Chapter 8 Into the fray

On Friday evening Marc came round.

"I've been trying to think what is going on" said Marc "Why should anyone or anything scare Spencer like that. It could be a vampire. Sometimes they cannot enter houses unless invited, just like on TV. One tactic then would be to scare you out. Or a werewolf, but they normally only go crazy on one night a month, not two. Or it could be a bogeyman/sack man, though why such a creature should be interested in Spencer I have no idea."

"What about the notes" I asked.

"Yes that is interesting" Said Marc. "I know it's a bit of a coincidence, but I think that is different. I'm not sure whether it's a threat or a warning"

"You said notes - plural. I thought mine was the only note?" Asked Spencer

"No" said Jason "We had one too". They may be directed at Tyler and me rather than you".

"Well that's not an improvement even if it's true" she said.

"So we could be being visited by a vampire or a sack-man or a werewolf and it may be a warning or a threat?" Said Spencer. "Even if I believed you it doesn't get us any closer to stopping any of it".

We sat around talking for a couple of hours before Marc and Arthur decided they should be going. The doorbell rang. I answered the door and was surprised to see the Twins.

"We weren't expecting you" I said "but come in."

"Thanks" said the Twins together. We went into the lounge

I made the introductions.

"We came to warn you all" One of them said "Our old partner Roland is back. He probably wants to hurt us, and maybe anyone associated with us".

"Unfortunately for him, he can't because we are bound". Said the other "He may try to hurt Jason and Tyler because you too are bound, but you aren't vampires, or he may just try to scare you"

"He's certainly done that" Said Spencer.

"Anyway" Said the first "We thought you ought to know. And Marc any time you want to give us Arthur we'd love to take him from you, maybe even turn him"

Jason walked silently into the kitchen.

"Never" said Arthur and Marc together.

"You can't stop us you know" Said one of the twins to Marc.

"No but I can" Said Jason.

He passed my kitchen knives to Arthur, Spencer and I. Spencer had her baton at her waist and got out the pepper spray. We formed a barrier between the twins and Marc and Arthur facing down the Twins.

"We have no quarrel with anyone else here. Just give us Arthur and you can all live long lives in peace."

"NO" we all said together and raised our knives to the twins.

"Very well" Said one of the twins. "We will not fight tonight but we will have our way and neither human nor vampire can stop us".

They turned and left abruptly.

Marc and Arthur were shocked.

"That is unbelievably rude." Said Marc "Vampires just don't do that. I think we should take the threat seriously. The twins are out of order and once I tell my friends what happened here tonight, they will never get any help from Vampires again. It is unbelievably rude to demand a vampire give up his lover"

Arthur was shaking and sat down on the sofa. We all crowded round

"Thank you everyone" he said, "and especially you Jason. You had the foresight to arm everyone. I can't believe you were all ready to fight for me and Marc. Thank you".

"Our pleasure" said Spencer

"Anytime" said Jason taking the knives back, "I sharpened this one for Marc and now I'm defending him with it. How ironic".

"We must go" said Marc "They do not know where I live and they will never know. Arthur is safe there, and also at Spencer's. Apparently, they can only enter a house if invited. You must never invite them in Spencer. You house is a sanctuary for you and for Arthur".

With that Marc helped Arthur to his feet and they left disappearing into the dark.

We locked the door and returned to the living room.

"I think I've had enough I'm going to bed" Said Spencer.

"Yes us too. You OK on the sofa?" Said Jason

"Yes" Though I must go back home tomorrow "I can't just abandon home, not if it's gonna be a safe house for Arthur. I need to prepare".

#

We woke early. Jason's cock was pushing against my bottom.

"Jason stop it" I said

"Shh" He said. "Spencer will hear".

