Shadow: A Short Story

4. The Fight

Steven was walking in the cemetery grounds. He looked up and saw someone flying down towards his direction. It was Larissa. She fell down on his back and threw him onto a nearby grave.

Steven got back up and threw Larissa onto a tree. Five other vampires flew in behind him and circled around him. Larissa got back up and walked in front of Steven and smiled, her fangs showing. The other vampires walked behind her.

"Oh Steven, I never knew you were a bad werewolf," she said, giggling. "Chain him up again."

The vampires chained up Steven outside. He howled loudly.

I was following behind Christian in Downtown Seattle as he heard Steven's howl. He howled too and ran to where he heard the howl. I followed behind him.

What's going on? I thought to myself. Where are we going?

Laney was looking into a Potions book. She grabbed a tube of red liquid and poured it into the black cauldron.

"This should help her," she said, putting the tube down. She picked up a spoon to stir the potion. She picked up her wand and waved it over the cauldron as the potion changed from red to blue.

Laney picked up the Potions book and read through the list of ingredients.

Wolfsbane.

She picked up the purple plant and stared at it. She dropped it into the cauldron and waved her wand over it.

Christian and I walked into an old rusty building and saw Larissa, Steven, and five other vampires.

"Well isn't this great, now the whole freaking party's here," said Larissa.

I stared into her blood red eyes.

"What are you guys standing there for?!" she exclaimed. "GET HER!"

A black haired female vampire jumped on top of me as we fell down to the ground below. All the other vampires flew down to the ground and started to attack me. I kicked and punched them but a brown haired male vampire pushed me down. I tried to get up but I couldn't because his strength was too strong.

Steven jumped down to the ground and started to attack the other vampires. I got back up, breathing heavily. I ran away to be safe from the attack.

Laney waved her wand over the cauldron as the potion changed from blue to purple. The potion was finally done. She picked up the soup ladle and poured some of the liquid into a cup. She looked out the window and saw the sunrise.

"You can do this, Ariella," she said. "I believe in you."

Steven and Christian both saw a light slowly rising up from a reflection off a wall. It was the sun rising. The fight continued as the vampires tried to attack the two werewolves. Steven threw a blonde female vampire into a window as glass smashed and the vampire burned in the sunlight.

Christian threw the male vampire that kidnapped him into another window and the vampire burned.

Two other vampires flew in behind Steven and Christian and started to attack them. The werewolves both threw the vampires into the sunlight and the vampires burned.

Larissa walked to the terrace of the inside of the building and watched the vampires burn.

"Well, I guess if you want thing done, you gotta do it by yourself," she said as she slowly flew down to the main ground. She looked at Steven and licked her lips. Her fangs were showing as she put her hands on his shoulders. "Now you're really gonna say goodbye to werewolf life."

I ran to find Steven, Christian, and Larissa fighting.

"Guys! Look out!" I shouted as I jumped down to the ground. Larissa looked at me with an evil look. I jumped on her and pushed her into a wooden box as long as her. She almost passed out.

"Ow," she said, mumbling.

"Relax, Larissa," I said as my eyes changed from brown to orange. "You'll feel just fine. Say goodbye to vampire life."

Larissa looked up at the bright sun and said, "Oh shit." She then started to burn.

I walked slowly, smiling because the fight was over.
