Chapter 11 Damian, part 1
shback
We made our way to the middle of the desert riding in our convoys.
Caleb drove, while I sat shotgun. Miranda is in the back of my seat.
Jazzy knew I hated sitting with James, so she rode with him in the other convoy, along with other
of our group members.
Caleb jolted the car to a stop. I looked around, I couldn''t smell anything unfamiliar. Just....
humans.
Why are we here? There''s no sign of any threat or any dangerous creatures....why are we here?
I got off the convoy, going around to grab my gun and get in position. James came over, showing
us the map to the n Colonel Coelhelm had discussed with him.
"Alright, everyone around. Now, there''s no time to waste." He sneered at everyone.
I rolled my eyes as I tightened the harness around my upper body to hold my two extra handguns
and flipped the strap to my katana to hold it in ce on my back.
As I grasped my katana, James tried to snatch it away to get my attention. He cut his hand,
making a hissing noise as it burned him from the slice it made on his palm.
"Fuck... Selene... why the fuck are you carrying that shit unsecured? You''ll get someone fuckin
killed." He yelled.
"First off, that''s the fucking point, isn''t it? Second, don''t ever touch my baby. Third, why the fuck
are you getting in my case? I''m not your fucking beta, I''m in charge here too. So back the fuck off." I
yelled back.
He clenched his jaw, his eyes going dark. I was not gonna back down if he wanted a fight. He
came up to my face, I could feel his breath on my cheek.
"You''re lucky we''re in a tight schedule... this isn''t over." He whispered.
I pushed him on his chest. Making him take a step back, he grabbed my arm as I pushed him. He
held on tight, gripping me with force, pulling me towards him. One hand gripped my arm, and his other
around my waist.
"Watch it, Selene... You''re lucky you''re beautiful, otherwise,...I wouldn''t hesitate to take you down."
He sneered in my ear. He stood at my neck for a second. Smirked at me while he pulled away.
"Shit, did I not hide my mark properly? Damn it, Selene!!! If he finds out I have a mate, it could be
bad news for my mate.... whoever he is. The least I want is to get him killed before I even meet him."
"And you''re lucky Colonel Coelhelm hasn''t asked me to kill you. Otherwise, I would have already
ripped your fucking head off." She snapped back.
He smiled at her. Turned around without another word and walked away.
The whole group gathered around. James gave instructions. As usual, the group was to run quietly
towards their target and wait for further instructions.
Jazzy, Caleb, Miranda, and Selene were the snippers. They''d stay back and wait until told to take
down their targets before the others attacked.
James would be attacking upfront with the first battalion group, if needed the snippers would run to
join the second group to attack.
"Ok, everyone get ready to go into position." They broke into their groups, and they all sped off.
They sprinted at first, then shifted to wolf form to get there faster and undetected since their steps
were quieter when they were in wolf form.
Jazzy, Miranda, Caleb, and Selene came up to a set of boulders about ten miles away from their
targeted area. They each set up their snippers and got into position, waiting for further instructions.
They must have been there for a good five minutes before they were contacted by colonel
Coelhelm and James.
"Alright James, Selene... the stage is all yours. James, take it from here." Colonel Coelhelm said.
"Roger that," James says
"Ok, alpha 1 in position."
"Alpha 2 in position."
"Beta 1 in position. "
"Beta 2 in position. "
Each one of the leaders gave their status. Awaiting for James to give hismand.
Selene cut her mick off, something didn''t seem right. "Jazzy, something isn''t right. I don''t get the
scent of any creature. I don''t scent any rogues or vamps, all I get is human blood... something''s not
right here. Why are we here to ambush a human vige?"
Jazzy looked at her, as did Caleb, and Miranda. "I know, I was asking myself the same thing,"
Miranda answered.
"Guys, focus... if Colonel Coelhelm says this is the ce we have to ambush, then that''s what we
gotta do. No questions asked, remember?" Caleb answered.
"Ok, yeah.... but that''s because before, I could smell the scent of a rogue or a vampire. But now....
something isn''t right... this could easily be a trap... we gotta stay alert."
