Monsters run and hide

I had hoped the screaming would tip off Caius but he did not run over to be the hero again. Instead they continued to smirk as one ripped me into a standing position by my hair, my eyes wanted to tear up but nothing happened. My chest sobbed uselessly as he held me a few inches off the ground. He was a tall boy, could have been two feet taller than me, his eyes looked glassy in the street lights, like two small milky orbs.

"I can't see the damn thing....but I can sure as hell smell it." He growled to the others and they smirked. There was a furious growl and a quick movement, one of the others that had been standing around the huge one was being held captive around the neck by Caius.

"Release her, or I break his neck." there was no doubt in my mind that he would. I watched the other boy look frantically around for Bryce but he seemed to be nowhere in sight. The large one dropped me, and once again I landed hard on my ass.

"You won't win, you monster." he growled at Caius, as i hurried to back away from him, not bothering to stand up.

"I have no intentions of fighting you, Ben. I have orders too, and I need her alive for that." Caius said releasing the small one he had just held hostage, the big one laughed at that and shook his head.

"This one won't last that long, she is too....human to be like you." he growled and stared off blankly. Caius moved quickly to grab me under the arms, he genlty pulled me to my feet and glared at him.

"A blind pup should have been killed at birth...but you are still alive aren't you, Ben?" Ben's face hardened and the other two glared at Caius. "Goodnight, pups."

"She is not what you expect, she has always been different." a bloody Bryce said appearing at Ben's elbow. Caius pushed me behind himself and smirked at him.

"Then she would be perfect for my family. Give my condolences to Lyun....for having such a pathetic search force." Caius turned and dragged me away. I looked up to see Bryce staring at me with such loss in his eyes, before the eyes went dark as he stepped back into the shadows.
