Children of Fey and Night: Chapter Seven

The Legion of Thieves 

Children of Fey and Night



Maximilian Martell 

Dawn and Lissa dashed out of the bar like bats out Hades. They were followed closely by a teenager with dark brown hair and a close-cropped beard. He had large scar on his face and blood soaked the front of his shirt. I could hear a loud comotion behind them and it seemed to be getting louder. They ran past me and I sprinted to catch up.

Dawn made a quick introduction telling me the guys name was Trey and that he had information about Princess Alyssa. Before I could ask any questions I heard some behind us shout: "Don't let him get away!"I turned and saw vampires pouring out of Suckerstone Bar. I ran faster and managed to pull out my phone, speed dialing Xaro.

"Hello?" He asked.

"Open a potral we got Vampires on tails!" I shouted into my phone.

"Ow alright, alright where are you guys?"

"Coming up on the corner of Chestnut and South 34th street! We're coming in hot!" I replied ending the call and shoving my phone in my pocket. Ahead of us a swirling portal of darkness opened up in the middle of the street. Dawn grabbed Trey by the arm and dragged him through the portal I was about to jump through when I heard Lissa scream. I looked back and saw two vampires holding Lissa by the arms.

"Let. Her. Go!" I shouted unleashed beams of light from my hands. The beams blasted them in the face and they let go of Lissa, clutching their faces before running off. Lissa scrambled to her feet and ran to me. I pulled out my spear as more and more vampires began to surround us. I swirled my spear and began shooting any vampires that got too close to Lissa or me.

Lissa managed to reach me but by that time we were completely surrounded. We stood back-to-back, Lissa had her stake poised to strike and my hand glowed with golden light. The portal was only a few meters away but a wall of blood suckers stood in our way. Several cautiously approached the portal, wondering where it lead to. If they went through the Legion would be over run.

I knew Xaro would hold the portal open until we came through but if ten, twenty, thirty vampires came with us... we could all wind up dead. I raised my hand and a formed white ball of light, brighter than the sun. The Vampires screamed, their skin started to blister and burn. They ran, allowing Lissa and I to jump through the portal. After a few seconds of twisting stomachs and cold shovers we arrived at the Legion's front door. Xaro lowered his hands and the portal disappered.

"Thanks Xaro." Lissa said taking a shaky breath. Xaro helped her inside then turned to me.

"What happend back there?" He asked.
