Marceline followed Cedric behind while Aunt Brianna searched the other areas. They didn't know what happened but they assumed that the emergency alarm had something to do with Kira.
Marceline was hoping that nothing happened to Kira. Though she trusted him and his strength, she couldn't stop herself from worrying about the vampire king. Did they catch him? Was he fighting someone right now?
She was already thinking of calling her grandfather for backup support if ever Kira was caught by the Triple W members. She had to save him and get him out of that building. This building was full of enemies and it would be dangerous for Kira.
'Please be safe, Kira,' Marceline wished silently.
She saw Cedric taking the elevator, going down. She quickly stepped inside the other lift, still following Cedric. There was a member who also rode the elevator with her.
Marceline didn't waste her time as she quickly grabbed the man's collar while pressing him on the elevator's wall. The man was caught off surprise by her sudden advances and unimaginable strength.
'Damn! Who is she? She is strong for just a woman. Why do I feel a sudden chill and pressure by just looking at her sharp eyes?' The werewolf man thought to himself.
"Where is that alarm coming from? What floor?" Marceline asked the man with so much authority in her voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The U-Underground. D," he replied almost instantly.
"Press the button!" Marceline ordered him.
The man's left hand reached out, pressing the "D" button. He also used his card to grant them access to the underground floor.
Marceline released the man, moving away from him. The werewolf man just rubbed his neck while looking at her with amusement and fascination.
'Who is she? She possesses a strong aura.'
He wanted to test her, trying to attack her sneakily. He thought he just wasn't prepared a while ago, that's why Marceline was able to grab him and push him on the elevator's wall.
However, even before his hand touched Marceline's shoulder, she already took a side step on the left side, dodging him.
She looked at him with her glaring eyes. Her deathly gaze sent chills down his spine. Before he knew it, he felt a hand hitting his jaw as Marceline threw an uppercut!
He hadn't recovered yet when Marceline raised her leg, kicking him on his lower abdomen.
"Argh!" The man grunted in pain, falling on his knees. That was a hard hit.
"No one has ever told you not to take advantage of a woman? This is what you'd get for trying to attack me."
Marceline gave him another hard blow after saying that. She hit him on his head to knock him out. The man fell unconscious right away.
Marceline enrolled in a martial arts class when she was still young. She wanted to get stronger to defend herself. She continued her training until she got older. So it was not a surprise if she knew how to fight and throw some punches. Her unimaginable strength also added to her advantage.
She reached the underground floor just a few seconds after Cedric left the elevator. She stepped out in a hurry, trying to catch up with him.
Compared to the other floors, the underground floor was too silent and not crowded. It looked like an empty floor.
She continued to follow Cedric behind. She saw him stop in front of the large steel door with different security scanners. Two guards welcomed Cedric, guiding him inside the prison cell.
She planned on tailing him inside to find out if Kira was there but Marceline suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure who had just came out from the shadows.
Her eyes lit up when she recognized the man. It was Kira! She was about to call him when she noticed something unusual about him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKira's suit looked so messy. His long sharp nails were visible to her as if he was ready to attack someone. Then, she saw him tracing his steps towards the steel door where Cedric just entered moments ago.
'What is he doing? Is he planning to pick a fight with Cedric?'
Marceline felt alarmed at that thought. All the werewolves and witches would be notified and alerted once Kira attacked Cedric, the CEO of Triple W.
'No! This is not part of our original plan! We are here to explore the building and find the location of the vampire prisoners, not to fight members of Triple W!'
Marceline dashed in his direction even before he could enter the prison cell. She had to stop Kira. He was just putting himself in danger by revealing himself to Cedric.
Kira who was furious and about to go on a rampage suddenly felt someone hugging him from behind thus stopping him from taking another step.
It did not take long when he smelled her familiar scent and heard her voice.
"Kira, stop! Don't go inside! We need to leave now. Come with me!" Marceline mumbled, tightening her grip on his body.
For some unknown reason, Marceline could feel his rage and bloodthirst. He was freaking mad right now. He wanted to kill someone to avenge the death of his fellow vampire.
Kira was not able to control his anger when he saw the prison cell where the vampire was tortured by Cedric. He found out from the werewolf who guided him inside the dungeon that Cedric was the one who tortured the vampire before he ordered him to be killed.
The werewolf guards who stood outside witnessed what happened. He read their minds so he saw exactly what happened in that prison cell. That vampire suffered miserably in the hands of Cedric.
Kira wanted to kill Cedric right now to satiate his anger. That mutt was so heartless and merciless when he tormented the vampire. Kira wanted to give Cedric the same pain he inflicted on his vampire victim.
But because of Marceline's presence, Kira's raging fury started to subside, calming his emotions and snapping him back to his normal state of mind. He almost forgot that Marceline was also there with him.
