Woof!

Allan didn’t know for how long they where trapped inside the small space only that it ended abruptly. Suddenly the ground under him and Paul gave in and they both fell down through a appearing hole in the floor. Above them Alan could see with his new night vision abilities, a big rock close the hole again. Then his fall was quickly stopped from the ground below him. “Ouw!!!”
The sudden stop with Paul on top of him pressed all of the air out of his lungs instantly. Darn it! That had hurt! For seconds Alan saw only stars. A meek sounding voice above him and the sudden vanishing of a great weight on top of his chest made him a, breath again and b, alert. “Allan? What the fuck did just happen?”

“Paul? Oh fuck, thanks god you’re you again! You freaked out when an earthquake hit the caves.” Alan tried to sit up but failed. Inside of his chest he could feel the rips protest at his movement. Gritting his teeth he managed it with Paul's help together to somewhat sit up, it eased his breathing and soon he could see the concerned eyes of his friend glowing in the dark.

“You gave me quite a shock, you know. Ok again?” The other nodded slowly; Paul was clearly trying to sort through the info given and to ease Alan's hurting body. “Earthquake? That makes sense…” Alan decided to ask the blond later about that, thanks god! The earth had stopped to quake. Above him Paul gnawed on his bottom lip. Gone was the always-cheerful face that he normally wore.

“Sorry man, did I hurt you bad?” Allan shook his head. “Nope, its ok, you got into a kind of shock of sorts. I am not angry, more concerned and worried but not angry.” Sensing that it was better to change the subject he looked around. “Where the fuck are we here anyways?” Paul looked around too. “Somewhere under the old bluff from the looks of it. I would guess inside of the old mine from thee looks of it. Here was a old iron mine once, did you know that?” Allan shook his head again. He hadn’t known that. History never was his strong point in school before. “What do you think? Can we find a way out on our own?” The asked one narrowed his blue eyes for seconds and then gave a slight nod. “Yeah. I know where we are, its not fare from the entrance to the rest of the tunnels. Luckily we have fallen in here, that rock above us would have squished us to vamp mud!” His thump pointed upwards at the rock above their heads.

Allan shuddered and nodded. Paul was right here. With Paul’s help the two got up and in the air in a short among of time. Soon after that they were already on their way out of the caves.

Elsewhere, Samuel Emerson had the ride of his life!

Still clutching onto the unconscious Marko he fell also through a hole under them in the ground just in time to avoid being smashed from the down sliding stone above them! They fell only a meter deep inside of a small tunnel. He acted without thinking and rolled them both fast out of the way of the stone that still slit down next to them. Screeching the stone came to a final stop right next to them buried deeply inside the bottom of the small tunnel. Panting hard the youth tried to gather his wits and counted down his bones.

Marko was still out of all, the youth soon figured that the tunnel was too small to stand; he could barely sit up enough without to bang his head on the upper limit. Around them the quaking slowly ebbed down. He silently thanked god for that. Now he had no longer to worry about that at last! Ignoring the slight pains from his body he finally hoisted up Marko and began to crawl along the tunnel. Dragging the lifeless Marko with him, Sam fast realized two things. First off, he had no clue were they exactly where and next, he had to find a way to wake up Marko. After half an hour it ended into a tunnel with a higher ceiling. And more tunnels leading into the darkness from there.

They were stuck!

From the looks of it, this had once been a natural cave tunnel system. They weren’t that uncommon here in Santa Carla. The ocean had built them into the last thousands of years, carved them out of the stone with time. Sam banged his head at the nearby wall, how was he supposed to find a way out of this maze?! Marko needed help and he didn’t know how to navigate them out of here. Slumping down next to his sire’s body the youth tried his hardest not to cry. Samuel obscured his face between his folded arms and tried to think.

“Woof!”

What was that? The youth thought bewildered. His head shoot up to have a wet tongue suddenly swipe right through his face! “Nanook!” Sam didn’t know if he should cry, laugh or both right now, in the end he did both, firmly grabbing the big husky around the neck, face hiding into thick fur. Said dog looked like he had wadded through mud. Sam didn’t care! He was too glad to see his beloved dog.

