vampires is nearby.”
    “That’s a good thing then I guess…I wonder why they are getting stronger all of a sudden?”
    “I don’t know but I’m happy about it.”
    Chase rolled his eyes. “For someone worried who is about giving away our location, you’re doing an awful lot of talking!”
    “Sorry,” Ally said while James shot him a death glare.
    The wind began to whip around them and the air thickened with a vibration that was subtle but intense. She could feel the power and control in the energy and something about it was strangely comforting. Ally was certain it marked the arrival of Caleb. Only one other immortal that she knew vibrated with an energy like that, and it was James.
    Her body tensed in anticipation and nervous excitement. If Caleb was here, they were about to witness not only a warrior in action, but a whole lot of vampires running around.
    “He’s here,” Chase said and pointed into the fog.
    Ally squinted and could just make out a dark shape moving at an incredible speed. “I see him…kind of.”
    They all watched him moving towards one of the abandoned buildings near them with stealth and calculation. He opened the rusty door and slipped inside.
    “How are we supposed to see anything from here?” Ally cried. “We have to get in there.”
    “No!” Chase and James cried in unison.
    “I don’t mean let’s go join the fight, but we need to see him fight.” She looked around at the building Caleb had entered and saw a row of windows on the first floor. “Look over there,” she said. “Windows! We can watch through the window.”
    “Alright,” James said. “Let’s go. Not a sound though, Ally.”
    She nodded in agreement and she climbed onto his back again. They scrambled onto the roof of a building next door and sat on the edge peering into the windows.
    The windows were grimy from age and neglect, but they still had a clear enough view.
    Ally watched the intimidating immortal with shaggy brown hair pull a long sword out of from his side. He held it firmly in front of him ready to attack. Caleb looked this way and that, trying to locate his would be victims until finally he spotted one.
    “Get ready,” Chase whispered in her ear. “You’re about to be blown away.”
    Ally looked back into the warehouse. There were two vampires approaching Caleb from the front and one was creeping up from the back. Her stomach clenched in fear as she watched the evil creatures calculating their moves, and anticipating their next meal. Caleb seemed oblivious to the vampire behind him, and Ally wanted to call out and warn him, but she knew better than that.
    The two in front looked to each other then ran so fast at Caleb her eyes could barely keep up.
    She hadn’t even blinked before two heads rolled across the floor, and she watched on in fascinated horror as the two vampires desperately began to pull their bodies across the dusty floor looking for them.
    Ally shuddered. “I thought they died if you did that?”
    “No, not straight away,” James replied. “But in about five minutes they’ll have bled out and it will all be over.”
    Her eyebrows shot up and her face twisted in horror. “Ew.”
    The vampire that was behind Caleb finally made his move. He shrieked and ran at the immortal, but Caleb threw his sword behind him at the last moment and struck the vampire straight through the heart. He ripped the sword out of his chest and kicked the staggering corpse to one side.
    She heard him call out to the other vampires that remained concealed somewhere in the darkness. “Come out, creatures. It’s time to die for real.”
    She could hear a low hissing sound all around them.
    “Ah, James…”
    “Yeah,” he replied, sounding distracted. She could see Caleb and the fight had his full attention.
    “Why do I hear hissing all around us? Shouldn’t the hissing be inside?”
    James looked at her then and furrowed his brows together. “What hissing?”
    “That hissing!” Ally screamed
