Chapitre 43: One's Death
Slacovich and Ara waited patiently for new infos on Blu's movement. He was last seen entering an abandoned warehouse next to a fishing port. According to the shadow guard who's been following Blu, there are a lot of children inside that warehouse. Three of them are confirmed to be Ara's friends. Vera instructs her men to clear the area before they take action. His men immediately set out and head to the fishing port. Simply evacuating the innocent people without making such ruckus. When everything's clear and everyone evacuated, Vera, Slacovich and Ara together with the Black Knight's combat unit went straight to the place. It didn't take long they arrive at the place. Everything's so quiet as the combatants circles the warehouse. The shadow guard informs Vera that Blu's currently feasting on some children's blood making Ara angry.
"That fool! I will never forgive myself if anything happens to them. Slacovich we need to enter now!" Ara's clenching her fists unable to stay in one place out of urge to take down Blu.
"Vera let me and Ara handle this."
"Okay, we'll be here as back up."
"Make sure no one comes out alive from the enemy's side."
"I know, you don't have to tell me that." Slacovich changes into his vampire form, spread his wings and fly towards the roof as Ara did the same but prefers to enter through the door. She kicked the steel door knocking it down. The warehouse is just an empty space except for the lying bodies of the newly drained kid. She can see Blu still sucking out blood from a kid who's very familiar to her.
"ALI!!" She screamed out loudly from what she's seeing. She rushed towards Blu grabbing his head up to remove his fangs from Ali's neck. She can hear children's cries inside a locked door. She tackles Blu loosening his grip on Ali's body. Slacovich jumps down helping Ara save Ali from Blu's brutal grip. Ali's bones were broken by the brute force that's gripping his body as he was being drained. Ali managed to open his eyes for a bit and smiled seeing Ara's face again.
"Bi----g si-------s A----ara----" Ali takes his final breath and slowly turns into ashes.
"No! No! Ali don't disappear on me!" She hugged him tighty but only ashes are on her hands. Slacovich pushes Blu to the ground locking both arms as he grab his head in anger. A woman's laugh echoed inside the warehouse, they can here footsteps getting closer and closer.
"What a heartbreaking scene, you can win the best actress awat for this." Stacy stops and claps seeing Ara in despair.
"Stacy!" Ara slowly stands gathering her composure. In her mind she'll definitely make everyone who hurt those children pay a great price. Blu turns around when he felt that Slacovich got distracted. He then pushes him away and regroups with Stacy.
"How does it feel losing someone important right in front of you? Satisfying right? Hahaha." Stacy felt great satisfaction seeing Ara the way she is now.
"Ali and the rest has nothing to do with our conflicts."
"Being someone precious to you make them involve. Timothy died on Tyler's hands now it's payback time. One kid down, 2 more to go." Stacy disappears and reappears in front of the locked door. Stacy removes the lock and enter the room, the children's cries gets louder and louder. One girl cries out loud as Stacy grabs her hair pulling her out of the room.
"ANIA! Let her go! Settle this matter with me don't get them involve!"
"So her name's Ania, what a cute name. I told you, they're already involved."
"Let me go! Big sis Ara help me!!" Ania struggles to make Stacy let go of her hair.
"Ania I'll save you no matter what. Where's Inka?" Ania just cried which means she's the only one alive out of the three.
"Inka, she was killed by this woman!" Ania struggles even harder making Stacy annoyed and throws her away. Ara caught Ania in time and her back hits the wall instead of Ania's from the impact.
"A-Ania are you okay?" Ara caresses Ania's cheek then wipes away her tears.
"Big sis you saved me." Ania buries her face on Ara's chest as she burst into tears. Ara stands up carrying the sobbing kid in her arms.
"All of you are gonna pay for every life you've taken. Those children are innocent yet both of you ended their lives like it was nothing." Slacovich takes Ania from her arms but little Ania refuses. Out of no where Stacyand Blu's reinforcements arrived at the scene. They're surrounded by them but Vera and the black knight combatants enters the warehouse as the shadow guard reported the arrival of more enemies.
"Slacovich, Ara hand the girl over to me. I'll take her to a safe place." Vera steps in.
