thought!" Robert proclaimed as five of his giant slayers chanted his name.

Lillith and Christian looked at each other. They had to come up with something, or they were going to be killed.

Danielle, now alone, walked as silently as she could, hoping to find the castle. The darkness of the fog was creepy enough, but it was made worse as a tingle ran down her spine when a voice startled her, causing her to whirl around.

“Lost, girl?” the creature asked. A tall, muscular black giant of a vampire stepped out of the fog.

“No, I'm not lost, not at all,” Danielle responded, making her voice steady and clear to try to put fear into the monster that stood in front of her. The vampire walked closer to her, and she threw a beam of pure light at him. He darted out of the way of it and grabbed her arm.

“Unhand me, beast!” she screamed at the top of her lungs just as the sky filled with fire.

The vampire looked up and commented, “Those phoenixes are at it again. Now, as for you... I’ve watched you from afar and mean you no harm. I am actually quite smitten with you.”

Danielle was not expecting that, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw a kindness. She quickly turned away, and said, “I am not to be with any man, or I shall lose my powers. That has always been my way, my oath.”

“But what if you were to give yourself to someone who would cherish you? I have lived a long time, and I have been dreaming of you for so long. You must accept my proposal.”

“You don't even know my name, sir,” she answered as he came closer to her face. She reached up to slap him, but his hand caught hers and kindly kissed it.

“Of course, I know your name. I have dreamed of you for many years, Danielle. You were meant to be with me.”

“Please don't do this to me,” Danielle sobbed. “I have a mission that I must complete. You bloodsuckers must be stopped!”

“I won't force you to love me. I won't force you to even talk to me. I just had to meet you, to know that my mind wasn't tricking me, that you are, indeed, real.” He smiled then turned his back to her and began walking away.

“Sir, please wait, will you lead me to the castle?”

“Yes, of course I can,” he agreed with a boyish grin. “Oh, and before you ask, my name is Michael.”

She blushed as she giggled a bit before thanking him.

Chapter Thirteen

The battle raged on with neither side giving in. Lillith and Christian attacked with speed and precision against pure brute strength and skill.

Christian was wearing down when he whispered, “I have an idea.” He threw his sword at Robert, who blocked it easily, but that left him open for Christian to kick him directly in his groin.

Robert went to a knee, and Mackinzie and the others cheered. Christian then grabbed Roberts beard and began punching him again and again in the face as Lillith ran in and kicked him hard in the chest. Both of them began stomping on Robert, who was covering up his face until he grabbed Lillith’s leg and flung her into Christian, who fell. Robert slowly got back to his feet and wiped the trickle of blood that had run down his face.

“Fighting dirty, are we?” Robert said with a laugh. “Okay, no more holding back.” He grabbed the top of his armor and removed it, revealing his bare hairy chest and six pack abs.

“I thought he was fat!” Lillith said in shock.

“Fooled you, eh? As my armor has done to many of the fallen who have faced me.” He threw down his sword and with his finger, called them over.

Christian laid down his sword as did Lillith.

“You want hand to hand combat? I will give it to you,” Lillith threatened as she removed her coat, and they began circling.

Alisha yelled to Lillith, “Aim for his weak spots! He has to have a weakness. Find it and exploit it!”

Robert screamed back at her, “I'm going to eat you when this is over. I'm going to drain you dry then make you mine for all eternity.”

"Eww!" Alisha shivered.

Lillith attacked again, this time using her speed and attacking Robert’s legs and ribs. Robert then countered her attack with a punch to the gut. This time, Lillith was forced to take a knee, and he struck her in the face.

Christian rushed in to save her from more punishment, but he was grabbed by his hair and his face was slammed hard into the ground. Lillith grabbed Robert’s beard and jumped over his back, pulling chunks of his beard clear from his now reddened face. Fresh blood began streaming from the opened pores and fresh wounds. Lillith licked the blood from her hands, awakening her true vampiric state, and Christian’s instincts also became heightened at the smell of blood. Robert could do little more than scream in pain, holding his face with both hands.

Christian jumped around Robert, his legs tight around the other man’s waist as attempted to bite Robert's neck! Robert put both hands on Christian’s face, attempting to stop the attack when Lillith struck from behind, sinking her teeth into his neck. He yelled out in pain, trying to pull her off with one hand, which freed Christian to bite into his neck as well.

“Get off of me!” Robert yelled in agony as their grips became even stronger.

As they both fed on Robert, he slumped to the ground, going into shock from the blood loss. Finally, the barely conscious Robert went completely limp.

“Finish it, destroy him!” Alisha yelled.

Lillith retrieved her sword as Christian rolled Robert from his stomach to his back.

“It's over!” she said, slamming her sword into his neck, causing his head to fly through the air before landing in the upright position. His body slowly began sizzling as he burst into flames.
