and pointed to the vampire that was coming at them from the ground.
“Bloody hell!” Chase cried out and pushed Ally back into James’ arms. He summoned a fireball in his hand effortlessly and threw it at the creature before jumping down onto the ground and aiming three more at his heart. Chase scored a direct hit and the creature screamed in rage.
Ally grabbed onto James for dear life and watched intently as Chase fought the vampire. The hairs on the back of her neck stood even straighter and the sick feeling in her stomach began to radiate throughout her whole body. A scratching and hissing sound came from behind them and James was the first to see what was coming for them….
Two vampires stood before them, grinning wickedly.
“James…” Ally pleaded softly. The terror running through her rendering her almost immobile.
“Ally,” James commanded. “Stay calm and do exactly what I say, and we should live through this.”
“Ok,” she whimpered.
James pushed Ally behind him and summoned a fireball in his hand and aimed at the vampires. They ducked and rolled closer to them.
“Is that the best you’ve got,” the female hissed.
“Chase,” James called out and summoned two more fireballs. “Could use a hand here!”
“Got a few problems of my own,” Chase called back.
“Brilliant…”
The large, flat concrete roof became the size a floor rug in Ally’s mind. The vampires were too close. Her limbs grew heavy and the fear held her rooted to the spot.
James continued shooting fireballs while the vampires dodged laughing. “I can’t beat them like this,” he hissed. “But I can’t physically fight them!”
“Why not?” Ally asked in a high pitched voice.
“Because that puts you in danger. As soon as I move away from you, one of them will attack.”
“And if you don’t James, then we’ll both die!” She cried. “So do it!”
He turned his head for one second. It was the fatal mistake the evil creatures were waiting for.
The vampires lunged at James, knocking him off balance. Then they each grabbed an arm and dragged him away. He kicked and shouted and fought like hell to get away from them, but their hold was a like an unbreakable vice.
“James!” Ally screamed. She no longer feared for her own life, but that of her mate. Something clicked inside her that moment. Her eyes changed from that of fear to rage. Her body coiled ready to spring in attack and her mind sharply focussed on one goal. Gone was Ally, and in her place was The Prophecy Girl.
The right motivation was all she had needed to shake off the fear. Her mind connected with the vampires. The sick twisted hate in their minds made her want to shy away but her determination carried her through. She could see what they planned to do with James…and then to her.
“Go to hell!” she screamed at them and summoned two fireballs of her own behind her back, waiting for the exact right moment to use them.
They let out a shrill laugh at her anger. One of them let go of James and began stalking towards her with deadly intent.
“Run, Ally!” James screamed desperately.
She ignored him. She would not be running tonight, or ever again.
“Come and get me,” she taunted to the female vampire advancing on her.
“It’s hardly worth the effort, but you smell tasty enough,” it said with a wicked grin.
“I dunno about that,” Ally said. “You get the opportunity to kill someone that even Vincent hasn’t been able to yet.”
“You?” the vampire scoffed. “Vincent could kill you before you even blinked.”
“Nope. He’s already tried and failed,” Ally boasted.
The creature’s eyes narrowed. “Who are you?”
Ally smiled innocently. “The Prophecy Girl.”
The vampire’s mouth fell open, and its eyes widened. Ally used the split second to her advantage and threw the two fireballs straight at her heart. They hit her before she could move.
The screaming vampire went up in flames and Ally ran towards her and