"Ok, but you know we are not allowed to go up there unless they call us over. If we go against
James word we could get in so much troub-"
"May I remind you that Selene is an alpha in this group too. Not just James. If she says we gotta
fucking move over there and save their ass then that''s what we fucking do." Jazzy yelled.
"Enough!" Selene yells.
"If we get called, or we see the necessity to go, then we will move. Until then, we stay in our
position. Is that understood?"
"Yes, Alpha!" They say in unison.
They stayed in position, Selene looked through her scope, she could see them nearing bit by bit to
the vige.
Everyone walked about as normal. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But yet,..... something told
her, there was gonna be a big blood bath, and innocent people were going to die.
James stopped by the first building. She could see he wasmunicating through his earpiece
with someone. She tapped on her keypad on her sleeve to try and tries to find their line and be able to
hear, she somehow was able to hack onto his conversation, muting her voice to avoid being caught in
their new invader.
"Ok, in position. Waiting on yourmand. " she hears the voice of James.
Then she here''s a voice that is unfamiliar to her. A husky man''s voice, a bit of a British, maybe a
Londoner''s ent on. The other side of the line.
"Exterminate them. I want no one alive. Do you hear me? No one is to be left alive. We can not
take any chances. Every man, every woman, every child. I want them all dead." The husky voice says.
"Yes sir," James replies, gesturing them to continue with their mission.
One by one, the team ambushed into the middle of the vige. And for the first time since her first
mission, Selene looks away. Tears running down her eyes. She knows something is awfully wrong. The
people in the vige are running frantically.
No one seems to be shifting. She realizes they are all normal humans. They run from one ce to
the other, scared, vulnerable. Kids grasping on to their mothers, fathers blocking their way from harm to
protect their wives and young ones.
"James, what the fuck is going on? Why is no one shifting? We were ordered toe here and kill
creatures, not humans." Selene yells on her piece trying to make sense out of the situation.
"Not now Selene. I''m busy. Your job is to make sure you take out anyone that may be ambushing
us remember? So do your job and protect the fucking team. Stop distracting me." He yells on his piece.
She angers, her eyes bing dark, and her grip on her gun tighten. She pulls the trigger, a stray
bullet passing just inches by James. He looks towards the direction the bullet came from, growling
aloud.
He knows he just pissed her off. She''s demanding answers, and he knows he can not give them to
her now.
"Alright... that''s enough Selene. You wanna fucking kill me? Do it. I''m waiting,... take your fucking
shot. But I''m just here doing my job, just like all of us are. Including you." He says, raising his hands
towards his sides, giving her an opportunity to take a shot.
"Fuck you, James... I want answers... and I want them now. Otherwise, I''m taking my team, and
you can deal with this shit on your own. So talk.... now!"
"I don''t know ok... I''m being honest. All I know is, there''s something bad here, and they need all
these people dead before anything bad happens. I''m sorry Selene, but this is our job. Kill, no questions
ask... did you forget?"
"That''s because each assignment has been to protect our own kind, and humans remember? That
was the point of this group.... to protect humans and werewolves... not kill them!"
"Enough Selene...We are over with this discussion. Do your fucking job and protect the team."
"Whatever James.... this is fucking wrong, and you know it."
Selene and James were so engulfed in their argument, they failed to see the creatures merging
from the north direction of the vige.
"Shit, shit, Selene.... we got visitors, twelve o''clock!" Caleb called out.
Selene nced her scope over. She could see a massive group of vampires running at full speed
towards the vige. She could already smell them. The stenge of their blood making her nose flinch.
"Fuck,... James... it looks like a group of vampires is heading your way. Be on the lookout. Twelve
o''clock. " she warned him.
He looked shocked, he warned his group, making them full alert, ready for battle. They had
Exterminated most of the vige by now. Houses and shacks were being set on fire. Farm animals
running about and away from the vige.
She could smell their blood. Realizing they were not regr vampires, but rather primordials.
Harder to kill, if James found himself out there alone, he was going to be in trouble. Only a few things
could kill a primordial vampire.... and none of them knew it...
Except for her.... and Jazzy.
"Shit... Selene?" Jazzy calls to her.
"Yeah?" She looks frantically at her, Jazzy shaking and afraid.
