Chapter 14: Ending a Threat and Returning Home
(Previously...)
Not far away there was a pissed off Jessamine who was staring at the cashier who was interacting with her man. And then she heard, "Will that be all, sir?" The cashier asked Chris. Chris nodded and paid for the clothes in his hand, handing his credit card over to the cashier. He ignored the Cullens while paying for his clothes as Chris wondered, 'Where is Alice and Edythe?' soon after turning around and walking toward the exit of the store.
He stopped near the door as he heard some kind of commotion coming from the back of the store where the women's section was located. He knew full well it was the Cullen girls, he had great hearing as well, if not better than a vampires. Not wanting to get into any of their drama, he left after paying for his purchases and waved goodbye to the cashier girl as he made his way to the exit, made the girl blush as he made his way out...
Chris POV...
Before I stepped out of the store, I almost made it out, I should have paid attention rather than playing earlier scene off, when I was suddenly hit by something soft that ran into me. As I looked down at who or what had hit me, 'seems like the commotion came to me.' I said to myself in thought as I looked at the young girl that ran into me. Standing in front of me was Jessica and Angela, two juniors from Forks High School.
While there was another girl that came with them who was sitting in front of the stores window, holding her forehead. "Oh my, what a coincidence Mr. Armandeo, to see our favorite person not at school at this time, hmmm, and why would that be?" Angela said with a gentle smile while she was hugging me. "Hey Chris, what's up? How are you doing? Angela, let go of Chris please, he doesn't like to be touched." Said Jessica from the side of Angela.
After she released me at Jessica's insistence. Jessica smiled and nodded but was very embarrassed due to the fact that she, one of my students, and being caught at the same time by her favorite teacher and friend. Jessica crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes thinking that something else was wrong with Angela. Jessica leaned in as I heard her say, "He's my teacher in Trigonometry class you're taking too right now, please be respectful."
That surprised Angela by the way Jessica was talking about someone else and became embarrassed for being caught out of school by her favorite teacher no-doubt and Jessica's friend as well. "Don't worry girls, I'll let this one-time pass, now if you would excuse me, I need to get back to my shopping. Bye girls and please get back to school before school ends." I warned the girls about their ditching school and went on my way.
I could feel the anger and jealousy coming from behind me as I left the store, but it wasn't towards me but the girls that were talking to me and mostly on Angela for having the gal of hugging me. I only chuckled beneath my breath after leaving the clothing store. Soon after I was gone and the other students had left as well, the Cullen kids came out from the female section.
Alice, Edythe, and Jessamine had suspicious and narrowed eyes at Jessica and Angela, they were looking not to pleasant at them. "AAHHH... those bitches. How could they dare hug our mate. I'll kill them!!" Edythe started to snarl out loud, as Alice and Jessamine started to agree with her. "You will do no such thing. Once we get home, we will talk to Carlisle to see what we can do. For now, let's finish with our shopping and go home."
Said Edward as they all walked out from the clothing store in a group. They never noticed that I was listening to them as they walked by me, as I was under an invisibility spell standing a few meters away from them. After they left from view, I continued on with my shopping. The day continued slowly as minutes passed into hour and the sky was already getting darker, all the lamp lights of the area were lighting up.
I had a few stops left to go to, which one shop had interested me when I first came here. A books store that had many old and interesting books, from language books to college teaching course books I wanted to acquire the last time I was here. This bookstore was located a few suites down from the clothing store, but it looked almost hidden in a cubby hole, hard to see if you really weren't looking for it.
As I was walking towards the bookstore, I glanced up at the dark night sky a few time because I didn't want to get wet walking down the streets when it starts to rain. The ground was still slightly wet from yesterdays rain, and my every step made a slight splashing sound under my boots as I walked down the street, it was getting annoying. So, I decided to enter a certain dark alleyway which was a shortcut that lead to the bookstore.
It also lead me back to the restaurant and the clothing store I started earlier from when I started shopping, which cut my time a few minutes heading back. I also had to head back to the restaurant I was in at first because I had ordered a few to-go meals and I still needed to pick up the preordered food. As I was walking in the alley, I suddenly noticed from the corner of my left eye, two figures standing in the dark.
They were both wearing what looked like dark black heavy-covered cloaks, they were just staring my way for some reason. They did nothing as I stepped passed by them and walking out of the alleyway. After I exited the alleyway, I applied an invisible spell on myself and watched them walk behind a lone man that was heading in the direction I just came from. "Easy mark, don't you think Blasé? I told you if we waited long enough, we could get our next mark."
