Chapter 19

"Alright then do it. Get the poison out of her system and save her life." A restless Dominic said.

"I..It's not as easy as that." Melissa replied not looking too confident.

"What do you mean?" Dominic became more worried.

"You see, the vemon has mixed and circulated with her blood for too long. It will be very difficult to get it out with the normal extraction process. We need to find something that can filter and extract venom from blood." The healer, Melissa explained.

"Then find one," Dominic was looking really desperate.

"It's not easily available."

"O..Okay. Where can we find one? I will go get it no matter the cost or place I have to go just give me the location." Dominic said all fired up but Melissa took her head down.

"I do not know," she said weakly and Dominic felt a part of his heart die with those words.

"What are you saying? What do you mean you don't know? You are the healer you ought to know!" His sadness was turning to anger and frustration at this point.

Melissa kept quiet probably because she doesn't want to upset Dominic any further since she doesn't have any solution to give to him.

"Come on, say something. What am I supposed to do?? Please say something!" Dominic yelled and his eyes were already becoming watery.

"I am sorry," Melissa replied softly with head still bowed in hopelessness.

Dominic's eyes widened out and he stood still with heaved breathing for some seconds before all of a sudden he marched out of the tent with great fury and anger burning in his eyes.

"Youuu!" He screamed angrily as he set sight of Damon who was about to leave the camp.

Damon turned around and saw a furious Dominic charging at him and when Dominic got to Damon he let loose- throwing a powerful fist aimed at Damon's face.

"You caused this!" He screamed while at it...But Damon caught his fist in his palm as if it was nothing right before it could make contact with his face.

Dominic had a surprise look on his face not only because his punch was caught so easily but also on how powerful Damon was as he wasn't able to get his hand loose from Damon's grip despite using all his strength while Damon seemed so relaxed and stress-free. However Dominic was prepared to make Damon pay for what he did to his lover as he blamed him for Amelia's present condition.

"Ahhhhh!" He screamed out throwing another punch with his free hand, aimed at Damon's face...But yet again it was caught with little effort from Damon. Dominic's eyes widened out in shock but he refused to be defeated.

"Ahhhhh!" He attacked Damon with a powerful headbutt, hoping to break and smash Damon's nose in..

However Dominic found himself on the dusty ground as Damon was quick to dodge his attack.

Dominic felt embarrassed and that only enraged him further. Standing up he screamed with all his strength then jumped in the air only to land on the land a complete, fearsome looking beast- the black wolf. The black wolf snarls and growls at Damon in a deadly manner and after a few seconds of aggressive showing it pounces on Damon with teeth and claws ready to do permanent damage.

"Grrrrrrrr....ahhhhhh..."

True the black wolf is big, powerful and fearsome but it's still no match for Damon as Damon was able to get it to submit.

After aviating all of its attack Damon grabbed hold of the big, black wolf on the back of the neck and pinned it on the ground; face first..

The black wolf struggled to break free from Damon's hold but it proved impossible and after a minute or so of trying to set itself free the black wolf submitted and soon after he transformed back to its human form. In his human form Dominic still remained in that position with his head pressed on the soil by Damon's powerful grip.

"You killed her, you killed her...you killed my love." Dominic struggled to speak without dust entering into his mouth.

Damon didn't give a reply to him he just held him down there for some length seconds before letting go of him but Dominic remained lying down on the ground. Perhaps he was just too embarrassed to get up or he simply didn't care to stand up any longer since the one he loved with all his heart and soul was about to be nothing more than a memory and there is nothing he could do about it. He isn't even powerful enough to avenge her.

"I am sorry Amelia, I am so sorry Amelia. I failed you..." He kept uttering those words in whimper and tears.

Damon stared at him for a while then he turned and walked into the tent where Amelia was lying.

"Leave us." He ordered the healer Melissa and she looked at him skeptical but did as she was told.

