35 Escapes (2/2)

On the way out Marcos spotted the guard he made a certain promise to earlier. Before the man could blink Marcos used his sharp nails to rip his head off his neck. He tossed the decapitated head to a laughing Talon who punted it across the yard when they exited the house.

Rounds of gunfire went off but Marcos and Talon fled the property faster than the bullets could be fired. Now it was time to go home and find out what Seb's been hiding by any means necessary...

Seb Pov

Seb knew Marcos was at his wits end. The last few days he has guards searching night and day for Ana. He was proud that they kept coming up empty. The problem was now Marcos was getting desperate.

Marcos had left to see his brother.

Seb had no clue about the dynamics of Marcos's relationship with his brother. Only that it was strained to say the least. Which is why he felt in his gut tonight was the night to get Marie out.

Seb felt Marcos was too edgy and unstable. Marcos had been savagely feeding off the slaves, even killing two by completing draining him. Seb wouldn't let that happen to his sister.

Marie entered his room panting tossing a duffel bag on his bed.

”Okay I packed everything you said as fast as I could. Now what?” she said breathless. Seb sat down his own bag and went into his closet. He opened up a hidden side door inside that contained multiple weapons and money. For at least fifteen years he'd been slowly gathering items bits at a time for this moment.

He started strapping as many knives and guns to his body as he could. Then he turned to Marie and did the same for her. She stood nervously as he put the gun loaded with platinum rounds into her pocket. Marie didn't like guns but Seb forced her to learn to shoot when he trained Ana.

Out of all the guns only three were loaded with platinum. It's not as easy to get away with stealing platinum rounds from vampires that they could die from it.

After they both were all set they stared at each just mentally preparing.

”You ready?” Seb gently asked his brave little sister. She nodded eagerly and flashed a bright smile

”Yes. Let's get the hell out of here and find our Ana” Marie said with a strong voice.

Seb offered a small smile to the tiny girl feeling so proud of her. She was right it was past time to go and find their Ana. He didn't know what he was going to do once he saw her but he knew an apology was the first. Then if she forgave him, he could figure out the rest later. Seb took Marie's tiny hand in his and gave it an encouraging squeeze.

”No matter what happens I'll always protect you. Even if I have to die trying” Seb firmly stated to Marie.

Then he quickly led her out the room into the too quiet halls…
