“Well, if you two do that, you’ll protect the others as well.  I could take them, but again I’m not getting involved in the affairs of other people.  I don’t want to, nor do I need to.  I’m an old woman and I would prefer to live my life in solitude than in the throes of battle at this stage of the game,” she said.

I agreed; I didn’t want Gianna to get hurt.  She was an old woman, and I felt like one last move would cause a whole lot of issues for her. She would probably die if the blow was strong enough.  I got up, giving her a hug and looking at her.

“We’ll bate them.  For everyone’s sake,” I stated.

“Good.  Go get them tiger,” she said.  She patted me on the back, and I felt happy. Donte and I readied our two weapons, the both of us nervous about what was going to happen next.  We stepped out of the house, its façade disappearing in front of our faces.  I readied my gun, and Donte had the knife still.  We stared at the two of them, and I could feel the gaze Raphael had, start to grow even more intense.  Ryan looked at me as well with a crazed eye, and I knew at this point, he was long gone.  He wasn’t the Ryan that I knew, and he certainly wasn’t the man that I liked anymore.  I wanted to be with Donte, and this man was just a stepping stone to getting what the hell I wanted.  I wanted to be happy, and I knew that I would be without that man in my life.

I looked at the two men with determination on my face.  This was it, now or never.  I had to do this, and I had to do it right.  One wrong move and the human race was screwed.  We were the last things in the way of the vampires taking over, and if they weren’t stopped now, there was no way they would ever be stopped by anyone.  It was a sad thought, but it was true as well.

“I’m not going to let them stop us,” I said.

“Same here.  It’s our turn to rock,” Donte replied.

The two of us brandished our weapons, our bodies ready to take down these two villains.  It only took one shot, and if I executed this right, everything would be over and we would have saved the day. 

It’s time to rock.