A few minutes later he got aware of it that Nanook wasn’t alone. Next to him he saw Thorn looking at them oddly. Before he could stop himself, Sam had grabbed the second dog and hugged the big white dog too. That earned Sam a new swipe of a tongue from the new dog. Nanook currently sniffed at Marko’s body and then at the wound on the head. Samuel was reminded that he still had to get Marko out of these caves!

“Thorn, Nanook!” Both of the dogs abruptly looked up to the youth who currently stood up again and began to pull Marko up with him. “ I have to get him out. Please, search me a way out! Go! Search boys!” The two dogs seemed to have understood Sam, without further ruckus the dogs barked and began to lead the boy and his precious cargo out of the cave labyrinth. It took them a while to reach the mouth of the tunnels. Sam fast understood that they had to be near the old road around the bluffs right at the ocean.

Right to the left of the cave entrance to the old sunken motel. He was amazed how near they where to the others. He quickly scanned the outside. He could make it without problems through the late afternoon sun. But Marko couldn’t. Frantically thinking, he finally came up with a plan. Motioning Thorn near to him he searched his pockets for something to write on. Finding only an old bill he shrugged and took it out. Nor Marko or him had a pen or else on them. Samuel cursed! In the end the youth bit his finger and wrote with the blood a crude, very short message onto the bill. Then he bound it on Thorn’s white collar and did asked the dog to find David. The dog woofed and took of in an amazing speed, as if he sensed that he had to hurry to find the vampire.

Since his former master had found that human woman he had chased Thorn out more often as not. Even had forgotten it twice to feed him, the woman had done that. Often she wore a sad face when he had seen her. Much to the displeasure of Thorn, who slowly got agitated with the older master vampire about that all! To Max luck, Thorn had not found a new vampire that he wanted to serve until now, then Nanook had run over his trail. Searching for his master: Sam. Hell dogs like Thorn had intelligence in them. And free will. Nobody could make them do something without their will, not even David could. They normally served their masters until dead took them from their side. They had great powers to keep them safe. All they required in return was to get their food and the care they needed from them.

They could be summoned from a master vampire and Max had been one of the few lucky to made a successful summoning. In the beginning already, Thorn had sensed that this master would bring him no good but had still staid true to his summoning master until now. But the trust between Max and Thorn was broken too many times in the past, the dog had more then one time played with the thought to search himself a new master…the last occurrences had been the last straw in a longer line of unpleasant happenings in Thorn’s life. He was nearly through with Max, for such a master he did no longer want to stay guard at day or to guard him in general!

Hell dogs had not to stay with their summoner, they could leave them if angered enough.

In Sam, Thorn saw a possible new master for himself. The other vampire he did know too, that one was promising too. And that Sam’s dog was very taken from its master raised Samuel’s worth in the eyes of the hell-dog. David was not to its taste for a master, and the rest of Max childe, well, Thorn thought them to be nuts! He knew that Sam belonged to the woman that was in Max new life, he didn’t take it wrong. It wasn’t her with that Thorn was angry at to begin with it was Max. His master had gone too far this time.

That was why he now played messenger dog for Samuel. That and the friendly behavior the youth half vampire had given him too. That he seemingly cared for his companion too was another plus in Thorn’s way of thinking. Max never cared about others, not even him, his dog, as it seems. The eyes shortly turned red when the dog reached the entrance of the cave motel. Yes, the dog thought, the boy would do better. You just had to look at Nanook to understand it. He had bitten the husky, wanting a companion for longer now. Max had denied Thorn that wish, several times to be exact. Thorn like normal dogs needed a pack to live, without them he starved his own kins attention and all. The big husky had oddly enough, fit the requirements for Thorns wish in an companion. So he had bitten him and waited what would happen.

