The Wolf in Me

Chapter 17: Battle of the Immortals

Ethan POV

I was one day hanging out with Daron, it was a normal day but the sky was mysteriously cloudy.

I did tell him much about how I felt, and he seemed to understand because he said that he was of a darker power. He said that his ancestors could control fire and shadow, and he could also summon demons of fire and darkness, pretty much.

We were just talking when I saw that Alice was alone on a cliff, I wanted to tell her how I felt but I couldn't say to her. I wanted to tell her but was stopped by myself.

"Go for it, do not fear." Daron told me, and then he disappeared from the place (magic!).

Well, I had to muster up all my courage, and I did. I walked towards her wanting to tell her how I felt.

"Hey Alice!"

"Hey Eth! Nice to see you man."

"Hi! How're you?"

"I'm fine, you?"

"Well, I'm training."

"I hope you become strong."

We looked into each other's eyes for a moment and then it was clear, I tried to tell her that I loved her but couldn't. And as I looked at her, I too could say that she wanted to tell me something. Now we were very good friends already, we used to talk a lot (but were both shy) but I never could say that I had feelings for her.

I was just about to say her that I loved her but she put her hand on my mouth, and looked into my eyes. "Just kiss me already." She said.

On my outside I was calm but on the inside I went like "YIPEE!"

We were just about to kiss, I moved my face towards her, and got ready to kiss her. Suddenly I heard one of our mate's call "VAMPIRES!"

We could not kiss and so we went outside to see what was the matter. To our surprise, vampires attacked in daylight.

We growled at them, but we couldn't turn because it was day. Still we were strong enough to face them with our fists, until we saw there were many of them.

At most, we were 14 (15 including Daron), while I could say there were more than 10 vampires. Leading them was a vampire in armor, he removed his helmet to show me his face - JAMES!

"JAMES, you, I thought you were dead!" I cried out.

"James is dead, I am Damascus." He replied. "Prepare to die!"

We were powerless before so many vampires, yes I could kill one or two, but not 10! And to make things worse, the 4 strongest of them were not there. It was just the 10 of us against the 10 of them. Vampires are stronger than werewolves and above that most of us were kids while the vampires looked older.

"What will you do. Lightman?!" James taunted, "Go on, squeal, no one's gonna save you now."

The vampires came towards us going to kill us.

And then it was, that Daron Duskveil came before us blocking the vampires.

"Get out of the way, Duskveil. Or you'll die first." James said.

"You will not go further." He said.

He stood before us saving us. I didn't know if he could fight but there was only one way to know.

"What will you do, DUSKVEIL???" James taunted him. "Hey you, attack!"

A vampire came towards him about to kill him, but Daron was pretty intimidating. "If you come near me, you will be destroyed."

The vampire ignored his words and ran all the way to us, we wolves backed off letting Daron handle him. I didn't know if he could fight or not, but I had a bad feeling.

The vampire came towards Daron and then was something I had not seen before. He raised his hand and suddenly came a flash of white light and a sound like a drum! A wave of magic went by and the vampire shattered to a million pieces like he was made of glass. We all looked with eyes widened because he was so strong, very strong.

"What?!" James asked as one of his vampires was killed in only one second, then we all knew how powerful Daron was.

"All together, attack!" James commanded as they all attacked together, but with only a single blow of the same spell many vampires were turned to dust at once. Only one minute had passed and almost half the vampire army was gone.

"Wohoo! Way to go!" I called out. We then saw real power.

"Fuck it, fall back." James commanded angrily, he went back retreating from him. We were happy but suddenly more vampires arrived. 15 more vampires surrounded us, evil was coming.

"What do we do now?" I asked as we went back.

Daron stepped back and put his hands on the ground, and spoke some strange words and incantations. Suddenly the ground began to shake as something strange was coming up.
