6 chapter six

Allicin, Sara shook her head in wonder. This was what the garlic plant released as a defense against vampiric orgasims like herbivores, pathogens , or parasites. However it had not contributed to an antidote to cure vampirism despite it burned the skin of the fiens in a tormenting scorching sensation other than have the doctor go in search for common types of Dna in other plants that may work.And one did.

The reason she was thinking about what Winnmire had told her about garlic was right now they were filling up a huge tank used for spraying pesticides with fresh made garlic juice, gallons of it. It was hooked to an electric pump for pressure and had a rubber line running up from a closed garage where the tank sat to a long continual pvc pipe just under the gutters of the roof. Several small holes were drilled into the plastic pipeline that was a half inch in diameter and a cap was at the very end of it.

Her and Winnmire was finishing up a long day of making some surprises for the ghouls , Matteos hordes when they attacked . The twins had pitched in on some of the traps that needed earth displaced and block and tackle type wieght engines for those mechanism that popped up from the dirt they were covered with. The brothers main job was keeping a frequency block surrounding the farm so Matteo and his troops of undead could not find out what the four of them had planned.

The basement had been refitted for a control room and had two or three levers sticking up out of a home made metal base, quaint but effective. above this was a pull cable to latches that released long lines of the explosive vapor bombs to the foray where the rear entrance of the house was and above the basement doors. One hundred and fifty of the vampire killers lay waiting release at the right time.

Sara had watched the doctor create a hinge type mechanism for long wood spikes attached to light aluminum frames so they would stand straight out when pulled fast as lightning from the ground as heavy weights were dropped from the silo. Winnmire had gotten the idea from the fold out sofa bed in his room watching how the legs on the end folded out automaticly when pulled out of the couch.There were over a hundred of these spikes the frames lay next to each other for over twenty feet back away from the entrance to the house which had another twelve foot wide by eight foot tall frame with fifty more of the long wooden spikes mounted on it.

They were ready as they would ever be.

" Everybody got their own part in the battle down ?" Victor asked after they gathered in the dining room for their last minute instructions.

" David is going to control the traps and vapor bombs, You and Rick are going to try and draw the fiens that are left after the traps are used away from the door to clear the way for Matteo to come to the basement to take me. David will distract him when he knocks down the basement door andIi will stab my sword as hard as I can into his heart area to kill him." Sara said.

"Right ...Rick said taking over the conversation...We are assuming that Matteo is going to use the same method of attack as Joe did when he took you Sara. We are not able to read his frequency right now , Matteo is an expert with the trait but because there are two of us combining our mental powers we are stronger with it and he knows it."

"Also his troops only have a basic knowledge of the trait and we know the attack is on us any minute now, but we are ready." Victor chimed in

Rick nodded agreement then looked to Winnmire. " What is your assessments of our booby traps David?"

" We tested one and it worked perfectly, but lack of time caused us to have to trust the others will also work right. Anyway all we can do is try and see what happens trial and error I suppose." Winnmire replied.

Rick smiled Dr. humble there . "Any questions or thoughts anyone ?"

Sara cleared her throat hesitant. " Now that we have a working antidote ,would curing Matteo be better in order to gain his help in destroying the machine?"

" I have known Matteo for a long time ..Victor injected..He is ruthless and diabolical. Look how he used Rick, you, and the doctor, to get rid of Joe. I say he should die its doubtful that kind of ambition could be cured."

"I agree with Victor ." Winnmire said softly."

" Me as well." Rick agreed.

Sara nodded." Okay that settels it then."

Strangely putting the vamp to death did not make her feel one way or the other it was just something that had to be done. She was prepared and ready to do her part.

Matteo sent his troops in staying back far enough to be safe from the fray but close enough to see the battle so he would know when to go after Sara.

Sixty well trained ghouls came out from the surrounding pastures an began to mill around at the rear door into the house. The same door Joe had used according to his sources that had escaped death that night.

Matteo knew that it led through the kitchen into steps to the basement where he was convinced Sara and the doctor would be.Soon he would have his plans finished Winnmire would be dead and the woman with him in london to be impregnated .

He felt a surge of impatience as neither Rick or Victor came out to fight and a snarl crossed his ghastly face.

Suddenly to his amazement the horde of fiens threw their hands and arms up to cover their faces as something sprayed from the gutters. The ones in the rear turned to run, at once a metal fence looking apparatus flew up from the ground stabbing long wooden shafts through several of his troops who disintegrated. Matteo shook off his surprise and seeing the other fiens looking confused as if ready to flee he yelled as loud as he could ..."Attack!!"

