The Healer's Guardian Chapter 5

It happened so fast that didn't feel real. Demaya was walking up to me smiling and Breanna was behind her. Dehsarc, grabbed her. "Breanna!" Yelled. She got out of his struggle and ran to me. The next thing knew Amari, my best friend that I've known since we were younger. He had her. "Don't move brother," Dehsarc warned. "Don't hurt her. Don't." In the same moment he snapped her neck.

Everyone gasped was on the ground next to her body. "She was only human. Who knew you had such a nice heart." From behind me heard Demaya whispering. The only word caught was. "That's the key," stood up and everyone was with me all the werewolf half breeds. Dehsarc started clapping. "Yes, yes now get to kill all of you at once and Dimitri can go last.

"Oh yeah? You and what army?" Asked. Demaya hit me as Dehsarc started talking to other people in our group. Damn for a girl she sure does hit hard rubbed my arm. "What?" Asked. "The key," she said was confused. "Dimitri, he doesn't have a pure heart. He doesn't love or care about anyone. Only the king of night would care about a human girl."

"She was not just a human girl," snapped in a low whisper. "She was my best friend."
"I know, My point was he can never be the king of night he would have to impress them." She pointed above. Dehsarc walked over to us. Let's go. We all unwillingly followed him and entered a place with a man and a woman and there two children. The daughter and the son. MY eyes and the girls eyes were locked onto each other. It was as if she knew exactly what was going on. Or she knew what supposibley am.

We stood before them. Dehsarc whispered in my ear. "This army," he pointed to everyone surrounding us gulped. The woman stood and everyone bowed. Everyone knows don't bow to anyone not even if just performed an act and people were applauding would just walk off the stage. Everyone stared at me as did the woman. "As you know this is my daughter, Marabella Amunette Dragomir. This is my son Andrew the 3rd."

The man stood. "Two each is own." He said. "You may begin was confused. "We are about to fight." Demaya told me nodded ok. Everyone started to attack everyone as they just watched Marabella's eyes were kept on me all the while. Didn't want to kill anyone. The man and woman stared at me with exasperated expressions.

Dehsarc came at me and fell to the ground he stomped m y rib cage in and moved before he could smash my face got up and fought back, didn't hesitate this time hit him kicked him punched him and tried my hardest to kill him thought about how dad left because of him. Thought about how he used to intentionally hurt me, thought about him killing Amari and how much wanted to snap his neck, but stopped.

All the hybrids stood before me protecting me. His army was dead. Bodies were everywhere as they turned into ash. Everything seemed awfully desolate between Dehsarc and the ground. He grabbed Breanna gasped as he snapped her neck. My whole world shut down wanted to kill him. The man and woman stood up.

"Enough," we turned to them. "Marabella ran down and hugged me was astonished. They stared at their daughter like she just solved a mysterious mystery. "Mother. Father. This is the one," the one thought what is she talking about surely this can't be about me.

Demaya looked at my hurt eyes and asked that Marabellla step away looked down at Breanna's corpse. But the thing was... there was no corpse or ash. Where did she? How did she? He killed her. I saw it with my own eyes.

The man and woman stepped down and touched my face. "My it is you." Stared into her eyes she smiled and smiled back she hugged me. "You look just like your father," she turned to Dehsarc and you as your mother and you my beautiful young woman, you look like both you parents and my what a fine family they have made.

"What has gotten into you Dehsarc? Fighting your brother for his rightful thrown."
"Don't want it." Everyone stared at me." You can't deny what your destined for laughed watch me. Dehsarc and his other Army were ready to attack. "I'll make a deal. Bring your Army two days from now at dawn 'brother' and this time will not hold back will kill you. And will not fail." Walked away and the hybrids followed me.