She knows the power these vampires emit. They aren''t just any regr vampires. Their force is by
far superior, their strength the same as three regr old vampires.
"We gotta go down there don''t we?" Jazzy asks. Caleb and Miranda nce at each other.
"You two... fall behind. Jazzy and I will go in. Stay and cover-up... you don''t want to confront these
vampires... they are bad news." Selene tells Caleb.
"No, I want to help... let me go with you, Selene," Caleb asks.
This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
"No, it''s too risky. I need you guys safe. Miranda, please, stay back and cover up. Take your shots
if you need to. " she orders Miranda.
She was the smallest and youngest of the group. For that, Selene always took it upon herself to
protect Miranda the most.
"Ok...." Miranda answers, her eyes wide in shock. She trembled, lips quivered.
Selene took ahold of her hands and looked at her in her eyes.
"Look at me Miranda!... stay hidden. They can smell fear... please, try and stay calm. If they near
you, shoot them in their head." She tells her,
"Caleb? If they get too close... the only way to kill them is with the swords. The white ash they
were made from and the Angel''s blood is the only thing that can kill them. RIP their fucking head off...
or they will reincarnate, do you understand me?"
Caleb and Miranda looked at each other in shock, nodding inprehension to Selene.
"And by all means.... do not look them in the eye, they will use it to hypnotize you and if that
happens, they can manipte your every move. Don''t let them get too close.... their bites are deadly
for you guys. If they bite you... you''ll suffer a very slow and painful death." She tells them.
She clicks her shotgun, grips her sniper handing it to Caleb. "I won''t need this for now... take care
of it for me. Use it if you must." She nces at Jazzy, nodding towards her.
Jazzy sights, lifting her katana and cing it in her harness on her back.
"Alright... let''s go." Both Selene and Jazzy take off running full speed. They vanish into the air in no
time, making Miranda''s hair raise as if she''d been hit by a gush of wind.
The girls make it just in time. This particr war has already imed more than half of their group.
James is struggling, fighting against one of the vampires, and another one running towards him.
Selene runs towards him, she takes her katana out just in time, running in front of the vampire who
is just about tounch towards James.
She swifts her katana across his body, the head falling by her foot, the body falling over by James.
James grins, happy to see hering to help.
But the other vampire seems irritated. He smells her scent and grins evilly...
"Well, well, well." He says, nonchntly.
"What do we have here?... a primordial wolf? I never thought I''d see the day to see one of you
beautiful specimens. I was beginning to bore with all these ordinary werewolves who are no match to
myself." He sneers at Selene.
She holds her head up, gripping her sword tightly. She narrows her eyebrows, her eyes going
dark.
"No hazel... I got this. I will not be intimidated by a fucking leech. " Selene tells her wolf, who is
trying to take over and rip apart the vampire before them.
With a swift of his hand, he pushes James, making him fall and stumble across. Hitting his back on
a paved wall. James growls loud. But Selene stops him.
"No James... this is my battle now." She warns him.
Two more vampires run and engulf around James. Keeping him busy froming to her aid.
"So, now... I see the myth is true... a primordial werewolf can not be swayed so easily. I can''t seem
to be able to read your mind... nor make you fall under my spell... makes my job a whole lot more
exciting. I do love a bit of a challenge. " he says with a big smile.
She admits, if it wasn''t because he was a vampire, and was ready to rip her head off... he was
quite the charmer.
He must be around three thousand years old, if not more. Tall, well built, fair skin, his hair silky,
raven ck, styled perfectly back.
"You''re eyeing me, darling? Do you like what you see? Too bad I''m not into dogs." He says, she
hates when someone refers to them as dogs.
She growls at him. "Take that back." She snaps at him... he chuckles loud, making her be
angrier.
"How about a dance before we battle? You''ll find I''m quite a catch... you may even find yourself
falling for me... maybe I''ll reconsider and take you home with me instead.... what do you say?"
"I rather not..." Selene says.
He chuckles eyeing her from the tip of her feet to the top of her head.
"You really are a beautiful specimen... too bad I gotta kill you. My name is Damian by the way...just
in case you want to know me before you die of course." He says, locking his sight with her.
