Thick As Thieves [Mikey Way]

Drew’s POV


Watch Them Fall
To Their Knees
As I Lay
I think I’m Flatlining

I felt time slow down when I heard that.

I knew who it was at once.

Daddy?
He’s the vampire prince.
The leader of all the vampires who kill when they feed.
He’s of royal decent.
He’s related to the first vampire ever.

It’s a horrible system.
Once a new prince is born, he is taken care of by his mother until the age of five.
She is then killed and he is taught and raised by his father.
If a baby is born a girl, she’s taken care of until the age of 18 before she’s sold into slavery.
There’s no winning.
Really, vampires are misogynistic assholes.
The bad ones anyway.

The vampires that were, as hunters, our allies, were kind.
They respected everyone and didn’t just see women as the source of the next prince.

That’s off track though.

I noticed the big eyed blonde bitch that had been stabbing me like a pin cushion for four hours appear behind the tall pale black-haired man.

She didn’t have long to go, and I don’t know why, but that made me happy.
I didn’t want her to live.
Is that bad?



I looked at Mikey who was just staring at him.

“You have a choice. You can come with us willingly, and bare your punishment in humble silence, or you can fight. Either way, you will be dying today.” The prince said with a smirk, showing off a set of spectacular sharp and white fangs.

Mikey snarled at him with his eyes glowing red, resembling the coals of a fire.

He looked back at the guys who were standing defensively around Mikey.

There were four of us, and easily 200 of them.
It wasn’t ever a fight for us to win.

Mikey gently lifted me up as he stood and carried me to the edge of the forest, setting me down amongst the dense trees.

He kissed me gently and whispered “I love you” before walking back.

“I would rather die with dignity, than be executed for something I didn’t do.” Mikey said bravely, and the guys nodded in agreement.

“You’re incredibly foolish, vampire. There’re four of you.” The prince said smirking.

“Who said anything about just us fighting?” Frank said with a smirk and Christian, in wolf form, howled.

Out of the forest came hundreds of wolves.

“A wolf never travels without its pack nearby.” Ray said with a smirk, petting Christian’s head as he growled at the vampire prince.

The pale man was obviously troubled by this but only let it show for a few second before the prince’s evil smirk reappeared.

It was war from then on.

All you could hear from miles around was the sound of howling and hissing.
All I could see was a mess of glowing red eyes and dark fur.

It was hard to watch.

I witnessed two evil vampires jump on Gerard, pinning him to the ground and biting into his shoulder.
I let out a whimper as I heard his cry.
Luckily, Frank got to him in time and threw both the vampires off him, pulling Gerard to his feet before fighting off another vampire who tried to attack him.

Ray was fighting side by side with Christian against about five tougher looking vampires.
Ray would knock them to the ground after a few punches and Christian would rip them limb from limb with his teeth and claws, repeating this as many times as it’s needed.

After helping Gerard, Frank was fighting alongside another wolf whose fur was caked with dried blood that I couldn’t decide whether was its own or not.
Frank was covered in blood too.

And Mikey was fighting all alone.
He was doing his best to fight them off but a vampire was slowly getting the better of him.
They were on the ground and there was a vampire on top of him, snapping at him wildly with his fangs while Mikey did his best to get him off him by rolling around and moving his head from side to side, jerking his shoulders to avoid the vampires attacks.
It seemed to be working.

There was a rustle from behind me and I quickly turned around.

Big mistake.

The quick movement caused me to let out a quiet cry of pain.

I turned back and closed my eyes tightly, my insides killing me.
And I felt something lick my cheek.

I opened my eyes and saw a gorgeous young wolf pup with gorgeous silver fur sitting in front of me.
It had obviously had a brush with a vampire.
It had a really bad leg wound and was limping badly.

The cub licked my hand and gave me a look, almost as if he were pleading for me to make the fighting stop.

I sighed and petted its head as it laid down, staring at the wolf that was fighting with Frank and whimpering whenever it was hit by a vampire.

I looked down at the cub.

“Is that your mother?” I asked and it made a little affirming noise.


I sighed and picked the small animal up, giving it a hug.

“She’ll be okay. I promise you.” I whispered and the little cub looked up at me, curling up on my lap and flattening its ears, almost as it were trying to block out the sound of death and fighting.

There was a sudden scream and I pulled my gaze back to the battlefield.

That’s where I saw the chocolate brown wolf I know as my Chrissy take a huge chunk out of the blonde bitch who tortured me.
I smiled slightly.

“That’s my boy…” I muttered weakly.

I looked down at the cub for a second and, when I looked up, there was a pair of glowing red eyes staring into mine.

The cub jumped up and growled at the vampire who just shoved it out of the way, sending it flying in to a tree with a loud whine.

I cried out and tried to get to the little wolf cub but the vampire gripped me by the shoulders.

His gaze froze me in place.
No matter how much my mind screamed at me to push him away, I just couldn’t do it.
As long as his eyes were on mine, I couldn’t move.
I couldn’t speak.

Time slowed down as he pulled his gaze away from mine and moved closer to my neck.
It stopped completely when I realized that I had lost my one chance to escape him.

I let out a scream as his fangs pierced my neck and everything stopped.

The fighting stopped and everyone looked at me.

I could feel the life draining out of me and I could feel myself slipping out of consciousness.

Suddenly, I heard Mikey let out a scream.

The fangs were ripped from my neck and I felt blood rain down on me as Mikey completely obliterated the vampire.

Everything went fuzzy.
