Needle

Alexander POV

Walking out of the kitchen, my sister walks with me to the ground floor to search for anyone that may need our help, till we find ourselves started by a hard landing of a carcass that was either thrown from the fourth floor or slipped to fall, it's not moving at all, Avana tries to walk out by I pull her back to me.

Once mother sees how destroyed the castle is from this, we will all hear her wrath and are pretty sure we will be pulling if not double triple the work. Looking all over I see Orpheus's men dropping from the floors to the first one, placing myself first I see two of his men have been bitten but they aren’t showing changes.

Thinking we are in the clear, I do not focus in the eyes of the men who have become bitten, they have no eyes, its as they aren’t alive, I shield Avana by telling her, “Whatever you do, do not see the eyes of the vampires who are bitten, am I clear?” I feel her nod from my back.

Walking towards Orpheus he comes closer to us as well, looking that Avana is alright he lets go of a big breath he was holding on to. He looks shaken up but overall glad to be with Avana and me, we need to learn what is going on, scanning the place, I glance at Orpheus who takes out a small case with four exact needles filled with a red liquid, the same I saw in the carcasses.

“Alright now we need to get one of my bitten men here and give them my blood in a shot, the others I will order to walk outside.” He gives me one of the needles, I pass it to Avana who has a better hand with this than me.

“You are killing your own men?” He sad smiles and nods, I’m shocked, he is killing his own men to eliminate the possibility of a war.

“I’m sure you would do the same if you had to choose.” I nod at his answer.

I take my sister's frying pan, to the point with my hand the one we are knocking out to place the needle in, she nods and follows me to do our job, I move near it and it hisses at me, I hit it hard-knocking his head fully bent to the other side falling to that side, Avana goes right to its dislocated neck and presses the needle fully in.

The vampire shakes, combusts, and foam starts to come out of it, I give the frying pan to Avana, pushing her to the small room door so she can hide, keeping her safe is my top priority, I got to the big double doors and open them so Orpheus can guide them better.

As soon as I open the doors, the front warriors go on to solute me, this is peace of mind, but also worries me, if they are all unaware, the job was done inside, which complicates things a bit more. Sliding to the side to allow the vampires to walk to their death, I mind linking my father.

“Father, we need to talk.’ I wait as I look at the warriors look in confusion.

‘Yes, well this better be a good talk, all your sisters, minus Avana is here with your mother.” He states as I closed my eyes to breathe a bit more relaxed.

“Avana is with me, we are both fine. They have been Vampires bitten from what Avana and I are now calling Carcasses, we are helping Orpheus kill them with the sunlight, we immobilize one or killed one by using Orpheus blood injected in the vampire, Avana killed one Carcass and placed in the big kitchen fridge room.’ I say thru the mind link as I started to hear the screams of the vampires that are now being burned alive.

‘Well that is quite a big update, we haven’t heard much from our end, at first we could keep hearing the strong hits of the walls but when Orpheus ran with his men we did not hear anything from them.” I tilt my head to the side a bit confused but my thinking on how things are starting to look worries me.

“Yes well, we will give one complete search, it will take a moment so stay still till I return alright father?’ I hear him groan in the link and end the mind link.

Walking back inside to Orpheus, I ask him to point-blank my idea, “Correct my assumptions but if you can control your kind that way, where the carcasses controlled that way as well by the vampires you just killed?” Orpheus looks at me with wide eyes.

“I realized the same way when we were being attacked by them, as soon as I saw my men turning I moved to order them to control the monsters to fall or hurt themselves till they were dead entirely.” I listen to him intently, it makes sense that he could do that in all fairnes.

Vampires are known to be the most mindful creatures in every sense of the word, they control their minds to the extent of controlling the will like a telekinetic power, a psychological power that is stronger than an Alphas command. Our biggest weakness apart from our beloved and mates is magic. Humans are the only ones who can create magic by being a witch or by studying it. We eliminated witches centuries ago, we never needed to be ruled by them besides Vampires and Werewolves can keep a good balance with Humans no need to destroy entirely a race.

Thinking about what we have just done I take a seat on the sofa in the waiting hall, rubbing my eyes from this day, connecting certain dots but not everything is connecting, I am missing important information. Regarding who allowed these things in my home to start with.