For the other dog this meant only one thing if he lived through the poison of Thorn’s bite for one night and Thorn didn’t killed it, what Nanook had done. The bitten dog would turn into another hell-dog like Thorn, possessed from a demon creature from hell and beyond. And that exactly had happened the last days, together they had taken down two of Frederic Marsons priced horses already.

Then Nanook found a frail scent that had leaded him to the caves here in search of his chosen master, Sam. The hell-dog could not complain here, from what his new companion had told him so far, the boy would make a good master, and he needed them as it looked. The dog gave a bark like snort, how had he gotten into that tunnels in the first place? Vampires! Thorn didn’t thought that he would ever understand them.

He finally found the seething vampire master of Sam and Marko hitting against the stony walls inside one of the side tunnels in his frustration. It smelled here a lot after the vampires. Maybe their lair, Thorn wasn’t sure, but it also smelled like Marko and Sam…the last was odd! The dog shook it off and barked loudly to get David’s attention. The older vampire squinted his eyes at his bark then he noticed the plain stripe that held the message in place and soon Thorn was freed from it.

David arched a fine brow; no one made Thorn do anything he didn’t wish to do! Not even Max had managed that! And here the dog was and played messenger for Samuel Emerson…he for once decided not to question this and run instead to the mouth of the cave entrance to gauge out how long the sun needed to set. “Seems we worry for nothing here,” He told the others as soon they had followed him to the cave entrance. “Sam has gotten out of that trap and he has Marko with him. They are over there. “ He pointed at the right side of the tunnel outside. “In one of the wild caves there, but Marko is hurt and Sam does not know what’s wrong with him.” His hand ruffled wearily through his short blond hair.

Around him the others stood with relive written over their faces. And worry, Marko hurt was nothing that sat well with them.

“We have to find Pauly and Allan still, David.” Dwayne gave to think over. The older vampire nodded. “Yes, now we know where Marko and Sam are, we have to find the two! Michael, do you sense them?” He remembered that his mate had sensed Samuel before, maybe he had a similarly gift as his childe, Marko had it too. Michael vaguely felt a pull when he thought of the blond vamp and Allan. It was coming from…under him? He told David so, who looked as confused as Michael felt after being told that. Dwayne simply shrugged and went on to try to find a way that maybe would lead under them.

He remembered that old digger tunnels where situated under the old cliff. Maybe the two were somewhere in one of them? He told so much to David and the rest. That made sense to David too who told Star and Michael to stay at the mouth of the motel caves to wait for them. Laddy who had been in the front cave clutched onto Stars skirt all the time. Now he was taken from the ground, lifted up, and then settled onto the side of Michael.

Only a few minutes later Dwayne and David found Paul and Allan coming out of one of the old digger tunnels under the motel. Both looked like shit and where injured. Allan had some broken bones and Paul looked like a ghost, carrying Allan half with him who could not walk alone. When Dwayne tried to take the boy from him Paul shook his head and simply brought the youth himself to the old reception room of the motel. To there lay him down onto one of the old sofas and to plop then down next.

Outside it grew increasingly darker. Soon the last light vanished behind the horizon and as soon as it vanished Dwayne was out of the cave. Samuel nearly wept when he saw the dark vampire suddenly appear next to him and then take Marko out of his arms to fly him back to the cave. Same one groaned slightly, his head hurt and he could hear Sam talk to Dwayne but couldn’t clearly make out the words.

Samuel watched David fuzz over Marko as soon they hit the entrance of the cave. The older vampire was worried, he could easily tell. He did bend down to the tail wiggling Thorn to give the brave dog a fierce hug as thanks for the help. Sam petted him roughly and praised the smart dog all the time what unknowingly brought him raised eyebrows from every one else who knew Thorn. Who, for once did not try to bite Sam’s head of for being touched…the dog looked rather happy of the attention bestowed on him. Nanook didn’t seem to mind his master hugging Thorn; he soon got his chare of Sam’s hugs and praises too.

