UNDERWORLD WATCH

Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight.

The place was pretty much deserted since it's almost midnight. It's a good thing since it meant less witnesses. He watched as the waitress and cashier scurried into the back room.

Noah watched Robert from across the room. He stood tall and proud, a smirk on his face. Robert was a vampire. Older than him. Much older, a hundred more years or so. He was changed in his thirties, he's tall at least six feet. Taller than him, obviously, everyone just had to be, but slightly shorter than Ashton.

"Who's your boyfriend?"

"None of your business. Let's get this over with."

"Okay." He said and whistled.

Why did he whistle?

A group of five men walked in. From their pale skin, he knew they were vampires. Noah tensed as they arranged themselves behind Robert. At least now he knows why he had whistled.

"You brought friends." Noah said preparing himself for the upcoming fight. He had fought many people before and won but he wasn't sure how he'll fare while protecting Ashton. It's going to be tough.

"Okay then...why don't you let my friend here go. This doesn't concern him," he tried not sure if it could work.

"Why should I do that. Maybe he's your weakness, I've not met any of your friends."

Yeah, he'd figured it wouldn't work.  He just hoped Ashton won't get killed and neither would he. They still have to save Cammy. The kids life depends on him. If they die, she dies. Both at the hands of stupid vampires.

"Bring it on!"

They jumped to attack and Noah was quick to move. There's a reason he's not yet dead. Not many can beat him in a fight. He dodged the other vampires, kicking and throwing punches to reach his target.

Robert.

He could see him in his peripheral vision moving to Ashton, who was - surprisingly, holding his own against one of the vampires. But the other four kept going at him.

Ashton knew he had to do something. He knew Noah could really hold his own in a fight but he is not as focused since he wants to protect him. Even though he didn't need it. Noah was trying to intercept the ring leader who seemed to be heading his way.

Ashton knew he could end this pretty easily but he wasn't sure if he should. He isn't ready to expose himself yet.

Not even to Noah.

Noah was starting to get frustrated. He had to get Ashton out of there. He twisted the neck of the vampire close to him, letting him drop and turned to his other friends. Bringing his main focus on the fight, he let out a hiss. He grabbed two daggers from his belt.

The vampires were down within minutes growling in pain. He smirked at their state. These people should really learn. He turned and his smirk was replaced with a scowl.

It seems while he was distracted, Robert was able to reach Ashton. He had him on his knees his head tilted up exposing his neck where Robert had his clawed hand ready to slice it open.

Blood was flowing from gashes on his arms and thighs. Guess he fought hard, but it wasn't hard enough since he was going to die. Noah was sure that's what Robert was going to do, kill him. He had only waited since he wanted him to watch. Having friends was a weakness, that's why he doesn't have any. Even though Ashton was only an acquaintance. But Robert didn't know that. That's why he's going to kill him.

Robert smirked at him but a large blur tackled him down before he could speak. But his claw sliced through Ashton's throat. Noah was at his side in time to catch him before he could hit the ground.

Blood was flowing out of his mouth and he was struggling to speak.

"Shh, I'll take you to hospital."

But Ashton shook his head.

Why didn't he want to go to hospital?

"He'll be okay in a few hours," a voice said behind him. He had totally forgotten about their new visitors. But it was too late to act now. As he paid more attention to his surrounding, he sighed in defeat when he saw that they were surrounded. From their scent, he knew they were werewolves. A whole pack of them.

There was no chance of escape without being torn apart.
