Critter Volume 2 Chapter 11

Dayna panicked and grabbed her key from her purse that each employee has to get access from the side door. She continued looking behind her at the men and woman surrounding her. Once she found the key that was buried art the bottom of her big black bag, she ran for the side door. The Sirens watched her run “should we chase her?” Dane asked “NO! She’s not the one we want, but she’ll bring them to us” replied Julia as she stood in front of hundreds of Sirens ready for battle.

When Dayna got inside she hid under the bar that carried the cash register. She got her cell phone out and dialed 911. The call was patched through to the local sheriff’s department; Officer Stackhouse answered “PLEASE JASON YOU NEED TO GET DOWN TO MITCHS BAR AND GRILL IMMEDIATLEY AND BRING HELP!” Dayna then hung up and crawled into the back room where she locked herself in Mitchell’s office.

Officer Stackhouse jumped in his car after hearing Dayna’s plea for help. Her phone was cutting in and out but he was able to hear that she was at Mitch’s bar in trouble. He figured he would give Mitchell a call and let him know. There was no answer on Mitchells phone but he had Laurens number because of all the stuff that has happened to her lately. When he called her phone sent him right to answering machine, so he decided to leave a message “Hey Lauren, sorry to bother you. I just got a call from Dayna down at the bar, she said something about the bar and I’m just gunna go check it out, I only call because Mitchell’s phone wasn’t connecting, Anyway if you see him just let him know to call me, thanks” he said as he drove up to the front parking lot. Dayna’s car was the only one in the lot, next to her car was a torch that was laying on the ground still lite. He left his car and walked over to pick up the torch.

Dayna saw him from the window of Mitchell’s office; she began knocking on the window to draw his attention, until a flame was ignited behind Stackhouse illuminating Julia’s face. “BEHIND YOU!” yelled Julia but it was too late, Julia snapped his neck and watched as his grip on the torch let up. Jason’s body hit the ground as Dayna screamed “NOOOOO! JASON! NO!” Dayna ran to the closet and dug through the closet where she found a handgun, she clenched it and crawled in the closet wiping away her tears.

For the most part the group had been staying awake awaiting the attack. Lena’s house was no longer safe so the group stationed at Tyson’s farm. Clayton was sipping coffee at the table with Kyle and Lauren. Jordan had joined the group since the sun had gone down. He was sitting alone on the staircase. Warren and Kelly sat on the front porch discussing the plan of attack. Rachel was sleeping in her bed, when she shot up from a cold sweat “THEIR HERE!” she yelled as she threw her jean jacket on and ran downstairs “THEIR HERE! I CAN FEEL IT!” no one understood Rachel’s abilities, she somehow could sense that Lena was pregnant and now she was detecting the sirens.

Warren and Kelly ran inside, Lauren shot up from the kitchen table and grabbed her coat, she reached in her pocket and pulled out her phone “I have a voicemail from Jason!” she put it on speakerphone and the group listened “Hey Lauren, sorry to bother you. I just got a call from Dayna down at the bar, she said something about the bar and I’m just gunna go check it out” Warren interrupted the message “LET’S MOVE OUT!” he said as the group rounded up.

Clayton grabbed his daggers and placed them firmly in a belt holder he had laced around his waist. Rachel tied her hair in a pony and zipped up her boots. Warren got in the truck and started the engine. Kelly, Clayton, Rachel, Lauren and Kyle joined in the car. Jordan came up to the car window “meet you guys there” and he disappeared in a cloud of dirt. “Show off” said Warren, he turns his head back to the group “ALRIGHT LET’S GO GET LENA BACK!” the group drove off in the direction of the bar.

Mitchell tried everything, there was no exit. This cave that him and Megan were in was not meant for escaping. Movement on the opposite side of the cave instantly distracted Megan and Mitch. It was happening again, somebody else was coming through. A young teenage boy fell through the cracks and hit the ground. They ran to the boy and looked for any sign of an exit, it was sealed up. Traci had sent this person down here for a reason. “WAKE UP! HEY WAKE UP!” yelled Mitch as he shook the boy. His eyes opened a crack “Where am I?” he asked, “we’re trapped down here, it’s some sort of dungeon, do you know how you got here?” “Got where? What….I……” the boy stuttered and looked into Mitchell’s eyes “Who am I?”.