David shook his head in bewilderment…something was up with that cursed hell-dog. The question here was, what. It looked a hell a lot like the dog was changing its master! He had seen such things happen before and it didn’t wonder him too much. Given the treatment Max gave the beast all the time before and what Thorn could get from Sam if he did choose him instead. He also knew what else that did mean, dogs like Thorn did not simply hop their masters, they normally staid with them until they’re dead.

His sire lost more and more ground and power.

As soon other master vampires would get aware of it that Max had lost his hell hound, they would come and seek Max out and some would even challenge him for his coven if they wanted and had enough power to do so. This was not a good sign! He was too close to get on his own feet now; another master vampire could proof to become a problem for David in the future! His mind supplied him fast with the names and ranking of some David was sure that they would try to do this if given the opportunity.

Two of them he fast canceled out again, too weak to stand a real chance against Max.

Three others made him shift uneasy in his shoes, that three stood an actual chance and if succeeding, they would take over the coven instantly and integral them all into the own ones. What wasn’t a good thing in David’s mind trail of thoughts… two others had own covens too but David had no problem with them or with it to join their ranks.

It where two others that made his neck hairs stand up to no end, that two master vampires where powerfully enough to take down Max and to overtake the coven. And they had no own one. That would mean, David would have to deal with them once he turned a master himself! He couldn’t simply leave them then. One of these two last ones was very old, even more so as Max! He didn’t knew him much but from what David did know, that one was the most possible one in the list that would take down Max first chance given.

He hated Max very guts!

Both had come from the same original coven and hated each other from the very start. Alanthir, that was his name and like Max, he came from times of old. All David did know was that Max was responsible for Alanthir’s covens demise in the past. How and why, David never found out but that his sire had a hand in it that much he did know. Since then, the old one had waited patiently for such an opportunity to happen.

Thorn’s desertion of Max was a clear mark that Max was at his end. Hell dogs did not simply desert their masters! With them went the protecting spell that lay onto their masters with their mere presence since they had been summoned. If a master vampire like Max lost his dog… David tried to store the thought away for later, he had an injured childe to deal with first! He could worry and plan later, together with Marko who knew more as the others about these things.

“He needs to feed, soon! Dwayne, take Paul and get me someone for him to feed on, Michael, take Laddy and Star and go to the back caves, find out how much has crashed down and take no risks! Sam, Allan, “ The two in question looked at him with equally alerted expressions. David was pleased; the two changed rather fast and grew more and more into their little covens lifestyle. Soon the two would fully merge into their new life. “You two stay here with Marko and you Allan, stay put where you are! Got it?” The black haired youth nodded weakly, he could still not move much anyways. David was right; he was better not moving too much.

Allan watched as Paul fly out with Dwayne together, oddly it didn’t piss him off so much that the two went out to get a poor soul to feed Marko with. The other vampire was groaning softly and clutched at Sam who had sat down beside him on the couch. Suddenly all the hairs on his back stood up! A rather chilling feeling told Allan that something was watching them! Sam’s head flew up too and both watched alarmed the two vampires that had just left come back in at full speed.

David gave out a rather loud growl and took stance in front of them all. As if he wanted to shield them from something. Behind them Michael and the others came back out of the tunnels behind them all. Concern and confusion written all over the faces they stopped near Allan and Marko on the couches.

Something just told him that whatever was inside the entrance tunnel now, it was damned powerful!

Sam felt a strange feeling wash over him; it alerted him of the presence of someone near that didn’t belong to the coven at all. He was sure. Instinctively he did bend over Marko on the couch to shield him. His gaze met David’s shortly who snarled just in that moment, then suddenly Paul and Dwayne where back inside the cave and to be found standing before Allan Marko and Sam. All tensed when the figure of a male vampire emerged from the darkness.

Sam’s first impression of the newcomer was, power and age. It hit him like a hammer strike. That the new one had Blond, long hair and that he was tall, that Sam registered much later. He had to recover first from the other feelings. What ever this vampire did search here, David wasn’t strong enough to keep him from taking it. Sam realized, suddenly the tension faded away as fast as it had come. Somehow he knew, the other meant no harm to them, he was merely looking at them.

