Prologue June 27th 2011 9:38pm
Van HelsingIII looked pleased as we all assembled into the field behind the old worn down warehouse. Stood next to him was his second in command Hellman. As the last one crept along the field I did a head count 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..25 that’s all there was, who needed more we were strong,together even alone nobody could stand against us.
Here we were, stood outside this shabby worn out warehouse not knowing what was inside, but as I said together we were strong, and whatever was inside we would face it together.
We would conquer.
Death had no influence over us all, we would be victorious. We all understood there would be casualties in this up and coming battle, but as long as we stood firm we were as one, nobody or nothing could overcome us.

Chapter one
June 27th 2011 10pm

The rain was falling down heavily the sound of the rain was echoing off the tin roof. The smell of death so rigorous in the air, the slight sniff caused the back of my throat to sting, there was also the slightest distinction of perfume too, there had been humans here before us there had been a lot of destruction in this part of town tonight and now it’s time to put a stop to the sleaze bags once and for all.
VanhelsingIII stood tall and proud at the head of the group. He was surrounded by his two commanders Hellman and Drago, along with his three senior officers DirtyAddict , Lie, and the Intel officer Roo.
Roo was waiting to pass on the information he had gathered about the wearhouse, the layout, where the enemy might be situated as well as the exit doors the last thing we needed was something escaping through another door. I could tell by the look on VanhelsingIII stern face he was weighing up the information Roo had passed over would this Intel be enough to sway the battle in our favor "i didnt get much of a look inside he has henchmen on watch through the day. But from what i can see we stand a good chance with this one ,just like the wearhouse the other evening it only has one exit door at the far side theres no roof top for quick exit so the action will all be awaiting inside, if i am correct i counted 33 vampires entering the wearhouse 2 hours ago, the numbers may outweigh ours but many are very young probably with not alot of expeirience behind them and unfortunatatly thats all i have on this experdition"he nodded his head at van and fell back in line .
The other officers were standing around waiting with intent to hear how this battle would be won, would it require stealth or would it be the old fashioned all out frontal assault.
VanhelsingIII turned to his force and with an air of authority, he spoke "My friends ,my compadres here we stand together again united ,this may be one of the toughest battles we have ever had to face the numbers out do us, but together we shall vanquish whatever may be waiting in there for us. Stay sharp and let’s lock and load and blow them out the water we will walk away from here knowing we have vanquished yet another dark source into abliteration. He turned back round to Hellman and placed his hand on his shoulder "it’s time hell" Hellman turned to face us next and we all knew what was coming "now let’s get in there and killem" All three commanders stood in the front followed by the senior officers and Intel behind us and the others stood behind them I envied the coolness and collectiveness of the other two commanders they were two guys who laughed in the face of fear and the confidence they showed in there force was admirable we all knew with these leading we would all come out on top we had faith nothing would ever be too much for us as a group to handle. I stood next to Hellman ,i turned my head to the side to look at hell and and van like i did before every battle , they both in responce turned there heads in my direction and gave me a nod of acknowledgement ,this was our way of saying without words to cover our backs and make sure we all get out alive ,van and hell both had such an air of mystery surrounding them , but anyone who knew them understood the burning fire that grew inside of them before every fight before i joined them they had been best friends but it made me wonder about their histories and how they had managed to get together such a powerful band of people,what had drove to this and was it for the same reasons i had became a hunter a long time ago.
He commanded an air of expectation aswell you see every member of the clan he had hand-picked one by one because he could see the potential in every single one of us. Question was how had he found them all,was it in the same way he had found me almost a year ago.VanhelsingIII raised his hand into the air, the clan members who had been speaking fell silent "my friends we have come here today to vanquish whatever evil dwells within it ,it may be as I said a hard drawn out fight, but there are no other people I would rather be standing strong with than all of you. A sudden cheer resounded through the once silent night, he lowered his hand and the clan fell silent again.
"We shall be victorious ,I have faith in every single one of you, make whatever awaits inside pay for their misgivings I know some of us have our own reasons for wanting them dead but don’t let that misguide you to think you are alone we are as one with the many numbers we have become ,raise your voices loud and proud, let them know we do not fear them “he continued “sing ,sing ,sing my friends ,let the heavens hear us and let hell know we are coming " with that we all raised our voices and sang with all our hearts.

