Into the fields of Summer - 55. Battle Lines 2
“What’s this all about?” Victor asked August with concern.
“I’m not yet sure, but this can’t be good, all visitors enter via the main gate, and we usually know if there are any visitors ahead of time, the perimeter sensors say there are several intruders at the western perimeter” August replied with more force in his voice, he was preparing for a fight.
I was certainly confused with the sudden turn of events. Leo as well had a worried look on his face.
August held Leo and said “don’t worry, it will be fine” To which my best friend only slowly nodded back.
Cage, Fred, Arthur and Arnold came running out of the mansion towards us. “Boss, we’ve got intruders” Cage huffed as he ran towards us.
“I know.... the perimeter alarm has alerted me as well” August replied.
Then he continued “Arthur... Arnold... bring Leo inside, keep him safe” August commanded.
“Yes sir!” Arthur replied.
“But I want to help, I can help!” Leo replied.
“Yes... I know Leo, but I can’t afford to have you hurt, we don’t know what this is all about, I’d rather be cautious for now” August replied, cocking his head towards Arthur who along with his brother immediately escorted Leo to the mansion. “Turn on the all the locks inside” August said as the three guys walked back to the mansion
Cage and Fred were now near us, and Cage exchanged looks with Fred as if asking why I was still with them. Victor already knew they felt intimidated by me but both guys couldn’t describe as to why or what’s the cause of them being standoffish with me, they just felt a heaviness in the air with me, but still to them, I was human, and to them a human would have been more of a liability than an asset in case of a fight.
August caught on with Cage and Fred’s apprehension about me still being with them. “Don’t worry about Chris, he’s more than able to defend himself” the alpha said, to which both pack members only nodded in recognition.
“What do we do now boss?” Fred asked.
“The alarms say only 1 group has intruded from the west side of the wall, we should expect less than 10 people, whoever is the strongest among them, I’ll take care of, just make sure not a single one of them is able to reach the mansion” August stated.
We all agreed with August, even if Victor was a vampire governor he also knew that August was more powerful than him if it only came to
brute strength.
Almost 2 minutes later, behind the trees we were able to see movement.
“6 people... almost a hundred feet away” Victor said then explained
“I can sense their thoughts, wait...
I can read them now... uhm... ah... ok... 4 vampires, 2 werewolves”
“Vampires and werewolves? Working together in an attack?” Cage asked.
“Let’s just wait and see, we’re not yet sure that this is an attack” August said as he looked over the tree line to look for the intruders.
A few seconds later, just as Victor said, there were 6 intruders. 4 men and 2 ladies, all looked to be in their mid 20s to early 30s.
“Well well... I didn’t expect to see you here Governor” A dark haired guy stated. He clearly was the leader of this group. The guy had a sinister vibe around him, the people around him at evil grins as well, they were surely very confident of themselves.
“Denver?” Victor asked.
“Oh... you remember me?” The man replied. His evil grin still plastered on his face.
“Of course! You went missing several years ago, your sire, Dianne looked all over for you!, what the hell happened to you?!”
“Oh... my sire... , it’s been quite awhile, Hmm... it’s good that you’re here, your base was the next we were about to attack anyway.” Denver replied with an evil smirk.
“What’s this all about?” August asked. “This is private property, leave now and we will let this intrusion pass” August sternly said.
“Oh... Council Member, we’re pass that point now, it’s time for the Accords and Treaty to end, we didn’t come here for a chit chat” Denver replied as two of the guys behind him growled, they were clearly the 2 werewolves Victor sensed earlier.
“You’re working with werewolves?” Victor asked.
“Well... they didn’t have a pack, so... we adopted them, we took them in, and taught them our ways, we all accept all races in our cause”
“And what ways are you talking about?” Victor calmly asked.
“That the treaty and accord put our kinds to shame, we shouldn’t deal with humans on a level playing field, we should not change our way of lives for their sake, there is no greater shame than to deal with humans as if they are just as powerful as us! We are greater and more powerful than them! They are nothing ... they are all fools!” Denver harshly said.
“Tsk tsk who put that in your head?, Denver... this isn’t the right path, violence will only beget violence” Victor asked.
“Enough talk! This is where you all die!, this is the day that the the world begins to see who we really are!” Denver said as him and his cronies attacked us.
August took on Denver while Victor took on the two female vampires, a lanky vampire launched himself against me while Cage and Fred each got a werewolf to themselves.
I lost track of everyone else, everybody started exchanging blows so fast and I had to deal with this vampire in front of me.
“Hmm... a human? This should be quick” he remarked. Then the vampire attacked me, he was rather swift and he had a knife too, shit i didn’t have any weapons with me.
I blocked and dodged all his attacks and I stayed away from his knife. He was skilled with the knife but I was more skilled at dodging.
“Hmm... you’re rather quick, he stated”
I ignored his statement and started going on the offensive,
I was barely using half my strength with him,
I had to get this over soon so I can help the rest. I increased my speed and less than a minute later, I had already given him several punches and kicks, he fell to the ground and rather harshly, I picked both his legs and broke them with a kick,
I’m gonna be sorry for that later but I had to immobilize him and I can be honest, I actually just wanted to test if I can break his bone with a kick, The vampire cried in pain as his bones shattered.