We went back to the house that seemed abandoned. "BREANNA!" Yelled hoping she'd answer. It was dead silenct. Ready for what tomorrow would bring. My words to Dehsarc echoed my head will not fail said again to myself before falling into a deep sleep. It was a cloudy day today as I woke up and looked out of the window. Everything was still clear to me in last nights events, downstairs everyone was laughing and making jokes as if nothing happened. So many things were on my mind and I could not escape the fact that I was going to kill my own flesh and blood.

It didn't make a difference as to who died and to who lived. The girl I deeply loved was gone. The girl who loved both of us was gone. If she came back that might change. And if I could bring her back we would go away forever. Away from all this chaos. And the danger.

Footsteps penetrated the floor and a knock came to my room. I shut my eyes. The door opened and the princess came in and sat on my bed. "I know you're awake." I opened my eyes. "And how did you know that?" She shrugged. "I have my ways."

"May I help you?" She nodded. "I know where she is." My smile faded. "SHE IS ALIVE!? I yelled accidentally. "Shhh quiet. Yes she is alive. But you cannot see her." I stood up. "And why not?" She looked down. "It is forbidden for you two to be together." I looked into her eyes to see that she was telling the truth.

"How can it be forbidden for us to be together?" "I really don't know." We stared at each other for what seemed like Hours but it was only 10 minutes, I couldn't say anything. "Where is she?" She looked up realizing I was speaking to her. "Dehsarc has her." "How did she die and then disappear?"

"She didn't die, she was a part of it the whole time. Father could tell. He knows everything. "Why would she do that to me?" "She knows that you are forbidden to even touch her." "I don't understand. What is so special about her that I can't even touch her?" "She's rare." "How rare?" "The most rarest princess of us all."

"Princess?" "Yes, I didn't want to say it." "You're jealous?" "Well I wouldn't call it that but technically I am." "Tell me more."

"She came from a family of the great ancient war. They became the king and queen. Breanna was just a little girl when this happened. One night as we slept in her room. The nights moon was full and the king of night your ancestor was to kill his threat. Breanna was just a vampire then a little new-born that didn't know the difference between good and bad. The night was still. The men were real. They came into the house with torches and swords because of the monsters they assumed us to be. Breanna and I got out and her parents got caught in a fire. She stayed with us until one night when she turned 13 and was turned into our enemy.

She knew she couldn't come back and we barely had seen her last night. My father didn't think possible. But the whole time you were with the most rarest and beautiful princess.

We went downstairs. "But Dehsarc..." "He knows already, she just doesn't know she knows.

The realization hit me hard then. I looked at everyone, "Dehsarc wants to be the king of night to rule us all and have all the power with the most powerful princess alive because she has powers that can enslave the world to do what she and her mate wants."

Everyone clapped.
"Bravo finally you're not an outsider."
The rest of the day went by slow. And I was ready for tomorrow. we all sat and ate and watched movies until night fall and we practiced out fighting. No lessons we just fought no matter how bad we hurt each other.

And that meant war to save a princess, the girl I love and to kill my once kind-hearted brother. I was ready for tonight. The whole day we practiced until we were sore. I didn’t understand how much pain they were in as I was making them work for my own benefit. Then I heard a cry. Isabelle fell to the floor. I ran to her side and saw the bruises which went all the up her thigh.

"Alright enough, everyone stop." They all stopped and turned to Ricardo and I for further direction. "Take showers and rest up for tonight. It’s a big night and it must be perfect," said Ricardo. I picked up Isabelle. "Are you alright?"

She nodded. "Thank you." I took her upstairs to my bed. "I will be right back." I ran downstairs and got ice and wrapped it in a paper towel. I put it on her leg and she gasped. It's going to be cold. "I broke it." I looked down at her leg. It was in another direction.

I can’t believe I didn’t notice that before. I gave her a wooden spoon. "Bite down." I grabbed her leg and re-broke it. She yelled at a low voice, but everyone came rushing in. "What happened?" Asked Jake and Chris at the same time.

"Her leg was broken. I had to re-break it in order for it to heal before tonight. I smiled. "Why are you smiling?" Asked Nicki. "I know that if we were really in trouble I can count on you. Demaya came upstairs and everyone stared at her. She smiled.

