The Vampire's Witch

Helping Out a Friend

Zane and Star made quick work of gathering food and a few first aid items in the house that could be of use to them on their journey. Both wolf and vampire were sad to leave the gaming console and television behind, but as Star had pointed out the electricity wouldn't be on forever and it would soon be useless dead weight. After loading up the truck quickly and quietly the trio set out in the dark cover of night. Zane following behind the pair on the motorcycle, Star's sheathed sword handle glittering in the moonlight, Will's blonde locks gleaming in the moon's pale glow.

They made good time til they got closer to the city, the streets becoming more and more congested with cars and a few sprinkling of zombies. The group came to a stop at an intersection that was blocked by two crashed cars, the wolf hopped quickly out of his truck making his way quietly towards one of the cars. It was a silver, older Nissan squished with a newer green Chevy car. The vampire met him at the silver car and both started to move silently in sync to get the cars to the side of the road, the red-head stood guard by the bike and truck sword drawn when she felt it.

The pull of familiar magic calling out to her own magic asking her for help, she lowered the sword and sunk her fingers into the ground trying to pinpoint where it was coming from. Both Will and Zane stood back all finished moving the two cars when they noticed the redhead quietly crouched down, both men walked towards her.

"We need to head this way, follow me slowly." Star was very focused on the trail of magic, sword still drawn at the ready as she started walking not waiting for either vampire and wolf to follow her.

The wolf shrugged at the vampire and jogged towards his truck to grab an ax, tossing it over his shoulder before heading after the redhead, ponytail swaying in the light breeze as he watched her.

Will rolled his eyes before pulling out two thin knives seemingly from nowhere, willing his demon to the front his face shifted, ridges forming, eyes turning gold. He followed his mate and the wolf's steady quiet footsteps,

Star stopped, she peered around the corner of a large brick building. There was a group of around ten zombies surrounding a blue gray van. Zane stopped behind her looking past her towards the van, he could smell children in the van. The odor of vanilla wafers and dirt hitting his sensitive nose. Will walked up, looking over Star's shoulder. "You're going to make me into a bloody boy scout, aren't you Luv, off to save the bleedin day." He whispered in the witch's ear, before looking towards the wolf nodding.

She smiled back at him, dimple flashing on her cheek. The vampire twirled his knives gripping them into a fist before leaping into the fray with a snarl on his demonic face, the wolf followed at a little distance with his ax making short work of any who staggered his way. The redheaded witch covered the rear, as they cleared the way to the van. Watching the blonde vampire was truly graceful in his kills, decades of practice showed in his movements. Zane had plenty of practice but was better equipped in his wolf form than in his human form although he held his own just fine protecting the witch.

When no one but the trio was left standing Will tapped on the vans sliding doors before wiping his blades down on his jeans before tucking them back into there hiding spots. The door slide open and a blonde woman lept out of the van and into the redhead's arms, "I knew you'd help us."

"Cassidy, I'm so glad you made it." She pulled back smiling at the redheaded witch before releasing her, "Hi Zane." She smiled at the blue-green haired wolf before turning her gaze towards Will. "I don't know you, but thank you."

The redhead smiled at the blonde woman, "Cassidy this is Will."

"He's the 'Will', the one you always talked about? You do know he's a vampire right? Has he always been a vampire or is this like a recent thing?"

Will smirked, "We should take this little reunion somewhere else, might want to grab the kiddies too." Star looked past Cassidy into the van to see two children sitting with to a teenage boy who looked at them with hostile eyes. Arms wrapped around the kids ready to protect them.

The children and teen got out of the van and followed the wolf back towards the truck and motorcycle. Will and Star followed the rear of the group ready for whatever might show up.

"Cassidy we can put you guys in the cab of the truck, the back has three seats so the kids can rest back there. When was the last time yall ate? We have water if you guys are thirsty." Star said to the blonde witch, smiling at the children.

"Not since yesterday when we ran out of food, let's get everyone set up with snacks and in the seats, so we can head out, do yall have a plan?" The blonde said helping one of the children into the seats, while the teenager helped the other child buckle his seat before sliding in beside the sniffling child.

Zane handed bottles of water to the teen and children in the back seat before handing one to Cassidy as well. Star handed them apples while Will explained hurriedly where they were heading before heading over to his to pull his motorcycle closer, Zane took that time to hand the kids bags of crackers. Cassidy closed the door on the kids and moved quickly to the front seat gently closing the door before opening the water bottle and gulping down the contents. Zane closed the door watching the redhead put her helmet on and jump on the back of Will's motorcycle. He started the truck following the couple on the bike closely.