Chapter Two
July 27th 2011 10:30pm
The sound of the singing, echoed through the desolate warehouse corridors, the enemy inside could hear the song. Some of them looked at eachother,some were starting to feel the fear rise inside of them, some were even trying to break away from the main group and trying to find a way out of the situation there leader had now put them in .
A yell came from the dark said "stand fast don’t let this infernal racket scare any of you, tis but words with no meaning, can’t you see they are trying to install fear into you.
"What are we to do my lord" a tiny voice from the back of the group responded. The dark cloaked figure raised his head; a set of deep red crimson eyes glowed in the dark.
"They know not what they face or by how many". “Yes but my lord these are worriors with no fear they laugh in the face of death and will stop at nothing to be rid of everysingle one of our heads. they took out my cousin a few evenings ago in a wearhouse just like this one they simply demolished it withing minutes and the numbers were as great as ours do not give these men false hopes when we stand infront of these inspiring worriors and there fear of steel" the dark cloaked figure turned away from him to his closest commanders if this is the end of me my closest friends avenge me when you can" "I will my lord they will wish they were never born “and with that the small figure turned and faded into the darkness.
The dark cloaked figure ushered for his lieutenants to his side and he issued each of them with orders and as he did they would bow, turn and go. The cloaked figure turned towards the clan, he summoned 20-30 of the clan before him. Four other smaller groups broke of and headed in different directions, they would be the ones that would try and pick off as many of the enemy as they could. And would pay for it with their lives.
The trap was now in the throws of being set and it would just be a matter of time before the battle would begin and death would be the only victor for one of the battling clans, but for which one.The dark figure turned and with that he summond ten of his best fighters to come with him as his own personel body guard,”we shall find a vantage point,and when the time is right you shall all fight for your lives beside me”,”we are truly honored my lord”came the reply from his loyal subjects,with that they faded into the dark.the four groups that had broken away from the main group were now heading to their respected locations,where they would now wait for the oncoming battle.the singing from outside was seeming to subside,those who had been around for some time knew that this was the beginning and maybe the end of them.

chapter 3
july 27th 2011 11.06pm

The rain was now easing up,it was more of a fine drizzle,the downpour was over.van raised his head skyward. A fine sheen of rain was upon his face,he looked out toward his fellow friends.he had a feeling that not all of them would be coming out but he would try with all his might to not let that happen.with that he raised his arms skyward “friends”he started to say “we stand at this most difficult time,but together I know that we shall be victorious,for I have and im sure that you do to,have faith in your fellow clan members”cheers erupted from the others.”LETS PUT AN END TO THESE VILE AND EVIL BEINGS,LETS SEND THEM BACK TO THE DARK ABYSS THEY CAME FROM”with that loud cheers went up.each member of the clan started to check their weapons,making sure there could be no jamming in the firing mechanisms,others checking there blades were sharp,there could be no mistakes now at this vital stage of the operation.plans had been set,the clan was now spliting up into there units,nods of exknowledgements were being exchanged between clan members.the time had come.
Hellman headed of with five clan members,true and loyal they would follow him to the ends of the earth,lie advanced with another five fighters,they headed towards a side door just of to the right.hellman proceeded to the back of the warehouse,it would take him a few minutes to be in position.van drago and the remaining fighters made there way towards the main door they would have to stand in the open for a bit whilst hellman got into place,that didn’t fade them in the slightest,they had been in this position on a few occasions.van knew that they wouldn’t have to wait long.
