Part 13

I was in my bed in between Neal and Jason. On my left side Neal laid partly on me. On my right side Jason laid flat. As I pull them close to me and they heal me. Then it happen I got a vision of what was going to happen. I dream vision of this tall slender but muscular vampire with dark eyes blonde hair that was so blonde it was white and it was shoulder lint with dark claw like nails dress in black. He was gathering pieces of a black crystal that was rejoin then frees this God like vampire with dark wings dark eyes that glowed fangs claws that glow and a muscular body from a prison realm. Who used our realm and the black crystal to open others that’s used to open the realm of the vampire Gods who’s freed in our world in doing so the other release and ours are nearly destroy and they rules.4


“Oh my God” I said sitting up.5


“Aaron what’s going on” said Neal?6


“What’s wrong Aaron”? said Jason who was half sleep.7


“We got to get Rocky Shasta and the others now. The world will be destroy if I don’t stop what he’s planning on doing” I said getting dress.8


“What “? said Neal getting dress.9


What the hell is going on Aaron”? said Jason as he begins to got dress also.10


“I tell you on the way.” I said.11


Meanwhile in the Underworld in his lair. The vampire I dream vision whose name is Cortex arrives in the spot where the vampire God who name was Ator at and with victims to feed to him men and women are brought before Ator he sent out lighting like bloats draining their bodies that dries up to nothing.12


“Cortex I want you to get the Dark Crystals. Once they are rejoin I will be free. Once so I will use this realm and others and the Dark crystal to free my kind and take over as the true Gods to all.” He said13


“As you wish my master” said Cortex he and his pack pairs to get the dark crystal peaces using the scroll that he was given.14


Meanwhile in Downtown at the Hunter’s Lair. Rocky and the others met and I told them what I vision.15

16

“So let me get this straight. This vampire you seen plans to free a vampire god using these crystals right” said Jidda?17


“Yes Jidda. I need you Rocky find. All you can on the vampire and the vampire God. And Shasta to get all she can on theses magic black crystals.” I said.18


“On it they are call the Dark Crystals. And has been on display all over beveling to been the jewels of the Egypt vampire God.” said Shasta.19


“Have you found out who is sweaty” said Jidda?20


“That’s Rocky’s job love. I’m just the magic expired” said Shasta.21


“His name is Ator and he was a very powerful vampire God. Who in salve killed feed on humankind. He tried to use the black crystals he name the Dark Crystals after mastering their powers to free his vampire Gods race. But he was stop by a sorcery” said Rocky.22

23

“And let me guess he/she used the Dark Crystal to trap Ator in a realm” said Jason?24

25

“I’m here to help like always. Just because I’m master vampire of the city don’t mean I can’t help Aaron out” said Dave smiling showing his fangs touching my shoulder. 30

31

“He got all the help he needs” said Jason giving Dave a pissed off look after he knocks Dave’s hand off my shoulder.32


“Not now” I said33

34

“I’m afraid we are going to need Dave’s help.” said Rocky
“Rocky’s right. Cortex is a very powerful vampire” said Den as he continues to help Rocky to look up date on the computer on Cortex.35


“And the Dark Crystal pieces are in the muzluns throughout. According to this and it will take more then just us to find them before Cortex.” said Shasta as she locate were the crystals are.36


“Looks like we’re coming alone weather you like it or not Jace” said Dave giving Jason a cocky smile showing his fangs.37

Knowing he can’t beat on his own and to get the Dark Crystals from me Cortex. Goes to fin the only vampire ever who nearly killed me Zanier.174

175

“Why should I help you Cortex”? said Zanier whose burn scared in his face from the holy water I throw in his face three years ago his face is horrible burn pitted, melted away. Only his brown eyes is still whole and alive. His dark long hair hits his shoulder and his face was cover with a Phantom of the Opera like mask that covers his whole face all but his chin and mouth and he dress in all black.176

