Truce: A Retelling of "Shadow" Told From Christian's Perspective

Chapter 3

Ariella was following behind me when we walked from the underground to Downtown Seattle when suddenly, I heard Steven's howl. It sounded like he was in danger. I howled back and ran to where I heard the howl. Ariella followed behind me.

Ariella 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. Ariella stared at her. "What are you guys standing there for?! GET HER!!"

A black haired female vampire jumped on top of Ariella as they fell down to the ground below.

All the other vampires flew down to the ground and started to attack her. She kicked and punched them but a brown haired male vampire pushed her down. She tried to get up but she couldn't because his strength was too strong.

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

Steven and I 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 us. Steven threw a blonde female vampire into the window as glass smashed and the vampire burned in the sunlight.

I threw the male vampire that kidnapped me into the window and the vampire burned.

Two other vampires flew in behind Steven and I and started to attack us. We 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 something 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."

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

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

"Ow," said Larissa, mumbling.

"Relax, Larissa," said Ariella as her 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.

Ariella walked slowly, smiling because the fight was over.