With that a whistling came threw the air,it was an arrow that was the signal that hell was now in place.van looked toward drago and then to the others”THIS IS IT MY FRIENDS,LETS SHOW THIS SCUM HOW WE DEAL WITH THERE KIND”with that they all drew there weapons,van booted the door in with so little effort,lie saw and with that she and her force entered the side door,unbekown to them hell had already gone in the rear door.van was scanning every area whilst drago check the high points just incase any of the scum were waiting.as they walked in a bit further they passed a door one of the others went to check to see if it was locked,as they cautiously turned the handle and pushed the door.as the door opened two figures jumped out onto the clan member,shots echoed through the empty corridor,the clan member managed to get of a few rounds but they overpowered him,blood was flowing from his wounds,drago was soon amongst,them her fighting prowess was exceptional,she dispatched the two vile scum with great ease,they didn’t stand a chance,van moved to the fallen member,his wounds were serious,”lets get him out of here”van said,drago nodded drago summond one other member and told them to take there fallen brother out.lie and her group hadnt come across any resistance as yet,they approached with caution.as lie and her group rounded a bend they could here some kind of murmuring coming from up ahead,something didn’t feel right to lie who with a clenched fist ordered her group to stop.”wait here”she whispered.with that lie headed on slowly,trying not to make a sound,with great stealth shecame within a few feet of the noise.she could make out about three or four of the vile creatures.as she was about to move a sound echoed of to her right it was three more coming towards the group.that would make about six to seven of them now.with that she edged her way back to her group as she drew nearer she whispered”its me “.the group waited to hear what she had found.lie a breath”there seems to be a party of scum waiting for us”she smiled”lets not keep them waiting”and with that she held her rifle and patted it”lets not dissapoint them”with a smile she waved at the others to follow her but with great stealth,as they rounded the bend lie let out a yell”kill them all fight with all your heart”with that cries of joy could be heard.van halted in his tracks at the echoing sound vibrating down the empty halls,he turned to the others and said”lie has found some fun”drago looked at van and said “she has all the fun”a smile came upon her face.lie was fighting with an over whelming confidence that seemed to rub of on the others in her group.one of the vamps got a shot of,which hit one of the group full on the chest,that slowed him down a touch,the wound wasn’t fatal as his armour took most of the blow,another was jumping at the shot clan member,but was caught short as another drove a stake straight into the vamps upper torso and as it fell to the ground it was blasted in the face,sprying blood and parts all over the walls,lie had dispatched two of the vamps with ease,she hadnt even got a scratch,the other clan members had downed another two of the scum,one had managed to escape.the vamps were dead and lie and her group had only picked up a few minor injuries.lie told her group to take a short break.she felt that some of them might need it.
Van and his group were making small inroads.there were many barracades that were placed in there way,they were taking time to dismantle them without trying to give themselves away.after a few hours and after a lot of moving things they came upon a fork in there path.drago looked at van and said”which way do you want to go”van stood looking from left to right,”decisions decisions”he said and a raised smile came upon his face,drago had never seen van like this before in all the time she had known him.”ladies first”van said to drago.”do you think it wise we split our group”came her reply.van looked at her,”your not scarred are you”van smiled.”scarred,me don’t talk crap van”they both exchanged a smile.”ill go left then”van said “ill go right”replied drago and with that5 drago and four of the group headed right,van turned and said “be careful””you too”she said.drago and her group walked for about ten minutes,slowly and quietly,checking every room with great care not to miss a thing or anybody.they hadnt meet any resistance at all,van on the other hand had met with some resistance.he had lost one of his clan.they were ambushed by five vamps,one of the group was over whelmed,he didn’t stand a chance,he was torn to shreds in a few minutes,his body was laying in a pool of blood,but it wasn’t all his,van and the others had slain the vamps and mutilated the bodies,they had decapitated and rip of the limbs of the vamps.van stood over the dead clan member and said”my fallen brother,may you sleep sound and see the ones you loved once more go in peace”the remaing members bowed there heads.
Hellman was now in a large room,there were doors of too the right”be wary me friends,this smells like a trap,be on your guard”the group nodded in reply,hellman pointed to the others to spread out and to be prepared,hellman looked around he couldn’t see there be any vantage point from above,so there could be no fear from a attack above,hellman knew that an attack was iminent,he had enough experience to know it was coming for him and the waiting was pleasurable to say the least.. Hell stood ready and waiting for whatever was going to come through those doors. His weapon at the ready, his heart rate slowed as he stood calm and collected, he had been in this type of situation to many times for him to remember.
He looked at his group of clan members, with a look they all knew instantly to be ready. “Whatever we shall face, we shall overcome it as one “he whispered “fear not my friends, because fear shows weakness and these vile scum will pick up on it”. The other group members looked at Hell and understood what he meant, they were ready as always.
