An Ancient Relique's

Counterback

"Stop! Enough's enough!"

Ryan's voice sounded out loud to stop Nirvana's actions. "You've proven to everyone that you're the rightful owner of the relic. Let go of my father, I beg with humility. My Lord!"

Ryan bowed respectfully followed by another no exception Rachel. Nirvana stared at them one by one without letting go of Cezar. Slowly but surely Cezar's body was lowered. Cezar's irritated face was clearly visible when all the vampires including the four elders bowed to Nirvana. Darren smiled with satisfaction, he lowered his final respect while staring lovingly at his wife.

Nirvana gracefully stepped closer to Cezar who was bowed down in annoyance. "You still doubt me?"

Cezar's sharp gaze clearly hinted at the truth of Nirvana's question, but he rebuked, Cezar replied,

"No, My Lord. I acknowledge your power." 

Nirvana smiled, but she let her guard down. Cezar quickly locked up the movement of Nirvana. Her sharp nails scratched Nirwana's neck draining sweet fresh blood.

"How dare you threaten me! You think I'm gonna bow to you?"

Darren and his group immediately unsheathed the sword while Rachel and Ryan chuckled and ordered his human allies to take the relic from Nirvana's hands.

"Take that thing out of this filthy human hand!"

Rachel stood in front of Nirwana mocking him as if the archaeologist had no power whatsoever.

"Well, who turned to challenge me?! Are you sure you're gonna continue?" balas Nirwana flat.

Rachel rubbed the blood of Nirvana dripping from the scratch with her fingertips, then licked it to taste the sweetness of the blood of the rightful owner of the relic. "Sweet, it's too bad we have to get rid of it!"

The red-haired woman whispered, "No one can lead a nation of vampires other than us!"

Cezar and Rachel laughed triumphantly while Nirwana just smiled looking at the figure of the man who was walking towards her. He did not care about the happy laughter of his opponent.

"Why am I not surprised Maxim? I thought there was an enemy in the blanket."

Maxim, the head of the Romanian National History Museum forcibly took the ancient relic from the hands of Nirvana. "I'm just doing my job Miss Nirwana. After all the price of this relic ... very expensive!"

"Hhhm, money! Why am I not surprised, for the money you pawned yourself to them? That's great!" it was Cibir Nirwana who got him one slap on his right cheek.

"I'm smarter than you Miss Nirvana!" Maxim defended himself, Nirwana clucked in annoyance.

"Are you guys going to shut up?!" he shouted at the other clan members. "Cezar has cheated you all, there is or is no Darren, the Vasile family remains the leader!" Nirvana is provoking.

An annoyed mutter back buzzing, Cezar and his group stared around alertly at the other possibilities that could happen.

"What are you guys thinking?! You guys want to oppose me?!" he shouted with threat.

One of the leaders of the Balan family spoke up, he looked at the other leader. "We have seen the power of Nirvana, the family of Constantin! I choose to be on his side!" 

The sword is drawn towards Cezar and his cronies. The courage of Balan's leader in following other family leaders who had actually been fed up with Cezar's arrogance. 

Darren smiled, "Hey old man! I think you're outnumbered now!"

"You guys!" Cezar held in his wrath, further tightening his grip on Nirvana's neck.

"Forward or he dies!" threatening Cezar, beside him Rachel and Ryan prepared with a drawn sword.

Darren laughed amusedly, "You don't seem to know who you are!" Darren glanced at Nirvana, "Until when are you going to pretend baby? Time to get back to my side, I miss you!" 

Nirwana giggled amusedly making Cezar and the others astonished. "I miss you too, baby. It's time to show who I am!"

Nirvana grabbed Cezar's hand holding him back, then quickly turned things around. Cezar's body had already lifted up and floated into the air. Cezar fell to the floor hard. He was humiliated by a human.

"Bad!" Ryan yelled in disbelief, "Take out the Strigoi!" tell his men again.

The sound of growls and heavy footsteps rang out from the dark passageway. Nirwana, Darren and his support clan are preparing.

"Darling, did he say Strigoi?" nirwana whispers to Darren.

"Yup, don't be afraid baby we'll protect you!"

A rough growling sound began to approach, roaring and creepy. Until finally the Strigoi hordes came, staring with red eyes and terrible sharp teeth, their tongues stuck out long, their noses sniffing the sweet scent of blood from Nirvana's body.

Nirwana looked up at the eight legendary creatures standing in front of him. They surrounded and prepared to pounce on Nirvana.

"Basic old fucker! So he stole my team's corpse?!"

"And make it a Strigoi! They smell your blood, baby, like a bloodhound!"

"Heilige Scheisse!" (H***it!)
