witnessing just a gruesome scene .

Her mind was fixed of fighting on till the bitter end but her body did not react according . It was animal instinct to avoid a fight it can't win . At that moment that primitive instinct had kicked it , her body knowing it's limits refused to move any further.

The vampires drew closer closing in on her about to fest on their next meal . Her anxiety kicked it her version betrayed her as she pictures the vampires far more ominous then they truly appeared.

The Picture of Elijah holding her lifeless body came to mind . She saw herself bleeding out like a wild animal that had been brutally murdered . She denied it but deep down she knew she was a scared weak little girl who had no control over anything.

He hands begun to shake in terror followed by the rest of her body as tears burst from her eyes accepting the fact that she was weak and hopeless.

"DIE !" One of the Vampires exclaimed as he bore it's fangs towards her neck . It grabed her by the neck as she cried out for help in the empty streets .

It's eyes glowed ever more radiant and bright.

In that instance she had accepted her fate and was ready to be accompanied by the angle who watched off her.

In less than a mili second the vampire had been ripped off , leaving blood to overflow like a running water pipe . She looked to see her savour to her surprise Nikolas was seating on the decapitated vampires shoulders holding it's removed head slightly above his own shoulders .

The second vampire attacked him from behind but was unsuccessful as it's movements were too slow . Nikolas appeared from behind it . As the vampire turns to attack it's opponent , the figure it sees is one not of a vampire enraged but one of a devil infuriated.

The vampire tried to grab Nikolas however he swiftly dodged it and ripped out the vampires throat . As the vampire tries to stop it's bleeding he moves behind it once more and rippes out both it's arms .

As the vampire gets on it's knees and tries begging for forgiveness it instantly stopped once Nikolas stood infront of it.

His eyes were different from those of other vampires and the atmosphere around him was cold and suffocating. His face should no sign of emotion , no sign of weakness, no sign of mercy whatsoever.

The air around the entire environment became cold and suffocating. Nikolas maintained a prefect poker face as he ripped out the heart of the enemy before him and crushed it with his bare hands .

He approached Tarisai and offered his hand of assistance . For a moment she hesitated but then once she noticed his warm and friendly smile she took his hand and he helped her up.

The atmosphere changed once more . It became warm and comforting as though it wasn't cold and suffocating. She felt safe around him and that made her wonder . She burst into tears once more and fell into hims arms as she cried out . She felt his warm and comforting aura protecting her , in his arms at that moment nothing could hurt her.

He then puts off a stupid yet funny joke to lighten up the mood , and as he intended she laughed. Her cries were turned to laughter but the most unexpected.

Afterward he pulls her back Slightly and finally says to her.

" let's make a pact,

I'll link us together and whenever your in trouble all you'll have to do is call my name " , he said in a calming tone.

She nodded her head in agreement and he begun to create the pact he spoke off.

"HEAR MY CALL AND GRANT MY WISH...

AS I CREATE A COVENANT WITH THIS MORTAL WOMAN !"

He yells out as he hold her hands " I Nikolas Rosehart summon you ".

The space around them had completely vanished. They had been taken to a realm where time and space is irrelevant.

Behind them a cloaked figure appeared .

His face could not be seen , for whomever saw it would suffer eternal dalmatian.

He wore a pure white cloak representing all that is pure in this world . He possessed a halo above his head and two sets of wings representing his angelic figure .

He held a sith in his left hand which bore the name DEATH and he held a Gontlet filled with water in his right hand which bore the name LIFE . And his name was Onivas the angel of life and death.

Tarisai looked to the being before them and she couldn't Believe her eyes her existence was but a pible compared to the one before them . In an instant the realm had returned to it's natural state and a ring like tattoo appeared around her rist .

" it is done " Nikolas said as the same tattoo appeared on his rist .

And just like that an unlikely alliance between a vampire and a human had been formed .

Meanwhile elsewhere Elijah had gotten reports of the night's events and grew ever more tiresome of Nikolas .once he remained alone in his office he laughed , however his laughter seemed forced filled with anger and hate .

" After soo long , you still haven't Changed , have you Nikolas?" , he said to himself as he looked to great England from his office window.

He then picks up a telephone and makes an international call,

" Hello my friend.... IT had been too long " he said to the unknown receipt with such casualty .

" I'll be booking you a flight to England tomorrow....

We have some business we must discuss, matters too pressing to discuss over phone " and once all was said and done the connection had cut and he returned to watching the metropolitan from his window .