Victor was still fighting with the two female vampires, he was rather keeping up with them but fighting two at the same time put them all in a stalemate, these vampires were older and a bit more skilled than the ones we’ve fought in the park.
I formed two water balls, I threw the first ball on one of the female vampires, she was knocked off her footing and fell for the ground. That gave me enough time to throw the next water ball at her, this time though as the water ball hit her, I turned it into ice, the ice ball shattered on her back and she clearly cried out in pain. I pulled some more water from the air and I lashed out against the female vampire with water whips, the whips leaving pink and red marks all over her, it was as if she’s been whipped all day from the looks of her. She couldn’t keep up with my lashing and she immediately fell on her knees to the ground, she was frantically trying to find a way to escape, she clearly did not expect this kind of attack coming from me, but as she thought of her escape, it was already too late for her, After a few seconds of collecting my energy and pooling the magic around me, I soaked her in water and then turned it all ice, her body was now frozen from the neck down, she tried to struggle against it but the ice was magic reinforced, she won’t be able to break it no matter how hard she tried.
Cage and Fred were still fighting with the werewolves. Both werewolves had knives with them but both Cage and Fred were able to handle them rather well. Cage and Fred’s fighting style were very aggressive and highly relied on brute strength, as the werewolves fought you could hear a growl or two every now and then.
With the other vampire down, it was easy for victor to overpower the other vampire and with his mind manipulating abilities, he gave her a very bad headache, the vampire started sobbing and vomiting on the ground. He had a hard time using his mind skills with both attackers earlier but now with just one, it was easier for him to concentrate.
Out of nowhere, the werewolf fighting against Cage pulled out a small gun. “Watch out!” Victor shouted. However it was too late as the werewolf was already pulling the trigger at that point and Cage was only coming to the realization that there was a gun pointed towards him. I had to do something and as we heard three consecutive gun shots, all were surprised when a golden magical shield appeared in front of Cage, the bullets hit the shield and immediately fell to the ground, the shield holding itself with no sign of failing, the shield was holding up.
“What the fuck?” The werewolf with the gun said. Cage at that point was clearly surprised as well. He saw me with my hand out directed towards him and
I only nodded towards his direction. Cage nodded back to me and mouthed “thanks”
I then sent Cage a gift by throwing an energy ball against the werewolf he was fighting with. This is something that just popped into my head,
I honestly did not know what that energy ball will do to the werewolf. Half a second later we find out it’s rather painful to be on the receiving end of the said energy ball, it burned the back of the werewolf, burning through his shirt and leaving a burn mark in his back, he immediately fell to the ground in pain.
Less than a minute later, with his peers defeated, the werewolf fighting Fred got severely distracted with their impending loss, Fred was then easily able to defeat the rogue werewolf.
Looking around at his defeated colleagues, Denver jumped away from August and said “shit...”
He paused for a bit as if to weigh his options, “this isn’t over” he said as he made a run for it.
Both August and Victor made a run for the now escaping Denver, however Denver was rather fast. He kept distance from the two guys running after him. I had to help them out and formed 4 ice balls from the air, three of which hit Denver making him fall to the ground, allowing my boyfriend and August to catch up and restrain him.
We all then gathered the defeated attackers to a cellar in the basement of the mansion. The thought of having a cellar in your own place had my mind running if possible theories as to why, but I let it pass for now. All of rogue attackers were tied up in a metal chair with chains and various restraining devices.
We didn’t have to ask them any questions as Victor only delved into their minds one by one. All their mental shielding were nothing to Victor’s skill. They all tried to shield their minds but we’re all just left sobbing as the pain of the mental invasion all gave them terrible headaches.
After the last person’s mind was read, August asked Victor “so... what is this all about?, This doesn’t make sense”
Victor replied rather calmly but with a slight edge in his voice “The Blood Army... they’re making their move again, we’ll have to check with the other packs and Districts too, from Denver’s mind we weren’t the only ones to be attacked today”
“Why attack a wolf pack though?” I asked, I wasn’t aware that the Blood Army was fighting against the werewolves now as well.
“They’ve changed their agenda, they’re not just against the Vampire Accords now, but they’re also now against the Werewolf Treaty, they’ve even recruited several more lone werewolves to their cause, this isn’t a vampire issue anymore, they’ve made it as their primary goal for both the Vampire and Werewolf governments to fall” Victor explained.
“We’ll have to let our respective councils know” August replied.
“Certainly... the higher authorities must be informed” Victor replied.
“What do we do about them though?” Cage said as he pointed to our prisoners.
“I’ll have the Vampire authorities handle the 4 vampires, you do what you want with the werewolves, they’re under your jurisdiction” Victor said.
“I’ll have the Werewolf council handle them as well, for the meantime, Cage... Fred... you both make sure these people don’t escape” August said as the three of us made our way out of the cellar so that August and Victor could inform their respective councils.
“So... how was it” Leo asked me as I sat down the couch in the living room, Arthur and Arnold have both left to check the immediate vicinity for any more threats.
“Nothing good... The Blood Army is making it’s move again, and this time, they’re also against the werewolves too” I said.
“This can’t be good” Leo muttered, his knees known against his chest as his arms wrapped around his legs. My best friend was clearly worried about how this situation would develop in the future.
“Yeah... I agree, this cant be good”
I replied.
