Blood Will Fall: Tales of a Vampire Hunter

Chapter 29

The two women burst into the mansion sending the door flying off its hinges. They both scanned looking for Sambuca and Lilith, but couldn't locate either of them. Ciara noticed the medieval décor of the house as well as Lilith's chair made from the bones and petrified flesh of her earliest victims.

"This is creepy," Ciara said.

"Yeah," Chloe added. "Home sweet home."

"Where are they?"

Chloe held up her hand and said. "Quiet." They both heard a small rumbling coming beneath their feet. An explosion of wood flew in the air as they saw Sambuca flying out of the hole that his body created. Lilith jumped out of the hole a few seconds later.

"Pathetic," Lilith yelled. "Getting soft on me, Sambuca." She brandied a ten-foot mental spear getting ready for her next attack.

Sambuca stood up, still gripping his sword. "Shut up and fight!"

Ciara drew her sword and Chloe's crawls extended. The three circled around the Mistress. Lilith twirled her spear.

"Three against one," Lilith commented. "Not very fair odds." She made the spear danced around her body, showing off her prowess of the weapon. "For you."

"Attack," Sambuca ordered.

Chloe and Ciara rushed in, but Lilith kept them at bay as the spear slashed both across the stomach. It hurt like hell, but no real injuries, but blood was drawn. Sambuca attacked, but Lilith blocked his blade and knocked him back. The three recovered and charged the Mistress. Lilith speed with the spears was unparalleled as she struck all three within matters of seconds, sending all flying back to the wall.

"I'm surprised my Optios fell to you," Lilith said as she twirled her spear. "I want a real fight."

"You are more of a fighter than a teacher, Lilith," Sambuca said as he circled around Mistress. The other two circled Lilith as well, trying to find a weakness.

"Focus!" Sambuca called out as he noticed that Ciara was favoring her right shoulder, which was still bleeding from the bullet. Chloe was in better shape, but her attacks were limited without a weapon. Running out of options, he called out to his daughter. "Sword!" Ciara learned in the past to never to question his orders in battle and tossed the sword to her master.

Sambuca charged with both swords clashing against the spear. Lilith saw him as a bigger threat, so she focused the sharp end of Sambuca and the blunt end on the other two. The Mistress pushed and lunged at the Dhampir, but he dodged and blocked the attacks.

Chloe jumped on the Mistress 's back, but Lilith tossed the redhead off like a bad case of fleas and send Chloe crashing down the hole. Ciara pulled her knife and flipped and jumped on the Mistress's shoulder. She wrapped her legs around the Mistress's neck, so she couldn't be easily discarded like Chloe. The Mistress twisted and bent trying to buck Ciara off, but the Mistress couldn't focus on the raven-haired beauty as Sambuca was attacking from the front.

"Get the fuck off!" The Mistress yelled.

Sambuca's swords continued to clash against the spear. With Ciara on the Mistress's neck, Sambuca's attacks only focused on the spear, limbs and torso. He left the upper body to his daughter. Ciara wrapped her forearm around the Mistress's forehead. Her arm was sore from the bullet that still wedged in the shoulder, but by the strength of her will, she rose the knife to the Mistress's throat.

"Bye, Bye, Bitch," Ciara yelled as the knife cut into the flesh on the neck.

The Mistress didn't scream but delivered a low deep laugh as she felt her blood dripping down her neck and tickled between her breasts. Her eyes brightened as her fangs grew. As Ciara focused on the neck of the Mistress, the Mistress focused on the creamy flesh of Ciara's thigh.