We all smiled. "I have the greatest plan ever." She signaled us to follow her and we did. We were in the backyard. A bunch of vampires and werewolves stood before us. I gasped. "How did you get all of them?" "Dimitri, this is my family. This is our family."

I shook my head. "No, they aren’t fighting." "Dimitri, they want to help. "Demaya, they can’t. We can’t lose them. And I would never do anything to harm your family." She looked at me. "Our family."

A woman with hazel eyes stood up and took my face in her hands. "You’re a great warrior. You are perfect as I remember." I stared at the mysterious woman our eyes attached. I fought back tears. "Dimitri, this is our real mother."

I grabbed her waist and she pulled me close. "I love you," she said. I was astonished. "And I love you, mom." She smiled.

Then a man stepped up and put his hand on my shoulder. "I am your father." He hugged me to. And there we stood in the open, of all my family and the hybrids.

We all stepped away from each other and I continued to argue. I thought about the woman, I thought were my mother and I felt the power to protect my mother. "You’re not fighting. Or you.

They nodded. We are not fighting, but they are. "You have to know something," I said thinking about Dehsarc. "Dehsarc is the one I have to kill." He took the life of my best friend. And he is going to use a powerful princess to become the King of night.

She nodded. "We know." I looked at her confused. "The same thing happened to your father and his father and his father's father. It a generation order. But they're not all just misunderstood brothers, they're also friends, cousins, and any family member.

"I think we need a big plan," said Ricardo. I nodded. We all went into the house as night fall became clear. I am ready. I really am especially with my mother and father alive I am ready to kill.

The plan was simple and easy, but it made me anxious. Everyone was geared up and ready, we walked at the corner of the forest. "Wait for Ricardo and my signals to move ahead I don’t want anyone getting hurt.

Isabelle, Demaya , Jake Chris, and Jesus with me. The rest follow Ricardo's lead. Half of my family members with me and the other half with Ricardo. Mom and dad with me please.

We all walked at a fast pace in order to get there before them. We came to a stop and Dehsarc and I stared at each other. My family was hiding, this was part of the plan.

"Brother such an amazing group." Said Dehsarc as what seemed like an army lined up behind him.

"Let's get this over with." I looked up and the moon barely peaked out from the clouds.

And tonight was the full moon. Prologue - Vampires

The nightly shadows dawned over the Brooklyn alley; the mist heavily cast over the concrete ground. A lonely Bum travels through them looking for a nice place to spend his night. The dark bags under his eyes started growing heavier by the minute, until finally he decided to pass out where his feet fell. Even though it rained the old street Bum was tired, and didn't want to go anywhere else. He slowly crawled under a small piece of damping cardboard, and tried to sleep. Yet he couldn't, not far off along the alley a tin can rolled along. Clink, clink, and clink it rolled, sounding as if somebody was kicking. Not wanting to be disturbed, he crawled up into a tight ball, trying to cover his body completely by the frail piece of cardboard. He thought he succeeds, but he was wrong.

Clink, clink, ting; the Can had made its way to the street Bum, and so did the mysterious kicker. The street Bum tried to stay where he was, but then he a felt a soft kick on the cardboard. Well anger rushed through the Bum, and he quickly crawled out from the piece of cardboard. The Bum was surprised when he saw what was standing there. It was a little girl, blonde, green eyes, and a tattered blue dress. "Little girl, why are you out here all alone, and this late at night." The Bum spoke carefully, and concerned; the Bum was secretly hoping for a home cook meal, or a bed as a reward for the lost child. The child didn't reply to the Bum, but she just stared blankly at him.

As the Bum shifted his position so did the girl. She was now in the crystal light of the moon. The bellowing moon light gave the Bum a chance to clearly see the little girl. Her skin was wrinkled, and gray. Her eyes sunken way into her face, her pupils bloodshot, and there was heavy dark circle under her eyes; the bags under her eyes were as black as the abyss that followed her. He slowly rose, and put a hand on the girl's shoulder. As soon as the bums hand landed on her shoulder the little girl reacted. She backed away, and started to scream. Her eyes jumped forward and turned blood-red. The scream coming out of her mouth was more of an alarm, then a scream. She keep screaming, and back up as the Bum moved.

