let go of the little girl
and lunged for him. By the look on her face it was evident that if
the chain hadn’t been there, she probably would have done him as
much damage as she could. Kaine could hardly believe what he was
seeing; the woman’s rage was unlike any rage he had ever seen
before in a human. Somehow she was different—fearless with no
regard for her own safety.
     
    Kaine could see that, just for a second,
Lance was glad that the chain was still around her leg. The
vampires above saw too, and started laughing at him.
     
    Lance felt embarrassed. ‘How dare she
challenge me!’ he thought as he leant down and grabbed the chain.
He pulled it so hard that the shackle dug deep into the woman’s
flesh. The woman screamed in agony. Seeing the effect, he then
hoisted it high in the air and quickly snatched it backwards to
cause her even more pain. She fell to the floor and lay there
screaming, her ankle spewing blood onto the ground beneath her.
     
    Kaine looked at Lance disapprovingly, and
then allowed his gaze to be raised up to the vampires who were
cheering above.
     
    Kaine tore the chain from Lance’s grasp, and
stood between him and the injured woman. ‘No more,’ he said simply,
glaring at Lance.
     
    The vampires above were screaming down at him
disapprovingly. One of them even spat at Kaine and then another
threw a huge rock, which bounced and landed inches away from him
and then rolled past his feet.
     
    Ignoring it, Kaine narrowed his eyes and
said, ‘Lance you are pathetic picking on someone who can’t begin to
fight back. Why don’t you fight me instead?’ Kaine pointed to his
own chin. ‘Go on. I will give you the first few punches.’
     
    Lance knew what would happen if he did fight
Kaine though, and knew it would be an unfair fight from the first
throw of the fist. There was no doubt that Kaine would kill him.
The rumors about him in battle were enough to dissuade him from
even trying, so he bowed his head and stepped aside. It was a
vampire’s way to step out of a duel, but if he did, he would be
shamed forever for doing so. With all the hundreds of vampires
above that were glaring down at him with intense hostility, he knew
it definitely would be forever too.
     
    ‘Lance!’ Rex shouted down at him. ‘Do you
know what time it is, by the way? Because I have a surprise for
you.’
     
    Lance was confused. He knew it must be a
trick question, and with his limited intelligence he was going to
have to be very careful about how he answered it.
     
    ‘Yes I do,’ he said warily as he looked down
at his watch that was encrusted with diamonds. ‘It’s just turning
12pm.’
     
    ‘Aha. Then—everyone, it’s time,’ Rex
chortled. He looked across at a guard to his far left and nodded
once.
     
    Suddenly a three-meter-length spear was
hurled through the air and hit its target perfectly. The spear went
straight through Lance’s leg just above the kneecap, before burying
itself deep into the dirt on the other side. Lance let out a huge
roar, and nearly passed out from the severe pain. Leaning down, he
desperately grabbed at the wooden shaft and tried to snap it in
two. He was surprised to find that he couldn’t; his normal powers
had faded from within. Then suddenly a hidden doorway opened
beneath Rex and four guards ran out carrying a huge steel net. The
evil leader nodded to them and they launched it into the air. Then
it came down on top of Lance and crashed to the ground all around
him.
     
    Without warning, the woman and girl began
screaming and clutching their faces. Kaine had no idea what was
going on, but by the deeply worried expressions that were on the
guard’s faces, he knew that it wasn’t good whatever it was. The
guards then turned and fled towards the exits.
     
    Reaching the doors, the fleeing guards found
they had been locked in like everyone else. Shocked, they turned to
look at Rex high above, and then when they were met with a
stone-cold stare, in desperation they
