Baylorik's POV:

"Baylorik!" Laurence shouted at me as he pushed open the doors to the treasure room. He was heavy-built in armor and had a sword in his hand that was shaking a bit. "Hide the eggs in the gold with your female and join me now. I need you to protect this castle. I forgot to tell you that the bells means an invasion. There are vampire hunters attacking my castle," he said quickly and let out a shaky breath. "There's so many of them." He gave a hurt expression then. I glanced towards him then lifted my head. Is he alright? I glanced down at Divya then gave a soft growl towards her, nudging her with my head towards a pile of gold.

"Do as he says. Take the two eggs and hide them in there with you," I whispered then licked her body. "It'll be fine. Bite anyone that isn't me that comes near our eggs."

"I will," Divya promised and took her eggs quickly into the pile as she was told. I could hear her burying them even deeper. Laurence's footsteps faded up the stairs then. I looked the pile over before I nudged it a little to hide where she went in then went after Laurence quickly, slamming the door shut behind me with my tail.

"Laurence," I purred out and raced after him before I nudged him from behind. "What's the matter? You're shaking. You've killed hundreds of your kind before." I don't know why he's so concerned. This isn't that bad.

"I've lost two friends already," he told me. "I didn't see this in time because I was too excited about giving Dante a ring, and I'm certain my friends are going to be mad about this when it's over." He muttered. "Plus it's vampire hunters which means I have to be careful in this art of war along with everyone else that's a vampire fighting along by my side. Plus I couldn't find Mayloi, Baleen, or Timothy before I came to get you." He ran his shaky fingers through his hair. "Just try not to die out there," he laughed out softly.

"I'm not going to die," I told him and then licked the top of his head. Which two did he lose? "If they blame you, I'll eat them~ You should've came for me first."

"I think they're in hiding," he whispered. "Together." I sniffed the air then for Mayloi and twitched my tail as I caught his scent faintly along with Timothy's.

"Timothy has Mayloi for sure," I whispered to him. "I don't smell their blood." There is the servant quarters. Perhaps they're there.

"We'll find them later. Let's protect the castle," Laurence told me and started into a light jog up the stairs. "They're all at the main entrances of my castles. There are a few scattered in different places but that's it. We'll take them out. You can use your fire on them. They're just humans." I purred loudly at the thought. Barbequed humans~ My specialty!

"Good," I snarled. "I'll eat them for invading my treasure hoard!" I rushed past him and roared ferociously, going for the front of the castle. They aren't touching my eggs and mate!

"THE ONES INSIDE CAN BE DEALT WITH BY ME! SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT THEM!" He called after me before his voice faded from behind me. If my master says so~ I busted out of the castle outside and snarled, letting loose some of my flames as I saw a few of the attackers nearby, scorching them into black smudges on the earth. No one is touching my castle today, not like this!

After getting everyone dealt with outside, I nudged my way back in to the castle and glanced around, growling as I picked a few swords out of my legs with my teeth. I caught Laurence surrounded by some hunters as he was fighting them off with his sword. Paris teleported into the room and raced up to help Laurence slay them. I snarled and went after the hunters, swiping a few against the walls with my tail and heard their bones crunch from the impact. Paris gave me a huge smile.

"Baylorik~! Did you have a nice barbeque outside?" He asked me. I heard a few hunters snicker. I growled and looked at the hunters before I narrowed my eyes and went for one quickly. Little bastards. I'll teach them. They widened their eyes and scattered from each other quickly but one of them stood there confused before raising his eyes as he saw me coming. I snarled as I reached him and leaned my face down to his, puffing smoke into his face as I felt my fire starting to collect in my chest again. I let out an ear-shattering growl as I flared out my wings and went to bite down into him. He let out a scream and took off running before I could bite him. Paris went after the scattering ones quickly. I cackled and went after him, pleased he was running. I'm going to turn him into my little play toy! He ran straight out the doors then, ditching the castle. I laughed and went outside after him, giving a purr before I knocked him to the ground and put my claws over him to trap him. He let out a scream and widened his eyes as he rolled over to look up at me. I looked at him then growled, leaning down to his throat and sniffed it. He let out a frightened scream and tried to get out from under my claw. I think I'll give him to Laurence as a gift~ He'll enjoy playing with him too! I scooped him up into my jaws then shook all his weapons off him before I headed back inside with a loud purr, keeping my head up high proudly. Maybe Laurence will like me if I give him a play toy. I felt him squirming and letting out a panicked scream. I found Laurence inside taking care of the hunter's surrounding him and looked to be winning. I purred and went up to him before I knocked the hunter over for him and swiped my tail behind me swiftly to make sure no one was trying to sneak up behind me. Laurence glanced up at me and tightened his jaw.
