Dante set out with a squad in the growing light of Dawn. Dante took his men, and they began searching the abandon buildings. It was past midday before they came to the last building and entered it. As he entered Dante noticed evident of a disturbance. Dante drew his sword and signaled for his men to fan out and search. They found evidence that the building was being used for some sort of gathering. Dante found signs and papers that hinted at the gatherings, but none of those who might have gathered there or the goal of those who gathered there. Then Dante heard shouts and the sounds of a struggle. Dante rushed forward and saw several of his men converging on the struggle. Dante saw them two robed men and the pale form of the vampire. Some of his men had come across them and a struggle had ensued. Dante saw in flash one of his men was down unconscious and another was nursing a wound. Dante and the other reinforcements came in and the vampire and those with him fell back. “Surrender” Dante said holding up his blade. “You have not chance”. Dante felt his men behind him weapons ready. The Vampire smiled wickedly and moved quickly. The vampire did not move to attack Dante or his men. The Vampire grabbed the robed men and in a burst of supernatural speed the Vampire moved through a nearby window. The window shattered and in a unfurling of black wings the vampire took flight taking the robed men with him. Dante cursed as he ran to the window and watched the vampire fly away. Dante then went to look to the condition of his men who had been downed. Dante saw that they would both live and make full recoveries.
