Rene could only stare.
He had created Deric himself. He had watched the transformation succeed and felt the connection form between them. Only a short time had passed since they had celebrated the birth of a new Vampire, and now that same companion was dying before his eyes.
But Rene could not save him.
He barely had enough time to protect himself.
With a furious roar, Rene rushed at Batsaikhan, abandoning every thought of escape. He threw a series of desperate attacks, striking with all the strength he could muster. His fists tore through the air, smashing a wooden crate and cracking the stone wall when Batsaikhan evaded them.
Yet the scout continued to avoid the attacks with swift movements, waiting for Rene to expose himself.
Rene's anger made him faster, but it also made him careless.
"You will die today!"
