Chapter Thirteen

Danielle looked at them with uncertainty. “I’m sure this Victor can’t have gone far, but why do you want him? The more of you there are, the more Jerusa will be drawn to you.”

“We understand the risk,” Shufah said. “We’ll separate as soon as we can, but Victor is a powerful vampire. We’ll need his help if we’re to win this fight.”

“But he’s mad,” Celeste protested. “How’re we supposed to control him?”

“That’ll be up to you, I’m sorry to say. You’re the only one that can separate Victor from the Monster.”

“I don’t like this,” Taos interjected. “This is dangerous enough, without adding to our troubles. He’s powerful, no one is disputing that, but he could turn his wrath upon us rather than the Hunters.”

“We’ll know better once we see him,” Shufah said. “When we part, the Furies shall go one way, Thad, Taos, and Celeste will go another, and if Celeste can bring Victor to the surface, he and I shall take the third path.”

“I’m not sure how long it will take me to track him down,” Danielle said, an edge of irritation in her voice. “I suggest you divide up now. Silvanus won’t be able to hold Jerusa for long. If I’m not back by an hour before dawn, I’m not coming back.”

Without another word, Danielle vanished from their sight.

“Not sure we should put our hope in that one,” Taos said, walking away from the group. “In her mind, this fight is already over.”

Shufah placed a gentle hand on the giant’s lofty shoulder. “The Divine Vampires have never known death before. Now, they’re being hunted to extinction. We’re used to it. For Danielle, it’s an unfamiliar experience.”

“Do you really think we need the Monster?” Celeste asked again.

“Victor might be crazy,” Thad said, his voice rising with a tremble, “but he saved me and Sebastian more than once. He deserves to be a part of this, and not just as an expendable weapon. He deserves to lay his own demons to rest.”

In the unchecked anxiety before battle, their emotions were getting the better of them. If Shufah didn’t cool the atmosphere soon, the inevitable explosion would be devastating to their cause.

“No one is expendable,” Shufah scolded. She looked to each of them and then repeated. “No one. Victor isn’t some blunt axe I mean to swing at our enemies, but he will be a powerful ally if we can convince him to tame the Monster. But even if he can’t, even if he won’t, I still want to hear what Sebastian told him of the human holding Alicia’s spirit.”

Thad and Celeste nodded apologetically toward each other. Taos even clapped the young fledgling on the shoulder.

Shufah turned to Celeste. “The three locations in your vision, where are they, exactly.”

Celeste closed her eyes, recalling the vision. “The first location is in South America,” she spoke in the distant cadence of one who is still dreaming. “The country of Brazil. Just outside a tiny town named Coronel Pilar, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
