chapter 51

***    *** 51
  deep in the middle of the forest, in a huge clearing void of trees and bushes, two large armies could be seen at each end of the battle field, they are quite a distance from one another, each one trying their best to spy on the enemy and setup their equipments.
__the kings side 
Blackmoon soldiers gathered into a fine line before the king, clad in their red colored full body armour, and right behind their fine line, stood the blackmoon ordinary residents wearing parts and peaces of armour.
*I don't care if they came with her or not, I'm going home with my daughter at all cost, find her and protect her, or non of you will leave this filed alive!!* The king ordered.
*yes your majesty!..* they saluted.
Standing at the very back, is Brock, he wore a red chest peace armour, his giant axe fixed on his back. He saluted the king then ask
*Tents have been set up but we still need a  forgery tent for weapons repairment, but I noticed we lack the equipments, shall I run back and get them your majesty?*
King Travis glared at Brock *do you have such little faith on your own handmade weapons quality so much that you need to constantly repair them.....*
Brock bowed again *my apologies your majesty, but the werewolves looked to be well prepared with all the new weapons we spyed, so I thought we'd also...*
He was silenced by king Travis *they have new weapons, so what! We have new weapons too, before the fight even began you've already deemed us unprepared, you looked down on your kingdom, on your king the ODACITY! ....just..*
In anger king Travis draw out his blade and aimed it at Brocks head *I shall behead you! You ignorant man!..*
Brock immediately fell on his knees and begged *please your majesty, I made a terrible mistake, I beg your forgiveness...I shouldn't have spoke that..*
The angry king lowered his sword *yes you shouldn't have, get out of my sight before I end you!* Brock bowed and quickly ran away to the farthest tent.       
   
King Travis took a deep breath, he calmed himself, then shouts out as he walk to his grand tent *prepare to win this fight! We attack soon!!...*
     
 __Anthony 
Inside the forest, behind a big tree Anthony and his minions scheme
*let them kill each other, it'll make our work easier..* Anthony stated
 *but what about the princess? I want the princess* the short one, who's name is actually short. Spoke 
*patience, you'll get the princess soon enough* Anthony tisked.
short looked at his axe and smile.
*what about the king and the werewolf boy?* The tall one ask, he's name is bulky.
*the king will take care of the werewolf boy, and I will take care of the king while you ..you will protect me* Anthony explain as he smiles evilly 
__hunter's side 
A big circle was formed, the werewolves sat on the hard forest floor around hunter, who sat in the middle of the circle with safia
*...and keep in mind, this war is not about who wins or lose, it's about our families, our home and our chance of survival, we do this only to end the bloodshed and not to cause more early deaths.
Kong believes we are the enemy, he wants to protect his daughter just like any other father, so today he and his army will do their very best to hurt us, but we will focus on the bloodsuckers and try not to kill as many humans as possible*
*yes alpha!..* the werewolves understood.
And the big circle dissolved. The werewolves started getting into positions as they spyed the other side is about to attack.
*safi are you really really sure about this? It's not too late you can change your mind* hunter spoke as he and safia walked to the back where the archers, fling throwers and high range attackers are getting into position.
*of course I'm very sure, if not why would I even look the part* safia assured
*you certainly look hot..* hunter stated looking at Safia's outfit.
She's clad in black breaches, a white shirt with the long sleeves rolled up to her elbow, hair styled into a power pony tail and feet covered in black boots, with a sword strap to her left and a blazer gun to her right, and Susan's gift, the dragon tooth dagger straps to her tight.
*but safi, please promise me you'll be careful..* hunter spoke in a serious tone.
          
 *I promise I will be careful , so don't worry about me and focus on the fight, don't get distracted because of me*
*okay safi, I will* hunter assured.
     
Arriving at the very back of the battle field, they witness cas distributing more of the Flash, upon noticing them the young boy clad in blue armour approach
*safia, you're the main target tonight so take this with you, it might come handy* cas offered her a the Flash.
     