The group arrived a few hundred yards away from the bar, Jordan met up with the group “there looks to be about a hundred of them, I don’t know if anyone is in the bar but there’s two cars out front, one is a cop car!” says Jordan. Clayton peeks through “that’s Jason’s car!” he whispers “ALRIGHT! Everyone listen!” Warren stands in front of the group “we will surround them, Kyle and Rachel you guys take the right. Lauren and Clayton take the left, Jordan you go from behind and Kelly and I will approach from ahead. There are a lot of them, but between the seven of us, we have a chance! Alright guys let’s go!”

Clayton clenched Kelly’s head in his hands “be careful out there sister! I love you” and everyone was moving to his or her positions. It was just Warren and Kelly standing by the bush line waiting to approach “alright don’t say anything! Follow my lead” Warren walked out and Kelly followed “AAAAAH I SMELL ROTTON FISH!” yelled Julia and the group of Sirens laughed and taunted, “Julia, we can settle this where no one get’s hurt. Give me Lena and we can negotiate” he said “AND HOW TO THE TWO OF YOU MERS EXPECT TO DEFEAT A HUNDRED SIRENS!” Kelly and Warren stood there as Julia gave the first order “GRAB THEM!” as Dane and Wanita began moving in. Jordan flew in faster then light and ripped Wanita’s head off with one tear “THEY DIDN’T COM ALONE FUCK FACE!” he yelled at Julia “Oh so you have a Vampire doing your bidding now!” Clayton also joined the fight when he saw Dane going to grab Kelly. He was running at Dane with his daggers in hand “YOU CAN’T KILL ME WITH A KNIFE FOOL!” yelled Dane as Clayton came through and slit his throat leaving him bleeding out on the ground. Lauren was sending Sirens flying in all directions with her light beams. “OKAY NOW YOU’VE PISSED ME OFF!” yelled Julia “ATTACK! KILL THEM ALL!”.

Kyle and Rachel saw the commotion and joined the fight “C’MON!” yelled Rachel as Kyle began panting and looking into the night sky “GO! I’ll catch up!” he said as Rachel cocked back her handgun and ran into the fight. Kyle ran past her as a cougar, he pounced on a Siren tearing at his throat. Brock approached behind Rachel and shot her in the back sending blood splattering everywhere “YOU RUINED MY BLOUSE! My turn” she said as her torso healed, she fired twice-sending Brock flying on his ass. She grabbed the gun that Brock had and began firing back to back with Kyle by her side.

Lena was tied up on a boat a few yards out from shore near the bar. The Sirens were planning on sacrificing her after they won the battle, as a celebration. She turned her head to see a loose screw from the side of the boat; she used it to rub against the tape on her wrists. She was able to break free and rip the seaweed off her mouth. The first thing she could do is scream “HELP! I’M HERE!”.

The parking lot of Mitchell’s Bar and Grill had now turned into a full-blown battlefield. Warren and Julia were in full combat, throwing themselves around, much like that day in the bar. Warren herd Lena’s screams “KELLY GO! GO GET LENA!” he yelled as he clenched onto Julia’s throat pressed firmly against the gravel lot. Kelly snapped the neck of a Siren and ran off in the direction of Lena. Julia threw Warren to the ground and turned her head at Kelly “DON’T EVEN THINK ABOT YOU LITTLE BITCH! SHE’S MINE! SCOTT GET HER!” she yelled as Warren and Julia continued.

Kelly ran to the water and began shooting out her scales. She could see Lena out in the lake waving. Kelly ran down the dock and out burst her fins. She swam faster then ever before and almost reached the boat when she noticed Scott enter the water. She swam faster but he caught up with her. Scott grabbed her fins and dragged her to the bottom of the lake. Scott’s long knife like finger nails dug into her throat, and he used his sharp legs to dig into her gills to stop the breathing. She began to lose consciousness when her head turned to the right, the anchor that was holding Lena boat in place was laying in the sand and with all her might she grabbed it and swung it as Scott’s skull, causing an instant bleed. She wrapped the chain around his neck and pulled until she heard a crack. She then swam back to the top to get Lena.

Julia was thrown into Dayna’s convertible and smashed through the windshield. Warren was slowly approaching to finish the job. Julia reached around the car for any sort of weapon; she found an ice chipper that Dayna had laying in the back seat. She played dead as Warren came closer. She then lunged at him smacking him unconscious. Warren fell to the floor “Josh, bring me the trident” she said as Warren lay on the ground dozing in and out. Josh appeared with a large golden colored trident and placed it in Julia’s hand.