The green eyes watched them keenly for some moments then they came to rest onto Thorn in front of Marko and Samuel. Said dog was currently snarling dangerously at the other together with Nanook. Sam had the sudden urge to hush the two angry dogs and did touch them with one hand to softly pet them. The two instantly calmed down but kept the newcomer in their view. The blond smiled at the display of affection between the dogs and the half vampire before his eyes gazed at Sam inquiring.

Then he suddenly nodded to himself and walked calmly over to a set of chairs to the side of them all to sit down. Crossing his long legs he silently seemed to valuable each one of them before his gaze went back to Samuel and Marko. Was that an illusion or did he give Sam a smile just now? The youth was confused. “You can help him faster as to feed him, “ he looked Samuel dead on in the eyes. “ You just have to give him a little of your own blood, child. It does the same trick and would work faster on his healing, since you’re his childe.” Sam’s eyes went up to his hairline.

H looked at Marko and then at David. “Is that true?” the older vampire nodded. “Yes, but since I figured you would not want that out of the known points, I instead choose to send the two out for prey.” David shrugged again. Sam gulped then he did something he wouldn’t have done only hours before, holding his wrist at Marko’s mouth he pressed it against the sharp teeth until the skin got bruised. The first drop of blood did the fast trick. A moment later the older vampire had sunk his fangs deeply into Sam’s skin and began to drink intensely. At David’s arched brow the teenager shrugged one shoulder. “Its ok, this time.” David nodded

“You know, it would be better for you to consume some blood too. Besides that you would heal faster it would quench the guild the young one feels for injuring you.” The smooth voice told Allan calmly. Allan and Paul flinched at the same time. Gulping a few times whilst looking at the now openly guilty and worried looking Paul, Allan finally gave in. “But only because of that!” he told the stranger in a hard voice. The scowl firmly in place he gulped again when he saw Paul fast bite into his own wrist and then offer it to him. The first taste of the metallic fluid soon filled his senses out and he stopped first when the wrist was taken away again. The sick feeling afterwards was fast soothed from Paul who had cradled him against his body and held Allan until the nausea died down again. Strangely, after that he fast felt better.

Next to them, Marko stopped soon after. He now had his eyes open and stared the new vampire down with them. One arm holding the slightly dizzy looking Sam, the other was whipping his mouth clean. He had sat up a little and soon he changed fully into a sitting position, with Sam brusque pulled up into his lap. There he secured the still a little dizzy looking teenager into his arms. Marko was still glaring at the stranger in front of them all. Then Marko noticed Thorn at Sam’s feet, eying him together with Nanook warningly. The eyes climbed fully open at the glare he did receive from the two dogs.

He gave David a short, alarmed look. “Yes, exactly! We have got a problem.” The smaller vampire brought his gaze back to the newcomer, a calculating look inside of them. As if he was evaluating the stranger in his crafty mind. He suddenly nodded. “He will do, David. We could hit it worse, and besides he could take us out in a matter of minutes if he wanted. That he hasn’t done that already says it all and you know it.” The older one laid his head to the side. David was thinking the same, and if Marko said it, he could be sure that it was so. His eldest childe had a talent to see these kinds of things. A sort of six sense if you wanted to give it a name.

Beside him Dwayne gave also a nod, he too had finally registered the situation at hand and thought about it. His instinct told him that the old vampire did not want them harm his behavior said it all. Thus that, he actually helped instead to hinder, much difference to the way Max handled things. He didn’t demand, he gave suggestions. He didn’t actually interferer with David's final decisions; he just gave a calm hint. And the newcomer gave off no feeling of harm or aggression, just calm curiosity and confidence in himself.

David unfurled his crossed arms and calmly walked over to the other chair.

