The Crusaders II The players fiddles 8.5

1.          Makati City Manila

The twenty odd werewolves created a diversion at the ground floor fighting the vampire in the guise of guards while Clawer and another trusted werewolf ran for the stairs. Clawler had on a small bag slung across his back. The Treasure Chamber was on the fifth floor alongside with the main meeting chamber. Clawler pounce up the stairs followed by the other wolf. Suddenly at the second level, the door to the corridor opened and three vampires were rushing in.

"Move on!" The werewolf communicated to Clawler as it leap onto the three vampires at the doorway. Clawer climbed on the railing and jumped up to cling on the steps at the fourth floor. He then swing over the railing and ran as soon as his legs touched the flooring. He reached the fifth floor doorway and rushed in with no hesitation. There were three more vampires standing there at the other end. Clawler looked and then rushed at them. As he near them, Clawler reached into the bag and drew out a handful of silver dust. He threw it at the vampires who were rushing there; his attack worked to plan. The silver dust hit the vampires in their eyes and burned at it. Clawler followed through with his claws into their necks and killing them there.

Clawler looked at his bloodied claws and growled. He then rushed in pass the locked doors to come into a large chamber with a table in the center. There stood Baal with another figure crouched on the flooring before the table.

"Clawler, I am been waiting for you. I know you would head for here." Baal then paused before continuing. "We last met when you were with your master then, Sir Black. Now after a lapse of five centuries, we meet again. You served another of the family now; a lady I was advised."

Clawler moved to the right as he was looking at the crouched figure but it slink to hide behind Baal.

"Clawler, you are scaring my pet. You may know it." Baal had a leash on the crouched figure. He pulled it to force the creature to come forth to face Clawler. "Clawler, meet Wilhelm."

Clawler growled louder and his claws extended out to its fullest. The other name Wilhelm also growled with its head angled slightly to the left.

"You would like to challenge Clawler, Wilhelm?" Baal asked the crouching figure. "But your neck hurt you."

"Clawler, Wilhelm would never fight you. Not again. Wilhelm is dead." Baal laughed out loud. "But since you made it so farm I would give you something else to fight for."

Baal dangle the silver amulet in the shape of the wolf howling at the moon. Clawler looked at the amulet and then at Baal. Wilhelm grabbed the amulet and ran to the far corner with the leash trailing at his neck. It placed the amulet with the cain over its neck.

"Wilhelm bring back the amulet. Now!" But Wilhelm refused to come over. Before Baal could move, Clawler ran towards Wilhelm. The later on seeing the rushing figure stood up with it figure transforming into the werewolf it was. Clawler charged at the werewolf but the former was quick this time. It stepped aside causing Clawler to rammed into the wall. The werewolf lashed down with both paws on Clawler.

Wilhelm raised his paws again but Clawler had rolled clear. In the roll, Clawler grabbed the trailing leash and pulled at it hard. It dragged Wilhelm to fall on its back when Clawler chopped down with his claws. Clawler chopped and pound relentlessly with his claws until Baal dragged him away.

"Wilhelm is defeated but he won't die. He's already dead." Baal shout at Clawler. He then pulled the amulet from the bloodied neck of Wilhelm. "Take this. It rightfully belong to you now.You are their leader. Defeat the pretender Fenrir. That is your new task. Do as your mistress tell you. Then come and get me."