*thank you cas* she straps it around her neck as it has a rope attached to it, like that of a camera.
*owwn what about me? Won't you give your darling brother a flash...* Hunter pouts
*oh stop with the act, I know you'll just bulldoze your way through them so why waste a flash* cas wave him away.
      
*true ..* hunter chuckles then spoke seriously *I need you to be careful Cas, no matter what occurs stay back here, and don't go facing a bloodsucker...*
*I will try my best* 
*not enough, you need to promise me*
*alright fine, I promise I'll stay back here and off the main battle field* cas gave up and promised.
Making hunter smile, satisfied. Hunter dragged cas into a hug, Malik and safia join in the group hug too while cas complains
*Stop it you're embarrassing me!....*
 ( the werewolves wore no armour for two reasons, first it slows them down interfering with their shift. And second they couldn't afford it, the little they had they made the seniors wear, with them being children and it's their first ever real war.)
                               ***   ***
 
Only a short distance away the two large armies stood facing each other.
Safia and hunter at the very front line while the werewolves, most in their human form lined behind her and hunter. 
Anthony stood at the front line together with the other generals, the blackmoon army lined behind them all fully covered in armour. King Travis then walk to the front covered in a shining gold armour, and one giant sword strap at his sides.
*that bastard! What in The blasphemy he turned my daughter into..* king Travis cursed, referring to Safia's attire *but at least she seems healthy* he later reasoned as he smiles towards her, even thought they're too far to see face expressions.
*he's not well, he has lost far too much weight, he's not been sleeping or eating well and definitely not taking his medicines and still he's .....* Safia tried to hold her pooling tears. her father looks sick and yet he's still adamant on the war.
Hunter reached out and held her hand in comfort.
The smile of seeing his daughter disappeared from king Travis face when hunter held her hand, he nodded his head after putting on the golden helmet, giving Anthony the signal.
Anthony raised his hand high *soldiers!!!...* He shouts out and they respond by drawing out their weapons, and some went to the bloodsuckers cage.
*werewolves!!!..* Malik shouted and immediately the werewolves started shifting while some draw out their weapons.
Both sides shout out 
*attack!..*
The soldiers cut open the iron cages and immediately the bloodsuckers bolted towards the werewolves at a terrifying speed.The humans follow right after them with weapons raised high.
The werewolves weren't slow as they ran towards the bloodsuckers and humans.
As the two large armies grew near arrows and catapult from both sides started flying. Some are hit and most dodged.
And now only a few feet's away from each other a bloodsucker leap up high, general Sam from the werewolves side also took a leap and collided with the bloodsucker mid air. Sam landed on his feet and continue forward as the bloodsucker's bloodied body fell.    
The battle began as both sides collided, loud booms and bangs with the cry of war filled the place, the strong smell of blood being constantly spilled filled the air as both sides gave it their all.
 --   
    
