Chapter 11

As soon as the vampires attacked us, Carlos and Brendan started shooting, one bullet after another, aiming for their hearts. Two vampires screamed in pain as the silver seared their bodies. Of all the elements, silver was best known for its potency against supernaturals. The creatures’ bodies glowed a deep green, then exploded and turned to ash. Two down. Good, I noted to myself, smiling. In the meantime, I had taken out my chakram and another one of my enchanted knives and stabbed the ghastly creatures closest to me with all the force I could muster. That should teach these bastards some manners. But to my disappointment, my weapons didn’t take down the vampires — they only scratched them lightly. These monsters were frighteningly powerful. I immediately regretted not having brought my enchanted silver knife, the one Awen had given me as a present the night before I’d started this assignment.

Kagan had already blasted the vampires with a gust of wind. The blow threw them back a few feet, but they came back, more determined than before. I shouted for Brendan to give Kagan one of his silver-encrusted guns — now we knew for sure silver killed them — but two vampires came at me and blocked my way, their lanky arms swirling around my body. I took a few steps backwards, the vampires’ eyes fixed on me, glowing like eerie red lasers in the night air. I had to push them back, so I blasted a cloud of dust right into their eyes. That would give me some time.

The rest of their gang were not slowing down: One hit Brendan hard in the arm while another went for Carlos, and the others charged at me and the fae. Brendan growled at the vampire before him and fired. He was still in his human form, though the light green color of his eyes wasn’t human at all, and I distinctly felt the pull and song of his magic bubbling inside him.

In the meantime Kagan had blasted a new gust of wind against the vampires, this time using fairy dust. It dizzied them and threw them off balance, but they would soon recover, so we needed to take advantage of the situation — I had to use my magic. There was no other way to beat these monsters. I reached for the magic thread inside my center, calling it. The vibrations of its song caressed my ears and the fire element intensified in me. But I needed a much bigger fireball than usual, so I let the magic build in me for a few more moments. Even if those vampires were coming straight out of hell, which didn’t seem that unlikely at the moment, a huge fireball was bound to destroy them. I glanced at Brendan — he shot one of the vampires in the
