couldn’t get on the vampire’s territory either.
That’s where Connor met Marcus and they began their friendship. When Danton, the leader of the Reigns who was then dead wanted to take charge of all the vampires and the mortals, the vampires split into two groups where there was the Reigns and the Anti-reigns. The Araneas had vowed to defend their kind and now with Marcus there, they’d joined arms to fight the Reigns.
Thomas helped the kids and mothers get into the tunnel and everyone ran hurriedly trying to take whatever they could. Marcus had instructed Nessa and Trina to get in the tunnel with Thomas and the rest as soon as everybody was in.
Conner spoke to his trained Araneas and gave instructions. They were built and trained for battle. Most women drooled over them as they trained and although it was such a sight, it was time to put their training into action.
Ariel helped Nessa and Thomas to get the kids into the tunnel and as she did, she looked across the compound and saw Trina and Jack.
“Please be safe babe, I don’t know what I’d do without you” Trina said as she caressed Jacks face with the back of her hands.
“I’ll be careful honey, I promise”
Ariel felt a twinge of envy creep inside her. She’d never seen Jack like that, she knew he was in love. Although they’d never been more than friends, she didn’t understand why she felt as she did.
In a split second, her thoughts were distracted by movement she heard from the forest, they were many footsteps and they were closing in on them.
“They are here!!!!!” she yelled and Connor looked at her direction to see if the tunnels’ door was closed.
He sprang in the air and rushed toward the gate to help carry some boys who were walking into the tunnel.
Nessa had gone to get a little girl who sat on the ground playing with her doll, and as she picked her up a Reign jumped from the woods on top of her.
“Nessa!!!!!” Ariel screamed as she jumped in the air on top on the vampire and sliced his throat with her fangs.
Nessa rose up and ran with her extraordinary speed to the tunnel. Thomas had already gone inside the tunnel but when he saw the vampire attack her, he ran out to try and help her but Connor held him back.
The Aranea army turned into spiders and formed a circle in readiness for attack. Nessa took the little girl inside the tunnel and when she called out for Thomas, she didn’t hear him. Looking out of the tunnel, she saw Thomas on the ground and a Reign on top of him.
“Thomas!!!!!” she screamed as she went out of the tunnel before Connor pushed it shut.
Before she could get to Thomas, Trina jumped on top of the vampire and ripped his head off. Nessa rushed to his side and pulled him up. The Reigns jumped out of the trees in twos and there must have been more than sixty of them.
Nessa’s fangs came out and her eyes were a bloody red. She held Thomas behind her and fought any Reign that jumped on them. Connor and Jack turned into huge spiders and joined the rest of the soldiers.
“Thomas, get in the center of the circle formed by the Araneas quickly” Marcus ordered, his eyes a burning red and his fangs out.
Nessa looked over her shoulders to Thomas and nodded.
“Run honey” she shouted.
Thomas ran between the spiders huge legs and stood in the middle of the circle they’d formed.
Trina went to Nessa’s side and together they stood in a defense position. When a Reign jumped on them, Trina held them down as Nessa ripped their heads off, turning them to dust. Marcus jumped in the air and formed a wave ball between his hands throwing it at the Reigns, pushing them back and crushing into the trees.
The more Reigns they fought, the more they sprung up. The soldiers spat liquid silver at the Reigns turning them to dust, and just when they thought they were winning, a huge net fell on them, covering all of them and turning
