are vampires Marcus, I’m sure there are a couple among them with powers to detect any movements near their castle. I’ve also heard of those who can see the future, so they probably know we’re coming” Ariel said.
“Well, I don’t give a damn if they see me coming, all I want is to know that Thomas is alive and well” Nessa said in an angered tone.
“I’ll go with you” Ariel said as she went to Nessa’s side and pat her back.
“Thank you Ariel, you are so kind” Nessa said as she looked at her and flashed a smile.
“I’m coming too” Jack said as he moved forward to Nessa’s side.
“Me too” Trina joined in.
And Marcus joined them.
“All of you have to consider that you are going into the Reigns territory, they have an army of followers and with the look of things, we definitely cannot do this on your own” Connor said as he looked behind him and nodded at his soldiers in signal that they join them.
“Some of us have to stay and keep guard of the camp” Ryan said as he stepped forward from the group and stood at attention in front of Connor.
Ryan had been the team’s captain and he’d always been in charge of the groups’ work-out sessions.
“Ok, choose the members you feel confident to guard the camp and those you feel can join us to go after Thomas” Connor instructed.
“Yes sir” Ryan answered and turned back to pick out the group that would stay, and the one that would accompany him and Connor in rescue of Thomas.
When they were done and ready to head to the Reigns castle Marcus ran ahead in guidance of the group.
Chapter 3
Back at the Reigns castle, Thomas was held in a dark room and though he couldn’t see, he felt his hands and feet tied up with a secure rope. The events of what had happened still fresh in his mind. Although everything had happened so fast, he could remember how he’d been pulled from under the net by one Reign immediately after the net fell on them.
All he’d felt was the wind blowing hard on his face as he hang on the shoulders of the Reign that had captured him. He struggled to free himself to no avail and in no time, he felt like they were flying up in the air, then everything else went dark.
His thoughts were suddenly distracted by the squeaking sound of a door. He struggled so hard to see who came through it to no avail. He felt someone breathe heavily over him and sharp nails stroke his neck.
“Please don’t hurt me” he begged as he struggled to see who was in the room with him.
The breathing and stroking on his neck stopped and moments later he heard a flick of fingers then the lights came on, revealing a huge empty room with ancient paintings on its walls. A vampire stood inches from him and his eyes looked straight at him with burning remorse.
His skin was so pale and his eyebrows thick and shapely cut. His nose was long and pointed with small pink lips. His ears were unusually long and they twitched when he pressed his teeth together to portray contemplation of what to do with him.
“Your friends killed my father are you aware of that” he spoke as he move to Thomas’s face and sniffed his neck like he wanted to bite him.
“I know you were there, I saw you” he continued.
“You’re Caleb?” Thomas asked with a shaken voice.
“So you know about me I see?” Caleb answered with a question as he held Thomas’s cheeks with one hand and squeezed them.
His fangs sprung out and he took his tongue out and licked Thomas’s neck. It was unusually long and when it touched his skin, Thomas felt his skin become hot.
“Your blood is calling out to me” he hissed.
“But I’m not going to spoil the fun. I know your girlfriend is coming to save you, and I want her to watch as I devour myself with your blood before I kill her, just the way she killed my father” he continued as he looked into Thomas’s eyes and his eyes
