CHAPTER LIV

Elena drags herself across the dirt and twigs.

Belly against the floor like a snake.

She slitters through a protruding root from the floor.

She pauses as her breath drowns under the weight of the crows' caw.

A blue light shines above her head and cast her shadow against the floor.

"Get up," Mary's black hair merges with the dark background.

The crows go around them as Mary holds up a blue gem.

Its glowing light covers them in its soft colors and protects them from the crows.

Mary gives Elena a hand getting to her feet.

"Come on, let's go".

"What is the play here?

With this I don't know if we are going to get any signals to come in," the witch says.

"At this point, I'm starting to think there won't be any signal," Elena is not convinced the twins will be able to reach them now.

When they planned to sabotage Dracula's spell, they did not expect this.

Marcus and his men try to take cover as the crows' attack everyone in the park.

He tries to communicate into the mic but no one responds.

He curses behind his teeth as his siblings disappear behind the trees.

Mary and Elena come close to the end of the dark forest.

The crows are gone so the witch uses a spell to stop the gem's glow.

"Get down," Elena urges the witch to bend down and they walk to the edge of the forest.

It is dark but they can see the fire that burns at a distance.

The fire surrounds an altar and in front of the altar stands a man.

He stands at 6'7feet and wears a tux that shows an elegant side of this character.

His beards and his facial features look like an art of the great painters under the light of the flames.

The bellies of the women turn when the smell of burnt flesh comes to them.

"Satanic witches," Mary recognizes the women in maroon red cloak.

Elena remember Marcel's tale about the grandsons of the devil.

The satanic witches make her realize that the immortals weren't joking.

If they are not successful here, Lucifer may walk on the earth.

The fire gives way as Gabriel and Samuel cross the wall of corpses.

They slowly walk towards the altar under the heartless eyes of their father.

All attention drawn to them as they step on the altar.

"Hello. Samuel, Gabriel, can you hear me?" Elena speaks over her earpiece.

The twins share a glance as they hear the hunter's voice.

They know what to do.

"We will give you a signal, just pay attention" Samuel whispers.

Gabriel matches something and looks to the ground to see a dead child.

The barbaric state of the altar infuriates him.

"Lie down on the goddamn stones already," Dracula shouts.

His impatience clawing at his heart as it beats faster with every step that draws him closer to his wife.

Marcel begins to pace as he watches their plan materialize.

John eyes the vampire and signals for him to calm down.

The twins lay on the stones and stare into the dark sky.

"I miss my bed already," Samuel says.

They feel a force press them against the stones.

Gabriel tries to move but the force holds him firmly against the stone.

"What the hell is this?" he complains.

"Your end," Dracula smiles.

The witches increase the tempo at which they chant their spells.

John notices the mirror the two guards in armor hold.

A little crack appears on the mirror as the air becomes fierce.

Breeze blows violently through Rachael's black hair.

Gabriel's vision becomes blurry but not for long.

He begins to see everything as clear as day.

Sunshine welcomes him into a pleasant atmosphere.

He stands in a meadow and he sees his mother.

She stands a few feet away from him.

Her curly short hair is covered with a white scarf.

She wears a long brown skirt and a grey jacket.

"Mother," he mumbles as he stares in disbelief.

She smiles at him and her brown eyes shine under the sun.

"My baby boy," she says.

Gabriel walks towards her with caution.

"This can't be real. What is this place?" he asks.

"I don't know, I'm just glad to see you," she says.

Samuel hears his brother groan.

He calls his name out but Gabriel does not answer.

He groans loudly and Samuel screams out his name.

Rachael's eyes get wet with tears as Samuel tries to wake Gabriel.

She hates feeling helpless.

She clenches her fist as she thinks of how she can help.

Samuel roars aloud and suddenly goes quiet.

Elena and Mary watch the flames burn brightly.

They hear Samuel's roar, "That sounds like a lion in pain," Mary says.

"That sounds like a signal to me," Elena says.

"Elena," Kate calls out to her.

She is surprised to see her mother and uncle.

"What the hell is going on?

They were so many crows on the way here," Lucas says.

His hair is in a messy state.

"They just gave us the signal to attack," Elena says.

Kate uses binoculars to check the altar and Dracula's forces.

"We are going to need back up," she says.

"The signal is weak. I can't get to Marcus," Lucas says.

"But some of the men are on their way," he says.

"If anyone is hearing this, come in.

Shoot all supernaturals on sight," Lucas orders.

Mary turn and looks at the hunter with a riled face.

"All supernatural on sight?" Mary questions.

"They know what I mean," he shrugs.

"Let's go,".

Samuel finds himself in a meadow.

And tears fill his eyes when he sees Gabriel and her sitting on the grass.

He swallows hard as his mother reveals a bright smile.

"Hello, Baby Sam" she says.

"I'm not baby Sam, it's Sammy" he pauses.

He reconnects with a forgotten childhood and bends his head in sorrow.

