Chapter 39

“I am Sylvia Scarlet.” The lady in red introduced.  The man in purple was Professor Peter Plum.  The woman in blue was named Lady Peacock.  It was the man in green who would not introduce himself.

“I don’t trust them.” He said.  “Something doesn’t seem right.”

“Well why not?” Neshae asked him.

“I’m thinking you’re pretty quick to go with the sudden change of story.  You seemed pretty determined to stick to it before it was changed.  Now it’s suddenly gone.” The green man told him.

“Well I’m crazy.” Neshae said.

The man in green picked up a candle stick and threw it at Neshae.

Okay, fun’s over.  Neshae thought as he ducked.

A fight broke out.  Dreyfus’s plan had been ruined, for now no one trusted either of the three.  And eventually, Neshae was face to face with Mustard.

Neshae smiled.  He had waited for this moment.  He charged at the military man, temporarily forgetting he had a pistol.

As Neshae got close enough, Mustard pressed the barrel of the gun against the center of his bull’s eye.  Neshae froze for a second, though it seemed so much longer.  He had forgotten about the pistol and now he was going to pay for it.

Dreyfus saw and cried out “Neshae!”

The man pulled the trigger.  Neshae tensed and closed his eyes.  There was a click, but nothing else happened.  Neshae opened his eyes and saw that the man looked surprised as well.  Neshae smiled again and leapt at the man’s neck.

After a moment his wing was tugged and he was forced away from the human.  He turned around to see the man in green, wielding the candle stick once again.  He prepared to hit Neshae with it and take the vampire out for good.

Neshae sighed and drew his fire sword, slicing the candle stick in half as it came to his head.  The man drew back and Neshae stood up.  He dropped the half melted candle stick and ran out the door.

The people were beginning to close in.  Dreyfus stumbled and fell, catching himself on a candle holder bolted into the wall.  The candle holder shifted like a lever and a door opened in the wall.

“Come on!” Dark Dark said and the three went into the secret passage.  They closed the door before the humans could get through.

“We don’t have a lot of time.” Dark Dark said as they ran down the tunnel.  “We have to find the factory and destroy it before we run into any more trouble.

The passage ended at another door.  They opened it and found themselves in another room.  But they saw one person they least expected to find.  Laying bruised, burned, and scarred on a couch was Sir Lewis.
