Chapter 49: The Storm
"Bingo." The sniper grinned.
Finally. He knew that this would come. After the target had slipped inside, he'd focused on the penthouse windows but before the target even got there, somebody closed it.
He'd spent the day watching, miserable. "Rich people." He scoffed. Spending the whole day at home, doing nothing.
When it was night, he packed up and left, descending from his perch. Today was a bust. He'd been about to enter his car when he saw the target with two beautiful ladies entering a car. He looked on in shock before slipping into his car, following at a distance.
"My lucky day indeed." To make matters even better, they drove to a secluded area filled with warehouses. He marked the warehouse they entered and raced,
Olivia's beautiful white wings bursts from her back, protecting her from flanking attacks.
"That looks nasty," Gen muttered, focusing on the immediate threat. Olivia could take care of herself.
The two female vampires regrouped, their red eyes filled with fury. "Come on girls. It's ladies' night!" Gen laughed loudly, her mouth stretching into a wide grin. Her tongue flicked out and licked her lips. "Tell you what. I won't even use my monsters.
I'm monster enough for this."
The two vampires exchanged glances.
"COME ON!" Gen roared at them.
The first vampire came at her with renewed fury. Gen met her charge head-on. She ducked under a swipe and delivered a punch to the vampire's midsection, following up with a roundhouse kick that sent her crashing to the floor.
The second vampire attempted to catch Gen off guard, but she was ready. She sidestepped a lunge, grabbing the vampire's arm and twisting it behind her back before slamming her into the floor. "Stay down," Gen growled.
The vampire immediately shot out a spray of black ink out of her back, forcing Gen to flip away. She'd seen Malachi's ink. Who knew what this one did.
The first vampire leapt at Gen who ducked under her swipe, using her momentum to flip the vampire over her shoulder, face first into the ground. The second minion, clutching her wounded side, hesitated just long enough for Gen to deliver a decisive vitality enhanced blow to her head, knocking her out.
With both minions down, Gen turned to assist Olivia and almost stumbled. Malachi had Olivia pinned against the wall, his hand around her throat. Gen grabbed a nearby chair and hurled it at Malachi, breaking his hold. Olivia dropped to the ground, her hand already lashing out at Malachi who leapt away.
"You'll pay for that," Malachi snarled, turning his red eyes on Gen.
"Sorry, but I'm broke." Gen stood her ground, ready for whatever came next. Malachi stepped forward, but before he could reach her, Olivia tackled him from the side, driving him into the ground. They rolled, locked in a deadly struggle.
Gen knew she couldn't strike Malachi without hitting Olivia too, so she kept an eye on Ezra. His wound had almost fully healed, his eyes beginning to flutter open.
"Ezra!" Relief surged through her. He was coming around. Yes. Wake up Ezra. Let's do this. Together.
Let's rip him to shreds.
Suddenly, Malachi broke free from Olivia's hold, his eyes locking onto Ezra.
Boom!
Another explosion of color emanated from him, this time, targeting the vampires. Gen and Olivia were sent flying.
"No!" Gen shouted, but Malachi was too fast. In a flash, he was in front of Ezra. He reached out for Ezra, his hand closing in on the still regenerating vampire.
Gen knew that if Malachi touched Ezra, it was all over. Their plans. Their dreams. Their freedom. Their lives.
Tap!
