Ty ground his teeth. His heart raced as Kivar pulled Lucas into a tight embrace and sank his fangs into the boy's throat. Lucas' screams of pain enraged him as he lay there, still trying to recover from the crippling blow he'd been dealt just moments before. Nameia screamed, her voice shouting for Kivar to stop as she twisted and jerked in the hold of the Stalkers.
Everything seemed to erupt into chaos right then. The others fought to get free as Lucas was held in the deadly grip of the man who started it all. Ty rolled onto his stomach, wincing as he went and slowly pushed himself up. Reaching for Drezair he pulled at the demon's conscious which had gone silent since Kivar's strange power had pushed him back.
"I'm here," the soft voice answered Ty's call and he grinned, his green eyes flashing dangerously.
"Stop him," he ordered the demon and there was an equal reply. Everything changed, his eye color, his teeth and ears and his nails. He took on some of Drezair's features, becoming almost like a demon. In addition, Drezair invoked another part of his power and altered Ty's form once more. Black wings extended out from his shoulder blades, right where the contract was. They tore through his school's uniform, destroying it really.
Lifting his sickly yellow gaze, Drezair launched forward at Kivar. His wings propelled him, bursting the air around him outwards as he pumped them once. He stretched out his hand, claws extended as he got closer in mere seconds. Kivar pulled away from Lucas' throat, turned and glowered at Drezair. His grey eyes were different, the whites were now silvery grey and the irises were reddened.
Kivar flicked his hand at Drezair and threw him backwards. The demon went tumbling through the air, wings flapping wildly to try to steady himself. Unfortunately, he slammed into the wall before he could do so and crumpled to the ground with a groan. Looking up, his vision wavered in and out as he watched Lucas' limp body lifted back up to Kivar's lips.
The scream that had stopped for that moment, curdled through the air once again the moment the Stalker sunk in a second time. It drove Ty insane and he urged Drezair to stop the monster named Kivar. The demon got up a second time and tried again. He shot through the air, giving a shout of rage as he went. This time, Mithviya stepped between them. He growled and barreled into her, taking her down with him. He grabbed her arms and pinned her to the ground.
As he went in to tear her apart, there was a loud crack that resounded in the air and Drezair looked up from her. To add to it, Lucas had stopped crying out, another frightening lack of sound. His gaze quickly settled on several cloaked people that had suddenly appeared in the hallway. Mithviya struggled under him violently, throwing her body around and eventually knocking him off of her just enough so that she could throw him completely to the side.
Drezair watched her quickly disappear as she waved her hand in front of her. Most likely it was the use of the demon's power that resided inside her. Otherwise, he highly doubted that she could do that. Unless it was the use of her grimoires. Anything was possible, especially when it came down to the multiplied use of grimoires.
His breath was short as he looked quickly to Lucas who was still held tightly in Kivar's grip. The Stalker, though, was looked up at the newest arrivals. Slowly the man stood, bringing the Vampire with him. Drezair narrowed his eyes as he too got to his feet. One of the cloaked individuals pushed back the hood that covered their face. Strikingly similar silver eyes bore down upon Kivar.
Drezair slowly let go, sinking back into the corner and letting Ty come forth. At first he wondered why Drezair had done that, but then realized that the ones who had made the entrance, were none other than the Families that Lucas and Ember had spoken about earlier. He eyed them carefully, just as he eyed Kivar.
"Kivar. Release him."
The Stalker gave a half grin, a soft huff of a laugh and took a step backwards, taking the unconscious Lucas with him, "Mr. Cahastile. So nice to see you again."
Ty's heart clenched. The man who frowned at Kivar was Lucas' father? Interesting. He just about had to take everything he thought he knew about Vampires and throw it out the window. His gaze shot between the two. Kivar didn't look like he was going to back down. Even though he seemed a little less confident with the Families there, it wasn't like he was running away like Mithviya had done.
Ty ground his teeth. With Kivar's attention fully on Mr. Cahastile, perhaps he could get close enough to do something worthwhile. He slowly stretched out his hand and silver light glowed around his fingers as he called upon Drezair's power. At first he moved slowly, inching towards Kivar. When he deemed that he was close enough and still the Stalker had not looked once towards him, he turned and rushed the Stalker. The silver light exploded out of his hand towards Kivar in a blade like fashion.
The Stalker turned just in time to see it come at him and he glowered at it. Releasing Lucas, he lifted his hand and flicked it at the sharpened silver bar of energy. The magic exploded before it ever touched Kivar. However, it was probably that moment of distraction that the Families needed for they moved on Kivar.
Outnumbered, his remaining Stalkers falling rapidly, Kivar quickly retreated. His grey eyes landed on Ty, their dark depths wickedly cruel. Ty returned the cold glare until the man disappeared in much the same manner as Mithviya did. He dropped down next to Lucas and pulled the boy's body up into his grip, fear gripping him tightly in his chest. Ty had to continually tell himself that Lucas was still alive, that he wouldn't die from something like this, that there were only –and only- two ways to be killed.
Even so, the Vampires still form was enough to drive him insane. A cold, empty feeling filled him. A void that he thought he'd gotten rid of. Pulling Lucas tight, he cradled him, curling over his boyfriends body in an attempt to cradle himself as well.