      Anthony grabs a werewolf in he's human form and before the werewolf could blink he felt the tip of Anthony's boot slits he's throat.
       he's friend who saw what happened charge at Anthony full speed. 
     and off to the side jack has slammed a bloodsucker down, before the boney creature stood up jack grabs a poison bomb and shove it into the bloodsuckers mouth, he smiles saying *eat poison sucker* and the bloodsucker exploded in colors.
      but as jack was about to grab another bloodsucker one got him from behind, the bloodsucker drag jack across the floor and was lifting him to it's mouth, before jack could reach for he's daggers Sera appeared 
    she threw an arrow right through the bloodsuckers head, she helped jack up while he ask *what are you doing out here, what about the kids* Sera assured *they're fine*
     jack nods and the two power couple got back to back and start grabbing bloodsuckers left and right.
      as that was happening two Axe wielders are about to face each other, hank from the werewolf's side and Brock from the King's side.
     brock held he's Axe tightly and hank fixed he's sand colored wig, he states the rule *no matter what, don't touch my hair* 
Brock nods  *I won't if you don't touch my face, its my wife's favorite* they both nod, agreeing.
     then they charge towards each other, Brock being larger than hank swang he's Axe down and hank dodged while kicking Brock to the side, and the two Axe holders engage in a serious fight.
     safia has just successfully defended herself from one of the soldiers that her father ordered they take her back, she did not kill him but she injured him, now as she makes her way towards hunter who has been busy throwing people all over the field and breaking their bones, she saw a short man blocking her way.
     he held his dagger and Points it at her, *don't worry princess, I'm not here to take you back home safely, I'm here to kill!..* safia held tightly to her sword *then I'd like to see you try..*
     he charge towards her while she calmly stood her ground, when he reached her he swang he's dagger and she easily dogged while swinging her sword at he's stomach, he manage to dogged.
     he kicked her down and was about to stab her when he saw a flash of light and he went blind, he starts to scream *my eyes my eyes!!* but safia didn't stop there, she slash her sword at he's right eye making him scream even more, she shouted *I know you are one of Anthony's men!* and she slash her sword again, this time at he's leg.
     he cursed as he fell onto one knee *you'll pay for this princess!* safia was about to slash again when another soldier grab her from behind and threw her onto the floor *don't worry short, I got your back!!* 
     Now back to Anthony, he has just finish killing the young werewolf that charges at him, turning he came face to face with ray *hello Antonio..* ray smiled
*it's Anthony!..* he charges at ray full speed.
 
    while that was happening, off from the side uncle malik was holding a soldier down when a bloodsucker suddenly grab the soldier away from uncle malik's grasp and starts to chump down at him.
    uncle malik shouted at the bloodsucker *he's on your side you idiot!* but then malik notice ray and Anthony fighting but one large man holding a sword is sneaking up on ray.
   malik quickly went and tried to stop the large one *what do you think you're doing eh* bulky replied *oh I'm just doing my job, which is protecting my boss* 
*then don't mind when i protect my friend* Malik spoke. *bring it on old man!* Shouted bulky as he charges at Malik.
     
       jack and Sera are sarounded by 3 bloodsuckers, Sera took a laser gun and blast the head of one bloodsucker, while jack swiftly slit the throat of the other with He's dagger, but before they deal with the 3rd one it grabs sera and houl her away, then turns to jack with hungry blank eyes.
      jack grabs he's sword and droped the daggers, he screams *how dare you touch her!* he wildly slash at the bloodsucker, cutting it constantly.
      while Sera who was thrown away by the bloodsucker, went and collided with the soldier who threw safia down moments ago, they both bounce at the hard floor.
     the soldier's head hits the floor hard killing him instantly while Sera's arm seems to be broken, but she got up and rush back to jack.
    As safia got up she faced two hungry bloodsuckers staring her down, she whispers *oh boy...* They both leap towards her at the same time, safia rolled out of their grasp while grabbing the dragon tooth
The senseless bloodsuckers kept clawing towards her as she defends herself with the dragon tooth, as she aims to stab one of the bloodsuckers suddenly the red fire like liquid running through the dragon tooth lighten up bright, at an incredible speed the bright red liquid shot out of the dagger and hits the bloodsucker, immediately the bloodsucker melted
*oh my gosh this dagger is amazing!!! Thank you susan..* safia excitedly spoke, but her wonder and excitement was short lived as the other bloodsucker she almost forgot about, leap towards her.
     
