Slade POV
Just as the vampires came rushing at us, the humans came out of from the van led by my uncle and stood behind us. Luciana raised her hand and stopped them from attacking us.
“Humans!” Luciana yelled not believing that we could come with humans. They didn’t expect us to come with humans.
“What is this? You bought humans to die because you have no one to help you!” Xavier mocked them and pointed fingers at Martin. “So you came with your uncle that was banished by your father a long time ago. You knew you will lose to us. That’s why you came with your human friends.” Xavier mocked yet again and pointed behind us.
“Martin,” Zepeda walked down towards my uncle, and as he got closer, the humans came to stand in front of my uncle. “You think some few humans will stop me from getting the throne?” Zepeda laughed like a maniac. “No one is taking this throne away from me!” He shouted.
“Shame!” Uncle Martin said and walked in-between the humans that stood in his way. “Zepeda!” He shouted.
My uncle walked towards Zepeda with his hands balled into fists on both sides. “You were the reason why my brother turned his back on me. Because of your stupid proclamation, I lost my right as a prince.”
I looked from my uncle to Zepeda. I knew both of them had a history together but I had no idea that Zepeda had joined hands in sending my uncle out of the castle.
“Blame your stupid brother for trusting me instead of his brother. The King had always wanted you out of the way because he believed you are a big problem and a threat to his throne!” Zepeda retorted and walked closer to my queen. They were both inches away and seconds from tearing each other apart. “Your brother never loved you. He was a crazy king and he deserves everything that happened to him.” He added.
Zepeda was right about my father but he had no right to mock my father’s name in his death. He had no right to call my father’s name when he had played a huge role in his murder. “You have no right to talk about my father like that. You bastard!” I yelled and lunged at him but my uncle pulled me back.
“What? You hate hearing the truth,” Zepeda scoffed. “Your father is much worse than your grandfather. Why are you siding with the humans now when your descendant started the vampire rule. You hypocrites!” he shouted and pointed fingers at all of us. ” you are not going to change the rule when I’m about to become King!” He yelled.
“You bastard!” Kyle rushed towards him and landed a punch on his face. “You killed my father and mother. How dare you?” Kyle lay on top of him and hit him repeatedly on the face until he was pulled away by Teale.
“That’s enough!” Teale shouted at him. “He is trying to piss you off to get what he wanted. We need to capture him.”
“Capture who?” Luciana responded. “I think you are making a mistake Teale. No one is escaping from our clutches and not even your human army can save you!” She pointed out.
“How did you become this Luciana?” I questioned her because I believed something had made her change and I wondered what it could be so out of curiosity I decided to ask. “Why are you doing this? Why are you bent on destroying everyone?”
“You are seriously asking that Slade. Where is your girlfriend?”She walked towards me with her hand behind her back.” you’ve hidden her somewhere I can’t find her right?” She scoffed. “You are crazy!” She shouted and rushed towards me. In a blink of an eye, she was in front of me with her hand on my throat. “You are the reason why I turned this way!” She yelled.
“Because of you, I longed for something that will never be mine for centuries!” She shouted. “I tried so hard for you to like me but no, you didn’t. When Bianca came, I knew I had to do something to get rid of her and I did!”Luciana laughed like a maniac. ” I framed her and I did the same with Gabriella but that bitch,” she cursed. “She escapes my trap!” Luciana scoffed and tightened her grip on my neck.
I didn’t bother to fight back because I knew that I’ll just be wasting my time. “If you don’t become mine then no one will!” She yelled and slashed my throat. “You are mine!”She said possessively and raised her hand to slash my throat again but I grabbed her hand this time and twisted it behind her. ” yes, I never gave you my heart because you don’t deserve it. You mean nothing to me! You are a clueless bastard just like your father! Gabriella is the only one I have ever loved.” I declared.
“You bastard!” Luciana tried to fight me but I didn’t let her. She heaved a sigh and glared at me with tears rolling down her face. “I am a fool ain’t I?” She sniffed. “I guess I fell in love with someone I shouldn’t have!” She shouted and freed her hand from my grip. “I guess our ill-fated relationship ends here!” She shouted and raised her hand as a signal to the newly turned vampires. “Attack!”
The vampires rushed towards and attacked like they had been trained to do so. “Once you and your family die, the vampires will keep ruling!” Luciana shouted.
I knew she meant every word she had said but I wasn’t going to allow that happened. I was going to fight back and make sure the humans and other creatures will leave happily ever after. The vampires fought hard against the humans and in return, the humans did the same. With every cry and scream of the vampires, I knew we were going to lose in the fight.
“Give up!” Xavier shouted. “There is no way you can fight this vampire on your own with a bunch of humans!”
“I think you are forgetting something or maybe I didn’t mention it earlier,” Uncle Martin yelled back. “The humans ain’t just any humans. They are trained to become hunters and the only stopping them from attacking the vampires is because we wanted peace. Give up now and I wouldn’t introduce the hunter method.”
“Words without action Martin. There is no way humans can fight vampires on their own. They are all weak and they are nothing.” Zepeda argued and laughed like a maniac. “Go on with the fight!” He ordered.
“If this is how it’s should be then I’m sorry I must do this!” Uncle Martin whistled.
