Chapter Twenty-One

Igor waved us to a stop when we were only a few feet away from the door. Raising a hand, he held up three fingers and counted us down. When his final finger lowered, we rushed at the door. Ten Viltarans and twenty robots froze in alarm when the door opened and we boiled inside. Six Robert clones disintegrated before any of our adversaries could react.

Six more robots died beneath our fire then we had to use our vampire strength, speed and agility to dodge their return fire. Scorch marks and gouges scored the table, floor and walls from the rays we sent towards the robots. Ducking to avoid a blast from a droid, I dived beneath the table and shot the robot in the legs. The ray passed harmlessly through a Viltaran who was bellowing orders that no one was listening to.

“Now!” Igor shouted and the rest of our group joined the fray. I wasn’t sure if we or the Viltarans were more surprised when they turned and ran. I doubted alarm was an emotion the grey beings felt very often but they were certainly feeling it now. “After them!” Igor shouted and galvanized us into action.

In the hallway outside the dining room, our prey split up. Their footsteps echoed as they disappeared from sight down different paths. I followed Igor and heard more of my friends at my back while the rest of our group headed in the opposite direction.

They might be several feet taller than us but we were still faster. Rounding a corner, we caught sight of the fleeing Viltaran and raced after him. Throwing glances back over his shoulder, the alien frantically pushed a button on his own version of a control panel on his wrist and a door whisked open. It didn’t lead to a room but to what looked like an elevator hidden within a wall.

Checking to see how close we were, our quarry tripped and sprawled on his face. We were on him before he could scramble into the opening that was only a few short yards away. Like the elevators back home, the door closed automatically after a few seconds.

Luc had landed on the creature’s back and sank his fangs into his neck. Pinning a leg down, I bit right through the Viltaran’s clothes into the tender spot behind his knee. Shrieking in rage and fear, the alien thrashed beneath us. His struggles gradually weakened as his blood was drained.

Almost rancid in taste, his blood was horrible yet it was the most filling substance I’d ingested since becoming the undead. I drank until my stomach was all but sloshing with fluorescent yellow liquid.

Staggering away from the feeding frenzy, I collapsed to my knees, almost wishing I was capable of throwing up. I’d never been this full before but my stomach was flat instead of being distended. Feeling faintly dizzy, I watched my six close friends as they continued to feed. From the sounds of disappointment echoing throughout the halls, the rest of my allies had been unsuccessful in their hunt.
