A Hunter's Curse

Chapter 14: werewolves vs vampires part 1

After breakfast, the pack set off under the pretence of a rescue party for the captives when really their main purpose was to annihilate the enemy. Mileena rode next to Manak her face not giving away any of the pain she felt inside, she noticed the concerned glances coming her way from both her mother and Manak but chose to ignore them both as the journey continued.

By nightfall they had set up camp, they had covered two days worth of journey already and would have went on if it were not for the exhausted horses.

Sitting next to Manak by the campfire, she marvelled at how just days before she would not have hesitated to kill him and yet here she was now, two enemies now friends....no, we are more then friends she thought and gave a weak smile but her smile quickly turned to disgust when she remembered what she carried NO! I will not think of such things, i will rid myself of this cursed child soon but i must focus on the battle tomorrow, Dracula MUST pay!

The next day, everyone was tense, this is the day that will determine which was the ultimate species the great werewolves of the Chemboor Tribe or the vile, slimy vampires from the ancestors knew where.

The alpha set off in a gallop, his wife, Mileena and Manak all by his side as the horses hooves thundered on the dry dusty planes, soon enough the Myaka tribe's tepees could be seen in the far distance, this gave the alpha renewed determination as he thundered his way faster towards the salutes of the tepees.

The pack dismounted right by the outskirts of the tepees with their shadows stretching under the now blazing sun.

"I smell blood," said Manak, a hungry look in his eyes. Milena glanced over at him with a worried look and placed her hand on his arm before he could advance. "Don't, remember what my father said, he won't hesitate to kill you if one drop touches your lips."

Manak shook his head as if to clear his head of a compulsion that only he felt" You're right, sorry i don't know what came over me, i think it was the blood, i..." he stopped mid sentence as he caught sight of Mileena's father signalling him to keep quiet and nodded his head in acknowledgement as he gave a weak smile to Mileena.

Everybody urged their way foward and suddenly a deep, strong voice resonated through the camp from the biggest tepee " Well, well, well looks like my little whore is back and what's that i smell? She's pregnant?"

Mileena's eyes widened with fury and she began to shake with anger and loathing as Manak tried to restrain her from doing something stupid.

"What is this slimy demon talking about?" Asks the alpha as he slowly began to morph into a wolf and a furious growl escapes his throat.

"Mileena is pregnant and its all his fault" replies his wife as she points towards the tepee and also begins to morph

"THEN HE SHALL PAY!!!!" replied the alpha in a gutteral voice and he leaps towards the tepee as his pack all morph and follow in his wake. Unable to control the urge to get to Dracula and rip his throat out, Mileena easily breaks free from Manak's strong hold, morphs and also bounds towards the tepee where a fight had already ensued. Manak drew his knife and a stake and soon joined the fray.
