Chapter 15: Chapter 14
It took three seconds before Kai dragged John away. In those three seconds the wolves that stood surprised in the elevator had managed to recognize the prince as a vampire. One of them actually had pointed at him, raising his voice and exclaiming vampire in excitement. Kai had gulped and taken the human as far away as he could, hoping that they wouldn't go after them.
Of course they would. Kai and the human at the moment were like two mice hunted by a cat. They would be followed and probably caught.
«Boss, why did he say vampire? Why are we running? What's going on?» John asked. His feet sloppily landed on the floor with the red carpet. He felt like a child being taken away from the candy aisle by his mother. The problem was though that Kai, he was not his mother and he was very fast. So fast the poor human felt like soon he would collapse. He released his hand, messily landing onto the ground right at the moment they reached the emergency exit. A long staircase was spreading before them and at the sight of all those stairs John gasped. He was already out of breath as it was.
«John, we need to leave. There is no time. If they catch us we are screwed» Kai told him and helped him get up. This was the first time he was seeing his boss panic. Just from that he had a faint idea of how things were. The man who never showed any kind of emotion had shown everything in just one day.
«Why did they call you a vampire?» John asked him, refusing to follow him down the stairs. «This seems very suspicious. Boss, where did you bring me?» he asked and Kai groaned. He grabbed John's arm, his eyes looking warily at the corner hoping that the wolves would not catch up to them until he had convinced John to leave.
«I will tell you everything when we get back to the shop. Let's go now. We need to go. These people, they are not nice John.» he said.
«No. I know you won't tell me when we get back. You're going to avoid the subject and…» the human began saying, upset that some big secret had escaped him. He stopped mid sentence when he heard laughter. Not the kind of laughter you hear when someone is happy though. It was psychotic and hostile. The people he had seen at the elevator were turning at the corner, their smiling faces appearing as if from a nightmare and John gulped. They looked scary, he realized and finally of his own will he started running down the stairs together with Kai. «These guys look scary» he commented and Kai scoffed.
They were close to the end. They would simply have to open the door and find themselves in the street. Once they reached the outside the wolves would be forced to obey the rules and both of them would be safe. That was Kai's simple plan. The truth was he had remained away from action for a while. He was rusty. Not only his fighting skills but his insight too. He believed a chase like that would end so easily, he was obviously wrong. Because the universe did not like him, it never did.
Right at the moment when he reached the door, his hand on the handle ready to turn it and free them both, a wolf jumped from the previous floor right in front of him. Kai flinched, stepping back and bumping into John who fell down in shock. It wasn't very usual to see someone jump off a floor and land perfectly fine on his feet.
«Boss. I think you missed to tell me a few things about this mission of yours» John said, now completely terrified. He could hear the footsteps of the rest approaching and his body felt too weak for him to get up.
Kai sighed, locking eyes with the mischievous wolf and threw a punch at him. The man not expecting it received it right on his nose, blood spilling from his nostrils. He covered his wound for a second before he launched at him. Kai dodged him, taking a very elegant turn before he raised his leg and kicked him in the stomach. The man was kicked so hard he landed on the other side of the wall. John believed he would be dead after that but apparently he wasn't.
He stood up, dusting off his shoulders and he smiled.
«You're strong» he said and Kai shrugged his shoulders.
«And you're not.» he provoked him, cursing his instincts. There was a time he had loved to fight and his old habits seemed to be surfacing once again. As the wolf ran towards him, his arm raised in the air ready to punch him, he grabbed him from his shirt, ducking his fist. He raised his head and hit him with its top right at the chin, breaking it. He screamed and tried to release himself from Kai's grip but he wouldn't let go.
«Let's see…» the vampire prince mumbled. «How should I kill you»
«Boss!» John screamed, drawing his attention. Kai looked at him, realizing that John had seen something. He followed his eyes meeting with the rest of his friends. Suddenly he started to panic. He had gotten distracted, he had been foolish and arrogant. Once again he was going to pay for his stupid mistakes but this time John would pay with him.
«John open the door and run! Hurry ! I….» he said. He wanted to tell the human to leave but he didn't have the time to finish his sentence. He had been shot. Not by an actual gun, that wouldn't hurt him, he wouldn't even mind the pain. It was another kind of gun, its bullet filled with a magical sedative that was made for vampires. He felt the liquid spread through his veins and his eyes began to feel heavy. He let go of the wolf he was holding and stumbled. Landing right on top of John.
«Boss, Boss» the young man cried terrified. He heard their rushing footsteps. He also heard the wolf he had beat up swear at him and John, he was crying. Soon though everything turned hazy. He fell unconscious, his surroundings ending up a deep black.