The Bum was scared, and didn't know what was happening. Quickly he decided that he would run; so he did. He ran through the alley way, his feet splashing along the puddles produced by the rain. He kept running, and as he did he didn't even think of looking back. Then he saw the advancing shadows leaping across the roof tops. Seeing this made him run faster, and faster. He was about into the safety of the street, and public. Then his feet flew from under him, and he flew forward, slowly falling to the ground. As he reached impact his knees popped, sending pain shooting up his legs, then into his body. Not having the strength to get up, he crawled trying to get help. He started to scream, hoping to get a person attention, but he didn't get any whatsoever. He kept crawling, and crawling until the shadows came down from the roof tops.

The things came down fast, and landed without a struggle at all. The Bum painfully looked up at the things. They mostly looked normal besides for the shrunken eyes, and gray wrinkled skin. The things had the same physical features as the girl the Bum encountered not long ago. The Bum looked up at the creature with eyes filled with fear. His heart was pumping wildly, and blood was pulsing rapidly in his temples. "What are you things, and what do you want from Me." The Bum screamed at the things standing there in front of him; they didn't reply. Then the creatures dropped to their knees, and gripped the Bum in their grips. The Bum tried to scream, but as the creatures gripped him his body relaxed, and sort of shut down. Fearful and dazed he watched the creatures. Their jaws arched, and two sharp long teeth protruded through their tops gums; sliding teeth out-of-the-way as they came. Their eyes became mere silts, and turned entirely black. Then they closed in on the poor Bum, know also known as their new meal.

They slid their teeth into the victim's arms, and being to draw what they needed. They weren't taking his blood, but instead they were sucking his soul dry, and depleting his life force. The bum's skin was quickly turning gray, and withering. Then his eye drew in, and sunk into his face. With one last second the Bum's heart stopped pulsing, and his skin grew cold. The creature stood up, and they started to change. Their skin grew plump, and color quickly returned to their body. Their eyes pushed forward, grew color again; the normal outside white, and the center pupil a dashing blue.

Then one spoke from out of nowhere. "Stupid street Bums don't know when were even coming; Being as stupid, and naive as they are, these Bums are make hunting a lot easier." The one said. "Don't get cocky. We got one, but let force was weak in this one, we will need more by sunrise if we want to survive another night." The other creature said maturely to other. Then with that they jumped into the night, and started to sprint a top Brooklyn's slum tops. Quickly they were engulfed by the night shadows.

Part 1 - Different

A young guy with the name of Sergel, and of at least the age of 18 stood in the alley way. Watching the poor Bum get attacked. He would have tried to helped, but he was immobilized by fear. He heard the screaming of the bum, and came running to help him. Then he saw the two shadows jump down from the roof top, and even after the things left he stayed where he was. For several more minutes he stayed just staring at the body of the poor man. He was caught off guard, and filled with disbelief. Slowly the corpse lifted his self off the ground, and started to walk away.

Yes, Sergel was filled with fear, but he was also filled with curiosity. So he was going to find out how the Bum just stood up after getting brutally murder. That's what he planned to do, so he stealthily got up, and started to follow the stumbling bum. Slowly rounding the corner he watched the Bum clumsily walk down the street. Quickly Sergel started to realize something was changing in the man. The Bum was walking faster, and his posture was straightening. Well now the Bum was running at full speed, and it was all that Segel could do to keep up. The Bum quickly turned off into an alley. Running just as fast Sergel turned into the same alley trying to stay at the same pace. Right as Sergel turned into the alley way he watched the Bum take off into the shadows. Sergel was baffled at what he witnessed. One moment the guy was running, and next he flew off into the sky shadows, with a single leap at that.

