TRUEBLOOD (TORN BETWEEN TWO)

AMBUSH(I)

"Bro?" Yao called.

"Yeah,I see this." Dwayne replied.

"Its an ambush." He said and backed close to Dwayne.

"So? This is what it's going to be?" Dwayne questioned,fists clenched tightly.

"Let's be honest Dragon's Soul. You're a weakling. You try to act like you're the bravest and strongest person ever but in reality,you're much more scared than everyone here." The leading minion said.

That statement got Dwayne. He was being true.

He was here acting tough but deep inside him,he was scared,scared of coming under Draco's control,scared of losing his new family like he lost his last.

Till present,he still yearned for Cole and Shirley but he tried his best substituting them with Yu Yuan and Jim.

Now,there was a probability of him becoming an evil son of a b***h that would destroy this new family.

"Bro,don't let him get into you. He is just a minion" Yao said,placing and arm on his shoulder...a sign of encouragement.

"Thanks but you can't understand man. Let's just deal with this" he replied and faced the Multitude ahead of them.

The minion faced his fellow minions who were eager to get into action.

"Warriors of Draco,attack" he instructed and they rushed forth,chanting inaudibly.

Dwayne transformed into his Dragon form and without warning,blasted the incoming horde of minions with a huge wave of water. He spun,using his tail to swipe them away.

Yao had already transformed and was battling it out with the minions. One of them launched an aerial assault,blasting the unsuspecting Yao with flames,sending him crashing. Yao got up but was quickly blasted by the minions.

With great effort,he managed to fly,escaping the vigorous attacks of the minions.

Now in the air,he shot icicles at them,causing an instant flow of frost,blood and death amongst the minions.

Dwayne on his own hand had already defeated all of the minions attacking him. The only left was the leading minion who stood,awaiting his Dwayne's attack.

Dwayne made to hit him,then he stopped. The minions were easy to defeat. Ambushing him wasn't their original plan,their original plan was to probably mess with his head under Dr Sue's disguise and let him go.

But now they had ambushed him,though they were nothing compared to him. It was then he realized it,they were stalling him but from what?

He suddenly grabbed their leader by the neck and slammed him on the floor,causing a huge c***k.

"Tell me. Why are you stalling me?" He asked furiously. The minion chuckled slightly,enraging Dwayne.

"Talk you son of a b***h" Dwayne cursed.

Still,the minion continued laughing,not feeling intimidated. Rather,he felt high,here he was,holding valuable information the revered Dragon's Soul was indirectly begging for.

"I'll kill you" Dwayne threatened,his eyes growing with rage.

"I dare you" the minion dared,cackling.

Dwayne found himself in a precarious situation,he couldn't kill the minion because of the valuable information he had. But he couldn't get it from him and that really hurt. His rage increased and he was intent on killing the him but he stopped and released his grip on his neck.

"You may leave" he said and transformed into his normal self again. Yao,already normal,walked towards him,asking him why he left the minion.

"His main objective is to distract us from stopping this infection. That's the only valuable information that I can get." He replied and looked back.

The minion,shocked by what he saw,disappeared.

"Okay that is shocking" Yao told Dwayne as they walked towards the car.

Abel stood before James,surprised to see him.

"James?" He called,recollecting the latter's name.

"Yes your highness" James replied reluctantly.

This annoyed Abel a lot,he was sick of the accolades. He wasn't one arrogant Prince who loved to be praised. Yes,there should be the respect but all of that was too much to handle.

"Don't call me your highness,majesty,honour or any s**t like that. I'm Abel,just call me Abel" he clarified. James eyed him,puzzled with his outburst.

"Okay Abel" James confirmed simply.

"So how are we going to go about it?" He asked Abel.

"I don't know. You probably have experience about this bodyguard s**t. The only thing I know is I hate it when my privacy is intruded" Abel replied firmly.

"Okay. So,I'll be heading to my bedroom,its nighttime" James said and walked outside the room.

"You're going to the club?" Abel questioned,raising an eyebrow.

"Noooo..Okay you've got me,but don't tell anyone" the latter admitted.

"No probs man,your secret is safe with me." The former assured and tucked himself into bed. Just as James was about to leave,a question struck Abel. One he felt he should ask.

"Hey James. I heard you're under General Michael's battalion. I just want to ask a question" he requested.

James stopped and turned around.

"Yeah,what's the question?"

"I just wanted to know if the General has some secrets. Not the ones he told you,just the ones you happen to stumble upon" he requested. James stared at him,puzzled with his request. Abel was surely one odd kid.

"Why are you asking? You seem to be suspicious of the General" he inquired.

"I'm just doing my research. I need to know those I trust and those I don't" Abel replied bluntly.

"And am I among those in your good graces?" James inquired.

"Yes...if you are loyal. So,about the question" Abel replied,sending chills to James's spine.

Abel was surely mysterious, making statements that intimidated him.

"I don't have much to say. All I know is that the General has his inner Demons." He replied and walked out of the door.

"One last thing" he said,glancing into the room.

"Goodnight" he said and left.

"Goodnight" Abel wished after him,staring at the void left after James's presence.

He began to realize why James was being suspected. The way he spoke and reacted showed there was something up with him. Also,the fact that he was always serving as a bartender in the club amused him.

He had a reason to always live his night by the bar. He just wondered what the reason was.

He yawned,already dizzy. He already had a long day and wasn't going to let another mystery keep him awake after the events of the day.

Already taking into slumber,he promised himself he was going to start his investigation the next day and he hoped things didn't go wrong.

