TRUEBLOOD (TORN BETWEEN TWO)

HOPE?

"What's this?"

"Oh you don't know? Well,Asta la vista" he said and poured the whole content on him.

Drake screamed in agony as his body burned. He looked miserable and in a minute,he stopped screaming. He was completely burnt. Dean had also done the same to Drex and together with his brother,they left.

A few minutes later,Sharon and Elsa arrived at the scene and they gasped,horrified by what they saw.

"We're too late" Sharon said,breaking into tears. She helped Drex up,shedding uncontrollable tears.

"Drex buddy. Don't give up on me. Get up" she said. Rather,Drex was just cold and limp.

Elsa tried waking Drake but she got the same result.

She sniffed the air and frowned.

"Vervain" she stated. Sharon looked at her,with her tears drooling like the rain of a storm.

"I know. I can't believe the boys would do this. I swear,I'll make DOOM PAY!" She shouted.

"Now the guys are dead" she said,still sobbing.

"Come to think of it" Elsa said.

"If they were dead, they'd flake away but they aren't." She continued.

"That means they are still alive" Sharon completed and with a look of hope,she lifted Drex and left the arena with Elsa who had Drake with her.

The next day,Drake and Drex were lying in Mr Dyche's Lab. Their bodies were already normalizing and the darkness had erased from them. Surrounding them were the Dyches, Elsa and Osborne who had worried looks on their faces.

"Dad. Are you sure they'll be alright?" Sharon asked,resisting to shed tears.

"Yes honey. I'm sure they'll regain consciousness as soon as possible." He assured and glanced at Osborne who on his own hand,was resisting the urge to purge tears. Being an Alpha Vampire,he felt it insulting to break down in tears.

Deep inside him,he felt hurt a lot. He had did his best to raise both boys. He remembered Drake's mother dying in a clan battle. Pained and angered,he fulfilled her dying wish of him raising their only son.

Two years later,Drake's best friend also came under his Guardianship. He remembered Drex's parents dying to save him from an enemy. Not having a chance to appreciate them,he took it upon him to raise Drex as his own son.

Years moving on,both boys grew,making him proud. He always felt proud to say that his sons stood against the Chaos Wolves and were triumphant.

He felt proud to say that they helped the Multibreed realize what he was. He also felt proud to say that his sons stood beside the Multibreed against the Dark Multibreed but now,they were nothing but semi lifeless creatures that were trapped in their subconscious.

Lost in his thoughts,a tear dropped from his eyes and that brought a shocked reactions on the rest's faces. It wasn't expected but they understood.

It wasn't easy losing two sons in a day. Alpha Alfred also felt the pain two years ago.

The differences were that Drake and Drex still had a chance of resurrection while Sean and Dean became one of the most evil creatures to walk the surface of the earth.

"Um...Osborne?" Mr Dyche called, awakening him from his deep world of thoughts.

The latter looked sideways and for a few seconds,he didn't reply. There was a lot more on his mind than to reply a friend. A friend who fathered his sons' murderers.

He made to leave but stopped,and walked towards his unconscious sons.

"How long do you think it would take them to respawn?" He asked,staring deep into Alfred's eyes.

"A month at least. I'm going to try my best to bring them back" the latter replied,looking at the unconscious boys.

"Wow. Just ensure your boys become sane before my boys wake. If they don't,I'll end them myself." He warned and left instantly.

"Poor guy,I feel his pain" Elsa scoffed and left for the living room. As she walked,she felt her life was miserable. She lived a tragic life with her former friends and now,she was living the same tragedy with her new friends.

"I hope things don't end up worse. Dear God,your girl needs help" she said silently and looked out into the sky.

"Dad,they were poisoned with Vervain. How is it possible that they are still alive?" Sharon questioned.

"Drake is the son of an Alpha Vampire while Drex is an energy Vampire." He replied.