The smell of garlic hung heavy in the air reaching the King fiens nostrils. To his astonishment and great irritation as the horde turned once more to attack the door a long fence full of wooden stakes flew up from the ground in front of the door and more fiens disintegrated , then more garlic juice srayed down on the others from a pipe under the gutter.

He saw five or six of the vampires turn and flee from the farm having had enough of this.

Quickly Matteo turned his frequency out and began locking onto his troops willing them to stay and fight.

Rick and Victor appeared from within the house , he saw Rick go to one side of the house and Victor the other swinging their swords and gashing the ghouls.

This fit Matteo's plans perfectly and he smiled a devilish grin. Locking onto five frequency's of his forces he directed them into the house to the basement. He cursed loud and long as he heard popping sounds and saw through the open door vapor rising and the ghoul's he sent in dissappear .

After awhile he saw the vapor fade away and sent another fien in to check it out. Soon the fien reappeared unhurt.Looking over to see Rick and Victor still occupied by only two or three of his force left each , he knew he had to rush the basement now or never.

As he ran into the house he tasted the sweet taste of victory , he knew Sara was his as Rick and Victor were both still preoccupied with enemy vamps but not for much longer. He had to get the women and get out before the brothers killed the last of his troops.

He grabbed the basement door and yanked it from its hinges like it was childs play. Seeing Winnmire across the room with some type of weapon pointed at him, he was about to attack the doctor but to his most sincere shock he saw Sara springing from where she was crouching next to the door and ram a short wooden sword into his midsection. The last thing the king of vampires would ever see as he disintegrated to nothing.

Sara stood looking down at the stain on the floor where Matteo had been a moment before adrenaline flowing throughout every vessel she had, shaking like a leaf." I did it David! Killed Matteo!"

"you sure did Sara ! You sure did." Winnmire said as he ran past her to go check on Rick and Victor.

Victor had just killed the last of the ghouls attacking him and turned to see Rick just kill one fien and fighting the last one of Matteos troops as the doctor came cautiously out of the house. " You okay Victor?"

"Great dctor ..He smiled ..Rick just got the last one." He watched as he saw the fiens head fly into the air and disintegrate to dust.

" How's Sara ?...Rick asked voice tense ....Did she get Matteo?"

"She sure did , no problem at all."

Rick smiled .

Sara came to the door looking out at the barn and cattle grazing behind it. " Who wants to sit and watch me drink a cup ok coffee?"

The men smiled as one and followed her into the house.

Hose walked around his newly acquired asylum in Rome ,light hearted and smiling . He spoke to orderlies, and nurses ,technicians whomever he passed in the hallway. Word had just gotten to him that Matteo had been defeated in the attack on the ranch a few days ago and he was now the leader of the undead .

Not only that but a woman had been found with the right combination of genes to bear a child suitable for the machines essense draining side which now had been repaired and the problem responsible for the malfunction solved and repaired .

Life was good.

The waters of the Mediterranean rippled somewhere off the coast of Italy as a cruise missle rose slowly out of the water and as its jets fired turned and accelerated at a high rate of speed in the direction of rome.

Victor sat with his fangs sank into an antidote spiked blood ball he looked over at Rick who had taken his antidote hours earlier still knocked out across the bed sound asleep.He hoped the cure he was taking worked fast he only had four hours.

It had been a battle to convince Rick to take the antidote first since Winnmire did not know for a fact with such a short time frame, only a couple hours untill launch of the missile that would destroy the machine in Rome ,so the one who did use the trait to control the person who entered the coordination of the missile could only do so a short time before in order it would not get found out and mission aborted by a military redundancy system . if the one who did use the trait would survive.

The empty blood ball fell from the sleeping Victors hands.

The internet today is an amazing thing in that you can pick any city in the world and find hundreds of webcams on security sites available for anyone to access. Which is what Sara had done, carefully going through every camera she could find in Rome for a couple days untill she was rewarded with the Rossi asylum full view thanks to a security camera a few shops down the street.

She watced intently untill suddenly smoke and dust filled the screen and the camera dissapeared from the web.

Walking slowly , almost afraid of what she may find , she went to the twins room and opening the door saw Rick sleeping on the bed . Victor no longer was sitting in the easy chair .She glanced around the room then a closer look at the chair showed a stain where someone had sat.

Tears flowed down her cheecks as she left the room closing the door softly as she could.

The End.
