Sold: The UnderWorld (Book 5)

Move It Or Loose Her

Luna: 

"Hello Lucifer" I said as I took a step backwards. 

"Hello Luna, you look well" he said. I took a step backwards and he took a step towards me. 

"How did you find me?" I demanded to know. 

"Lucky guess" he told me. I could tell by his mocking grin that it was no lucky guess.  

"I suppose you won't come easily?" He said, but my eyes were focused on the small, brown furred wolf behind him. It lunged, a roar-like snarl tearing from its throat, and its dripped with venom. Lucifer turned as its fangs sank into his shoulder. He tripped, his head hanging off the edge of the roof. His foot kicked Grace away towards the ledge, but I caught her just in time. Lucifer stood up, and moved towards me. 

"Hello Lucifer" said another voice.

William: 

I glared at Lucifer who glared back. My breath was as cold as ice with my mood, and the look in my eyes. I sighed, all my fears for Luna coiled in my mind. Lucifer's strong posture wavered, become weak with my paralyzing stare.  

"So you can manipulate your own emotions and manipulate others with? Not a bad trick" Lucifer said. He was breaking hold of my glare, and my own power was begining to turn on me.  

"Seems you vampires always have a.trick up your sleeves" Lucifer said.  

"And for as long as history has told vampires have always been true to their word. Archangels and demons have a history of lying to claw their way to power" I replied. 

"Vampires drain the life out of their prey, mosquito's" he shot back. 

"Archangels were supposed to uphold the law of what's right, but you sir have, and always will burn in hell" I snapped. Fear crossed his face, and he stumbled backwards. I broke me hold on him allowing him to flee.

I nearly collapsed. I hadn't practiced my hold on people in a very long time. I had first discovered it... When mother and father died, and I stopped using it regulary after meeting Rosella because I had no reason to inflict pain and fear on others mentally, not when I had her. 

"William are you okay?" Violet asked. She helped me up to my feet. 

"Its not safe here" Rosella whispered. She wrapped her arms Luna who looked grim. 

"I have to leave don't I?" She asked.  

"Yeah" Rosella replied. 

I almost felt it in my born-dead heart when she said that, but if she didn't go there was a chance we'd loose her.

It was morning when we stood at the door. 

"You be carefull" I told her. 

"Uncle William, chill" Jasper said. 

"Chill?" I asked him, "Just what are you trying to say?" I asked. 

"Chill, it means relax. I've created a new word" Jasper said. I rolled my eyes. Grace, Jasper, Luna, and Edmund linked hands. 

"Be safe" We all said as they disapeared into Luna's shadow. I order to keep them from being tracked out of the castle they would travel away a few miles by shadow. The only way they could be tracked was by someone with a tracking power, and the only vampire I knew with that power was long dead.

Luna:

"So where do we go first?" I asked. 

"I just know we're heading to Sweden, north" Edmund said, 

"I also know there's a train heading up that way" he added. 

"Then what's stopping us, lets move" Jasper said. 

"Uh the fact that we're children of rich, powerfull vampire's" Grace reminded him. 

"Grace is right. In war people of all families pick sides. We may run into a variety of families kinds. Ever heared of vetala's" he asked. We didn't respond, and so he continied, 

"We are vampires, the humans with greater strength, imortality, but also those that must feed on blood to love. Werewolves are the humans with a wolfish nature. Their bodies are made to change into ba wolf, but they share a wolf's wild, dangerous instinct. Vetala, are humans with a snake-like nature. Its unknow whether or not they can.shape shift into snakes, but they are just as dangerous" Edmund said. 

"What's their weakness?" I asked. 

"I'm not sure. It's rumored they are weak to silver" Edmund said. Jasper grinned and held up his hand which turned to a shiny metal, silver. 

"My call then" he said.  

"Show off" I teased with a playfull punch. We began running with vampiric speed. The air was cool and damp. At first I was upset about leaving the castle because of Luke, and Lucifer, but I was happy here. Away from home on an adventure. We came upon a town. 

"Here we go" Jasper said, but before he could walk out any further he was stopped by Edmund. 

"You idiot, we're out of our own country. Not all human's are entirerly vampire-friendly" Grace said. 

"Jasper" Edmund snapped, "Vampire's have all eternity to learn, but that gives us no reason to waste our early years. Start learning now, and maybe one day you can take my place as head of Military Strategies" Edmund told him. Jasper couldn't have looked more thrilled at this statement. 

"Lets go, casually" Edmund said. We walked into the town. The town was busy, much busier than villages back home. A man near small store was playing music on some kind of horn. 

"Its an alphorn" Edmund told us. A lady beside the man playing sang out in high notes. My over sensitive ears ached painfully. Edmund moved is along the street away from the beautifull music. Edmund stopped, and leaned against the nearest building, his eyes becoming unfocused as he used his ability. 

"Come on" he finally said. We followed him down the streets before stopping at an alley. He looked around cautiously before walking down the alley.  

"Wait here" he told us. He entered the small store. It smelled of candle fragrances. He ermerged from the store with a small bag. He handed.us a few bottles. 

"What is this? Fruit Punch?" Grace asked. I took a sniff, and the sweet.smell of A-positive met my nose. 

"Not everyone is vampire-friendly, but some are" Edmund said. 

"But I don't drink blood" Grace complained. 

"Your still part vampire, you'd be surprised how much stronger you could be if you gave into that side" Edmund told her. We left the alley. The smell of human food met my nose. I hadn't really cared much for human food, but I was part human and the scent aroused my senses. Sweet, and tangy scents made my mouth water a bit. 

"Maybe in another time we'll shop around a bit" Edmund said. Lightning flashed in the distance. The streets began to clear as rain began to tap on the streets and windows. Something tapped my shoulder, and I turned around. I was suddenly pinned to the ground by some random person. Some where nearby I heared Edmumd, Grace, and Jasper. 

"Get the fuck off of me!"Edmund said. He raised a foot and kicked... Edmund off of himself. The attackers stepped back. Their eyes glowed white. 

"Oh shit, shapeshifters" Edmund said. We backed away from the enemy, as they stood as exact clones of us.
