irritation.
The feral smiles that the two men behind her displayed caused a slight rustle among her men. Her guards were not stupid. It was obvious these three were more than willing to start violence. Those that were willing to start violence and yet refrained were rarely ignorant of their abilities.
One of her men shouted back. Unable to keep his temper in check, “Watch how you speak to the Queen! Your Queen is nothing but a false…” The crack of two pistol shots echoed down the chamber. Her man’s head exploded across the one to his right and then against her back wall. His halberd toppled to the ground while his body collapsed.
The white man said, “We will accept a lot of talk…”
The black man finished, “But disrespect of Bethany Anne is not allowed.”
Gabrielle shrugged, “Well, that about finishes my part of this. I can tell Bethany Anne I tried.” She lifted her sword up, “C’mon Kamiko Kana, care for a little girl-on-girl action? My guys are wanting something to turn them on.”
The red in Kamiko’s eyes threatened to blind her vision as she hissed, “Kill them. Kill them all!”
Gabrielle smiled, “Remember she said that guys, I want it known I didn’t start it!”
Scott laughed, “Your command oh fearless leader?” he asked Gabrielle.
Gabrielle smirked, “Fuck’em up.”
Darryl’s pistol started barking as fast as a machine gun, “Sure hope that means kill them, not the other stuff.” He turned his pistol to find new targets.
Scott yelled back as he was racing in vampiric speed to his left, “I’m pretty sure anything means kill them!”
Darryl got busy running to his right, “Then why not just say it?”
Unfortunately, the eight Vampires that were left reached them and stopped Scott’s response.
Kamiko Kana’s mouth was agape. Within seconds of the her command half of her men were dead, their head’s exploding. The female in the middle was attacked by two of her men. She could hear the backup of the second wave rushing down the hallway. The new reinforcements were not the best she had.
She should never have needed the backup at all. But her elite were dying, and dying quickly. The Vampire had just cut the head off of one of her attackers and stabbed through the chain mail of the other. Her kick sent his body flying to slam against a column. Then Kamiko Kana could see her turn her eyes on her.
She wanted to stamp her foot down in frustration! This was wrecking her plans. Her second wave was arriving but it was too late. Kamiko Kana threw down the glass sphere which released the smoke.
She stepped into the Etheric and stumbled into her secret chamber. The calm of her chamber was reassuring as she moved to the hidden door and opened it. She stepped hurriedly into her personal room, her human assistant came running when she pulled the bell cord.
“Mistress?” She huffed, a little breathless from the exertion.
“It is time, Machiko.”
“Time?” Machiko’s face drew down into puzzlement.
“Time!” Kamiko Kana came close, her eyes turned red and Machiko barely had time to gasp before the pain of the bite into her neck erased all other thoughts.
While her men were fighting above, Kamiko Kana drained the blood of her faithful servant of the past twelve years. The young girl’s body dropped down lifeless when Kamiko Kana finished. She stepped over her assistant to grab what she could.
It was time to leave.
“Seems like she didn’t want to stick around!” Scott yelled. He shot another guard in the head as he dodged a halberd. Grabbing the halberd that just went past him by the shaft he kicked the holder who flew back to land in the middle of the room ten feet away. Scott turned the halberd around and used it to first block a swing at him then slice at another. “These things suck!”
Gabrielle stabbed a fourth, “It’s
