Chapter Eight

I heard Akilis calling out for me first, why was he so far away? His voice was muffled like it had been stuffed with tissue at the entrance of his throat. But it was my hands that startled me the most, I felt the smooth floor under my grip. How did I – what happened?

‘Quickly!’ he shouted. ‘We need to go, now!’

What? What was he saying?

I felt his hands grab the sides of my face, and then his face appeared before mine as if it were a mountain with eyes and a nose to match.

‘Get up! We need to go!’

I pushed him aside, as a flaming flash caught my attention behind him amongst the alarming blue emergency lights that spilled into the room. The beast, now free from its shackles had taken hold of the nurse by her neck, it hissed and bit her in the forehead while squeezing her neck. She squirmed under its grip, irritated by her flailing hands he suddenly pulled them off her body as if they were dry branches from a tree. The dangerous ease at which it moved shocked the hearing back into my skull.

Jumping to my feet, I pushed Akilis further aside and saw the trail of bloodied bodies in the laboratory. The female vampire who had successfully survived the transfusion only moments earlier was struggling to break free of the last shackle attached around her ankle.

‘We need to kill it!’ I spat. ‘If we do not do it tonight – it might be worse than what we imagine of the vampires!’

BANG. BANG. BANG. The glass began to crumble, Akilis booted down the window aggressively where the glass shattered to the ground. The beast and the female vampire distracted by our sudden presence stopped in their tracks. It dropped the nurse’s lifeless body to the ground, blood and saliva slurped across its mouth like that of a rabid dog. The eyes, wholly black made it difficult to guess who he was looking at as I tried to get a connection in the hopes of trancing the damned thing to a calm. But that is not what it was doing – the thing – it – was trying to smell me, it hesitated in my direction and then in a motion too fast for human eyes, it flung its head in Akilis’s direction and squealed like a wild pig. Unlike me, it could detect Akilis in seconds and flew across the room at him in full speed. Akilis fired at the beast, but it kept moving – albeit a little slower.

I wrenched the shackle off the hybrid’s ankle from the stone slab. For a moment, as the shackle came loose, she sized
