Any guys in Georgia or the surrounding states I would love to hear form you. Its always nice to talk to friends close to home. Enjoy the story. The mansion of House Smith was more like a fortress than a house. The perimeter was surrounded by a ten foot high brick wall topped with iron spikes. There were only two gates into the compound, both made of iron and both heavily guarded by men trained to combat vampires. There were snipers stationed in the top floors of the main house. The team knew of the difficulties of infiltrating this massive fortress, but they had help. Walking slowly through the halls Duke Smith's first approached the front door. He walked across the small courtyard to the front gate and spoke to the guards. They never saw the approaching team until it was two late. Their silenced weapons making only slight tapping sounds. Each guard at the gate was dispatched with a single shot to the head. Duke Smith's first remained unharmed. He walked to the small guard shack that contained the controls to the gate and keyed in the proper code. The massive gate opened with a groan. Stepping into the night the accomplice took on another form all together, in a matter of moments Kim stood before them. "Your Grace, shall we proceed into the compound?" Kim asked with a slight bow. "Yes Kim. You disposed of the Duke's first so as to not draw attention?" Will asked. Yes your grace, I left him in his room, lying on the bed. I put into his mind a deep desire to sleep, and on the bed table I left a half used bottle of sleeping pills. He will sleep for many hours." Kim replied. "Good my old friend you have done well as usual." Will exclaimed. "Now let us not keep our friend the Duke waiting." The team of well trained men crept across the compound. Will, Chris and Kim remained just outside of the gate waiting for the team to eliminate the roaming guards. Through his mental link with his men Will knew the moment that his men had finished the first objective and were ready to proceed to the next phase of the plan. Will motioned for Chris and Kim to follow as he began to walk across the front yard to the massive oak doors. Will, Chris and Kim joined the team waiting at the front door. Will looked thoughtful for a moment and said, "Thank you, you have done you jobs well, we must finish from here. Stand guard around the outside of the house. Make sure no one enters or leaves. We will be finished shortly. Come along you two, let's finish out jobs." Will motioned with his hand and the massive oak doors flew open. The three walked inside to be greeted by only silence. "He knows we have come for him, he will be ready for us." Will said softly. "Yes your grace he will be ready, but that will not help him. Tonight he will pay for his stupidity." Kim exclaimed. The entryway was dark and gloomy, the floor was covered in a black marble tile, and the walls were of simple stonework. Large tapestries hung from the walls in the great room ahead, each displayed battles moments in the history of the ancient house. Directly ahead was a massive staircase leading to the second floor. Will led his team up the stairs and down a hallway leading to the east wing of the house. As they turned the corner they were greeted by another hallway leading to the east wing. At the end of this hallway was the door leading to the Duke's chambers. A guard stood before the door, his broadsword drawn, the point resting on the floor. His hand were planted on the hilt, waiting in readiness for the attack he knew was coming. "Is Duke Smith a fool to only protect himself with one guard?" Chris asked. "No my love, this may look like a mere human to you, but he is a dark mage. A very powerful wizard, his fighting abilities are only exceeded by his prowess with a sword." Will explained. "If these wizards are so powerful then why do you not use them to protect yourself?" Chris asked. "They are a creation of evil; they are created from hate and sustained by dark magic. To create such a creature takes much evil, and requires you to damn yourself." Kim explained. They walked forward and stopped a short distance from the waiting mage. "We must pass; you can stand aside or be destroyed. The choice is yours." Will informed him. "You shall not pass as long as I have strength enough to hold this sword in my hand." The mage replied in a raspy voice. "I assumed that would be your answer." Will replied. Will raised his sword and swung at the waiting mage. The mage's sword moved in a blur and blocked the blow effortlessly. Will came back around for another attack which was again easily blocked. The mage spoke softly and incoherently, and then from his free hand threw a fireball at Chris which he dodged easily. Stepping forward Kim and Chris joined Will in the fight. All three struck blow after blow at the mage. His sword moved quickly blocking each blow as it came. Muttering to himself again he took in a deep breath and blew it at Chris who found himself blinded. Chris stumbled backward trying to protect himself. In his mind he could hear Will tell him that it would be alright the blindness would pass shortly. Taking advantage of the momentary confusion the mage stepped toward Chris and began attaching the vulnerable prey. Will in front of Chris and began defending him. The mage effortlessly defended himself from the attack of Will and Kim from behind and in front. Suddenly Will gave a sharp cry of pain and looked down to find a large blood stain on his chest where the mage's sword had cut him. The cut was not fatal but it was painful and the loss of blood would make him weak. Hearing his lover's cry of pain Chris reached out with his mind and saw through Will's eyes the damage inflicted upon him. Chris's anger boiled as he reached out with his mind and struck at the mage. The mage was thrown backward against the wall. He leaped up quickly and began fighting, but Chris was not finished. Chris still in his mental rage formed a sword with his mind and stabbed at the mage. The mage screamed in pain as tried in vain to summon the power to defend his mind against the furry of damage being inflicted. Screaming wildly, blood began flowing out of his eyes, mouth