"Ania listen carefuly, I'll let Big sis Vera protect you okay? You'll be safer with her. She's a good person. I'll be with you when I'm done here. So be a good girl and follow what big sis tells you okay?" Ara kisses her forehead then with a blink of an eye she appears beside Vera.
"Big sis Ara, please be careful. I can't lose you too." Ania wraps her arms around Vera's nape and leans on her shoulder crying. Vera turns around to leave but Stacy ordered her men to attack her.
"Don't let her leave this place alive. Kill all of them!" Stacy dashes towards Vera who's walking away but Ara blocks her.
"Leave them alone, you're fighting with me!" She then pushes Stacy back and kicks her on the stomach making her fly a few meters away from where she is standing. Blu and Slacovich stares at each other observing every bit of their muscle movements. Waiting for either of them to give the signal. Blu grins as he return Slacovich's deadly glare.
"Well, well it's just a matter of who's gonna take the first shot. Slacovich my boy, I never thought your that greedy to own such powers to yourself. Mr. Volton Hellgazer is such a generous fella that he shared his powers with me. But I can't control the thirst running down my throat. The children's blood are quite tasty that I lose control and can't get enough of it." Blu licks his lips like he can still taste the blood from those children he killed.
"You disgust me. An old man like you should just lay low and stay inside the house and read newspapers."
"That's not what I lived for. You've always been merciful and that will eventually cost your life."
"It's never been my choice to kill. You exactly know the reason."
"That even makes me wanna strangle you to death."
"I treated you like my father."
"But you were never a son to me." Blu dashes beside Slacovich who's still calm and composed. He just states back at Blu whenever their eyes meet.
"That's sad. Good thing you never treated me like one. That makes killing you easy. I won't hold back just because you were once a friend."
"Be my guess. Let's see if you can even land a single blow. In the end, I'm the one who taught you how to fight." Blu chokes Slacovich and drag him into the wall raising him up in the air. Slacovich grips tightly on Blu's choking arm and shrug it off. Both of their attacks can't be seen by ordinary people. It's so fast that all you can feel are the brute gust of wind everytime their attacks meet. Slacovich reaches out for his knife and swings it on Blu's waist but Blu managed to dodge it and takes a step away from Slacovich.
"Oh ho, you think you're the only one with a weapon? Everyone, kill whomever steps in your way and feast on their bloods." Blu lets out a gun with a magazin full of silver bullets. He aims it at Slacovich firing it at once. Slacovich dodges every gunshot and seek somewhere he can hide. He sees a little opening and hides there for the meantime.
"Hiding like a mice? How can you be so coward nowadays. The Slacovich I know won't hide like that-"
"Who said I'm hiding?" He suddenly aims his knife on Blu's throat.
"I saw you entered that little hole like a mouse. How did you manage to get here all of a sudden?" Blu clenches his teeth.
"You're just a lowly 3rd gen vampire while you're facing a pure blooded one. You are not even a match but should be honored to be killed by my hands." Slacovich sliced up his throat and pushes him down.
"You------- hahaha." Blu laughs hard even though he's slowly running out of breath.
"What's so funny? Have you gone mad? Did the serum destroyed your brain all of a sudden?"
"You fool! You've fallen in Mr. Hellgazer's bait."
"What do you mean?" He grabbed Blu's shirt.
"You're beloved hunters will all fall when the night comes. He surely know you're gonna go after me. Without your presence in there, they will no longer live to see tomorrow."
"Heh, you think so? Did Volton know that Queen Sofie arrived together with the Black Knight Society? If not, then his army will be killed instead."
"Don't be so cocky. That's exactly the plan. Sofie will fall into Volton's hands and she'll obey every word he'll say. Someone from his trusted reapers knows hypnosis. Sofie will be alert when it comes to vampires but Volton already planted the bomb inside Sun University. Furthermore, when Sofie gets to see him face to face she'll fall into his trap." Slacovich chuckles after hearing Blu's confession.
"Li did Sofie heard everything?" Slacovich speaks on his watch.
"Loud and clear. Don't worry about us Slacovich, we'll be alert if someone suspicious will try to sneak up to her." Li's voice is put on loudspeak for Blu to hear it. Everyone from the Sun University has been alerted about the spy. Tyler runs a thorough scan to everyone at the University. The search for the spy begins.
