Pieces of bark and splintered wood spun through the air after each shot from the weapons of the Elysium Corporation Infantry ricocheted off the trunks of forest. Arthur kept on running, he’d been nicked in the side and although he was a vampire with a more superhuman attributes didn’t mean he didn’t feel the pain. He turned around still a wall of flashing lights followed by the whizzing of bullets stood behind him, he could hear yelling of Elysium Commanders telling their soldiers to reload and keep on firing. Another painful spike shot through his knee, he was hit once more a silver tipped bullet ripped through cleanly leaving behind a burning sensation which made it harder to run. From the outlook Arthur’s situation seemed hopeless, it was only a matter of time before he would be captured and taken back to the Elysium Laboratories to be the subjects of inhumane experiments on both vampires and a magnitude of other so called ‘Magical beings’. Elysium’s plans with their subjects were obviously unclear to Arthur however it was more than likely it wasn’t to end world hunger or poverty.<br/><br/>Arthur made his way, slowly to the edge of a dry river bank before he slid down the pine needle covered slope. He ripped a peace of his shirt to make a makeshift tourniquet around his wounded knee, putting his head against the bank and looking up the star covered skies with his crimson eyes he accepted what was going to happen, he’d been alive on this planet for long time but now was the end.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Goodnight Arthur my friend, it's been a heck of a ride."</span>