I heard one of the covered figures say. "Yeah, okay. What now? Do we get him now or wait?" The other covered man said, he sounded anxious for some reason. So, I stayed near them as I watched one of the men knock out the unsuspecting man who had just passed me a few minutes ago. To bad he was walking alone, they took him toward some old abandoned warehouse a few blocks away from the main streets of Port Angeles.
I knew of these abandoned places for some time now, I took in scouting out places where supernatural's would hang around in. I had found many of these places a long time ago and had mapped every unnoticeable and deserted place in Port Angeles a few months ago. And it figures that these guys would use them for their nefarious acts, such as what they are doing now.
They think that they just captured an easy mark, and too bad for them not noticing me as I walked behind them watching everything they were doing. 'Time to set up my trap, let's see what I could get out of them.' I thought to myself as I flew ahead of them to set up things, since I knew where they were heading I flew ahead of them. As I had spread my senses out over the whole area, I noticed right away that two other people were not far behind these two and their victim.
So, I nudged them away from the populous, seeing the suspicious duo getting nearer to my set trap, one from the unwelcomed creepers from the rear and the other the two vampires carrying their victim to his doom. Both set of people coming from two sides as I awaited inside the warehouse for my trap to go off. As the two human blood sucking vampires entered, I immediately activated my trap ward as I waved my hands in the air.
I sent out two spells as they entered, one saving the guy they took, the unconscious guy immediately disappeared from their hands and reappearing outside away from the danger he was just in. Still unconscious though, but safe and the other spell trapped the two vampires from escaping into the night as well as making sure nobody would impede me from playing with my new playmates.
I acted quickly and knocked out the two inside the ward, for I sensed three others were approaching the warehouse from the other end of the building. After making sure they were tied up and away from sight, I brought my wards down so I could let the other three enter the trap. As I waited for them to enter I added a new set of wards around the warehouse, these wards would let no one hear anything nor see anything as long as they stayed within the ward ed zone.
I will instill justice to whoever and whatever kills humans for pleasure or fun. All my wards consisted of an spells and charms together such as, an evasion, illusion, anti-noise, anti-cent, anti-vibration spells packed in a small matrix engraved on a small ward stones that I dropped a few feet from any trap I set, and today it's this warehouse, so the stones are lying at the four corners, three feet from the building corners.
Once all the four stones are activated, the stones activate the ward runes and activating whatever runes and wards are carved into them, like this one, which have six runes and two wards placed on it. It has an anti-teleportation ward, and disorientation ward to prevent vampires and the like from escaping as a dome of invisible energy closes the zone off.
The six runes are anti-odor, anti-movement, plus forty-times the gravity, anti-noise, displaced illusion rune making the walls and such disappear from sight, and a very powerful ultraviolet enhancing rune, which will be used as a kill switch after my interrogation sessions end. Well, back to the incoming supernatural's, who will be soon sent to whatever hell they believed in.
After a few minutes of hiding, whoever had followed these two entered and my trap activated again. I soon disillusioned myself and walked out from the corner and frightening them as did not see me there when they entered and me appearing out of nowhere. As I closed my eyes, I concentrated my senses on their heartbeats, not hearing anything, I figured they were undead as I disappeared from their site again and started my interrogations.
Before I started on these vamps, I had already changed into my costumed suit, just uncase I got spotted, and I went to work. I started small, with the one with his head always down, meaning the least willed animal of the group, there were three of them that matched that description. Soon I stated with them and no noise coming from anyone as I gutted two already.
"Where the hell did he go?" Yelled out one of the undead supernatural's. From all the quietness around them, only one single heartbeat could be heard and that being mine as I went through another vamps cries and memories as I bulldozed through their heads and got whatever useful information they had. Then their world descended into silence as only one stood there unharmed, staring into whatever illusion he was in.
Without him noticing a loud explosion from his rear, a large white-hot flame had suddenly surrounded the warehouse exits and windows. From the shadows that were left from the back of the warehouse right corner, my costumed form leaping high into the air and just stood mid-flight. I was wearing my battle suit, dark grey in color which covered everything from shoulder to my toes in a runed suit.
Attached to the shoulders of my suit was a black hooded cloak that went all the way down to the back of the thighs. My arms were covered by dark metal armor gauntlets, the black cloak was connected to the suited armor as if it were part of the suit itself, it had no seams telling it was two-piece suit. While my forearms and upper hands were covered by grey metal gauntlets that matched the armor in color.
At the middle of my suit chest was a small grey symbol, a black raven figure with its wings spread as if it was in flight, the symbol was also on each of the arm gauntlets as well. The hood of the cloak covering my whole head, converging over the top half face. And I wore a mask which was designed to hide the lower half of the face, I was floating in the place above a large hole that I made as I appeared in front of the last undead man, scaring him shitless.