The humans responded by pulling out daggers from their pockets. The daggers were sharpened and on each dagger was writing or so I thought. “Daggers? What can daggers do?”Luciana questioned.
” They are trained to kill and that’s how they are!” Uncle Martin whistled again and the fight continued but this time, the humans had the upper hand. They fought against the newly turned vampires without mercy. The way they moved like the wind and attacked the vampires made me wonder if all the creatures could live together as one. The humans wouldn’t want to live with the vampires that had made their lives unpleasant from the beginning. They wanted revenge on the vampire but that’s wasn’t what we planned.
“Uncle, what are you doing?” I pushed down the vampire that I held in my hand and walked towards my uncle. “This wasn’t our plan! ” I shouted. “No one has to get hurt!” I shouted.
My uncle slit the throat of two vampires and pushed them down. He wiped his hand stained with blood on his clothe and grabbed the collar of my shirt. “You think the world will end if the vampires are still alive. I have lived with few humans and I understand how they live so this enmity will continue forever and no one can change it!” He lets go of me and pointed around us. “Look around you. No one wants to end the fight because everyone wants to dominate.”He pointed towards Luciana and her father. ” look at them! They are happy that their puppets are fighting for them. They don’t care if they die, they are just after the throne!”
“The vampires,” I kicked a vampire who rushed towards him and twisted his hand. “They are harmless vampires who are acting on their orders,” I referred to Luciana and her father. “They are not fighting and letting them die! Please stop this fight!” I shouted.
“The vampires need to be eliminated!” He retorted.
“But we are vampires too. Are the humans going to get rid of us too?” I questioned him because I had no idea why he would want to terminate all the vampires. Not all vampires are bad. “I disagree with you! The war is supposed to end in peace uncle without anyone dying. That’s the only way to live in harmony. ”
“There will never be harmony unless all the vampires die!” He retorted and grabbed me pulling me closer to him. “Come to your senses, Slade. As the future king, you need to make certain sacrifices for peace to reign.”
“That’s doesn’t mean I’ll let vampires die.”
“They are insane! They are not in the right mind!” My uncle retorted and from how he was bent on destroying the vampires, I knew the fight was not going to end peacefully and I needed a way to stop it.
Just as I pondered on what to do, a car drove from nowhere and went into our midst causing everyone to run away from its reach. I looked closer at the car and recognized it as mine.
“Whats was Gabriella doing?” I thought as she continued to drive into their midst causing them to separate. Everyone gathered around as the car stopped in the middle of everyone.
The car door opened and Gabriella stepped out in all of her glory. “What the hell are you all doing?” She shouted.
“Gabriella!” I shouted and rushed towards her. I grabbed her hand and tried to push her into the car but she refused. “What are you doing?”
“Trust me,” she pushed my hand away and shouted on top of her lungs. “You are all crazy! If you all kill yourselves. Who will be left in the world?” She questioned? “Can’t you see what they are doing? They are trying to turn your back against each other!”Gabriella shouted.
” Awesome!” Luciana clapped her hands as she made her way towards Gabriella. “I see you are around because you survived my trap.” Luciana laughed and circled her. “You think they’ll listen to you. Nobody wants peace. Everyone wants war and no one wants to be inferior to the other!” She shouted and grabbed Gabriella’s hand but I came in between them and jerked Gabriella’s hand free from hers.
“Gabriella get in the car. I have this situation under control.” I ordered and pointed to the car for her to enter. “Get into the car!” I shouted.
“There is no way I’m entering the car. I am going to solve this and help everyone!” She shouted and walked closer to Luciana. Standing face to face with Luciana, Gabriella pointed a finger at Luciana. “I am going to save the world whether you like it or not and even if you kill me right now, I will be reborn because it’s my destiny to be reborn.” Gabriella challenged her with words that got Luciana rolling her eyes.
“You must have confidence since you’ve been reincarnated like two times,” Luciana scoffed.
“It’s three.” Gabriella retorted. “I have been reincarnated three times!”
“Well, I know about that”Luciana retorted.
” Everyone can leave a good life if we all stay together. Fighting isn’t going to solve this war. If we all can stay together and…” In a blink of an eye, two vampires appeared and slit Gabriella’s throat with their claws. “I…” Gabriella choked on her breath and held her throat as blood gushed out like a river and she fell towards the ground but before she could fall to the ground, I rushed towards her and held her hand
“Gabriella!” I shouted as she fell into my arms.
“I…….”Gabriella stuttered and held her throat. ” I… Love…”
“Stop talking!” I shouted at her. “I am going to save you.”
“No, you can’t because the dagger is laced with vervain meaning your blood won’t heal her even if you try. I already planned this out and even if you turn her into a vampire, she will die. “Luciana laughed and clapped her hands.
Gabriella stopped choking and went limped in my hand. As she closed her eyes, tears rolled down her face. If only she had listened to me and stayed in the car then she wouldn’t have died.
” she has killed mate. Attack her!” My wolf shouted in my head.
“You did this!” I shouted and I couldn’t recognize the voice as mine as it sounded loud and powerful. I growled and stood up from the ground as I gently lay Gabriella on the ground. “How dare you?” I growled and felt my bone cracks I shifted into my wolf.
I was going to kill Luciana in the most gruesome manner and no one was going to stop me.