He giggles, "You wicked creature," he mumbles.

Gabriel and his mother stand up.

"Come and hug me, my son" she says with wide open arms.

Samuel reluctantly walks to her and raises his head to reveal a sad face.

"I am sorry, mother" he stiffens up and pushes her away.

She falls to the ground and groans aloud.

Gabriel looks to his brother with a frown.

"What? You and I know that isn't our mother,"

Her dark skin paints a beautiful portrait on the green grass.

A beautiful serpent hiding beneath the fine grass of a celestial garden.

Gabriel roars and the scenery before his eyes return to the dark sky he once saw.

"Sammy, Sammy!" he calls his brother.

Samuel finds himself alone in the meadow.

"I know you are here, Lucifer" he shouts out.

Like a thunder he hears his laughter.

"You are the perfect vessel for me, grandson" Lucifer's voice speaks without a face.

Samuel laughs with confidence.

"You think you are going to get my body.

I don't think you know who I am, grandfather" Samuel stands his ground.

"This will be easy,".

Tear gas is thrown into the scene as the hunters invade the ritual.

They spread holy ash through the tear gas and cause the vampires to enter a drowsy state.

They hiss and curse but the Tremblays don't waste time to shoot their guns at the immortals.

Silver bullets tearing through their skin and bringing their immortal life to an end.

Dracula hisses at the trouble the hunters bring.

"Handle it," he orders his men while the ritual continues.

John and Marcel charge at the distracted vampires guarding them.

Elma joins in the action and attacks Dracula's men.

Rachael tries to stay calm in the mayhem.

What is going on?

What is happening to the twins?

These questions wrestle in her mind amidst the violence.

She toggles at her ankle as she tries to pull out a concealed weapon.

A werewolf sets it's eyes on the human and begins to run towards her.

Rachael pulls out the dagger just in time for the werewolf to pounce on her.

It groans and wriggles as Nightmare enters it's chest.

It's hairy skin turns pale and it slowly burns to ashes.

Shock and awe play like twins in Rachael's belly.

Her hands shake with excitement as she carries Nightmare.

Warren Peace still stands beside Byron who watches his pack fight the hunters as their numbers increase.

He pulls out his gun, "Can we contain them?

More of them are coming here," Warren says.

"Weren't you the one that was supposed to make sure that no one came along?" Byron's annoyance is visible to the detective.

"If things don't go as planned, I will kill you myself," Byron threatens.

"Which one is Dracula?" Lucas stands beside Rachael.

He shoots two vampires charging towards them.

Their movements are slower than usual because of the holy ash in the air.

Rachael points towards the altar.

Dracula stands in front of the two witches chanting their spell.

"The eclipse is about to end," Alex points towards the separating moons.

"He isn't like other vampires," Rachael says to her uncle.

Lucas and Kate reload their guns.

They look at each other for a brief moment.

"For Mary," they both say and for the first time Rachael feels the bond between siblings.

They start shooting at the Count and Alex moves out of the way.

Dracula uses his hands to cover himself as the silver bullets tear his cloth.

"Mary!" John shouts as he snaps a man's neck.

Mary starts chanting incantations.

Alex charges towards the vampire but Marcel defends the witch.

"Mademoiselle, you can't do that," he drags his French accent on his tongue.

"Get out of my way, Marcel" Alex orders.

Marcel pushes her backwards.

The two vampires charge at each other.

They exchange blows and shift momentum between themselves.

Marcel tosses Alex onto the ground and puts a firm hand around her neck.

Their fight is interrupted by a werewolf who pounces on Marcel.

The vampire and the werewolf struggle for dominance over the other.

Alex sets her eyes on Rachael.

She charges towards her but John intercepts her attack and smacks her head with a stone.

Rachael stabs a few vampires, sending them to their long awaited graves.

Gabriel struggles against the stone but the force holds him in place.

"Kill the bloody witches," he roars.

Marcus and the rest of his men arrive the scene.

They don't waste time in joining the battle and spraying their bullets at the immortals.

Dracula disarms Lucas and Kate.

They pull out silver daggers and take a stance.

"You will pay for our sister's death, wannabe Dracula" Lucas says.

Lucas pricks at the vampire's pride.

He slaps Kate and jerks Lucas by the neck.

"Your sister? I don't even know who that is.

But you can say hello for me on the other side,".

Lucas plunges his silver dagger into Dracula's chest.

Dracula slams Lucas against the floor and kicks him in the belly.

Kate sprays holy ash on his face and charges with her silver dagger.

He catches her hand and breaks it.

Kate screams in pain and the vampire sinks his teeth into her neck.

She screams as he drinks her blood, putting pressure on her neck.

Rachael shoots Dracula a few rounds on his back.

Dracula drops Kate and turns his attention to Rachael.

He pulls out the dagger in his chest and tosses it to the ground.

"Little McQueen.

Come, let me reunite you with your parents,".
