turned to look at the second
in command, Hoidrious.
     
    Hoidrious ignored them
though and Rex who was showing no signs that he was going to grant
their escape, simply grinned. The evil leader then turned to the other vampires in their caves and
said, ‘Now, about the planet’s cure. Please watch and take
note.’

Chapter 4 - The Fight
    Lucius didn't wait around when he saw the
women begin to change. Instead, trembling with fear, he ran through
his door and locked it from the other side.
     
    Kaine glanced to his right and saw to his
astonishment that the woman prisoner had just started changing into
a werewolf. Her body had outstretched and her legs had dislocated
from their sockets in front of him. The young girl wasn’t that far
behind in her transformation either.
     
    He couldn’t believe his
eyes. Werewolves? How? Had the war not
been won against them? Surely they were extinct, Kaine thought.
     
    The vampires in their caves were in an
uproar, as they sensed the great possibility of bloodshed. Rex then
held his hand up and signaled for them to wait.
     
    Kaine who sensed he hadn’t much time before
the beasts would be upon him, then flew up to a ledge beside the
old fool and turned to watch.
     
    The four guards in the arena beneath him, who
were trying to open the exit door to escape, then drew out their
swords with the intent to save themselves from being eaten.
     
    Lance was shouting out for help from his own
coven members, but no help came. His own coven members were just
looking at him and grinning.
     
    Realizing that he was in deep trouble, he
made a desperate attempt to save himself. Somehow he managed to
finally summon up enough strength to snap the spear. Screaming in
agony, he slid it back up through the other side of his leg. As the
splintered remains from the end of the shaft pulled backwards
through the massive hole, the pain was immense. More damage was
being done inside his leg from the timber spikes, and his blood was
everywhere. Then as he finally managed to crawl out from underneath
it, he was ripped to pieces by one of the werewolves.
     
    ‘That fool came here dressed like that? How
dare he test me in my own coven!’ Rex shouted out loud, then
grinned and broke into a cold, demonic laugh.
     
    Meanwhile, the spectators were scrabbling to
get as far to the edge of their caves as possible. They were
shoving each other out of the way, desperate to get the best
view.
    ***
     
    As a human chained in the arena below the
vampires, she was only a 14-year-old girl, but as the infection
from the moon had raced through her body, the young child that she
was began to change. The first thing that happened was that her jaw
outstretched, then her eyes glazed over heavily as they sunk back
into her skull. Then her back split and her forearms pushed
forwards and grew. Claws replaced her fingernails, and a huge tail
dropped down from between her legs. Masses of fur sprouted out all
over her body and her eyes turned into orbs, glowing brightly in a
fierce shade of red. Her back legs were the last to change, and her
ankles swelled as her feet began to look extremely evil and
grotesque. Fully changed, she craned her neck back and howled. Then
she turned and charged for the guards who were still trying to get
through the door.
     
    Swinging their swords wildly was not enough;
in a flash of a moment two of them were down. One was underneath
her, his sword laying some distance away, and her claws were firmly
sunk deep inside his chest. The other tried to stand, but in
another slice his chest came apart and like a fountain of crimson
red, his blood sprayed across her and the ground too.
     
    The bigger werewolf smashed into one of the
guards at the door, causing it to rattle. On the other side,
Lucius, who had summoned up enough courage to kneel down and peep
through a small hole, was terrified by what he saw. The sight of
the beasts made him drop his keys and, panic-stricken, he charged
up the stairs, desperately
