Edward didn't know what he was going to do when more of them came. He fought as hard as he could before, and it was still hard enough that it always broke even. Now there was more..."Bring it on..." Sometimes he hated being stubborn, but that was who he was and who he was for 200 years. He wasn't about to stop now, even if it killed him.
He felt the creatures push him down, and he covered himself, as they dogpiled him. He couldn't let down not for one second.

Ty got down and walked on his own as they neared the alley. What he saw was frightening. Dozens of...things....piling on someone. Edward. He ran towards the scene, swinging the bat among the packs of Hive. He stepped back, ready for a fight. He let out a sharp whistle.
"You want a fight? Come and get it, hairballs..."

A few of the Hive let out yelps, knocked over from sheer surprise. Enraged further, the stricken animals turned on him, the mind connection distracting the rest of the packs. The Hive were at a standstill now, a few of the lower-ranking members confused, and the leaders growling orders. One of the Hive that had been hit by the bat ripped it from Ty's grasp and threw it against a wall so hard it snapped in half.
Pack one reverted back to the mission they had been sent on to begin with, grabbing the bloodied and mangled remains of the teenage boy and running off into the night. The other four packs remained, eyeing Ty, Serena and Edward with agitation.

Serena stopped, and let Ty down not far from where Edward was. She stood next to him until he ran to the scene. "Ty, wait!" Though he already had gotten to the other creatures. Now they stood confused at what just happened and Serena jumped down. She noticed the bat was broken and she grabbed one of his daggers. "Hope you don't mind." Then she threw one straight at the one she was guessing was the leader. Chances were she was wrong.
With that, Serena raced towards Edward and kicked at any of the creatures nearby. She picked Edward up, noticing that they were very close to what she saw. She raced back and said, "Ty, let's get out of here!" She grabbed his hand and started racing off.

Ty was stunned when he found his bat broken. He was more stunned when Serena grabbed one of his daggers and threw it at the creatures. Then, she grabbed his hand.
"No," he said calmly. "I have to get that dagger back. It's my favorite." With that, he slipped out of her grasp, one dagger in hand as he went for the other one.

Quite the opposite of the leader, the Hive she had thrown the dagger at was 54032, a lime-green omega with a tan dorsal stripe. Omegas didn't have the fast reflexes the rest of the pack did, so the dagger lodged itself in his raised neck, killing him. The real leader of pack four, 24020, wasn't happy about that. He let out an angry hawk-screech at Ty as he neared, putting himself in a defensive stance. "Leave alone," 24020 said, voice deeper and more ragged-sounding then 21395's.
Meanwhile, pack one was nearing the lab they called home, mutilated human carcass in tow. 21395 scratched at the door to the storm cellar, carrying a leg in his mouth. His head was held proudly. Surely the master would be pleased with him.

Serena stopped and felt torn between Edward and Ty. She set Edward down across the street and ran back. She stepped in front of Ty, in a defensive stance. "You will not touch him...." She pushed Ty backwards before going for the dagger herself. "Ty, take Edward and GET out of here! I'll get your dagger."
She glared at the creatures in front of her. "I just need one thing...that dagger. Think I could get it and we get away? We're sorry for any trouble we may have caused. I know how he can get himself into unnecessary trouble..."

Ty let out a sigh. "Okay. But take this, just in case. He drew two daggers, handing her one. Then, Ty turned and ran for Edward full speed, though ready to run back and help Serena if necessary. Man, she's protective...
Meanwhile, William opened the door for pack one so they could deliver the meal to their queen. "Nice job. What kept you?"

24020 let out a roar at Serena. "Leave ALONE!" He stepped in front of his fallen subordinate's body, fur bristling. Then, he thought of something. Payback. "Dy..." he murmured. He could see him, even though Ty was going at full speed. The Hives' sight was far superior to anything else on the planet. "Die, Dy!" He launched himself at Ty, just as fast, if not faster, as the gifted human. He sank his sabre fangs into the man's arm.
"Dead man," 21359 said to William, voice muffled by the leg. "Dead man who was not dead." It was the only way the simple creature could think to explain the vampire. He slipped past his master into the lab, the rest of his pack following. They dropped the kill in front of the queen and bowed their heads. The queen was silent, as usual, but nodded to them, indicating a good job. 21359 grinned.

Ty let out a yell as the Hive sank his razor-sharp fangs into his arm. Ty fell, sliding across the ground. Man these things are fast... Ty struggled, flailing and slashing with the dagger to knock the Hive off of him and get to his feet. He looked at his arm. The fangs had left holes in it. Quickly, he grabbed Edward, slinging him over his shoulder, while his other hand went for the pistol he rarely used. He held it on the Hive.
"Vampire," William said sharply."Good work. The others will take care of him."

Serena froze. She didn't realize that they were trying to say Ty's name. She raced towards the body of the dead Hive member, and then raced back towards Ty, swinging both daggers at all the Hive members in her way. She hoped that Edward and Ty were both okay. She yelled out, "Run! I'll be right behind you!"
That shouted, she swung the daggers one last time, before running towards Ty and Edward. Please, be okay, both of you. I can't live without either of you....Please please please...

24020 tumbled over after falling off of Ty, quickly righting himself. He growled. "We have scent now," he growled. "We find you where you go. This not over." He called to the packs, who reluctantly followed him out of the alley, then separated into their respective groups. The packs disappeared into the night, off to feed themselves with... whatever they could find.
21359 was a bit surprised at the sharp tone of William's voice. His ears flattened, and he frowned. "Vaam-piyer," he repeated, finding it hard to get his tongue around the word. He lowered his head and looked up at his master.

Ty held Edward on his back, fighting tears from the pain in his upper arm. He felt the warmth of his own blood rolling down his arm, but his own blood didn't bother him. It was the pain.
He heaved a sigh of relief as the Hive packs took off. "Serena! You okay? We gotta get Edward to safety."
William patted 21359 on the head. "Don't worry about it," he said. "Like I said, nice work."

Serena hissed at the packs as they retreated. Then she heard Ty's voice, and she felt relief. "Yeah, I'm okay. Let's go." She led them to another alleyway and then said, "Set him down." When that was done, she held Edward's face in her hands and said, "Edward? Edward?! Can you hear me?" Tears forced their way down her cheeks again. Softly she said, "What if we were too late?" She couldn't think of what to do when Edward groaned.
"Edward?" She leaned towards him, wiping some tears away.
"S-Serena...I'm glad you're okay...Listen, before I go, I just want you to know...I love you sis..."

Ty set Edward down like he was told. He took his shirt off, tearing it and bandaging his arm with it. He felt tears stinging in his eyes as Edward spoke. "No..." Ty said softly. "It can't end this way...It can't..."