and nose, the mage slumped to the ground dead. Chris fell backwards as his body tried to recover from the mental assault he had just carried out. Will knelt next to Chris and gently held him as he waited for his love to regain consciousness. Chris opened his eyes slowly and asked, "What happened, are you all right?" "I am fine, where did you learn to use your mental powers like that my love? I have never seen anyone who was able to attack a dark mage and survive. You played on his battlefield and defeated him." Will commented. "I heard you cry out in pain and I saw through your mind the wound he had inflicted on you and I knew that he had to be defeated. I created a sword in my mind and began attacking him with it. I don't know how I did it" Chris explained "You are weak my love, you have lost much blood, you cannot continue unless you feed." "I think I will be alright. I have healed the wound, the bleeding has stopped. We must continue before Duke Smith is allowed to escape." Will said. "You cannot face the Duke as weak as you are, feed from me before you go after him." Chris said as he tilted his head to one side. "I cannot feed from you my love, you are weak already. You would only become weaker from the loss of blood." Wills said. "You can and you must, I cannot help you face the Duke, I am too weak already, but for you and Kim to face him you must both be at your peak." Chris pleaded. "He is correct your grace, your wound has cost you much strength. You must feed before you face the Duke, I can feel how weak you are and he will sense it also." Kim explained. Will leaned close to Chris; he kissed him gently on the lips. Moving down to his neck he licked and sucked momentarily before piercing the skin with his razor sharp teeth. Chris tensed momentarily as Will's fangs broke through the skin, but soon relaxed into his lovers arms. Will drank slowly, savoring the taste of his love. Will kept his senses tuned closely to Chris' heart; he did not want to take too much blood. Will withdrew from Chris and licked the two small holes causing them to close quickly. "Do you feel alright my love?" Will asked tenderly. "I'm fine," Chris replied. "No go kick some ass. Your Grace." "Yes, your lordship!" Will responded, bowing deeply. Will and Kim proceeded toward the door. When they approached it, Will stepped up to it and kicked the door in. Walking into the room Will looked about and taunted, "Come out and play your grace." In a sudden burst of speed Duke Smith shot forward from hiding blade at ready. Will easily defended the blow and shoved the Duke to the side. "Your grace, I had no idea you had so much strength in you." "Why have you broken into my house, why have you risked the wrath of the council by breaking the covenant?" Duke Smith spat. "It is you, your grace that have broken the covenant. I know it was you who sent you assassins to kill me. You think me so stupid and disconnected from the world that I would not find out it was you? Well for you mistake you will pay dearly, your life is mine." Will stated. "You think so my prideful friend. Far too long have you set and done nothing. Far to long have you been content to remain second in power while the rest of us are stuck below you. The king is an old fool; he has far outlived his usefulness. His age will not allow him to understand the days we now live in, but he is unreachable as long as you live. Yes, I ordered my men to try and kill you. Since you will not claim the throne for your own then you need to be taken out of the way so a better man can claim power." Duke Smith said. "You think yourself a better man? The words stick in you throat! Duty, honor, and virtue these words mean nothing to scum like you. You desire power so you can be corrupted, and allow corruption. We may be creatures of the night, but that does not mean we must act as creatures of evil. You will be defeated this night, and restitution will be given to me for the transgression you have committed. Will you submit?" Will asked. As a response to Will's demand Duke Smith lunged forward with a jab in and attempt to catch Will unprepared. Kim quickly blocked the move and began fighting back Duke Smith. Will simply stood back and let his trusted friend fight for him. Kim and the duke fought around the room, the duke spending most of his time on the defense, constantly giving up ground to the Kim. All too quickly Kim had the duke in a corner with, pinned. Will stepped over and held the tip of his sword to the duke's chest. "Now your grace, your time has come. You have sowed a might field, it is now time for you great harvest. Applying pressure slowly Will slid the blade into the duke's heart. His screams of agony were deafening as the blade twisted inside his chest cavity. After a few moments of work the duke's heart was nothing more than liquid. The duke still screaming in agony was silenced by a quick cut across this throat severing his vocal cords and arteries. The duke's eyes were wide as the blood, as his life slowly leaked from his body. His destroyed heart would not allow his body to heal, so as his supply of blood leaked onto the floor so did his life. The empty body of Duke Smith slumped forward lifeless. Moments after Duke Smith's body landed on the floor Chris walked slowly through the door into the room. He walked up to Will and hugged him tightly. Breaking from their embrace Will spoke loudly, "On this day I claim all holding of House Smith as my own. Per my right granted me in Article sixteen of the Covenant. All holding, lands, and servants are now under the ownership of House Bradley. These witness, my first and my master at arms, will attest to this day and these events in council at the appointed time. Further more....." Will declaration was interrupted by blood shooting out of Chris's mouth as he doubled over and fell to the floor. Behind him stood the small figure of a boy of about twelve years old holding a dagger. To be continued... Well guys another chapter finished. Again I am sorry about how long this had taken. Please let me know what you think. After all the comments I have received I almost feel like this story is as much yours as it is mine.