So Sergel just stood there watching, just staring at the sky; Mesmerized by what he witness. His body chilled by the fact of the paranormal events that he just watched through his own eyes. Finally he decided to go home, and figure it all out. Mostly because he believe that if he stood around any longer he probably would have been attacked like the Bum had. So he got up, and started to walk away, and he did so quickly. Every sound he heard made him freak, and turn around in a 360 degree; and in the city there was always a noise. Sergel had also watched every shadow until he was clear out-of-the-way of it. It was hard, and his heart was racing almost like a humming-bird when he got to his house, but he made it. Sergel felt like it had been hours he spent trying to get home, and by the time he did he was dead tired. Saying the word dead made him shiver, and laugh; it was an eerie combination, but he let it come, and go gradually.

He walked to the door, and slid his spare key from out of a hollow point above the handle. He slid the key into the lock, and turned it; the door came easily. Sergel walked inside, and locked the door behind him. He flipped on the light in his kitchen. His kitchen was a small, but quiet roomy. The floor was lined with blue diamond tile, and the walls were covered in green paint, with few chunks, and chips in the wall. Sergel walked up to the fridge, and grabbed a soda out of it. Then walking out of the kitchen he left the light on; he was still paranoid of what he witnessed earlier before. He went and sat down in the living room; it was the living room was the largest area next to kitchen.

The floor was covered with red shaggy carpet, and a large blue throw rug carpet in the middle of the room. A medium 20 inch TV sat on top of a rolling cart in his living room, which he moved around to different places within his home. He only had one piece of furniture; a large couch which belonged to his grandparents, he got when grandparents passed. He sat on the couch for a couple of minutes drinking his soda, and then he felt the sleep coming on so he decided to go to bed; it was almost a challenge trying not to stumble, and fall getting to the bedroom. His room was the smallest room of them all just enough room for a bed, and a dresser. He climbed into bed, and closed his eyes; it only took a couple of minutes for him to drift off.

*************************************************************
Sergel slept hard during the night, and didn't wake once. It was late in the night when Sergel's worst fears came to life. Guided by shadows, and accompanied by the night, a creature appears at the foot of Sergel's apartment. It was the creature he saw earlier that attacked the bum; the creature's name was Ramsey. Even though it was only hours ago Ramsey was starting to lose his life force. The Bum provided a quick meal, but he knew it was only going to last a little while, and now he was ready for more. Ramsey was sent on a mission to retrieve the human who witnessed the attack on the bum, and that's where he was now. He slowly climbed up the building into the fire escape, until he was In front of window of Sergel's apartment. So bad he wanted to break in, and kill him, and take his soul for his own. Yet he couldn't do that for two reasons. Ramsey and his kind couldn't enter a victim's house uninvited, and or with a last chance of a withering soul. Then the other reason was if he went rogue, and didn't complete his mission, he would be tracked down, and killed.

He decided that he needed to hurry, and get the human; because he couldn't wait any longer to get more energy that he needed. So he knocked on the window, over, and over. Then he touched his throat a little, and began to speak. "Please help me, I need help please." Ramsey sounded just like a little child. "Please help, help me please." Ramsey felt morally proud of his skill. He learned it while back and now he could change his voice when pleased. Then spoke again hoping he would get the humans attention.

"Please help me if the guy finds me again he will kill me." Waiting in the shadows Ramsey watched, and then a devious smile whipped across his face. He slowly watched as the human (Sergel) walked to the window, and opened it up. He slowly put his head out, and looked out onto the fire escape, "Hello, hello kid where are you." Sergel spoke out into the darkness. "If you can hear me, come here, and come in, and I'll help you get home." then out of the darkness came Ramsey, and slowly Sergel backed up when he saw the creature. Ramsey walked through the window, and deviously said, "Well, if it isn't the little human that was dropping in on our little meal." Then Ramsey jumped forward, and grabbed Sergel in his cold clutches, and jumped away into the night.