Sharon looked puzzled,Drake being a descendant of an Alpha makes him immune to all except Golden Plutonium but Drex's ability which means being able to copy any basic Supernatural's side temporarily,made her confused. What she didn't understand was his immunity response to Vervain.

"I know what you're thinking honey" Christine voiced for the first time since she was there.

"Yes mom. Any answers?" She replied,eager to fill her curiosity.

"His ability is to copy any Supernatural's ability right?"

"Yeah"

"So he must have probably copied the boys' abilities but before he could put them to full use...They poisoned him." She explained.

"That answers one question and leads to another. If he can copy any basic Supernatural's ability? How did he copy the boys' abilities cos they're already Tribrids?" She asked.

Both parents wanted to reply but that suddenly brought a realization upon them. It wasn't possible lest the Chaos wolves being parasite souls were still locked in and were awake,having their own form of control over the boys. They could snap the boys out of Doom's control and take over.

"Oh s**t!" Christine cursed,hitting her head with her right palm.

"The Chaos Wolves are awake" Alfred confirmed.

"No. This isn't happening"

The rise of the sun brought a fresh morning and a good start to another day in the kingdom of Astera.

Like all kingdoms,the Queen(Evelyn), had to attend to royal issues of the court and the Parliament before retiring to her palace.

The kingdom was as lively as expected and the people went on with their daily activities. Even with that,word spread through out the kingdom. Word that the prince snuck out of the palace to a fight club and defeated the most feared fighter.

He defeated Odius who was a former warrior turned fighter. He was feared widely by the people until the prince "ABEL" ended his undefeated streak.

One thing made the people admire the prince.

Though he had his opponent pinned,he didn't kill him. Some argued that it was the Queen's sudden interference. Others said that the Prince could have gone ahead and finished the job but he didn't.

That was a noble act. An act of royalty,an act of honour.

Abel arose from his over comfortable King sized bed. He felt extremely calm and stretched his body. He looked at the alarm clock beside his bed and gasped.

"9 am. I've never woken up this late before!" He exclaimed. He rushed into his bathroom and took a quick shower.

Ten minutes later,he was out with a short towel strapped to his waist. The towel was a short one which covered his waist to a few inches above his knees.

He halted,shocked. Before him was the same lady who had kidn*pped him. He looked astounded. She was looking in a purple,silk dress and she had a tray of dishes with her. She stood,staring at him,amused by his masculinity.

For a teenager,he was built like a man. His abs and biceps bulging like a swollen balloon.

She trailed him from his hair to his chest,waist then legs. Her eyes widened as she saw the bulge in his towel.

He snapped out and saw where her eyes were focused.

"Stupid hard on" he cursed silently. He felt it awkward that she was being seduced without him making an attempt or intention to.

"Um...Hi?" He waved,waking her from her amused state.

"I'm sorry your Majesty. Mother had insisted that I served you breakfast as soon as you wake up" she replied,shivering. She comported herself and placed the tray of breakfast on a stool.

"Where's mom?" He asked,applying some lotion to his skin.

"She went to attend to some parliamentary issues. She'll be back by noon" she replied,shaking as she arranged the breakfast on the tray. Abel wore his boxers and snapped into his closet,putting on a body fitting blue shirt and tight,black Jeans. He took a pair of sneakers and slid them on. He walked out of the closet and met her coating his bread with butter.

She looked beautiful. He wondered why he never knew her name and what type of Supernatural she was.

"Its okay. I handle it from here" he said and sat on his bed. She reluctantly gave up and rose. As she turned around,a piece of her dress which was stuck under the tray pulled after her and the tea spilled,followed by the spoon which almost hit her.

As fast as he could,he snapped,suspending the tea,spoon and cup midair. She looked down and wore a glad look.

From what he saw,she was glad the spoon didn't touch her. It was then he realized she was a Faerie.

"Thank you so much your Majesty" she thanked and went on her knees. He felt embarrassed. This was a girl who kidn*pped him and now,she was serving him. He felt uncomfortable being praised. He was used to being highly revered but this was much more. He had to accept it.

