The Vampire Assassin

Chapter 6

There are people swarming around me, trying to find a good spot to listen to this event. They treated Alesky Siatek like a god. I'm sure some though, saw him for what he really is.

I am positioned in the square southwest from the chapel. With me is Alex, the guy who had been looking at me before whose name is Piero, and a guy with blonde hair named Antonio.

We kept ourselves hidden between all the people because of all the guards. They wore red robes and black armor. Some held spears while others had swords at their sides. I moved my hand to make sure I had my sword. Of course I did. Alex had two daggers that I heard she is really good with. Piero had a sword as well as Antonio.

I tilted my head back down for I felt it rising. I stepped back to whisper to the others. "When you see the others follow me and we'll go through there." I pointed to a door that was two stories up from the ground. "From there we will fight our way through until we find him. When we do he's mine." I felt something change in my eyes, I don't know what though. "Why don't we just go through there?" Antonio said pointing at the spot where the pope will be three stories up."When he see's the fight down below he'll just run away through the door he came out of. I'm sure he would take his guards with him so there will be no one up there to stop us."

I thought about this. He was right, it would be an easier and quicker way to get him."But what about the archers? Being that high up they would see us and attempt to shoot at us." Everyone looked down, thinking about this until Alex piped up "I am not only good with my daggars but I am also good with a bow." She looks at me."Before Giovanni comes with the others I'll go ahead and be at the foot of the chapel. When the fight starts I'll be at the top before you know it. I'll cover you guys while you get up."

I smiled "Sounds like a plan." She nodded and started heading toward the chapel. So now me, Antonio, and Piero were waiting for the fight.

Soon everyone got quiet. I looked up at Alesky Siatek. He was wearing a white robe with red jewels all around it. He had a bald head with a little bit of a gray beard. He smiled as he looked down at everyone. "Welcome!" His voice boomed down to all of us. "This is a marvelous city we have isn't it." He started pacing. "We all live perfect lives with no one interfering."

Where is Giovanni I thought.

Instantly like he heard me I heard the clanging of swords and people screaming. "Come on!" I yelled to Antonio and Piero. We ran to the chapel. Pushing people as we went. I looked up and saw Alex climbing very fast up the chapel. I also saw Alesky looking down at the fight. He had a panic- stricken look on his face. Then he started running to the door. "Faster come on he's getting away.

We soon got to the chapel and started climbing. I heard arrows whirring above us. I made it up first followed by Piero and then Antonio. Alex had taken down all the archers.

I opened the door and sniffed the air. It smelled of wine and beer. We followed the scent. Running very quietly but fast. The chapel was made out of white stone with mosaic art all along the top of the ceiling.

When we went down a hall two guards were positioned by a door. "There get them!" one said. I grabbed my sword out and got into my defense position. Antonio did the same.

I lunged at one of them. He blocked it. The guard Antonio was taking care of lunged at him but Antonio deflected it and stabbed the guard in the stomach. Blood poured out. I was tempted to go over there. Everyone else didn't seem to mind it so I did the same.

My guard thrusted his sword at me but I knee'd him in the privates and tried to get him but he blocked my sword. He tried to get me again but he wasn't lucky this time. I twirled around him and stabbed him in the shoulder. "Well done."Antonio said to me. I nodded and put my sword back in its sheath.

We went through the door and were met by some more hallways. I sniffed again and went down a hallway on the right. We sprinted the rest of the way. Cutting through guards as we went.

Soon we caught up to the pope. Alex brought out her daggers and stabbed someone in the back. Piero and Antonio brought out there swords. Antonio sliced someones head off while Piero's blade was met by another.

A guard was coming toward me. I pulled out my sword and stabbed him in the stomach. Blood was everywhere it was overpowering. I exhaled and looked for the pope. He was still running with two guards at his sides. I grabbed out my throwing knives and threw them at the guards. The knives entered their head and they fell down instantly.

I sprinted toward the pope. I retracted my hidden blade that was attached to my wrist. I jumped and landed on the pope pushing the blade deep in the back of his neck.

All of a sudden everything was in slow motion, except for me and Alesky Siatek. I turned him over. Blood stained his teeth. "Why me?" he moaned. "You have been imprisoning these people. Keeping the real world out of their minds. Why?"

He coughed out blood. "Imprisoning? I was protecting my people. Who needs to worry about wars anyway. Its a bunch of rubbish if you ask me." He tried to laugh but then started coughing up blood. "But then you, morderca(assassin), ruined everything." He stared at me with pure hatred. Then his face turned into shock.

"Your eyes. Your eyes..." That was the last thing he said before he passed away.

I closed his eyelids and said "Spoczywaj w pokoju(Rest in peace)." I stood up and everything was back to normal pace.

I jogged to a guard who was fighting Piero and stabbed him with my hidden blade. Piero went on to the next one and so did I. Guards were pouring in from many halls. Alex stabbed a guard on the top of his head while Antonio started punching a guard in the face. Blood spitting out of his mouth each time Antonio punched.

Alex was onto another guard. This one had her cornered where she couldn't do much even though she was a vampire. I jogged toward him, jumped, and my hidden blade sunk into his neck. I rolled off him and saw a pool of blood start to form. I leaned toward it. My mouth watering. I felt someone pull me up. "Not now. We're still on a mission." I heard a female voice say. "I'm sorry." "Its okay now come on."

Soon there was only one left and Piero had him. The rest of us watched. Usually we vampires don't get in the way of other vampires fights. Piero had this guard sweating. He was tired but would not give up.

I smelled it before it even happened. As the guard was fighting his heart was beating faster. One of those beats though, brought a huge amount of blood into the guards system. We all smelled it. But Piero was the closest so when he smelled that blood he was on the guard in an instant.

Alex, Antonio, and I rushed toward Piero and lifted him off the guard. Piero's teeth were all bloody, his fangs were showing. He hissed at us spewing blood on our faces. His eyes were as black as the night sky. He thrashed and kicked and tried to bite us. Alex went over to finish off the guard. We hauled Piero out of the bloody room.

We climbed up some stairs onto the roof. We ran to the edge of the chapel and jumped onto another building. This was a small building so we hit the roof hard. Piero was still a mad man so we held onto him tighter.

We all jumped from building to building. Getting Piero away from people. We jumped down onto the street and hid ourselves by running to the alley way. We jogged the rest of the way to the hideout. I pushed the door open and we all ran inside.

I closed the door while Alex and Antonio were strapping Piero down in a steel chair. "Why are you doing that?" I asked them. "We do this whenever someone gets out of control. They can't break free from this." Antonio informed me. They stepped back to watch Piero thrashing wildly. He was trying to move the chair but it was bolted down.

Alex, Antonio, and I sat down against the brick wall. I closed my eyes listening to Piero hissing and screaming wildly. I hope it will be over soon.