     the two Axe users are coming to a truse as  non was able to hurt the other, hank spoke, panting *i said not to touch my hair* 
Brock replied, equally panting *and I said not to touch my face*  they both shouted 
 *Enough!*
      hank ask *you don't even look like a soldier, so why are you here?* 
Brock replied *its the kings orders*
 hank scuffs *so you humans really accept that peace of blob as your king, can't believe how stupid you all are*
 With a sigh Brock suggest *its complicated..... Then how about we kill some bloodsuckers*
 *yeah let's kill some bloodsuckers* Hank immediately agreed.
     Anthony was Punched and thrown hard on the ground, before he got up ray kicked him in the stomach making him to spit out blood, he then looked down at him and sarcastically spoke *feeling hopeless...Antonio* 
    Anthony screams out while spranging up and charging at ray again *its Anthony!!!* 
     Bulky spoke as he laughs *I really expected more from you, how can you be so week, or well, I guess you're just old*
Getting up Malik calmly spoke
     *I am old but I'm stronger than you, like I said before, I don't want to kill you I'm just trying to protect my Friend*
     Bulky shouted *you werewolves are so annoying!* he angrily swing his sword at malik's head, malik dodged but soon saw bulky's head rolling down on the floor.
    he stood and look behind at who did such a thing
 *oops, I was aiming at Antonio but he dogged and ....seems like he's friend couldn't*
Malik gave a disappointed sigh *but where's the Anthony?* 
*he was just here.. .he's running away! Coward!!...* Ray shouts after Anthony as they spot him trying to run away from the battle field.
   
     safia was pinned down by a bloodsucker, she held her sword forward stopping it from biting off her face, she quickly manage to grab her laser gun, and she shots at the bloodsuckers mouth making its head explode and dropping all the black slimy contest onto her
     she quickly got up but before she could get her footing right the other bloodsucker clawed at her, before its long claws could reach her face two sword blocked it, knocking the bloodsucker back.
     the two people looked at each other, the king spoke *stay away from my daughter you werewolf, I can protect her* 
*can you really?* Spoke back hunter.
--
*gosh...those things are senseless and relentless* Sam complains as he walked towards sera and jack, his pure white hair has turned black red from the blood of others.
*I like your new hair color..* sera joked
Sam smiles and flips the hair over his shoulder *it's natural..* making sera chuckle.
*what happened to your arm sera?* Malik asked as he, ray, Hank and Brock approach
*that bone sucker broke it, but no worries, I punished it properly* jack replied 
        
Looking at Brock Sam asks *and who's that?...*    
*this is Brock, a new friend of mine* Hank reply 
    
 *honour to meet you warriors..* Brock greeted. They nodded and shook hands with him.
*That doesn't look good....* Ray Points towards hunter, king Travis and safia.
--
The bloodsucker jumps towards safia again, and once again the two men kicked it back, together.
*I'm going to kill you hunter March!* The king declares
*it's too late for that, look around you Kong, the war is over* hunter points out calmly.
     
King Travis looked around the battle field, he noticed all of his precious weapons are destroyed except for the one trying it's luck on safia, the blackmoon human army are all dealt with, not killed completely, but more injured than dead and seems to be held captive by the surviving werewolves.
The bloodsucker screech loudly and jumps up again, but only its head landed as the king himself sliced it off. Then he looks around again
*where's Anthony?....* He whispers
*he ran away* came the reply from hunter.
King Travis stares at hunter as he feels a bubbling, boiling anger rose within him *damm you werewolves!!!...* King Travis exploded and swings his large sword at hunter.
Caught off guard by the sudden increase in strength, hunter lost his footing and was thrown down, the king raised his great sword high, ready to descend it into hunter when a cry was heard
*father stop it!!!..* safia shouted at the top of her lungs.
King Travis stopped and looks at safia, finally he dropped the sword and engulfed her in a big hug *my dear daughter ....I'm so sorry, I missed you so so much, have you been eating? Sleeping? This is all my fault, I shouldn't have been so strict, I shouldn't have sent you to the dangeon that night otherwise they wouldn't have succeeded in brainwashing you....*
Safia broke the hug *brainwash? Papa they didn't...* She started
*yes I know I know...I'm sorry, I'm here now and I'll fix everything, I'll take you back home where you belong, where it's safe and decent*
*but papa I....* Safia started again
*it's okay don't worry, I promise I've changed, I won't force you to marry anymore, and I'll change the rules, I'll crown you future queen, you'll handle the politics, the trade and the production, whatever you want my dear*
*No papa you need to stop this...* She was cut again
*yes my child I will, I will stop all of this madness, starting with this son of ###!!..* king Travis leap at hunter but safia quickly held his hand
*father listen!!!...* She screams out.
*alright alright I'll listen, what is it my dear child, tell me your worries* he finally stopped to listen.
                                           
