The Werecats Mate

Chapter 22

PLZ READ!!!

Hey everyone, for those of you who don't know, I am currently working on another book, "Beast Warriors" would you PLEASE check it out if you're liking this one? I'm really not sure if I'm gonna continue it or not, and would like some input! thx! :) 

We flew for what felt like hours, through a deep foreboding forest, the air here felt thick with death, it sent a chill down my spine.

'This place, is called the forest of death, many people have died here, and humans don't dare enter here, for fear of being added to that list, this, is a very dark place, even I can barely stand it here, so if you want to turn back, I will understand.' Sam explained.

'No, we have to keep going.' I replied, but the feel of the air here still churned my stomach, it was thick, with black magic.

'Very well, but when we get there, please, be careful.' He replied.

I nodded my head in response, as we continued our journey to the site of the force field, to be met with many curious stares, of his wizards who were currently trying to destroy the magical barrier. We both landed a distance away from them, as to not hinder their concentration, and shifted back into our human selves, putting on the clothes that we had in our bags. He led me to a certain wizard, no doubt the most powerful one, given how much power I felt radiating off him.

"Sir, we've still only managed to weaken it, and, many of our wizards grow weary, almost completely drained of power, your highness." The man stated.

"It's okay Marcus, you have all done well, taking down one of Vlad's barriers, is no easy task." Replied Sam. "As a matter of fact, we are here to aid you in destroying it." A look of pure shock overtook the man's face, before he nodded his head. Sam and I joined with the others, and raised our hands to the barrier, focusing our magical energy to try to destroy it. We poured so much magical energy into it, I could feel myself beginning to get tired, and I could tell it was having an effect on Sasha as well.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked, looking over to her, but just as I did, a large Crack finally appeared in the green, magical barrier.

"Everyone, here's the weak point, focus your magic here!" I shouted to everyone, and after just a few more moments, the force field shattered like glass, and vanished into thin air.

As soon as the force field vanished, we made our way to the portal, to close it, just as everyone was about to start pouring their magic into it, a figure appeared from the portal... Vlad, along with his doppleganger, though thankfully, Nidhogg was not with them.

"Well, it seems as though the little insects have managed to destroy my force field, what say you, Vlad?" One of them asked.

"Oh, I say we kill them all, especially since they killed your Nidhogg, and the versions of them in my dimension, killed my good friend as well." The other replied, watching them talk to each other, was both annoying, and confusing, it was like someone talking to themselves, while also talking to someone else, too weird. 

"Like you could beat us right now, I can tell, that traveling through the dimensions has done a number on your body, not only that, but your magical energy is also quite low." I replied.

"Oh, you really think you have a chance, kitty?" One of them asked, "You see, I am a very meticulous person, I prepared for this moment for months, in case you came here, which of course, I calculated a ninety seven percent likely hood that you would, I placed magic sigils on all my followers, using my own energy, that would activate, should you get in my vicinity, they will be here in, oh, now, actually." He mocked, and sure enough, his minions were popping up left and right, teleporting here, all battle ready, this is going to be a very long day.

"Now, if you'll excuse us, we will be taking our leave." The other stated, and I immediately became enraged at his level of arrogance, thinking that simply because we didn't expect something like this to happen, that we would allow him to get away.

I transformed into my tigreign form in an instant, another perk I got from having the power of a goddess, and lunged at them. They were able to dodge my attack, mainly because one of his men attacked me, and I had to dodge him, or be impaled, I chose the wiser option. He stood in front of them, in a protective manor, and I felt the fur on the back of my neck, all the way to my tail, stand on end, with how enraged I was that someone would even consider protecting such a monster.

"Good job Vincent, now, dispose of them would you?" Vlad asked.

This Vincent fellow quickly grinned at the request and replied, "Gladly." Before waving his hand in front of himself, making a wall of flame erupt from the ground. I jumped back, easily dodging the attack, as I was airborne, I gave a single fierce flap of my wings, pouring my magic into a air based attack, extinguishing the flames, and littering his body with small scratches, though the damage was no where near severe, I was amused at the fact that his attack had missed, and mine hit. When I landed, I dug my paws into the ground, digging up dirt, and immediately launched myself towards him once more, he had recovered, and held up his hand, launching a fire ball my way, I reacted off of instinct, and let out a roar, which somehow diminished his fire, and I kept going at him.

"What, no way." He growled under his breath, before preparing for another attack, but it was already too late. I clamped down on him right where his neck and shoulder meet, with my teeth, and forced him to the ground. I wasted no time in ridding the world of the foul creature, I shook my entire body roughly, ripping a massive chunk out of the side of his neck, leaving his head just barely attached to his body, but I made sure that his spinal chord had been severed, so that he couldn't recover. I could now focus on helping everyone else, since the most powerful one had been defeated, I looked over and saw that Sam was now in his dragon form, burning vampires left and right, but they just kept coming, where did Vlad even manage to get all of these monsters?

'Sasha, get out of here! It doesn't look like they're gonna stop any time soon, they're appearing, faster than we can get rid of them!' Sam shouted through our mind link.

'No way am I leaving you!' I replied, as I joined in the fight, these vampires actually seemed quite weak, only taking one, occasionally two attacks to kill, did Vlad really believe that they could kill us, or was he honestly willing to kill all of these comrades, simply to make a get away?
