Chapter 4. THE LAST OF THE VAL-LEROS

Nala ran towards Cypher's direction and passed him. He quickly started shooting at the two vampires behind her, but no arrows got to them. Shira tried to grab Nala, and she jumped down, and she grabbed a man in front of Nala, and sucked his blood while still in the air. The man screamed.

Suddenly, the sun was rising and there was no sign of vampires. He paused and looked around. 

Everyone came out from their hiding places. 

"It's the sun," Nala said. 

John was still on the floor hiding, while Cypher was alert. Some villagers opened their windows. Cypher heard a sound from the well behind him and got closer. Nala followed. They both stared inside the well to check if there was any vampire inside.

But they didn't see anything or hear a sound. Suddenly, clouds covered the sun, and Sarafina jumped out of the well and grabbed Nala. She pushed Cypher to the ground accidentally.

Do you like to fly? Sarafina asked as she grabbed Nala's hand and was laughing scarily. Cypher got up and pointed his arrow towards her but couldn't shoot. Nala took out a dagger and cut Sarafina's leg, she tossed Nala over to Rebecca in the air, and she caught and grabbed her. 

Cypher sets his arrows again and shoots Rebecca's wings. She screams and drops Nala on top of the roof of a building. Nala couldn't hold on to anything and rolled off the building, and she got stuck at the edge of the roof. 

Sarafina was flying in her direction to catch her, but Nala slipped back and landed on a tree branch, holding the branch with one hand, and jumped to the ground. Sarafina was close to catching her, but Cypher kept shooting his arrows nonstop and gave Sarafina holes in her body.

She landed and broke inside the building where Nala was hiding. She heard the sound and quickly locked the doors. 

"Hello Nala," Sarafina said, lying upside down inside the room. Nala was frightened and couldn't say anything. She jumps down and transforms back to human form. 

"Nice to see you too, Sarafina." 

Cypher was curious and was coming close to the building, pointing his arrows. Suddenly Rebecca rushed out of the building and pushed him down. He was lying like a vegetable, and turned around to watch her movements. 

Rebecca and Shira were standing on the balcony of a building, staring at Cypher and taking out his arrows on their bodies. They both transformed back to human forms. Cypher was staring closely at them as he got up.

Did I do something to you in our past life? Nala asked as she ran to open the door. 

Don't play coy with me, princess, I know it hurts in your latest heart. Sarafina said.

I hope you have a heart, Sarafina, because someday I'm going to drive a stick through it. Hits Nala so hard that she breaks the window and falls to the ground. 

This should do the trick. John yelled "holy water" and threw it in the air. Rebecca grabbed it instantly and flew up. 

"Come sister, let's finish him," Shira said. 

"Too bad," Rebecca said while smiling at Cypher.

The church! John screamed as he pointed at a tap that was dropping some holy water. Cypher turned around and looked towards the direction John pointed in.

Rebecca smiled at Cypher again and pulled out her fangs.

Nala was inside another building, running away from Sarafina. She paused immediately when she saw Sarafina sipping a cup of blood. 

30 years old, a perfect age. Sarafina said.

Shira appeared right behind her. "Hello, Nala my dear," Shira said. Nala quickly turned around, she was surrounded by the two vampires, and they walked towards her as she stepped back.

The last of the Val-Leros!

Nala tried to hit Shira, but she bragged with her hands, they brought Nala down to the ground and were ready to suck her blood. I can feel fresh blood rushing through her veins! Shira said.

I want the first bite! Sarafina said as they both pulled out their fangs.

Rebecca attacked Cypher and pushed him into a barnyard. She flew high with a burst of scary laughter, and he was down staring at his bowl. 

Here she comes! John said as Rebecca flew very fast in Cypher's direction.

 He was running to the church to tap some holy water in his bow. Rebecca was already close to him. He tapped his bowl into it and turned around to shoot. He shot her right in her chest nonstop as she screamed.

Sarafina and Shira both yelled immediately because one of them was killed. Rebecca landed on the roof of a building, Shira and Sarafina roared and couldn't get close to Nala. They both transformed back into vampires and flew off through the windows.

Rebecca's body was decomposing, she screamed and vanished. Cypher picked up his hat and sat on the stairs. John turned around, stared at the cow beside him, and walked close to Cypher.

The whole people of the city came out and yelled at Cypher! He killed a vampire! He killed a vampire! 

But he had done a good thing. John said. Vampires only kill when they need to survive, now they will kill for revenge! Lenoy said. 

The people kept yelling at both of them. The crowd is getting bigger. John said. 

They'll watch. Cypher responded.

So what name, my good sir, do I curve on your grave? thou! Lenoy asked.

His name is Cypher Helson! Nala said and everyone stared at her. Your reputation precedes you. 

Cypher got up and she smiled.

Next time stay close, you're not good at being dead. He said, and she smiled again.

Well, I'll say this to you, you've got courage. He is the first one to kill a vampire in over a hundred years! I think I will serve him a drink. Nala said, staring into Cypher's eyes.
