20 Marked for Death- wait it actually worked..... (1/2)

Just as General White was being pushed into a corner, crisp footfalls could be heard walking into the graveyard.

They seemed to cut through silence and atmosphere like a blade in the dark.

Clap Clap Clap

”I must really commend you for naming yourself Shadow in my presence, ignoring the fact how cringey that is, I don't appreciate you stealing my prey.” declared a young man as he sauntered through the newly risen undead.

The man's presence seemed awfully natural in his surroundings, his dark luscious curls and deep abyss-like eyes gave of the vibe of a ruler of darkness. His hooded cloak obscured the rest of his features as he seemed to walk between light and shadows.

Two horns could barely been seen jutting out of his head, and his clean white teeth would sparkle brightly while he smiled warmly.

He looked as if he were the devil reincarnated.

The young man was of course none other than Lucas Nothstein.

”And to whom do I owe this pleasure?” replied the revenant flashing back an equally twisted smile.

The two gazed at each other as they tried to measure each other out, but to an outsider it could almost be mistaken as two long lost friends gazing at each other once re-united.

”Who I am is irrelevant, I am just a hunter and you are stealing my prey.”

Lucas could see general white looking at both of them, no doubt trying to figure out a way out of the situation.

Nonetheless, the excited look on her face was unmistakeable. She definitely was thinking something wild.

Wait a minute.

She wasn't one of 'them' right.

However that smile...

Yep he was definitely imagining that, no way in hell was she a fujoshi

Yea right....

He turned back to Shadow and continued

”And you see, it extremely pains me when someone lays a hand on my prey.”

Lucas smiled again exposing his white teeth. ”I tend to be extremely unreasonable when in pain.”

Lucas as you might have guessed was extremely pissed.

Juat where the heck did these undead lunatics spring up from. Like there was no warning at all.

For fuck's sake he was sure that information on these lunatics was purposefuly hid from him.

He was happily planning how to brainwash this stupid general and know he is somehow supposed to save her from this freak.

Lucas was never a combat expert. Sure he could handle himself in a fight and easily escape unharmed, but that was it, he was not an expert in fighting.

Psychological warfare on the other hand was exactly his forte.

The revenant replied after pondering a moment ”What exactly do you need from our newest member sir. She is soon going to be one of us. We aren't stealing her, we are just welcoming her into the embrace of our lord.”

Tch..

Bloody lunatic...

”You see, I need her alive at least till the meet. You can do whatever you want with her after that.”

”Well, a nice proposition but I see no reason to do so, moreover I have strict orders to turn her before the meet.” the revenant replied with a hint of regret in his tone.

Lucas nodded in sympathy ”It is indeed true. Mind telling me what do you intend to use her for.

If our goals align we might even come to an agreement”

Lucas was of course bullshitting.

There was no way in hell he was siding with a lunatic who wanted to watch the whole world burn.

(\u003ccough\u003e Vincent \u003ccough\u003e it seems was an exception to this rule.)

He was just staliing for time while preparing and positioning his magic arrrays.

Lucas was always a fan of theatrics.

He was silently placing mirrors all around while preparing to turn himslf into smoke.

When the time came he would annihilate them easily.