Sitting down he gave the other a composed and controlled gaze. “May I ask with what I have earned the interest of an ancient one like you?” The other gave him an amused smile at his choice of words. “Well, actually it is as you expect it to be…does that bother you?” David squinted his eyes for a second. Oh this was bad! Alanthir already knew how bad he and his sire stand with each other. He could tell and besides, it wasn’t exactly a secret in their kin that he never could stand Max. And Max him, more so in the last years even, when he fond out that David had made three own childe, where Max, himself had only David.

Around the two, the others slowly found their own spots to settle. Michael and Star earned a raised brow from the new vampire lord. “Your mates?” His eyes held an awed look inside that calmed David a little. Good, this meant he would not attack them! Maybe he could get them all out of this alive. Alanthir looked at his nod back at the two who held Laddy near to them. He gave the half vampire child a stunningly smile full with warmth and affection that had the little half vampire smile back at him instantly.

This gave David even a little more hope.

“How?” David did not need to know what Alanthir asked, he could tell what he wanted to know with that word alone from the look the ancient had in his eyes. “Max…” He shrugged. « He gave me the choice what to do with him. I choose to keep him like this until he is old enough to join the ranks. All else would be a waste and I hate wastes.” The other nodded slowly at that. Dwayne fast got up again and strode over to Laddy to take him from Star and then he walked over to a empty spot on a couch to settle there with Laddy settled inside of his arms. The vampire watched this with an arched brow. Then he looked back at David. “Your childe are rather protective around each other, that is a good sign…I feared Max had a stronger… influence on you but seemingly I wasted my time.” He sounded pleased. David and the others gave Alanthir a simulate scowl at that. It made the ancient laugh.

“I…heard things.” He gauged David’s reaction carefully to his next words, “For example that you and Max have some…difficulties with each other?” David gave a snort that was the biggest joke of the last century! Of course this also knew Alanthir, to judge from his laughing eyes. He had to give the elder, he had humor enough to amuse even David in a situation like this. Both knew that David would take his childe and leave Max by next given opportunity. Namely, his coming of age in the vampire society and that was it.

“Also I heard that the hell-dog of Max, “ His head nodded at Thorn, “Is about to desert its master. Seems the last was more true then false and a little outdated, eh?” The dog gave an almost human like snort and lay down at Marko’s feet to take a nap. Marko raised a brow at Thorns rather calm act then he shrugged and went his awareness back to the slowly recovering Sam in his lap. The youth currently tried to move to Marko’s side instead of sitting into this embarrassing position. Much to Marko’s unhappiness but Marko let him do so.

Alanthir watched this with amusement, whilst storing the information’s away for later use. He was much older then they all in here put together and all here did know that. Since the day the hunters had destroyed his own coven, Alanthir had searched for a way to have a revenge on Maximilian or better known as Max these days. His eyes turned dark and cold for seconds then they cleared again. It did bring him no good now to think on old times and these young ones in here had nothing to do with that.

David tried to estimate him, Alanthir was sure. How Max had gotten his claws on such a rarity was beyond Alanthir but the younger vampire was clearly a strong and natural leader. A few turns of the seasons more and David would be a master in his own right and a force to recon with. The other was no fool and his choice in his childe only proofed that. He hadn’t known that David was one of the few lucky ones that found at least one of his soul mates…he even had them both! More so, all of his childe were higher vampires and the ones that would be turned when reaching age, would be too…Alanthir could feel that. The older vampire was stunned at that and sure the council would it too, after they found that out. He idly asked himself if Max already knew what he was going to loose and dismissed the thought right again.

It did not matter.

That David's little coven was seemingly growing right now, and weighting out the feelings he had when Alanthir looked at the fledglings and the child, he could barely suppress a jealous spark inside of his soul. Why had Max to find the young one? Fast it got replaced with the urge to laugh, remembering that David would leave him as soon he could. He settled for a snort instead of laughing loudly. This was such a promising young coven and now take a look what Max did do to chase them away from their elder! It was nearly too easy for Alanthir now to take that all from him for himself.

