The lady who looked to be in her late twenties approached Dokura. She was dressed in leather jacket and pants with a red shirt within.
"You have no right to be here" Dokura challenge "Leave here, Asettra!"
"Don't test my patience. You've had your fun but not anymore. All of this madness ends now!" Asettra countered.
Dokura hissed and ran to where Assetra stood, glaring daggers at her. She merely stared down at him with a stoic look. It must run in the family, Jacob thought to himself.
"I reckon you're not going to go to your deathbed for a vampire now, are you?" He said smirking. "I'll release your brother and sister and their friends even though they had made a great mistake by interfering if that's what you want." He bargained.
She laughed shortly but immediately changed her expression to that of anger. Her eyes becoming a deep shade of green while canines were bared at Dokura.
"Release them all. Don't make me repeat myself" she growled
"Since when does the council interfere with affairs of other creatures!" He hissed out.
"Since we realized it's the only way to stop disgusting acts like you're doing now!" Another voice said. A man stepped forward and stood at Assetra's side. He was Zotu. Another member of the werewolf council. "Release them now or prepare for the other way, Dokura." He said
"Suit yourself dogs!" He hissed at diving at Zotu making the other vampires jump down to attack the elders.
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY SIS, YOU DEMONS!!!!" Jason exclaimed immediately transforming and ripping the chains. He charged into the battle ground.
The guards who held Chloe had also left her to go aid their master but unknown to them, Chloe had snuck a key out of one of their pockets. She ran and freed Red and Peter. She went and freed Eddie and saw him transform. The wolf stood watching her for a while. It leaned in and nuzzled her.
"Be careful" she whispered
"You too" she heard him whisper in her head before he runs off to help the others while she stood aside out of harms way.
Jacob hung yet again watching another battle unfold before him. He hoped that this would be the end of it all. He felt lightheaded as he had lost a lot of blood from his wounds. He heard a slash and once again.
Thud
He fell to the ground again except this time he didn't have the strength to look at the person. He knew he wasn't going to make it. His eyesight was blurry but he was able to make out the voice of his saviour.
Red.
She crouched beside him lifting his head a bit. He needed blood and she knew it. This wimp hadn't tasted blood before and now...she was going to lose him because of it.
"Jacob! Please don't close your eyes. Please!" She said shaking him slightly
"T..take care of your... yourself, Red." He stuttered out as he felt darkness encompass him.
"You fool if you say that I'll kill you!" She held his hand intertwining their fingers kissing his hand. "Please...just stay strong for me please."
"I...I can't." He coughs " Good...bye Red" he said closing his eyes.
"No! Open your eyes!!" She said shaking him. "DAMMIT OPEN YOUR EYES!!!"
The fighting stopped as everyone watched the scene unfold before them, with Red already in tears on Jacob still body. Assetra ran to her side hugging her sister close to her. What had caused the young vampire's death?
"He was supposed to heal, right?" She asked needing clarification.
"He had... hadn't drank...blood so he.. doesn't.." she said in between sobs
"HE'S DEAD! THE SACRIFICE IS COMPLETE!" Dokura exclaimed but was shocked as the vamps held angered expression on their faces. They didn't mean to cause this much harm. They were taught that the vamp had been in the wrong but things made more sense now. They had been in the wrong.
"You demon!" Jason said charging at the elder but someone beat him to it as a rod was thrust into Dokura's chest. Not just any rod.
An acetol.
Dokura's lifeless body dropped to the ground to reveal the culprit. It was Katherine, Mrs Whites. She dropped the rod and ran to Jacob's side carrying his head and checking his pulse.
"We can still save him! He needs blood!!" She cried looking around.
"No one is taking my blood" Jason said backing away.
Peter stepped forward to volunteer himself but before he could, Red bit into her wrist and put it in Jacob's mouth earning gasps from those around her.
"Urgh, sis!" Jason said disgusted
"Silence." Assetra said hushing her brother.
The blood dripped from Red's wrist into Jacob's mouth. She needed him to get well as she couldn't lose him. Not now anyways. She pulled her hand away and holds his hand hoping for the best.
"Please wake up, Jake" she whispered
Everyone looked expectantly at the young vamp. He showed no signs of life. All heads bowed as they knew what it meant. Katherine lean down and gave her boy a kiss. She never wanted this to happen. Red bowed, sobbing into his hands while Assetra stroked her back comfortingly.
Suddenly their grip tightened around each other. Not hers but...his. She shot her head up and stared at the hand that refuse to let her go. She saw him jerk and in seconds, went into a coughing fit while his mom stroked his back.
He looked up and saw faces staring back at him slowly turning to smiles. That's when it dawned on him, he was alive. He turned to the woman by his side. He didn't think he'd ever see her again.
"Mom" he said pulling her into a hug.
"You scared me. You nearly left me...if not for your friend." She said pointing at a certain red haired.
"That explains the coppery taste in my mouth." He said as realization dawn on him. He widening his hands for and embrace which she leaned in and embraced him.
"Alright. We're cool" Jason snorted "Can we go now?"
"Yes and get some food please?" Chloe said
"Of course bae. I got you" Eddie said lifting her up bridal style making her blush. He sees a lot working for them.
They all get up and leave the arena after thanking the werewolf council elders for their help. The other vamps had a change of heart. They wanted things back the way it was which the rest were happy for.
