Selene cut her mick off, something didn’t seem right. “Jazzy, something isn’t right. I don’t get the scent of any creature. I don’t scent any rogues, or vamps, all I get is human blood… something’s not right here. Why are we here to ambush a human village?”
Jazzy looked at her, as did Caleb, and Miranda. “I know, I was asking myself the same thing.” Miranda answered.
“Guys, focus… if Colonel Coelhelm says this is the place we have to ambush, then that’s what we gotta do. No questions asked, remember?” Caleb answered.
“Ok, yeah…. but that’s because before, I could smell the scent of a rogue or a vampire. But now….
something isn’t right… this could easily be a trap we gotta stay alert.”
“Ok, but you know we are not allowed to go up there unless they call us over. If we go against James word we could get in so much troub-”
“May I remind you that Selene is an alpha in this group too. Not just James. If she says we gotta fucking move over there and save their ass then that’s what we fucking do.” Jazzy yelled.
“Enough!” Selene yells.
“If we get called, or we see the necessity to go, then we will move. Until then, we stay at our position. Is that understood?”
“Yes Alpha!” They say in unison.
They stayed in position, Selene looked through her scope, she could see them nearing bit by bit to the village.
Everyone walked about as normal. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But yet,. something told her,
there was gonna be a big blood bath, and innocent people were going to die.
James stopped by the first building. She could see he was communicating through his ear piece with someone. She tapped on her key pad on her sleeve to try and enhance her hearing, she somehow was able to hack onto his conversation, muting her voice to avoid being caught in their new invader.
“Ok, in position. Waiting on your command. ” she hears the voice of James.
Then she here’s a voice that is unfamiliar to her. A husky man’s voice, a bit of a British, maybe a Londoner’s accent on the other side of the line.
“Exterminate them. I want no one alive. Do you hear me? No one is to be left alive. We can not take any chances. Every man, every women, every child. I want them all dead.” The husky voice says.
“Yes sir.” James replies, gesturing them to continue with their mission.
One by one, the team ambushed in to the middle of the village. And for the first time since her first mission, Selene looks away. Tears running down her eyes. She knows something is awfully wrong. The people in the village are running frantically.
No one seems to be shifting. She realizes they are all normal humans. They run from one place to the other, scared, vulnerable. Kids grasping on to their mothers, fathers blocking their way from harm to protect their wives and young ones.
“James, what the fuck is going on? Why is no one shifting? We were ordered to come here and kill creatures not humans.” Selene yells on her piece trying to make sense out of the situation.
“Not now Selene. I’m busy. Your job is to make sure you take out anyone that may be ambushing us remember? So do your job and protect the fucking team. Stop distracting me.” He yells on his piece.
She angers, her eyes becoming dark, and her grip on her gun tighten. She pulls the trigger, a stray bullet passing just inches by James. He looks towards the direction the bullet came from, growling loud.
He knows he just pissed her off. She’s demanding answers, and he knows he can not give them to her now.
“Alright… that’s enough Selene. You wanna fucking kill me? Do it. I’m waiting,… take your fucking shot. But I’m just here doing my job, just like all of us are. Including you.” He says, raising his hands towards his sides, giving her an opportunity to take a shot.
“Fuck you James… I want answers… and I want them now. Otherwise, I’m taking my team, and you can deal with this shit on your own. So talk now!”
“I don’t know ok. I’m being honest. All I know is, there’s something bad here, and they need all these
people dead before anything bad happens. I’m sorry Selene, but this is our job. Kill, no questions ask did
you forget?”
“That’s because each assignment has been to protect our own kind, and humans remember? That was the point of this group…. to protect humans and werewolves not kill them!”
“Enough Selene. We are over with this discussion. Do your fucking job and protect the team.”
“Whatever James this is fucking wrong, and you know it.”
Selene and James were so engulfed in their argument, they failed to see the creatures merging from the north direction of the village.
“Shit, shit, Selene. we got visitors, twelve o’clock!” Caleb called out.
Selene glanced her scope over. She could see a massive group of vampires running at full speed towards the village. She could already smell them. The stenge of their blood making her nose flinch.
“Fuck,… James… it looks like a group of vampires are heading your way. Be on the look out. Twelve o’clock. ” she warned him.
He looked shocked, he warned his group, making them full alert, ready for battle. They had Exterminated most of the village by now. Houses and shacks were being set on fire. Farm animals running about and away from the village.
She could smell their blood. Realizing they were not regular vampires, but rather primordials. Harder to kill, if James found himself out there alone, he was going to be in trouble. Only a few things could kill a primordial vampire…. and none of them knew it…
Except for her and Jazzy.
“Shit Selene?” Jazzy calls to her.
“Yeah?” She looks frantically at her, Jazzy shaking and afraid.
She knows the power these vampires emit. They aren’t just any regular vampires. Their force is by far superior, their strength the same as three regular old vampires.
