SHIFT 2 - Purgatory

Clash of clans

He lifted his head. The body in his arms was close to being exsanguinted. The pale face, eyes closed, was lulled back. Nagisa shook him. There was movement in the corner of his eyes.

"Give him to me, we can save him." Krystal appeared at her son's shoulder.

"Mom? Somethings wrong." Nagisa hissed.

His head spun, the dizziness made him stagger backward. No! He wasn't going out like this! They were going to have to fight him! He was more than a Romanari! He was a witch trained by the demon witch, Aradia, herself.

With a screaming cry, Nagisa flung his head back. He retracted his fangs. He screamed louder. He knew that no matter what, the dragon would be close enough to hear. The blood in his throat felt like fire burning through him. Nagisa had never done this without the symbols, but he knew it was the only way to save himself, not only himself... but his siblings.

The lightning struck across the sky as Nagisa's head fell between his shoulders. He cried out for it. One hand reaching up. The clear sky now streaked with lightening that sprang to the witches fingers.

"Stop him!" a voice yelled out in the haze beyond Nagisa.

"You will have to get through me first, witch killer!" A snarled response meant little to the half witch fighting to save himself.

The lightening found its host. It traveled through his body. Nagisa felt the blood burn away, it recoiled from the heat of the energy that shot through him. He staggered back, falling to one knee.

"Now isn't the time to be bowing to this slime, get on your feet, Nagisa!"

Seamus' voice rattled in his head. Nagisa lifted it. It felt heavy, muddled, but he could think clearly.

"Dad!" He moaned.

"Sorry, I'm not willing to give my life up for him." Seamus pulled Nagisa to his side. The half witch saw the blooded sword in the others hand.

"You were always better with long range weapons." Nagisa hissed.

"Yeah, well that hunter was closer than that." Seamus dragged the boy backward. They ducked behind a bush. There sat two women.

"You need to cleanse yourself." Semaus dumped Nagisa down in the laps of the women.

"And hurry, Marcus has already fallen." He added.

Nagisa licked his fangs. He grabbed the red head, sinking his teeth into her veins. Her blood was rich, pure and clear. It filled him like the coolest spring water. Yet he had to force himself to stop. Twisting he caught at the brunette. She didn't fight him, but offered her neck. He drank, filling himself to near bursting. These were bigger women, he was just a small femboy! One ready to take the faith his siblings had always had in him. He leapt up.

"Get a fuckign bow, you twat." He yelled at Seamus as he ripped the sword from the boys hands. Nagisa turned. His own sword was held out to him. His eyes met Akara's.

"He said you would need it. Also, there are about four dragons out here fighting." Akara sounded scared.

"Hide. Get the others to safety." Nagisa demanded.

He stormed back into the blood sorie. His brother Marcus was under the feet of the mighty red dragon, yet he wasn't being crushed. The whipping head was keeping everyone back. Xavier stood beside him, barely. He looked as if he was going to collapse at any moment. Faraday's long black hair cascaded over Marcus' shoulder. Ozzie was at Xavier's feet.

Nagisa glanced around. Benji, Ryu's dad was protecting Hari, Lucifer and Reginald. Wyvern hid, only half transformed beside a shed. Nagisa glanced at him.
