Reanimated: The Round Table Chronicles 1

The Treaty

Rafella and Anjelik stomped into Sir's throne room.

“God how did she deal with him for 600 years” said Anjelik

“Lancelot can't you please do something?” begged Rafella

“What's he done now?” Sir replied

“He still thinks Miracle's a spy” said Anjelik fixing her lip gloss

Suddenly a guard burst through the door.

“Their here Sir”

“Show them in then” he growled

*

Miracle nerves were fraying quickly as the guard ran to get Sir. Marshall placed a hand on her leg stopping it from bouncing as they sat. He then held her hand. A spark shot to her heart one of protection, she looked at the boy with golden eye, brown hair with natural blonde highlights, the tight muscular body and the modern clothes it now bear.

“Proceed” came a voice in the speaker box

Miracle jumped ending her day dream. As they drove towards the skyscraper. Miracle could feel Sir's piercing eyes. A guard approached, Marshall stopped and rolled his window down.

“Park there and follow me” said the guard pointing to a parking lot

*

“Get Rallegh and Zayne” commanded Sir

Rallegh and Zayne entered the room.

“Perfect timing” said Sir

*

Miracle lead Marshall to Sir by dodging the security guard. When they entered the throne room Miracle joined Sir by his side.

“Your Lordship” he said bowing

“Your Majesty” replied Sir bowing

“You have the help of the Vegan Vampire Faction” said Marshall's Sir went to say something but Marshall stopped him.

“On one condition” he paused “The four faction leaders have to sign a temporary treaty not to kill the any Blood Thirsts”

Sir looked at each leader who in turn nodded their approval. Marshall stood in the middle of the wolves with no fear.

“Sir take my wrist” said Marshall

Sir did, then each faction leader put a hand on the hands of Sir and Marshall.

“Do you four leaders swear on an oath of blood to not attack the Blood Thirst faction?” asked Miracle

“WE DO” said the faction leader

A cut appeared and drops of blood drifted up becoming a Celtic circle and dropping down.

“With mixed blood thee I bind in alliance” said Miracle

*

Meanwhile Sawyer tried against all odds to find Marshall.

“Damn it to hell, how could they let him go” said Asher

Suddenly four factions of wolves appeared.

“Boy what a rush” said Rallegh

Marshall emerged dazed, leaning against the counter he dinged the bell. Fransway appeared a look of fear on his face.

“Monsieur” he said

“Look buddy he's no monster” said Rallegh poking Fransway

“Zayne” said Marshall “It's french for sir”

“Ah” he said

“Genius” said Rafella

“Got enough room for them?” said Marshall

“Wee” he said

“Is that french to?” asked Rallegh

“Yes” said Anjelik

Soon everyone was settled in their rooms and Marshall slipped down to the vault room. Penelope, Sly and Cassandra were standing together holding a book.

“It's time you had this” said Sly holding the book to him

“What is it?” he asked

“The Kings Vampedia” answered Cassandra

The book was sapphire blue with brown leather straps.

“Every vampire sense the dawn of vampires is recorded in that book” explained Sly

“It must have taken years to write this” Marshall breathed

“No the books enchanted, it writes itself” said Penelope

As Marshall opened the book, h e got an idea. He turned and ran to find Miracle.

“Fransway where's Miracle?” he asked

“In zee dining room Monsieur” he replied

Marshall rushed for the dining room.

“Miracle!” he said

The door suddenly slammed shut as Kovu and Alanwee appeared.

“Good evening your Majesty” said Alanwee using a more Transylvanian accent

“Ah!” screamed Sawyer

“Sawyer – what is it?” asked Miracle

“Marshall he's in danger” he said through gritted teeth

“Where?” said Sir

“The dining Aargh room” he yelled

Sir and Miracle ran to the dining room, where Fransway guarded the door.

“Out of the way Frenchy” growled Sir

Fransway obliged with a cocky grin. Miracle and Sir burst in just in time to see Kovu and Alanwee disappear with an unconscious Marshall. A book lay where Marshall use to be. Miracle grabbed it. Sir roared and turned on Fransway. They then went downstairs Fransway in tow.

The vault was teeming with activity as each faction leader circled a chair.

“Where did they take him?” Sly commanded

Fransway's devilish grin didn't faultier.

“Back” he said

“Where you sic bastard!” roared Sir

“Morgana and Merlin would know” he replied looking at Sly and Cassandra

“They wouldn't” said Sly

“oh come on stop fooling around” he said all hint of a french accent gone

“What does he mean?” asked Miracle

Sir glanced at them, he already knew the story and so didn't Penelope, Excalibur and Rinejack.

“Huh” said Marshall

He woke up in a cell tower. He got up and walked over to the slit in the wall that looked out over the medieval landscape a voice called:

“Get use to it Scarborough, Because as of today your prophecy ends here”

“No Malik...this is just the beginning” Marshall replied turning to face him

Malik is a dying breed of vampire called a Blood Thirst, to survive he must feed on human blood.
