Chapter Twelve

A clatter and crash sounded through the wood and I stopped.

“Lily, get away from the door,” Calix was instantly behind me. “Get behind the desk and stay there. Someone is here.”

More clatter and yelling voices.

“Lily!” he growled and I was moving.

I hunkered down behind the desk as Calix went to the wall with his old armor, pulling down the sword and axe. He gripped one in each hand, fingers squeezing around the cold metal.

A series of bangs happened and Calix said to me, “Thirty seconds. It takes thirty seconds to get up here from where the others are on the bottom floor.”

It had taken several minutes for us to walk, but then again, the nightwalkers could move at an incredible pace if needed.

“You just have to survive thirty seconds, Lily,” he called to me and shifted his body into a defensive position near the door, just out of its swing radius.

The banging started on the big door in front of us and I crouched further behind the huge desk, only poking my eyes out so I could see what was happening.

Four more bangs and the door splintered open. The three vampires that stood behind it were drenched in blood and gore.

“Cal-eee!” one man sing-songed like Jack Nicholson in ‘The Shining’ when the door swung in. “We heard you got a new mate! Came to see if you’d share again.”

Calix roared a feral sound that made me jump.

“You will not take another of my mates!”

“But I only came to share!” The man grinned, sharp eye teeth stained the same color crimson that dripped from his mouth and down his chin.

“Over my dead body,” Calix growled, shifting his weight to the balls of his bare feet.

“Say please.” The man giggled before he launched himself forward, followed by another of his companions.

Calix was instantly brawling with the two, but I could hardly watch. My eyes were glued instead on the man coming toward me.

“Calix!” I screamed and he turned, seeing the man.

Fury contorted his face and he let out an ear splitting roar as he drew closer to me.

One of the men grabbed his leg and shirt, preventing him from coming toward me and he roared again, but this time in fear.

I was on my own.

Thirty second.

Calix started beating them off with strokes of his sword but they were quickly removed from his hands with the power of the two vampires on top of him. It went down to hand to hand combat and though he was fierce, it was two fists against four. I heard bones cracking as he tried to get free to come to me, but even fury wasn’t enough.

The man was almost to me now, stalking slowly as if he could frighten me to death. Luckily for me, I’d stared the devil in the face before and survived.

“C’mon big man,” I said, standing from my spot behind the desk.

My hands clamped on something cold and metallic and I gripped it fiercely.

“C’mon. Come to show me what a real man-pire can do?” I bounced my eyebrows at him.
