Chapter Twenty

My father's sword dripping with the blood of Vampires glinting in the light. Bastian does not take his eyes off me as I stare right back at him. He throws Alex and not even a sound is made by her when she lands on the ground heavily. She was dead, I couldn't fool myself any longer. Someone dear to me is dead right in front of me and at the hands of my enemy. My body swelling with rage and revenge I lounged at him. Bastian was waiting, he wanted my emotions to get the better of me. I'll mess up and hopefully be able to kill me. As my sword clashed with his, he smirked flashing his razor-sharp teeth.

" That is a lovely sword, boy, where'd you get it? " He enunciated tauntingly.

" You should know you, pest," I reacted full of fury.

" Oh, yes, it was your father's, I was the one to kill him you know. Right before I ripped your mother's throat out along with the rest of her children," Bastian yapped as he pushed me back breaking our blades being crossed. He could see the emotion laid across my face, I was out to kill him.

" I can tell you want to kill me, I hate to be the bringer of bad news but I'm a vampire and we can't be killed so easily as you might think," He said with a grin. I turn my wrist looking over both sides of the blade in my hand covered in blood. I snicker as I bring my eyes to meet his.

" Are you sure?" I almost cackle. His grin drops his eyes dark.

" What is that blade made out of?" He asks alarm creeping into his voice. My smirk turns into a devilish grin showing my incredibly sharp teeth, letting my wolf show. I start to walk around him in a big circle talking as I go.

" You should know, you're the one who killed my father, this was his sword. But I'll tell you anyway since I'm feeling chatty. " I tell as I stop behind him.

" This sword was crafted from your own, which is why it's so good at killing your kind but it also has something so toxic to your vermin that a single nibble and it's all over for you,"

Bastian spins around his eyes filled with fear but his voice is calm and steady.

" You wouldn't be able to use that on me, do you know who I am boy, I made you."

" Yes, but I'm not a full vampire, don't you remember?" I grin my teeth sharp. I can hear him swallow loudly over the cries of fighting around us.

" Look around you, who is winning? It's wolves and demons against whatever you have on your side. "

He looks around to see his army being cut down as we spoke.

" How," He whispered.

" It's simple, they have me, I have vampire blood running through my veins along with my fathers. This means that I'm stronger than you and I know the secret of how to kill you all. " I said raising my sword to his eye level.

" I'll let you keep your life if you surrender to me, only to me," I growl a hint of wolf showing.

" I'll surrender," Bastian spoke lowering his head and walking closer. I blink and he's gone.

" You fool, do you truly think I'll ever surrender to a mixed-blood like you?" He cried. I turn to my left and what do I see he has his filthy claw-like fingers wrapped around Alex's throat. Her eyes closed and her body limp.

" She's dead, she means nothing. " I snap trying not to look at her.

" Is that so?" He grins digging his claws into her skin blood running down her neck and vanishing beneath her armor. I let out a yelp and attempt not to rush to her.

" Ah, so she does mean something to you." Bastian beams.

" Don't touch her, she's already dead, "

" Are you sure?" He asks tilting her head for me to look at her blood-covered face. A growl is increasing in my throat.

" Fine," I said I sheth my sword and stripped off my armor.

" What are you doing?" He questioned.

" Your demise," I responded.

A type of white smoke engulfed me as I merged the curse and the gift I was given to create a monster that no one has ever seen. When the smoke dispersed what was there instead of a boy stood a beast that would nightmares to the devil himself.

" What is that?!" Bastian yelled.

" Do you want me to kill her!" He screamed.

" You already have." A growly voice uttered. His pale face turned even more pale as I took a step toward him. He dropped the girl he was holding hostage and started to run. I let out a howl so deep and menacing that the fighting stopped, no one knew which side I was on.

" You idiots protect me!" Bastian shrieked as he was pushing people out of his way. At that, I dropped to all fours my legs ready to pounce into a run straight for him. The vampires run at me defending their leader. I bound over them with ease shattering their heads and pulverizing their brains slaughtering them.

" Bastian!" I bellow.

In a matter of seconds, I am on top of him pinning him with my claw to the battlefield, growling over him.

" This is the end for you." I snarl as I tear his head off and chuck it across the battleground. My troops explode into cheers. " It's not over yet!" I bark. I turn growling at Bastian's army. Everyone stops moving drawing their swords filled with newfound enthusiasm. A vampire shouts that they surrender and runs off and everyone else followed suit. At the sight of them all running away my body gives out, I shift back into my old boyish self as I crumple crashing to the ground.

" Issac!" I heard someone's voice calling me as I try to keep conscious. I look up at the sky to see Zero looking over me with concern in his eyes.

" You told us not to die, that means you too!" He yelled.

" Alex, take me to her," I whispered. Zero helped me sit up and then stand. He sustained my weight as we made our way to her still laying lifeless on the grass. He helps me sit next to her. I manage to lift her head into my lap. Emotion overtook me, Alex was gone. Someone who used to tease me constantly and always made sure I was okay. The same girl who came to my room the night before and asked me to comfort her because she was scared. All of this was my fault, she is dead because of me. Tears streamed down my blood-covered face and droplets rolled down her cheek. Her skin was now cold, she is lost to me.