Then the thoughts of Ella came into his mind. "She's a knockout" he mumbled and fully fell asleep.

"I know a Doctor but he and I aren't really on good terms" Dwayne said.

Then,the whole crew was present and Stan and Yu Yuan were already awake. Dwayne and Yao had explained to all of them what had happened to them.

"Who's the Doctor?" Jim inquired.

"He's an Alpha Wolf. My father's Alpha" he replied.

"Wait,your father is a werewolf?" Lee questioned.

"Yeah,he is or let me say was" Dwayne replied,saddened by the memories of his family. How he had lost Shirley and Cole in just a little space of time.

"What happened to him?" Lee inquired. The latter looked blankly at the floor and brought out his phone.

"He disappeared" he replied. He dialed Abel's number,knowing he was the right person to call.

For some seconds,the phone rang and just when they thought there wouldn't be a receiver,the call was received.

"Dwayne. What's up?" Sharon's voice emerged from the phone.

"Umm hey Sharon. I just wanted to speak to Abel,can you put the call through to him." He asked.

"The thing is. Abel's been taken away,to his birth place. It'll take a long time before he returns" she replied. That reply silenced Dwayne. He began to wonder how that was possible but then,it struck him...Abel could be having his own issues.

"Okay then Sharon. I need your help" he said.

"What help would that be?" She asked.

"Well I wanted to speak to your Dad. I've got something in my head and I need a supernatural doctor to help with the surgery" he explained.

"Well he's here and has heard all what you said. He wants to speak with you personally" she said after a moment of silence.

"Okay"

"So Dwayne,I heard all you said. Can't you find another Doctor over there?" Alfred inquired from the other end of the line. Dwayne paused before replying.

"The only one we know here is dead" he replied. He waited for a moment,expecting a reply from Alfred but the latter seemed to have just gone off.

"Okay I'll help you but I can't come to China cos it's far and attractive. I could leave all my responsibilities behind. So here is what we're going to do. I've got a hospital in Mexico that treats stuff you're infected with. Don't go there via any mode of transportation,fly over there.

We'll meet at the border. You and I have a lot to talk about" Alfred instructed. Dwayne was surprised,this was the nicest the Alpha had ever been to him.

"Okay,I'll do as instructed but when should I get there?" He inquired.

"Tomorrow"

The conversation ended and Dwayne slipped his phone into his pocket.

"Something tells me you're scared of him." Stan said.

"Yeah,he's always been harsh to me since I was a kid,the harshness turned into fear for me. I felt I never impressed him up till now,but I hope tomorrow's meeting makes him proud of me" Dwayne explained.

Suddenly a call came through to Lee's phone. He answered it in Chinese and gasped.

"Some green creatures attacking the safe house." He explained after hanging up.

"Oh s**t! Those minions" Dwayne exclaimed.

"Let's go" he said but was pulled back by Yu Yuan.

"What?" He asked.

"You've got your own journey,we'll handle this one" she told him. He nodded his head in confirmation,watching as they all left except for Zhang Chi who was in the inner chamber,meditating.

"I guess it's time" he said and left for his house.

.

.

.

"So Dad. Are you leaving now?" Sharon asked as Alfred hung up.

"Yes honey. He's the Dragon's Soul. He's got a responsibility and he needs my help" he replied.

"To be honest darling. You've been really mean to the kid all these years. Do you think he's going to be comfortable being with you?" Christine asked,raising her head from her husband's laps.

"Don't worry,I'll be the nicest I can be. Moreover,he'll try to show me he's a man now" he replied and got up,walking up the stairs.

"Are you leaving now Dad?" Sharon asked.

"Yes honey,I've got to put a call through to Mexico" he replied,already halfway the stairs.

"But what about our previous discussion?" She inquired.

"I've told you honey. Just be careful. Doom won't do you no harm if you don't attack him. I'll just advise you to stay at home." He said and disappeared behind the top of the stairs.

In the same dark realm Draco resided was Draco with his son...Eerling,having a short battle.

Draco being the father had the upper hand,pinning Eerling consecutively.

Eerling,struggling,managed to turn his father around and drove his tail to his father's side,causing the latter to free his grip on him.

Eerling shot up and ran into his father,sending him crashing on the floor. Before Draco could respawn,a hit from Eerling's tail stunned him and Eerling made a final hit,wrapping his tail around Draco and smashing him on the floor.

Defeated,Draco rose and patted his son's back.

"That was a good one. I'm proud of you" he said to Eerling who leapt in excitement.

"Thanks Dad but u have a feeling you didn't give me your all" he replied and left for the swamp located a few miles from there.

Draco watched him leave,admiring the innocence in the boy. Though he was evil,there was still that childish love and innocence in him.

"Draco,there is trouble" A voice emanated from a distance. Instantly,Draco recognized that voice and rose.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Alfred and Dwayne are meeting in Mexico to treat the latter's infection. You have to send your men to ambush them there" Doom instructed.

Draco groaned in anger,pissed off with the fact that Dwayne was foiling his plan.

"My men are keeping them busy in China. The few I have left are useless." He replied.

Doom had a mischievous smile on his face,grinning from ear to ear.

"Just send them there. I've got a surprise for them too" he said and disappeared,leaving Draco to rally his minions.

To be continued......

Guys I'm telling you,Doom has some tricks up his sleeve. We'll find out what he has in store for Dwayne and Alfred.

As for Abel,I love the nice job he's doing but he's being too lazy. Who knows if James is actually a traitor?
