Amaranthine Dawn Of the Supernatural

Part 24

The soldiers started shooting as he approach, but despite so many guns firing at him, he keeps walking to them.

The Commander tries to grab him down but is unable to as the Vampire grabs him and almost comes close to taking a bite at his neck but the Commander pulls out a grenade and pushes it down his mouth and breaks himself free, one of the soldiers shoot at the grenade as he breaks free, blasting the Vampire's head to pieces.

The headless body drops down as soldiers tend to the Commander. "I'm alright, maintain watch!" yells Commander as the squad return to their duties. He gets up and takes his g*n, goes over to the Headless body.

"Vampires, if these bastards are in Ceuvest… We better go in." said Commander as he opens his Comms. "Squad B, where are you at?" asked the Commander. "We're not quite sure sir, the GPS says we're close to you but…" said Soldier through Comm. "But what?" asked the Commander.

"We're hungry sir, we are really hungry." said the soldier as tone starts to change slightly. "Who are you?" asked Commander having taken notice it was not his squad all along. "Smart one aren't you? And you blasted that dickhead's head? Didn't like him by the way, was complaining about being hungry." said the unknown person. "Bloodthirsty piece of s**t, listen, I know exactly who you are, I've killed a bunch of you." said Commander.

"Shut up Hunter, we know exactly who you are, like we said we're hungry, but not too hungry, thanks to the food you've sent us, I'll tell you what, I'll leave your men alone if they return back the same way they came men, is it that clear? Commander Hector?" asked the unknown person.

 "You're dead, you hear me? Dead!" yells Commander as the transmission ends. Suddenly soldiers look upon one another in confusion. "Come on men, we're not stopping." said Commander leading the men even further. As they proceed, they hear screams of people in far ahead, which makes the men even more afraid.

"Sir, maybe we should retreat, or call in for reinforcements." said the soldiers. "Shut up, they're afraid, they want us to turn back, don't you get it? Shut up and follow my orders." said Commander as he ventures in. The way paves itself to another stairs, although this looks much ancient than the fort itself.

As they go deep inside, they find themselves in an ancient sanctum, where the books and scrolls are filled. Staring at the discovery, the Commander finds himself astounded.

"This is.. unexpected, a library inside a fort inside a secret entrance? Whatever, I've seen weird before." whispers Commander. "Stop! Go away! Go away!" yells a girl at distance.

The Commander follows the voice, which leads into a cell where a small girl is imprisoned with bodies, and bones filled everywhere.

The Commander points the g*n at the girl as soldiers finds themselves quite unsettling to see Commander pointing g*n at an abused kid. "State your name." said Commander. The girl hisses, but does not reply to him.

"I said state your name kid! Now!" yells Commander. "Hel….lana…." whispers the girl. "Huh? Whatever, how did you get in here? How many of them are there?" asked Commander. "Many….come…only bad men stay…..rest…dead." whispers Helana. "Hmm… Whatever." said Commander who almost pulls the trigger at the girl without a second thinking but is stopped by one of the his men. "What?" asked the Commander.

 "Commander, she's just a kid, maybe we should.." said the soldier before getting interrupted by the Commander. "Should what? You think these things will show us the same mercy, there's a reason even vampires locked her up in the cage, either follow my command, or get out." said Commander. "Sorry Captain, I mean Commander." said as one of the soldiers goes over to help Helana out of the cage, but is shot by the Commander, but only injured him.

Seeing what the Commander did, the morality of the soldiers slowly decreases, but as blood flows down from the wound of the soldier, Helana turns to a raging vampire as he bashes the cage, with her fangs wide open. Seeing this, the soldier becomes terrified of what she actually is and steps away from her. "See that? These are the monsters we're up against, they are already dead, there is no mercy to show them." said the Commander.

"Awaiting orders sir." Replied another soldier. "Shoot everything you see, I want each and every one of you to give out your best, stop complaining, start doing something…" said the Commander.

"Yes sir!" replied the soldiers in chorus. Suddenly, red smoke starts emerging into the room, filling it. "Get out!" yells Commander as he tries to run away from the room but smoke enters his lungs and slowly he drops down.

Just as smoke is filled the room, taking everyone in the room down, the Commander is able to hear footsteps of a figure approaching but he goes unconscious before he could get a glimpse on them.

Meanwhile in DC, Kaityln wakes up in a warm comfortable bed, her wounds are all bandaged up, she gets up and wonders whether it was all a dream, but finds herself strange to end up in someone else's bedroom.

Immediately she gets out of the room and ventures out, but stepping on a trip, making a weird type of alarm go off.

"Oh shit." said Kaityln who walks over, having no idea which way is the exit. She stumbles upon a room which's door is left wide open, but as she goes inside, suddenly she steps on another alarm which makes even more sound than the other one.

"You got to be kidding me." said Kaityln as she hides inside herself in the closet. Just then noises the noises stop and a transmission opens from the speaker in the hall.

"Mrs Kaityln, I know you must be scared, but you came in the wrong way, had you gone out the south side, you might have found the exit, why don't you get out from the closet so that I can help you." said a feminine voice from the speaker.

Hearing it, she steps out of the closet, confused. "Good, now head straight and take a turn, you'll find the stairs, head down there and head east, you'll reach the exit.." said the feminine voice. "Who are you? Where's Griffin?" asked Kaityln.

"That is not relevant, please follow the instructions to get out." replied the feminine voice. "I don't understand, he told me to wait." said Kaityln. "Neither do I? I'm telling you the way to get out of here, why don't you get out?" asked the feminine voice.

 "I need answers, what was Griffin doing there, why did he wear a stupid costume, is he some kind of Vigilante?" asked Kaityln. "I have no idea who is this Griffin, please just.. the lesser you know, the better, just get out of here." replied the feminine voice.

 Suddenly within a Comms, another voice could be heard. "Hey, what's going on? Why are you telling her to leave?" asked a masculine voice within a comm.

"No, I mean, well, she can't know, you get it?" replied the feminine voice. "Just give the seat, Kaityln, you're there?" asked the Masculine voice.

"Yeah, I'm here." said Kaityln. "Follow back into the closet." said the Masculine voice. "No it's a bad idea, do not follow back into the closet." said the feminine voice. "No Mary just." said the Masculine voice. "You comprised my name, you idiot." said Feminine voice. "I am..sorry, okay Kaityln it's me Griffin, follow in to the closet I'll explain everything, now you're happy." said the Masculine voice as Kaityln goes back into the closet in the room.

"No! You just comprised yours too, you're breaking the rules, why would you do that?" asked feminine voice. "Okay I'm in the closet, what now?" asked Kaityln.

"Behind the white shirt, there's a small lever, pull it, and why are you upset because of yours and my identity being revealed to a friend?" adds Griffin as he continues his argument with Mary which could be heard by Kaityln through Comm line being open.

 As she pulls the lever, a hidden entrance on the corner of the closet. She ventures through it and enters in to the secret base of Griffin as both Griffin and Mary continue their argument. The secret base is quite small but filled with various technological equipments, even a specialized motor car is available, from Kaityln's perspective, she becomes to think that she stumbled upon a superhero's cave.

"This is…amazing, who built this?" asked Kaityln, which brings both Griffin and Mary's attention back to her. Griffin goes immediately to assist her and help her relax in a nearby seat.

"I did, he did the lifting part, though I'm not taking credit for everything." said Mary. "You just did." said Griffin who is in his costume but unmasked. "Okay I just did, but I did tell the truth." said Mary. "Who are you?" asked Kaityln.
