Chapter 23

Oops!

Of course, it didn't look good, did it? I was tied to a chair and flushed, Gregor had been standing over me, taking advantage of my position. What was Michel supposed to think?

He came towards us like a raging tornado, lost in the swirl of colours, just a funnel of power churning the air before him. He hit Gregor, more than he hit me, but it was enough to tip my chair back with such force that I felt, as well as heard, the loud crack as my forearm broke on my left side. I screamed, but the sound was lost in the battle that raged before me.

I'd landed sideways to the room, on my arm, but facing back towards the kitchen and dining area, right where Michel and Gregor fought. Any attempt to reposition myself, off my broken arm, was excruciating and impossible. I had to contend myself with lying perfectly still and taking short, small breaths in that didn't make me move my shoulders. You've no idea how much of your body moves when you breath, especially when your heart is in your mouth and your breathing is ragged from fear and pain.

All my concentration was on not moving my shoulders, remaining still and taking small breaths, so several minutes had passed before I was able to think coherently and realised that Michel was going to kill Gregor. Gregor was holding his own, I don't think you become the Enforcer for the Iunctio without learning a few tricks. And I'm guessing, some of that power the Iunctio has from my joining and the joining of others like me, was being channelled into Gregor right now, because he shouldn't have been able to fight Michel the way he was.

Michel is perhaps the most powerful vampire alive. If I am the strongest Nosferatin in centuries, which I don't quite yet subscribe to, but it is a little hard to deny, then his power boost on joining with me was the biggest any kindred vampire had ever received. I knew it at the time. The joining with me had more than doubled his original power base, something that hadn't happened before then. Michel had been strong before, now he was a force to be reckoned with.

But, Gregor was holding him off. This was perhaps the most beautiful and yet so frightening thing I had ever seen in my life. Gregor didn't spin like Michel, I think that is peculiar to those kindred vampires who have joined. When Michel fought Max a few weeks ago, they both spun in a dance of twin tornadoes. Splendid in the magnificent light display, dancing a devilish tango. Now Michel spun, sending flashes and spikes of light in a multitude of colours around the room, but Gregor was simply a blur.

Wherever Michel spun to next, Gregor simply vanished. He stayed one step ahead of the storm by a mere fraction of a second. So fast, even with my enhanced vision, I was unable to keep up with the movement.
