The Hybrid

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Sitting in the black SUV I felt the anxiety growing inside of me. We were on the way to the warehouse by the docks, the place my father told us about. As I thought about Alex, I prayed to anyone up there in the heavens to keep him alive along with Markus.

Last night after we got to the hotel we decided we would strike at daytime seeing vampires are weaker during the day. After that, I spoke to Liam on the phone to let him know of our plan and also gave him the address. They would meet us there. We didn't speak of the incident that happened in the apartment the day before and I was glad.

I glanced at the silver ancient daggers I took from Alex's room thinking they could come in handy against the vampires. The red and purple stones glistened in the sunshine as I held them in my hands, taking in every intricate detail in awe. Placing them in their sheaths and fasting them on my thighs I glanced out the window. Will and Sam chatted on and off the entire time but I blocked them out thinking about how the rescue was going to play out.

After nearly two hours of driving through the busy city, we finally got to our location. I perked up in my seat when the huge warehouse appeared in my vision. There was no fence around, just a huge metal warehouse right next to the water. I noticed there was no one around, it looked abandoned.

When I stepped out of the car, humid, salty air hit me in the face.

I gave questioning look to Sam "is that it?"

"That's the address your father gave us," Sam said scanning the surroundings.

The other SUV pulled behind us and four large intimidating looking werewolves jumped out.

"We need to wait for the slayers" explained Will to the warriors.

My eyes roamed all over the building. It was really quiet, the sloshing of water, colliding with the stone could be heard along with shrieks of birds that lingered by the water.

I walked towards the large double door and frowned. It was locked only by a simple padlock. Not even that strong one. I leaned my head closer to the door trying to listen to anything inside. Any movement, footsteps or breathing, anything. But it was eerily quiet in there. This can't be right. I thought to myself.

Several minutes later Liam and Olivia finally arrived. When they got out of the car, Olivia just looked at me, anger flashed in her sky blue eyes but didn't say anything. My heart sank, she was my only friend. I averted my gaze towards Liam. He seemed tense and when he met my eyes he whispered something to Olivia while they walked towards us.

"Are you ready" I found myself asking when they stopped in front of us.

"Ya we're ready" Liam answered emotionlessly.

As we began to walk I gestured for the rest of the werewolves to follow us. Once reaching the large double doors we dispersed into two groups. Sam, me and two of the werewolves line alongside the wall on side of the doors. Liam, Olivia, Will and the other two werewolves lined on the other side facing us. Sam nodded at Will and he walked to the door with large metal pliers and cut the padlock. It fell to the floor. I grabbed the two ancient daggers I had fastened on my thighs, feeling the uneasiness within me growing while Will opened the door.

We all peeked inside carefully and quietly. The inside of the warehouse was empty and dark, the only source of light came from the few large windows. Dust floated in the air as the light penetrated the darkness from the windows.

"It's empty, are you sure we are on the right address" Liam's eyebrows creased watching me, irritation rolled off of him.

"Yes that's the address" my voice sounded harsh, my eyes bored into his. Averting my gaze I stepped into the old dusty warehouse. I walked carefully, my eyes scanning every inch around me making sure there were no traps. Glancing behind me, everyone dispersed watching around themselves. Once I saw there was nothing around I stopped and shook my head in disappointment.
