Chapter 32: Prepare for Battle Pt 1

September 1896, Louisiana.

(Peter’s POV)

Well it’s been a couple of weeks since the shit hit the fan. The Doc dropped the bomb that would set off  a whole new type of war in the south. Mistress is with child and that can only mean we will not only have to deal with the Major’s attitude but a hormal, bitchy pregnant woman too. Maria will have no idea what the hell she is walkin into with those two on warpath. I almost feel bad for her. Almost.

As it stands, the day to day has resumed on the farm. Mistress refused to have anything stop her fall harvest. She was as pushy as ever. Every few hours one of us would run a perimeter but would go right back to work. It was almost dusk when Char took off to run her check. She wasn’t gone but a few minutes when we heard her call. She found something.

Major and i took off in the direction she was headed.

(Charlotte’s POV)

The sun was just below the horizon when i left to do a perimeter check. Arabella was already headin inside. I had just hit the trees near the back fields when i smelt them. I gave a sharp whistle knowin the boys would hear it. That was our signal, so as not to let on that we were callin for back up. I took off in the direction of the scents i had smelt. I found them hoverin just a few yards into the trees.

Once they caught my scent they spilt and took off runnin. I went after what seemed to be the slower of the two. I was almost right on top of him when the other one came up behind me. I swerved off course and the one i was chasin’ turned and started in after me also.

I knew i could take them both, but then what would the guys do when they finally caught up to me. Peter would be upset he missed out on the fun and the Major would be pissed he didn’t get to tear into them himself. So i turned once more heading back toward the farm. Leadin them towards Peter and the Major. I could feel Peter once he was close enough. I gave two clicks and whistled. Telling them there was two. They must have split up and circled round cause i suddenly heard two thundering sounds as if two mountains had just crashed together.

I stopped and turned just in time to see Peter and the Major drop those two like they were nothin. Peter looked up at me, i could see the Captain was out. Those two were unstoppable when together. They were glorious to look at, if you were on their side. Scarey as fuck if ya weren’t. I walked back over to them.

“Ya did good” Peter said.

Should we take them back to the Mistress?”

“We should, she would want to question them.” Peter replied.

The Major growled. He was leary about takin them back to his pregnant mate but we all knew she would be pissed if we didn’t. So the Major and Peter subdoed them and we started back toward the farm.

Once we got to the tree line you could see the Mistress was standin on the porch waitin for us. You could see she was pissed from here. This was not gonna end well for these two.

What the hell is that garbage doin on my lawn?”

“Mistress we found these two in the woods near the property.”

And what pray tell were they doin there?”

“Not sure yet we brought them back for you to question .”

Well let’s get to it. I would like to get some sleep this evening.”

As soon as we got close enough the two captives started growling. I turned to look at them and their eyes were black. Stupid asses. The Major growled and tightened his grip on the one he was holdin.

“You will respect our Mistress or you won’t live to speak you piece.”

They growled at me this time. Well let’s just say that went over like a lead balloon. Peter ripped the hand off the one he was holdin, and the Major took the arm of the one he had.

You will take heed to our words and respect the ladies present.” Peter growled out.

Mistress walked down off the porch closer to us. The boys tightened their grip on the vamps.

“Why are you on my land?”

ggggrrrrrr.

I will not ask again.”

“We were sent as scouts.” the smaller of the two answered.

Scouting for what?”

“Others in the area that may help with my Mistress’s mission.”

And what mission is that?”

“To help her get her Major back.”

We all growled at this. Apparently we caught the attention of the Doc. He came out of the house and stood just behind Mistress.

And do you know who this Major is?”

“No we have never seen him. Only heard tales.”

Well then let me enlighten you. Major.”

Major growled and squeesed the vamp in his arms. Both looked at him and you could see the fear course through them. He soaked it up and damn near purred.

“You see boys the Major is rather happy here and i don’t think he wishes to return to your Mistress.”

But she said he was kidnapped. Taken against his will.”

“Well as you can see that is not how it happened. He is happy here and protects this land. It is his home.” she said while starin straight at him.

Finally the other one spoke up.

Our Mistress will stop at nothing to get him back!”

“Well then your Mistress with die trying.”

How will that happen you are but four vampires and a human against a whole army of soldiers.”

“Well child i think you will find we are more equipt then you give us credit for. Now i have a message for your Mistress.”

And your message is?” the cocky fucker asked.

“Tell your Mistress if it’s a fight she is lookin for then she is to come. But the Major is happy here and by hell or high water she will never put her disgusting claws on him again.”

Mistress?”

“Peter you will let them go so they can deliver my message.”

Yes Mistress.”

“Now leave and take your Mistress my message and if i see either of you again i will not be so kind.”

Yes Ma’am.”

“Peter, Major release them.”

Peter and Major turned.

Just one more thing. If you so much as try to run before you hit the tree line, i can garuantee that you won’t be delivering my message.”

Peter and the Major let them go, minus their hand and arm of course. They started walkin toward the trees quickly.

“Major?”

Yes Mistress?”

“How many men does it take to deliver a message?”

One.”

With that he took off. Grabbin the one missin his arm, also known as cocky fucker. Within seconds he was in pieces. Mistress walked over carryin a box of matches. Soon the plum of smoke could be seen for miles. The other vamp had already took off into the woods. He would deliver the Mistress’s message to Maria. I only hope she heeds Arabella’s warning.