He pushed harder. I got to me knees and took Jason's cock in my mouth. One of his hands was on his cock moving it about in my mouth and the other pushing my head down as I sucked him. He got hold of my hair and pulled me off and stood up. His cock was right in my face. I held it with one hand and started sucking him again. He held my head and pushed his cock into my mouth over and over, fucking my face. He was careful not to push too far, to make me choke, then withdrew. His cock was hard and pointed up almost flat on his tummy. He grabbed it and slapped my face with it. His precum, mixed my spit spread all over my lips and cheeks. He backed off. I wanted to follow to get his cock back in my mouth but he held me back and wanked his cock with me watching. Then he lay down again, and I started sucking him. I felt his hand go to my bottom and first one then too fingers went inside. He spat on his fingers and opened me up even more while I suck him and licked his balls.

He got up, went to the bedside cabinet and put on a condom and lube. Then took a big blob of lube and told me to go on all fours. He lubed my bottom and stood at the side of the bed. He slapped my bottom a couple of times with his cock and entered me, fucking me slowly. I collapsed onto the bed face first and his cock came out with a plop. He lay on my back and started fucking me hard and fast. Then he would slow down and pull out, wank his cock and couple of times and go straight back in. I was in ecstasy. Every time he took his cock out I felt empty, just to be filled again a few seconds later. He pulled me up to be on all fours again and fucked me hard. I was almost cumming but I wanted it to last a bit longer. I got up and he looked at me. I kissed him and pushed him6 on his back. I lubed him up again and sat down on him. Slowly moving my bottom up and down on his cock. He started to fuck me really hard, all I could do was try to stay in place on his cock. Then he tipped me off onto my back, grabbed my ankles and pushed forward. My bum lifted up and he rammed his cock in. He brought his head down and started kissing me.

"Nearly there" he said

I started wanking myself while his cock thrust in and out of me and I felt my cock expand, We both came. My cum went all over my face, chest and tummy. Jason collapsed on me and kissed me.

"That was good" He said "I wanted it rough"

"MMMM" I said and kissed him.

Eventually we separated and just lay there naked on our backs, covered in cum Spencer walked in with 2 cups of coffee.

"You done" she said "you are noisier than my neighbours"

We looked at each other in amazement. She sat on the bed as if we were fully clothed.

"I'm going to work today. I'll see if I can get anything to help against the twins, and I need to go home sack-man or not. Arthur is more important".

She went to the door and looked back at us for a moment

"You really do look sexy you know. If you were straight I'd jump you both" She said, and left.

We got a mail early evening

Tyler,

I have been warned that the twins have found where I sleep. God know's how. We have to get Arthur to Spencer's house as soon as possible. We'll be there at eight pm. Please be there with Jason. Do you think Matt or anyone else might be there too?

Marc

By seven Spencer, Jason and I were assembled at Spencer's house. We had brought Arthur's kevlar and weapons and loads of garlic. Spencer had some police batons, pepper spray, helmets and a couple of riot shields to add to the arsenal.

At eight pm we lined up along the path like a guard of honour. Marc and Arthur arrived with a screech of brakes on a big bike. As soon as the bike stopped, Arthur jumped off and ran down the path, almost diving into Spencer's house. The twins appeared from nowhere. We all stood up straight in defiance. Spencer at the front, Jason and I immediately behind and Marc behind us.

"You are not wanted here" said Spencer. "We are armed and we will fight. You will have to kill us all and you still cannot get at Arthur."

"Very well" said one of the vampires "If that's what you want. We will have Arthur anyway".

"You will not get past me" Said Marc "I will die before you touch him"

"You will die then" Said the other vampire.

All hell let loose as they came forward. Spencer sprayed one of the vampires and I the other. It did not hurt them but stopped them long enough for us to push them back with the shields and Spencer pummeled her vampire with the police baton. The vampire pushed her back roughly. In a rage, I pulled a knife from where it was strapped along my leg and cut one of them deeply.

"Well that settles that argument" said Marc "You and Jason can harm them. That makes things a little more even"

Jason and I drew knives and Spencer picked up her baton again. Every time one of the vampires attacked one person, the two others would close in to avenge the victim. We had the advantage because of the narrow path.

