(MxM) Tales of a Shifter (P4)- The Blood

Chapter 54 - For Them

Chapter 54

No...NO!!!
Brandon thought as his mind and heart started to spiral.

The moment Erin woke up, her hazel eyes swept around the room with a frantic fear, searching desperately for something. In seconds she spotted Drin her mate and a soft whimper/cry tumbled from her lips.
Drin who had fallen into a motionless heap after Hovel had kicked him seemed to instinctively sense her distress and he moaned out loud. With tears rolling down Erin hissed and went form looking at him strait to looking at Brandon and then at Hovel and Jacob.

"Brandon..." she started to say, and tried to move up onto her arms, but with a frail whimper, she laid back down on the ground. The giant gash in her shoulder gushed blood and her face flushed with pain and sickness.

Her cut and bloody arms instantly wrapped around her small belly. And her eyes filled with horror then....fresh tears as she seemed to listen the soft heartbeats still echoing inside of her womb, signaling that her child was still alive.

Everything in Brandon wanted to go to her.

Brandon's express horror Hovel marched over to the girl and violently stepped on Erin's chest, ramming her back into the carpet as he stood over her. And savagely stumped his left foot into the bloody gash in her upper shoulder, making her scream out in agony.

"STOP!!! Stop! Take me! Just take me and go!" Brandon cried and suddenly with a growl Jacob spun him around and with a cruel hand he grasped Brandon's hair and ripped his head back exposing his throat to the sky. A silver of fear struck Brandon in the stomach in that moment. Part of him feared the pain that was about to come but mostly he feared what Jacob and Hovel would do next. Still holding Brandon by the hair Jacob looked over and snarled at the Grand Master in frustration.

"Dammit Hovel!" He barked, speaking over Erin's snarl of vengeance as the young healer hissed weakly up at the Alchemist causing her pain. "We don't have time for this. When I do injure him...Get ready to go....We can't have Brandon bleed out entirely before we get back to the Base."

Hovel seemed to be ignoring Jacob as he drew back, and slammed his foot into Erin's arm once more making blood gush across the carpet. Overcome by pain Erin's eyes rolled up into her head and she went lip on the ground.

"Fuck Hovel! We need to leave before we run into anymore distractions!" With a careless and painful shake of his fist Jacob jerked Brandon around and presented him with a growl to the Grand Master. "We have the power we came for....Now we need a portal out of here before the fucking Elders pop up!"

A portal? Huh?

Brandon echoed confused by the term. But with his hair locked in Jacobs's claws he couldn't think about much else except what was transpiring in front of him....and whether or not Jacobs words would reach the dangerous and unpredictable Alchemist.

Brandon didn't care about the fact that they were going to take him away. He just didn't want Erin and Drin to die. No one deserved to die because of him.

There was a swift pause, then Hovel sighed as if he were exhausted.

"Fine...what are you waiting for then?" Hovel said as he turned and went over to the Ghoul.

The beast was still wheezing and sprawled on the ground, chocking to death on its own blood and bile.

A flash of black light engulfed Hovels right hand, turning into a soft black halo full of strange misshapen symbols that shimmered and danced over his palm. He cast the pitiful creature a cold look and centered his hand over its misshapen face. A sharp flash of black and with a "Crack" the beasts face and head exploded backwards, spreading a fountain of foul blood and brains all across the wall. Then Hovel turned back to Jacob with a blank expression. "Take his power Jacob and let's go. This room is too small for a Portal to materialize safely....We need to go outside. Now."
