Tom and Jamie had entered the mansion and were firing away at the wolves from in the doorframe. “We should close the door and fire from the windows to keep them out. We’re to vulnarable here.” Jamie noted. Tom nodded in agreement as he took the left door.
They closed it in perfect harmony and ten of the refugees, including two small children came running to barricade it. “You two shouldn’t be here now. Go upstairs and wait untill we’re done.” The children obeyed and ran upstairs. Tom thanked the men for their help and quickly followed Jamie into the main hall from where they could find a perfect spot with a view on the main door. The wolves tried to break down the door by repeatedly running into it. The refugees managed to hold them outside but didn’t know how much longer they could handle the pressure. Several crack started to appear in it as Jamie and Tom found it’s way to the huge amount of refugees and sleeping bags.
They heard a loud noise coming from the hallway. The old and fragile door had given up sooner then they thought. The refugees could make a run for the main room before the wolves had a chance to tear away at them. Tom and Jamie moved back into the hall and fired away at the wolves that came storming in. One or two managed to break through the rain of hail that came down on them and went for Jamie. Two shots and they were dealt with. Alexander stood there, his guns smoking.
They needed a rest, just like him.
“Glad you could make it in time.” Tom said as he shot the last of the werewolves.
“We made it.” Jamie shouted in excitement. The people in the room cheered and everyone wanted to shake hands with their saviours. Little good blood had been shed tonight, and this had to be celebrated.
Another fight that no one was aware of still went on outside of the mansion. Louie was running for the fountain but arrived but a moment to late. The sniper had fired his gun and the pulled pierced through Louie’s right eye. He fell down to the ground, there was little left of his face. Dry blood and pieces of soft tissue surrounded the hole that had taken away his right eye and a part of his mouth and nose.
He did not move and the sniper was pleased. He quickly dismantled his sniper rifle and put it in a backpack which he swung around his shoulder. The rabbit removed her bandana to reveal long flowing dark hair that came to rest on his shoulders.
He took a small box of cigarettes from his baggy trousers and put one between his lips.
The dark green furred rabbit did not light it as he descended off the stairs.
He walked over to the fountain and stood over the body of the dead vampire. It wasn’t untill he made sure that the vampire was dead that he lit his cigarette, the dancing flame smoldered the tip and he inhaled deeply. The rabbit closed his eyes to enjoy a good ending to another hard days work. Louie opened his left eye and grabbed the rabbit by the ankle.
The rabbit was horrified, the vampire should’ve remained still for at least another hour. Which would’ve given him plenty of time to inject him with the lethal dose of nitrate.
He had been wrong and now the vampire was gently crawling up. He reached for the needle that contained the nitrate. It wasn’t to late yet to dispose of him. He just had to move a little faster. The rabbit pushed his cigarette into the gaping hole in Louie’s face.
Louie’s rage and anger had gone beyond control, he grabbed the wrist with which the rabbit was holding the needle and snapped it. He then snapped his other one and managed to pull himself up. The hole in his face was slowly generating, but came to a stop when his mouth was finished. “This is all I needed.” Louie told himself and he sank his fangs into the rabbits neck draining him from all of his blood. With every drop he took another piece of tissue was restored untill he had drained him empty. Louie let go off him and the dead rabbit lay in front of his feet. “You couldn’t resist biting an innocent could you?” He heard, followed by the click of a gun. “It’s not what you think it is Alexander.” He said, truthfully in his defense.
“These bullets are filled with a dose of silver nitrate, your dead will be inevideble.”
Alexander fired but Louie quickly dodged the bullet and jumped into the fountain. He had just fed and all of his strengths had restored to it’s fullest. Alexander ran for the fountain but could not find Louie anywhere in it. “Come out and fight like a man.” Alexander shouted.
“Listen to me and then decide wheter you want to shoot me.” Alexander fired in the direction where the voice had come from, but all he hit was a tree.
“He was the sniper that was part of their group, he started to fire away at me and hit me…” He got cut short since Alexander fired another round. “… He walked over to me to inject a lethal dosage of Nitrate into me. It was either him or me.” Alexander lowered his gun when he looked the man in the face. “Cooper.”
“You know this man?” Tom asked.
“He’s with my orginization. He’s an aural sniper. An enhanced vision and the ability to detect monsters from miles away. He probably could not tell Louie from any other vampire and decided that he’d make a good pray.”
“An innocent misunderstanding then?” Tom asked when he spotted Louie walking towards them. He looked healthy and more alive then during the fight.
“It seems so.” Alexander put his gun away. He should probably apoligize, but he was only doing his job and decided that an apoligy wasn’t necessary.
Good or bad, he was a vampire after all. Jamie seemed to share this logic.
“Can anyone tell me why you are standing up for this vampire?”
