CHAPTER NINETEEN

CHAPTER NINETEEN

Kyle stood before the Bastil e, hiding in the shadows in that special moment between darkness and light. He knew this would be the time of the changing of the guard, when the night shift vampires would be replaced by the day ones. He knew this would be the moment when they were most vulnerable to attack, and when they would least expect it.

He only needed one entry point. One weak, young, vulnerable, and inexperienced vampire. He could take him out, and get inside. It was a crucial first step. Before he could direct Napoleon and his men in a ful -fledged attack, he needed to do his reconnaissance first. He needed to make sure that the savage seven were stil down there, and he needed to find the angle to set them free.

He watched, and waited.

This was a funny building, the Bastil e, a circular, stone tower that rose right up to the sky. It almost looked like a lighthouse in the center of the city. There were no windows

— just a few iron bars here and there. Kyle spotted the multiple layers of silver bars, and knew why they were there.

Inside, deep underground, lay seven of the most vicious creatures that had walked the planet. He had heard that, in addition to the silver, there was another layer of a special metal instal ed, to contain them. He needed to find out exactly which type of metal it was. Once he did, he would know what he needed to break it.

Kyle saw his opportunity, and moved quick. As the shift changed, one of the guards moved just a little bit slower than the others, on the far side of the building. Kyle crept up behind him, and before he could react, reached up and snapped his neck.

The man col apsed, lifeless, and as he did, Kyle grabbed the key off his waist. It was a long, silver skeleton key, and Kyle turned and opened the lock on the silver door. He could have kicked it down, but he didn’t want to cal attention to himself. He was stil vastly outnumbered, and he didn’t know the extent of their protection and didn’t want to risk a confrontation.

Kyle dragged the body so that it would not be detected, and shut the door behind them.

Kyle turned and surveyed his surroundings. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. The only light that came in came from way up high, through bars high above. It was a circular structure inside as wel , with the corridors shaped in steep circles, rising and fal ing from the top of the tower to the basement. It was al stone.

Kyle headed down. He knew that down there, deep in the bowels of the earth, would be where they were locked up.

As he descended level after level, deeper than he imagined possible, hundreds of feet beneath the earth, final y, the staircase ended in a wal . He knew there had to be something behind it.