Standing up, she slowly walked out of the room leaving Damon alone with the almost lifeless Amelia. Damon stood and examined Amelia for a while before drawing close to her and then he bent over to the bed level...

Meanwhile outside the tent.

The gray wolf, Amelia's brother Henry, just came into the scene. He was able to survive the wolf hunting by the vamps without getting caught and was also able to lead them away from where their camp was but when he got to the camp the atmosphere he met wasn't too palatable with him especially the condition in which he found his friend, Dominic. Transforming back into his human form Henry ran to meet his friend Dominic.

"Hey man, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting this way? You are disgracing yourself. Come on get up," he tried lifting Dominic up but Dominic hardened himself.

"No man, let me be here and do not try to stop me. Please allow me to suffer," Dominic was deprived of life, it felt like his very soul had left him.

"Let you suffer? What are you talking about, man?" Henry was looking all confused.

"Where is Amelia? I need to see her." He later asked as he remembered the state she was in when he saw her last but then he noticed the sad expression that pasted itself on Dominic's face when he mentioned his sister's name and that got Henry worried.

"Where is Amelia? Where is my sister?" Henry asked but he was met with silence and that drove him wild.

"Goddamn! Answer me Dominic! Where is Amelia!!" Henry's voice was as loud as thunder as he grabbed hold of Dominic by the arms- shaking him furiously but Dominic just kept shaking his head in despair.

"She is gone," Dominic finally spoke and Henry's heart was cut into two.

Meanwhile,

"We lost them," the dark brown-eyed vampire said in a tone clearly showing his disappointment.

"Fuck!" He kicked the dust.

"Calm yourself brother, we will get them next time." The silver haired vampire with thick, blue eyes said to him.

"I know, but I wanted so badly to taste wolf's blood though it's bitter as shit I still want to drain those smelly creatures of their live source." The dark brown-eyed vampire replied.

"Speaking of tasting blood." Elisha, the handsome, pale looking vampire, said introducing himself to the conversation.

"I bit the female wolf and left my venom inside her. She wouldn't live to see the light of day. I think her death would serve as a reminder to the wolves, who's town this belongs to."

The silver haired vampire with thick, blue eyes and the brown eyes vampire all smiled evilly the same as the other vampires.

"It will always remain Vamp's town!" The dark brown-eyed vampire said out loud and the others joined him to chorus the same thing except for Elisha who had a lopsided devilishly smile...

Meanwhile, back at the wolf camp.

"Y...You can't be speaking the truth. I don't believe you. My sister isn't dead. Tell me this is a big joke, Dominic. Tell me!" Henry was in a state of disbelief while Dominic looked devastated.

"I am sorry.. I couldn't save her. I failed," Dominic words just made Henry weak and he fell to the floor, knees first.

"Amelia," he said softly in a tone clearly showing his pains and then drops of tears fell from his eyes down to the dusty ground creating a little wet hole on the ground and soon after that little hole turned into a stream of tears...

"Henry," a soft female voice called out and the voice sounds so familiar to be true.

He must be dreaming.

Henry slowly turned around and saw his sister, Amelia coming out from a tent and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Why are you in tears, Henry?" She asked innocently and for some seconds Henry lost the ability to speak. He was just too shocked. Before.

"Amelia..you are alive!" he said out loud as he sprouted up from the ground.

Dominic on his part hadn't seen or heard Amelia speak until Henry spoke those words and he turned around to see her standing and breathing.

Surely he was seeing a ghost, he thought.

"Amelia," he also got up to his feet.

Henry went and embraced his sister tightly. "I thought I had lost you."

He said still in her embrace and when they were done it was Dominic turns for a tight embrace.

He hugged her so tight that he could feel her heartbeat on his chest.

"Never you do that again. Never you leave me again. I won't be able to live without you." He said in the embrace before holding on to her head with both hands.

"Promise me you will never leave me." He said looking into her eyes.

"I promise you " Amelia said softly and they both hugged again...