The vampires eventually backed off.

"We'll be back" Said one "Don't make plans to live long. You won't".

We retreated into the house.

"That was close" Said Arthur examining all our bruises.

"Too close" Said Marc. "We need another strategy".

We discussed the battle, and tried to think of things to help.

"I'm going to go over to see Matt" I said. "It doesn't seem fair to involve him, but Arthur's life is at stake".

"No. You can't involve Matt." Said Jason "Delilah is having his child, what will become of them if Matt is hurt or worse."

We finally also decided on a strategy that everyone agreed would work out for the best. Arthur would stay at Spencer's. It that failed, He and Mark would make a run for it. Marc would defend him with his life if necessary. Spencer would stand guard during the night, Jason or Tyler would stand guard during the day. We would add blackout blinds so that Marc could stay if necessary. If the twins returned we would all fight.

Later that night the twins returned. Spencer, Jason and I walked out to face the vampires. Arthur waited just inside the doorway with Marc.

"Go away and we'll spare your lives" Said Spencer

"Hahaha who do you think you are. Van Helsing is dead" Said one of the vampires.

"Van Helsing must have been an amateur" said Spencer and stood her ground.

The vampires attacked. We all drew swords. The blades were black with a deep red line down the middle. Vampire swords, perfectly balanced and we felt they almost had a life of their own. Every time a vampire got close, one of the three blades sliced through flesh. Spencer was fast, countering every move of the vampires with an attack of her own. Jason and I were slower, but more determined and there were two of us. For ten minutes we all fought in silence. Finally the vampires retreated

"So we must deal with you next" said the vampire. They fled the scene

Spencer, Jason and I came back in silence.

"Wow" said Arthur "where did you learn to fight like that?"

"Funny you should say that the sword seems to have a mind of its own" She said "You swing it and it goes to the right place every time. So long as you are there or thereabouts it seems to do the job for you"

Jason and I agreed with her. "Everyone has heard of Elven swords being fantastic, but these vampire swords are even more amazing" I said

Everyone was congratulating each other, except Marc.

"Unfortunately it is too early for congratulations" Said Marc "We should have won that battle, but swords alone will not kill them. We need to fight with swords and stakes, and I don't think that either Spencer or Jason and Tyler can do that"

"We need to separate them and fight two on one" said Arthur "though I have no idea how we can do that".

Marc said he had to go to spread the word amongst the vampires about the twins. Then Jason, Arthur and I tried to sleep while Spencer kept watch. At dawn Spencer slept and I took over the watch. We assumed that we would be more or less safe during the day especially with Arthur and Spencer's arsenal of weapons.

#

The next morning I replaced Spencer on guard. Spencer went into the bedroom and curled up with Arthur. I dressed in the kevlar and did some training with a knife and a stake. If they were going to come, I would be ready. About lunchtime, there was a noise outside. Not loud but not the normal car or people noises. Jason quickly started arming himself and we got ready to fight. I went to the door and Jason stood ready to leap out when I opened it. Everything went to plan, and Jason thought he saw something disappearing round a corner into the back garden. I went back in and checked the house again, then joined Jason on the drive. We went carefully into the back garden and found two men in balaclavas hunched over something. We challenged them and they stood up in surprise. We advanced holding knives out ready to fight.

"Fucking hell I didn't expects Ninjas" said one, searching for a weapon.

The other picked up a branch and both backed away from us. We passed the stuff they were hunched over and it looked like they were preparing a petrol bomb.

"You're gonna regret this" Said Jason and we spread out cutting off any thought that they might run around us. We closed in knives ready

"Let us go" Said one "They made us do it"

"The twins?" I asked

"Yes how the hell did you know tha?t" Said the other.

We rushed forward to meet the two men. The one dropped his branch and fell to the floor. The other stood back against the wall and I approached knife in hand until the knife just touched his chest.