The whole suit is runed to the max with a special feature, it floats two inch off the ground when in use, it's great against ground tracking. Also has an anti-odor, anti-heat, anti-cold, anti-noise, a small field of two inches appears invisible around the suit that prevents object from striking the suit as well is anti-mind reading, and anti-scrying. I can tell if there was a mind reader in the vicinity, because my runes would activate soon after.
The suit is also runed indestructible, enough to withstand a small nuclear explosion, and runed to go invisible when flying if desired by the user, which is only me. No type of animal, supernatural creatures included, dead or undead can hear, see, or smell the me if I'm hiding in secret. 'It looks like the suit of Guts in the Manga after acquiring the Wolf Nightingale suit from the Skyrim game.
But without the wolf head instead it has a black cloak from the shoulders that covers the whole head.' As for the five vampire, (after I heard no heartbeat on them, I noticed they were sporting fangs) that were coming together, four were already dust. The last one, his veins on his neck started to bulge grotesquely, making him look more aggressive and animalistic, his hair had turned black as coal flowing wildly down his unhuman looking backs.
He was wearing a long black cloak with hood covering his head that had darkened circles on his face, making it hard for anyone to see who they truly were, and he wore weird symbols that were flashing from his forehead as he all looked straight at me as if I was his next meal. I first thought that these five were from a cult or something, you know, hunt down someone for their blood and all.
But what really drew my attention later as I scanned them was that they all had white sharp teeth sporting as they grinned, beneath their nose, and they all had red rage-filled eyes as they stared at people as they walked by. Unlike so many other chivalrous men, I did not wait for him to attack, nor did I wait for him to start monologuing.
Readying myself, I took an immediate step forward, disappearing from his sight, as I swung downwards with a considerable amount of my strength. Thinking to myself that it would only withstand no more this amount to kill him, apparently not. The earth split open under the creature, but that was only from the power of my swing, bringing the vampire deep in the earth but not killing it as the area around us shattered into pieces.
Shards of ice and lightning shone pearly white upon the backdrop of my punch. 'That vampire will not be getting up again' as I thought to myself as I saw the hole in the ground and a punch coming back at me with seething anger in the vamps face as he rushed towards me. That vampire was quick as he his punch almost connected to my face. Instead it had connected with my own punch as they both connected.
He used his other arm to protect himself as my punch went through his defenses shredding the arm he had punched with into pieces, you could see the bone extruding out from the shredded arm, as they hung limply at the side of his body as he stepped back away from me. Along with the mangled legs that were sticking out from the buried bodies of the other dead vamps buried under the warehouse that had a two-foot-deep concrete floor.
Yet, dodging left, I side-stepped as a fire attack tried to hit me, as I cocked my head sideways and looked at these things that have a fire ability, which was new to me. After his fire attack failed, I stepped forward with intent to kill this vampire... whatever it was I was fighting, it looked like a vampire, maybe it was one of those special types. The unknown creature had ducked in time as my swing missed his head by mere inches at best.
But it wasn't able to move fast enough to dodge the knee strike that slammed into his jaw on the same move. Tearing it's jaw apart as my knee landed on its face, obliterating it's lower half in one hit, as it flew back against the far wall. It seemed lifeless as it sat there on the concrete floor without movement. There was no way this thong would beat me, after mastering fifteen types of martial arts through the many years that I chased certain master to learn.
I have practiced and mastered everyone of them so I could eliminate all the evil Supernatural beings of this world, well at least the ones that come after me and mine. Concentrating back to my fight, the creature that flew backward earlier started to move again. I noticed that the arm that got shredded earlier by trying to block my fist strike had healed, interesting... this vampire somehow has a healing factor.
That should be impossible, but here it is healing from its wounds, and I cannot let that happen. It gave me no time to attack as it stood up and recovered and retaliated at the same time. He flipped over a wooden table that was at the back of the warehouse, throwing it at me as it attacked me. I dodged the table that came flying at me, as the table tried covering my front view of the creature, it retaliated with its own sweeping attack.
It's legs lashed out from under me, sending a fire whip covering my left side without any control to the fire whip. It came close to me as I pushed one of the creatures legs upward evading it's attacked and guiding it to my left side as the fires direction burning it's right leg to ash when it made contact. Now down to three appendages, that's if it doesn't grow back. But I was confident in beating it, I was no ordinary foe.
Jumping over the fire debris and once I hit the ground I performed a combat roll to my right as another of the creatures fire whips came chasing after me and missing me by inches as it burnt another body belonging to his teammate that I killed before. Then from behind me, I heard screams as a new vampire somehow entered the warehouse and jumped at me.
