Chapter 476 Chapter 476
But in a millisecond, two more zombie werewolves- black eyes glistening- jaws wide open, and arms wide open, literally descended on poor Reaves.
Crunch-crunch!
Two different sets of yellow teeth- long and triangular, sank into each of Reaves\' wrists. Rich dark blood stained their teeth. Snarling, they bit through his flesh, breaking his veins, chewing straight into his bones.
Reaves tried to scream- but barely ended up wheezing through his shredded throat. Under the weight of four werewolves, he doubled over- falling with his head backwards. The lower part of his skull smashed right into the stone pavement- and a fresh blinding pain exploded in his head.
In the background, Tiffany\'s screams continued to erupt.
Abby stood there, barely fifteen feet away- watching with round eyes.
Over Reaves\' soon-to-be corpse, seven different werewolves huddled over him- snarling, and growling in a pool of mangled intestines, blood soaked organs, and broken bones. In a frenzied attack, four separate beasts gnawed on his thighs- biting off his two feet completely!
The foul stench of their decaying innards filled the courtyard.
The slicing, thrashing, moist sounds, echoed in the air- tainting the atmosphere with the tinge of savagery.
Just as a set of nasty claws ripped open the skin of his scrotum, Tiffany\'s screaming body jostled right out of the safe house. Her feet barely touching the ground- elbows swinging, and her thighs straining under her dress- she she burst out from between the door posts!
Her long hair swept in the breeze hair, and her whitened face screamed along with her shrill tongue. Like a vengeful ghost, she raced brazenly towards the pile of beasts. In a daze, she was forced to watch as they gobbled up her father\'s remains- like a pack of rabid dogs!
Dracula remained on his cloud of black smoke- straddled in his flapping robes, clutching his black horn, and watching with an incredulous smirk.
"You son of a bitch!!" Tiffany cried- raging towards him; "You evil mother fuc**r!! I\'m going to kill you!! I\'m going to cut you open!!"
In a daze, she breezed right into Abby\'s shoulders- sending the other girl flying out of the way!
Behind her, Nexus appeared- hot on her heels- long hair flapping in the wind, and clean shaven face twisted in a vicious snarl! His right arm was stretched out, fighting against speed and distance, trying desperately to lay hold on the crazed girl.
"Damn it Tiff! You\'re gonna get yourself killed!"
But she ignored him.
Her white clad form hurtled across the moonlit courtyard- striding through the sea of gray shadows, and swirling smoke. Eyes bleeding hot tears, throat parched from high pitched screams, Tiffany lunged towards Dracula- intending to do nothing but murder him ten times over!
Just ahead, with a lazy spin of his head, the alchemist turned his gaze on her-almost in a bored manner;
"A child that doesn\'t learn from his father\'s mistakes, will be killed by the same thing that killed his father."
His voice was almost poetic- maybe even fore brooding. But Tiffany, less than twenty feet away, fixed her homicidal eyes on Dracula- panting heavily;
"I\'M-GOING-TO-KILL-YOU!!!" she rasped.
"Oh, well," he shrugged; "If that\'s how you want it. . ."
Nexus\' eyes flashed in desperation; "Tiffany!! Get bac–"
arghhhhhhh!!! she screamed out a battle cry- that sounded like a mournful wail.
Despite her usual cowardice, Tiffany\'s pumping legs shot her forward- leaping up from the flat, gray, ground. Through her blood red vision, she isolated Dracula\'s outline, hurtling at him through the curtain of darkness.
The crescent moon lit up her white dress, and red face flushed face. Mid air, lips pouting, she stretched out her swinging arms- increasing her wingspan!
Simultaneously, Dracula\'s cloak ruffled once more, and the black horn curled upwards- to his lips. Nexus once again felt a massive pitfall in his gut. Once again, with a resounding blare, like the wail of death itself, the terrifying alarm rippled through the curtain of darkness;
Vrooohhmmm!!!
In an instant, every single zombie werewolf jerked their massive heads up- responding to the summons. Their scrags of bloodstained fur, and soulless black eyes glistened under the moonlight, as their dead brains deciphered the invisible notes.
Slowly, as the intensity of the horn\'s blare began to diminish, the crunching noises of ther snapping necks echoed across the courtyard- in cohesion- like a cracking symphony.
shit!!
Nexus swore- shredding the air with his swinging elbows.
The big vein on his forehead screamed as his brain cackled with lightning! Battle awareness kicked in with raging adrenaline- and his vision enhanced;
\'Damn it,\' he thought; \'There\'s too many of them!!\' the hairs on his skin stood at attention; ". . .battle is not an option. I need to knock her the fuck out. There\'s no way she can reach Drac in time. . ."
But Tiffany was already descending- clenching her fists, ready to deliver a lightning strike to her enem– owwww!! she yelped suddenly- as her body violently twisted mid air- twirling from her right thigh.
Nexus\' eyes squinted. Did she fall?
No. Something happened.
Heart beating wildly, he craned his neck forward- and his eyes widened!
A werewolf?! His eyes cried in unbelief- cursing the darkness! \'Shit! she\'s been bitten!\'
Howling in pain, Tiffany came crashing down to the earth with a violent thud- pulled down by the nasty gash of the beast\'s teeth in her right thigh. By her side, a gritty growl escaped its throat- and it sank its nasty bloodstained teeth deeper into her flesh.
Dracula\'s face- unmoved, watched with a quiet expression.
Immediately, an infestation of black shadows spilled across the courtyard. Dead leaves crunched under their footsteps. The sweeping southern wind carried their stench- washing it across the compound.
From the formation of muscled necks, deep growls erupted from the beasts\' throats. Blood dripped from their jagged claws as they slowly waddled towards the screaming girl- surrounding her with menacing scowls.
\'There\'s too many of them. . .\'
Nexus\' mouth dipped- clenching his swinging fists in frustration.
\'Can I fight them off?\' he wondered.
His mouth quivered, slowly curving into a low snarl as the joints on his knees cracked. He was getting weary from all that sudden sprinting. He snapped his head towards the sky, glancing with irritation at the gibbous moon above.
\'Really?!!\' he groaned; \'You chose now of all times to take a vacation?!\'
The silver arch of the moon had disappeared behind some stray clouds- temporarily taking visibility off the board.
And yet, somehow, Dracula still shone in the darkness.
His tall towering figure, perched up on the cloud of swirling smoke, straddled in \'Harry-Potter-like\' robes, stood in the middle of the courtyard.
His neck was arched low, glancing halfheartedly at the girl close to his feet. Thwack!! The sleeves of her white gown came loose- snatched by a set of violent claws! Nexus\' heart exploded. Abby just stared- wide eyes open- barely breathing.
"Damn in Drac!!!" Nexus roared; "You gonna kill the child too?! Right in front of Abby?!! You wanna scar her for life?!"