Kelly and Lena arrived at shore, they came running to the battle scene and by the looks of it, we were winning. There was no sign of Warren or Julia, but Kyle, Jordan, Rachel, Clayton and Lauren were fighting off most of the Sirens. Kelly held firmly to Lena’s hand as they walked up a slight hill, they saw Julia holding the trident over Warrens body “NOO!” yelled Lena and Kelly as they ran to his aid.

Julia saw the girls running in their direction “GOOD! I want you to watch!” she yelled as she drove the trident through Warren’s chest. He shot up from the pain and blood spit out of his mouth.

Lena fell to the ground; a tear had not yet shed. It seemed like a slow motion blur. It couldn’t have actually just happened, Warren was dead. Kelly pushed through the Sirens one by one sending them flying. Julia Watched as Kelly clenched onto his body “NO YOU CAN’T DIE! NO STAY WITH ME!” Warren was barely breathing. He signaled her to bend her head down to his lips “it’s all yours now, it’s up to you to bring the Mermaids back…you’re the Queen now” he whispered. A tear fell from Kelly’s face as she turned to Lena “LENA!!!” she yelled.

Lena became aware of the situation, and she got up and ran to his aid, Kelly met her halfway “you need to say goodbye, he’s dying” said Kelly “no I can’t, he can’t die we’re having a baby! He can’t die!” she said crying deeply “go say goodbye Lena, go” so Lena did just that. Julia stood a few feet away smiling. Lena held his hand “it’s okay hun, you can go now” she new the severity of the wounds “I love you so much! I’m going to raise this baby to be good, and I’m going to protect her with all my heart, and everyday I’m going to tell her that her daddy loved her! YOU HEAR ME! WARREN!” she yelled as his eyes shut. His heart stopped.

By the time the rest of the group noticed, they had finished off most of the Sirens. “LET’S MOVE OUT!” yelled Julia signaling to the remaining Sirens to run. They put up a good fight but they were no match for Lauren and Jordan’s powers and with the help of the rest of them there was no point. Julia got what she wanted, Warren was dead. “GRAB THE BITCH!” yelled Julia as Josh and a few others grabbed Lena and pulled her away from the body. Clayton ran to Kelly’s aid as she sat on the ground next to the body of the man that saved her life multiple times, and she couldn’t save his.

Josh and another Siren has Lena arm by arm, but when they turned the corner Ashley was standing firmly in her tracks with a large gun, she blew Josh’s head clean off and the other Siren jumped onto Ashley and raised his claws into the air, ready to swing, but not before Lena got one last shot in. She held her hand out and picked Ashley up off the floor.

Julia had to get out of there, by this point there were around 10 Sirens left and it finally clicked in that she was loosing. Kelly stood up and saw Julia running towards the lake. She ripped the trident out of Warren’s body “YOU CAN’T RUN BITCH!” and threw it directly through her throat. Killing her instantly. Clayton stood up and stabbed another Siren, Lauren lit one up sending him flying into a tree, Kyle marched over with the arm of a Siren hanging from his jaws, he then shifted back into a person, Rachel held her smoking guns in her hand as she joined the group and Jordan wiped the blood away from his mouth. Together the group stood, Lena and Ashley following behind, Kelly walked towards Lena and gave her Warren’s necklace and placed it firmly into her palm “THIS IS OUR TOWN!” Kelly yelled “WE WILL PROTECT IT!”.

Clayton peered into the backseat of Jason’s car that was parked in the lot. What he saw next, he was not prepared for. Jason was dead, in the backseat. “NO! JASON! NO!!!” he yelled as he fell up against the car in tears. Kelly ran to his side “I’m so sorry Clay, I’m so sorry” she pleaded, “bring him inside” yelled Jordan. The group travelled inside the bar to regroup and tend to their wounds. They covered Warrens body in a blanket.

Clayton sat in a booth with his head down crying, and Kelly sat with her arms around him. Rachel, was wound free, but was patching up a serious cut on Laurens forehead. Jordan sat with Kyle as he placed a bandage over a bleeding wound “don’t get any ideas” said Kyle “I can control myself” he replied. A noise then startled the group, it came from Mitchell’s office. “I’ll go check it out” said Ashley as she raised her gun in the air “you can’t go alone” said Kyle as he joined along side. The two swung the door open and heard another noise from inside the closet. Kyle placed his two fingers on the door handle and slowly creaked it open ‘BANG’ a loud gunshot came through the closet door and went right into Kyle’s chest. Blood splattered on the walls and Dayna sat crouched in the corner of the closet with the gun “I’M SO SORRY! I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS YOU! I’M SO SORRY!”.
