400 Chaos in village- Part 3

Vladimir sensed the girl was alive, and his feet started to walk in the direction of the church. A smile came to form on his lips on sensing someone else's presence, and he noticed a light appear from the back of the tower for a second before it returned to normal. "Absolutely nothing. Take this thing with you," he commanded, jerking his head towards the weapon.

"Yes, Master!"

Turning around, the older vampire said, "We are not here to clean up people's mess, but the demons." He walked towards one of the demons, tapping on his shoulder as if he was asking for direction, "I think it's time to get back home, dear." The demoness's eyes turned wide and she was the next person to splatter down on the ground.

Vladimir picked out a few more demons who were out of line before he and Odin disappeared from the village, leaving the werewolves to continue thrashing and vandalising the place.

Raphael had gone to help the villagers to get to their safety, while Beth hid in the carriage looking outside through the gaps of the window with her heart pounding in her chest.

Beth didn't know how long it would take for the situation to come under control, and she tried to peer outside by getting close to the window to take a better look near the church where the building's walls had broken, and also of the village tower bell. While she was still looking around with her face pressed, suddenly one of the werewolves appeared in front of her face to face on the other side of the window, and Beth stumbled backwards to get away.

In less than a second, the brown werewolf, got hold of the carriage using its enormous strength to push its hands through the door of the carriage. It tried to swipe its hand inside the carriage with its claws out to get the human who was in there.

"Ahh!!" Beth screamed when the werewolf's claw almost grazed her.

Her hands trembled, and she pulled the trigger of the pistol that was given by Raphael, and the bullet hit the wolf's hand. Instead of retracting its hand back, the beast turned even more aggressive and snarled in anger. When she readied herself to pull the trigger again, the werewolf smacked the pistol from her hand which fell to the beast's side.

Beth turned around as quick as she could, trying to see if the side where she was pressed against had a door, but it didn't! Her breath was quick, and she frantically pushed the window of the carriage, to get out as the werewolf appeared to be too adamant to get hold of her.

She started to limp away from the carriage, and the werewolf she had shot started to follow her, by jumping on the carriage and then down before its feet thumped loudly against the ground. Beth huffed for air as she ran as fast as her feet could take her. But seeing the werewolf so close to her, she ended up twisting her ankle, and she fell on the ground.

On the other side, Raphael fought a werewolf with a long branch as the beast tried to kill him not too far away from the carriage. The bullets in the pistol that he had carried had been exhausted. The werewolves eyes filled in rage as it showed its dirty teeth to him, while growling at him. Some of the werewolves had been taken down while some were still in the process of biting and killing people.

The werewolf was strong enough to throw him and he fell near a well. The things he often carried in his robes fell. His eyes fell on the card that Beth had picked up earlier, and he turned it around, ready to put it back in his pocket, but he paused to look at it again.

The card he held was the card of fools, which wrote a person's past, present or future by the mere touch of the person's hand. The usual card had turned to a person in an open casket, and his eyes snapped at where Beth was.

"Lady Elizabeth!" shouted Raphael and on finding the empty carriage, he looked around and saw the pistol that he had given Beth. Picking it up he, he found her not far away from where he stood while one of the werewolves hovered in front of her. Raising his hand he shot at the beast without a stop.

This action was enough to stop the werewolf from charging at Beth and it turned to look at Raphael. The beast started to chase him, and he took it away from the girl, leading it towards the place where the guards threw a large and sturdy net on it, and then another one to capture and stop its movements.

The men had brought many more nets, throwing the nets on the other werewolves temporarily while the beasts tried to free themselves.

"Where are the guns with silver bullets?" shouted one of the guard.

"Put them in the iron cages! We need to capture them alive!" said guard man.

Raphael made his way to where Beth was on the ground, who was huffing for air like there wasn't enough air entering her lungs. Tears streamed her eyes, and the demon looked at her, worried, "Are you alright, Lady Elizabeth? Did you hurt your back?" he asked her as she was sitting on the ground.

He noticed the lower part of her dress had stained red because of blood. Beth pulled her dress weakly, to reveal the bite mark of the werewolf on her leg from where the blood was dripping.