"You're welcome. By the way,you never told me your name" he said and pulled her up.

"My name is Ella" she replied calmly.

"Its a nice name and I'm thinking you're a Faerie,right?"

"Yes"

"That's great. Call me when mom arrives" he instructed.

"Yes your Majesty" she replied and turned to leave.

"One more thing" he called.

"Call me Abel" he said and flashed her a smile.

She turned around and blushed. She couldn't believe the Prince liked her. Eagerly,she left the room,glad.

Dwayne sweated heavily as he avoided another torrent of flames headed in his direction. He looked over at Yu Yuan who was wrestling an infected man down.

For the last ten hours,they had to deal with over 30 infected victims and their latest targets were tough.

They both had an objective which was to catch the infected people,knock them out and take them to a safe place. The plan seemed easy except for the part that they weren't to hurt those people.

The pain inflicted on them in that from was dangerous and when they eventually get treatment,it would be difficult to subside such pain.

He rushed towards the man and leapt in the air. The Man's head followed,blasting the flames after him. He quickly created an ice shield,protecting him from the impact of the flames. It was part of his plan.

As the man stopped burning him,he squinted his eyes and saw Dwayne was no longer there. He looked around but was quickly taken down by an extremely cold rush of air.

Dwayne appeared behind him and smiled. He had just successfully saved another citizen.

"How're you holding up?" He asked Yu Yuan who had managed to pin the man down.

"I need the ice right now" she yelled and instantly,he shot a ball of ice at her. She caught it and crushed it, letting the ice particles land on the man's head,cooling him into unconsciousness.

"That was tough" he said,walking up to her.

"Yeah. We've got 34 down and I think this area is clean" she replied and wiped off the beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Let's get them to the safe place" she said and lifted one of the men.

"Yeah."

Dwayne also grabbed his target and they flew off in the direction of the safe place Stan offered that they kept the infected. It was one of his houses which he,being an ice Dragon,had turned into a cold fortress.

"Hey guys. I'm glad you're here" Stan said and helped them lay the men.

"Yeah,it was one tough day. So how's your progress?" Dwayne asked.

"Well...We've gotten about seventy people here." He replied.

"70?! We've just gotten 34 in the last twenty hours" Dwayne exclaimed.

Stan laughed a bit and pat his shoulder.

"Were ice Dragons. The aura helps" he replied.

"Oh,it's true" Both realized.

"Let's get to pops place. I've gotten a possible connection relating the victims." He said and they all hurriedly left for Zhang Chi's Chambers.

"So what's the connection?" Dwayne asked.

Stan looked blankly at the floor, thinking of why it had to be that way. The connection wasn't one that would intrigue people,rather,it would just dishearten them.

"Well,I checked on the movements of our victims and it turns out all of them have in one way or another,been to this stadium" he said and showed them a picture of a stadium on his phone.

"Stadium? How's it possible?" Jim asked.

"As it turns out,there was a soccer match held there two weeks ago and when I checked the footage,I realized that they were all given this weird snack. The host team announced that one of their cooks had made it and this made the people consume it." He explained.

"Oh...That's just crazy." Yu Yuan stated.

"Two weeks ago? Are you sure that's the only connection?" Dwayne asked.

"Well I did my own research and from what I got,these people had been complaining about fever and fatigue...The doctors assured it was just fatigue and nothing else but it now turns out that those were the early symptoms." Lee chipped in.

"There are probably a lot of people still out there,infected. I'm sure the stadium hosted over twenty thousand people" Yao said.

"No,I don't even think that's the real issue" Zhang Chi said.

"What do you think it is?" Jim inquired.

"You said the people were in a stadium right? That means,the supporters of the away team who would have probably left for their city would have been..."

"INFECTED!!!"

To be continued.................

Oh boy,its just starting. Guys trust me,things are about to get really big.
