</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">"Aries!" Luca bit his tongue as the vampire launched himself out of the bathroom and took the hunter down to the floor. His heart was pounding hard after listening to Aries. All he wanted was to protect Luca. If it weren't for their current predicament, he would have very much liked to kiss the vampire. Luca pulled himself together and rushed out the door. The second hunter moved just as Luca did and lunged at him. Luca threw himself forward, just barely missing being tackled. He hit the floor hard and scrambled for his vest that was on the floor not too far from him. He dragged the vest of weapons toward him and pulled two free just as the hunter, Rick, rolled him over with a hard kick to his stomach. <br/>
<br/>
Luca coughed as he was forced over to his back. Rick dropped down over him, his knife connecting with Luca's. Luca strained under the hunter, struggling to keep his blade from being driven down into his chest. Luca shifted, pushing Rick's arm up higher and took advantage of the opening. He thrust his second blade into Rick's side, making sure the weapon went deep. Rick let out a sharp cry of pain and fell off of Luca. Luca took a few deep breaths before he sat up and pulled his vest toward him to get another knife. He stood, anger etched across his face. <br/>
<br/>
"I was chained to a wall for weeks, beat, and my blood taken so those three could make weapons out of it. So yes, I did kill them. And I <i>will</i> kill both of you if you continue. Last warning," Luca snapped. Rick glared at him from where he lay on the floor, blood pooling under his fingers and staining his clothes. Luca doubted the hunter would continue with a wound like that. He looked over to Aries. "You can let him go, Aries."<br/>
<br/>
"Yes, you heard him, vampire. You can let me go now," the hunter said with a snicker and a wicked grin. "Don't worry. I won't hurt your precious human." Luca glared at the man, knowing full well that the words were a lie. His heart lurched as the hunter moved, grabbing a knife and shoving it up at Aries.<br/>
<br/>
"Aries!" Luca couldn't help the cry of fear. He knew Aries was immortal, but it still didn't quell the fear that maybe someday it would suddenly end and he would in fact die.</span>