Sure, one as old as Alanthir was it and as powerful, he could have chosen any coven to stay and would be welcome in every one with open arms. He could even form a new one if he wanted…what was time for one as him. The truth was, since his old one got destroyed, Alanthir had walled in misery and hate for Max. He hadn’t even made a new childe…to fresh and raw was the wound still. David reminded him much at himself. And he clearly cared for his childe and all else. His mind was made up.

“Will you fight me?” David tensed along the others at that question. Right to the point, eh? He sourly thought. Warily he looked into the calm eyes of the other. Sitting back again, David rubbed his stubbed chin with one hand in thought. What the other offered was much better as what Max did offer his little growing clan. With the protection and maybe even guidance of an elder like Alanthir his coven could only prosper and grow in power. Also, they would have the protection of a very powerful vampire lord under their kin.

All in all it would be a good thing to have him instead of Max as an elder…but what would one like Alanthir want for that all in return? “I am not sure how to put it…you could go everywhere you want…why us? Because of Max? You know how I feel about him; he isn’t my master for much longer as needed. And the connection between us was severed since a long while. So, what do you want to gain with this?”

Alanthir moved until he was leaning with his arms on his knees. “What do I want, indeed…I take it that you know that your sire has betrayed my coven once?” David gave a sharp nod at that. Marko gasped and Dwayne raised an eyebrow at this news. Paul simply made an even darker face and held Allan more secure to him. The others looked confused and grim at this. Trust it to Max to do such a thing. Sam’s eyes held pity when they gazed up at the blond vampire, somehow he had the feeling this had cost the others childe their lives. He had to hate Max as nothing else.

“He can do nothing other as to destroy others. Just like he did with my family, my mother that he still holds captive and all he ever touches. He can only destroy others, but not build something out of himself. Max always needs others to do that for him.” Sam did burst out before someone could stop him. His face held a hurt grimace and he barely held himself back from crying like a baby. Alanthir’s cool gaze swept over the youth for an instant and softened gradually seeing his own pain mirrored inside the two blue eyes of Sam. He watched the sire of the boy take him into his arms and hold him comfortingly.

Yes, this young coven was more then hopeful!

“What I want is simple, David.” He still watched the couple on the couch while speaking with their leader. “I want to make him pay. That much you do know. I want to take from him what he took from me; only I chose a different path as he did. Your coven is still not strong enough to survive alone and we both know this. You need an elder and with Max out of the picture, many will try to gain his good hunting grounds. I don’t want them as in such I own more then enough, what I want is the knowledge later, that he is roaring in anger when he is in hell and on his way there!” He turned around again to face the now uneasy looking David.

“What I want to do is merely to make an offer, made on you. Will you listen?” David gave a reluctant nod, he was curios what Alanthir wanted to offer where he could have taken all easily instead. “I would like to have the position of an elder into your coven, young one, nothing more and nothing less. Could you live with that and to be under my rule?” It was so still inside the cave you could hear the ocean outside clearly!

After a short while David finally nodded, a grin slowly spreading over his face. “I think we can manage that.” He told the elder with a sly smile that made both grin. David knew fully well that Alanthir would make sure that Max knew of this before he did chase him away. The elder would take over all of Max property and also Max current coven. What in truth was David’s and later, when David grew over 500 years old, Alanthir would take Max normally rightful place as the covens elder with the agreement of the pack and leader.

Both would gain in rank and other in this and could only profitable from this union. And both did know that. Alanthir would gain his revenge, David and his pack their freedom of Max, and that Lucy Emerson would be free from her abusive wanebe husband for eternity. David could even live with it to have her join his little clan if needed. From the looks of it, it could also be that Alanthir would simply take her in. both ways suited David just fine. She wasn’t the treat here, never had been and Michael and Sammy would be happier then.

And to think of it that all of this would happen only because one hell dog, currently laying snoring at Sam’s feet, had chosen to search himself a new master!

Nanook rounded it up right that moment David mused about that.
“Woof!”
