Everyone stared at Astra in bewilderment as to her statement. As most witches never really invite outsiders to their homes unless they have ties to said.
Usually they'd arrange a meeting place as to not have any unwanted people in their private spaces, as witches are known for possessing valuables such as potions, relics or magical artifacts that their known for hoarding until they find someone to buy them.
Another thing a witches home is fill to the brim with mana or magical energy that's most beings who can use would describe it as being super-charged especially if you were a magic user of any kind.
"Come now we don't want to be spotted now do we?" Astra said as she went through the portal with Nova in her arms.
"Hay wait for me!" Bacho immediately followed after, but Lazarus and the twins halted to enter. For the twins they knew the dangers of entering an unfamiliar territory, but for Lazarus it was entirely different.
Lazarus knelt extending his hand on his shadow and numerous tendrils extending to retrieve the bodies of Daken, Felicia and their boss. He than made a pulling gesture signaling the tendrils to bring them to him.
Lason and Cass stare in awe at their friend's progress to which they smiled at.
"You really learn fast don't ya!" Lason said as he patted Lazarus on his back meanwhile Cass stared as his back noticing the weird angelic wing tattoos on it
"Hay laz do you trust us?" She asked abruptly surprising her brother and Laz.
Lazarus looked at her in confusion but answered. "Yes, why would you ask that?"
She stared at the ground as she didn't know how to frame her wording. "It just seems as if your keeping way more secrets about who, or what you are, and while I do understand the need for secrecy as trusting people can be a dangerous thing.
But I assume me and Lason were different as we've been friends for a long time." She finished as her voice became meak and quite."
They stood in a brief silence as Lazarus approached her. He lifted his hand and gently cupped her face, he than lifted her face so they were eye-to-eye.
"I didn't want you to feel like that neither Lason or you Cassie, you two are the people i trust the most and that hasn't change even now.
It's just that what I know now is dangerous and if I was to put either of you in danger I'd never be able to forgive myself. I need you to trust me, cause all will be revealed in do time.
Cassandra and Lazarus stared into each-others eyes for a long while, their eyes conveying multiple emotions with one another.
As the rooms kept its silence Cassandra moved in to embrace Lazarus who than returned the gesture tightly embracing each-other and erasing the world around them.
"Promise you tell us when this is over?"
"Promise."
Cassandra and Lazarus loosened their hug as they stared at each-other again but this time both began to move their faces closer, but they were abruptly lifted into the air as a boming laughter rangout from lason.
"Hahahahah, that's good to hear! Welcome to the family you pretty faced bastard."
Lazarus and Cassandra looked at Lason who laughed and they joined suit in the laughter.
"Yoo." They than heard a voice from the portal.
"Look, I digging the scene but could you save it for when, oh I don't know? When the cops are coming here."
"""My bad.""" The all said in sync.
-
In the dark, empty streets of London a man who'd be running away from something.
He ran kept taking turns into the narrow allies to try and escape whatever was chasing him but he could still hear the sound of some large following him and it was getting close.
He saw an abandoned and desolated building with that seemed read to collapse.
" Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit." He repeated hysterically as he proceeded to hide inside on of yhe rooms as he tried to keep himself quite
But fate had other plans as a clawed hand that was covered in fur penatrated the wall with ease as it pulled most of the wall off revealing a monstrous beast.
A werewolf that stood a size of 7 feet with brown fur as its lowered itself to pass through the hole as it growled at the man who coward pulled out a knife that was freshly coated in blood.
*GROWL*
The werewolf's growls intensified upon seeing the knife as he slowly approached the man as if telling him he wasn't going to die fast or painlessly.
The man soiled himself as the beast inched even closer its claws elongated becoming razor sharp.
Bang.
A bullet shot towards the werewolf's head but it ducked as it looked int he direction where the bullet came from and saw nothing, but than the shadows began to moved around and a voice could be heard from all around.
"I seriously hate dealing with you rogue werewolves. What? After being kicked out of your own pack you decided to make it everyone else's problem." The voice said, causing the werewolf's anger to spike making him ignore the man.
"SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!" The beast roared as it tried to pin point location of the voice.
Send.
The sound of a blade cutting through the air could be heard as the sword turned its head to avoid the attempt but still received a cut along his neck.
But he retaliated as he grabbed his attacker than immediately slammed him onto the floor of their building which collapsed resulting in him and his attacker falling into the lower level floors of the building but than.
Chomp.
The werewolf arm was bitten off by a large shadowy wolf with red marks along its body.
The werewolf held it's hand as it tried to back up to get a good look at his opponent.
It was a young man no older than 20, with his brown skin, white hair with red tips and heterochromic eyes, with one being red and the other a deep blue.
He wore a simple button-down shirt, slacks and a fur caller cape. On his arms were 2 colors gauntlets, one being a pure white color with icey blue engraving while the other was a jet black with gold inscriptions. Both hummed with mystical energies.
To add more he held two weapons a crimson blade that released a faint red light that was yhe weapon he used to cut him which he was able to deduct it was laced in wolfsbane.
The other was a 6 chamber revolver which he deduced contained pure silver in it.
Upon looking at his attackers appreance the werewolf said one thing. "What is a Von Helsing doing here?"