Taking a deep breath safia spoke in a clear and calm voice *it's too late to fix things papa, they can only be stopped and changed, that's what you need to do, that's what I want...
The werewolves, you've misunderstood them all along for all this time, all this fight and hatred it's wrong, papa just hear them out.... and....*
*and what?...*
*and give them... their kingdom back*
     
 The king's laughs *their kingdom back...hahahahahahaha....and who says it's their kingdom , have you lost your mind oh of course you have, they took it...* 
*papa please ...* She held his hands *I understand everything papa, and I'm sorry for the way I behaved while you were just looking out for me, whatever you did you did it for my sake, you did so I can have the life you never had, so I don't suffer in this life....
But papa, it's time to rest, this luxury, this money and fame, this power and royal title, this politics...are hurting us, hurting the people, hurting the werewolves, hurting you and me.
 papa the life of peace and harmony is better than any, it's doesn't matter if you're the king or me the princess, it doesn't matter if the werewolves rule or stays with us within the wall. What matters is we are together, and together we will be happy.... please try to understand papa, please....*
          
As safia emptied her heart out, tears roll down her face. King Travis stayed silent so as everyone, after several moments the king hugs his daughter making them all sigh in relief.
But in a second everything changed. In a speed eyes can't keep up with king Travis moved, he picked up his sword and constantly swings at hunter aiming for a direct kill, and hunter was barely keeping up, he kept on dodging and rolling away but the king is relentless.
Untill hunter couldn't take it anymore, he grabbed the king's hand and harshly pushed him to the ground, he raised his sword high and descend it but stopped just inches away from the king's heart.
He looks towards safia and saw her holding her breath, tears rolling down her eyes and her hands trembling, she is covered with bruises and bloodsucker blood, hunter dropped the sword and starts towards her, leaving the king behind.
                             
     but before he got to her she rushed towards him screaming *father nooo* he couldn't get what that was about, until its too late.
     safia went behind hunter trying to stop her father who has gotten up and has raised he's special red dagger high aiming at hunter's head, 
     the king has already swang the dagger down when safia got in between, making the dagger to pearce through her instead of hunter.
*safiaaaa!!!...* Hunter caught her before she hits the floor, the glistening red dagger stood firm inside her chest, right next to her heart, blood streams out wetting her cloths and hunter's who held her.
The werewolves dashed towards them full speed and king Travis. He stood frozen till when the werewolves reached them and quickly start to help hunter put pressure on the wond, trying to remove the dagger before all the poison seeps into her.
King Travis dropped to his knees, his entire body shaking as tears streams down his face, he looks at his bloodied hands then at his bleeding daughter
*n..n.no.. my safia...my daughter...no...noooo*
He reached out his trembling hands towards her but just an inche away from her, he drops to the floor as a sharp arrow laced with ivy went straight through the king's head, but before he breathed his last, he raised his eyes to see his killer...
 
Through her blurry vision safia could hear several voices all around her but she couldn't make out what they are saying. The immense amount of pain was unbearable but still she tried to speak, she tried to move her hand but just couldn't.
She can see Anthony standing right behind her father, hands in a fist and wrap with a strange looking gauntlet. She tried to warn her father, she tried to signal to him but nothing in her was working, she is paralyzed with pain and her vision is getting darker by the second
Anthony's arrow went straight through her father's head and he ran away into the forest, a single tear ran down her eyes as her vision went completely black, she whispers *papa.....