"I want to push this knife forward and make you wish you had never met me" I said, "but that would be wrong. You friend has the right idea you should be squirming at our feet too"

I kicked his knee and he went down immediately holding his leg and wailing in agony.

"How did you get here?" I asked

"We have a car round the corner" one said

"Give me the keys and the registration" I said.

The guy on the floor at Jason's feet handed over the keys to him and told us the registration.

"Strip down to your knickers" I said.

Jason looked at me and laughed. The guys just stared at me in disbelief.

"DO IT". I shouted and poked one with the knife, ripping his hoodie.

The two guys started stripping, obviously very afraid of what we were going to do to them.

"Right" I said "You leave here and I never want to see you again. If I do see you again I'll kill you or worse rape you. You walk away in the opposite direction to your car, which we'll dispose of for you". "If I were you" said Jason "I'd go as far away from here as you can before nightfall. The twins will not be happy with you, and you know what happens to boys who cross the twins"

The two men went white. They had feared us, but at the mention of the twins they realised that their fate could be even worse. We escorted them to the front gate and they ran as fast as they could away from us and disappeared round a cornet at the end of the street.

"Jason, keep you gloves on. I'll get the bike and you follow me in the car" I said

"K" said Jason

I went inside, got the bike keys and two helmets and locked up on the way out. I got on the bike and met Jason at the car. I drove past him, went on to the police station and parked up just out of sight round a corner. Jason parked behind me on a double yellow line, blocking a garage entrance. We dropped the keys down the first drain, and went off on the bike.

Once back at the house we searched everywhere but found only the incendiary and the clothes. We dug a hole in the earth at the back of the house and buried the bottle and the clothes as far down as we could, then went back inside.

Arthur was waking so we told him what had happened. "Ninjas" he said and laughed.

By the time evening came we were all tired.

#

Spencer and Arthur were finishing off a meal of chicken pasta that Arthur had cooked. I was still in bed asleep with Jason. They heard a knocking at the door. Spencer immediately became fearful, but rose, picked up her weapons and went to the door. She looked through the spy hole in the door. No one was there. She unsheathed a sword and gingerly unlocked the door, stepped back and threw the door open. Nothing.

Arthur came to wake us and we started strapping the pieces of kevlar on and strapping weapons to our hips and arms. We followed Spencer to the door.

Then we heard a loud knocking at one of the rear windows and the sound of glass breaking. Spencer was beside herself with fear and Arthur took her hand to reassure her. She stepped out and waited - listening intently. Suddenly she raised her swords above her head and a figure in black dropped down from above. I followed her out with Jason beside me and we fought the vampire, and although it was three on one, this time the vampire was quicker. Every time the vampire attacked one of us we would defend ourselves, but rarely were we able to counterattack. With the twins, Spencer was able to cut the vampires and weaken them, but this time it was different. We fought for what seemed like an age, but was probably a couple or three minutes. We were all slowing down, exhaustion getting the better of us. Spencer pulled a stake from where it was strapped to her thigh and attacked with sword and stake, but whenever she tried to strike the vampire was just as quick to retaliate.

Arthur stepped out onto the path. Spencer was between him and the vampire.

"Wait inside" said Spencer breathlessly.

Arthur retreated but waited just inside the door. He was ready with a sword in one hand and a large knife in the other. Then disappeared inside. For another minute the fight went on Spencer and Jason and I were visibly slowing and having to retreat inch by inch. Slowly we backed up and the vampire advanced, smelling victory. Then a sound above and a crash at the feet of the vampire. The vampire hesitated for just a second, and Spencer jumped forward to go in for the kill. The two figures fell, Spencer on top, still fighting. Spencer still trying to get the stake in the vampire's chest, the vampire trying desperately to prevent her. It was life or death now, the endgame. I ran forward, dived to the side of the two figures and with both hands on the knife's handle plunged my knife into the side of the vampire. Jason stood still in surprise for a moment and then advanced sword held high ready to strike if the vampire escaped. The vampire screamed and for an instance looked at me eye to eye. It was enough time for Spencer to plunge the stake deep into the vampire's chest.

