chapter 81

Damon and Max had upped their travel speed and arrived in the city where the headquarters of the Volturi was by nightfall.

When they arrived, they didn't draw any unwanted attention to themself as they walked around.

" This city smells disgusting." Max complains as he walks next to Damon with his face distorted from the smell.

" I agree it's best we do your business quickly and leave, smelling this for too long will surely kill me." Damon says.

' A city which is the home of vampires, it smells terrible sweet but I guess that's to be expected." thinks Damon.

And as they moved forward complaining about the smell they were also using it to find out how many vampires there were in the city.

" The places with the highest number of vampires is straight ahead, and there are some more throughout the city." says Max.

" Yeah, it seems it best we split up and deal with them separately, the only question is who goes where." says Damon.

" Hm, for all I care you can go to the headquarters, I'll deal with the stragglers, then just follow my scent to find me, I'll be somewhere outside the range of the scent." says Max as he speeds off no doubt going after one of the vampires he had found, leaving Damon standing alone.

" Alright then, into the vampire nest we go." says Damon as he speeds off.

(Woods couple miles away)

WHOOSH

WHOOSH

WHOOSH

WHOOSH

Four shadows moving quickly are running through the forest heading in the direction of the city Damon and Max are in right now.

It was clear from their speed they aren't humans, that only left vampires, the darkness of night covered their faces, and combined with their speed it was impossible to tell what they looked like, as they ran in formation, one soon spoke.

" Why has master suddenly ordered the destruction of the Volturi?" one of the shadows asked in a deep voice belonging to a man.

" who knows, the only thing to do is carry out his orders completely, I'm sure lately you all have noticed master becoming crazier by the day." another shadow says in a feminine voice.

" Oh, how I miss the good old time." the third says.

" We all do, but seeing as two vampires sent by master have been killed you can't belay him for becoming suspicious." says the final shadow.

"Suspicion is that what you call it? I would think it was full-on crazy." one responded.

" You two stop now isn't the time for you to start fighting, even though the mission this time is easy we can't make any mistakes, the Volturi must be wiped out if even one person escapes we will be killed, I'm sure you all know that."

"I'm telling you it doesn't matter if we complete this mission or not, with the way things are developing we will be dead soon either way, and you all know I'm right."

"Well it's been a good life longer than expected, but at least I enjoyed it."

"Tch, you all are complaining as if you have the right, so what if master kills us? if it wasn't for him we'd all be dead anyway, he saved us letting us live this long enjoying anything we wanted if he wants to end this life of ours just present your neck for him to cut." one of the shadows said.

"....."

Hearing this the others turned quiet, if they agreed with what was said or not, is unknown, they continued forward as all conversation ceased.

(Max)

After leaving Damon Max had run off to find his first target to begin his killing spree for the night, but all he cared about was getting out of the terrible smell that kept invading his nose.

Max's first target was a man who was about to feed on a local in an alleyway, when Max arrived he didn't waste any time and swiftly bite off the head of his target making sure the blow would kill by using his venom.

As for the lady that was about to be fed on, she stood shocked as the vampire that was holding her from behind, in a tight hold suddenly dropped to the ground.

"I'm glad you're fine, but I don't have the time to help you through your panic right now so sleep and think of this as a dream."

hearing the voice from behind her the lady who was just saved was scared, even more so than when she was being attacked before, but as the panic started setting in she noticed her vision getting darker until there was nothing.

"On to the next one." says Max as he glances towards the corroding body.

"It should be gone by morning." was all he said then sped off.

Max's night continued like this as he, when from one target to the other killing them all with a bite filled with venom then leaving their bodies to corrode.

As the time passed Max had already killed nearly fifteen vampires throughout the city, and was now head he his final target.

"Just up ahead." said Max as he ran on the main road towards his target.

It wasn't long till a person appeared in his view, and Max attacked growing one size from his current dog size to bite off the person's head in one go.

Bam!!

The body dropped to the ground making it truly the fifteenth vampire he killed tonight, another life lost.

But Max could careless al this meant to him was that he could exit this city and get away from this terrible smell that was enveloping this city.

Not waiting around Max set off from where he came heading straight out of the city, until he was out of range of the smell.

"I'm sure Damon will be fine, he should be back by the time this scent has cleared from my nose and I'm able to smell properly again." said Max

But what Max didn't notice was that four pairs of eyes were watching him in interest, if the smell wasn't bothering him as much maybe he would have been able to focus on hearing them, but now he was clearly in trouble without knowing it.