They didn’t have to wait long as a group of around seven vamps came crashing through the two doors.as the first two entered they were dispatched with eloquent ease and speed.one of Hells group had somehow got themselves cornered by two of the vampires, it was only the quick thinking of one of the group, that managed to save the other from certain fate of death. Hell stood his ground and he fought with such sublime grace and style. The first vampire he encountered didn’t stand a chance, his head was taken from its body before he even noticed, with one great bound Hell was now facing his second adversary.
The other group members managed to dispatch the others, back to where they had come from, the dirt .they turned towards hell now watching in amazement and the slender of how Hell was now toying with the vampire that stood before him in his way. He was inflicting great pain on this one, he chooses his attacks wisely, he didn’t want to kill this one straight away, and he wanted him to suffer. But deep down Hell knew that vampires felt no pain. The vampire tried fighting back, but with little effort “I grow tired of this “Hell said aloud. “You won’t prevail hunter, we are many “said his vampire foe. With that hell decided he was bored of toying with this vamp and ended his undead existence with one attack.
The vampire exploded, bits of it that were left went flying everywhere. A speck landed on Hells jacket, he looked at it and with a stiff hand flicked it onto the floor. Hell turned to face his group “everyone O.K.”, he asked. The others nodded “Just minor injuries” one of the group replied “can you all continue “Hell asked. “We will fight till we die “came the reply from the others, with that Hell lead his group through the right hand door and they carried on their way.
Drago and her group made their way slowly and with great caution up the corridor, they were checking every room on their way. They walked a few feet more when all of a sudden drago raised a fist into the air, with that the others stopped dead in their tracks.
Drago made a sign which they all understood. Each one headed for the nearest cover they could find. “What is it “one of them asked. “Voices up ahead”drago replied. “I’ll go check it out and when you hear me call come running “she said with a hint of a smile on her face.
Drago made her way with great style and grace, weaving in and out of the junk, trying very hard not to make a single sound.it took her only a few minutes to get close enough for her to finally see what was making the noises she had heard.
Three vampires were standing in the way, one of them kept coming in and out of the shadows.drago knew that she could take all of them, but she was thinking should she wait for the others. “What the hell “she whispered to herself, “You only live once2she continued. With that she leapt from the dark at the nearest vamp and with style she killed the first vamp before he had known what had happened. Blood sprayed all over the place, as she turned one of the other two vamps manage to get a lucky strike in,drago yelled a shrill yell,but it wasn't because of the wound it was because she felt so stupid as to let one of them get a very lucky strike on her.
The other three members heard a cry and with that they left the safety of cover and headed towards their comrade. Unbeknown to them, drago didn't need any help at all. The other two vamps never posed much of a challenge for her, she killed both of them with great ease, as the other members of her group finally made it to where she was, all they could see was drago standing there, blood everywhere and vamp bodies lying in many pieces, they all stood staring at her. “what took you so long “she said2we got here as quick as we could “one of them said “but looks as though we weren’t needed anyway “he continued.drago looked around and said “guess your right “a raised smile came upon her face. The others looked at each other and smiled.drago wiped the blood of her mask with her sleeve, as she did so she noticed the blood about her feet and on her clothes, “that’s gunna be a bitch to get out “she said, a small laugh escaped her. With that she led her group onwards, taking care as they went.
Van now stood at a crossroads with the remaining members of the clan. Which way to go he thought to himself. Van signaled to one of his group “go to the left and scout ahead, but be careful “he said. With that the woman nodded and headed of in that direction. Van turned to the others and told them to rest “it may be some time before we get another chance to “he continued.
The other members looked for places to rest, they knew van was right, nobody knew when they would rest next or even if they would get out alive. Van stood in the center of the crossroads looking down each corridor in turn, keeping a tight vigil. He would stand his ground and face anything that might come his way.
He was a tall, proud and very noble man, he had lead his clan into many a battle and he would never ask them to do something he wouldn't do himself and for that reason he had the respect from his fellow clan members.