“Alive and this time I will do more then give you a scare. I will take your life” said Zanier and he attack me I fought him but he was too powerful.185

186

“More than before” said Shasta211


“He could have killed us” said Rocky212


“But he didn’t and want because Aaron is going to kill him first. Because he’s the Hunter” said Neal.213

I sat there thinking back five years ago. When I was just starting on the P.P. became partners with Rocky Shasta and Jason and Dave was still like now is my on and off lover. How on my first big case I had to stop who or what was raping, torching, and murdering men and learn it was Zanier he tried to kill Shasta and Rocky and Jason and tried to make Rocky his new victims. When I saved them and we fought in a final battle and I used a hook join on a chin to stake and pull him in the sun214

“Aaron are you ok?” said Jason as he touch me?215


“I don’t knew if I can beat Zanier this time. Cortex is gone win Jason because I can’t beat Zanier” I said.216

217

“Bullshit Aaron .You are not call the Hunter for nothing. You can and will stop Zanier” said Jason.218


“For once we agree Jason. Don’t give up my Pisa you are the best vampire hunter newcomer and it all of St. Louis. I want nor will anyone else here let you give up Aaron “said Dave.219


“Dam right” said Neal.220


“Thanks guys you are all right let’s. Dew this it’s time to end this shit with Zanier and stop Cortex now” I said.221


The fight is on the for the Dark Crystals and with me and Zanier Cortex and his forces. In the battle I gets two halves of the Dark Crystals cortex the last. 222


“Damic I must get the crystals from the Hunter or Ator will have my ass” said Cortex in a factor were Zanier made his lair.223


“But how he’s too powerful… 224

299

“The time has come to free my peoples” said Ator.300


“You have to get by me. First to do that Ator” I said with my hand sword in hand.301


“As you wish Hunter” said Ator firing energy bloats from his hands and eyes that sent me a cross the lair.302


“Shit” I said as Ator flew at me his fist smashes the wall as he try to hit me and I moved out he way and the battle was on.303


“No one not you Hunter or anyone can stop me this world will belong to the vampire Gods” said Ator glowing and freeing power into the Dark Crystal as it hit sky words realms begins to open and ours shock and rumble I could see another realm slowly opening with more that look like Ator male and female and knew I had to act fast.304


I used my automatic cross bow to fire stakes into Ator and used my rang blade to cut one of his wings off.305


“You shell pay for what you done Hunter” said Ator with stake arrows in his chest stomach left arm and left wing cut off and all bloody firing out his energy bloats that hit the Dark Crystal making a peace break off I loaded on my bow and fire it right in to Ator306


“No no” said Ator as he blows up I race off as the Dark Crystal energy closes the realms making the vampire Gods unable to get free saving all the life of the other realms and ours then hit and it was destroy.307


“Aaron you did again. I knew you could” said Den as I join him and the others.308


“Hay they don’t call me the Hunter for nothing. Now do they” I said.309

Epilogue311

I place peace of the Dark Crystal in my mulzum and Zainder’s mask.312


“Aaron you wanted to talk to me. said Dave?313


“I do Dave. I wish you would not. Did that to Danny. “I said.
“He needed to be punished. He disobey me. And try to kill you” said Dave.314


“Punish yes. That was toricher” I said.315


“He’s my servant and will obey. Me and do as he told. When not he will be punish. As I see he needs to Aaron. This is nothing to do you. Do with respect.” said Dave.316


“The hell if it’s not Dave. You been trying to convince me to let you give me the last marks. To make me your human servant I will not allow that ever. Nor will I every end up like Danny” I said.317

318

“Aaron I will never...319


“No Dave don’t touch me. Just leave” I said as continue I reload by guns and clean my other weapons that I begin replacing on the weapons rack.320


“I love you Aaron. I will never hurt you. Or make you a slave. If you were my human servant you would still have your own control. I will never ever do anything to make you feel I don’t love you .Believe that Aaron” said Dave as I didn’t look at him and he just leaves.
