Dragons Heart - Chapter 22

Sarah was crouched down, biting into a guy’s neck, with blood all around her mouth. Takeo was stunned, so much so that he stepped on the top of a metal trash can. Sarah, hearing it, jumping into the air and vanished. “Ugh, why do people still use metal trash cans?” Takeo said to himself as walked out into the backyard. “Sarah, come out, I saw what you were doing, so no use hiding”, Takeo said out loud, “Plus, I can smell the blood on you, you didn’t leave”. After a minute, Sarah walked out from where Takeo was. “I was hoping you would listen to me and actually stay inside”, she said sighing, “But, at the same time, I knew you would go out and be nosy”. Takeo turned to her and smirked, “now, you know me, of course I would”. Takeo was giggling but he noticed that she wasn’t. She was very serious-looking. “What did I walk into, Sarah?” he asked. Sarah sighed and replied, “Hell for two weeks for the humans”.

Sarah sat Takeo down and told him about a upcoming war between the Vampires and Werewolves called the Blood-Moon Rebellion. The Werewolves were tired of the way the hierarchy was between them and vampires. Since the vampires were basically treating them like actual dogs, they decided to rebel and basically genocide the vampire. And eat some humans because they’re hungry. She also mentioned that at this time, since 100 years has passed, the King of Vampires Count Dracula is gonna resurrect, on the night of the war. All this is gonna happen at the peak of this Blood moon, October 28 which is a week away. Takeo grew silent, trying to process all of this. Sarah stood up and looked at Takeo. “Hmmm…I don’t wanna bring him into this, but I need help finding and stopping him…hmm”, Sarah thought to herself.

But before either of them could sort out their thoughts, a voice came from by the house. “Well, well guys, today’s our lucky day, we found one of those blood-suckers and some human food”, a werewolf said. In an instant, Takeo and Sarah were surrounded by a pack of werewolves. “Ugh”, Sarah grunted, “Takeo, help me deal with these overgrown dogs”. “Overgrown dogs?!”, one guy said, “yeah, imma rip her head off first”. The werewolf pounced towards Sarah, but in a flash of red, Takeo spin kicked him into the back fence. “Oh, the human’s gonna play hard to get?”, said one girl. She dashed behind Takeo, but he read her movement so easily. Takeo elbowed her in the face, breaking her nose. “Gah, you son of a bitch!!”, she shouted. “Ugh, you’re being a pain in the ass, human”, a big werewolf said. “Let just kill them both already”, the pack leader said. “Get them”, he commanded. Takeo smirked, “Now, who said I was a human?”, he said as eyes changed to his dragon eyes. With a wave of his hand, a flood of fire shot up into the sky. Every one of the werewolves were airborne and consumed by the fire. A second later, six charred, smothering bodies crashed into the ground around Sarah and Takeo. Sarah was stunned by his power. “Takeo…”, she finally said. “Hm?”, Takeo turned to her, his eyes changing back to their red color. “Help me stop his resurrection”, she asked. “Of course, you’re my best friend, I’ll do anything to help you”, Takeo said smiling. Seeing his smile made Sarah blush a little. “Awwwe, I made you blush”, Takeo teased. “S-shut up, I’m not blushing”, she retaliated. “C’mon, it’s cute”, he said. “Don’t call me cute”, she shouted, “ugh, you had to ruin the moment”. They walked down the street, going back and forth.