The scout had now been gone for about thirty minutes. She was making her way down the corridor, taking great care so as not to give herself away.as she was approaching a bend, she could make out voices in the distance. She stood fast trying to see if she could make sense of the voices that she could hear. The voices were now getting closer, so with that the scout decided it was time to make herself scarce. She moved back the way she came, she didn't rush as she didn't want to give herself away. She moved with caution, stopping every so often to hear if by some chance she hadn't given herself away, but as yet she was quite safe.
It took her nearly forty minutes to get back to van and the main group.as she approached she could see van still holding his stoic vigil. “what’s wrong “van asked her, as she made her way towards him”voices”she replied “I don't know how many there are “she replied panting hard “headed this way “she continued “how far away do you think they are “van asked “maybe twenty minutes “came her reply. “Go rest my friend, tell the others to stand too “with that the scout nodded and fell back down the corridor telling the others to stand too.
“This is your time my friends “van said to the other clan members, “take up your positions and fight as well as I know you can and we shall come through this “he told them. They looked at van and nodded.as they started to go and get into position, one of them turned to van and said “are you to take cover “van looked at him and with a raised smile replied “I shall stand fast and lure them in my friend, be ready for my call”. The man looked at van and moved off and got himself situated.
All the members were now ready and waiting for whatever was coming. Van stood arms folded, after about fifteen minutes he could now hear the voices as they approached, they weren’t loud, they were quite soft, a dim chatter. What was coming and how many he thought to himself, but at the back of his mind he didn't care because he had faith in his fellow clan members, and he knew they would fight and if it meant their death then so be it.
The group that was approaching was ever so near now. Van looked off to his sides and saw that the men and women of his group were ready for anything.
Van could see shadows in the dimly lit corridor; they were now no more than ten feet away. Just as van was about to shout out the command to attack he stoppedhimself, there was something odd about this group, he strained his ears and it was lucky that he did, for he recognized one of the voices.” You should have said you were coming “he said into the darkness, “you were nearly, how can I put this, slaughtered “he carried on saying, “meet much opposition on your travels” ”what do you think “came a reply. Van looked around him and told the others to stand down.
Drago was now in full view of van and the others.drago turned to her group and told them to take a rest “nice colour”van said “suits you “he smiled”thanks, I thought it looked good at the time, but I'm not sure now”drago replied “have you heard anything from the others yet “she asked “no not yet “van replied. “Take a rest “van told drago, she went and sat down leaning up against a wall. Van came over and asked how much opposition she had faced,drago told him not much, only three and how she sent them back to hell, hence that was why she was covered in blood.
Van looked and nodded, but as he looked he noticed that she had deep lacerations on her arm.he called over one of the group who had some medical training. He told him to take a look at the wound and to clean it and bandage it up.drago removed her armour, then her jacket, so as to let the medic have a look at it.after a few minutes the medic had finished and drago had replaced her jacket and armory.
Van looked at her and asked “you feel fit to move out” ”just you try and stop me”drago replied “here take my hand “he extended his hand, drago took it and with that van helped her up.”Thanks”drago said “no problems “came vans reply, they both stood with the others gathered around them, they peered straight ahead “let’s move “van said and with that they started on their way again.

Chapter 4
july 28th 2011 1.08am

The scout went ahead taking care to keep in the shadows. Stopping whenever he heard or even sensed movement ahead. After what seemed to be longer but was in fact ten measly minutes he stopped dead in his tracks, he could just make out movement he stared into the dimly lit corridor, he wasn't sure what was in front of him and he didn't want to know either but still he made his way gradually, as he got closer he noticed that up ahead was blocked off but not with debris but with dead bodies. This must be where there keeping the people they had been feeding on as he walked closer he noticed the many faces of the people he had but a few nights ago seen on the news described as missing g the visions of the crying relatives came flooding back to him but he continued to stay focused on the job at hand the bile of disgust rose through his body at an intolerable rate he just couldn't take in the sight before him.as he continued looking at the sight of this atrocity that was in front of him he never heard the two vampires that were now upon him. They grabbed at his arms and pushed his face down into the ground, he tried to struggle but to no prevail they had hold of him tightly and the only place he was going was with them.
