Chapter 3
A sudden pain strikes Liam. His connection to Moon is severed. “No!” He shouts as he stops dead in his tracks. Liam gives a roar of disbelief and pain. “I will kill every last one of them! I will send them all to Hell!” Liam tightens his grip on his weapon.”I will not believe she is dead until I see her body for myself.” He tells himself. Liam harnesses his anger and hatred turning it into his strength. He continues on to the last place he sensed Moon, the cliffs. He pities the first Slayer he runs into.
Liam arrives at the cliffs. He see's a slayer standing near the edge of the cliff. Moon is nowhere in sight. The Slayer turns and studies Liam gripping a blade at his side. “The way you came charging in you must be the females mate. A fool rushing to his death." The Slayer says with a sly grin.
Liam grips his long sword tightly and snarls.”The fool would be you, a lone Slayer standing at the last place I felt her presence.“ Where is she? Answer me now!” Liam demands as he draws his weapon.
“The woman is over there.“ He points toward the cliff's edge. “But she has two silver arrows in her and fell. My comrades are in hot pursuit betting on who will take her head.” He grins. “Perhaps they have already sent her to hell.“ The Slayer tells Liam trying to antagonize him into losing his composure. Liam’s eyes are like daggers as he stares at the man watching his every move.
“If she is dead, none of you will ever leave this land alive,”
This man is a sword user. It will be a one on one fight to the death, he must end this quickly so he can find and rescue Moon. The two men stand on the cliff watching each other looking for an opening. Liam charges, the man stands his ground defensively. Liam fakes to the right then cuts left slashing at the man. The man deflects his blow, then slashes. Liam swings his blade to block, pulling out his second blade. The two men circle each other, evenly matched. A sudden roar comes from under the cliff, the man turns his head toward the cliff. An opening! Liam slashes with the long sword catching the slayer on the side. The Slayer reels in pain as Liam grabs him by the neck pulling his blade across his throat sending a spray of blood across the ground. “Your comrades will follow soon.” Whispering in the dying man's ear. As the man's heart beats its last Liam lets the man slip to the ground. Now he must track the other's and find Moon.
At the bottom of the cliff, Moon lies unconscious. The fall was not enough to kill her, but it did cause some damage. Her vampiric abilities can heal the damage from the fall, but she can not withstand the agony from the burning silver. She is not in good shape and at the mercy of the Slayers if they reach her. Moon groans in agony, she can smell what seems to be the water not more than 30 feet from her. Has she reached the lake? She tries to move but neither her arms nor her legs respond. She feels as if her whole body is set on fire.
The burning from the arrows is more than she can handle. Crying out in agony she grabs at the wounds. ”Oh by the Goddess please make it stop!” She passes out from pain. Moon feels wetness on her face. "Is it rain? Oh if only the rain can quench the fire from within my wounds? She opens her eyes slowly, a blur of glistening white fills her vision, she knows those large black eyes and diamond like sparkling scales. ”Mist?” She says as she looks up at the serpent nuzzling her.

Good read. I tried to upvote the other two chapters, but it wouldn't let me, I guess because it passed the 7 day payout.
