• Chapter Three: The Battle but not the War


    Lin had smelt new meat in the air as she stocked after the frantic shifter, to her senses it was a vampire, a strong one at that and shifter. Lin couldn't tell what animal the beast was, that made her frown, she had not sensed one shifter that she couldn't tell what animal it was.

    Lin was tempted to turn back and focus on the vampire and the unknown shifter though once she had begun the hunt she had to see it to the end.

    Lin reached the beast, pulling the low animal to the ground and holding her knife to its neck, as the one before it was in its human form, a young boy again, not looking over 18, red hair and brown eyes stared up at her tears streaming down his face but the anger still shone through his fear.

    “You pathetic beast's have no pride, why don't you meet death with some dignity” Lin stared down at the friend shifter, her eyes shining with joy and eagerness.

    The shifter spat into her face, Lin's eyes growing dark as she whipped it away discussed that the germs of this beast dared to touch her skin.
    “You are the evil b***h! Killing our kind like a blood sport it's disgusting, your place in hell is begging for you to return you monstrous thing!” The shifter yelled his grip tightening on Lin's wrist, pulling it away.

    “Oh you poor thing, you're so stupid that you can't understand that you're a disease in the world, your whole kind is, it's poisoning the human race like a sickness, you and yours are try to lure them in telling them that you are just like us but I can see through your lies, your death will be praised by my kind and I will be their savour over the illness spreading through the cities of the world!” Lin's eyes burnt with the hatred for the beast quivery in front of her, the rage that grew inside her fueled her desire to end thing mindless animals exitants, she took out her large knife and lumed it over the shifter's head, ready to slice him down the middle at anytime. But then the was silence a a burning pain in her stomic, she felt her blood curdle in her throat and falling from her mouth. Lin looked doing to see a long sword sticking out of her, the silver blade covered with blood, her blood.

    “Who... why... I don't..... I don't understand” came Lin's confused words
    She turned her head to see who had delt the blow. Standing behind her was the vampire she had dismissed so throughtlessly.

    “You are the devil and I am the angel, I am here, to send you back to hell” The vampires cool words washed over Lin as she felt the darkness nipping at the sides of her vission.

    Lin tried to breathe, but only coughed as she fell to her knees her head still turned looking at her killer.
    “I will be back for you vampire, and I will feeling the wind blow strong with your ashes” With that Lin was gone in a shimer of shadows.

    That settled it for Chara, Lin wasn't even close to human. Looking down at her blade she saw the black blood covering her knife, it looked as the it was from a long dead human.

    Looking back to the shifter Lin had tried to kill she reached out her hand for the shifter but something didn't feel right.
    All of a sudden the shifter began to mold into something different, now standing in front of her was a man.
    'What happened to Neileous?' Chara thought as she started to back away.

    “You are the one the elders sent to destroy my pet?” The man asked, his purple souless eyes starting into Chara's cold black depths. “Oh vampire, you show have staied in tonight” The man smiled at Chara, sending shivers down her spine.

    “Where did Lin go and who are?” Chara asked, trying to keep her body from tremberling, this man made her feel like a child, his power overwhelming her senses, she couldn't focus her eyes or move her legs to at least run away and get help.

    “Oh vampire, or should I saw Chara” the mans smile turned evil as he reached a hand out towards her.

    “Don't touch me!” Chara screamed, this wasn't right, Chara was... frightened, it wasn't meant to be this way.
    The man laughed at the child like manner Chara prosented to him. The man grabbed Chara's arm and pulled her closer, still keeping eye contact with her.

    “I will play with you again soon my sweet, I will take my leave, there is a pet at home that needs mending”
    And with that the man was gone in the same shadows that Lin had been taken by.

    Chara fell to the ground her legs unable to keep her standing, her body shivering and tears running down her face.
    “Who was he, what did he want with me, why couldn't I attack or run” Her face was void of emotion but her body and voice were shaken, she couldn't stop herself from crying.

    After a few moments Chara took a deep breath and picked her sword up and returned it to it's sheath.
    “What did he want with me” Chara asked herself still feeling his touch in her mind trying to over take her.

    Walking down the path she made her way back to the clan her vission still unfocused. She had paid no attention to Kai standing at the gate talking to her or the elder's messenger telling Chara to go to a meeting, all she did was walk to her room, lock the down. With the door locked she could let go.
    Chara crubled to the floor curling up and wrapping her arms around her as she shaked of fear, her breath coming out in gasps as she cried.