They picked him up and disarmed him and stripped him of his armory. “the master will be pleased “one of them said “we better take care to get him to the master in one piece” the other one said, “we best make sure when we get him there, there’s not a scratch on him or the master will blame us” the first vampire continued. He may think we fed upon his scrawny body” the second vampire replyed.they looked at each other you could literally see the fear on their faces.
The scout was just about to shout, but as he went to open his mouth a fist hit him square in the chin knocking him out cold.in the distance van and the others were making their ways down the corridor.drago turned to van with a look he was so use to by now “the scouts not left a marker for a while now van, do you think everything’s ok “ van looked and placed a reassuring hand on the small of her back and in a hushed voice replied “yes it is worrying drago but I'm sure everything is well he may have just come across a little trouble and just blended in with the shadows till it passed try not to worry babes” drago just looked at van, but van was feeling exactly the same as drago was he just didn't want to say it out loud.
To the left side of the warehouse hell and his group were making head road they had not come across any resistance, which was a little boring for hell but he knew there was more to come so it made the journey more enjoyable. His group was now resting; hell had told them to rest they had deserved it.
The scout was now coming to his head was pounding, his vision was groggy, he hadn't got all his senses back as yet, he could just about make out many voices they were bit incoherant,as his vision was clearing he could see around him, there must have been at least twenty vampires,standing,staring up at something or someone. Then from next to him he heard “we got one my lord “the voice said. “You did well “came the voice in reply “he might be able to tell us just how many we face “another voice said “maybe but I have other plans for this one “the distinctive voice replied. “you are awake “the tall robed figure said “I have plans for you, don’t worry none shall harm you “he continued to say with that he pulled the scout up with one strong arm and held him aloft for all to see “none shall harm this one “he spoke out to all his followers “any who do, shall have me to answer too “as he finished, all of his followers bowed their heads in acknowledgement. “the robed figure looked at the scout and said”see”he turned the scout to face him “you are quite safe for now “he smiled at the scout and dropped him to the floor, where upon landing on the hard stone floor the two vamps grabbed him and restrained him once again.
Lies group were now heading down a long corridor, it seemed to her as if they were being funneled into a place not off their own choosing. “Stay calm, my friend “lie spoke “all is well “as she said that, lie was staring down the corridor, keeping an eye out for anything she thought might cause her and the group distress.
Hell and his group proceeded on meeting no opposition at all.
One of hells group turned to him and said “this don't feel right “hell looked at him “stay focused my friend “was his reply “it’s going to be ok, I’m sure we will meet up with the others soon “the man looked at hell “let’s hope so”, “fear not for fear will bring about your downfall “hell said to his fellow companion. With that they moved on.
Van and drago were now nearly at a wooden door. The door was large, as if it was built for some reason.
It looked out of place in the present surroundings. Van held his fist up and the group stopped “we shall rest for a few minutes “he told them.drago moved to vans side “no report from the scout” she said quietly “no not for some time” came vans reply “are we to wait”drago continued. Not for long “van went on to say “if we haven’t seen or heard anything in the next let’s say 10 minutes, we can surmise that the scout is either dead or…….worse” van looked deeply into dragos eyes”drago looked away “what could be worse than death “came her delayed reply, “capture “van replied suddenly drago saw a new look on vans face it was almost a look of terror for his scout it made drago step back a little to almost visualize what van was feeling. “but let’s try not to let on to the others yet “,”yes your right van “was all drago could respond with.drago and van turned back round to the others “wait here and rest you lot, drago come with me” drago looked at van “where are we going “she replied, “through those doors, let’s take a look at the otherside”vans eyes opened wide. With that van pushed the large wooden doors open. As they both walked in drago turned to van and spoke with a hand over her nose “what’s that stench “van shrugged his shoulders “I don't know kind of smells like me in the morning after a curry “but even though this was but a little light humor in all the time van had been a hunter even before he had an order hunting alone he had never smelt anything like it, this was new to him.
As they looked around they could see three other doors in the room. “Which way you fancy” toyed drago eyes wide with bewilderment”, “I’m not sure laughed van hmmmm choices choices” smiled a very pleased van. They both just stood stoic, not a movement from both. All of a sudden the quietness was broke as two of the doors began to creak open slowly. “here we go “said van looking at drago.drago was now standing ready as ever for battle “let’s do this “ she said with passion to her tone ,van nodded in agreement ,van took her hand before looking deep in her blue eyes “together till the end “a smile rose upon his face. “Together” drago replied.