The vampire sighed and realizing it was all over, lay back and waited. A few seconds later, he disintegrated. All that was left was his sword, and clothes. Spencer relaxed and lay prone on top of the vampire's clothes. I rose gingerly.

"Fucking garlic" Jason said "that must have been Arthur - inspired".

Spencer and I were badly bruised and Spencer had a long cut on her arm as well as various smaller cuts. Arthur appeared at the door and helped us and more especially Spencer to her feet.

"That was close" said Spencer "I was almost at the end of my strength. When I realized Arthur was at the door I tried to lure the vampire forward to give Arthur a chance to strike. Then Arthur threw the garlic. I didn't realize he was upstairs. It put the vampire off just long enough - thank god. Another minute and we would all be dead."

"Who was it" Spencer continued "was it one of the twins?

"Maybe" Said Arthur "but why only the one. If he was a twin they are both dead. The fate of the one is shared by the other. It is the rule of being bound"

"Then we are safe" Said Spencer

"No" I said "He didn't look like the twins. He looked directly at me when I put the knife in at the end and I didn't recognize him. I think that was someone, something else. It was probably Roland trying to get vengeance".

"I agree" Said Jason "Although he fought like the twins he was stronger, older. His will was more imposing. Now let's get some of these cuts dressed before we all bleed to death".

Spencer, Jason and I spent the next hour patching Spencer up. Arthur showered first and came out wearing a towel.

"Your turn now" Said Arthur to Spencer "I think you're going to need Tyler's help. You'll just have to pretend he's your mother or something"

Spencer got into the shower with me and I started to wash her, while trying to keep her bandages dry.

"It's difficult to think of you as my mum" said Spencer "She doesn't have a massive hardon".

I laughed and carried on washing her with a flannel. I started to wash Spencer's groin and when I slid my hand between her legs she slapped my bottom so hard she left a hand shaped mark

"Oww" I yelled "Not fair, that hurt".

"Not as much as it will if you don't stop touching me up" said Spencer "We need to be serious and get dry soon. I need to rest".

We rinsed off and got out of the shower. Spencer was obviously in pain and had lost some blood. Arthur put her to bed and went to get her a drink. When he came back. He sat on the bed with us.

"That was close" Said Arthur

"Closer than you can imagine" Said Spencer. "I thought he was going to get me. I hope the twins do not come again. I am in no position to fight either of them never mind both. You will have to rely on the sanctuary of the house. You realize that not all vampires are limited by that don't you. Marc isn't, but apparently and I say that guardedly, they are".

"What do we do if they do come back?" Said Arthur

"Stay here" I said "They may burn the place, stay as long as you can. Provided there is still a doorway you are safe. If that fails you must get inside another friends house, but not mine the twins have been there already. Marc's place relied on being hidden, so that's out too. If they do get you insist on being turned. That way you stay alive. You will eventually be able to take revenge on them".

"Thanks" said Arthur "Not sure about the last bit though".

Spencer smiled. "Vampires are evil" She said "Maybe Marc is an exception, but he saved his friends lives"

"I saved your life" said Arthur

"So you did" said Spencer, and stared at the ceiling deep in thought.

This is a fantasy, entirely fictional. No animals or other entities living, dead or undead were harmed in its making. The only things that suffered are good taste and the English language.

The inspiration for the story was a dream I had after a night drinking absinth, together was a song by the Plain White Ts

I would like to thank you for reading my tale. It is my first attempt at getting a story on nifty, and indeed at writing fiction. I would like your opinion on the story, though it's composition, how it reads, do you believe in the characters, do they come alive for you. It is more important to get that right if I am to carry on writing. I will try to reply to people where applicable.