I ignored it as I decided that it was time to axe cut the animal with my leg as I raised it high, beheading it as it came down at me. Now down to the last one again, the regenerative one. With this one I took my time as I wanted to see how long his regenerative powers would last. Hmm... that was a poor choice of words on my part at the moment.
Pushing my cringed face aside, I made two simple hand gestures which caused logs of various sizes to appear and move with the intent of my magic. The flame-pire (what I called the creature that can handle fire) burst with unknown power, sending away the logs that caught fire as they hit or got close to him. But it wasn't prepared for the leg axe that I had managed to strike it with as it embedded itself into his chest soon after.
As its back hit the warehouse wall shattering it, it stood there stunned as I slowly removed my leg from its chest and watched its now kneeling form. His eyes were wide, and his eyes were dilated as it looked at me with rage. I cared not for its feelings as I put a boot upon his chest again and pressed it down on the ground hard. I grabbed his head yanking hard separating its head from its shoulders.
Then threw a freezing spell at the creatures left over body making sure it was totally destroyed as it froze and broke apart into crystalline pieces of ice. The last creature that I thought I killed was balled up in a corner of the warehouse under some metal stairs. I walked up to him and without saying or asking him anything, I separated his head from his body with a swipe of my hand throwing a cutting curse at it.
Damn bastard moved away from the curse making it miss its head and cutting an arm from his body from its left shoulder. Then I said to it, "I aimed for your head, I must be tired. But do not worry, for I shall rectify that mistake right now." The creature coughed up black blood as it knelt before me holding its left shoulder. Looking down, I could see his non beating heart within his rib cage as I reached over to it.
"You will die a disappointment creature. You should not have followed the human blood path." I said to him in disapproval. "YOU CAN'T KILL ME; I AM FROM THE VOLTURI COVEN! THEY WILL COME FOR YOU!!" He yelled out as if saying the Volturi's name would scare and prevent me from killing it. "Your claims have been heard and found wanting dark creature of the night."
I said with disdain dripping from my voice, thinking of his poor fighting skills thus far. "Nooo, you can't do this! I am important to the Volturi!" Screamed the creature as I kept him down with my foot on its chest with the help of my telekinesis as well because I was a little tired. Suddenly it made one last doomed attempt to break loose from the bottom of my foot with a burst of his mysterious power.
But there was very little that could stand against the might of my power...'Spector's power'. (Hey, it sounded great as I said it in my head.) There was a flash of light that accompanied the swing of my conjured magic blade, one that sent a loud ringing noise throughout the warehouse district. As that last swing brought down the wards and brought unwanted attention to the area.
Utter silence descended the warehouse I was in as I threw three fire spells at all the other dead creature parts in the vicinity, while I knew that I was being watched by the Cullen's after the wards came down. "I will end all your kind if you fall from your non-human blood path, beware I do not catch you feeding on any innocents. For I, Spector have spoken." I said while I was staring at the Cullen's direction.
Then I activated my flying ability and disappearing into the skies as I flew away into the dark clouds above. After I flew a few miles north of Port Angeles, I then landed on an empty road and then teleported back to the closed off parking lot near where my car was. I then walked back to the restaurant to pick up the ordered food I asked for earlier and got ready to go home.
On my way out of the restaurant, I made sure to be seen by the Cullen's to make sure that I had a solid alibi from all the mess that happened at the warehouse district. After receiving and paying for my food I got into my car and drove back home ending my shopping day. As I neared the entrance of my property, I noticed someone was watching me from the road.
I stopped by the mailbox on the side of the road and looked to see who it was. Noticing that they were discovered, the person watching me disappeared sight. So, I used my senses to pinpointed where he or she went and probably find out who was watching me, but to my dismay I had no clue. Even with my heightened senses I still didn't find the person that was watching me earlier. I need to step up my training on the rest of my skills, this can't happen again.
Edwards POV... ten minutes after Chris left the bookstore...
As we were leaving the furniture store, not far away from the bookstore I saw Chris exit from, we heard a loud commotion, more or less sounded like an explosion coming from behind the buildings near the abandoned warehouse district of Port Angeles, after the explosion happened we all went out to investigate. Utter silence descended as a large fire column lit around what looked like a vampire body parts.
All the body parts around the area went up in flames and we all were scared shitless. With all those body parts I saw, it looked like more than three vampires were killed here, and we were all scared of the scene. When we suddenly heard from above us, "I will end all your kind if you fall from your non-human blood path, that is the only reason you your family is still alive, beware I don't catch you feeding on the innocent. For I, Spector has spoken and is watching."
