Chapter 173 - Fight Is On

Tonight was the night. Alyssa wasn't sure how this plan was going to go, but she held onto her optimism.

It made her brave enough to approach the park that she would be walking around for a while. She put her earbuds in, but she didn't turn on any music.

She just wanted to look distracted, like she was taking a walk and listening to music to relax. It was a ploy. This entire thing was.

She hoped that the attacker happened to be tracking her tonight. She didn't know what their schedule was, but she needed them to be free tonight because she wanted to get this over with.

She would feel dumb walking around the walking path surrounding the park for an hour, and then the attacker never showed up.

She had a strong feeling about tonight, though. Unfortunately, she couldn't tell if that strong feeling was a good one or a bad one.

She supposed that she would find out soon. She started her walk, putting one foot in front of the other.

Alyssa wasn't sure exactly where Elias was hiding, but she knew that he was well-hidden and ready to jump to her defense at any moment.

She felt safer knowing that he was close to her, so she walked on, glancing every which way for any strange movements or shadows.

The first fifteen minutes passed by, and Alyssa was already getting impatient and anxious. The more time that passed, the more nervous that she felt for some reason.

She felt like the attacker could jump out at her at any moment. Part of her felt ready to fight, and the other part of her wanted to run back to the loft and hide.

"No!" she cried out, trying to writhe away. If she was bitten, the game was over. She wouldn't stand a chance, and this all would've been for nothing.

Suddenly, the person was yanked back from her.

Alyssa whipped around to see Elias standing next to her. The fight was on.

***************

Alyssa scrambled back as Elias moved closer to the vampire to get a better look at him. She watched with wide eyes, trying to see if she knew who attacked her.

She only had a few guesses in mind, and to her shock, all of them were wrong.

The vampire got to his feet and turned to face Elias with a glare. He was a stocky man with rough stubble and a shaved head. He didn't look familiar at all.

Elias rushed at the vampire, knocking him down to the concrete with a grunt. He hovered over the vampire, trying to pin his arms down as the vampire tried to fight him off.

Alyssa watched with a racing heart, wishing that she could help Elias. She was petrified of him getting hurt, but she also had faith in him.

She believed that he could win this fight. He had to because she didn't know what she would do if he didn't.

They would both be doomed, and that wasn't how she planned to end this night. Tonight was supposed to be the end to the problem, not to their lives.

The vampire shoved his knee up against Elias' stomach, knocking the breath out of him. He grabbed Elias' shoulders and rolled them over so that he was on top.

He dealt a heavy punch to Elias' cheek, making his head snap to the side.

Blood welled up in Elias' mouth, prompting him to spit some out on the sidewalk.

He put his hands up, defending his face as the vampire continued to strike him over and over again.. Each hit made him wince or groan.