Van and drago stood together,two of the three doors swung open”for the clan”van shouted out loud,shouts from the others rang loud and echoed.drago and van started to advance not sure of what they were going to face or how many.drago could just make out several bodies pouring inthrough the other doorsthis wasn't going to be easy she thought to herself.the groups coming in through the doors,were standing ready.`
Hells group could make out two groups heading there way,so it seemed.lies group also felt the same.it was only as the groups drew closer to each other,they could make each other out.”hell””van”two voices shouted at once.”drago”lie called”lie”drago replied,”shit that was lucky”drago turned to van”sure was”.all four stood laughing,”well”van said”nice to have you both back,any problems””not much”they both replied.”how about you”lie asked.”nothing we couldn't handle”van replied.drago looked at van then at lie”was it difficult for you!”she asked lie”no,not much to say really,found a few vamps,killed them and here we are”lie replied.
The reunited groups stood for a while,trading information and how much resistance each had come across.van looked and then proceeded to say”that's the only way to go now”he pointed over to the unopen door.”we still havent had word from our scout for sometime now”drago told van,”shouldn’t we give it a bit of time,to see if he comes back”van looked at hell and lie,then at drago”if we wait to long we might lose the element of surprise”lie looked at van and said”how long has he been missing””about twenty minutes”drago replied,”was he too be trusted”hell asked”I hope so”replied van.the reunited clan started to gather themselves together,each individual was preparing themselves for combat,checking weapons,armour and so on.whatever was lying through those doors they wanted too be ready.
“ My lord” one of the vamps uttered,”what are we to do with that one”he asked”leave him to me”was the reply”ill take care of it” and with that the vampire nodded and turned back to face the others.the vampires were ready,they could almost taste blood on their lips,and to them it tasted sweet.the robed figure moved once more to where the scout was being kept,the two vamps that were restraining him bowed their heads.”what is your bidding my lord”one of them said,”leave us for a moment”he replied and with that the two vamps moved away.the scout now free made his way to his feet,”do not fear what you cannot understand”the figure said aloud”embrace your fear,be free of it”the scout looked at the tall figure”what are you saying I don't understand” he looked,the robed figure moved closer and said”let me show you”with that he moved quicker than light and was now feeding upon the scout,his teeth sank deep into the mans neck,trickles of blood flowed from the two wounds,”take this gift,use it well but above all avenge me”the robed figure looked into the scouts eyes as he spoke”look for vinguard he will assist you”as he looked into the scouts eyes as he spoke these final words. He ushered the two vamps back”hide him well,I don't want him found””we will” they both replied.they both dragged the scouts writhing body of into the darkness.the robed vampire turned to the rest of his followers and bellowed “get ready,be prepared fight for your honour and let their blood flow”.
Van and the others were now ready to face whatever was through the door”we know not what or how many we face but we shall overcome any resistance we meet together as one”he told the clan members.”fight for each other,defend each other,victory will be ours my friends”he went on to say.
Thy started to head towards the door,each one was ready,it would be a tough task,but each knew the other one standing beside him would have their backs,like a link chain,strong and reliable.the lead group was now at the door,with a big shove they pushed open the wooden door and proceeded through it.they filed into the room,it was an enormous room,torches lit the room.”be careful my friends,take your time as we go onwards”hell said.the clan spread themselves out evenly,forming a line,two deep,at the head of the group stood hell,lie,van and drago.they moved forward with care,making sure to check every dark space they came upon.the clan moved at least fifteen feet,when in the light they could now make out a group,standing in a semi circle and at the back of them on some sort of raised platform stood a tall robed figure.this had to be the head of the clan.it looked as though he was pointing to others,telling them were to go.van looked all around,he could see that his force was larger than the one that was now before them,but he knew not too take what he saw at face value.there could be more of them hiding in the shadows,just waiting for there advance.van was wise to this kind of ploy and wouldn't fall into a trap that easerly.”we move but with caution,pass it on”van said,with that he could hear faint whispers going down the line.
