SWNOVELS Chapter 471 471
"Reaves is the reason we're in this situation. He killed Abby's parents in cold blood wihtout a single thought. He might be your father, but he is stupid most times. If Dracula had his way, he would skewer us from limb to limb and kill us the way Reaves killed Abby's parents." Madeline said, she didn't see any need to sugar coat things.
Tiffany gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. Her hands began to shake. She's never heard that side of the story before and it was a hard pill to swallow especially because he father was at the center of it all. Tiffany frowned.contemporary romance
"I didn't know..." She trailed off, not sure what to say. She felt like crying but held herself back. She could not afford to show weakness at this time. Madeleine patted her back gently.
"Don't be hard on yourself. You didn't know". Madeline tried to comfort Tiffany.
Tiffany only nodded. She was so angry that she feared uttering a word. If she did, she might cry or confront her dad who never mentioned any of this to her.
"We parents will do anything to protect our children from the horrors of the world, even if it means lying to them, or killing people." She paused and cleared her throat loudly. "Reaves is planning on taking it on alone and he does not want you any where near the battle. For your sake, he visited the hunters and asked them to protect you."
But Tiffany was not listening. Her mind kept wandering and in her head she kept imagining the different horrible ways Dracula was going to kill her father.
The mana barrier was begining to unravel and Nexus didn't know how much more he could take. His main focus was finding Dracula, but the werewolves kept him busy. He smiled in respect. Dracula was a wise man and this was his scheme. He was going to keep them busy until they became too weak to fight. He was too cunning to attack the police station head on, and while the Mana barrier was still up.
The system warned him to take a step back to recharge, but how could he? The barrier was weakening and their defenses would be easily chopped through. He was beginning to feel nervous himself. This battle was proving difficult each passing minute. The system didn't stop reminding him to take a step back to recharge and eventually he accepted. He ran back into the police station yelling to Tom.
Crystal sat beside Madeleine carefully monitoring his every move. All he needed to do was call out to her to join him.
There was no Dracula in sight, but the fight had started. It could only mean one thing. "Tom!!" He yelled as soon as he got inside and Tom and the others rushed to his side. He saw Madeline sitted beside Tiffany and nodded to her with a reassuring smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He was just as nervous as everyone else.
"He is going to attack us from the inside. " Nexus said to Tom.
"Inside?" Tom asked with a frown. He didn't believe Nexus as it was only a trusted few that were inside the police station. If Dracula wanted to attack them from the inside, he'd have to shapeshift into one of them. The only people in the building were the wounded police officers and then, themselves. But even though Tom tried to dismiss Nexus ideas, he was beginning to see the sense in them.
"The wounded police officers..." He said finally, making eye contact with Nexus. He wanted to remain calm in the situation but if Dracula was already in the building, there was no use. "He will attack us from the inside, that sneaky old man". Tom growled, bringing out his weapon.
Everyone around him took a fighting stance and brought out their weapons as well. Madeline readied her magic to attack as well. However at this moment Nexus and Tom suddenly thought of something, they looked at each other and noticed the tension in each other's eyes as they both thought at the same time that one of the injured police officers had probably been poisoned by the werewolves.
It complicated their situation. If indeed Dracula was one of them, they were not going to find him easily.
Due to the fact that they hadn't fought with werewolves for a long time, while waiting for Dracula to attack, most of them had lost that vigilance and thought that those zombie-werewolves had lost their poison. The policemen and hunters who were injured in the battle just now did not show any signs of poisoning and most likely it was an illusion created by Dracula on purpose, and his aim was to let this part of the people enter the interior of the police station to treat their injuries.
Tom gasped, clutching his gun and Nexus brought out his sword and tapped on heavenly flame. He was ready and waiting for an attack. He turns to Nexus and nods before shouting orders to the police men around him to get to the clinic and contain the injured officers. But it was too late.
Shouts and screams erupted from the clinic, and before long, an injured officer turned into a werewolf while he looked. The werewolf growled, and then howled. Saliva gushed out of his mouth as he growled at them. But Tom stood his ground and so did Nexus.
The werewolf changed at them, nails out and ready to tear them into bits, but Tom whipped out his special gun and shoots the Werewolf before Nexus had a chance to do anything.
In that moment, Nexus and Tom shared a glance, their eyes reflecting the sudden tension that gripped them. The same chilling thought crossed their minds simultaneously – the injured officer, could he have been poisoned by the werewolves?
It had been a while since they last battled these beasts, and most of them had let their guard down, thinking that the zombie-werewolves had lost their venomous bite. The officers and hunters who bore the scars of the recent clash showed no signs of poisoning. But was it real, or a cruel illusion crafted by Dracula himself? His goal was clear – lure the wounded into the heart of the police station for treatment.
Crystal materialised at Nexus side, her eyes darting from side to side ready for an attack. She did not want to wait for an order and she wasn't willing to let Nexus die at the hand of the zombie werewolves. Nexus glanced at Crystal and she smiled at him. They said all they had to.
Without wasting a second, Tom barked an order to secure the injured officers. But it was too late. The battle cries had already pierced the air from the clinic room. A wave of dread washed over them as Nexus spotted a transformed officer – a werewolf now – charging out of the room, his fangs bared at his unsuspecting comrade.
Tom sprang into action, rushing to fend off the werewolf. But as he fought, he realized with a sinking feeling that the werewolves were multiplying around him.
